Global monopoly of technology

Before Luo Sheng set off, he spent a sum of money to purchase a suit and leather shoes, and his change-over look looked like a proper piece of workplace meat.

Luo Sheng, who was born in 1985, is 19 years old this year. He looks a little immature at all times. It is said that the hairless mouth is not strong. Although the dress is bright and beautiful, it is not reliable at all.

And this time, Luo Sheng has encountered problems for the first time since 2003. This time his investment tour has become a trip to a wall.

Just when he went out to find a VC, in an apartment in another place, the shopping site Dibao was in full preparations, and it was expected to go live in three months.

Boss Ma, the founder of Alibaba, is also seeking private equity financing. The environment is not good, and the cold winter when the Internet bubble burst seems to show no signs of recovery. It is not easy to get investment.

In the next half a month, Luo Sheng started from Shencheng, flew to the north, and then flew to the south, tossing and turning.

After a lot of effort in the capital, I finally met the founder of Sohu, seeking angel round financing. Mr. Zhang learned of his intentions, but he refused before he finished speaking, and threw a hurtful sentence: you are something , I randomly find a few college students to do better than you in less than a month. In the current industry environment, what do you use to compete with Tengxun QQ?no future!

Luo Sheng wanted to tell him that he actually made it in less than half a day!

But did not say it.

After being rejected, Luo Sheng found Lianxiang Company again. He could not meet the founder of this company, but he also met an executive of the company. When he heard that this young man was here to attract investment, he said So he pushed Luo Sheng back:

[At this age, you should go to college first. The social network model you mentioned is impossible to succeed. The reason is very simple, because there is no such model in the United States. Only this one is enough.]

There is no such Internet social mode in the United States, no way!

This is the sentence Luo Sheng heard the most, and at least ten investors rejected him with this sentence.

In the case of repeated encounters in the capital, Luo Sheng had to leave after staying for seven or eight days, and flew to Guangdong Province instead, looking for Rebs on the first trip.

Luo Sheng was fortunate enough to successfully meet with the busy man Lei Zong, for which he paid the price for three days, and reaped the result of rejection.

When Luo Sheng left, Mr. Lei also teased the people around him: “This young man and Ma Ni are really two extremes, one is a scorpion head, the other is handsome, but they all have one thing in common. , The project is bigger than the sky, and it will connect all mankind at all times. It is cheating money from young people."

...

The 17th day after leaving Shanghai.

At this moment, in the afternoon local time, Luo Sheng, wearing a suit and leather shoes, was carrying a briefcase in one hand, which contained several thousand dollars in cash and the development plan of the BlueSpace website.

And the other hand is holding a bottle of mineral water half-drinked.

In these 17 days, he met 32 ​​investors back and forth, including the industry's big names in the future.

But after seeing so many people, the blue space website development plan in his briefcase was never shown to investors.

Because there was no chance at all, all the investors he saw were extremely strong, and Luo Sheng was denied without saying a few words.

After personally experiencing it, he can finally understand how Boss Ma felt when he was rejected, because of the 32 investors he saw, more than half of Boss Ma had also seen them when they made investments.

Let's just talk about Mr. Lei. Luo Sheng felt that he shouldn't make another mistake again, but Mr. Lei's operation almost flashed Luo Sheng's waist.

After drinking the remaining half bottle of mineral water, Luo Sheng took the empty bottle and glanced around on the street, found the trash can and threw it away.

Five minutes later, he was standing under Tengxun’s current corporate headquarters building. Of course, Tengxun does not have its own independent headquarters yet. Luo Sheng hesitated to try and see if he could meet Xiao Ma. .

After thinking for a while, he made a decision, and immediately moved forward.

Go to the airport and return to Shencheng.

Luo Sheng gave up to see the owner of Penguin because he remembered that Xiao Ma had also rejected the founder of Ari. He had also asked him for financing at the beginning, but the negotiation was not finally reached, it is said.

Brother Xiao Ma had a chance to vote 15%, but on the one hand he was not optimistic about Boss Ma’s project, and on the other hand, he felt that the proportion was too small and wanted 50%. Naturally, the negotiation was not achieved.

...

Shencheng, Bluestar Technology Studio.

"Oh, I'm back, has it been invested?"

When Xu Yong saw Luo Sheng come back, he tossed the bag and the suit aside, went to the old sofa in the living room and sat down unlovably. Xu Yong saw that he already knew the result, and joked: "Look at this situation, angel. I didn’t get the investment, and I even lost the travel expenses. How can I call it a terrible word? Thank God for not being infected with SARS..."

"You are really inspiring." Luo Sheng rolled his eyes helplessly, and then stared at the ceiling blankly. This time he went out to pull investment, he didn't look for overseas capital, but in this situation, he is afraid that he will be a boss. The old way.

Luo Sheng was already thinking about it.

At this moment, Xu Yong had two bottles of beer, sat next to him, and smiled: "Tell the story of your trip, I have wine."

Luo Sheng took a bottle in his hand, took a sip and sighed, and said: "Speaking nicely is the limitation of the times. If you put it nicely, say... Forget it, this is fate, yes. My life is also the life of 30 or so investors I have seen, and I have perfectly missed a technology giant with a future market value of hundreds of billions of dollars."

Hearing his last words, Xu Yong almost didn't get choked, and immediately said: "Hundreds of billions of dollars in market value? Do you think of yourself as Bill Gates? No wonder you can't get investment..."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "It's not without gain, this trip is still necessary, why? Next time you will know that these people can be eliminated, so as not to waste time, we still have some money now, if we need money urgently It’s the case of all being rejected. How much money is left?"

Xu Yong: "There is still 150,000 yuan."

On the way back, Luo Sheng also thought about the reasons for the failure. It shouldn’t be blamed on the investors’ lack of insight, and he has some problems. If the website develops well, its reputation can even be paid attention to by the industry, it may not appear More than 30 investors refused.

After returning to Shanghai, Luo Sheng began to focus on the development of the blue space itself.

...

Unknowingly, one month passed, and the facts proved that Luo Sheng was right. In the next month, the B community became popular on campus faster and faster.

The Internet and capital circles have finally attracted attention, and they have even spread across the ocean to Silicon Valley.

Nowadays, the topic level even surpasses QQ. In universities where B community is already available, most of the students on campus are chatting on B community, looking for new friends and so on.

People want to register crazily, and during this month, Luo Sheng and the two of them are almost in constant irritation. They both want to let B Club launch on three or even four university campuses every day.

In just one month, the B community has been promoted from the original Fuda to more than 100 universities. Although it has only been launched in more than 100 schools, there are hardly any college students in the country that have not heard of Blue Space. On Jia Dahong’s social networking site, some college students even chatted about the topic of B agency on QQ instant messaging.

But now QQ can only chat privately, because there is no such thing as QQ group.

As early as March 7th, after the B community was launched at Jiaotong University on that day, 70% of the students registered for B community account in less than a day. The development speed can be said to be unmatched.

Now, even the current social giant QQ has been taken aback, and the entire Internet and investment circles are looking at it.

The overall scale is small, but the growth momentum is quite impressive.

This represents potential.

It is no exaggeration to say that since the Internet bubble was pierced so far, the social networking site Blue Space is the most eye-catching new site so far.
