Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

President Liu has also been worrying about funding recently.

Although I have worked hard to plan carefully, the money is still not enough.

So where does the money come from has become a very tangled question.

I have already gotten a sum of money from Tenda, and I haven't made any results. I am really embarrassed to ask for it.

But if you don't get money from Tenda, it will be more difficult to get money elsewhere.

As a result, he didn't expect that when he was struggling, He Desheng took the initiative to come to the door to chase the shots. This is really heartwarming!

This shows that Tenda is optimistic about this project, whether it is in terms of funding or confidence, it has provided a boost for everyone.

Therefore, Mr. Liu was moved and thanked He Desheng a lot.

He Desheng smiled and said, "Oh, there is no need to thank me in particular, I just follow the rules of President Pei."

Mr. Liu on the phone hurriedly said: "Understand, in short, thank you so much! Thank you Mr. Pei and Mr. He for your support and trust in our company!"

"My staff and I must redouble our efforts!"

He Desheng also called two other small companies that had no hope of profit and wanted to pursue investment. These companies were all overjoyed and moved.

Because in their opinion, the behavior of Tenda and Yuanmeng Venture Capital is really heartwarming!

Although the situation of these small companies is different and the probability of project success is also high or low, most people really want to make the project.

Because the finances of these companies are all supervised by Tenda, and they can't make any tricks, everyone's interests are the same.If the project is successful, not only the investors will make money, but the company boss and all employees will also make money.

In such a shortage of funds, Tenda's generous donation is of course also a very moving thing.

Finally, He Desheng dialed Meng Chang's phone.

"Hello? Mr. He!" Meng Chang's enthusiastic voice rang over the phone.

He Desheng couldn't help but sigh. In the eyes of others, Meng Chang is really a perfect entrepreneur and a perfect entrepreneur.

The personal image is excellent, the eloquence is very good, the speech is contagious, the execution is strong, the long-term vision, and always energetic, will put 100% of the energy into the work at any time...

These advantages are all concentrated on one person, even if there is a small flaw, most investors will subconsciously ignore it.

He Desheng said: "Mr. Meng, congratulations, Mr. Pei decided to invest another six million for the cold girl."

On the other side of the phone, Meng Chang was taken aback for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

at last!

Finally got President Pei's chase!

Since the creation of the cold noodle girl brand, Meng Chang has also taken great pains, from the initial PPT, to the later press conference, to the nearest store and various marketing events...

Doing so much is to impress investors!

Among all these investors, Meng Chang is most concerned about Mr. Pei.Because Pei is always a genius investor, as long as he can get the investment of President Pei, and then take the investment of other people, it is a matter of hand!

In fact, so far, many investors have approached Meng Chang in private, wanting to invest in the cold girl.

But Meng Chang did not agree.

Because the conditions of these investors are too harsh in his opinion.

Some require too many shares, some require the signing of a gambling agreement, and some require the signing of investment terms that include agreements such as investors' priority to sell and restrictions on the transfer of shares of founders.

The so-called preemptive right of sale refers to the agreement between the investor and the founder that if a third party purchases equity from the founder, under the same conditions, the investor has the preemptive right to sell; while the restriction on equity transfer refers to the agreement that the company will have a certain stage before (Such as before an IPO or merger), founders may not sell their shares.

In layman's terms, it is to restrict founders from selling shares for cash.

This is actually a very common phenomenon, because for investors, investing in a project means investing in people. If they invest money and push up the company’s valuation, but the founder cashes out and leaves the company, how can we ensure that the company continues to grow rapidly?

Investors certainly hope that the founders will always live a tight life so that they can go all out to start a business and make money for investors.

For Meng Chang, this is of course an unacceptable condition.

The purpose of my hard work is to cash out, but you won't let me cash out, is that okay?

Could it be that I really worked hard for you for a lifetime?

Therefore, Meng Chang did not accept this condition, but was waiting for an opportunity to increase his right to speak.

If the company develops too fast, it is a piece of sweet pastry, and countless investors want to get a share of the pie, then naturally there will be investors rushing to invest, and Meng Chang will no longer need to sign these restrictive terms.

And President Pei's chasing investment is a good opportunity.

Because Mr. Pei is an investment vane in the eyes of many people, Mr. Pei chased the cold-faced girl for 6 million. This is a clear signal that someone will definitely follow and sign some looser terms.

This is a crucial step for Meng Chang!

Because his money burns quickly, if he burns half of his money, he will fall into a very embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, President Pei took the shot!

Meng Chang suppressed his joy forcibly: "Thank Mr. He, thank Mr. Pei, I will definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, He Desheng interrupted him: "Don't worry, Pei always has conditions."

"The condition is that you must keep the matter of Tenda's 6 million investment in absolute confidentiality, and you must not disclose any information to the outside world. This is regarded as a confidentiality clause in the investment agreement and cannot be violated."

Meng Chang: "?"

His mood was originally in a state of ecstasy. Hearing this moment was as if he had been hit by the head and was knocked out.

Confidential?

why?

Meng Chang felt very puzzled.

If it is other investors, the founder will generally be restricted from selling shares for cash.And Meng Chang boldly judged that President Pei would not do this, because President Pei never seemed to have arranged similar terms when investing.

That's why he attaches so much importance to President Pei's investment.

Facts proved that his speculation was correct. President Pei did not propose similar restrictions, but he never expected that President Pei would have requirements for confidentiality!

This is considered to have hit Meng Chang’s weakness, not fatal, but uncomfortable!

Does Meng Chang need this money?Of course it is needed.But his purpose is not just to make the cold-faced girl burn an extra month or two, but to leverage more investors' funds and push up the company's valuation.

In other words, this matter must be communicated to the investors to be valuable.

Otherwise, it is just a dry six million, nothing more than letting the cold-faced girl burn money for a while.

However, Meng Chang had no reason not to accept the money.

Because Mr. Pei’s money does not restrict the founders from selling their shares to cash out, it is much better than the conditions given by other investors.

Besides, the face of the cold-faced girl still has to continue to support, the money still has to continue to burn, the capital chain cannot be broken, and once the drama is broken, it can't continue to sing.

Therefore, this money happened to be stuck in a position a little bit higher than Meng Chang's psychological bottom line. It was a pity to discard it and it was tasteless.

On the other side of the phone, He Desheng asked, "Is there any problem?"

Meng Chang reacted quickly and said quickly, "No problem!"

He Desheng didn't say much, just encouraged him to work harder and hung up the phone.

Meng Chang let out a sigh of relief, a touch of worry appeared on his face.

After several previous experiences, Meng Chang has already made it clear that it is meaningless to bargain on this kind of issue. President Pei said that with his unique character, it is impossible to give him a bargaining opportunity.

If I don’t get this money now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it in the future. Compared with other money that restricts the sale of shares, it is more comfortable to hold this money.

Meng Chang couldn't help but sigh. President Pei is indeed unfathomable. From dealing with him to the present, every move of President Pei seems to make him uncomfortable!

When Meng Chang first got the investment, he had to accept Tenda to assign finance; now the second investment must be kept secret.

If you give a score to satisfaction, then Meng Chang's satisfaction is around 60 each time.

If this score is lower, Meng Chang may give up, there will be no brand of cold noodle girl at all.

Mr. Pei can just get the score card just right, step on Meng Chang's psychological bottom line, let him start a business, but always make some restrictions in some seemingly insignificant places, which makes Meng Chang very uncomfortable.

What worries Meng Chang the most now is that he doesn't know whether his ideas have been seen through by President Pei?

Are these restrictions that Mr. Pei has made for himself, or are they for all investors?

Meng Chang knows very well that at the last press conference, President Pei sent President Ma to beat him up. This kind of master trick is like Tai Chi. They will stop at each other. They will never do too much, but It won't tickle your boots.

Mr. Pei's series of actions made Meng Chang feel like an extremely calm wolf, following him far behind.

It seems careless, but it makes people feel hairy.

It is possible that the wolf just happened to pass by and would not hurt him, but it is also possible that the wolf will suddenly accelerate and jump out in the next second, throwing him directly to the ground and biting his throat.

Mr. Pei's method of detachment, always keeps a certain distance from Meng Chang, neither infringes upon his core interests, nor gives up threats to him.

Some shuddering feelings, but always self-doubt, don't know if it is an illusion.

This is very contradictory.

But the matter is now, Meng Chang feels that he is only one step away from success, and there is no reason to give up.

Thinking of this, Meng Chang calmed down and made up his mind to continue implementing the original plan.

Although President Pei has made some restrictions on him, he has not completely restricted him. He still reserves some operational space.Meng Chang felt that he could do it again.
