Yi Xiaohai got off the bus five minutes early and went downstairs to Building 26 and knocked on the door of Room 201.
With four bedrooms and two living rooms, a house of more than 150 square meters should be very spacious.
But when dozens of people were crammed in here, it seemed a bit crowded.
Teacher Ma is not here, nor is Xing Chongcai. It is Fan Shihuang who receives Yi Xiaohai.
Yi Xiaohai inquired about their whereabouts, and the news he got made him very depressed.
Hongsheng, together with Fidelity, tdf and ab, has determined the big framework, and they are negotiating the financing details with Mr. Ma and Xing Chongcai.
He wanted to find out the location of the negotiation, but the other party didn't know.
Yi Xiaohai left a few words and his business card, hoping that Teacher Ma could contact him before leaving.
More than an hour after he left, Teacher Ma and Xing Chongcai came back.
The faces of the two people were not very good-looking, and the negotiation was not going smoothly.
"Hongsheng wants 55% of the shares for US$3.3 million, which is too much. The remaining three companies want 28% of the shares for US$1.7 million. We have no say at all. You need to consider this matter carefully."
Xing Chongcai does not seem to support this financing plan.
Because the founder team¡¯s shares are too diluted, it is easy to have a control crisis and be plundered by capital.
¡°What if we only buy shares and don¡¯t give them voting rights?¡±
"Lin Xiaoru probably won't agree. She is most likely to reduce her shares and maintain a 50% control line."
Both of them fell into silence.
They need this investment very much now, which is related to whether Alibaba can survive the most difficult period of entrepreneurship.
But the massive loss of shares means they may completely lose control of the company.
Xing Chongcai knows very well that this is a common trick used by capital to seize the fruits of victory from entrepreneurs.
Fan Shihuang came in.
"Mr. Ma, an investor called a few days ago and said he was interested in our project. He came over today. I think it will be beneficial to our financing."
"You're talking about the one called Duoduo Investment Company?"
"Yes."
Teacher Ma shook his head.
He discussed with Xing Chongcai and chose the four world-class venture capital companies led by Hongsheng. Not only could they solve the financial problem, but they could also successfully get into the vision of those venture capitalists and prepare for the next round of investment.
? And Duoduo Investment Company is unknown and may not meet their needs.
"However, the business card that the person who came over today gave me was not Duoduo Investment Company, but the director and senior investment consultant of Morgan Stanley"
Teacher Ma has recently learned about venture capital around the world and found that Morgan Stanley can rival Hongsheng.
He looked very surprised:
"Are you sure the other person is not a liar?"
In the early stage of financing, he and Xing Chongcai approached Morgan Stanley, but the other party was not optimistic.
A large part of the reason why Hongsheng was interested was because Xing Chongcai and Lin Xiaoru knew each other, and it was easy to do things with acquaintances.
Otherwise Hongsheng wouldn¡¯t pay attention to them.
Now that the director of Morgan Stanley has come to visit, it is normal for him to be suspicious.
Fan Shihuang is not too sure:
"The man is not old, he looks like he is only 20 years old, but there is someone who looks like a bodyguard next to him. Their car looks like it should cost millions, so he doesn't look like a liar"
Teacher Ma and Xing Chongcai looked at each other, both a little confused.
"What's his name?"
Xing Chongcai belongs to the investment circle, and he knows something about Morgan Stanley.
Although he has never heard of it, Dalmore has a 20-year-old young director, but he should know it by his name.
"His name is Yi Xiaohai, and this is his business card."
Fan Shihuang handed the business card to Xing Chongcai.
"Yi Xiaohai"
Xing Chongcai has no impression of this person at all.
Yi Xiaohai has always kept a low profile. Those who know his name are all boss-level figures. They will not publicize Yi Xiaohai everywhere. It is normal for the outside world to know nothing about him.
And Xing Chongcai is in the field of venture capital, and Yi Xiaohai is mainly in the futures market.
Although they are all in the financial industry, there is still some span.
¡°In addition, Xing Chongcai has left his job for a while, so it is normal for him not to understand the situation.
"Lao Ma, do you think you want to meet me?"
"I want to meet you."
Teacher Ma is not a hesitant, he is very decisive:
"If the other party is fake, we have nothing to lose. If it is true, we have one more choice, and we can also put pressure on Hongsheng through Morgan Stanley,"
"Of course, we have to give priority to Hongsheng. After all, he is your old friend and we have been talking for so long."
Xing Chongcai nodded:
"Let's meet, you can fight right away. We will meet each other in the afternoon to see their attitude. We will also have leverage to meet Hongsheng tomorrow morning. I will call my friends to find out who this Yi Xiaohai is ¡¡±
Neither of us likes to hesitate, so we just do what we say.
¡¡
After Yi Xiaohai left, he went to Siyue Hotel. Wei Baobao had already arranged a room for him.
"How many days will you stay in Hangzhou this time?"
Wei Baobao threw him a cigarette.
¡°I¡¯ll leave as soon as the things are done, maybe tomorrow, or maybe in two days.¡±
"It's not often that I need you to come here for something special"
"I want to invest in a company, so come here and take a look."
Wei Baobao came up like a shark smelling the fishy smell.
"I'm also very interested in investment."
"You are interested, but others may not be interested in you."
Yi Xiaohai¡¯s previous contacts with Alibaba were all in the name of Duoduo Investment Company.
Today, he discovered that Hongsheng was making very fast progress, so he had no choice but to take out Damo's identity.
Because he knew very well that Ababa had Xing Chongcai,
Xing Chongcai is a very visionary and capable person.
His joining transformed the company from a team supported by brotherhood to a formal collective with shared interests. He made everyone understand shares and shareholder rights.
It was his existence that prevented Ababa from growing barbarically in his early days and foreshadowed the future Ababa.
His first financing for Alibaba was not without a bottom line.
¡°It¡¯s not enough to have money, but also to have fame.
He needs Alibaba to integrate into the circle of capital, so that capital can see Alibaba, and future financing will be smoother.
so,
Yi Xiaohai took out Damo¡¯s identity to attract the other party to meet him.
certainly,
He will definitely not cooperate with the other party in the name of Dalmore, because the battle with Dalmore is brewing, and he does not want to let Dalmore get an advantage.
"Brother Bao, is Sister Mei busy now?"
"She had her baby in the capital of Shu"
Wei Baobao looked at him warily:
"I'm warning you, she can't do anything recently. She has to have her baby in Shudu. You are trying to drag her along"
¡°I just asked her for a favor.¡±
¡°Introduce a few venture capitalists to me, it¡¯s just a phone call away.¡±
"That's okay, but this time you have to take me with you when investing."
Wei Baobao is such a smart person, and Yi Xiaohai is so high-profile, it must be a very profitable project.
He doesn¡¯t have high demands, just follow him and drink soup
