Chapter 119 Three types of projects favored by investors
After Jiang Chao heard Liu Yudong's request, he thought for a moment and then agreed.
Liu Yudong's idea was very simple. He wanted Jiang Chao to be Liu Shihan's piano teacher, but he had to use the reason of studying in Donghai City to tell Liu Shihan that he could not go to Kyoto to teach her. He wanted to coax Liu Shihan to come to Donghai City.
This is also true, and it does not count as deceiving Liu Shihan.
Liu Yudong said: "It won't take up too much of your time. It doesn't matter if you have one class a week or one class every two weeks. If you can't convince your daughter to come to Donghai City, forget it. As for the remuneration, I will pay Li Yundi's price."
for you."
Remuneration is not an important thing. Jiang Chao also likes that little girl Liu Shihan very much, so it doesn't matter even if he teaches Liu Shihan for free.
After the decision was made, Jiang Chao felt a little helpless at the moment. After listening to Liu Yudong for a long time, he could not find an opportunity to raise funds with Liu Yudong. It would be really abrupt if he said it directly.
At this moment, Liu Yudong's phone rang.
Liu Yudong glanced at the number lightly, not shying away from Jiang Chao's presence, and picked up: "Hello?"
Liu Yudong listened to what was said on the phone, his expression was a little uncertain, but his tone was still very kind, "Oh, the young man's idea is very good, but to tell you the truth, although I founded the company, I am not the only one who said it.
Forget it. We need to hold a meeting and discuss with shareholders before we can invest... Just wait, we are going through the process."
Jiang Chao couldn't help but look puzzled when he heard Liu Yudong's words. Liu Yudong was clearly trying to fool people who didn't understand corporate governance.
Liu Yudong quickly hung up the phone. Seeing Jiang Chao's expression, he smiled casually: "It's a relative from my hometown. His son is starting a business and he wants me to invest in him."
Jiang Chao quickly understood that Liu Yudong was rejecting his relative. He thought that this was a good opportunity to bring the topic to investment. So he thought about it and said, "The son of Mr. Liu's relative is also a college student?"
Liu Yudong looked at Jiang Chao with some surprise and nodded: "senior year."
Jiang Chao immediately made an expression as if he was asking for advice humbly: "Mr. Liu, can you tell me about investment?"
Liu Yudong smiled: "Investment? Do you want to learn this too?"
Jiang Chao said modestly: "I'm a little interested."
Liu Yudong picked up the tea cup and blew it gently, "Investment is a very good knowledge. It is also good to learn it, but what knowledge do you want to know?"
Jiang Chao thought for a while: "What do you think about college students entrepreneurship?"
Liu Yudong glanced at Jiang Chao with interest and smiled: "I don't recommend college students to start a business."
Jiang Chao's expression remained unchanged: "Why is this?"
Liu Yudong thought for a moment and realized that this Jiang Chao seemed quite pleasing to his eye, and he would probably give lessons to his daughter in the future. Since he was asking for advice humbly, he would give him some guidance.
"No matter who you are, you should ask yourself 4 questions before starting a business. What is your motivation for starting a business? Where does the money come from? Are you ready to run a company? Can you bear failure?"
Jiang Chao nodded slightly.
"However, college students cannot answer these questions at all. Most of their entrepreneurial ventures are blind, and their social circles are very limited. It is not easy to find people with social experience to join their projects." Liu Yudong took out a cigarette and said
"Do you mind if I smoke?"
Although Jiang Chao minded in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud. He shook his head: "I don't mind."
Zhou Wenyu, who remained silent, quickly lit a cigarette for Liu Yudong.
Liu Yudong took a sip, exhaled the smoke, and then continued: "Lei Jun said when he was an angel investor that he would not invest in college students' projects. I agree with him on this point. So my relative's son... haha
, I casually learned about his project, and it was very naive."
Jiang Chao was silent for a moment. He didn't expect that Liu Yudong would view college students' entrepreneurship this way. Jiang Chao was originally full of confidence, but now he couldn't help but feel anxious. After thinking about it, Jiang Chao asked: "Then Mr. Liu, if you choose to invest
, what kind of projects will you invest in?”
Liu Yudong thought for a while and nodded with some approval: "This is a good question. If you want to start a business in the future, you can consider it in this direction. There should be three types of projects that are favored by venture capitalists. The first one is
The ones with higher attention are what is often called the eyeball economy; the second ones are asset-light; the third ones are the invested projects with secondary development value." After speaking, Liu Yudong shook the cigarette ashes lightly and was not in a hurry.
As he continued speaking, he wanted to give Jiang Chao some time to digest.
Jiang Chao was silent for a moment, "The first point is easy to understand. Hot money will not flow into industries or projects that have no attention. Even if they are reluctantly listed in the future, they will not get much premium. Since the income is limited, venture capital is naturally interested.
Not big."
After speaking, Jiang Chao looked at Liu Yudong hesitantly and did not continue to speak.
Liu Yudong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Chao to understand immediately. He smiled and said, "Go on."
Jiang Chao then continued: "Asset-light refers to the concept of using small funds to make a big difference. Unlike real estate, manufacturing and other industries that accumulate large amounts of funds in fixed assets, asset-light projects are best not to involve contiguous factories.
There is no need to build high-rise buildings. Its core resource is creativity. Venture capital favors light assets, which is easy to understand. The cycle is short, and although the risk is high, the results are quick."
Liu Yudong's eyes lit up slightly. He didn't expect that Jiang Chao would be so knowledgeable in business. He thought that people who engaged in art were unworldly, and some old artists were afraid that money would ruin their reputations. This Jiang Chao
Chao started to have some taste for Liu Yudong.
Jiang Chao smiled slightly and continued: "As for secondary development, in addition to the value of the project product itself, it should also be able to generate other benefits through other channels."
Liu Yudong smoked his cigarette very quickly. After Jiang Chao finished speaking, his cigarette had burned to the edge of the filter, so he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said with a smile: "That's very good. I didn't expect you to still do it."
Have you studied doing business?”
Jiang Chao smiled: "Mr. Liu, if there is a project that meets the three characteristics you just mentioned, would you be willing to participate?"
Liu Yudong's expression did not change at all, but he laughed and said, "Little brother, don't tell me that you are also engaged in entrepreneurship."
Jiang Chao hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Mr. Liu, let me tell you the truth. I am indeed working on a project. It is going well in all aspects. We have plans to expand and are looking for suitable investors.
"
Liu Yudong remained calm. Although he listened patiently to Jiang Chao's words, he did not show any interest. He just nodded and said: "It's worth encouraging."
Hearing this, Jiang Chao's heart suddenly went cold. Liu Yudong's meaning was very obvious. He was not even interested in hearing what Jiang Chao's project was.
Jiang Chao wanted to say something else, but Liu Yudong changed the subject: "By the way, I think you drank Biluochun. Do you know anything about Biluochun?"
Jiang Chao knew that Liu Yudong no longer wanted to hear what he was talking about. If he didn't know what he was talking about, he might be self-defeating. It seemed that he could only look for opportunities later, but if that didn't work, he would look for other investors. So Jiang Chao spoke.
:"not understand well……"
Liu Yudong smiled: "Then let me tell you. Are you willing to listen?"
"Appreciate further details!"
…
After coming out of the tea house, Jiang Chao cursed himself secretly: "Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao, why are you so restless!"
Sure enough, I am still too young and too green when it comes to contact with big guys like Liu Yudong.
Jiang Chao thought carefully about the mistake he made when communicating with Liu Yudong, took a long breath, shook his head and left.
the other side.
Liu Yudong was still in the teahouse, where he had to meet a partner. While waiting, Liu Yudong lit another cigarette and asked Zhou Wenyu with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, what do you think of Jiang Chao?"
Zhou Wenyu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It should...should be good, right?"
Liu Yudong glanced at Zhou Wenyu and said, "Not only is he good. After the average student knows my identity, he won't be able to speak in front of me. Looking at him again, he is elegant, neither humble nor overbearing. Of course, he may be a piano player.
He’s used to seeing big scenes. But his analysis was logical and insightful, but it couldn’t be done by playing the piano—he was a talent.”
Zhou Wenyu remained silent.
Liu Yudong sighed slightly: "Xiao Zhou, how old are you this year? Oh, thirty-three, right?"
Zhou Wenyu nodded quickly. "Yes, Director Liu."
Liu Yudong said: "At the same age, you are not as good as him."
Zhou Wenyu felt a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to show it and just nodded.
Liu Yudong changed the subject, "But, again, he may be a talent, but he is too young. Especially since he has never been severely beaten by society, his heart is as high as the sky. It is too early for a student like him to start a business. Don't listen.
From his introduction, I guessed that his project must be a castle-in-the-air project."
Zhou Wenyu nodded: "Indeed, it is difficult for students to come up with such reliable projects."
Liu Yudong looked at his watch, "Mr. Zhang will be here in half an hour. Go turn on the TV and watch the news for a while."
Zhou Wenyu quickly went to turn on the TV.
As soon as the LCD screen lit up, a program was playing on the Donghai City channel.
