Chapter 012 Venture Capital
Meng Qian is currently software, and he is involved in both technology. He needs to let the software create high value in a short period of time and spend money on the development of new technologies. He also wants to set up a battery company - this is a fast-forward strategy that is different from software companies.
But the current situation is quite embarrassing. Meng Qian spent all his money on the marketing of the company's products, and there are only about 500,000 left. It is not safe to establish a general taxpayer company (more than 500,000), not to mention being picky about high-tech materials, research has been burning money.
So he was very busy during this period and didn't pretend to say that he was working when he went to the cafe.
I used to think that this kind of "people-bourgeois mood" was quite pretentious, but now he no longer cared, a cup of coffee, a laptop, and a code was knocked on. When I was tired, I ate a few biscuits, looked at the scenery outside to adjust my eyes, and then went online to check the problems related to battery materials.
"Xiao Meng?"
Meng Qian looked up when he heard the sound, Gong Hui came over with a handbag. She was still dressed up in a dignified and decent manner, and her faint elegance made her look pleasing to the eye.
"Sister Hui, sit here?"
Gong Hui sat down opposite him without hesitation, glanced at the table: "I'm so busy with work recently?"
"Catch the progress." Meng Qian moved away the things on the table, "Do you like this cafe too?"
She nodded: "I like the quiet atmosphere here. You can see a large area of green space next to the window. I feel very relaxed...whether of you?"
"Me?" Meng Qian smiled, "It's close to home and the internet speed is fast."
"I guess so." She showed a light smile, and whether it was speaking or expression, it gave people a feeling of being unhurried and slowing down.
Meng Qian closed the computer: "Chain with the beauty with peace of mind."
"I've been too flattered." Gong Hui shook her head funny, "I'm so old that I'm too old, I'm sorry for the name of a beautiful woman."
"Beauty has nothing to do with age, it's just mentality." Meng Qian took a sip of coffee.
Meng Qian is quite good at speaking, changing the name of beauty and sister at will. Gong Hui shook her head on the surface, but from a woman's perspective, she must like it. As for his purpose, she was just bored and relaxed, and she felt that communicating with her made her feel very relaxed.
The topic was not deliberately or targeted, and it was carried out casually.
After chatting for a cup of coffee, Meng Qian received a call, said a few words, and said goodbye to Gong Hui: "Sorry, I'm doing business."
Although Gong Hui had just started talking, she was understanding: "Go and do it quickly."
Meng Qian packed his things and packed his bags, paid the bill and got up and left, walked out for two steps and then returned: "The morning running environment in the community is very ordinary. I usually go to a nearby park and run a few laps along the lake. The air is very good, so I highly recommend it."
Gong Hui nodded with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, I will try it tomorrow."
"goodbye."
...
Meng Qian drove to the company before he started a business.
He had already reminded Liang Tao before that the offer was notified to him only if it was in line with his valuation of the company.
When he came to the company, Liang Tao explained the situation to him: "There is a venture capital company that is willing to raise 20% of the financing with 6 million yuan, and it can also be negotiated."
The valuation is exactly 30 million, Meng Qian nodded: "Contact by phone."
After dialing the other party’s phone number, Meng Qian chatted with the other party for a few words, and then agreed to meet in person the next day.
The next day, two people came to the other party, Liang Tao went downstairs to greet them, and took them to Meng Qian's office.
"Please sit down, two gentlemen." Meng Qian stood up and signaled that the other party was dressed in a serious suit and tie, and was about thirty years old.
They sat down, and one of them spoke: "Hello, Mr. Meng, my name is Ma Mingliang, this is my business card."
Liang Tao handed over the business card to Meng Qian.
Meng Qian glanced a few times and found that it was a company that had never heard of a name. Of course, it was related to his lack of deep access to the business district. The other party's financial strength was still good. Being able to approach Meng Qian so quickly and accurately also proves their efficiency in collecting business information.
So Meng Qian went straight to the point: "What is the quote from your company?"
Ma Mingliang said: "6 million 20% stake, this fund is enough to assist Optimizer in more comprehensive development and make up for the current marketing gap."
"20% is too high." Meng Qian shook his head.
Ma Mingliang smiled and said, "What do you mean by sir?"
Meng Qian said: "15%, 6 million."
Ma Mingliang said: "This price is quite high for us, as far as I know..."
Meng Qian stopped: "If your company has researched programming, it will be clear about its huge value. I think the giants of mobile phone security software are coveting and overwhelming about technology now, and it is only a matter of time before their actions can be taken."
Ma Mingliang loosened his tie. Venture capital companies are definitely not stupid. They have already evaluated the software in advance and are also clear about the leading technology in this.
So he gave in: "5.5 million financing is 15%, which is our sincerity."
"This price is not good." Meng Qian shook his head and even lost interest: "Forget it, the company will release a new version in a few days, and the functions will be more complete, and my quotation will also rise. Now I have a 6 million offer, but I won't be able to 10 million next time."
"Please allow us to discuss for a moment." Ma Mingliang said.
"Ask." Meng Qian said calmly.
Liang Tao was looking at the performance of both parties, and was also expectant and nervous. If the transaction was really made for 6 million, the company's value would reach 40 million! You should know that Penguin's valuation was only 20 million, and he had to take control. Now, in this short period of time, has it doubled?
After discussing and calling again, the two people finally focused on it: "We agree to raise 15% of the 6 million yuan."
But Meng Qian was a little reluctant to agree, because they agreed too well, proving that there was still room for negotiation... But he also thought that the company's funds have bottomed out recently, and if there was no external financing, marketing, and promotion, the company was in a hurry to spend money recently.
After some trade-offs, he also agreed: "Very good, we reached an agreement."
Liang Tao opened his eyes wide and was shocked!
He is not a software artist. When he uses the super optimization master, he thinks it is easier to use than other security software, and the memory cleaning and operation acceleration are excellent. But he can't guess that such a software that cannot be discussed in profits will be worth so much money!
Other employees of the company were also very surprised. The higher the value, the more rewards they received!
After the two VC firms left, the office was already cheering.
Meng Qian came to everyone, unbuttoned his suit, and said with a smile: "I said that my previous promise was valid. Although the company is currently in a hurry to lack funds, I decided to give out 100,000 as a bonus!"
Everyone couldn't help but cheer. There were only a dozen people in the company. If they scored an average, each person could get nearly 10,000, even if it was a few thousand, right?
"Just be quiet first!" Meng Qian pressed his hands, "This is just the first step. Work hard to make a new version, do a good job in publicity, and reward more for future financing or acquisitions!"
"Long live the boss!" People were in a state of excitement.
