Fang Yi was also reading his own magazine, but it was not the one from the Directors Guild, but the business development book of the "DJ" company.
Unlisted companies do not need to disclose operating conditions to the public, but they must disclose them to shareholders and new investors. If they develop well, they will also proactively disclose their operating conditions to the public to attract attention.
DJ is developing very well now.
When Wang Tao made this thing, he thought it could be used for engineering equipment, spraying pesticides, etc. However, most of its current demand comes from individual customers, and they purchase it out of curiosity. This kind of demand is what Wang Tao
incomprehensible.
Investment funds can't manage that much, so sell as hard as you can wherever you can, and it's better to boost performance quickly.
After the "We were born here" documentary was launched, DJ came to the stage for the first time as a hardware supplier, and the effect was quite good - domestic business is divided into public and private, and private alone is not enough, only public can make investors feel at ease.
The cooperation with China Film Group proves that DJ has started to get stable big customers.
As DJ's connections and channels in the film and television industry, Fang Yi was invited and attracted by Sequoia Capital.
Also here this time was Zheng Qiudong's boss, a rather friendly-looking man named Zhou. He came over to discuss his skills with Fang Yi, and then treated Fang Yi to a meal at a luxurious restaurant in the club, without mentioning any business matters during the whole process.
In the evening, Zhou arranged for a socialite to accompany Fang Yi, but he refused with excuses.
Zheng Qiudong then followed over, holding the club and saying, "Play the ball back again?"
Seeing that Fang Yi didn't answer, he explained, "It's really about playing ball."
"OK."
However, soon, Zheng Qiudong began to talk about Sequoia Capital's arrangement.
"By the year after next at the latest, that is, 2012, we will take the DJ brand to the market. The listing must take into account its business status, market size, number of patents held, cash flow, etc... But the most important thing is
market."
"Tell a story." Zheng Qiudong emphasized the word. "But when it's your turn to tell a story, Director Fang, you are the most professional. We tell it to investors, and you tell it to users, and they are also your fans."
Zheng Qiudong skillfully swung the golf ball, and the golf ball flew in an elegant arc. The ball flew farther than a normal white ball by virtue of the airflow formed by the engraved grooves.
The two took a golf cart to the track together. After finding the ball, Zheng Qiudong swung again. After repeating it several times, the ball was already within a few feet of the end of the green flag.
Zheng Qiudong no longer carried the club, but went to the ball with his bare hands and touched the grass on the ground. He raised his head and explained to Fang Yi:
"This is a kind of ryegrass from West Asia. It can live in a semi-arid environment for a long time, and its shape does not require additional modification because it grows slowly. It is said that even if you leave it alone for a whole year, you will not water it.
As long as it rains a few times during this period, it can survive."
"The annual precipitation level in the capital is 448 millimeters, which is a bit less, but it's enough for these grasses. Look..." He gently touched the top of the grass, "It's growing quite well, isn't it."
Fang Yi was noncommittal and agreed, "Not bad."
"But this is not the characteristic of ryegrass."
"What's the meaning?"
"Ryegrass likes temperature and humidity, and can tolerate a certain amount of acidity, but it is least able to survive in dry places... They are planted here in large numbers, and they must be carefully maintained every day, and precious groundwater must be pumped and sprayed on them. There is a plant in Beijing.
More than a hundred golf courses mostly use this kind of grass or cultivated varieties on their fairways, and these courses are just monsters that occupy a lot of land with water."
"I was washing my hands in the restaurant's bathroom just now when I saw a public service announcement playing on its screen: It's everyone's responsibility to save water."
Fang Yi seemed to understand what he meant, "You mean, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the former use extravagant waste to distinguish their classes."
"It's not just that." Zheng Qiudong continued. "Before I joined in, I didn't know they were using this kind of grass.
I didn’t know that there were grooves in golf balls, I didn’t know that people could make hundreds of millions in a short period of time, money was just a number... I didn’t know these things, but now I know, I understand the world
the truth."
He said in a deep voice, "Director Fang, you are just like this. I just didn't find good opportunities or meet good partners before. I think Sequoia Capital is the partner you need."
"Didn't we already cooperate?"
"No, not yet."
Zheng Qiudong picked up the ball and showed Fang Yi the texture on the ball: "Just like this ball, it needs to be hit on a well-designed golf course with a club worth tens of thousands made of aluminum alloy. Its flight
It makes sense, and it can fly higher and farther."
"If it were elsewhere, even if it was a different arena, the flight path might have changed, even if it was still the same person playing, what do you think?"
The ball was placed in his palm, Zheng Qiudong lowered his body again, "I trust your decision."
Fang Yi didn't know what he was going to do at first, but then he found that he was putting his hand on the lawn as a human tee, waiting for Fang Yi to swing. He looked at Fang Yi and the finish line dozens of centimeters away.
Fang Yi holds the club in his hand - that means that if he cooperates with Sequoia Capital, they will arrange everything and let him take the last swing and give him the final victory.
In the private cooperation before the market, is this a joint effort to oust the original founder?
After all, the code and the market have been developed, leaving only endless money.
But Fang Yi shook his head, "I don't know how."
"If you don't know how to play golf, you still can't play this kind of golf."
"I actually prefer to be idle."
Zheng Qiudong was confused and made a puzzled sound. He watched Fang Yi leave him and go to the golf cart.
"Hey!" Zheng Qiudong shouted in a long voice, "Director Fang, we can talk again. Maybe you didn't think about it today. You can contact me again at any time."
"Don't worry yet."
Zheng Qiudong thought that Fang Yi was going to drive away, but he didn't expect that Fang Yi was still waiting for him. He didn't drive back silently until he came up.
"Thank you," he said.
Fang Yi didn't reply to him, got out of the car and said, "It won't be the same next time. When I say it won't be the same next time, I really mean it won't be the same next time. If you mention these things again, I won't be as polite as I am now."
"I see."
Then he said goodbye. Zheng Qiudong returned to the restaurant and reported the situation to his direct leader Zhou Kui: "Fang Yi is not willing to cooperate with us, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com But he now has 14 points of equity in his hands. In addition to the founder, he
The largest individual investor.”
Zhou Kui said, "Keep dating him until he is tempted. DJ may be worth billions or billions next year and the year after that. I don't believe he won't be tempted! We want to make him ours and then kick him out - Hua So
Spending a lot of money to raise the stock price is not just to make wedding clothes for others... Tell me, how did you tell Fang Yi."
Zheng Qiudong told the story, but omitted the so-called "water saving" advertisement he saw in the bathroom, and the part where Fang Yi was obviously unhappy but still drove him back.
However, his boss obviously didn't care how he came back. He only needed a human to reply to the loudspeaker. After confirming that nothing was accomplished today, both of them became frustrated. The boss complained: "Before I came to see Fang Yi, I had already made an appointment with Wang Tao from Pengcheng.
Once, I hope he will give up part of his equity appropriately, and Sequoia Capital will acquire it at a premium, but he won’t let me.”
He added, "Speaking of which, last time I went to Wang Tao's place for eye drops, I hung Fang Yi's photo at the door of their corridor, which made Wang Tao hate Fang Yi from then on - eh, but later it was changed to a team photo.
I don’t know if Wang Tao has realized it, but I also think this method is too low-level."
"When it is actually launched and there is enough money, everyone will go crazy. Now those who think they are noble will lower their bodies to pick it up." Zhou Kui saw the caddies cleaning golf balls at the window, their bent postures of hard work
Zhou Kui found it funny, "It's like a dog, looking for a ball but not qualified to play. It's better to pick it up and work for others. What do you think of Qiudong?"
"Why don't you speak? You haven't spoken since just now."
Zheng Qiudong: "Does it look like it?"
His boss was amused and pulled him over to point at him, "Isn't it like that?"
