In fact, the money was not delayed for long. It was already in Shinhwa Company's account less than three hours after Hao Ren left the bank.
This also gave Hao Ren some confidence.
In the company conference room of Remote Culture Media, Lu Wenhai followed a man. This was Chen Hai, the CEO of Cool Company and the founder of the company.
Speaking of the other party, he is considered a relatively famous figure in China. Back then, music software was not as popular as it is now. He led others to create Cool Music, which was also popular for an era. Unfortunately, the times are developing too fast, and he
Because I insist on independence, I want to find a way on my own and build the company into a unicorn.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. In a few years, Chen Hai watched his company be surpassed, and then users continued to lose and were attracted by other competitors.
He also thought about reform, but for a company founded with passion, how to reform it? Many of the company's old employees couldn't hold on and left one after another to find another way out.
In the past two years, he has been thinking about it, hoping to attract investment and let capital enter the game.
It's a pity that after that limelight, there is now very little capital that can take a fancy to him.
There are only a few of them, and they all have small capital. Not to mention they have a lot of money, but they also have a lot of appetite.
Lu Wenhai told him before that you wanted to invest, but he didn't take it seriously. But when he heard about the other party's reputation, he became a little curious.
He specifically checked online and immediately learned some information about Hao Ren. He was shocked that he had established the Shinhwa Supermarket. In just two years, according to some rumors, Hao Ren was worth billions.
He believed it, because Hao Ren previously invested one billion in Longguo Video and became the company's fourth largest shareholder. It is said that now Longguo Video has signed many good dramas recently thanks to Hao Ren's investment.
It can be regarded as a huge surge in popularity.
Nowadays, video and music companies are big money burners. Without money, it is impossible to move forward.
Out of need for capital and curiosity about Hao Ren, Chen Hai decided to come to Liuzhou in person to meet this young man who was in the limelight in China recently.
When he came to Yuan Yuan Culture Media, the first person he saw was Chen Yao. The first time he saw her, Chen Hai's eyes lit up.
He did not expect that the general manager of Remote Culture Media would be such a young girl. In terms of appearance, he had rarely seen such a beautiful girl even in Yanjing.
In addition, Chen Yao's managerial temperament greatly outshines those so-called internet celebrities.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hao has something to do at the company today, so he came late."
Chen Yao was wearing a decent suit and looked at Chen Hai and others apologetically. A cup of steaming coffee was placed in front of them.
"Mr. Chen and Manager Lu came to Liuzhou today. They must stay for two more days so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."
Chen Yao said with a smile, acting extremely decent.
"This is Mr. Hao's girlfriend. They opened this company together, but strictly speaking, Chen Yao helps him manage it."
Chen Hai thought of Lu Wenhai's previous instructions to him.
He also admired Chen Yao's performance in his heart.
Almost half an hour later, Hao Ren rushed to the company. Luo Fei appeared out of nowhere and said to Hao Ren with a smile, "People from Cool Company have been waiting for half an hour, why are you here now?"
"
Hao Ren nodded, "Some things in the company have been delayed. I'll go in right now."
"Wait a minute, straighten your collar."
Luo Fei chuckled lightly and stretched out his hands to adjust Hao Ren's collar. When the others saw this, they all remained silent and lowered their heads on their own initiative.
Hao Ren's pupils shrank and he quickly moved away, looking around with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, go to work quickly, and study when you have nothing to do."
Hao Ren spoke in a low voice, then quickly stepped forward and entered the conference room.
Daniel followed closely behind, expressionless.
Looking at Hao Ren's back, Luo Fei smiled and looked at the looks of some people around her without taking it seriously. The reason why she did this was just to show that she still had some influence in the company, and she was not without it.
It is not impossible for a relationship to last until the end.
It is unlikely that Chen Yao can dominate the company with one hand.
In the conference room, Hao Ren opened the door and saw Chen Yao and Chen Hai across from him.
"Mr. Hao, you are here. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen from Cool Company, and this is Manager Lu Wenhai."
When Chen Yao saw Hao Ren come in, she felt relieved. Hao Ren had to make the final decision on this cooperation, otherwise, even her words would have no effect.
Hao Ren looked at Chen Hai and said with a smile, "Sorry, Mr. Chen, I just had a phone call with Mr. Guo from Puyun Capital, which delayed a little time and kept you waiting."
Chen Hai looked at Hao Ren with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He knew that Hao Ren was very young, but he didn't expect that he was so young.
He was thinking in his mind that if Hao Ren entered the entertainment industry instead of doing business, he would soon become the top figure of the new generation.
"It doesn't matter, we just arrived not long ago."
Chen Hai smiled slightly, "Mr. Hao, he really surprised me. He has achieved so much at such a young age, which is so shameful."
"Where, where."
Hao Ren spoke humbly and sat on Chen Yao's right hand side.
Chen Hai also sat down, took out a few documents from Lu Wenhai, and handed them to Hao Ren and the others.
"I heard that Mr. Hao was interested in our company before. I didn't believe it when Wenhai told me. But when I heard that it was Mr. Hao, I believed it. This is our company's planning document, including the company's current operating situation.
Mr. Hao, please tell me about the shares after you buy the shares, the future development direction of the company, and some plans."
"If Mr. Hao thinks it's okay, we can continue talking."
Hao Ren took the document and distributed it to Chen Yao and others.
He opened it himself and looked at it seriously.
The same is true for Chen Yao and others.
"Well, your annual revenue is less than 30 million now?"
Hao Ren was a little surprised.
After all, it was once the most popular music software in China. Now its annual revenue is less than 30 million, and its profits are imaginable. No wonder it wants to seek investment. If this continues, it is not far from bankruptcy.
"There is no way. Competition among various domestic music software is too fierce. Penguin Music, NetCloud Music, and Tiantian Music account for the largest number of users in the country. They are all backed by large capital, and other companies have been squeezed out of their living space.
"
Chen Hai spoke helplessly.
There is no need to lie here, otherwise, once found out, it will be even more trouble for the company.
Hao Ren nodded and saw the current total music volume of Cool Music, the number of users, monthly growth, etc. It can be said that it is appalling.
There are a few small companies that have invested, but the total amount is less than 100 million.
This little money is not enough to fill the gap between teeth.
The company's current market capitalization is only about two to three billion, but this is a hot potato and no one would think of taking over.
There was only the sound of a group of people flipping documents in the conference room. Chen Hai and others were silent and waited quietly.
An hour later, Hao Ren and others finished reading the documents and closed them.
"I thought your company might not be doing well, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable. Well, there is nothing wrong with your future development plan, but even if there is a problem, I can't see it."
"You want me to invest. To be honest, I have doubts about Mr. Chen's ability. In business, how can you make me believe that after you get the investment, you can turn the company from losses to profits and quickly catch up?"
Hao Ren frowned slightly and spoke.
He is indeed interested in investing in the music industry, but what he wants is a capable teammate, not a loser who only loses money.
Chen Hai is not angry. He has long passed the age of prosperity, and what Hao Ren said is true. This is not 10,000 or 20,000. If it is an investment, it is in hundreds of millions. With such a lot of money, you have to give
Why should investors give you a convincing reason?
To put it bluntly, it’s how you gain the other person’s trust.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Hai smiled bitterly and said, "I can't guarantee this. I can only say that I will do my best."
Hearing this, Hao Ren said playfully, "Mr. Chen, this reason is not sufficient. I think any investor will regard this as a cliché."
"You can't help me if you don't believe me, but let's make a bet. If you invest 200 million, if I reach a certain goal, if I fail, the company will be yours."
"Of course, if I achieve it, then I have decision-making power, but you can take 40% of the shares."
Chen Hai looked at Hao Ren and said.
"Betting?"
When Hao Ren heard what the other party said, he immediately reacted. He had heard about this situation before. In order to obtain financing, some companies signed gambling agreements to develop the company or how much profit they could make.
People can either hand over the company. Of course, if it is completed, they can naturally become a dragon and get through the difficulties smoothly.
Many big guys in the country seemed to have experienced it, but this was the first time for Hao Ren to see it with his own eyes.
"Yes, it's a bet. If the bet wins, the company is still mine, but you can get a corresponding return on investment. If the bet loses, the company will all belong to you."
Chen Hai said in a deep voice.
He knows that the company now needs a large amount of funds. Only with large amounts of funds can it be possible for the company to regain its vitality and move to a new level.
And what can be given to him may be the young man in front of him. Of course, it is not impossible for him to sell the company, for example to Penguin, and the other party can even give him 100 million. However, Cool Company is his lifelong effort,
He regarded it as his own son and was unwilling to let it go.
Otherwise, he would have sold the company two years earlier.
Chen Yao and others were also a little surprised. They did not expect that Chen Hai would actually propose this method of betting.
They all looked at each other, silently thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
"If we make a bet, do you know what I want?"
Hao Ren narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person.
"As long as it's not too outrageous, I can take over."
Chen Hai also looked at Hao Ren. Although the latter was young, he had a temperament that Chen Hai had only seen in some real corporate bosses.
Hao Ren tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if thinking. Everyone else was extremely quiet. Lu Wenhai looked at Chen Hai in surprise, not expecting that the other party was so bold.
If you directly propose a bet, if you win, you will be like a fish and you will become a dragon. If you lose, you will have nothing. Only the craziest gamblers can do this kind of thing.
