My Age of Investment

  Chapter 444 Big brother with wide connections (seeking monthly pass)

  Standing on the 36th floor full of various decoration materials, Chen Hong said with a smile: "Ask me to meet, just treat the guests like this, please eat ashes?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled "haha", "Take you to recognize the door. If you have any good business in the future, let your colleagues in the Beijing office lead people here."

   Liu Hai, who stood behind Xia Jingxing, smiled and said nothing. Xia Jingxing had just introduced him to Chen Hong.

  Before Xia Jingxing, this is a mainland student with the highest commercial achievement in the United States. Now he is returning to China to invest in investment banking.

   is also a big brother!

  Chen Hong stopped and went, looked at the office being renovated, and said with a smile: "You are not a small area here, it seems that you have to do a lot of work."

   "Hey, why are there so many foreigners there?"

  Chen Hong asked in surprise when he saw two foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes mixed in the pile of decoration workers, pointing with his fingers.

  Vision Capital America sent a total of four employees to China, two whites and two Chinese.

It's not that I don't want to send all Chinese. As a result, there are only two Chinese in the company's administrative department.

  Xia Jingxing explained with a smile, “Sent from the United States, it’s impossible for me to supervise the construction here, right? Hiring a front desk and letting me play in person?”

  Chen Hong smiled and said, "That's right, you are not suitable for your status."

   "What is the identity or not, it is mainly because there are too many things to deal with, and there is no time to deal with these trivial things."

  Chen Hong observed his words and thoughts, and asked tentatively: "Are you here to live?"

   "Yes, big job!"

  Chen Hong came in interest, "Walk around, go to Starbucks downstairs and chat."

  So, Chen Hong pulled Xia Jingxing downstairs, followed by Liu Hai.

  Because it was the afternoon, there were quite a few people drinking Starbucks downstairs, all of whom were brightly dressed white-collar workers.

  Xia Jingxing felt that the environment was a bit noisy and suggested to change the place.

  But Chen Hong was very grounded, or could not wait to understand the inside story, took Xia Jingxing and the two to a corner to sit down, ordered three drinks, and chatted.

  When Xia Jingxing talked about Qihoo, Chen Hong immediately started to complain.

   "Oh, Zhou Hongyi, I know that it is better than a monkey with fur."

   "Hey, didn't he go to IDG? Why is he still thinking about starting a business?"

   "I tell you, talk to him, you have to be careful."

  Xia Jingxing smiled. Whenever he talked about Zhou Hongyi with people in his circle, others did not say that he loved to shoot guns, or that he was shrewd, and there was no one.

  China's Internet circle, it is estimated that Jack Ma can stabilize him.

  After hearing Xia Jingxing’s talk with Qihoo that the negotiations with Qihoo were deadlocked, Chen Hong waved his hand, “Don’t pay attention to him, his man, give him some color to open the dyeing workshop, let him dry first.”

  Xia Jingxing frowned, "The key is that Qihoo officially launched the product a few days ago. With their past contacts, many small forums and communities have rushed to sign contracts.

  I’m afraid that if I drag on, the price will not be this price. "

  Chen Hong took a sip of the coffee on the table, cursing, "It's so terrible, and it's so expensive."

   "Talk about business, big brother!"

  Xia Jingxing is a bit funny. Although this old man is a billionaire, he is also a true temperament. After knowing him for a long time, he is used to the other party's style.

   Putting down the cup, Chen Hongzheng said: "First of all, you can't take the initiative to contact them. If you contact them now, you will definitely be slaughtered."

   "I just care about this, so didn't I look for Brother Chen for you?"

  Chen Hong smiled "Hey", "Look for me, then you are looking for the right person. Wait, I will ask you first."

  Next, Chen Hong took out his mobile phone and started contacting friends in the circle.

   "Hey, Gongquan, didn't you hop from IDG to CDH? I ask, did Zhou Hongyi contact you CDH?"

   "Oh oh oh, yes, I understand! No pimping! I just ask..."

  Hung up the phone, Chen Hongchang exhaled and looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile.

"what happened?"

  Xia Jingxing was a little awkward by the other's expression, and asked.

   "Hey, guess what, guess what, what did this talent do?"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "How do I know?"

  Chen Hong smiled and shook his head, "Zhou Hongyi has spread the news to the circle, saying that Envision Capital has taken a fancy to Qihoo.

  As the founder of Facebook, as a representative of WEB2.0, you are also a representative of Chinese in Silicon Valley.

  Even you are optimistic about their "WEB2.0 + search engine" business plan. "

  Chen Hong glanced at Xia Jingxing and grinned, "Guess yourself later!"

  Xia Jingxing rolled her eyes and asked: "Self-worth?"

   "Otherwise?"

  Chen Hong said with a smile: "Wang Gongquan said, a few days ago, on behalf of CDH, he talked with Zhou Hongyi and the two of them. 20 million US dollars, a penny less will not work.

  He wanted to establish a relationship with Zhou Hongyi, but Zhou Hongyi didn’t like this one at all.

  At present, they are still undecided and want to wait and see one or two more. "

  "They only need 20 million U.S. dollars to open their mouths, but only 3721 sold them for 120 million U.S. dollars.

  That's why Yahoo people are stupid and have a lot of money, so they came to take the order.

  If it is an M&A by a large domestic Internet company, I estimate that it will not be sold at half the price. "

  Xia Jingxing was not happy with Zhou Hongyi's secretive behavior, but from the other side's point of view, this is also a normal thing.

  When Facebook was financing, he concocted Sequoia Capital and DFJ in this way.

  Now the heaven is circulating, it's his turn.

  However, he was not particularly angry either. In business, there was no smooth sailing. There were a few twists and turns. That was true and wonderful.

  Chen Hong thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, I will contact a few people to see."

Then, Chen Hong made a phone call to partners from dozens of mainstream investment institutions such as Deng Feng of Northern Lights, Sequoia Capital Shen Beipeng, IDG Zhouquan, Jingwei Zhang Ying, etc., and asked him about the situation. .

  Seeing that Chen Hong was so concerned about his own affairs, Xia Jingxing sighed secretly, paying for this bad relationship.

After making so many calls, Chen Hong's mouth was dry for a while, and he quickly grabbed the ugly coffee on the table and took a big sip, and then slowly said, "It's no help. This guy is afraid that every mainstream organization in the country will There was a sound of wind.

  Currently, Sequoia, Jingwei, and IDG have all expressed interest.

  Especially Sequoia, you should pay attention that Shen Beipeng and Zhang Fan have just completed the fundraising of the first phase of Sequoia China's fund, more than 200 million US dollars, and a project has not yet been invested.

People with rich entrepreneurial experience like Zhou Hongyi and Qi Xiangdong are their favorites.

  There is also IDG. They entered the country in 1992 and thrived in the country. Isn’t Zhou Hongyi still in IDG now? "

  Speaking of this, Chen Hong smiled and shrugged, "I take back what I just said, you are afraid that you have to make plans early, otherwise it is really possible that you will be cut off."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, this is the gap between being famous and not famous in the industry.

  Zhou Hongyi is well-known and well-known, and there is no shortage of capital to support him.

   Ordinary entrepreneurs may not even have exposure to venture capital.

   "Okay, Brother Chen Hong, thank you, please go and press a motorcycle tonight!"

  Chen Hong made so many calls. He was a little listless at first, but he was alive and well in an instant. He laughed and said, "If you want to say this, then I won't be sleepy."

   "Haha, good, arrange arrangements."

  Xia Jingxing had a smile on her face, but in her heart she wondered how to fix Zhou Hongyi.

   "Jingxing, I have to tell you something, or some suggestions."

  Chen Hong has a serious face, "Don’t think your brother is unpleasant, but I have one thing to say, and I will never do anything perfunctory."

  Seeing that Chen Hong was so serious, Xia Jingxing didn't know what the other party was trying to say, so she responded with a smile: "What is our relationship?

   "First of all, your information is too unblocked. Zhou Hongyi's dog said that he put such a big smoke bomb, you didn't even know?"

  Chen Hong went on to say: “I know, you can’t be blamed. You have just returned to China, and even the office is still being renovated, and the employees are even more absent.

  However, when doing venture capital, you can’t do things behind closed doors, you have to move more and more together.

  Secondly, you can’t carry it.

  I know that you are worth a lot of money. I ate with Hu Zuliu the other day and heard from him that you seem to have borrowed US$1.5 billion from Morgan Stanley.

  So much money, it is enough to buy 5% of the top ten Internet companies in China.

  But, can we do that kind of rough work?

   Venture capital is an art, pay attention to buy low and sell high, and the whole process will inevitably involve negotiation, post-investment services and so on.

  This is a delicate job and requires patience. In addition, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs are equal and respect each other. They can feel your attitude towards them. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Brother Chen Hong, the first point of information you said is not smooth, I have to admit that, I am also stepping up the construction.

  I will not admit the second point. I have never put on a show, and I put entrepreneurs on the same level. "

  Chen Hong smiled and nodded, "If you have it, you can change it, if you don't, you can add encouragement. I just want to remind you that you are new to the industry and your worth is so high.

  This industry is also full of swords and shadows, and wind reviews are also a knife that kills people without seeing blood. You should be more careful.

  You are so rich, it is easy to get in the way of money! "

  People's kindness, Xia Jingxing naturally thanked him for a while.
