Compared with the real entrepreneurial process, BP project work is simply too easy.In order to make the project more reasonable and easier to implement, some ideal data can often be "artificially selected" to make the market prospect on paper optimistic.
But the reality is often very basic. Qizheng and Li Yunshan used their spare time to go to the high school they had selected in advance to do scouting, and also went to a few regular shopping spots that their parents loved to increase their source of customers.But when it comes to their upcoming business, many people hold a wait-and-see attitude or even stay away immediately for fear of being cheated.
Li Yunshan didn't feel embarrassed, after all, she wasn't a rookie who just graduated.I have never been rejected by a customer, and I am ashamed to say that I have run through the market.
"Qizheng, do you think we are looking for the wrong starting point? Why do these parents seem not interested at all."
Qizheng took a sip of the hot soup, and the tip of her tongue was slightly numb.
"I think they are actually interested, but they are more cautious, so I will not express my position for the time being."
"That's right. If you're not interested at all, you don't even want to listen to it." Li Yunshan recalled her recent contact with parents, and some parents even asked a lot of questions.
"They're just prolonging the buying decision process, but I think there's hope."
Qi Zheng didn't speak impassionedly, not even the slightest high-pitched tone.But she said so quietly, which also made Li Yunshan feel at ease.
"The BP homework is almost done, and then we just have to wait for the official graduation next month. If we haven't got the money by then, are you going to go to Neil?"
After three rounds of interviews, Neil Consulting sent Qizheng an offer.Although it is not a management-level position, it is a very rare opportunity for Chinese students who have just graduated.
"This is the last option, we still have a month to go."
In addition to the Lemon Fund and the School Innovation Competition, Qizheng did not give up on looking for opportunities to get support.She finally understands what it means to race against time in order to seize a business opportunity, even if there is no shadow of that so-called business opportunity, but it becomes a whip that motivates you to keep working hard.
As the graduation time draws closer, more and more parents are interested in their business.Li Yunshan pulled these potential customers into different WeChat groups, and divided them into groups according to the possibility of conversion.
"Qizheng, we have to start as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to satisfy the first batch of customers."
There are indeed a few parents who are willing to try new things and are not too sensitive to prices, willing to try the one-month "accompanying integration service".But in the United States, you need money for everything, and no matter how good your relationship is, you still have to settle accounts when it is time to settle accounts.
Without money, it is difficult to move an inch, not to mention some expenses have to be paid in advance.
The Lemon Fund finally sent an email, informing Qizheng that his project had been approved and that he could get 50 US dollars in entrepreneurial support, but some terms needed to be added.The school innovation jury also came out with the results, and it was almost as expected, the third prize—[-] U.S. dollars.
Li Yunshan was still furious: "I will tell myself a hundred times now, don't be angry."
Qizheng held two notices, but was not very happy.
"Which one are you going to choose?"
Between 50 and [-], most people will choose Lemon Fund without hesitation.After all, in the early days of entrepreneurship, no one can predict the follow-up development.A little more start-up capital can ensure that the project will live longer.
Only by surviving can there be hope for a comeback.
"I think the Lemon Fund needs more management rights."
In general, angel round seed funds are mostly because they are optimistic about the potential of the project or the ability of the entrepreneur, and are not in a hurry to obtain returns in the short term.And in this round of investment, few companies will emphasize management rights.
"It's a bit strange. At present, the company is just the two of us. Lemon wants to share half of the management rights. Is it because he wants to share the hard work for us?"
Seeing that Qi Zheng was so cautious, Li Yunshan didn't urge her to make a quick decision.
**
Of course Shen Zhibing also received the news, Yunfei was waiting for her instructions.
"Mr. Shen, if we don't make a move, Xiao Qi will probably sign a contract with the Lemon Fund. At that time, there will be more contract constraints, which will be more troublesome."
Shen Zhibing was not in a hurry to make Yunfei act, to be exact, she didn't seem worried this time, she wasn't worried about Qizheng's decision at all.
"Wait a little longer, I want to see Qizheng's choice."
"Most people find it hard to resist the comparison between $50 and $[-], especially in the early stages of a business."
At the beginning of starting a business, money was more important than anything else.
"Most people are, but I want to see how different she is."
Shen Zhibing was not [-]% sure, but she felt that Qizheng would not disappoint her.She also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Qi Zheng's business sense and judgment had improved after finishing her MBA.
Yunfei understands Mr. Shen's intentions, but she is still worried about Qizheng after all.
"Xiaoqi's first venture, and Lin Muyun is planning to play this trick again. I'm afraid she will fall into a passive position if it's too late."
"Lin Muyun just wants to get the management rights of the project through the seed round, and when the company needs to continue to invest in the official operation of the company, she will ask for a second round of financing. If Qizheng can't do it, get back the investment and just drain it."
Shen Zhibing had a cold face, he had already seen through Lin Muyun's tricks.
"This is too cruel for a young man who is just starting out." Yun Fei also knows that this kind of bad move in the mall happens every year, but it still makes people feel distressed when it falls on Qi Zheng.
"I won't let Qizheng suffer this, but I believe she has the ability to judge."
It's not that Yunfei has no confidence in Qizheng, but the situation is special: "Now she is graduating soon and lacks start-up funds, and the money on both sides is waiting for her to reply as soon as possible. I am afraid that she will make a hasty decision under pressure and is prone to make mistakes."
Shen Zhibing remained calm: "If she really chooses the wrong one, you can just eat the Lemon Fund for me."
Yun Fei was startled, then smiled and said, "I understand."
Knowing that Mr. Shen has already made a perfect plan, Yun Fei is not as anxious as before.Although she felt sorry to learn that Qizheng intended to leave the Shen family, she also hoped that she would have a better development.
**
Qizheng is under great pressure every day, forcing her to make a decision as soon as possible.In the eyes of many people, the answer that could be chosen so easily became hesitant to Qi Zheng.
She leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. There were several cups of coffee on the table, and she was busy for another afternoon.The Lemon Fund changed from being flat before, and came to inquire every now and then. It seemed that she would give the money to other projects if she didn't decide.
Qizheng suddenly remembered what Shen Zhibing had said to her a long time ago, telling her to learn how to use resources.Now she is not only short of money, but also lacks some experience in shopping malls.
Experience, Qizheng immediately thought of Boss Zhuang.
Through Zhuang Muqing's arrangement, Qizheng met Boss Zhuang who was recuperating in New York.
"Last time I heard Mr. Shen say that you were studying at University B. I didn't expect to graduate in a blink of an eye. Time flies."
Boss Zhuang, who no longer worries about business, looks better than before, but he still looks sick, which is different from normal people.
"Thank you, Boss Zhuang and Ah Moon, for taking care of me during this time. I have never had the chance to thank you in person."
"At the beginning, I thought you had potential, and thanks to Mr. Shen, you didn't bury you. It's just that I didn't expect to start a business so soon after finishing my studies. Not bad."
After hearing Qizheng's intention and asking for advice, Boss Zhuang didn't make a decision for her.
"The shopping mall is always changing rapidly, and the characteristics of each market and even each period are different. My experience is nothing more than stumbles in the past, which cannot help your future, but can only help you avoid known pits."
Qizheng didn't expect that Boss Zhuang would not be arrogant, and she benefited a lot.
"How to choose is up to you. But you must always remember that what you must never lose, you should always hold on firmly."
Qizheng seemed to understand a little bit, but didn't make a decision right away.
That night, Qizheng thought about it and called Shen Zhibing again.
She knows these powerful people in the business world, so she has the opportunity to gain valuable experience and unique insights that cannot be measured by money.
Those who can achieve these achievements have their own abilities and views that are different from ordinary people.
Shen Zhibing obviously didn't expect Qizheng to take the initiative to find her, and there were obvious ups and downs in his voice: "I'm glad you took the initiative to ask my opinion."
"I also asked Boss Zhuang for his opinion, and he told me to stick to my original intention."
After listening to Qi Zheng's narration and the most difficult point to make a decision, Shen Zhibing, like Boss Zhuang, did not give a clear answer.
"This career is your own, and all major decisions should be made by you. The opinions of others are just for reference, and I agree with Boss Zhuang. You have to choose the plan that is conducive to maintaining yourself."
Shen Zhibing could actually tell her clearly about the conspiracy between Lemon Fund and Lin Muyun, but she held back.
She knew that Qizheng wanted to get rid of Shen Shi and get rid of her help, and she didn't want to add constraints to her wings when she was taking off.
"Although my company is still there, I don't want to lose control." Before ending the call, Qizheng chuckled a few times.
It seems that a decision has been made.
When she first heard about Qizheng's business plan at the top of the mountain, she wanted to remind her to reconsider the target customer group.She didn't expect Qizheng to realize it so quickly and correct it, which gave her more confidence in Qizheng's ability.
Lin Muyun didn't go anywhere tonight, waiting for a call from the United States.Today is the deadline for the Lemon Fund to give Qizheng a reply. She has checked with someone, and it is clear that the only ones who can provide Qizheng with start-up capital are the $[-] from B University except for Lemon.
50 and [-] are very different for start-ups.
She had a bottle of wine by her hand, and was already waiting for Qi Zheng to take the bait.
After the appointed time, but still did not receive a call from the United States, Lin Muyun picked up the phone and checked it several times.
Finally, Amy's call came, but it was not the congratulations she expected.
"What did you say? Qi Zheng refused?"
Amy also just received the notification from Brown, she was in a daze, and only called Lin Muyun after reconfirming.
After listening to the explanation, Lin Muyun's face darkened completely: "This Brown is too useless. I spent so much time and thought on planning, but in the end Qizheng ran away. If the amount is not attractive enough, you can ask me to add more money." !"
Amy was also powerless on the other end of the phone: "It's not about the money, the problem is that Qizheng doesn't play cards according to common sense at all. It's not that she thinks the money is low, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted the [-] from University B."
This made Lin Muyun even angrier. If she didn't want 50, she would be compared with only [-]. This tone was even harder to swallow.
"Then let her taste the pain of not having money!"
