Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 689 689. Venture Capital
Sporadic dog barking came from outside the window, the orange light from the desk lamp warmly filled the table, the parrot seemed to be asleep in the cage, there was no sound at all, and the room was quiet.

Dong Qiangqiang sat in front of the computer, with Duanmu's evening words in his mind.

"The content you can see is only what others want you to see, and it does not mean that it can completely reflect the whole content. You have to analyze more hidden information by yourself."

It was the first time he heard such an opinion full of philosophical speculation, especially when he sat down to savor it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was full of wisdom.

"As for the relationship you mentioned between the Fed's interest rate cut and the stock market recovery, that is already a cliché and everyone knows it, but if you can connect short-term rebound, long-term bearishness and our investment products, I think you still have potential. You also said just now that the listed companies that have had troubles in the past two years basically have financial problems. In fact, the U.S. Federal Audit Office issued a research report in October last year, which you can find online. However, the number of U.S. listed companies that re-audited their financial reports rose from 10 in 1997 to 81 in 2000, and there is an increasing trend year by year. More than half of the companies. When the report was released, the scandals of giant companies such as Enron and WorldCom hadn’t been known to the world. The company’s accidents have never stopped. I’m afraid that there will be more companies with financial storms in 143. The market conditions are very favorable to us now. The new computer that was given to you and the set of programs you asked someone to develop should not be just decorations, but should really play their original role. I believe that once you are serious, you will definitely find clues." Maybe I think I said before It was a bit heavy, but before hanging up the phone, Duanmu's tone softened a lot.

"Clues, clues..." Dong Qiangqiang looked at the flickering computer screen and murmured, "Then let me see what the research report of the US Federal Audit Office said..."

At midnight, Lao Bai walked from the first floor to the third floor with two bottles of beer in one hand and a plate of fried peanuts in the other.After gently pushing open the door of Dong Qiangqiang's room, he saw that Dong Qiangqiang was concentrating on reading the article on the computer screen, and he didn't notice that Lao Bai was watching him at the door.

Lao Bai originally planned to have a drink with him, and talk about business and the website by the way, seeing him like this, his mouth that was originally opened gradually closed again.After a while, he gently put the peanuts in his hand on the low cabinet by the door, and quietly closed the door.

The meeting address Duanmu gave Dong Qiangqiang was not far from the Hamburg train station, and Dong Qiangqiang could easily get a taxi after leaving the train station.

Dong Qiangqiang was a little uneasy because he missed the math class in the third and fourth quarters in the morning.I called Qu Shan in the car, knowing that the teacher didn't take the roll call, so I felt relieved.

The car sped on the wide street and arrived at its destination in less than 15 minutes.Dong Qiangqiang thought that Duanmu and he would meet investors in an office building, but after getting off the taxi, he found that the address Duanmu gave was actually a coffee shop.

As soon as he ordered a cup of latte, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw Duanmu in a dark suit hastily pushed the door and walked in.

Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly signaled to the waiter to order two cups instead, and at this moment Duanmu had already sat beside him.

"I found a few more companies that I think are problematic, and the list was sent to you yesterday." After Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, he realized that his palms were sweating, and his throat felt like smoke.

Duanmu nodded but didn't answer, Dong Qiangqiang became more nervous now, but he was not nervous because he was worried that he would not be a shareholder of Duanmu Company, but because he didn't want to be underestimated by Duanmu. "What do you think?"

"The list will be discussed later, let's talk about the meeting (with investors) first." Duanmu seemed anxious.

The waiter politely left after putting two cups of steaming coffee in front of the two of them.

"I'll see two (investment institutions) in a while," Duanmu quickly stirred up the leaf-patterned coffee, and said impatiently while looking around, "One is Tom Wilson, the investment vice president of Rising Venture Capital, and the other is Black Castle Capital The investment director, Anderson or something, I don’t remember the last name.”

Ever since he started to cooperate with Duanmu in financing, Dong Qiangqiang has consciously learned about financing.He knows that venture capital is the abbreviation of venture capital company, which generally refers to venture capital institutions that specialize in investing in early-stage companies, and early-stage companies are divided into two different forms.The first is a seed-stage company. At this time, the financier may not even have a physical company, but only an idea with a good vision. There is neither a team nor a business model, nor income and profit. It is absolutely empty handed.Or the financier has just registered a new company, but the company still has no team, no business model and no income, just like Duanmu’s Cicada Company (at least it has a team).The second type is the angel stage company. At this time, the financier not only has his own company, but also the first generation of the company’s products may have been launched, the business model has begun to take shape, and the company may even have sporadic customers and revenue.Generally speaking, the financing amount of the seed stage company is between 10 and 50 US dollars, and the financing amount of the angel stage is more than that of the seed stage, generally fluctuating around 100 million US dollars.However, most of the institutions dubbed "XX Capital" are private equity funds that invest in mature companies in the middle and late stages. Mature companies usually have well-established management teams, mature business models, rich product lines, stable income and profits, and need more liquidity. To accelerate the rapid development of enterprises, the financing amount is possible from millions to billions (any currency symbol is applicable).

"Then I'll say it first this time?" Dong Qiangqiang recalled the last road show.

"No, this time I say, you listen." Duanmu finally stopped stirring the coffee with a spoon, and the spoon was thrown into the saucer under the coffee cup with a crisp sound.

"I can understand that you're looking for venture capital," Dong Qiangqiang asked suspiciously, "but does a foundation like Blacksburg Capital invest in early-stage companies like ours? Isn't it investing in mature companies?"

"I don't know," Duanmu frowned, took a sip of coffee and put it down in disgust, "Heibao took the initiative to find me, not me."

Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to ask again, his mobile phone made a melodious note, and when he looked down, it was Hans' call.

"Hey, Dong Qiangqiang, I have already inquired about joining the shooting club that you asked me to ask last time." Hans spoke quickly.When Dong Qiangqiang asked him to understand the situation before, he was afraid that he would not be interested, so he specially gave him 30 euros as a favor fee, but he didn't expect him to ask back so soon.

"How to say?" Dong Qiangqiang glanced at Duanmu, he noticed that Duanmu had been in a state of anxiety since he came in, which was a bit abnormal.

"You can join the club, but you have to attend training first, and then pass a special test to get the corresponding certificate, just like you get a driver's license, but I think it shouldn't be difficult for you."

"Thank you, Hans, I see. I'm sorry I still have something to do, I'll contact you later." Dong Qiangqiang hung up the phone politely.

"I have something unexpected to tell you..." Duanmu seemed to have finally made up his mind.

Before he finished speaking, a tall European man in a well-fitting suit strode into the cafe.
