I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 251 Angel Investment!

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Ding from Netease wants to chat with you."

Just as Lin Xiaocai walked back to his seat, Brother Xiao Ma, who had just slipped around, came back at this time. Beside him, Ding Lei from Netease was still standing.

Lin Xiao is quite familiar with the history of the fortunes of China's Internet industry leaders, and knows that Xiao Ma and Ding Lei have actually known each other a long time ago.

At that time, the Internet in China had not yet started, and everyone just built personal websites on Huiduo.com, and Xiao Mage and Ding Lei were both relatively active website owners who built their websites earlier.

Around 1995, the two met as netizens.

They are also interested in the Internet, and they were both born in 1971 and October. After the face-to-face interview, they developed from netizens to friends.

Two years later, Ding Lei registered with NetEase and developed the first free Chinese e-mail system. Ding Lei sold each set at a price of 10 yuan, and soon became a famous millionaire.

In a sense, Xiao Ma was greatly stimulated by Ding Lei when he founded Teng Xun.

So at this moment, Lin Xiao was not surprised that Ding Lei and Xiao Ma were standing together.

"President Ding, please sit down."

Lin Xiao greeted Ding Lei and sat down at the table.

At present, China's four major portals, CDC, Sina, Sohu, Netease, Netease is ranked last.

And judging from the development situation in the next year or two, NetEase is indeed the worst.

Needless to say, the stock price of CDC has been soaring all the way.

When Sina went public, just when the Nasdaq had just started to fall, the impact was not particularly great, so although it was not satisfactory after the listing, it was barely passable.

In the previous life, NetEase was listed on July 2000, the first day of the second half of 7, but it fell by more than 1% on the day of listing.After that, it went down all the way. In 20, the stock price was close to 2001 million yuan per share, and it was almost delisted.

However, Lin Xiao also knew that among the four portals, it was NetEase that later successfully transformed the game and entertainment industry and became the one with the best development.

Lin Xiao didn't expect that Ding Lei would come to chat with him at this time.

"Mr. Lin, I think your speech just now has a very unique and rational point of view. Now that the situation is so good, is the risk of Nasdaq really so high?" Ding Lei sat down and said Lin Xiao asked.

Hearing Ding Lei's serious question, Lin Xiao nodded immediately, "Yes!"

"I've already said the reason. If Mr. Ding is planning to go public on Nasdaq, I suggest you prepare well."

Lin Xiao didn't directly persuade Ding Lei not to go public. After all, Internet companies are rushing to go public these days, and he couldn't persuade him if he really wanted to.

"So this is why you are not planning to go public, Mr. Lin?"

Ding Lei continued to ask at this time. Up to now, Eternal Network has not even introduced venture capital, and there is no sign of wanting to go public at all, so he will ask this question at this time.

Lin Xiao smiled after hearing this, and replied: "That's not true, it's mainly because I am now, and I don't want to make money by going public."

Listening to Lin Xiao's words, Ding Lei felt a little envious when he thought of the profits of Eternal Network.

After being silent for a few seconds, he smiled again and said, "Boss Lin, you still have the confidence. NetEase still needs to rely on listing financing to support subsequent development."

"So, NetEase will still prepare to go public. After all, the company's current work is also around this goal."

After Lin Xiao finished, he smiled and said, "Actually, if Mr. Ding is short of funds, I'd be quite interested in investing in Netease."

"Thank you Mr. Lin, NetEase is not short of funds for the time being, and the company's current equity structure is relatively complete, and it is preparing to go public, so there is no plan to introduce new shareholders for the time being."

As he said that, Ding Lei jokingly said to Lin Xiao again: "If the time comes, NetEase really does not perform well after listing, maybe I have to ask Mr. Lin to save the day."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, but he couldn't tell Ding Lei that this matter was really very likely to happen.

Several people immediately chatted about other things. At this time, Lin Xiao probably understood Ding Lei's purpose. The other party believed what he said just now, but not completely.

So I came to talk to myself at this time, because I was worried that there would be some surprises when NetEase really went public, and to see if I could find any way from myself.

It seems that after what I said just now, it is not that no one understands.

The three chatted for a while, Ding Lei got up and walked away because someone was looking for him.

Brother Xiao Ma also walked away at this time and went to find someone else.

Lin Xiao had just sent Ding Lei away when two more people approached him, one of whom was Liang Jianzhang, the founder of Ctrip.

As soon as they met, Liang Jianzhang said directly: "Mr. Lin, hello, I'm Liang Jianzhang from Ctrip. This is my entrepreneurial partner Shen Nanpeng. We want to talk to you about investment."

After hearing Liang Jianzhang's words, Lin Xiao was a little surprised, because he made a statement about the coming of winter, obviously not many people recognized him at the scene.

He was rejected by Ma Yun just now. Originally, Lin Xiao was already prepared to have no harvest today, but he did not expect that Ctrip would take the initiative to find him at this time.

Could it be that today you can really bring something back home?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao smiled and said to the two people from Ctrip: "Okay, I just happen to be interested in Ctrip, Mr. Liang and Mr. Shen, please sit down."

The two sat down, and it was still Liang Jianzhang who spoke, and he said to Lin Xiao:

"Mr. Lin, let me briefly introduce us first. The type of website has been introduced just now. It is a website that mainly focuses on tourism. We have four founders."

As he spoke, Liang Jianzhang pointed to Shen Nanpeng and said, "Nanpeng was the president of Deutsche Bank's Asia Pacific region before, and he was good at capital operations."

"Before that, I was the consulting director of Oracle Huaxia District. We also had two founders. One had opened a technology company in Pearl and was quite skilled in technology; the other was the general manager of Pearl Travel Agency before. Familiar with the tourism industry."

After Liang Jianzhang finished speaking, Lin Xiao was a little surprised and said, "Your entrepreneurial team is very mature, and there are people from different professional backgrounds."

This time, it was Shen Nanpeng who spoke, and he took over the words: "So, we are still very confident in the future development of our website."

He finished speaking with a smile, and then said to Lin Xiao: "However, Mr. Lin, your speech today did remind us that I have dealt with the capital market a lot before, so I am concerned about the irrational surge of Nasdaq. I've heard some voices."

"In general, we agree with Mr. Lin's speech just now." Shen Nanpeng continued.

"So we thought, if you come to Mr. Lin for investment, based on Mr. Lin's understanding and judgment of this industry, you should have a more comprehensive evaluation of our website."

Shen Nanpeng's words are indeed true. Their website has only been online for about a month, and the funds invested are basically the money the founders made before.

Because the time is too short, it is not so easy to get venture capital money.

Today they came to attend this industry conference. The two founders came here hoping to have more exchanges with people in the industry. On the other hand, they also heard that China.com is interested in investing in small websites, and they are going to try to see if they can get investment.

However, after listening to Lin Xiao's speech, Shen Nanpeng immediately proposed to Liang Jianzhang to find Lin Xiao for investment, so there was such a scene where he directly approached Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded after listening to Shen Nanpeng's words, and then asked directly to the other party: "How much investment do you want?"

"50 yuan." Shen Nanpeng said.

Lin Xiao remained calm after hearing this. 50 yuan is really not much to him.

So, he turned to ask: "Then how many shares are you willing to sell for this?"

"This is our angel round investment, so we are willing to take 10% of the shares." Shen Nanpeng replied.

Lin Xiao smiled after listening, and said to Shen Nanpeng: "You are playing abroad. In the Chinese Internet industry, there is no investor who only takes 10% of the shares in the first round."

"30% of the shares, let's make a price."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Shen Nanpeng immediately shook his head and said, "Boss Lin, this is impossible. I know that many Internet companies in China have offered high stakes in the first round, but that's because they don't know how to operate capital."

"Didn't you just say that some people sell too many shares is a very short-sighted behavior?" Shen Nanpeng said with a smile.

"So, I still hope to divide into several more rounds of financing, and then the dilution of shares each time will not be too large."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart after listening to it. It's not unreasonable for Ctrip to go farther than many Internet companies present today.

There are very few companies in the Huaxia Internet industry who have a mature, professional, and rational team like them in the early days of their business.

Xiaomi's Mr. Lei said a word later, saying that standing on the wind, pigs can fly.

However, in fact, there are many pigs standing on the wind, and those who can really fly are those pigs that can grasp the direction of the wind and control their weight.

However, emotion belongs to emotion, what should be fought for still has to be fought for.

Therefore, Lin Xiao said directly to Shen Nanpeng: "Give me a final quotation. 10% of the shares are too small. After several rounds of dilution, there are not many shares left."

Shen Nanpeng looked at Liang Jianzhang, who gave him a look, which probably meant to let Shen Nanpeng make up his own mind.

So, Shen Nanpeng pondered for a while, and then said again: "We can sell up to 20% of the shares, but the cost is 120 million yuan."

Although Shen Nanpeng's offer cost an additional 20 yuan in investment compared with the offer just now, but for Lin Xiao, he didn't care about the money if he could get 10% more shares.

So, Lin Xiao agreed without hesitation.

"make a deal!"

Ctrip, later generations are also companies with more than 1000 billion yuan. This small amount of money is lost, but earned!
Hearing that Lin Xiao didn't bargain any more, but agreed directly, Shen Nanpeng also heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Internet companies are also hot in China, the entrepreneurial environment is not as good as Silicon Valley. It is difficult for Huaxia Internet companies to raise angel rounds. Even if they are successful, they basically give a relatively large proportion of shares.

After all, there is an investment mechanism for angel investors in Silicon Valley. They will invest in many start-ups. Although many companies die in the end, if one or two succeed, they will earn back.

And investing in start-ups in China these days, especially investing in the Internet, is entirely based on luck, because there are not many companies invested by angel investors, and in addition, Huaxia Internet started later than the United States, so investors often have to compare More shares to ensure their final income.

So at this time, it is completely acceptable for Ctrip to only sell 20% of the shares.

But Shen Nanpeng didn't know that other people's angel investments were all based on luck.

As for Lin Xiao's angel investment, it's all...see the result!

People are different from each other.
