Yanzi Valley of Jingcheng

Chapter 137 What is the Background

"Since this brand has signed an exclusive contract with you and sold it on other websites, it is a breach of contract. Just sue according to the normal law, and its products will be removed from the shelves forever."

Xiao Jie, who was standing in the square in front of Baihe Bookstore, said into the phone.

Autumn and winter in Qingyang are short, but the coolness is strong. Xiao Jie still wears short sleeves. He does not know when he felt that his body was no longer sensitive to changes in the outside temperature.

"But their products are selling very well. If they are taken off the shelves, we will lose millions of profits a year."

Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Jie was silent for a while before saying: "Mr. Wu, believe me, a brand that does not keep promises will not last long, and the profits it can bring are also short-term. If you let go this time Water, after that, other brands that signed exclusive contracts with you will follow suit, sign exclusive contracts with you and then secretly buy them on other platforms, making money on both ends, will you pursue responsibility or not? How should the business order be maintained?"

"...But do I have to sue? The litigation period is so long, and I'm afraid that if I really get involved in a lawsuit, the other party will tear up his face and go to another platform. Although a few million is not much, it is still money. Our platform is not yet profitable. Cash The flow is tight..."

Seeing the other party's embarrassed look, Xiao Jie said, "It doesn't matter if you don't get involved in a lawsuit. You can now notify the brand to remove the product from all other platforms within 48 hours. If they do this, it will be a warning this time." , if you can’t, you take all their products off the shelves and let them choose one of the two.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Xiao Jie sighed, "Mr. Wu, when I voted for you, I hoped that your platform could become the number one in the country. To be the number one, sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice some profits to keep the bottom line."

When Xiao Jie said this, he turned around inadvertently, and was surprised to find that Shu Qian was standing not far away looking at him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

For some reason, Xiao Jie subconsciously turned his body back, and after a few more instructions with the other end of the phone, he put down the phone.

When Xiao Jie turned around again, Shu Qian was still standing where she was. The evening breeze blew her long hair a little messy, but it was elegant and moving.

"I see that you are very busy at work, you keep calling one after another, and you are not reading every time you come to our place." Shu Qian said with a smile.

Xiao Jie was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he went back to the car and took out an exquisite gift bag, which contained the pink lunch box that Shu Qian had given him earlier.

Xiao Jie originally wanted to return the lunch box directly, but he felt that it would be a little pointless to just return a lunch box, so he bought a gift bag on the way to pack it.

When buying a gift bag, Xiao Jie also thought about buying a gift for Shu Qian, but he walked around the store and couldn't think of what to give Shu Qian.

If the gift is cheap, it will appear insincere, but if it is expensive, Xiao Jie doesn't know how Shu Qian will think about the meaning of this gift.

purchase?
Or not to buy?

Xiao Jie lingered in the mall for a long time with such contradictions, but in the end he didn't buy anything.

"It's quite cold outside. There is no one in the store today. You can come in and make a call." Shu Qian had already walked into the door of the bookstore and signaled Xiao Jie to go in. "Come in, I guess the phone will ring again later."

"Okay." Xiao Jie stepped in to follow, and at the same time turned off the phone directly while Shu Qian was not paying attention.

"Where did you buy this gift bag? Gift bags outside are very expensive now, yours is probably more expensive than my lunch box..." Shu Qian looked at the gift bag and said.

"It's extra at home." Xiao Jie answered casually, he really didn't know how to talk to women, especially if it had nothing to do with work.

If Shu Qian is a core member of a certain entrepreneurial project, Xiao Jie feels that he can talk to Shu Qian a lot about that project, and he will not feel that it is unnatural to talk to the other party, but now this unnaturalness is not only reflected in His face is also reflected in his limbs.

"Sit wherever you want!" Shu Qian walked towards the drink station with a gift bag.

Xiao Jie picked a table by the window, pulled out a chair and sat down. Life is very difficult for Xiao Jie now, every day he has to deal with chores such as the phone call just now, and he also has to worry about fund redemption.

Many companies in Hongfeng Jingshun No. 1 Fund closed their doors one after another because of the sudden drop in reputation of Wang Chao and others. Xiao Jie concluded that one of the characteristics of such companies is that their own business cannot withstand the current fierceness that is almost distorted. market competition.

Xiao Jie deduced that Wang Chao's main purpose of buying the equity of these companies was to diversify the investment targets of the fund, and get involved in various industries, such as buying a few Internet-type companies, buying a few consumer companies, and buying a few pharmaceutical companies. Buying belongs to resignation to fate after spending money. This type of company does not have enough bright spots in its own business, and no matter how much money is spent on it, it will not help.

Xiao Jie looked at the companies in Hongfeng Jingshun No. 1 Fund as if he looked at the fish in the pond. All kinds of messy small fish died when they died. Xiao Jie is not willing to sell big fish companies like Ye Taodu or the future Big Fish Miaozi Shanmao Cafe.

After this type of fish is fattened up, it is not just a big fish, but a monster that can swim into the sea. If Jinquan Investment Group withdraws now, after these two companies go public and become world-renowned brands, all peers will Laughing at Jin Quan's short-sightedness, the shipment was early.

Star companies themselves can not only bring rich returns to venture capital institutions, but also bring them reputation and prestige. As long as one is invested in and held until the later stage, it will become a very classic investment case.

Both Ye Taodu and Shanmao Cafe have the potential to become such star companies. As long as Xiao Jie is willing to change hands, there will be many takers in the market.

It's a pity that Xiao Jie is unwilling, because he knows very well how important classic investment cases are to a professional investor's personal resume.

The book profit of Hongfeng Jingshun No. 1 Fund is very ugly at present. It is as ugly as more and more dead fish bellies appearing on the water. If there is no way to save it, the stench will spread in the pool.

"It will be paid in less than a year..."

Xiao Jie has to find a way to invest in some projects that can make quick money, and it is best to withdraw within a year.

For example, if you invest in January, you will be able to find the next growth company to take over in September. The business prospect of this kind of company itself seems to be very good, but it is very uncertain, just like the previous shared bicycles. Business is very suitable for storytelling. As long as the story is told well, it will not worry about changing hands quickly within a year.

At present, in order to improve the financial situation of Hongfeng Invesco Fund No. 1, Xiao Jie can only adopt such an investment strategy, but this fundamentally violates his past long-term value investment style, and also violates his professionalism and conscience The concept that investors grow together with the company.

Do you really want to do this?

Xiao Jie's heart is extremely heavy, there is less than a year and a half left...

These days, Xiao Jie would think about this matter whenever he stopped working. Since he took office as the president of Qingyang Branch of Jinquan Group, the troubles caused by this fund have never stopped, just like Xiao Qianxing and Xiao Jie. In the chat dialog box of Xiao Jie, from time to time Xiao Qianxing sent a message in disguise urging Xiao Jie to fall in love and get married:

"The son of Mr. Huang, your junior high school teacher, is married. This is his daughter. She is three months old. Isn't she cute?" [3 pictures attached]

"Guess what, I saw Xiao Ran being sent back by a male classmate today, ouch, the child is now in love in the third year of junior high!" [Xiao Ran, full name Xiao Ran, is the daughter of Third Aunt Xiao Jie]

"Guan Sha gave me the price trend chart of your Qingyang Bay in the past 8 years." [1 photo attached]

In addition, Xiao Qianxing will also forward various news about the aging of the Chinese population to Xiao Jie.

Wanting to put an end to such information as Xiao Qianxing, Xiao Jie has only two choices:

First, get married and have children as soon as possible;
Second, blacklist Xiao Qianxing.

Since she is a real mother, it is impossible to blacklist her. Even if WeChat is blocked, life cannot be blocked.

Xiao Jie has always thought about getting married and having children, but he has never had time to think about it carefully.

Some people talk together, eat breakfast together, watch movies together, and share the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of life together, which may be another special life.

If a person has to experience love and marriage in his life, who is the right person?Is it Shu Qian, the drink station waiter who works in the study?

Just as Xiao Jie lowered his head and fell into deep thought, two simple white porcelain cups appeared in front of him.

"Jasmine green tea, very light, the caffeine content won't keep you awake at night, do you have time to chat?"

"Oh, yes." Xiao Jie took a sip of the teacup with a stiff hand, without looking up at Shu Qian.

"Is it convenient to ask what kind of work you do?" Shu Qian asked.

"Venture investment." Xiao Jie replied.

"No wonder you are so busy..." Shu Qian said.

Xiao Jie was a little surprised, "Do you know this industry?"

Shu Qian nodded, "I know a little bit, do you look at projects every day in your job, and eight of the ten projects you look at are unreliable, and one of the remaining two projects you You need to give it a lot of support to make it hopeful and reliable, and there is another one that is reliable if you don’t give it support, but the price is so expensive that you don’t want to buy it, and even if you want to buy it, it’s hard to buy it.”

Seeing Xiao Jie's eyes startled, Shu Qian continued, "Many investors are chasing the trend, and companies on the trend can get a lot of money, which leads to more entrepreneurs chasing the trend, but the trend is uncertain. , so what you investors think about every day is how to be agile when the wind blows, so that you can firmly grasp it, but at the same time, you have to maintain a long-term stability of your investment style.”

Xiao Jie saw that Shu Qian remained silent, and had to say that what Shu Qian said just now was far beyond Xiao Jie's expectations.

Xiao Jie always thought that Shu Qian was the waiter at the beverage station of the bookstore, or even better, she was the owner of the bookstore, but even the owner of the bookstore, few people know so much about the venture capital industry.

Xiao Jie tried to hide his curiosity about Shu Qian's background, took Shu Qian's topic and talked about the current situation of the venture capital industry, Shu Qian also gave her personal thoughts at the right time, the more the chat continued, Xiao Jie The more I am impressed by this woman's knowledge reserve and thinking ability.

This woman named Shu Qian... What is the background?
