Chapter 251 The Game of Capital
Chapter 251 The Game of Capital
Luo Xiu and Rebs talked for a long time in the room.
Compared with the old horse, Rebus seemed not so good at words.
Luo Xiu didn't chat with him either, they were all talking about future technology and the trend of mobile phones.
The two talked very happily, and many views and opinions coincided with each other.
The difference is that they really have insights into the future, while Luo Xiu is someone who came back from the future.
At the end of the conversation, Rebus personally sent Luoxiu out.
Seeing this scene, the female employees proudly said to the male employees: "Have you seen how polite Mr. Lei is to him? It seems that there is no problem with the interview."
"You always say that technical people don't have time to manage their personal image, why do others have time?"
"You're just making excuses for your laziness."
The male employee heard this, and said unconvinced: "You really don't understand Mr. Lei. He sent people out of the house himself, which only shows that he doesn't regard the other party as his own."
"Yes, he has not been so polite to us."
"How about we make a bet? The loser is invited to eat."
"Betting, betting, who is afraid of who!"
……
Luo Xiu didn't know that he had become someone else's bet.
What made him uneasy was that when he just went out, he met another person walking in head-on.
If I remember correctly, he is Mr. Liu of Morningside Capital.
I didn't expect that I would contact Rebs so early, but I still couldn't cut off the beard in advance.
In fact, Rebs had already succeeded in two ventures before founding Xiaomi. He was rich in assets and was also a venture capitalist. He didn't need to get financing so early.
Later, when he returned to his alma mater to give a speech, he told the inside story.
He originally told his employees that he paid all the money for running Xiaomi.But one of their co-founders said that if you spend all your money, we will be under pressure.
So Rebs said okay, I'll go raise money.
The co-founder was right. Spending your own money to start a business feels different from spending someone else's money.
At that time, for the first financing, Rebs found a fund that knew him well, flew to Shanghai in person, and sat in the other party's office for two hours.
During those two hours, he was asked countless questions, which made his clothes drenched in sweat.
In the end, Rebs replied, "You are just asking me how to prove that I can do a good job in hardware before I have done it. Who knows?"
From this speech, Luoxiu knew that Rebs had suffered setbacks in the initial financing process.
It was only later that he found Mr. Liu of Morningside Capital, and received an investment of 500 million US dollars, and also sold 20% of the original equity.
After multiple financings in the future, this equity will be diluted to less than 10%, and it still has a market value of 50 billion US dollars, with a return on investment of 1000 times.
Luoxiu knew the purpose of Rebus seeking financing, so the whole morning chat with him was about dreams.
Because the founder of the company is very worried that his company will eventually be kidnapped by capital, and finally under the pressure of capital, he has to go against the original intention of starting a business.
Luo Xiu brought him a copy of "Silicon Valley Fire" and talked to him about the spirit of Silicon Valley, just to show that we are the same kind of people. I invest in your company not to change you, but to develop together in the same direction. force.
Everything was going well at first, and the conversation between the two was very pleasant, but now the sudden appearance of Morningside Capital made Luo Xiu's heart hang again.
In the original history, Morningside had only one idea in the early days of Xiaomi and didn't even have a plan. When it didn't even have a plan, it directly invested 500 million US dollars.
Luo Xiu's efforts in the first meeting in the morning can only be equal to that of Chen Xing at best.
If you want to invest this sum of money, you must come up with other favorable conditions.
At noon, Luo Xiu ate something casually, and went back to the hotel to think about his own advantages.
The first thing he thought of was his future father-in-law.
As a giant in the real estate industry, his future father-in-law has a strong political, business and capital relationship network, but Rebs himself is not lacking in these things.
Moreover, the source of funds behind Morningside Capital is also a real estate giant.
The two sides drew again.
Just when Luo Xiu was at his wit's end, the phone rang suddenly, it was a call from a stranger.
Since he registered his own company, he has received a large number of calls from strangers every day.
Most of them are asking whether your business should invest in Baidu advertisements, whether to register trademarks on behalf of you, whether to need capital turnover...
When Luo Xiu sees an incoming call that is not in the address book, he usually presses it down a few times first. If the other party continues to call, it means there may be something really important, so he will answer the call.
"Hello!"
"Hello, guess who I am?"
"I guess you are a liar." Luo Xiu hung up the phone immediately after finishing speaking.
Then he remembered that this voice was indeed a little familiar, like the girl who borrowed clothes at the airport, but how could she have my phone number?
At this time the phone rang again, and when Luo Xiu connected, the other party said angrily, "Okay, Luo Xiu, what did I lie to you?"
Jiang Shuyue thought to herself, even if I wanted to lie to you, you didn't give me a chance.
"You are Miss Jiang, I'm sorry, your opening remarks are too similar to those scam calls."
"Okay, I forgive you." Jiang Shuyue didn't worry too much about being hung up on the phone.
"By the way, why did you have my call?"
"I saw it on the visitor registration. I want to treat you to a meal as a thank you for lending me clothes."
Of course, she also wanted to know the result of Luo Xiu's "interview".
"okay!"
Luo Xiu wanted to refuse at first, but thought that after all, she was someone inside Xiaomi, or she could provide him with some help, so he agreed without hesitation.
Nine p.m.
Luo Xiu came to the western restaurant where they met, and found a seat to sit down.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Shuyue arrived as scheduled.
Compared with the daytime, she should have gone home and washed her hair, changed her outfit, and put on light makeup.
In her words, the group of technical men in the company are not worthy of her getting up half an hour early every day to put on makeup.
"I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, did you wait for a long time?" Jiang Shuyue said apologetically.
"I just arrived too, please take a seat."
As soon as Jiang Shuyue sat down, Luo Xiu smelled the familiar perfume on her body, which was exactly the same as the smell of his coat.
"By the way, how did you talk with Mr. Lei this morning?" Jiang Shuyue asked urgently.
After all, it was related to a bet with those male colleagues, and she also hoped that a handsome guy could come into the company.
Even if this handsome guy already has a girlfriend, there is a high probability that he won't get one, but it's good to put it there to make him look good.
"We had a pleasant chat, and the only worry is that Lei always has a better choice."
Luo Xiu answered truthfully.
"Our President Lei has really high requirements for talents. We have to interview several people for each position, and select the best from the best, but I believe you will definitely be able to come in."
"Thank you!"
Luo Xiu raised the lemonade in his hand and clinked a glass with her, "Actually, I don't know much about your company, I only know that you are going to make a mobile phone, can you tell me how far it has progressed?"
"It's just started, and we are quite confused now. Even if the mobile phone is made, we don't know if it can be sold or how to sell it. We don't have a good channel?"
"Don't know how to sell it?"
Luo Xiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt that he had caught something.
