Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 369 Good words are hard to persuade a damn ghost
If Ma Liang wasn't a big boss of rebirth, if he didn't have the foresight, then the invitation from the Queen of Venture Capital would definitely be followed up.

Even if it's just for the sake of the world, it's not a big deal to invest 200 million US dollars.

Just like what the Queen of Venture Capital said just now, it’s better to buy a ticket first, and then the next round of financing will be easy to talk about.

Even if the founder of Tudou Wang is a pure scumbag, the listing of the website is blocked because of the divorce of the couple, it will only cause the return on investment to be lower than expected.

In any case, at least this investment will not lose money.

You must know that although the stock price of Tudou.com has been falling since its listing, it will still be acquired by Youku. All investment institutions still get two or three times the return.

Based on this alone, the Tudou game is enough to attract most new investors to participate.

After all, participating in this game means that you have established relationships with big capitals such as IDG, GGV, Kaixin Asia, Capital Today, Rockefeller Family Fund, and Temasek.

But who made Ma Liang an unappreciated batch, he didn't really need such resources for the time being.

Because this kind of resources will only be of great help in some entrepreneurial projects that burn a lot of money, but he can't afford that kind of project in a short time.

Besides, if the project really burns so much money, even if Ma Liang misses it in advance, the shares will be diluted to a very low ratio in the end.

This is inconsistent with his investment logic, who made [Gale Capital] have no money.

I don’t have enough funds at hand, so I can only choose high-tech investment strategies for the time being, and I can’t afford the capital game of “spreading the net and collecting more fish”.

The funds in his hand are far inferior to those of Chai Daguan, not to mention the venture capital queen.

Not to mention being compared with large capitals such as IDG, GGV, and Temasek.

Even though he knew that the other party invited him because of [Gale Capital]'s investment in Twitter's fame, he could only decline Xu Xin's kindness.

"Mr. Ma is joking!" Xu Xin smiled awkwardly, obviously not believing that he would be short of money.

Chai Jin was even more of a monkey spirit. He immediately realized something, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Ma, don't you think you are optimistic about this project?"

He knows his little brother very well, and his words and actions are definitely targeted.

When Chai Daguan asked, everyone present turned their attention to Ma Liang again.Especially Wang, the founder of Tudou.com, was obviously displeased.

Boss Wang is currently the most popular figure in the domestic venture capital circle. What kind of thing are you, dare to say that Tudou.com is not good?

Wang glared at Ma Liang fiercely, wanting to see what bad words he could utter.

"Brother Chai, you're worrying too much!" Ma Liang hurriedly explained, "I'm just a newcomer in the venture capital circle, how can I compare with you guys.

Since everyone is so optimistic about the future of Tudou, you can make a small fortune.

It's just that our [Gale Capital] has limited strength, and we have to invest in another project recently. Tudou.com can only express its deep regret. "

After his explanation, all the bosses present showed expressions of understanding.

After all, Zhang Suyang, Huang Yuhua, and Li Yongjin are all too familiar with what a small investment institution is.

If you want to get involved in everything, but you can't afford to vote, you will be stubborn.

Ma Liang is so self-aware that he finds an excuse to give up following the investment, but in the eyes of everyone, it is very sincere.

But there was one person at the scene who was not happy. The founder of Tudou Wang looked disdainful and sarcastically said: "Oh? Mr. Ma, what do you mean? Do you think that other project has more investment value than Tudou?"

As soon as these words came out, all the bosses present were shocked.

It's just that no one spoke out to persuade him, but looked at Ma Liang with interest again, wanting to see how he would respond.

"Hehe, Mr. Wang, don't take offense!
In my personal opinion, that's really the case. "Ma Liang replied unceremoniously, without saving any face for the other party.

People have stretched their faces in front of your hands in a mean way. If you don't slap this slap hard, you have something wrong with your brain.

As soon as Wang glared at him, he immediately became even more angry: "Then I want to listen to Mr. Ma's high opinion. How can our website be inferior to the project you mentioned?"

Tudou is currently the hottest entrepreneurial project, how can he stand this anger.

He thinks that his family background is ordinary, and he has worked so hard to get to this point, the arrogance in his heart is about to burst out.

At this moment, the king is so arrogant that he doesn't take Zhang Suyang, Huang Peihua, Li Yongjin and other capital bosses into his eyes.

From his point of view, these few people have achieved today's achievements only by relying on the shadow of their families.

It's not like he is a hardworking man who has passed through all the way from the bottom, from foreign company executives to entrepreneurial bosses, and only then has he made his way to Tudou.com.

If it weren't for being so arrogant, how could he have done the showy operation of getting his ex-wife to leave the house later.

It was because he was completely crazy that he felt that everything was under control.

As long as Tudou.com can be successfully listed, then Boss Wang is no less than Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu, Ding Sanshi of Netease, and even a business tycoon who beats up big and small horses.

Such an ambitious king, how could he bear Ma Liang's contempt, who are you?

"Tudou.com is essentially just an extremely money-burning online video website, with no technical content, no clear profit model, and even less obvious barriers to competition.

The most important thing is that the market share has not left competitors such as Youku.com and Ku6.com too far. Who laughed and said that it is hard to say in the end.

In my opinion, the investment risk is still very large.

Unlike the project I voted for, there is no opponent on the track at all, and the technology content is very high.If you raise it for a few years, you can get hundreds of times the return. "Ma Liang responded lightly.

It was just his words that made everyone present unable to sit still.

This time there is no need for Wang Hui to spray, Zhang Suyang jumped out first and retorted: "Mr. Ma, that's not what you said.

At present, Tudou ranks No. [-] in the industry in terms of the number of users and market share.

And YouTube’s success story is right in front of us, we don’t need to wait for Tudou to go public, even if it is acquired, our returns will be considerable.”

As a partner of IDG, Zhang Suyang naturally couldn't listen to Ma Liang's words.

A brat, where does he have the qualifications to teach them how to invest with these capital tycoons, and you deserve it too?
"Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood, I didn't say that Tudou.com is bad!

Mr. Wang is so young and promising, so he is naturally a good investment target.

It’s just that we [Gale Capital] are playing small things, and we can’t compare with the big capital behind you. Naturally, we have to invest in earlier projects.

Use greater risk in exchange for higher return on investment.Mr. Zhang, this is also the fate of our small organization." Ma Liang didn't refute the other party's face too much.

In case it's his turn to make a game in the future, maybe he will have to pull Su Yang to cooperate.

Besides, it's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words, and it's even more impossible for him to tell things that haven't happened yet.

You can't predict that the couple will get divorced before long before Wang Du is married to his wife.

Before Zhang Suyang could talk, Xu Xin, the queen of venture capital, asked first: "Mr. Ma, can you tell us about the project you just mentioned!"
