Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 406
The world is hehe, all for the benefit!
Businessmen value profits, let alone investors.

So Ma Liang changed the word "benefit" from Master Jin's famous saying, because he didn't want to arouse the resentment of the big guys here, and he didn't want to kidnap everyone morally.

Benefiting the country and benefiting the people means to let the bosses make profits while doing good things to promote the development of the national economy.

In this way, he will not be regarded as a fool by all the bigwigs, who will take him for granted.

"Marlon, well said!
I take back what I just said, if there is a good physical project, I am willing to do my part. "Xiao Ma was the first to praise it.

The reason for this is that our Pony brother is the first person in China to feel that America is playing double standards.

At the beginning, because of the OICQ domain name incident, Goose Factory often filed lawsuits in the United States.At the beginning, many lawyers were hired, but in the end they lost the case and had to change the name of the software product to QQ.

Although it was a blessing in disguise later on, because the name QQ spread better, but after all, it suffered from unfair treatment.

So for Ma Liang's words, Xiao Ma completely empathized with him, and was the first to support him.

Ma Liang was stunned, anyone could praise him, but he didn't expect that the first one to stand up and agree was Pony Ma.

He quickly responded: "Thank you, Pony, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

I have to say that Xiao Ma's copycat is a copycat, but his cognition is quite in place.

Ma Liang remembered watching an interview video of Brother Pony in his previous life. At that time, Goose Factory had already divided the world with Ali, and half of the Huaxia Venture Capital circle had to listen to his orders.

As a result, Brother Xiaoma did not expand at all, and clearly pointed out that there is still a big gap between domestic industrial development and basic scientific research and foreign countries.

In particular, it predicted that the hardware was stuck, and he also bluntly said that the goose factory is not very good.

Compared with the flamboyant old horse, such a humble brother Ma is much more acceptable.

After the applause, the host hurriedly controlled the field.

"Mr. Ma, your speech is really exciting, but the economic sanctions just mentioned, is it too alarmist?"

The professionalism of the host is here. Asking this question is not to question him, but to arouse new topics.

"In fact, it is not the case. If you understand the economic development history of Japan and South Korea, you will not say that.

In the process of their development, many companies have been sued in various ways, and even restricted or sanctioned by various unfair competition policies.

So if our Huaxia companies are threatening to others, it will be a matter of time before they are sued and sanctioned. " Ma Liang explained patiently.

As a master of time travel, he knows it all too well, and he doesn't have to wait for a long time. At the end of this year, the chrysanthemum factory will first enjoy the double-standard treatment of what is called a free market economy.

Then when the subprime mortgage crisis hits next year, various sanctions will become even more shameless.

Although many things cannot be reversed by personal will, Ma Liang still feels that supporting the development of some real enterprises is far more meaningful than the Internet industry.

Li Wei, the founding partner of Songhe Capital, couldn't help expressing his support excitedly: "President Ma's concerns are too forward-looking.

I have been dealing with experts and professors from various universities and research institutes for a long time, and I can tell you responsibly that technological blockades in all walks of life are real.

Huaxia wants to complete industrial upgrading, and it is inseparable from the strong support of everyone here!
As an investor, I also hope that everyone will pay more attention to early-stage companies in the field of technological innovation while investing in Internet projects. "

Li Wei also spoke from the bottom of his heart. After all, he invested in several early projects, and it is much more difficult to finance the next round than Internet projects.

"Oh, I'm getting old, I didn't expect Mr. Ma, this young man, to see it through." Yan Yan shook his head aside and sighed, "That's right, the real industry really needs the cooperation of all of us. help.

Only by making these entities bigger and stronger can they have enough financial resources to do R&D and innovation, and finally realize industrial upgrading.

And as investors, the only thing we can do is to spend money to support it.

I would like to appeal to all colleagues to contribute money and strength, and make sure that their institutions can support one or two physical projects every year.

If it goes on for a long time, I believe that ten or 20 years later there will be a time when it will blossom and bear fruit. "

As the big brother of venture capital, Yan Yan finally spoke up in order to save face, and followed suit with nice words.

It's just that Ma Liang knows that all the investors present are extraordinary people, and how can they be influenced by just a few words.

Although these bigwigs echoed in their mouths today, they may not necessarily turn around in actual actions.

But so what, as the saying goes, do your best and obey the fate, anyway, he has done everything he should do, and he will be reborn again.

At least the topic of the round table forum was brought to industry and manufacturing by him.

Then there were various discussions and sharing, including some capital tycoons in the audience who also spoke one after another, and even followed Ma Liang to introduce many real projects invested by his own institutions.

Especially for some small and micro technology companies, the sharing immediately attracted the attention of many investors.

It can also be seen that venture capital information is not smooth, and it also shows that the domestic VC/PE industry is really just getting started.

In the United States, where capital is extremely developed, entrepreneurial projects do not use this model to attract investment, but it has become a scarce monopoly resource in China, making it extremely difficult.

Especially for many industrial projects, if you want to raise funds, you really don't even know where to open the door of the investment institution.

More than two hours passed quickly, and the roundtable forum at the branch venue finally ended with warm applause.

As soon as Ma Liang stepped off the stage, many people came forward to chat and make friends.

"Mr. Ma, your sharing just now is really admirable. I have been in the venture capital circle for so many years, and I have to say I am convinced!"

"Yes, Mr. Ma, if there are any good projects in the industry in the future, we can cooperate more."

"I remember hearing it before. Mr. Ma, several of your own catering projects are very popular. I don't know when you can open the financing window again?"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Then our organization must also participate."

"Mr. Ma, I don't know if the next round of financing has been finalized for the [Dajiang Drone] you mentioned earlier? We are very interested in this project!"

The enthusiasm of the crowd really made Ma Liang a little overwhelmed.

He could only exchange contact information with these investors while exchanging pleasantries, and he would never refuse any investment institution from all walks of life.

After all, there are still many catering projects to be launched in the future, and there are also many industrial projects to be invested in the future, which just need the help of various capitals.

You can't just ask Xu Xin, Chai Daguan and others to join in every project, and venture capital is not like that.

It is better to form good relationships and gather various resources and contacts in the venture capital circle, so that it will be convenient to make a game in the future.

At this moment, Deng Feng from Northern Light Venture Capital came over, and he said anxiously: "Mr. Ma, you and Mr. Xu have promised me the next round of financing [Dajiang UAV], but you can't promise it to others." .”

"Don't worry, Mr. Deng, you won't be missing in the next round." Ma Liang responded with a headache.

Previously, [Da Jiang] was blown too hard on the stage, and nine out of ten investors who gathered around asked him about this project, trying to follow up in the next round.

So Deng Feng became anxious when he saw it, fearing that something would happen, he rushed over to remind him.

Ma Liang is also very short-tempered, [Dajiang Drone] really deserves to be a super unicorn project in his previous life, and its popularity is much higher than his catering project.

Just the investors who hooked up at the scene were enough to help [Da Jiang] get together the financing from the C round to the F round.

If he wants to make a round, it is basically not difficult, and he can finalize several rounds of financing in minutes.

This is the benefit of fame. Although his strength is not enough, after today's roundtable forum, he will be considered the number one figure in the capital circle in the future.

In the future, if you miss new projects, you can also make a game at any time like Xu Xin, the queen of venture capital.

As long as he succeeds in several capital bureaus, word of mouth will soon spread in the venture capital circle: his little brother Ma's bureau is very good!
