Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 417 Are you willing to vote?
He didn't pay attention at first, but Gao Tiancheng reacted immediately when he was beaten by Ma Liang at the party last night.

That's right, I must have heard the name Ma Liang somewhere.

But after asking no results in the morning, he turned around and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he checked it online.

It doesn't matter this search, Gao Tiancheng was completely stunned when he saw the search results.

He finally recalled that he had indeed heard of Ma Liang's name, and had seen it on the news some time ago.

As an entrepreneur, I usually pay attention to some venture capital news.

Liang Ma, founder of [Gale Capital], angel investor of Twitter
Just this information alone was enough to make Gao Tiancheng's mouth shut in shock, not to mention that Ma Liang also made a big splash at the first China Private Equity Summit Forum, which was reported by mainstream online media.

After realizing it, he waited in the reception hall for a whole day, and finally saw Ma Liang and the two returned to [Naked Heart Township].

Boss Gao hurriedly stood up and called out Ma Liang's English name: "Marlon, it's really you."

"Uh, forget it!" Ma Liang didn't expect that the other party really recognized him.

To be honest, apart from his publicity at the private equity fund summit forum, he has always been quite low-key.

So even if he walked to the street, it was impossible for anyone to know him under normal circumstances.

But Ma Liang felt relieved when he thought of the other party's identity as the founder, and even a transnational serial entrepreneur.

Since he is a member of the circle, it is normal to recognize him.

When Gao Tian saw Ma Liang admitting it, he was immediately overwhelmed with excitement: "I am here, Marlon, it is our honor that you can live in [naked Heart Township]."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said!" Ma Liang said modestly, "Is there any more dinner, we are both starving to death."

Liu Feifei also shouted hungry: "Yes, yes, I am so hungry that my chest sticks to my back."

The two of them have been shopping all day today, and they ate early for lunch, so they are already hungry.

Gao Tiancheng responded immediately: "Yes, yes, I will go and ask my aunt to do it for you."

Before he finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen.

Not long after, a sumptuous dinner appeared in front of Ma Liang and his wife.

Gao Tiancheng brought his wife, Ye Kaixin, a bottle of red wine, and served them hospitablely: "Marlon, this is my wife's treasured wine. If it weren't for you, she would not be willing to take it out."

"There's no need to be so polite." Ma Liang was a little flattered for a moment.

After all, although Gao Tiancheng and his wife came to Moganshan to open a homestay, their family background is very strong, so they are not hard-working entrepreneurs.

And the other party didn't want to raise money, so there was no need to please him.

Ye Kaixin explained enthusiastically: "China is a country of etiquette, and when friends come from afar, isn't it right to treat them with good wine and good food?
Or is it that Mr. Ma, you look down on us and don't intend to recognize us as friends? "

"Don't dare, Mr. Ye is a well-known designer, so I have no right to look down on you and your wife!" Ma Liang had no choice but to say modestly, "Then respect is worse than obedience, thank you two for your kind hospitality."

Gao Tiancheng burst into laughter immediately: "That's right, let's have a toast to our fate!"

After speaking, he poured wine for Ma Liang and Liu Feifei, and the couple toasted together.

The couple were warm and hospitable, how could Ma Liang show their face, so he took Liu Feifei to clink glasses with each other, and this friend was recognized.

Everyone had a table of good food, drinking and chatting hotly.

From food to culture, from history to economy, a period of nonsense.Especially when it comes to entrepreneurship, there are constant topics.

After all, the four of them are entrepreneurs, and they will have a lot of common language when talking about this.

While chatting, Gao Tiancheng took the opportunity to ask: "Marlon, I actually thought about what you said last night for a long time.

Are you implying that I'm looking for financing?If it were you, what would you do? "

If ordinary people said that, Gao Tiancheng would definitely scoff.

But Ma Liang's identity is different. He is the founder of [Gale Capital], a super talented person who invested in Twitter in advance.

Extraordinary people must have something extraordinary.

Gao Tiancheng was able to start a business continuously, and his IQ and EQ were much better than ordinary people, so he would not believe that Ma Liang would say those things for no reason.

So when he went back to bed last night, he lay on the bed thinking about it over and over again.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Ma Liang's words are reasonable. According to the current operation method, it is really impossible for [naked Heart Township] to make a big leap forward.

So whether it was out of guilt towards his wife or worry about his career, he wanted to listen carefully to Ma Liang, a well-known investor, for his advice.

"Hey, I'll just say it casually, don't take it seriously!" Ma Liang was too lazy to say anything now.

After all, what should be persuaded was already persuaded last night, and it is useless to say more. If the person who said it again is not happy to listen, wouldn't it be very embarrassing.

Gao Tiancheng looked at Ma Liang with a puzzled face, and stopped talking a little bit.

Seeing that her husband couldn't speak, Ye Kaixin hurriedly said: "President Ma, Tian Cheng has such a temper, don't take it for granted!
Because he was driven out of the company by capital before, he has always been resistant to financing.

But [Naked Heart Township] is the dream of our husband and wife, and we really want to make this career better.

If it is convenient, I hope you can give some suggestions. "

People are like this, if it is an advice given by ordinary people, it is difficult to listen to it.But when meeting people who are much stronger than themselves, they will become humble again.

Ma Liang is a well-known investor. Whether it is starting a business or investing, he is fully qualified to teach the couple a lesson in business development.

So after some discussion, they came over with a good wine and humbly asked for advice.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just suggest that you might as well consider the way of financing. After all, running a business is like sailing against the current, and every step is slow."

Cannibalism is short-mouthed, so Ma Liang had no choice but to express what he said last night more bluntly.

Gao Tiancheng hurriedly replied after hearing the words: "Capital money is not so easy to get, once you get financing, investors will always force you to develop rapidly behind your back.

But the homestay industry is doomed to be a slow-working business. It takes time to accumulate customers and word-of-mouth. How can it be fast?

I don't want investors who don't know how to do business to come and give pointers when I am doing business in a down-to-earth manner. "

"Then it's up to you, I just want to tell you one thing, [naked Heart Township] is very good, but not so good as to be exaggerated.

Moreover, there are many talented people in Huaxia, and soon there will be competitors who imitate you.

There is no need to go to other places to see, just in the area of ​​Moganshan, there may be hundreds of homestays next year or the year after.

Sometimes when doing business, it’s not enough to say that you can do well, it depends on whether your colleagues agree or not.

Once people get the financing, they can build better homestays than [naked Heart Township], and can expand rapidly, expand to more high-quality scenic spots, and open branches.

Although Huaxia has a vast land and rich resources, there are only a few lands that are most suitable for homestays.

Once those places are occupied by competitors in advance, there will not be much room for you to develop.

That's why I said that every step is slow and every step is slow.

That's all for now, it's up to you to listen or not. " Ma Liang patiently analyzed it again.

Gao Tiancheng was silent when he heard the words, and fell into a tangle for an instant. After all, what Ma Liang said was the biggest risk of their business.

With imitators, their greatest competitive advantage is lost.

For this reason, he and his wife discussed whether to invest a little more money in upgrading the 8 homestays in [naked Heart Township].

Boss Gao at this moment has not yet learned how to operate tourism real estate.Therefore, in the face of the upcoming competitive risks, I still feel anxious in my heart.

As an architectural designer, Ye Kaixin has a sharper thinking logic.

She immediately asked: "Mr. Ma, if we [naked Heart Village] decide to raise funds, would you like to invest?"
