Rebirth 2002: Chic Life

Chapter 285 has to add money!
It's nothing new for founders to be kicked out of the business they started.

Xinlan, Wanke, Pretty Jiangnan, Prince's Milk, Xinfeng's Aunt's Dumplings, Jinling's Old Lady Catering...

The one thing they all have in common is that after the success of the company, the founder gets kicked out.

Ordinary people in 2003 would care about the shareholding structure!

However, in 2022, the unlucky stories of these entrepreneurs are everywhere on short video apps such as Douyin, Kuaijiao, Metasequoia, and Winter Melon.

You only need to read one of these things, and big data will push all similar stories to you.

The more you look, the higher you go.

Zhuo, it turns out that I am not the only one who is unlucky...

Oh, there are people more unlucky than me, so happy.

In particular, the founder of a certain hotel once wrote an article "Sold the hotel, I got drunk and slept all night on the road" after the company was acquired, which was widely circulated.

Some people even say that the founder is the surrogate mother of the company, and when the company grows up, only the investors are called parents.

Wu Dong used to take these things as a joke, but now he has also started to study the shareholding structure.

A business is like a child of an entrepreneur, and every entrepreneur wants to be the master of his own business.

But people are poor and short-sighted. When looking at their company's monthly expenses of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions, the founders often have to bow down for five buckets of rice.

In order to get investors' money, many business founders engage in financing round after round.

What Mu Shengnan is doing now is the initial round of financing. After this round is over, Wu Dong, Mu Shengnan, and Li Ran will still own 80% of the equity...

Then whether to engage in A round of financing, B round of financing, Wu Dong has not yet decided.

People who have no money hope to have money, and people who have money hope to have power. If things like desire are not controlled, there will be no end to their rise.

A young man must not be without money for a day, and a big man must not be without power for a day!
With the platform of Weibo, at least in the entertainment circle, Wu Dong can be regarded as a prince along the way.

……

Han Sanqiang pondered for a moment, then looked at Wu Dong, "So you are afraid of this."

"Brother, you also defend?"

Wu Dong laughed loudly, "How is it possible, we have nothing to do with each other, how could I be where I am today without your support, third brother."

Wu Dong patted Han Sanqiang, "We are siblings, of course this is not impossible."

Han Sanqiang was triumphant, "I knew..."

He was only halfway through when Wu Dong answered, "However, you have to pay more!"

"roll!"

"Hahaha……"

After laughing for a while, Han Sanqiang said seriously, "If we really want to start, I will have a special team here to do this.
Let's just chat casually, 5000 million is only 10% of the shares, you are a little black. "

Wu Dong smiled, "Actually, I'm under a lot of pressure now. Do you think the coal boss is really a fool with a lot of money?

The most indispensable thing in the world is professional talents. They don't know how to spend money to hire people, and if they have money, they can't hire accountants and analysts.

In fact, Li Qi told me that Zhang Qianshan’s family also found a special team to analyze my Langlang Media. They gave a valuation of 0 to 10 billion, and even 10 billion may be worthless! "

Han Sanqiang grinned, "If you don't call it a venture capital investment, nine out of ten investments is the norm! How can there be so many entrepreneurial geniuses!"

He stood up and poured two more glasses of wine, and handed the glasses to Wu Dong, "5000 million, doubled, lost everything. What is the coal boss planning?"

Wu Dong looked up at Han Sanqiang with a serious expression on his face.
"They don't understand the Internet, they are investing in me.

Now I'm not fooling around by myself, I'm responsible for their 5000 million from the day I promised them. "

"5000 million" Han Sanqiang muttered.

They are all in the same round of financing, and everyone knows that there is no difference between them.

Wu Dong Studio, director's office.

"What did Boss Han talk to you about?" Mu Shengnan asked.

"It's still about investment. He wants decision-making power and doesn't want to be a pure financial investor." Wu Dong took a sip of the coffee Li Ran handed over.

Li Ran gave him a strange look, "Didn't you say at first..."

"In the beginning, I only wanted money, but now I want more?" Wu Dong said in a deep voice.

Li Ran and Mu Shengnan looked at each other, not surprised.

Wu Dong looked up at Mu Shengnan, "How did you arrange tonight?"

Mu Shengnan smiled slightly, "Have a meal with potential investors first, at this time, I need you to draw a wonderful blueprint for success..."

"I understand! It is to draw a big cake for them and strengthen their confidence in investment. Then?"

"At 9 o'clock, meet and chat with Mr. Chen in the coffee shop on the 23rd floor, and listen to what he wants. Although Wang Haihua is Mr. Chen's manager, she cannot completely make decisions for Mr. Chen.

And about Wang Haihua, I suggest explaining it clearly to them during the meal. Even financial investors have the right to know where their money is spent. "

……

At 6:22 p.m., Beijiang Hotel on the [-]nd floor.

In addition to Zhang Qianshan and Yuan Lili, Han Sanqiang and Wang Hai also came. If you are interested, you can sit down and chat. The specific operations, various contracts and agreements will naturally be made by professional institutions.

But this seemingly casual eating and chatting is the real decision-making moment, and the fake processes behind are just a formality in comparison.

When it comes to eating, no one eats seriously except Wu Dong and Li Ran. They all come to listen to Wu Dong's outlook on the future.

Wu Dong doesn't know how to draw cakes, he just described the application scenarios of micro-broadcasting in general.

"If I had activated Weibo, I would have just posted about my winnings yesterday and everyone who followed me would know about it.

You don't have to call me one by one, just reply me below, and who is friends with whom, just look at their Weibo interaction to see at a glance...

Weibo is a society on the Internet. In the future, almost all celebrities from all walks of life will have a Weibo account.

Whether you are an individual film and television actor or a corporate group, you must have a Weibo account.

The size of the influence can be seen clearly only by looking at the number of followers, and the number of followers of Weibo Top Stream may exceed [-] million..."

Wu Dong just talked about it casually, and all the audience were dumbfounded.

Wu Dong glanced at a few people, and said in his heart, 'Is this shocking?I don't know much about it. '

Wu Dong originally planned to show them some apps like Weibo Chaohua, but he didn't say anything later, it was unnecessary.

In 2003, in the era without smart phones, it was really hard for people to imagine what the online society was like. Jingxi, Taobao, and Xixi, and various short video apps, payment by scanning QR code or even payment by scanning face...

Tell them, can they believe it?

It's impossible to believe.

Even in 2023, Wang Wang's experts still say that the mainland's high-speed rail has no backrest.

……

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Wu Dong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel and looked at the night scene outside the window.

Investment should be no problem, but Cen Daoming is a bit difficult here?

Seeing that Ding Dayong's performance in Jianghu Billboard became popular overnight, this guy regretted it.

Now he wants Wu Dong to get him a script.
