Chapter 214 Manpower Problem
"She has set her sights on real estate."

Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised when he received Su Ran's call at night.

I have to say that Feng Yun is really smart. Not only did he quickly understand the routine, but he also learned and applied it.

"How's it going? Are there any problems?" Su Ran was a little nervous and asked softly.

"There's nothing wrong with the house." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "But it's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse."

After all, this routine is most suitable for real estate.

It's just that housing prices will skyrocket in the future, and there's no telling.

If house prices fall, it will be insolvent.

If the bosses find that the value of the house far exceeds the value of the loan, they will try their best to get it back.

There are many cases of bosses cheating mindless mistresses, and there are also many cases where little fairies earn gold coins, just to see who has a higher rank.

It's just that there will be legal disputes involved, and the loan lender may be involved.

Qin Shaoyan thought for a while and said, "If you want performance, don't worry. I will introduce you to a group of high-quality customers, including housing loans and real estate mortgage loans."

"Your Manager Feng, just let her figure it out on her own. Don't get involved."

"Yes." Su Ran agreed softly, "You should also go to bed early. Good night."

Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone and looked at Zhang Pingyi and Chen Guangxia who were discussing technical issues.

"How are the preparations for the video website going now?"

The two ended their discussion and looked at Qin Shaoyan together.

Chen Guangxia thought for a while and replied: "The technical solution has been determined. It is technically difficult, but it can be easily solved. Now we lack an experienced R&D team."

"What if it's transferred from the campus network?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"The campus network is also short of people now." Chen Guangxia shook his head, "We cannot always divert the technical strength of the campus network."

Zhang Pingyi nodded in agreement, "After all, the campus network is our foundation. We can't just stick to one place to suck blood. If that doesn't work, let's recruit a group of new people."

"Okay." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "You can figure it out yourself. If you want money, give money, and if you want people, give others."

"I only have one condition: to make the project beautiful and give investors a satisfactory explanation."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin." Chen Guangxia nodded vigorously and expressed his attitude with enthusiasm.

"I feel at ease when Senior Brother Chen is here." Qin Shaoyan looked at Chen Guangxia with a smile, "Has Senior Brother Chen bought a house?"

"Uh, not yet." Chen Guangxia was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment, "I don't have that much money on hand, so I'm considering a loan."

"Senior Brother Chen is already a CTO after all. What can we do without a house?" Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "The company will pay for Senior Brother Chen to buy a house."

"Ah?!" Chen Guangxia stood up excitedly, a little at a loss, and became incoherent for a moment, "This...this..."

"Senior Brother Chen, can't you still enjoy your hard work for the company?" Qin Shaoyan made the decision on the spot, "That's it."

"Work hard. When the company goes public, I will equip Senior Brother Chen with a good car."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Chen Guangxia's face turned red and his tone was choked.

Qin Shaoyan said boldly, "In addition, Zhang Tianshi and Senior Brother Chen will discuss and make a list of the key employees of the campus network."

"After the New Year, we will find a new building and help them pay the down payment as a reward from the company."

"In addition, we have to buy a group of houses and rent them to company employees at a low price as a welfare. We also need to buy a commuter bus to make commuting to and from get off work more convenient."

Chen Guangxia gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Qin is such a rare good boss."

Zhang Pingyi nodded in agreement, "Mr. Qin is indeed a good boss."

"Let's work together to make the company bigger and stronger." Qin Shaoyan said happily, "I will try to go to Nasdaq to ring the bell in 06. Then I will buy myself a piece of land and build a building."

"Bigger and stronger!"

……

Qin Shaoyan was cheering for his men here, and Xiong Xiaoge was also actively communicating with them over there.

Several venture capital investors have come together and are working on a project report on a video website.

Zheng Nan from Sequoia glanced at it and handed the report to his deputy. He pondered for two seconds and asked tentatively: "Is Mr. Xiong planning to invest in this project?"

Xiong Xiaoge did not express his position, but asked: "Mr. Zheng, what do you think of this project?"

"Video website." Zheng Nan frowned, "This is indeed a brand new Internet type. The United States has just emerged. YouTube is developing very fast. I have read the market analysis report in the United States. They have a negative impact on YouTube. The prospects are still very optimistic.”

"But YouTube is a new thing after all, and the market response remains to be seen. We don't have to rush to the end, let's wait and see."

Xu Xin from Capital Today also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Xiong, the development direction and market of video websites are unclear now."

"I heard that YouTube has been involved in a copyright lawsuit in the United States. You need to be cautious about this matter. If you invest, it will be very risky."

"We are all venture capital investors." Xiong Xiaoge said with a serious face, "Venture capital investment means that investment carries risks, but the risks also mean that the returns are also large."

"I don't know the specific development of the video website project, but I am very optimistic about this project."

"Why?" Xu Xin asked in surprise.

"Because Qin Shaoyan also wants to start a video website." Xiong Xiaoge said unhurriedly, "He started YouTube. It has become a popular website not only in the United States, but also in Europe."

"It's impossible for him to create such a thing for no reason. He must have his purpose."

"I went to see him a few days ago, tested him out, and found that he was indeed planning to launch a domestic video website."

"Zhang Pingyi, the CTO of Campus Network, went to the United States with him. Zhang Pingyi also participated in YouTube. His intentions are obvious."

“Use the U.S. market to verify the new type of video website, and then transplant it to China.”

Zheng Nan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, "This is indeed Qin Shaoyan's style."

"Mr. Xiong, has Qin Shaoyan told you about the development direction and future prospects of the video website?"

"He didn't say anything specific." Xiong Xiaoge pondered for a moment, "He just said it was to improve the ecological layout of the social platform, and he didn't say anything more specific."

Zheng Nan was a little surprised, "What is his plan?"

"It's just that I want to secretly build a video website, and then take the opportunity to raise the valuation." Xiong Xiaoge sneered, "It's the same old routine."

Zheng Nan nodded, this was indeed Qin Shaoyan's style.

Quietly give you a big job, and then try to raise the price for you, making venture capital investors love and hate you.

Xu Xin from Capital Today flipped through the market research report and said with a frown: "It's not impossible to invest in this video website, but now Qin Shaoyan has nothing and can't even produce a PPT, so we're going to invest?"

"When he has something, you won't be able to tell what the price will be." Xiong Xiaoge said seriously, "While he has nothing, finalize the investment intention, otherwise when he really comes up with a video website, he will dare to ask you for it. One billion.”

Zheng Nan nodded again, which was also Qin Shaoyan's style.

"The valuation is US$12 million. If we invest a few dollars, it won't be much money." Xiong Xiaoge said directly, "It's just a small project of one to two million US dollars. What do you think?" Zheng Nan said simply, " Then I’ll vote a little too.”

Xu Xin hesitated for a moment, "Then I'll take a look as well, just in time to interact with Qin Shaoyan more."

Dachen Venture Capital, which had been discussing next to them, saw the three companies' statements and immediately expressed its intention to follow up.

Xiong Xiaoge is right, it is indeed a small project, and if it is shared among several companies, it will not cost much.

Peng Xiaolin from Lenovo Investment suddenly said, "Speaking of video websites, I received a project a while ago. One of my VPs was responsible for it, and it was also a video website."

Xiong Xiaoge immediately showed an interested look, "Oh, Mr. Peng has also started paying attention to video websites a long time ago."

"I didn't expect that the domestic Internet would respond so quickly. It wasn't long after YouTube was launched in the United States, and there were people here working on the same project."

"I just thought the project was interesting, so I paid attention to it." Peng Xiaolin said with a smile.

He had actually forgotten about this project a long time ago. Today, when Xiong Xiaoge talked about the video website, he remembered that he had seen something similar.

It’s just that he didn’t remember the details, he only remembered that it was a video website.

Xiong Xiaoge asked, "Is Mr. Peng interested in investing together?"

"Well." Peng Xiaolin pondered for a few seconds, "Let's take a look and then talk."

……

the next day.

Xiong Xiaoge went directly to Qin Shaoyan's door and asked immediately: "How are the preparations for the video website?"

"Still recruiting people." Qin Shaoyan replied unhurriedly, "The technical plan is already in place. All that's left is to find someone to build the website."

"Then hurry up." Xiong Xiaoge asked directly, "Can it be online before the end of the year?"

Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "Mr. Xiong, you are too hasty."

"I have contacted several venture capital investors here to invest in you." Xiong Xiaoge said, "The funds have been prepared for you, just waiting for your website to go online."

"Eh?!" Qin Shaoyan was really shocked, "Mr. Xiong, you are moving too fast. Which company are they in?"

"IDG, Sequoia, Today Capital, Dachen Venture Capital, Lenovo are still considering it." Xiong Xiaoge stretched out his hand and gestured, "How about a valuation of US$12 million?"

"The valuation of US$12 million is a bit low." Qin Shaoyan pretended to think for a moment, "How about just rounding it up, US$25 million?"

"..." Xiong Xiaoge took a deep breath, "Then you must put the project online before the end of the year."

"No problem." Qin Shaoyan nodded happily and agreed.

"But there are too many of you. It's best not to have more than four families."

Xiong Xiaoge was a little confused, "Why?"

"I'm afraid there will be chaos if there are too many people." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "It's better to keep it simple."

"Okay, we will be the four investors." Xiong Xiaoge made the decision readily, "But the website must be launched before the end of the year. You have to give me a guarantee."

"Go online before New Year's Day." Qin Shaoyan said immediately, "I can sign a gambling agreement."

After Xiong Xiaoge got Qin Shaoyan's promise, he left with satisfaction, leaving Qin Shaoyan alone in deep thought.

Qin Shaoyan quickly called Zhang Minyi and Chen Guangxia over and said straight to the point: "Mr. Xiong has urged us to go online before New Year's Day."

"Ah?!" Zhang Pingyi and Chen Guangxia were immediately stunned.

"Mr. Qin, are you serious?" Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, "Will it be online before New Year's Day?"

"Yes." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "This time point has been decided. There is no need to discuss it. Let's talk about what the main difficulty is now, right?"

Chen Guangxia said directly: "We are very short of people right now. We can't finish the job even if we work overtime until we vomit blood."

"The main reason is that there is a shortage of people." Zhang Pingyi also said, "It's too late to recruit people now. There is other work to be done on the campus network. Your audition for the international summer camp will take a lot of effort. Don't expect to transfer them here. ”

"I will handle the people's matters for you." Qin Shaoyan looked at the two of them seriously, "If the people are in place, can you guarantee me that the website will be online on time?"

"This is no problem." Zhang Pingyi said decisively, "As long as the people are in place, we can get it done for you within a month."

"Okay, it's settled." Qin Shaoyan took out his cell phone from his pocket and called the number where Edward was found.

"Edward, how's your progress going?"

"As long as everything goes well, please do something for me now."

……

In a cafe in Zhongguancun.

Each new Internet entrepreneur uses a jerky expression and works hard to introduce his or her project to investors.

While guiltily exaggerating the prospects and data of his website, he carefully discussed valuation and share dilution plans.

I don’t know how many projects are discussed in this cafe every day, and I don’t know how many projects are negotiated.

In the tide of Internet entrepreneurship, coffee shops have become a holy place for entrepreneurs.

Every Internet entrepreneurial myth is born here.

Today, the game between entrepreneurs and investors is still going on in the corner.

Wang Wei squeezed the coffee hard, weighing and struggling in his heart.

Edward, who was sitting opposite him, was drinking coffee with a relaxed expression and said unhurriedly: "Wang, how are you thinking about it?"

"As long as you are willing to nod, the first funds will be received immediately."

Wang Wei frowned and said, "I have no objection to the valuation, but your exclusivity clause is a bit too much."

"Wang." Edward interrupted Wang Wei, "The exclusivity clause is a standard contract and cannot be changed."

Wang Wei was a little worried, "But in this case, we won't be able to accept investment from other people in the first round of financing, right?"

"I also want to protect the interests of investors." Edward said with a smile.

"Sorry, I need to think about it again." Wang Wei put down the coffee in his hand, "I want to discuss it with the rest of the team."

"It's okay." Edward expressed his understanding generously, "But I remind you, you don't have much time."

"I understand." Wang Wei nodded.

"Don't be so nervous." Edward suddenly laughed, "I'm going to treat you tonight and call all your team members over. Let's all eat together and chat while eating."

"This..." Wang Wei hesitated.

"There is a saying in China that business cannot be done without justice." Edward said generously, "Even if we can't negotiate investment, we can still be considered friends and let's have a meal together."

"Okay." Wang Wei nodded in agreement.
