Chapter 17: [1 side investment, 1 side suppression]

Blue Star Technology Studio.

At this moment, several team members such as Lu Siming and Feng Yi are behind Xu Yong. Everyone's eyes are staring at a piece of paper in Xu Yong's hand.

Feng Yi: "Is it really a 1 million cash check?"

Lu Siming: "It can't be fake."

Xu Xu Yong: "I now have the largest sum of money in my life, a whole million yuan !!!"

Everyone surrounded in front of Luo Sheng. The two girls, Irene and Su Yali, stared at the stars, full of worship.

"Hey boss, I can't figure out that we can obviously get 3 million investment, why do you refuse to just 1 million? This is too ... This is not scientific, this is not human." Lu Siming couldn't help but say.

其实 This is actually a place that everyone does not understand, but the team members did not speak at that time, and at that time they could not talk at all. Now the VC is gone, and everyone has solved the doubts in their hearts.

Xu Yong gave the check to Luo Sheng, who took the check with a flick of his finger, stared at the denomination on the check, and said, "Never think about taking advantage of the small advantage. When something happens, there are always traps behind it. Even if it does n’t, you will lose more than it pays. It ’s a small advantage now and you ’ll have a big loss in the future. We are a start-up team. The leverage of capital. "

"Capital can save lives, but it is more often a deadly poison. If it is not used, it will suffer. Not only does less money avoid this invisible harm, but it can also use the value of capital step by step, so that capital is used for me instead of Become a slave to capital. "

"If I take 3 million now, I will transfer 24% of the company's equity based on the valuation after the financing, but I will only transfer 8% of the equity if I take 1 million. The valuation is two million less but it doesn't matter. We First use this money to make the company's operations better and healthier. When I spent this money and then went to the VC for a pre-A round of financing, the negotiations had a larger bargaining chip. By then, we might get a 50 million pre -A round of financing, but the shares transferred and angel financing can also be controlled below 20%. "

After hearing Luo Sheng ’s words, everyone was suddenly realized. I did n’t expect him to be so thoughtful and long-term. Irene put her hands on her jaw and uncovered the worship: “Rogo is so good ~~ In addition to computer science, not only will you play The piano can write excellent piano music, so why do you have such a deep study of law, it seems that you are born with everything ... "

"Uh ..." Luo Sheng coughed a few times, and naturally couldn't tell him that I was a soul from another world, and then laughed: "I don't have such exaggeration as you say, I really understand the legal issues only a little fur, this is still I am influenced by my mother. She is a very good professional lawyer. She is an adviser to several large companies. Besides, she said that she was born before she was born. There are only two things that you are born with? "

Eileen: "What two?"

Luo Luosheng was silent for a moment, smiled and said, "Wow, cry and eat Nai."

"Haha ~~"

"It makes sense, I am speechless."

They didn't know that the news of Tencent's angel round financing appeared on the news of the Internet sector the next day, and this was further concerned by the Internet and investment circles.

In fact, there have been a lot of related news about the BlueSpace website in the Internet sector. In the context of the downturn in the industry, the BlueSpace website is like a dawn. Although the current weight is not large, no one cares about this. growth rate.

Moreover, its growth rate is undoubtedly envied by many people in the industry, and more and more people in the industry have begun to analyze and research the BlueSpace website. This is inevitable.

Uh ...

Tencent headquarters.

"BlueSpace will surely become QQ's biggest competitor in the future? Do you really think so?" President Ma was very surprised to see Xu Chenghua, who came back to the headquarters to report.

"Yes, it's still in the early stages of development. I can't come up with reliable and convincing data to support my judgment, but as far as my personal intuition is, this team, especially the founder Luo Sheng, gave I feel like a born entrepreneur and leader. I think we should take BlueSpace to the strategic level of the company and pay attention to it. We have ignored it more than a month ago, and we ca n’t make the same mistake again. ”

Xu Chenghua said and nodded affirmatively.

Ma, who was sitting on the boss chair, could not help but cover his mouth with his hands. "From what you just described, Luo Sheng, the young entrepreneur, is indeed impressive ... It makes sense that the same mistake cannot be made a second time. Since the acquisition plan If it fails, then concentrate on launching our R community, and let the person in charge of this project advance a period of time, can't drag it on, and give me another half a month to spell it out, and the person in charge cannot resign. "

R community, this is a brand new website of Tencent, that is, it was born after imitating B community.

Mr. Ma added: "However, the investment in Bluestar Technology cannot be dropped. In the subsequent rounds of financing, our company must actively participate in it. At the same time, we must fully suppress without reservation. hit."

Xu Chenghua nodded: "Understand!"

While madly suppressing, while Bluestar Technology was short of money and did not hesitate to invest money in the other party, this seemed contradictory and unintelligible.

But this just shows the pattern of big brothers. If the R community wins, it will be a victory. If the R community fails the competition, Teng Xun can never be said to be a loser, because Teng Xun is a blue star. Major shareholder of technology.

From the perspective of investment and management, the two-handed preparations seem contradictory but perfectly hedge the potential risks as much as possible. If the R agency fails to compete, UU reading does not invest in Blue Star Technology. For Tencent That was a complete failure, even catastrophic.

As far as the current Internet industry is concerned, any Internet company now has the best position in the industry and is afraid to say that its leading position is unbreakable.

President Ma is also an entrepreneur. Teng Xun has not been listed yet. The company was almost dead during the early development stage of the company. The sense of crisis is a problem that he often thinks about.

Uh ...

The time passed day by day. Half a month later, Tencent launched their new product. The R community quietly went online in a hurry. The colleges that have not yet launched the B community launched the R agency in advance, and QQ used its own user base advantage for drainage.

SpaceBlueSpace's first powerful competitor finally appeared, and the era of ease of expansion lasted for a month and a half, with the R community coming online and ending.

With the launch of QQ, which is the R community, under the dual advantages of Tencent Drainage + Strong Funds, and adopting a strategy of first evading competition with BlueSpace first, to grab the blank space market first, the user growth of the R community is also Climbing with an amazing efficiency.

Within a week of launch, the user growth rate broke 200,000, and within half a month it broke 500,000. Although this growth momentum is slightly weaker than the current B community, it is also relatively speaking, it is actually very amazing. .

If the popularity of the B community has shocked the industry and has not yet reacted, the launch of the R community will undoubtedly ignite the enthusiasm of the entire industry.

之后 After the R agency went online, other followers no longer hesitated. In a development studio, a project called [51 Personal Space] was initiated, and similar projects such as [Campus Network] were successively established ...

Uh ...
