Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

The latest website: President Liu has been worrying about funding recently.

Although I have worked hard to make good calculations, the money is still not enough.

So where the money comes from has become a very tangled problem.

I have already received a sum of money from Tengda, but have not made any achievements.

But if you don’t take money from Tenda, it will be more difficult to get money elsewhere.

As a result, he did not expect that when he was entangled, He Desheng took the initiative to find a door to chase, which is really heart-warming!

This means that Tengda is optimistic about this project, whether it is in terms of funds or confidence, it has made a strong shot for everyone.

Therefore, President Liu was deeply moved and thanked He Hesheng for his gratitude.

He Desheng smiled: "Oh, there is no need to thank me in particular, I just act according to President Pei's regulations."

President Liu on the phone hurriedly said, "Understood, in short, thank you very much! Thank you Mr. Pei and Mr. He for your support and trust in our company!"

"My employees and I must redouble our efforts!"

He Desheng also called two other small companies that couldn't see any profit prospects and wanted to pursue investment. These companies were all overjoyed and moved.

Because in their view, the behaviors of Tenda and Yuanmeng Venture Capital are really heart-warming!

Although the situation of these small companies is different, and the probability of success of the project is also mixed, but most people really want to make the project.

Because the finances of these companies are all supervised by Tenda, they can't do anything nasty, and everyone's interests are the same. If the project is successful, it is not only the investors who make money, but also the company boss and all employees.

In this situation of shortage of funds, Tenda's generosity again is of course a very moving thing.

Finally, He Desheng dialed Meng Chang's phone.

"Hello? President He!" Meng Chang's enthusiastic voice rang over the phone.

He Desheng couldn't help feeling emotion. In the eyes of others, Meng Chang was a perfect entrepreneur and perfect entrepreneur.

Excellent personal image, good eloquence, infectious speech, strong execution, long-term vision, and always energetic, no matter what time you will put 100% of your energy into your work...

These advantages are all concentrated on one person, even if there is a little flaw, most investors will ignore it subconsciously.

He Desheng said: "Mr. Meng, congratulations, Mr. Pei decided to vote for the cold noodle girl another six million."

Over the phone, Meng Chang froze a little, then ecstatic.

at last!

Finally, I got a follow-up from President Pei!

Since the establishment of the cold noodle girl brand, Meng Chang has also been a painstaking effort, from the initial PPT, to the later press conference, to the most recent stores and various marketing events...

I did so much to impress investors!

Among all these investors, Meng Chang is most concerned about Mr. Pei. Because Pei is always a genius investor, as long as he can get Mr. Pei's investment, and then take other people's investment, it will be within reach!

In fact, so far, many investors have privately found Meng Chang and want to invest in cold noodle girls.

But Meng Chang did not agree.

Because the conditions of these investors are too harsh for him.

Some require too many shares, some require signing a gambling agreement, and others require an agreement such as the investor’s right to sell and the founder’s share transfer restrictions.

The so-called priority sale right means that the investor and the founder agree that if a third party buys equity from the founder, under the same conditions, the investor has the right to sell first; and the equity transfer restriction means that the company is agreed before a certain stage (For example, before IPO or M&A), the founders are not allowed to sell their own shares.

In layman's terms, it is to restrict the founders from selling shares to cash out.

This is actually a very common phenomenon, because for investors, the investment project is the investment. If the investment is made and the company's valuation is pushed up, the founder leaves the company. How can the company continue to develop rapidly?

Investors of course hope that the founders will always have a hard time, so that they can go all out to start a business and make money for investors.

For Meng Chang, this is of course an unacceptable condition.

The purpose of my effort is to cash out, but you won’t let me cash out, is that okay?

Is it true that I really worked hard for you all my life?

Therefore, Meng Chang did not accept this condition, but was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to increase his right to speak.

If the company develops too fast, it is a piece of sweet and sour, and countless investors are thinking about sharing a slice of soup, then naturally there will be investors rushing to invest, and Meng Chang will no longer need to sign these restrictive terms.

And Mr. Pei's pursuit is a good opportunity.

Because Mr. Pei is the vane of investment in the eyes of many people, Mr. Pei chased the cold girl by six million. This is a clear signal that someone will definitely keep up and sign some looser terms.

This is a key step for Meng Chang!

Because his money burned quickly, if he burned half of it, he would fall into a very embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, President Pei shot!

Meng Chang forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart: "Thank you Mr. He, thank you Mr. Pei, I will definitely..."

Before he finished, he was interrupted by He Desheng: "Don't worry, Pei is always conditional."

"The condition is that you must be absolutely confidential about Tenda's 6 million investment. You must not disclose any information to the outside world. This is a confidentiality clause in the investment agreement and cannot be violated."

Meng Chang: "?"

His mood was originally in a state of ecstasy, and when he heard this moment he felt like he was hitting the head and was knocked out.

Confidential?

why?

Meng Chang felt very puzzled.

If it is another investor, it will generally restrict the founder from selling shares to cash out. Meng Chang boldly judged that Mr. Pei would not do this, because Mr. Pei never seemed to arrange similar terms when investing.

That's why he paid so much attention to President Pei's investment.

Facts proved that his speculation was correct. Mr. Pei did not put forward similar restrictions, but he never expected that Mr. Pei had a request for confidentiality!

This is actually hitting Meng Chang's weakness, not fatal, but uncomfortable!

Does Meng Chang need this money? Of course it is needed. But his purpose is not just to make the cold noodle girl burn more money for a month or two, but to pry up more investors' funds and push up the company's valuation.

In other words, this matter must be communicated to the investor's side to be of value.

Otherwise, it is just a dry six million, nothing more than let the cold noodle girl burn more money for a period of time.

However, Meng Chang had no reason not to accept the money.

Because Mr. Pei's money does not restrict the founder from selling shares, it is much better than the conditions given by other investors.

Besides, the face of the girl with cold noodles must continue to be supported, and the money must continue to burn. The capital chain cannot be broken, and once the drama is broken, it cannot be sung.

Therefore, the money just happened to be a little higher than Meng Chang's psychological bottom line. It's a pity to give up and tasteless.

On the other side of the phone, He Desheng asked: "Is there any problem?"

Meng Chang quickly responded and hurriedly said, "No problem!"

He Desheng didn't say much, just encouraged him to put a lot of effort into it and hung up the phone.

Meng Chang took a deep breath, and a worry appeared on his face.

After several previous experiences, Meng Chang has made it very clear that it is meaningless to bargain on this kind of problem. This is how Mr. Pei said that he is a character, and it is impossible to give him a bargaining opportunity.

If you don’t take the money now, you may not get it in the future. Compared with other money that restricts the sale of shares, it is still more comfortable to hold the money.

Meng Chang couldn't help but feel sad. President Pei was indeed unfathomable. From dealing to now, President Pei's every move seemed to make him uncomfortable!

When Meng Chang first received the investment, he had to accept Tenda to assign finance; now the second investment must be kept secret.

If you give a score to satisfaction, then Meng Chang's satisfaction is about 60 every time.

If this score is even lower, Meng Chang may give up, there will be no cold noodle girl brand.

President Pei can just get this score card right, stepping on Meng Chang's psychological bottom line and let him start a business, but he always makes some restrictions in places that seem insignificant, making Meng Chang uncomfortable.

What worries Meng Chang most now is that he does not know if his thoughts have been seen by President Pei?

Are these restrictions imposed by Mr. Pei on himself, or on all investors?

Meng Chang was very clear. At the last press conference, President Pei sent President Ma to beat him. This kind of master trick is like playing Tai Chi. If you point to each other, you will never do too much, but also Never scratch it.

Mr. Pei's series of behaviors gave Meng Chang the feeling of being an extremely calm wolf, following him from afar.

It is possible that this wolf just happened to pass by and would not hurt him, but it might also suddenly jump out of speed in the next second, directly knocking him to the ground and biting his throat.

President Pei's detached means has always kept a certain distance from Meng Chang, neither violating his core interests nor giving up threats to him.

Some chilling feelings, but always self-doubt, do not know if it is an illusion.

This is very contradictory.

But now that the matter is over, Meng Chang feels that he is only one step away from success, and there is no reason to give up.

Thinking of this, Meng Chang calmed down and decided to continue the original plan.

Although President Pei made some restrictions on him, he did not completely restrict death, but still reserved some maneuverable space. Meng Chang felt that he could operate it again.
