Reborn, I am a trendsetter

When Rebus came, Zhang Xuhao and others showed great respect for this senior, while Cai Yu and the other three couldn't help but have their thoughts moved. Who doesn't want more investors?

Rebus has seen a lot of idealist states. These three are still very immature. Their entrepreneurial thoughts are there, and their abilities are reflected in the chat. However, their mentality towards entrepreneurship is still too simple.

Just wanting to make good games for Chinese players is too naive, at least from an investor's perspective.

Wei Tao showed a strong interest. Rebus and Zhang Xuhao chatted more speculatively. Seeing that the development of Ele.me has reached a bottleneck period and more funds are needed to expand the market, despite Rebus's words, it was nothing. Technical barriers will lead to plagiarism and imitation, and there is no good way to deal with such things.

But when Zhang Xuhao actually stood in front of him, they chatted and found that many things were in common. When investing, you cannot think that every project you invest in is a big profit. Some projects that can obviously bring profits will also become Optional target.

In Wei Tao's office, he had a great time chatting with these three people. Although he was not a senior game fan, he was just like ordinary children born in the 1980s. He started from Nintendo and went all the way to computer games, and he had his own way of thinking about games. understanding and preferences.

He doesn't talk about technology or anything with these three people. They want to talk about feelings and ideals, so he talks to them about this. He doesn't hide his investment intention. Now Wei Tao wants more shares. He knows that any A talent start-up company is unlikely to hand over control rights, and the shares are given as little as possible, but they are different because they encounter obstacles everywhere, and in the early stage, according to their ideas, a large amount of capital investment is required to realize them. Their thinking is that in the short term, there is no profit point at all, and their psychological expectations are not that high.

Wei Tao also heard it. If his idea of ​​increasing investment was recognized by them, it would mean that he would recognize the value of their dreams. The change would probably be that in the early stages of starting a business, he would not think about making profits at all. , even later than the profit point generated in memory.

Because they are forced to give up a certain amount of idealism and make a less-than-perfect game when they have insufficient funds, which is their fate.

And with his own appearance, it is very likely that this fate will be broken, otherwise it will not be in line with the current personality.

Wei Tao wanted 51% and then signed the official documents. He was not willing to accept all the technical aspects of the company. He knew that this was a bit whimsical. Even in the early stages of starting a business with insufficient strength, he did not want to become a laborer. People with ability would never do it. He would accept such an investment request simply because he thought about it.

Eating in the evening is still not the focus. The characteristics of game tech nerds, eating whatever food and drinking wine are a waste of time.

After hitting the wall many times, they couldn't wait to get the money. Because they had hit the wall before, they had already planned to shrink their ideas and had no investment. The first step was to find a way to get the funds from the Shanghai University Student Entrepreneurship Support Program to establish a company. Then step by step, while improving the technology, find ways to make the value of the technology visible to others, and then get investment step by step.

"I don't have to care about technology, and I don't have to affect your plans for company development, but I think if my people are willing to contribute in personnel, you will be very happy."

"I can continue to provide you with capital to start a business, including any technical capital you need. You can play with confidence and boldness."

"I can ensure that for a long period of time, you don't need to talk about financing at all. You just need to feel free to do what you want to do. At least until the first product comes out, you will not be disturbed."

"If you want to poach people, you can find classmates, or you can buy some copyrights and technology from others. It's all up to you. I'm only responsible for providing funds and the help you want."

Wei Tao knows some negotiation skills, but he never uses them. He has already established his own personality. Everyone knows that he is an angel investor who invests according to circumstances. He is rich and willful, and he meets people with good eyesight.

project, even the investigation aspect is very Buddhist.

Over the past few years, this young investor has invested in a large number of young people's entrepreneurial projects in the Internet industry. According to current statistics, most of them have failed, and some are half-dead. He seems to be a failed investor, but in fact he only has one or two projects.

For each project, he invested in the angel round and seed round in the early stages of his business. He invested a small amount of money and produced a large amount of output. In one fell swoop, he made back all the investment funds wasted on each project.

If Cai Yu and the others are entrepreneurs with idealistic sentiments, then Wei Tao is an investor recognized by everyone as willing to pay for their sentiments and ideals. In some sour words, he is a typical 'philanthropic' investor. As long as you

If you are eloquent, as long as you can catch his pulse, you can get investment from him, and get investment more than once.

It's easy to make money from him.

Everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed. Wei Tao never drags his feet, which is boring. He already has a character, so just follow his own character, which will save trouble and make it less likely to arouse other people's suspicions.

[That’s what Mr. Wei is like. When discussing business with him, it’s best to be straightforward and don’t beat around the bush.]

"Mr. Wei, at most, 45%."

An unexpected surprise came. In fact, Wei Tao's inner bottom line was 30% the same as Ele.me, but he ignored one thing, that is, these three had hit the wall many times, had no hair on their mouths, were too young, etc.

When people say they want to make games, it is easy to give the impression that they are playing games in the name of entrepreneurship. In recent years, there have been countless people shouting similar slogans.

How many families have children tell their parents that they want to learn computers, but what happens? They just find an official excuse to play games.

How many young students who have just entered college hope to buy a computer for their families? The real purpose is to have a tool for watching war movies and playing games.

In recent years, people who chant similar slogans to start a business have begun to become a group that is not trusted. Cai Yu and the other two are different. They understand technology and have dreams, but the cost of their dreams is too high. Any one of them can do it in a short time.

How do you expect a project that has no internal results, no profit points, and is very traditional and has no new ideas to be popular in the environment of the rapid development of the Internet? Even if there are some discerning people, they will try their best to create a "I don't want to invest in you"

Crazy squeeze behavior, and finally "reluctantly" took out some money.

Wei Tao's personality, reputation, and commitment all play a role. These three are not stupid. Regarding Wei Tao's promises, they all hope that what Wei Tao promises will be on paper, and they also have confidence in Wei Tao's relatively mature investment team and company.

, I am very interested in helping them build the company framework and deal with some non-technical trivial matters.

It can be said that Mr. Wei is the perfect investor and the best partner in their minds.

He is young. This is what everyone has in common. There is no need to worry about being mistrusted in this regard in the future. Over the years, facts have proven that he is definitely not a partner that people will regret. Whatever he has promised, no matter whether it is on paper or not

, all obeyed faithfully.

The people from Rebus are here. Regarding the transfer of shares in Duowan by Mr. Wei, all the parties involved were present. Rebus himself admitted that Wei Tao was wronged. It was his generosity and pattern that made it happen.

During the critical period of development of Duowan, there was no major internal strife.

"It doesn't matter to me. We don't agree with each other if we don't agree with each other. Besides, I got the value that I'm satisfied with. I'm a very talkative person no matter how much you give me." If someone thinks that this person is very talkative, then it's a big joke.

Rebus smiled and shook his head: "You still suffer a loss. When it goes public, the value will be better."

Wei Tao smiled and said nothing, as if he recognized the pattern of his losses. In fact, he wanted to say directly that Wai Wai is now the main body of Duowan, the most valuable part, and Li Xueliang has indeed put all his energy into it.

At this point, it's just that I'm currently too confident.

When the valuation of 'Duowan' was so high that it exceeded its listed market value, Wei Tao was shocked. He was dumbfounded. He read a lot of surrounding information and tried hard to recall the 'rebirth memories' about it in his mind, but none of them were accurate.

He used memory points to prove it, but based on the analysis results brought by the data and Mohu memory, there was no conclusive argument. He just gave his own answer.

At one time, he thought that it was his participation that allowed 'Waiwai' to come out early, occupy the market in advance, have better development, and maybe have better prospects after it goes public. After some analysis, he saw that this kind of thing is really popular abroad.

The market was deserted. I vaguely remember that it was before the listing of Duowan. It seemed that Facebook had lost a certain amount of points in the hearts of users and also hurt the hearts of investors.

That's why he has that "pattern". Otherwise, if his temper breaks out, we will all die together. Softbank and Thousand Oaks didn't do anything to me. Li Xueliang, you are nothing.

During this period of time, he didn't pay attention to Duowan at all. After listening to Rebus' chat, he felt that the advantage he had given to Waiwai in advance was not shown at all, and some of his skill trees were even distorted.

It feels like Li Xueliang actually wants to create a 'Waiwai' audio and video viewing platform, to be ahead of other platforms with real-time interaction in the live broadcast room.

He didn't want to say a word, and he only had 5% left. Even if it really didn't work out in the end, he could still sell back the investment capital, and the previous $100 million would be a pure profit.

The character has a good image and his character has been recognized. When Wei Tao showed his attitude, the young and energetic Cai Yu and the other three knew that Mr. Wei had such a temper. He was careless in doing things and was very brittle. They made a decision and made a decision.

Just sign the contract and shake hands to celebrate the successful cooperation.

The lowest line for the three people is the actual control of the company. There was an example of Ele.me before. Mr. Zhang was very successful. The financing was also invested by Mr. Wei, giving him a 30% ratio. Then when it comes to us

A startup team with nothing is still a money-burning project, so giving 45% is the most sincerity they can show.

Elite college students have their own plans. 4% is to attract elite talents. Cai Yu has 21%, and the two of them have 15%. The three of them can actually control the company with a stable 51% ratio. Didn’t you, Mr. Wei, say that in

Is it possible not to raise funds before the first project comes out? When a project comes out, the entire company will be complete. When the time comes for financing, their shares will be diluted by means of different rights for the same shares and only dividend rights but no voting rights, etc.

, and can still have actual control over the company.

In the past, Wei Tao might have given away all his voting rights to you in order to reassure his partners. This time, he didn't. He felt that handing over the company to Guan Jinyue for management would be hers.

Opportunity, she can also grow with the company, and the probability of problems with these three people is not high. In the later stage, when the company succeeds and the company becomes larger, she is not afraid of conflicts.

Wei Tao has made limited progress in other things over the years, but the speed of progress in one thing is beyond imagination.

human nature.

There is no Iron Triangle that cannot be dismantled. If one day in the future, it is necessary to fall apart and suffer a bloody blow, he will not mind trying every means to dig out the corners of this Iron Triangle.

He actually doesn't believe that the three of them will always hold the shares without transferring them in exchange for cash to change their lives. No matter how successful the company is and how much revenue it generates, it is not personal property. It is not a particularly large size and revenue, and the money from dividends

It can't change your life.

Once the financing model is launched, Wei Tao does not believe that the three of them can bear it without transferring some value to change their material lives without being forced to hold 51% of the shares.

It’s okay to fight or not to fight.

It’s okay to be friends, or it’s okay to be competitors in the market.

Wei Tao asked Guan Jinyue to come back and hand it over to her. He thought that his true destiny company had arrived before, but after an afternoon, he suddenly thought that by the time MiHoYo started, he should have achieved financial freedom.

At that time, do you still need to care about whether there is a potential company that you can become a market maker? If it is really beyond the time period for your own rebirth, will you be able to accurately judge the correct strategic development direction for this company?

Who can tell what will happen in the future? Maybe by then I will have grown to the level of an Internet boss and be able to easily control the company's development; or maybe I will lose heart by then.

He was satisfied, but Guan Jinyue was dissatisfied. She didn't say anything about the project after she came back, but she was very unwilling to accept Wei Tao's generosity. According to her idea, for such a company and three entrepreneurs, I would give

You invest, I give you a platform to realize your dreams, I give you a certain amount of authority, and we talk about shares, etc. If I open a company and give you some technology stocks, that's good.

Even if you don't care, you can just invest one or two million, which is five million in one issue!

Looking at Wei Tao, Guan Jinyue felt that his head was very big. She felt that it was necessary to talk to him and show it to outsiders. He didn't know how to refuse, and others couldn't follow him to pluck the wool by himself.

Now even game developers are coming to him for investment. How could he be deceived and unconditionally inject funds for research and development in the early stage?

"Brother, are you sure you're not kidding? Do you know how much it costs to develop a game, even if it's just skinning or having a basic foundation? Do you know how much it costs?"

Facing Guan Jinyue's questioning, Wei Tao stared at the screen, holding the mouse in his hand, and was controlling the characters in the "Zhengtu" game. He purchased inlaid gems at a high price. He entrusted Liu Lei and the others to purchase and then trade them.

give him.

He reached out, grabbed Guan Jinyue's hand, held it in his hand, and grinned: "You talk to them, but don't get so angry. For things like cooperation, at this stage, suffering is a blessing. We lead and

They lead, and there are two different concepts for entrepreneurial development. We lead, and they are taking advantage of the big players; they lead, and those who have dreams are their own dreams to realize, and they have no idea of ​​taking advantage of the big players, not to mention the money from the second and third phases.

, don’t we have to check the progress of game development? If it’s really bad, then let’s talk about it.”

Guan Jinyue's aura is getting stronger and stronger now. She can no longer see the small transparent image with bangs and hair on the door curtain. She no longer bends her waist, lowers her head, and no longer covers her face.

No longer will I deliberately hide my plump peaks, and no longer will my talents be deliberately restrained.

In high school, I studied hard for exams just to have a stepping stone.

I originally thought about achieving a reversal in college and starting a new life after graduation. However, after meeting Wei Tao, I completely reset all my plans. I started working as an investor before graduating from college, and now I have become an investment banker.

She is a well-known person. Last year alone, she invested in as many as thirty-eight projects, with an investment of more than 50 million.

Of course, such a figure is incomparable to those of big investment banks, and is just a drop in the bucket. But as an angel investor who supports young people to start their own businesses, she and Wei Tao are already very famous in the circle for their enthusiasm for Internet projects. It seems that

Zhang Xuhao brought Cai Yu and others over, and there were many people who had traveled thousands of miles to come.

Mr. Wei is easy to talk to, but Mr. Guan is hard to talk to.

A similar understanding has already spread throughout the entire circle. Facing Guan Jinyue, Cai Yu and the others could not be said to have struggled to resist. It should be said that they could not resist at all. Fortunately, with Zhang Xuhao here, Guan Jinyue was involved in all the previous developments of Ele.me.

.

Her emotional quotient and IQ, and women have innate advantages, did not have any disputes with Zhang Xuhao's team. On the contrary, every time Zhang Xuhao called Wei Tao, he was full of praises, and the same thing happened when he pulled Wei Tao to drink heavily.

He also said that some of his peers had said that Wei Tao was not worthy of Guan Jinyue.

Wei Tao has never worried about Guan Jinyue being pursued by some people in the Yanjing Demon City. Let’s not talk about her heart. No one can get into her heart. Even if she shamelessly uses some despicable means, there is no telling whether it will work. Don’t be fooled by her.

If someone is deceived by his appearance and is killed by him, then it must be said that he is lucky.

Wei Tao took Rebus and Zhang Xuhao to have a big drink. The latter still had a business about eating, drinking and having fun. His arrival also made the drinking game between Wei Tao and Rebus suddenly enter a manic stage.

.

On the other side, Guan Jinyue and Cai Yu discussed the specific details. The result was that one day later, Cai Yu and the others saw Wei Tao as if they were relatives. The three of them still had a little emotion. After all, they were young and energetic, and they would feel aggrieved.

Change, facing the feeling of being crushed by peers in all aspects, is very uncomfortable. Even in their strongest skills, they do not find any sense of superiority over the other party.

When they first started talking to Guan Jinyue, the three of them paid more attention to how beautiful and charming she was. In addition to admiring her, before talking about business, they still had a sense of superiority, thinking that beautiful women are just vases that look good in the company, so they took them out.

Go and have face.

When the conversation officially started, the three of them could only cover up the stunned expressions that might appear. After the man's dignity was challenged, they began to fight back with their strongest areas. As a result, Guan Jinyue on the opposite side, talking about the specific technical level,

They are equally proficient and have unique ideas when it comes to developing core concepts. The three of them admire them very much.

Comparing the learning environment and pressure in high school, Guan Jinyue feels so happy now. She only studies things she is willing to learn and is interested in. Unlike studying in high school, no matter whether you don't like it or not, you still have to study for the sake of scores.

Time is tight, but learning never stops. Now Guan Jinyue is like a trapeze artist. Otherwise, she would ride to and from various projects in big cities every day. The road is the best time for her to study. With her IQ and efficiency

, many things can be learned to a professional level through self-study and corresponding professional consultation, and supplemented by one's own understanding ability and rich experience, the level of what is said is so high, someone once said,

If Mr. Guan went to Mr. Wei to discuss the project, it is estimated that ten projects would become ten, and all the money in Mr. Wei's hands would be invested in Mr. Guan's projects.

Guan Jinyue did not explain this. She knew that Wei Tao did not like to appear in the spotlight, so since he is a lucky person, let everyone keep their understanding of him in this dimension.

………………

After seeing off Rebus, Zhang Xuhao and others, the New Year was approaching quietly, and Wei Tao had to get busy again.

It's the end of the year, and there are some relationships that need to be moved around. Normally, you don't want to disturb him, so if you call and invite him at this time, he can't refuse.

Fortunately, if he doesn't want to drink heavily now, after expressing his refusal, few people can still hug him and hug him to express his deep feelings. He drinks in moderation every day. In order to satisfy the interests of some friends, he drinks more.

To some extent, Wei Tao also had to use other entertainment methods.

It is normal to go with the flow. What he can do is not to do anything that crosses the boundaries in his own place. With Fu Xin, Fu Tiesheng and others' familiarity with the entire city, these two will help to advance all the scenes that require him to host.

Prepare.

Except when he is hosting, he always behaves very low-key in order to leave quietly in the second half. It is not a matter of pretending to be a good person, but a matter of quality. This is not a matter of being used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas but trying crude food. It is a matter of being honest.

It's hard to have an appetite.

Others will think it's unnecessary, and if they don't like it, they won't participate. With your current name as Mr. Wei, how much face do you have to give to anyone?

This is actually not the case. Wei Tao is not tired of similar occasions. On the contrary, he quite likes having fun. A group of friends who don't interact much in real life, but can't be said to be unfamiliar, drink some wine.

Chatting for a while, you can always hear something new and see all kinds of people and things.

Looking at Wang Shaochao, a real estate executive from the provincial capital, who is in his fifties, has a sausage mouth, a thick-lined face, a bald head, and a big belly as if he was ten months pregnant, you can imagine that he wears suits and ties during the day, and when he goes to the nightclub at night, he can talk to young people.

Same, go to the dance floor and dance?

It's nothing like this. He can still chat up young girls. This makes Wei Tao admire him very much. He is such a great person. He doesn't discuss behavior and people, only the mentality of others. If he reaches fifty years old, he can be so young and so beautiful.

Have a fun-loving attitude?

Wei Tao was sitting on the sofa with a card bag, his left arm resting on the armrest of the sofa, and his chin resting on his left palm. He looked at Mr. Wang Shaochao dancing on the dance floor and chatting up the nightclub girl leading the dance on the small stage. He couldn't help but laugh.

The influence is also a bit eager to try. I am still young. I am not as young as Mr. Wang. I should have fun and have fun. Does the identity of Mr. Wei mean that I have to sit on the sofa with an upright posture? It is not suitable to come to this nightclub.

Do other young people have the same 'stirring' night?

Just as he was about to get up and relax, he saw Wang Shaochao pushing and shoving...
