Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor

Shao Tianxiang and Zhuang Zuqin were chatting and joking. When they entered from the outside, they could not stop hearing praises for the small courtyard.

Entering the room, he immediately saw Gao Si sitting on the sofa. The laughter that had been brewing in Shao Tianxiang's throat instantly solidified, even deeper in his throat.

"He... you... why are you here?"

Seeing Shao Tianxiang looking like he had swallowed a fly, Gao Si couldn't help but feel funny.

He stood up, stretched out his right hand, and walked towards Shao Tianxiang with a smile: "Brother Tianxiang, you are here."

As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. Shao Tianxiang didn’t like Gao Si, and even hated him. But his relationship with his teacher Zhuang Tao was destined to be friends rather than enemies on the surface, no matter how much they hated him. Seeing that Gao Si treated him like an eldest brother, he also

I can only shake hands with him.

Gao Si didn't wait for Shao Tianxiang to react, and said: "Brother Tianxiang, I guess Zu Qin has already told you about the situation of fun education. I invite you here today to discuss our action strategy in detail."

Shao Tianxiang was stunned and turned to stone on the spot.

What's going on? Zhuang Zuqin didn't even tell me half a punctuation mark? Why did he start formulating an action plan?

The words had already been spoken, and even Zhuang Zuqin, who was standing behind Shao Tianxiang, blinked at Gao Si. He had not said anything to Shao Tianxiang, so he was definitely confused.

Seeing this, Gao Si smiled and said: "Brother Tianxiang, maybe Zu Qin hasn't had time to explain clearly yet. Please sit down quickly and let's talk slowly."

Gao Si's eager look has aroused Shao Tianxiang's curiosity. In terms of dealing with people, Shao Tianxiang has never lagged behind others, otherwise he would not have been able to fool investors with just a few ppts.

Shao Tianxiang had returned to normal at this time and said with a smile: "Xiaoqin really didn't make it clear to me. She just said that she had important things to talk about. I heard someone said that you intend to invest in my Optimist Auto. Since you want

Let’s talk slowly, let’s start with this matter.”

Gao Si said: "Brother Tianxiang, from my perspective, I am particularly optimistic about Optimistic Auto. Last time, CEO Gao Ronghua made an appointment with me specifically for Optimistic Auto and said that there was an opportunity to follow in the investment. I had no intention of doing so.

Without hesitation, I agreed to a follow-up investment of RMB 1 billion."

When Gao Si said this, he paused deliberately, wanting to see Shao Tianxiang's reaction.

Shao Tianxiang nodded and said: "I heard the news about this. Why do you think Optimistic Car is worthy of your investment?"

"Brother Tianxiang, to be honest, I have fallen in love with Supao and Tutushidao. These two brands are outstanding in their respective fields. You have a very good vision." At this time, Gao Si also

Not going to hide it.

Shao Tianxiang smiled slightly. But Gao Si changed the topic and said: "But now I'm not optimistic about it. I'm afraid I won't follow the investment."

"Why?" Shao Tianxiang obviously didn't expect this, and his expression was mixed with a hint of shock and anger. He thought that Gao Si's regret must have something to do with Zhuang Zuqin.

Gao Sidao: "Because the big guys who lead the investment don't follow martial ethics. I, a junior, prepared 1 billion, but they, a group of big guys, only planned to put out 200 million. Obviously, the success rate of the Optimistic Auto IPO is not high.

ah."

Shao Tianxiang pretended to be calm and forcefully explained: "Optimistic Cars has this 1.2 billion, which is enough to go to IPO. The risks you mentioned do not exist."

Gao Si waved his hand and said: "Okay, even if Optimistic Auto can succeed with its 1.2 billion IPO, I'm still not interested. Because my purpose is to build cars, not to make money. I have a better plan."

Shao Tianxiang leaned forward, made a gesture of listening, and said: "What is your plan?"

Gao Si narrowed his eyes and said, "Let the big guys leave." After saying that, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Zhuang Zuqin didn't understand, so he interjected: "Those investment giants have made several rounds of money, so why should they leave? They haven't made any money yet."

"Haha, good question. Why did they leave? Just because they finally saw a way to escape unscathed. In this round of investment, they should have made a heavy bet and guaranteed Optimistic Cars to IPO, but why did they

The total amount is only 200 million? Brother Tianxiang, have you ever thought about it?"

Shao Tianxiang is a smart man. How could he not know this? It's just that he doesn't want to admit it.

Gao Si continued: "This shows that they have a serious lack of confidence in Optimistic Auto. If they can directly redeem their shares and avoid losses without investing a penny, why wouldn't they do it?"

Shao Tianxiang shook his head and said: "Gao Si, you underestimate them too much. Once you get on the chariot of capital, you can't look back. Do you think that if you return the money to them, they will let it go? If they don't eat you up, they will wipe you clean."

Not bad.”

Gao Si smiled and said, "Not necessarily. I have a plan, but it requires your cooperation, Brother Tianxiang. I wonder if Brother Tianxiang is interested in hearing it?"

Shao Tianxiang nodded and signaled Gao Si to continue.

"Now, the amount of Optimistic Auto's D-round investment plan is 1.2 billion. You can make a development budget and prove to Gao Ronghua that the 1.2 billion is far from enough. Of course Gao Ronghua only wants to give you an IPO and doesn't want to support you."

If you want to build a car, you can tell him that I am willing to increase the investment to 2 billion and force him to make a decision."

"Then he won't invest more," Shao Tianxiang said.

"That's right. This is the most critical part of this strategy. You can declare to the outside world that Optimistic Auto is about to receive a D-round investment totaling 2.2 billion. However, I will give up the investment at the last critical moment of due diligence. In this way, 2.2 billion will become

If it reaches 2 billion, this hole must be filled by Gao Ronghua and others."

Shao Tianxiang is a man who plays with capital. When he heard this, he immediately understood Gao Si's plan. Gao Si wanted to build momentum by investing 2 billion in funds, and then cut off Gao Ronghua's retreat by withdrawing the funds.

If you want Optimistic Auto's IPO to be successful, you must make up for the funding gap. If you reduce investment, the success rate of Optimistic Auto's IPO will be greatly reduced, and the funds that the big guys have invested will be in vain.

The beauty of this strategy is that it does not come at the expense of Shao Tianxiang's credibility. Capital is behind the game from beginning to end.

Moreover, after such a round of troubles, other capital investors will also be afraid. It will be even more difficult for Gao Ronghua to deceive other institutions into investing.

Shao Tianxiang said: "If I do this, the capital will definitely not give up. They will definitely attack me. Either I will be expelled from Optimistic Cars, or I will redeem their shares. Do you want to say that you are prepared to pay this money?

Do this?"

"Brother Tianxiang is really happy. Yes, that's what I mean. How much do you think it will cost to redeem all the equity?"

Shao Tianxiang said: "I still hold 37% of the shares in Optimistic Auto. I think 600-700 million for the remaining 63% of the shares is enough. You are right, investment institutions are not individual actions, they

I am afraid of risks and will not play a game of death with entrepreneurs. But Gao Si..."

Shao Tianxiang was about to speak but stopped.

Gao Si stood up from the sofa, walked to the door, and looked out at the vegetation in the courtyard.

"Are you trying to say that as long as you do this once, you will never get money from any investment institution again?"

"That's right. No one dares to invest in disobedient entrepreneurs. Even if Optimistic Car fails, I, Shao Tianxiang, have other projects. Even if all projects fail, they will still be willing to support my new project. Why should I take it?

Are you going to bet on my future?"

Shao Tianxiang looked arrogant, and he showed his cards.

Gao Si put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Brother Tianxiang, you are Zuqin's friend, Professor Zhuang's student, and half of my senior brother. After this incident, if you have a project, you will no longer need

What kind of investment institution should you find? I will cover your venture capital investment, Gaosi."
