Mr. Liu has also been worrying about funds recently.
Although I have tried hard to budget carefully, the money is still not enough.
So where the money comes from has become a very confusing question.
I have already received a sum of funds from Tenda, but have not produced any results. I am really embarrassed to ask for it again.
But if you don’t get money from Tenda, it will be harder to get money from other places.
In the end, he didn’t expect that when he was struggling, He Desheng took the initiative to come to him and wanted to chase him. This was really heartwarming!
This means that Tenda is optimistic about this project, both in terms of funding and confidence, and it has given everyone a shot in the arm.
So, Mr. Liu was deeply moved and expressed his gratitude to He Desheng.
He Desheng smiled: "Oh, there is no need to thank me specifically, I just follow Mr. Pei's regulations."
Mr. Liu on the other side of the phone quickly said: "I understand. , in short, thank you so much! Thank you Mr. Pei and Mr. He for your support and trust in our company!”
“My staff and I will work harder!”
He Desheng gave another Two small companies that had no hope of profit and wanted to pursue investment made calls. These companies were all overjoyed and moved.
Because in their opinion, this behavior of Tenda and Dream Ventures is really heartwarming!
Although the situations of these small companies are different, and the probability of project success is also high or low, the vast majority of them really want to complete the project.
Because the finances of these companies are all supervised by Tengda, there is nothing fishy to do, and everyone's interests are the same. If the project succeeds, not only the investors will make money, but the company boss and all employees will also make money.
In this situation of shortage of funds, Tenda once again generously donated money, which is of course a very touching thing.
Finally, He Desheng dialed Meng Chang’s phone number.
"Hello? Mr. He!" Meng Chang's enthusiastic voice sounded on the other side of the phone.
He Desheng couldn't help but sigh. In the eyes of others, Meng Chang is really a perfect entrepreneur.
Excellent personal image, good eloquence, contagious speech, strong execution ability, long-term vision, and always full of energy. He will devote 100% of his energy to work at any time...< /p>
These advantages are all concentrated in one person. Even if there is a small flaw, most investors will subconsciously ignore it.
He Desheng said: "Mr. Meng, congratulations. Mr. Pei has decided to invest another six million for the cold-faced girl."
On the other end of the phone, Meng Chang was slightly stunned. , and then became ecstatic.
Finally!
Finally got Mr. Pei’s follow-up investment!
Since establishing the cold noodle brand, Meng Chang has worked hard, from the initial PPT to the subsequent development.From press conferences to recent stores and various marketing events...
We have done so much just to impress investors!
Among all these investors, Meng Chang cares most about Mr. Pei. Because Mr. Pei is a genius investor, as long as he can get Mr. Pei’s investment, it will be easy to get other people’s investment!
In fact, so far, many investors have approached Meng Chang privately and want to invest in the cold-faced girl.
But Meng Chang did not agree.
Because in his opinion, the conditions of these investors are too harsh.
Some require too many shares, some require a gambling agreement, and some require the signing of investment terms that include agreements such as investors’ right of first sale and restrictions on the transfer of founders’ shares.
The so-called right of first sale means that the investor and the founder agree that if a third party purchases equity from the founder, under the same conditions, the investor has the right of first sale; while the equity transfer restriction refers to , it is agreed that the founders shall not sell their shares before the company reaches a certain stage (such as IPO or merger and acquisition).
In layman’s terms, it means restricting founders from selling shares to cash out.
This is actually a very common phenomenon, because for investors, investing in projects means investing in people. If they invest money and push up the company's valuation, but the founder cashes out and leaves the company, what then? Ensure that the company continues to develop rapidly?
Of course, investors hope that founders will always live a hard life, 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 reason I go to all this trouble is to cash out, but you don’t let me cash out, is that okay?
Is it possible that I really have to work hard for you all my life?
So, Meng Chang did not accept this condition, but was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to increase his voice.
If the company develops too fast and becomes a piece of cake, and countless investors want to get a piece of the pie, then investors will naturally rush to invest, and Meng Chang will no longer need to sign these restrictive contracts. terms.
Mr. Pei’s follow-up investment is a good opportunity.
Because Mr. Pei is an investment benchmark in the eyes of many people, Mr. Pei has invested 6 million in the cold-faced girl. This is a clear signal that someone will definitely follow and sign some more relaxed ones. terms.
This is a crucial step for Meng Chang!
Because his money burns through quickly, if he runs out of money halfway through, he will be in a very embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, Mr. Pei took action!
Meng Chang suppressed the joy in his heart: "Thank you Mr. He, thank you Mr. Pei, I will definitely..."
Before he finished speaking, He Desheng gave him a Interrupted: "Don't worry, Pei always has conditions."
"The condition is that Tengda pursues the investment of six million.It must be kept strictly confidential and no information can be disclosed to the outside world. This is considered a confidentiality clause in the investment agreement and cannot be violated. "
Meng Chang: "? "
His mood was originally in a state of ecstasy. When he heard this moment, he was knocked unconscious as if he had been hit in the head.
Keep it secret?
Why?
Meng Chang felt puzzled.
If it were other investors, they would usually restrict the founder from selling shares, but Meng Chang boldly judged that Mr. Pei would not do this. , because Mr. Pei never seemed to have arranged similar terms when investing.
That's why he paid so much attention to Mr. Pei's investment.
Facts have proved that his speculation was correct. Yes, Mr. Pei did not put forward similar restrictions, but he never expected that Mr. Pei would have requirements for confidentiality!
This is a hit on Meng Chang's weakness. It is not fatal, but it is. It's very uncomfortable!
Does Meng Chang need this money? Of course he does, but his purpose is not just to let the cold noodle girl spend another month or two, but to gain leverage. More investors’ funds will push up the company’s valuation.
In other words, this matter must be communicated to investors before it can be valuable.
Otherwise it will just be valuable. The dry six million is just to let the cold-faced girl burn money for a while.
However, Meng Chang has no reason not to accept the money.
Because. The total amount of money does not restrict the founders from selling their shares for cash, which is much better than the conditions offered by other investors.
Besides, the appearance of the cold-faced girl is still there. To continue to hold on, money must continue to burn, and the capital chain cannot be broken. Once it is broken, the show will not be able to continue.
So, this money just stuck in Bi Mengchang's psychological bottom line. A slightly higher position, a pity to abandon, tasteless to eat.
On the other side of the phone, He Desheng asked: "Is there any problem? "
Meng Chang reacted quickly and said quickly: "No problem! ”
He Desheng didn’t say much. He just encouraged him to work harder and hung up the phone.
Meng Chang took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face. Worry.
After several previous experiences, Meng Chang has become very clear that bargaining on this kind of issue is meaningless. Mr. Pei’s one-sided character makes it impossible to give him a chance to bargain. .
If you don’t take this money now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get it in the future. Compared with other money that has to be restricted from selling shares, it is more comfortable to hold this money.
Meng Chang couldn't help feeling that Mr. Pei was indeed unfathomable. From the moment he started dealing with him until now, every move he made seemed to make him uncomfortable!
When Meng Chang first received the investment, he was so unfathomable! I have to accept Tengda’s financial assignment; now the second investment must be kept confidential.
If we rate satisfaction, then Meng Chang’s satisfaction level will be the highest every time.Around 60.
If this score had been lower, Meng Chang might have given up, and the brand Cold Noodle Girl would never have existed.
Mr. Pei can get this and the score just right, stepping on Meng Chang's psychological bottom line and letting him start a business, but he always makes some restrictions in some seemingly insignificant places. , making Meng Chang feel very uncomfortable.
What worries Meng Chang most now is that he doesn’t know if his thoughts have been seen through by President Pei?
Are these restrictions that Mr. Pei has placed on himself, or are they for all investors?
Meng Chang knew very well that at the last press conference, Mr. Pei sent Mr. Ma to beat him up. This kind of fighting between masters is like playing Tai Chi. They only click on each other, and they will never do it. It’s too much, but it’s definitely not something that’s missing the mark.
Mr. Pei's series of actions made Meng Chang feel like an extremely calm wolf, following him from a distance.
It seems careless, but it makes people feel scared.
The wolf might just be passing by and not hurt him, but it might also suddenly accelerate and jump out in the next second, throwing him to the ground and biting his throat.
Mr. Pei's aloof approach always kept a certain distance from Meng Chang, neither infringing on his core interests nor giving up the threat to him.
I feel a little shuddering, but I always doubt myself, wondering if it is an illusion.
This is contradictory.
But at this point, Meng Chang felt that he was only one step away from success and had no reason to give up.
Thinking of this, Meng Chang calmed down and made up his mind to continue executing the original plan.
Although Mr. Pei put some restrictions on him, he did not completely restrict him to death, and still left some room for maneuver. Meng Chang felt that he could still operate it again.
