Chapter 246 Venture Capital is Here

"What do you think?" Zhang Yiyi adjusted his glasses and looked at several people in the company.

Several people looked at each other, and then one of them spoke: "Is it possible that the other party is deceiving us? Maybe their company is not as fast as ours?"

Seeing someone speaking, other people also spoke one after another.

Zhang Yiyi listened to the words of several people expressionlessly, knocked on the table and said, "Go and do your work first, I'll think about it later."

Others' words made his heart feel a little cold.

Everyone's focus is only on how to cooperate, and almost no one says they won't cooperate, which means everyone is a little afraid of sudden competition.

Sighing, Zhang Yiyi took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

It seems that cooperation is also on everyone’s mind.

But what they said makes sense. Cooperation is possible, but at least you need to know the other party's situation first.

Also, I have investors here, so when I go to cooperate with others, I have to convince them.

It's called cooperation, but it doesn't mean it was annexed.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone at hand.

…

Magic City.

In an office building by the Huangpu River.

Tang Wan, dressed in professional attire, was looking through a piece of information with a curious look on his face.

“Bike sharing?”

Recently, the company's marketing department reported information saying that a new startup company has appeared on the market, and its business is to operate shared bicycles.

This made Tang Wan, who had stayed in the United States for many years, very interested.

In her opinion, such an environmentally friendly idea seems more reasonable in the United States, a country where environmental protection is politically correct.

Moreover, it can be considered an Internet company, so it should be in line with the company's investment philosophy.

Looking through the information carefully, Tang Wan felt more and more that this project was interesting. No, there was a market for it.

The founding place was in Jiangcheng, and it developed to Shanghai and Yanjing within one year. This not only shows that the founder is capable, but also reflects that the company's business is in demand.

After picking up the phone and calling the marketing department to ask a few questions, Tang Wan made a decision after talking for a while.

After all, it’s what I think, so I might as well go and take a look.

As someone sent from the U.S. headquarters, although it is considered a dispatch, Tang Wan's status here is not low and he has great decision-making power.

Tang Wan, who is still relatively young, also wants to achieve great results, thinking about how to make a comeback and slap his competitors in the face.

Turning on the computer, she soon found the official website of Baike Company.

After finding the contact information, she picked up the phone and called.

…

Chen Zhihe was thinking about Zhang Yiyi in the room when his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of a phone call.

Seeing that it was Lei Jun, Chen Zhihe answered the phone.

"What's wrong, Brother Jun?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm in Yanjing."

"Why are you going to Yanjing?"

"Uh... something's wrong, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Chen Zhihe didn't say anything clearly, Lei Jun didn't ask any more questions and said happily: "Guess what I want to ask you for?"

Chen Zhihe smiled and said: "I can't guess, but it must be a good thing."

Lei Jun chuckled: "An investment institution has contacted us and wants to talk to us."

Chen Zhihe was overjoyed after hearing this. This was really a double happiness.

"Do you know where it comes from?"

Lei Jun said: "I didn't ask in detail, but the other party said it was an American investment institution."

Chen Zhihe thought for a while and said, "When did the other party come? Are you going to Jiangcheng?"

Lei Jun said: "I said I would come here next week, but I don't rule out coming in advance to get a feel for it."

Chen Zhihe thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you hold on tight first, and I'll rush back as soon as possible."

Lei Jun seemed a little excited and asked: "Then shall we prepare?"

Chen Zhihe said: "That's not necessary. Since the other party has notified us, we probably understand what we need to know, but the temporary preparation has fallen behind."

Lei Jun nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Then just do what you want and wait for the other party to come. Then go back as soon as possible."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhihe had a smile on his face.

It seems that the strategy of Shanghai Modu and Yanjing is right. Only in these cities can we attract the attention of the limelight.

In essence, the development speed of shared bicycles is directly proportional to investment. As an asset-heavy industry, the more venture capital money, the better.

Chen Zhihe jumped on the bed a little excitedly. He couldn't believe that he was truly blessed by his ancestors.

I just went to have my hair delivered at the beginning of this year, and the effect is so obvious.

Of course, this is just a joke. Chen Zhihe knows whether there is a market for shared bicycles and whether there are prospects. He believes that it is impossible for those keen investors to not have reacted yet.

After a while, Chen Zhihe calmed down after the excitement passed.

After all, shared bicycles are short-lived. Although they appeared a few years earlier, it is unclear whether its fate can be changed.

But Byte has become the number one unicorn in the world, so we can’t sacrifice our roots to compete for the bottom.

The right way is to trap Zhang Yiyi first.

Cao Cao was about to arrive. Just as Chen Zhihe was thinking about it, Zhang Yiming's phone call came.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, have you made a decision so quickly?"

Chen Zhihe was a little surprised. It only took him half a day to figure it out.

Zhang Yiyi said calmly: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I have thought about it and we can cooperate, but we have to discuss how to cooperate."

As he spoke, Zhang Yiyi sighed inwardly.

He just made several calls, all of whom were acquaintances in the industry. They all had one thing in common - Yanda Computer came out.

Over the years, I have accumulated some contacts. I dare not say anything else. It is very simple to inquire about some things.

Through one of them, Zhang Yiyi verified what Chen Zhihe said.

The other party was very familiar with someone from Liu Cheng'an's team, so he made a phone call and casually asked about the situation, and then figured it out.

Fortunately, Liu Chengan is very efficient. Chen Zhihe just finished talking to him yesterday. He immediately held a meeting with the team and put the target product on Toutiao.com.

Originally, their core code was almost complete, and the application was not technically difficult. When the other party asked, the person in the team said that the product would be out soon.

After hearing the news, Zhang Yiyi gave up his last fantasy and decided to cooperate.

Immediately afterwards, he contacted the investors, and after some explanations, the investors had no choice but to agree.

After all, real money is invested, and in this situation, even if Zhang Yiyi doesn't agree to cooperate, they will still ask for cooperation.

There may still be rewards for cooperation, but not as high as before; if you don't cooperate, you may lose everything.

As investors, they don’t care what your founder thinks.

Chen Zhihe was very happy when he heard Zhang Yiming's answer. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhang is indeed a smart man and made a wise choice. Well, you contact them first and I will come forward later."

.”

Zhang Yiyi said "hmm" and said: "Okay, then I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Chen Zhihe laughed and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
