Chapter 357 Niu San
Things were not smooth sailing. Some disharmonious voices appeared in the media, questioning that Kangsheng's valuation was too high, and Sina Finance was one of them.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't take this situation seriously, and the doubts from the outside world would not have much impact. The valuation was a balloon blown out of thin air, and it had no practical significance except to affect the financing amount.
To put it bluntly, before determining the market share, the valuation of a startup company depends entirely on the ability of the leader to fool investors.
Whether it is 100 million or 10 million US dollars, in addition to being able to make a name for itself, it will not benefit the company at all. On the contrary, the higher the valuation, the higher the performance requirements, and the greater the pressure on the team.
Chen Qiaoshan knew in his heart that from the moment the news was disclosed, Kang Sheng became the focus of attention of countless people. If he was screwed up, he would definitely become a laughing stock in Zhongguancun.
It is still beneficial to the big name. In just two days, Liu Chang finalized the leasing agreement of Rongke Information Center.
Looking at the newly revised lease contract, Chen Qiaoshan was quite satisfied. The rent was still reduced. This is normal. Zhongguancun is full of construction sites, and the industry is in a downturn, so it is not surprising that the price cuts are reduced.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Qiaoshan suddenly found a problem, "Why is the lease term four years?"
Liu Chang asked with a smile: "Why, is it longer or shorter?"
Chen Qiaoshan knew the trend of housing prices. At most, the real estate market in Yanjing will explode in one year, and the Internet will enter the web2.0 era. The entire industry will recover, and rental prices will naturally rise.
The lease price on the contract is less than half of the historical high in 2002. This means that in the industry is in a downturn, the four-year lease contract, although it has increased from the third year, can save the company a large amount of budget.
Chen Qiaoshan was naturally happy when he made a profit in this business. He smiled and said, "Of course it's short. If I can sign for ten or eight years, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."
Liu Chang replied angrily: "You stand and speak without a pain in your back. They are only willing to sign for three years. It's hard to convince them. Don't say I didn't remind you. Just you can do this so hard. It's hard to say whether the company can last for three years. The owners probably have the same idea, so they agreed to sign a contract with us."
After all, Rongke Information Center is the core area of Zhongguancun, and its rent is definitely the first in the same period. In the case of a recession in the entire industry, occupancy rate is a key issue to maintain the level of office buildings, and it is reasonable to lower the capital threshold.
Liu Chang was doubtful about the company's prospects, but Chen Qiaoshan did not have this concern. Although his performance pressure was not small, he still had the intention to make fun of him, "Don't worry, our valuation is over 100 million, and I'm afraid we can't last four years?"
Liu Chang couldn't laugh at all. There was nothing else, but the problem of funds. "Boss Chen, the contract was signed, the deposit has not been paid yet. The two-month rent plus management fee, as well as the procurement and partition fees for office equipment, get the money!"
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to deal with money immediately and never drag you down." Chen Qiaoshan was not worried about the funding issue. When he thought of relocation, he explained: "When you are partitioning, you should take an open office area as before."
Liu Chang asked, "Then how do you arrange your office?"
"I don't work, there are no special requirements. Ten square meters are enough. You and Brother Dai's office do not need to refer to my standards. You can put some effort into the conference room and the reception room, and there is also a rest area for employees." Chen Qiaoshan and Dai Zhikang communicated, and the team was preparing to expand to a 100-person scale. After all, the company is still in its infancy. In order to save money, it only rented 500 square meters, but the necessary facilities are still needed.
Liu Chang couldn't help but sigh, "This is called no requirement. According to your requirements, how much office area is left? It will definitely be squeezed into a vegetable market in the future."
Chen Qiaoshan also knew it was a bit difficult. According to the standard of 100 people, it was indeed a little smaller. "It will only be two years since I persevered. When the company got on track, I would definitely have to rent a place. Then I will have to set up a luxury office for you."
After a pause, Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Put more time, the company has prepared a 5% option pool, and you will definitely have one."
Liu Chang didn't like this at all, "You can just mess with Zhou Zhengning. Don't draw cakes for me. It's better to raise my salary than to get options. Forget it, if you don't listen to your foolings, I have to go to Zhongguancun Management Committee."
When she came, she turned around and said, "You are the typical Huang Shiren."
Although it is very valuable, but Liu Chang ignored it. Chen Qiaoshan is helpless. In a startup company, such things are normal. They lack funds and want to use options to retain talents. But options are not money after all, and it is hard to tell whether they can be cashed out.
Although Kangsheng's valuation is high enough, options do not attract much attention. Except for Chen Qiaoshan, no one knows how far Kangsheng can persist.
The company is not well-managed, and options are just a piece of waste paper. As the financing continues, the options pool expands, and the initial options are also diluted. Whether they can be cashed is still unknown. It can only be said that they are better than nothing, and it is not very attractive.
...
In the afternoon, Chen Qiaoshan arrived at Tianyi Securities.
Upon hearing the news, Wang Wei personally greeted him and said first as soon as he met: "Mr. Chen, you are such a rare guest. It is really not easy to see you."
This behavior surprised the employee of Tianyi Securities on the side. This immediate boss has a very background. He didn't see him greet him in person when he came. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but talk in a low voice, and there were many speculations about the identity of the visitor.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't have any special feeling. He borrowed a large amount of usury loan, which was handled by Wang Wei. The handling fee in the middle was not very high, but he made money by his ability. Chen Qiaoshan naturally would not have any objection. "Director Wang, I'm so polite. If this continues, I won't dare to come to the door in the future."
Wang Wei smiled and said, "I went back to Yongcheng a few days ago and brought some Wanghai tea here. This is a specialty of our hometown. It is not common in the north. Let's go and go to my office. Let's talk while tasting tea."
The two communicated in advance, and Wang Wei knew Chen Qiaoshan’s purpose. As soon as he entered the office, he didn’t say anything else and directly got to the point: “Brother Chen, now is not the time to take action. With the current trend, the stock price must still have room for growth.”
Chen Qiaoshan said: "I want to wait too, but now I'm tight, and you know that I still owe a lot of usury, and the interest rate alone is not a small amount."
Wang Wei was speechless. This was just an excuse. He was in charge of the account. He knew Chen Qiaoshan’s wealth very well. Excluding capital allocation and interest, this guy was already worth tens of millions of dollars. It was really enviable.
After thinking about it, Wang Wei asked softly: "Brother, we are not outsiders. Please tell me a briefing. Is the future market in Tunhe not possible?"
"I can't say it well, but it's better to withdraw early at this stage." Chen Qiaoshan said half-truely. He is not stupid. Judging from Wang Wei's expression, he is likely to have a heavy position in ST Tunhe in private.
Although this approach violates professional ethics, Chen Qiaoshan did not say that the stock market is now known as the Black Gold Age, and it is not surprising that such a thing happened at all.
Wang Wei still didn't give up, but Chen Qiaoshan didn't say anything at all. In the fame and fortune, no one was a good man and a trustworthy woman. The two sides were just cooperative relationships. There was no need to do this, and in the end, they had to give up.
After chatting for a while, the two of them discussed a specific clearance plan, and Chen Qiaoshan stood up and said goodbye.
Wang Wei personally sent Chen Qiaoshan out: "Brother Chen, I will definitely help you complete this time. You don't have to worry about the bank. We will handle the procedures properly. If you have the chance in the future, I hope we can cooperate again."
In Wang Wei's opinion, the person in front of him is also one of the most popular ones. In just half a year, he has sold out tens of millions of dollars for 100,000 yuan. It is also a legend to tell him.
