Chapter 444 Angel Investment
"After saying so much, I don't have any opinions on any portal. After all, they represent the past of the development of the domestic Internet and are also entrepreneurial predecessors who deserve our respect.
And the future of the Internet will be jointly controlled by everyone here.”
After going around a big circle, Chen Qiaoshan came to the point.
He knew that what he said just now would be spread without any restraint.
Even though media people may be paying attention to his unfriendly arguments to TOM, there are so many people present, saying by word of mouth, Chen Qiaoshan knows that as time goes by, his judgment on the Internet trend will surely appear one by one, and the impact will definitely be far-reaching.
“The Internet is in a major turning point today.
The main market players represented by portals have lost their ambitions, and these listed companies have focused more on boosting stock prices.
First, it’s SP business, then MMS business, or it’s a game agent, which is the current trend of portal development.”
"Of course, Mr. Zhang from Sohu spent 100 million to hold a beauty pageant. I heard that he also planned to start an entertainment company. I don't think this is what an Internet company should do."
There was another burst of laughter from the audience. These were all on the news page, and it was no secret. Everyone didn't think there was any problem here at first, but now when they look back, they feel a little awkward.
These things seem to be very unrelated to the Internet. They spend a lot of money, but they don’t have much help to Sohu’s business, and the stock price keeps falling.
Almost all the valuations of several major portals are facing a halving situation. Many people are inevitably suspicious. Portal websites are generally on the decline. Is the Internet really going to change?
Chen Qiaoshan glanced down and he could feel that many people in the front row had suspicious faces.
Apparently, his words worked.
"Let's take a look at the most important things on the Internet this year. The first thing is that Kangsheng obtains two million US dollars in venture capital in Jifu Asia. Then, the blog China obtained one million US dollars in financial funds from IDG Capital.
Then UC Langma was acquired by Sina for 36 million US dollars, and Shanda successively acquired Hao Fang and the winger..."
Chen Qiaoshan counted the recent wealth news, and at the end, he concluded: "It is not difficult to see from the above that capital is increasingly shifting towards Internet entrepreneurs, and the portal has lost its awareness of innovation and can only buy projects from entrepreneurs."
"What I want to say is that the future belongs to entrepreneurs, and this is the fundamental reason why I call this conference the Internet Entrepreneurs Conference."
"I believe everyone is familiar with Wang Wei. He just got a lot of money from Sina and became a senior employee of Sina."
There was a turmoil in the audience. It took only two years from its establishment to its acquisition by Sina, but it created a wealth myth of nearly 300 million yuan. It was shocking to think about it.
Chen Qiaoshan said to himself: "Here, I will not elaborate on the success of Langma UC, I just want to convey Wang Wei's original words to you:
Wang Wei felt sorry for the older generation of entrepreneurs, including Liu Chuanzhi, Zhang Ruimin and Ren Zhengfei.
He said that these seniors are very excellent, but their wealth is not ahead of young people, such as Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, and may even be inferior to Wang Wei, because the industry they are engaged in cannot create wealth myths like the Internet."
There was another burst of laughter from the audience, this time with a clear sense of joking.
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help laughing, Wang Wei was a little arrogant.
It is unknown how much he earned, but it is definitely not as much as Zhou Hongyi earned last year. Even Zhou Dapao dared to boast casually. This guy is proud and somewhat like a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger.
"We won't discuss how much money Wang Wei has earned today. Just to talk about the last point, Langma UC's success proves that the Internet is indeed the best wealth-making machine. I think Mr. Dai must have a deep understanding of this."
There was another burst of laughter at the venue. In the eyes of these people, Dai Zhikang was also a very wealthy successful person.
As the person who was teased, Dai Zhikang felt all kinds of feelings. He couldn't help but look at Chen Qiaoshan on the stage, feeling excited, grateful, and perhaps a little regretful.
He knew that if it weren't for Chen Qiaoshan, he wouldn't have been like this today. Perhaps he had already brought his girlfriend back to his hometown in shame and found a job to support his family with peace of mind.
But there is no best in both worlds. Dai Zhikang founded Kangsheng with one hand, but now the helm has become Chen Qiaoshan. Perhaps this is the price that success must be paid.
Chen Qiaoshan was not going to continue talking. He knew that it would be nice to listen to one-tenth of the audience. It was far less direct than to make money stimulation to some people.
"Finally, I'll say a few more words.
As the initiator of this conference, Qingshan Investment’s 2 million US dollars of financing promise will definitely be fulfilled, and this is only the first phase of the funding. At this time next year, our financing amount will at least double."
Everyone took a breath, and doubled it would cost four million US dollars and more than 30 million RMB. Many people were frightened by this promise.
"Today is the first day of the conference, and I will announce the first confirmed list first."
There was a silence in the audience, waiting for the announcement of the list. They all wanted to see which webmaster was so lucky that they were selected in the first batch.
Before attending the meeting, almost everyone was in the goal of financing. Even if the project was not approved and was second to the next level, they could still apply for a support fund.
Chen Qiaoshan took out a piece of material and said calmly: "Only two companies have been announced for the time being, the first one is Luzhi.com. The applicant Yang Bo has the financing amount of US$100,000."
Donkey Track Network?
Everyone present was insiders, and they asked each other a few questions, but no one knew about it. Obviously, this is a website with little fame, and maybe they don’t even have a domain name.
The so-called wealth is moving, and everyone present feels a little restless and impatient.
Today's $100,000 is enough for an ordinary family to live an extraordinary life.
Although the announced financing application is far inferior to the funds obtained by Kangsheng or Blog China, the latter two can start at one million US dollars, but no one will compare these.
It is a bit incredible to think about a project that even industry insiders have never heard of, and may still be on paper, to raise such a large amount of money.
Even if you have never been exposed to financing, you can imagine the risks in it. Subconsciously, the group of Internet people in the audience have a deeper understanding of the banner of angel investment brought by Qingshan Capital.
Apart from relatives, perhaps only angels dare to invest in the early stages of entrepreneurship!
A corner on the left back of the venue gradually became turbulent, and a young man was trembling all over. All around him were the hottest eyes. Obviously, there was the applicant's location.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention, and everyone wanted to see what the first lucky one looked like.
Chen Qiaoshan ignored the commotion below and continued to recite: "The second company, Kuxun.com, has a financing amount of 150,000 US dollars."
There was another uproar in the audience. It was also a company with no name, with a financing amount of more than one million. Once the news was disclosed, many people who had submitted financing applications were also in a state of great concern.
Only two projects have used up one-eighth of the application quota. Many people can't help but regret it. If they had known to use more thoughts on the plan, once they were selected, they would not have to communicate with people about cheating skills.
Baidu Alliance only issued less than 10 million advertising fees last year. With the current market environment, a small website that has been hanging an agent for a hundred years may not be able to earn 100,000 US dollars.
Many people can't help but be moved. Compared to starting a business, it is more attractive.
Not to mention Wang Wei, who imitates Langma UC, is a billionaire, even if he makes small fuss, as long as he innovates, he may not have no capitalist to pay.
Nowadays, no one will admit that his skills are inferior to others. As long as he is willing to work hard, there will be opportunities everywhere. Once he gets financing, he will have much more prospects than simply advertising.
Seeing that there were signs of losing control at the venue, Chen Qiaoshan was very satisfied.
Don’t worry about lack of food but unevenness. Once there are troublemakers, the stagnant water will accelerate the flow.
"Congratulations to the two entrepreneurial teams first. Qingshan Investment staff will contact you later, hoping to keep the communication open."
Chen Qiaoshan gave another simple reminder and hurriedly ended this inappropriate opening speech.
Chapter completed!
