Chapter five hundred and twenty first coercion
Li Xiaojun thought it was a private meeting and communication, so he rushed over alone. When he arrived at the cafe on the top floor of the building, he saw Chen Qiaoshan staring at the distant river.
Wujiang passes through the city, and Jinhua city is divided into two parts. Now it is night, and the north and south sides are as bright as daytime. Only the land where the river passes is dark, and the fog is so foggy that it can't be seen clearly.
Seeing that someone had arrived, Dong Qifeng whispered: "Manager Li is here."
Chen Qiaoshan then withdrew his gaze, but saw that Li Xiaojun had already walked up to him. He said, "I'm really embarrassed to ask Manager Li to go there."
Li Xiaojun ignored his words. Including today, the two of them had only met twice and did not know each other. As soon as they sat down, he asked straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I wonder why you asked me to come?"
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, why don't we order a drink first."
After saying that, he reached out to call the waiter and asked again: "Manager Chen, do you want tea or coffee?"
"Coffee, I'm still used to the taste of coffee." Li Xiaojun has been abroad for many years. For Chinese people who have no money and background, only by working harder than Westerners can they gain a foothold in the competition. Whether it is studying or working, staying up late and working overtime is common, and coffee has become a necessary functional drink.
Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that trying to convince IDG to give up his original investment plan would not work in just a few words. He repeatedly pondered the words and was not in a hurry to speak.
Li Xiaojun couldn't help but waited for the waiter to leave, and he asked directly: "Mr. Chen, Qingshan Capital is also interested in 5173?"
"Of course." Chen Qiaoshan gave a positive answer casually without hesitation.
Although Zhang Bingxin's methods were not very clever, he took the situation openly.
Li Xiaojun obviously felt the pressure. He just joined IDG and wanted to gain a foothold in the venture capital field, he had to achieve outstanding results.
Although the venture capital return cycle is generally long and it takes six or seven years to exit stably, it doesn’t take too long to judge success or failure. Before the second round of financing, the value of the project can generally be revealed.
Li Xiaojun is optimistic about the development potential of the online game market, so he bet on 5173. Unfortunately, although the project was finally approved, the approved funds were pitifully small. Now that there is one more competitor, success or failure is really hard to say.
After thinking about it, he had an idea.
The funds provided by IDG Capital are not enough to support Zhang Bingxin's expansion plan. Li Xiaojun originally thought of detours. The first funds were only considered industrial incubation. When the project progressed, he would persuade the investment director to continue to increase investment. This is very common in the industry.
Now that Qingshan Capital has made a big splash, Zhang Bingxin has some new ideas.
He has neither qualifications nor background at IDG Capital, so it is definitely impossible to raise the quotation. In this way, his financial advantage will definitely not be able to compete with Chen Qiaoshan. Instead of letting people trample on it, it is better to cooperate between the two parties.
If you don’t have the advantage in the first round, you will strive to win the investment in the second round. As long as the project prospects are promising, with the strength of IDG Capital, you can take the lead by relying on the advantages of funds.
After thinking through it, Li Xiaojun was less worried about gains and losses. If you have money, just make money together. Chen Qiaoshan should not refuse the proposal of cooperation. Thinking of this, he said: "Mr. Chen, since you also value 5173, you might as well cooperate in this project. This time, I will lead the investment with IDG Capital and Qingshan Capital follows up. I wonder what you think?"
Chen Qiaoshan smiled on his face, as if he was quite moved. He said, "This is a good idea. Qingshan Capital's small business can cooperate with you, which is a bonus. I just don't know how to calculate the investment ratio?"
Li Xiaojun was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Qiaoshan to be so readily. He agreed without thinking for a moment, which caught him off guard.
He hesitated that the financing terms and funding situation are commercial secrets and must not be leaked rashly.
In addition, Li Xiaojun has another concern. It is almost impossible for him to suppress Qingshan Capital the check he brought this time. If Chen Qiaoshan knows the truth and turns around and kicks him, the gutter will capsize.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but tease: "Manager Li, you proposed the cooperation. You have to be a little sincere. I keep my word. Since I promised you, I will definitely not regret it. If you don't tell me your company's bid, how can you lead the investment?"
Li Xiaojun had nothing to say, but he did not intend to expose himself. He said nothing. If he was taken away by Chen Qiaoshan for a few words, he would have been in vain in the past few years abroad. "Mr. Chen, why not introduce you to 5173's expansion plan. We can discuss the issue of funds later."
Seeing that Li Xiaojun didn't take the trap, Chen Qiaoshan didn't force it. He was not going to continue to deal with it. He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, then said, "Manager Li, you may have misunderstood."
Li Xiaojun's expression changed and he hurriedly asked, "What, don't you count the previous promises?"
"That's not the case." Chen Qiaoshan smiled and then said: "First of all, I really intend to cooperate with IDG Capital, but there is a prerequisite."
Li Xiaojun asked, "What's the premise?"
"I do have a crush on 5173, but I am not here to invest, but want to acquire it with full capital."
Li Xiaojun was indeed very surprised, "What, you want to acquire 5173?"
Chen Qiaoshan didn't say anything, just nodded, as if he had admitted it.
Li Xiaojun understood that no wonder the other party was in a hurry to find Zhang Bingxin, but instead made an appointment with him. Obviously, if you want to discuss an acquisition, you must first block 5173's financing channels, so that you can minimize the cost of mergers and acquisitions.
Qingshan Capital is doing mergers and acquisitions, IDG Capital is talking about financing, and the two parties obviously have no room for cooperation. Li Xiaojun asked: "Mr. Chen, you talk about your acquisition and I do my financing. We don't seem to have to continue to discuss it, right?"
"Don't worry, let me finish my words." Chen Qiaoshan said seriously: "In my opinion, the 5173 model needs to be improved. I have read the financing plan made by Zhang Bingxin, and there are also many loopholes. To be honest, it is not worth the investment of large amounts of funds."
Li Xiaojun was very whispered. Since he didn't like him, why should he come to discuss the acquisition? I have to admit that what Chen Qiaoshan said makes sense, which coincides with the opinions of several investment directors of IDG. However, he was calm on his face. Li Xiaojun also wanted to see what Chen Qiaoshan had to do.
"There is no doubt that the online game market has broad prospects, and the corresponding trading platform should not be bad. Manager Li also knows that I am not just investing. Kangsheng, a mess, and Green League are all under its industries."
"I am interested in entering the online game trading platform. There are two solutions. One is to make another one again, which takes a long time, and the other is to acquire one, which is expensive, but has outstanding efficiency. Compared with spending money, I personally value efficiency more, so I set my sights on 5173."
"Since it's about the acquisition, Qingshan Capital is not short of money, what does it mean to come to me?" Li Xiaojun said with a thorn in his words. Needless to think about it, Chen Qiaoshan came to him, just to persuade him to leave. He worked hard for more than a month, and only went to Jinhua twice. At this time, he was intercepted. It would be strange if he could have a good mood.
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "The reason I invited you here is to cooperate with IDG Capital."
Li Xiaojun questioned: "How to cooperate?"
"It's very simple. You are suspending your investment plan. It's not too late for me to complete the merger and acquisition first."
Li Xiaojun was so angry that she laughed. This person really dared to think about it.
Once Chen Qiaoshan completes the acquisition, there is no need to ask, if you want to invest, you have to ask for help. Qingshan Capital is not short of money and there is no possibility of fat water flowing out. Even if you are really willing to let IDG Capital intervene, the financing amount will probably be astronomical.
"Mr. Li, instead of doing this, I might as well invest directly in 5173. It is the same as early and late investment, which has no additional benefits for IDG Capital."
Chen Qiaoshan's face turned solemn and said seriously: "Manager Li, you'd better think clearly. 5173 is not impossible to invest, but I have to remind you that I have made a decision on the trading platform, and I don't have to acquire it. If you don't want to cooperate, I will start a new business."
After a pause, Chen Qiaoshan said again: "If you can't be friends, you can only be competitors."
This is quite rude, just say it is either a friend or an enemy.
Faced with this almost threatening attitude, Li Xiaojun couldn't help but feel angry. Who is this? If venture capitalists meet Chen Qiaoshan's number, they must scold her.
Dong Qifeng was also dizzy. The boss was really awesome. He didn't even take the people of IDG Capital seriously. He was also a little worried. It's true that Chen Qiaoshan is rich, but it is definitely not comparable to the old investment funds.
IDG Capital is the most experienced investment fund in the Chinese investment industry. Its tentacles involve almost all industrial chains. If they offend them, it will obviously not be a good result.
Li Xiaojun also had a little temper, "Mr. Li, are you threatening me?"
"Why is it a threat?" Chen Qiaoshan looked wronged, but he instantly changed into a tough expression. "5173 is the first online game trading platform in China. There is no technical monopoly in this industry. To put it bluntly, whoever takes action will benefit."
"Of course, nothing is absolutely absolutely true."
After looking at the other party, Chen Qiaoshan continued: "If the acquisition is too difficult, I don't mind creating another 5173. Instead of spending 10 million to buy a semi-finished product, it is better to use 2 million to rebuild it and spend 800 more to promote it."
Li Xiaojun stopped talking, and he was also weighing the pros and cons.
Chen Qiaoshan ignored him and said to himself: "Kangsheng now has its own advertising alliance and has more than 100,000 personal websites under it. Yahoo and Baidu are scrambling to discuss cooperation with us. It is easy to promote the new platform."
"To put it bluntly, even if it takes time, I have enough confidence to suppress 5173. Manager Li, no one wants to bet on money. I advise you to think clearly, should you cooperate with us and make the market bigger, or continue to bet on 5173 and make a failed investment?"
Li Xiaojun couldn't help but feel angry. If he could barely bear it at the beginning, he was now blatantly threatening it, and he wanted to refuse directly, but after thinking about it carefully, he became depressed again.
