Don’t play by the rules

The next day, Zhang Yiyi called early in the morning. He told Chen Zhihe that the other party would be here today.

Chen Zhihe knew as soon as he heard that the other party was waiting for them.

In the morning, after having breakfast, Chen Zhihe went directly to the company.

The three of them waited for a while, and then someone from Haina Venture Capital arrived.

Perhaps knowing that this might be the last window period, the other party showed up with five people, all of whom had undergone plastic surgery.

Byte's conference room is relatively small, and it feels a little cramped for eight people to sit in it.

Five versus three, both sides sit facing each other.

On Chen Zhihe's side, Zhang Yiming was in the middle, while Chen Zhihe and Liu Cheng'an sat on both sides.

The leader of Haina Venture Capital is a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He is not tall, but his eyes are bright and lively. At first glance, he is not an easy person to talk to.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, who is this...?" The other party asked when he saw Chen Zhihe appearing for the first time.

Zhang Yiming was about to make an introduction when Chen Zhihe stretched out his hand and said concisely: "Big Fish Capital, Chen Zhihe, nice to meet you."

The other party made a look of realization, stretched out his hand to shake Chen Zhihe's hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so young. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Wang Jie from Haina."

After focusing on Byte, they investigated Byte thoroughly and found out that an institution called Big Fish Capital had invested in Byte in the angel round.

Wang Jie always felt that he had heard the name Chen Zhihe somewhere, but he could never remember it.

However, it was obvious that this was not the time to think about this. Wang Jie gave up without thinking about it.

"Last night, Mr. Zhang invited us to the company for talks. I wonder what you think about it?" Wang Jie said straight to the point.

Zhang Yiyi looked at Liu Chengan and Chen Zhihe on the left and right, and said: "We have already discussed it, 10% is fine, but we want 3 million US dollars."

This was what the three of them had discussed last night. They had made it clear from the start. If it didn't work, there would be no need to talk. Anyway, Chen Zhihe still had the whole story.

Wang Jie was obviously stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, we are here with sincerity. Your price is not a joke."

Zhang Yiyi shook his head and said: "We invited you with sincerity, otherwise, I would not have contacted you so late at night."

Wang Jie smiled and said: "3 million is still US dollars. I don't see how sincere you are. If it is this price, I can only say that I am sorry."

Zhang Yiyi glanced at Chen Zhihe and saw that he had no intention of speaking. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then Mr. Wang's hard work will be in vain."

Wang Jie looked at Zhang Yingming with some amusement, and then at Chen Zhihe. He saw Zhang Yingming's little move just now.

He was a little unsure now as to what gave Zhang Yiyi the confidence.

Could it be Chen Zhihe from Big Fish Capital?

"Don't you think about it anymore? As far as we know, your product will be launched soon, but you don't have enough funds."

Wang Jie came prepared. Likewise, he was optimistic about Byte. His harsh words were just a negotiation strategy and he would not give up easily.

"It seems that Mr. Wang knows us very well, but you are not the only one who is willing to invest. We are short of money, but there is plenty of money in the market."

Zhang Yiming is not a newbie. As soon as he heard the other party's words, he knew that the other party would not give up just like that, so he naturally gained the confidence to continue talking.

"Oh, but as far as we know, we are the only ones who have contacted you at the moment. Could it be that..." Looking at Chen Zhihe, Wang Jie seemed to have thought of something and said, "Does Mr. Chen have any ideas for additional investment?

"

Chen Zhihe, who had been silent all the time, saw the other person asking him, smiled and said: "If the price is too low, we might as well do it ourselves."

Wang Jie smiled and shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen is joking. As far as I know, your shares are not low. If you invest more, I'm afraid you will become a major shareholder."

“That’s not how investing works.”

Indeed, investing turns oneself into a major shareholder, which is obviously not what investors want.

The purpose of investing is to make money, not to get yourself involved. How optimistic is this decision? Moreover, no company is willing to let investors become major shareholders.

Chen Zhihe smiled and said: "Thank you for your advice. You are a senior in the investment world. It seems that I still need to learn more. However, I have a problem. I am not willing to pay for what I see. Byte is my early morning

Just be optimistic. If your bid is low, I will not agree to your price even if I become a major shareholder."

"Besides, as President Zhang just said, you are not the only one doing venture capital in the market. Although Big Fish is small, you still know some people, including Tencent and Xiaomi. I can call them for you."

Anyway, it is not illegal to brag, and Chen Zhihe is not completely lying. He is not afraid of being investigated if he is telling the truth.

Looking at Chen Zhihe who looked confident, Wang Jie was a little confused.

Is this a stupid son of a landlord who knows nothing, or does he really have a background?

What you are most afraid of meeting in the shopping mall is this kind of person, who doesn't play by the rules and won't tell you the rules at all.

Suddenly, after hearing about Tencent and Xiaomi, Wang Jie finally remembered why he found the name Chen Zhihe so familiar.

Hello, isn’t the founder of this company who has recently made a splash in the investment world named Chen Zhihe?

Moreover, Baike’s round of financing was invested by Xiaomi, and there are recent rumors that Tencent is preparing to take action.

Looking at Chen Zhihe and thinking about the research he had done on the visitors before, Wang Jie was almost certain that the Chen Zhihe in front of him was the Chen Zhihe.

Because, as everyone knows, the founder of Beike is very young and is still a college student.

"I would like to take the liberty to ask, Mr. Chen, are you Mr. Chen who is here to pay me a visit?" Wang Jie asked.

Chen Zhihe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."

He didn't expect that the other party actually knew about him.

Seeing Chen Zhihe's admission, Wang Jie also understood that the other party really had a background.

Although Chen Zhihe's words are flawed, at least there is no problem in helping to make connections.

After all, Chen Zhihe himself voted, which shows that he is optimistic about Byte, which to a certain extent is also an advantage of Byte.

The reason is simple. Chen Zhihe has proven his vision and ability. He is optimistic about Byte, so the risk of investing in Byte is much smaller.

Wang Jie thought a lot, but it only lasted a moment.

Holding a fist to Chen Zhihe, Wang Jie said with a smile: "I am blind and blind. I finally met you today. Unfortunately, we missed our visit. It is said that Tencent is already preparing to contact you. Congratulations."

After hearing this, Zhang Yiming and Liu Chengan looked at Chen Zhihe, no wonder he dared to tell the truth.

Their hearts were all complicated. Chen Zhihe had gone further and further away and had completely left them behind.

Chen Zhihe was not surprised. The circle is such a small one, and if there was any disturbance, everyone would soon know about it, not to mention that if it belonged to a giant like Tencent, everyone would be watching.

Shaking his head, Chen Zhihe waved his hand and said, "Thank you for being such a considerate visitor. I haven't even finished my horoscope yet. I'd like to lend you some good words."
