Chapter 1,366 Angel Investment!
This year's pony is indeed very young.
Yang Fei felt confident when he saw his iconic elegant face.
Xiaoma wanted to sell QICQ, but had no choice but to do so.
At that time, Xiaoma developed this software just for bidding. Unexpectedly, the bidding failed and he had to bear the cost of the server himself.
Any piece of software has no users at the beginning. In order to attract users, Xiao Ma personally went to BBSs in major universities to promote it, and even acted as a chat companion for girls.
Seeing the number of users increasing day by day, Xiao Choima became worried.
I only see the investment but not the slightest return. How should I continue to operate this business?
Xiao Ma thought of selling the software.
But I visited four or five companies and approached several big names in the Internet field at that time. Unfortunately, no one was willing to take it or invest.
There was similar software on the market at that time, and it was developing very well.
At this time, Yang Fei appeared.
Of course Xiao Ma knew Yang Fei.
The two people work in different fields, but they are both entrepreneurs in the 1990s, and Yang Fei is also Xiaoma's entrepreneurial idol!
After Xiao Ma was rejected by Zhao Wenliang, he was originally frustrated, but suddenly received an unknown number. When he heard Yang Fei's famous name, Xiao Ma was stunned.
He turned back immediately.
When he saw Yang Fei in person, Xiao Ma thought he was dreaming!
It’s so unreal!
Idol!
"Mr. Yang, is it really you?" Xiao Ma held Yang Fei's hand and said excitedly, "I have read your book more than a dozen times. Every time I read it, my heart will surge and it will inspire my enthusiasm for starting a business. In every darkest moment, the golden words in your book have become a beacon for me to continue to persevere."
"You will definitely succeed and become one of the richest people in the world! You have to believe in yourself." Yang Fei didn't lie, he told the truth.
"Thank you Mr. Yang for your encouragement!" Xiao Ma said happily, "Mr. Yang, do you want to buy my software? If Mr. Yang wants it, I can give you a discount."
"I don't buy it." Yang Fei replied decisively.
"Don't buy it?" Xiao Ma felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, his heart felt cold!
Zhao Wenliang said in surprise: "Mr. Yang, didn't you just say that you were interested in this software?"
"Yes, I am interested, but I have no intention of buying it. I am a layman on Internet technology. It is easy for me to buy it, but how to operate it? I am a layman. Of course, I can also learn it, but I already have In the industry I chose, my energy and time are limited. It is impossible for me to abolish everything now and explore a completely unfamiliar field again?"
"Mr. Yang, you are too humble." Xiao Ma said, "In your book, you have penetrating insights into the future of the Internet economy. If you buy this software, you will definitely be able to make it bigger and stronger in the future. .”
Yang Fei smiled, if I buy it, where will the Penguin Kingdom come from?
"I won't buy it, but I can invest." Yang Fei smiled gently, "How much capital do you need?"
A dazzling light slowly rose in front of the pony!
A brave new world opens its door to ponies!
Xiao Ma thought of asking Yang Fei for financing.
But as Yang Fei said, people in the same industry are willing to invest in you, but who among outsiders will know who you are?
Just like Zhao Wenliang, he doesn't even understand what you are selling, so he is even less likely to buy or invest.
The coveted angel investor, Yang Fei!
He is actually willing to invest in Comrade Xiao Ma!
At this moment, Xiao Ma was crying with joy, was it possible?
Yang Fei's handsome and warm smile will often be remembered by Xiao Ma twenty years later.
It was this owner with a sunny smile who changed Xiao Ma's future life.
One day, when Xiao Ma became one of the richest people in the world as Yang Fei said, what he was most grateful for was that he met Yang Fei today.
He could never know that even if he didn't meet Yang Fei today, he would meet another angel.
Yang Fei appeared at the right time and became his angel investor.
This chance encounter was an unexpected surprise for Yang Fei.
Although he roughly knew that Xiao Ma once wanted to sell QICQ, he didn't know the exact date. He also thought for a while that after Shang Hai was finished, he would go to Shennan City to try his luck. Unexpectedly, everything It has long been arranged by the hand of fate.
Last year, after QICQ was launched, the number of registered people exceeded 100,000 in just 10 months, which is indeed a gratifying result.
But at the same time, Xiaoma's company only had more than 10,000 yuan left on its books, and Xiaoma could no longer even pay the company's employees' wages.
During that time, Xiao Ma and his team went through the most difficult entrepreneurial stage.
They gathered in a simple workshop, doing work day and night that some people in the same industry disdained, and put the money they earned into the "bottomless black hole" again and again, just to be able to put the software on the Internet. , for netizens to download for free and then use it for free.
Under this situation, many people began to waver, and they urged Xiaoma to sell the software, because QICQ was already somewhat famous at that time. Selling it would not only completely get rid of this black hole, but also make a lot of money. funds.
At this time, several of the company's founders had given up their original jobs and joined the company team wholeheartedly, and Xiao Ma carried a greater responsibility for them on his shoulders.
Despite all the helplessness and reluctance, Xiao Ma silently accepted this fact after the remaining four members of the board of directors unanimously approved the proposal to sell the software.
In order to sell the software, Xiao Ma went to many companies, approached many big bosses, and was even kicked out for no apparent reason.
Now, Yang Fei didn't ask anything, and Xiao Ma didn't even need to introduce or explain anything.
Yang Fei asked directly: "How much capital do you need?"
"If there are 2 million," Xiao Ma said excitedly, "US dollars! That's almost it."
"Two million US dollars," Yang Fei said, "The current exchange rate is 8.278, um, 16.56 million yuan."
"That's about it." Xiao Ma replied.
"How many shares can I hold?" Yang Fei asked.
"40%." Xiao Ma said, "I can only give you so much."
Yang said: "Is it okay if I invest another US$1 million to hold 51% of the shares?"
"No." Xiao Ma refused without hesitation, "We must take control of the company."
Zhao Wenliang smiled and said: "Aren't you short of funds? Mr. Yang gave you more investment, but you still don't want it? Aren't you afraid that Mr. Yang won't invest?"
Yang Fei laughed and said: "No, on the contrary, I admire his courage to reject me. This shows that he has feelings and confidence in his company. He really wants to do a good job in this company. "
Xiao Ma asked: "Mr. Yang, what about your investment?"
Yang Fei said: "I promise you. Invest!"
