Chapter 532: Narrowing the Gap with Chongbai
Regarding the real and virtual curves in this coordinate system, Shi Lei can only guess this much.
Shi Lei had not thought of this before, but when he saw Cao Chong, he was keenly aware of the meaning of the dotted line.
In any case, Chongbai established this project earlier than Qixuan, and the city they were in was better than Shi Lei's company.
If both parties compete under the same conditions, even if You Yao Er is operating, Shi Lei feels that the possibility of Chongbai becoming the largest urban bicycle brand is very high, at least higher than Qixuan.
Shi Lei's advantage is that his connections are obviously better than Cao Chong's, but the value of connections often only becomes apparent after a company or project reaches maturity.
According to the curve given by the investment golden finger card, Shi Lei feels that this project will probably not enter the true maturity period until three years later, which also means that within three years, Shi Lei will probably not be able to compete with Chongbai.
Therefore, according to normal market competition, Shi Lei's investment of 5 million would only have a valuation of 600 million after three years. In other words, Qixuan’s valuation at that time will be approximately 1.23 billion.
But now the situation has changed somewhat.
Cao Chong chose the wrong way to suppress his competitors, and by chance, he directly offended many people in the Magic City.
In fact, without this episode, Cao Chong's plan would have been quite good.
The Imperial Capital was the political and cultural center, and his second stop was the Magic City, the economic center. Shi Lei could even imagine that Cao Chong's choice for his third stop would be Yangcheng in the south, or the one closest to Hong Kong Island. City.
What’s more likely is that when they prepare to expand to Magic City, Chongbai’s preparations are already perfect, and they can even leave to launch the A round of financing. By then, the investment they have received can even support him to expand into Magic City and Yangcheng. And Baoan was captured together. In this way, the layout of the four first-tier cities in China has been completed, followed by second-tier cities such as Wuxi Xixi.
As for Shi Lei's announcement, due to the geographical advantage, it was not as good as Chongbai. After Wu Dong set sail, the second city Yao Er could choose to land in was the Magic City, and the third city was Xixi. This was also his last city. A sure landing point.
Then, we can start to radiate to the whole country with the Yangtze River Delta as the center.
It may seem that there is not much difference, but in fact, this radiation method is far inferior to Chongbai's plan from first-tier cities to second-tier cities.
It's not that Yao Er couldn't think of this, but Qixuan's natural limitations in Wu Dong also constrained him. It's not that Yao Er is not strong enough, but Qi Xuan is indeed weaker than Chong Bai in terms of Xiantian.
In addition, Chongbai is indeed the first company in the industry to think of and create this project. Although Shi Lei's Qixuan followed closely behind, it has also lost the halo of being the first launch. In this way, in the venture capital circle, Qixuan will have a weaker impression than Chongbai, and the financing process will definitely be a slightly lower level than Chongbai.
But Cao Chong's wrong choice almost cost him the possibility of landing in the Magic City in the short term.
It's not that after he offended Shi Lei, Mr. Duan and others today, it would be impossible for Chong Bai to enter the Magic City. Even if Mr. Duan's father controls the municipal government, he can't stop Chong Bai from entering.
However, Chongbai, who could have successfully entered the Magic City layout, was delayed for at least several months, or even longer, before he could squeeze into the Magic City market because of Cao Chong's mistakes. By that time, Qixuan's layout in the Magic City has basically been completed. From this advantageous point, Chongbai will undoubtedly lose to Qixuan.
Once the plan to enter the Magic City is frustrated, Cao Chong will either choose a lower valuation for Series A financing and forcefully enter the two important markets of Yangcheng and Baoan. Or, he is waiting to finally win the Magic City market before financing.
But no matter what, he lost his best opportunity for expansion.
Shi Lei has reason to believe that if he uses the investment cheat card to search again under the same conditions, the dotted line part of the coordinate system that appears will not change, while the solid line part will usher in a leap forward.
Today's slap in Cao Chong's face means more than just a slap in the face. It will indirectly affect the status of the two companies in the industry.
As someone on the yacht said, what happened tonight will soon spread to the circles of the imperial capital. The degree of overlap between that circle and the venture capital circle would be unimaginable to Cao Chong.
It’s not that Cao Chong has character problems, so venture capital institutions won’t dare to invest in him. Capital has never valued the entrepreneur’s character, but the value of the project.
However, based on Cao Chong's despicable methods, venture capital institutions must re-evaluate this person's abilities, and the value of a company led by such a person will also undergo certain changes.
In addition, after this innovation, there will definitely be some obstacles in the market of Shanghai. Investors will be in trouble if they don't take the opportunity to lower the price.
In this way, the chance of Qixuan will be better than that of Chongbai.
Of course, the success or failure of an enterprise and the promotion of projects must ultimately be based on operations.
What happened today only allowed Shi Lei to get a better starting position, and at the same time, it also pushed the starting line of the sprint back a little. This does not mean that Qixuan will be in the leading position.
Shi Lei looked at the time and saw that it was already past four in the morning. He hesitated and sent a WeChat message to Drug 2.
Domain names are definitely not as important as traditional Internet companies for companies like them that are built on mobile phones, but this does not mean that they are useless at all.
If Chongbai is still a few positions ahead of Qixuan, then using the domain name trick will more or less slow down Chongbai's pace again, and Qixuan's pace will also be slightly accelerated. Even if there is no way to surpass them in one fell swoop, the gap between Qi Xuan and Chong Bai can be narrowed.
After the WeChat message was sent, Shi Lei didn't know if Yao Er was asleep, so he sat at the table and waited for a while.
A few minutes later, Yao Er's reply came, saying that he would launch the domain name tomorrow.
Shi Lei didn't have to worry about how Yao Er would operate. He could finally go back to bed and sleep peacefully.
At this moment, Cao Chong didn't know anything about it. He didn't know that after he suffered today's setback, Qixuan would have another knife thrust into his body tomorrow.
He was still drinking the sea breeze on the yacht, and now he had entered the scope of the river. He would soon go upstream and return to the Shenjiang River. It would take him more than half an hour to land.
When it was close to five o'clock, Cao Chong finally stepped on the land hungry. He was exhausted and his spirit was exhausted to the extreme. At this moment, even if someone gave him a gentle push, he might lie down directly. Fainted on the ground.
When he walked out of the yacht club, Cao Chong cursed into the thick darkness: "Shi Lei, I will kill you sooner or later!"
Shi Lei sneezed in his sleep, as if he felt someone scolding him, but Shi Lei did not wake up, but turned over and continued to enjoy the warm quilt tightly surrounding him.
As for Cao Chong, he could only drag his exhausted body and walk on the streets of the magic city. It was difficult to take a taxi at the location of the yacht club. By the time he returned to the hotel, it was already dawn.
