Chapter 68 Investment in the Primary Market

Su Yu looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Li Meng, so he couldn't help but answer the call.

"Su Yu, are you free tonight?" Li Meng said on the phone, "He Qian came to Yuhang from Shanghai on a business trip and planned to spend two days in Yuhang during the weekend before going back. I plan to accompany her. , We are shopping outside now, and we are going to have hot pot together later. If you... don't have an appointment, why not come with us. "

"He Qian?" Su Yu whispered.

A figure flashed through his mind, and he remembered that this person was Li Meng's college roommate and his college classmate. He couldn't help but reply: "Since you said so, wouldn't it mean that I don't give you face if I don't come?"

"Then I'll send you the location." Li Meng smiled softly and hung up the phone.

Then, she sent the location of the hot pot restaurant to Su Yu.

Su Yu carefully recalled the memory of the girl 'He Qian' in his mind, then turned off the computer, got up, tidied up, and went out to the place where they agreed to eat.

Walking into the hot pot restaurant, Su Yu immediately saw two girls holding milk tea in their hands, talking and laughing.

"Here, yours..." When Su Yu approached, Li Meng pushed another unopened cup of milk tea on the table to Su Yu and said, "Don't say I treat it differently."

"You really treat me differently."

After Su Yu sat down, before he could speak, He Qian had already smiled and teased: "I never thought that Li Meng, you would also value sex over friends. I never thought... you two would actually get together."

"Don't get me wrong." Su Yu coughed lightly and said hurriedly, "Li Meng and I are just roommates."

He Qian looked at Su Yu carefully and chuckled: "I don't believe it. You two don't work in the same organization. If there is no other relationship, how can you live together? Besides... men and women rent together, the risk factor is, It's not an ordinary high. If Lang is affectionate and concubine is interested, who would be willing?"

"But... Our beautiful lady Li has good taste."

"I just take it as a compliment." Su Yu chuckled, not bothering to explain anymore, changed the subject, and asked with a smile, "Beauty He, did I hear that you got married and found a huge man? A rich local from Shanghai?"

"How is that possible?" He Qian said with some outrage, "Who started this rumor? I just have a boyfriend, and I don't plan to get married yet. Moreover, the other person is not from Shanghai, but from Hong Kong City."

"Oh." Su Yu smiled, "Maybe I remembered it wrong."

"Who did you listen to?" He Qian stared at Su Yu carefully for a while and asked.

Su Yu thought for a while and replied: "I don't know who in the university group is spreading rumors that you, the great beauty, have entered a venture capital institution in Shanghai, and then met a big business boss in an investment project. "

"I did join a venture capital institution, but I don't know any big business bosses." He Qian responded, and then she said a little indignantly, "They say that we girls like to catch people's opinions, and I think you guys do too. Not much worse, even better.”

"I, He Qian, rely on my own ability to make a living and never rely on anyone else."

"These people, those superficial girls who secretly imagine me as a sugar daddy, damn it, hum... don't let me know who is spreading rumors behind my back, otherwise I will make him look good."

Su Yu smiled and looked at He Qian who was whining, but said nothing.

What he just said was not actually a rumor, but that He Qian finally found a business owner in the Magic City who was almost 10 years older than her, and lived an ordinary life as a rich woman.

"Okay, it's better to guard against others than to guard against rivers. If your mouth is on others, you can only let them say what they want to say." Li Meng saw his best friend's angry look and hurriedly comforted her, "As long as you It’s enough to have a clear conscience and know what kind of person you are. After all, we only need to live for ourselves, not for others.”

"You still think clearly." He Qian calmed down and praised Li Meng's comfort.

Then, she came back to her senses, looked at Li Meng and Su Yu carefully for a while, and asked: "So... you two are really innocent?"

"Didn't you just say that? We are just roommates living together." Su Yu replied.

"Hey, that's such a pity." He Qian sighed, "Actually, I think you two are quite a match."

"Well, it's not a good match, so I won't worry about you as a matchmaker." Li Meng chuckled lightly, put a piece of hot tripe into her bowl, changed the subject, and asked, "Qianqian, I Judging from the updates posted in your space, it seems that you often travel across the country. The performance of your organization should not be bad, right?"

"It's okay!" He Qian replied, "The secondary market is sluggish and the direct financing channels in the market are lacking. Coupled with the suspension of domestic IPOs, naturally the financing demand in the primary market will be relatively prosperous, but our institution is not It is a large institution with limited financial strength. Even though I have followed my master in the past year and a half to come into contact with many projects with urgent financing needs, my options are limited due to funding constraints. "

"Your master?" Li Meng asked with some confusion.

"Yes." He Qian nodded and said, "He is a senior investment manager in the domestic VC investment industry. He has been guiding me since I entered Guangya Investment."

"But now I can take charge of some small projects independently."

"I came to Yuhang this time to investigate a project, and I will have to contact a game company when I go back next week. I am basically responsible for these two projects independently."

"Guangya Investment, game company..." Su Yu listened to He Qian's slightly boastful words, captured key information, and carefully thought about the brilliant achievements of this institution in domestic investment, as well as some of He Qian's experiences working at Guangya Investment that he had heard from Li Meng. He couldn't help but say, "Recently, the concept of 'mobile games' in the secondary market has been very hot, and capital is very optimistic about this industry. I believe that the 'game company project' that the beautiful He is in contact with should also be very promising, right?"

"Well, this is a mobile game production company." He Qian replied, "It just happens to be at the forefront of the trend, but the scale of this company is still small. It has been established for less than a year and a half, and it only has one mobile game in operation."

"But I think the turnover data of their mobile game after it went online is not bad."

"Moreover, after the initial contact with their management, I can feel that this company is still serious about making products and has great potential."

"What is the name of the mobile game operated by their company?" Su Yu asked curiously, "I have also been studying this industry and investment opportunities in the secondary market recently."

"It seems to be called 'Honkai Academy'." He Qian said, "I tried to download and play it, it's quite fun."

Su Yu heard the name of this game, his eyes shook slightly, and then asked: "Their company is indeed in urgent need of Do they have urgent financing needs? "

"From the initial communication, it should be." He Qian knew that Su Yu and Li Meng both worked in the sales department of securities companies and were not involved in primary market investment, so when they asked about work projects, she was not too defensive or concealed. "Although the mobile game industry has been popular with capital recently, everyone's first investment target does not involve small start-up companies with no obvious future prospects and industry competitiveness. For example, the company I just mentioned is actually rarely paid attention to by powerful institutions. "

"In fact, this project..."

"It's not that our organization contacted them first, but they found us. "

"I heard that the reason they urgently need money is that banks seem to be tightening lending recently. loan approval, and the Federal Reserve is about to raise interest rates. Whether it is the central bank, financial institutions, or various venture capital companies in China, there are signs of tightening money supply, which has caused them to temporarily be unable to obtain bank loans, so they have to seek financing from over-the-counter institutions. "

Su Yu heard He Qian's explanation and smelled a huge investment opportunity in his heart. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "Can Miss He conveniently tell me the financing needs of this company, how much is it?"

"The project is not big. According to their needs, only 1.5 million is enough." He Qian answered subconsciously, and then realized that something was wrong. She stared at Su Yu and said with a vigilant face, "Su Yu, you asked so much in detail, you don't want to pry this project away from me, right?"

"If you really have this idea, it would be too unfair."

Su Yu saw that she was quick-witted and didn't care about what she said, so he smiled and said, "I don't work in a venture capital institution, how can I pry your project?"

"But..."

Su Yu paused and said, "This project should not be a high priority for your organization, right? ”

Even if Guangya Investment is not very large, it is probably difficult to look at a 1.5 million financing project. What's more, the other party's company has only been established for less than a year and a half. Under the cash flow crisis, there is no prospect and potential at all. Su Yu guessed that the reason why Guangya Investment was willing to contact this project was probably simply because the other party was a "mobile game production company".

"Everything has to be done slowly. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite." Li Meng heard Su Yu's words too clearly, and was afraid that the two would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly eased up, "I think Qianqian has been in the venture capital institution for a year and a half. It's already amazing that she can take over the project independently. Unlike me... I am still struggling in the position of "stockbroker". "

"That's not what I mean." Su Yu saw that the two girls misunderstood the meaning of his words and thought that he was attacking the other party, so he hurriedly explained, "I mean that if this financing project is not a high priority for your organization and the probability of passing is very low, then... Miss He might as well transfer this project to me. "

"Didn't you just say..." He Qian was extremely surprised and stared at Su Yu angrily.

But before she could finish her words, Su Yu interrupted her and continued, "I don't want to steal your project, but I want Miss He to help me get this project after this investment project plan is rejected by your organization's leaders."

"You mean..." Li Meng was stunned and said in surprise, "You want to invest in this project alone?"
