Chapter 769: Out of the Bag for Safety
He Desheng hesitated: "Mr. Pei...... If we take the money we make from selling profitable companies and invest them in the companies that are behind, what about the money that we give to the companies that are losing money to continue to invest? ”
Pei Qian said: "I'll come out." ”
He Desheng nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei." ”
He Desheng didn't ask much, this rule was set by Mr. Pei a long time ago, although it seemed very unreasonable, but it still had to be firmly implemented.
For Pei Qian, this investment can ensure the rapid consumption of funds at hand.
The DLC for both games is selling very well, and seeing that it's another windfall, it's a perfect way to fill the gap.
Merely...... Who should I fill it in?
Pei Qian looked at it, these 5 companies that have not moved seem to be the best choice, but the problem is...... They still have a lot of money on their books.
It's normal to think about it, isn't the reason why there is no movement because they are not willing to take money for marketing? If you are willing to spend money, there will be movement a long time ago.
For such a company, Mr. Pei has to consider the money.
What do you want you to do with spending money so slowly?
So, you still have to sift through these companies that can spend money.
"Which of these companies is spending money the fastest?" Pei Qian asked.
He Desheng immediately replied: "Of course, it's Meng Chang's cold-faced girl." ”
Pei Qian continued to ask: "What is the specific business situation over there?" ”
He Desheng thought for a while and said, "I went to the imperial capital once to see it, and I also went to the store to eat baked cold noodles, how can I say it...... The current situation of the store is quite hot. ”
"When I went, there was a long queue outside the store, and it looked like business was doing well, and some online media seemed to have reported it."
"However, some of these reports are made by themselves at their own expense, because a large part of the marketing expenses of the cold-faced girl are spent on this, and it is not clear how much water is in this queue."
"But...... In terms of food, the taste is okay, similar to the general mid-to-high-end noodle restaurants, and the environment, quality and sense of ceremony will be better. At present, the prices of several signature dishes are partially subsidized. ”
"What is certain is that a large number of these people in line are real customers, and all of them may not be real."
Pei Qian: "Is there a subsidy for meals?" ”
He Desheng nodded: "Yes, for example, the gold medal baked cold noodles are actually sold for one or two yuan." Because these raw materials are the most expensive in the supply chain, plus labor and transportation costs, there is no profit margin. ”
"Of course, whether the customers can taste it or not is another matter......
"According to Meng Chang, this is called 'bringing noodles with points'. It is to make some signature products cost-effective, use the best raw materials, and then post money to reduce the price, so that customers feel that these signature products are absolutely worth the price, so that they can increase their popularity and expand their market share faster. ”
"And the money from these subsidies can be earned back later by launching new meals."
"However, in the short term, it is still very difficult to count on the launch of new dishes to make money, almost impossible."
"Therefore, the expenses of all aspects add up to make the project of Cold Noodle Girl spend money quickly. Of course, the heat is also rising the fastest. ”
"Hmm......" Pei Qian fell into deep thought.
He has also heard of this cold-faced girl many times, and he has already learned a lot about this project.
I have to say that this Meng Chang is a good spender, other companies have taken the investment and are carefully calculated, and two or three million dollars have to be spent for half a year or a year, but this Meng Chang dares to work hard with the goal of spending it in more than a month.
For Pei Qian, this is a genius who spends money.
The reason why Pei Qian hesitated was mainly because he hesitated about what kind of company he should spend the money on.
The company that has made money will definitely not be able to continue to invest, and must be sold immediately, which is nothing to say.
Companies that don't make money and don't have a voice look safe, but they're not necessarily safe. Because these kinds of companies tend to be budget-conscious companies that don't have a voice just because they haven't started marketing yet. What if it's a potential stock and continues to chase and explode?
Moreover, these companies spend money too slowly, and Pei Qian always feels unsteady when he invests money in them.
On the other hand, a company like the cold-faced girl, although it is loud, it also spends money quickly.
There is a saying called "falling into the bag for safety", and when it comes to Pei Qian's side, it is "out of the bag for safety", these companies can spend their money so that he can be sure, otherwise it will always feel like a time bomb, and he doesn't know when it will explode.
From this point of view, it is not a bad choice to cast a cold noodle girl.
If the popularity of the cold noodle girl is hard fried and can never make money, then this investment is equivalent to a waste.
If the cold noodle girl is really profitable, then sell it as soon as the time comes.
Pei Qian thought about it and finally made up his mind: "Those companies that are not profitable and have not spent their money, depending on the situation, chase one or two million, don't invest more." ”
"The cold-faced girl, invest six million."
He Desheng didn't ask much, and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei." ”
Pei Qian suddenly thought of something again, and said, "By the way, the cold-faced girl has a request for the six million." It is to keep it absolutely confidential, so that Meng Chang cannot reveal that the money is Tengda under any circumstances. ”
He Desheng was stunned for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay." ”
He also doesn't know how many rounds of games Mr. Pei has been thinking about during this time, and how many layers are in it, but since Mr. Pei has decided to vote, he must be strategizing and sure of winning.
Pei Qian symbolically flipped through the information in front of him again, feeling that this should be foolproof.
Companies that don't make money continue to invest money, and it is reasonable to invest less with less risk and more with high risk.
The reason why it is particularly emphasized that the 6 million should be kept secret is mainly because I am worried that there will be another situation of "Xueba is coming". If many investors heard that Dream Venture Capital hit hard and directly smashed 6 million to the cold-faced girl, would they follow suit and directly speculate on the valuation of this company?
What if it really catches fire when the time comes?
Investing in other companies is one or two million land, but when it comes to the cold-faced girl, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and then induce a series of uncontrollable consequences.
Therefore, Pei Qian specially requested that the premise for Meng Chang to get this investment was that he must keep the source of the money secret.
Of course, Pei Qian didn't expect this information to be completely covered and airtight, but just hoped that it could be concealed for as long as possible and have less impact.
Anyway, with Meng Chang's speed of spending money, he will definitely be able to spend all the money before this news spreads, so that's fine.
……
After Mr. Pei left, He Desheng began to call the founders of several companies one by one.
"Hello? Mr. Zheng. That's the case, we Tengda are ready to transfer all the shares of your company, and the shareholders of other companies have the right of first refusal, you can discuss it and see if you want to introduce third-party capital......"
Mr. Zheng's company is one of the two companies that have become profitable.
Mr. Zheng on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment when he heard He Desheng say that he wanted to transfer all the shares.
According to the law, the shareholders of the company cannot withdraw their capital at will, which will constitute the crime of withdrawing capital contribution, and they must transfer shares through normal channels.
But here's the problem...... Why did Tengda sell its shares?
Mr. Zheng felt very confused, not quite right, didn't our company just make money, didn't it just see the dawn? As a result, Tengda was so unbreathed that he was going to sell all the shares?
Mr. Pei shouldn't be such a short-sighted person?
Besides, this can't be considered short-sighted, this is a bad brain, and it is impossible for a normal person to do such a stupid thing.
Is Bae always stupid? Of course not!
Therefore, Mr. Zheng was very confused.
Mr. Zheng was silent for a moment and then said: "Mr. He, I can't hide it, if I can eat all the shares in Tengda's hands with several other shareholders, I will have to wake up from a dream." ”
"But I don't want to do it, because you can't forget your roots."
"In the most difficult time for our company, it was Tengda who reached out and provided us with life-saving funds. Now that the company's financial situation has improved, it has seen the light of day, and it can be profitable, whether it is going out to find other financing, or slowly developing step by step, it can develop very well. ”
"Then Mr. He, why do you want to transfer your shares now? I can't make much money by transferring it now? You have to trust us, you can definitely make more money by continuing to hold shares......"
He Desheng smiled: "Mr. Zheng, it's not that I don't believe you, absolutely not." It's just that this is Mr. Pei's regulations, and we will transfer shares and withdraw from the company that makes money. As for why, I don't know, and you don't need to ask, I'm just an executor. ”
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long time, Mr. Zheng sighed: "I see, I understand." ”
"Mr. Pei, this is a charcoal in the snow! It's admirable to lend a helping hand when we are in the most difficult times and to retire after we get through it! ”
"Whether Mr. Pei's purpose is to make good connections, or simply to help others, we will remember this kindness!"
"Don't worry, Tengda will be our forever friend in the future, and we will definitely find a way to repay this kindness!"
Anyone who can be the boss of a company is not a stupid person, and after a little thought, I figured out the reason.
It stands to reason that investing in startups is the riskiest investment, because most companies will go bankrupt and go bankrupt, and only a few will make it to the end.
And those who are keen to invest in startups are counting on one of the ten companies to grow bigger and make up for the losses of the other nine.
Once a promising company emerges, it is necessary to hold the shares as much as possible, find the most suitable opportunity to sell at a high point, and ensure that your interests are maximized.
Now Mr. Zheng's company has just improved, and it doesn't look like it is at the highest point.
And Tengda decided to transfer the shares now, which is no different from doing good deeds!
What a noble spirit it is to send charcoal in the snow in times of difficulty, and to turn away after seeing the light of day!
Of course, Dream Ventures also made money in this investment, but not so much. But in Mr. Zheng's view, this is a kind of sacrifice, a kind of dedication!
He Desheng was also a little embarrassed to be praised, and hurriedly explained: "Actually, you don't have to take it too seriously, this is Mr. Pei's regulations, and it is the same for other companies......"
Mr. Zheng said: "It is precisely because of this that it is even more moving!" Mr. Pei helped us, not out of personal relationships, but out of justice and faith. ”
"Mr. He, you don't need to say it, in short, we will definitely remember this kindness, if there is anything to cooperate with in the future, just ask!"
After calling the two profitable companies, these two bosses are equally grateful.
He called companies that had already spent a lot of money but still didn't see any trend in profitability.
"Hello? Mr. Liu. Hello hello, that's the case, we plan to give you another million to invest, and we will notify you in advance. ”
Mr. Liu on the other side of the phone was also stunned for a moment, a little incredulous: "Ah? Another million? ”
He Desheng nodded: "Yes, is there any problem?" ”
Mr. Liu hurriedly said: "No problem, of course no problem!" I just think it's a little surprising, our current business situation is not particularly good, we are far from profitable, we have spent money but we have not seen results, and I am still struggling with how to tell you about this......"
"I didn't expect you to trust us so much! Thanks, thank you so much! ”
