Chapter 337 Investing in Red Stubble
Jiang Xiaoguo said embarrassingly: "Their product technology has been developed for three years. It is said that the development has just been completed. Due to lack of financing, the founder sold all his family property and houses. Now the company is basically exhausted. Not to mention the release of software and Publicity and promotion expenses, even the company will go bankrupt."

Li Mu said: "It's so serious."

Jiang Xiaoguo said: "Yes! They are really pitiful."

Li Mu smiled: "So, you haven't even seen the product, just listen to their introduction, you think it's a good product, I suggest the company vote for it."

Jiang Xiaoguo said: "Although I haven't seen the product, I have seen their enthusiasm and spirit. Even though they are about to go bankrupt, the cohesion of their company is still rare, and everyone is reluctant to leave. I think this is a good company. "

Li Mu nodded: "I finally know why your boss vetoed it. You don't look at the product and rely on your feelings. If you are a big bull in the investment world, you may be able to do this, but you are a newcomer during the internship period, no performance, no successful cases, who will accompany you Play."

Jiang Xiaoguo nodded depressedly: "You don't believe me either."

Li Mu said: "I believe it, so I plan to go with you to see it."

Hearing what Li Mu said, Jiang Xiaoguo was not confident anymore, for fear that Li Mu would lose money because of her.

"That's all I'm saying. The main reason is that it's not easy to see them. That kind of energy is hard to come by. You'd better not go."

Li Mu smiled: "Don't worry, I have my own judgment, and I can't suffer."

"Hurry up and eat, let's go and see together later."

Jiang Xiaoguo struggled for a while, and finally nodded.

After eating, the two drove over.

This is an old industrial park, the place is not big, and the appearance is rather dilapidated. Even though it is a weekend, there are still more than a dozen employees working in a small place.

There are also sofas and camp beds in the open space next to it, and several employees are lying there to rest.It is a very common and very typical small start-up company.

However, the atmosphere is really good, at least the employees are motivated and work hard.

Seeing Li Mu and Jiang Xiaoguo coming in, a female employee stood up from her chair and said happily, "Miss Jiang, you're here, I'll call our Boss Ding." She hurried over to call for someone.

Li Mu turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo: "It seems that they all know you, and they are quite happy to see you."

Jiang Xiaoguo said helplessly: "The last time I came, they thought that I was specially sent by the company to investigate, and the financing was promising, so they were so happy, and I didn't have the heart to expose it."

Li Mu said: "Not bad, empathy is so high, do they really believe it?"

Jiang Xiaoguo shook her head: "Maybe you believe it! I didn't want to lie to them, it was their founder, Mr. Ding, who introduced me as soon as he came. Looking at their expectant eyes, I couldn't bear to say no. "

"Thinking about it now, Mr. Ding must know that the chances of success in financing are not high, so he wants to use my presence to boost morale so that the company can persist for a while longer."

The two were talking, and Mr. Ding greeted him with a happy face.

"Ms. Jiang, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Ding."

Mr. Ding turned his head to look at Li Mu next to him, with some surprise and hope in his eyes.

"Miss Jiang, who is this?"

Jiang Xiaoguo thought for a while and introduced: "This is Mr. Zhao."

The other party held Li Mu's hand and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Zhao."

"Hello, Mr. Ding."

After being courteous, Mr. Ding looked at Jiang Xiaoguo nervously and said, "Miss Jiang, what do you guys say, is there... is there hope?"

Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. Ding! My plan was rejected, and I couldn't help you."

President Ding sighed, as if he had lost his strength, and said with a wry smile: "I knew it... I knew it... In the three years since the company was established, I have gone to countless investment companies and submitted countless financing plans, all of which have no results. Only a few A few, like you, Ms. Jiang, are willing to come to my place to have a look, to have a field trip, but in the end they are powerless."

"I sold the house, sold the car, and put all my property into it. It can be said that I have nothing, and it is still like this in the end. It is because of my brothers, who have been with me for so many years, and get some basic salary every month. and living expenses. Today, everyone still owes them months of wages.”

"It seems that I am really not suitable for starting a business, I should give up."

Li Mu listened quietly, looking around from time to time, but there was no reaction on his face, but Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes were a little red.

"Mr. Ding, although our company decided not to vote for you, it doesn't mean that there is no hope. This Mr. Zhao is interested in what I said about the company's situation. I brought him here today just to inspect it."

Mr. Ding was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mu with surprise, and said excitedly, "Mr. Zhao, are you willing to vote for us?"

Li Mu was a little speechless, Jiang Xiaoguo was a little impatient, and this Boss Ding was also impatient. The moment they met, he revealed all the bottom of the company, even saying that he was about to go bankrupt.

If you meet a ruthless character, you will be manipulated casually. As long as you hold your breath to prevent the company from going bankrupt, Boss Ding can only hold his nose and agree to any conditions.

Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo and President Ding staring at him with hope, Li Mu nodded with a smile: "I'm interested in listening to Xiaoguo, so come and have a look."

Mr. Ding said excitedly: "Mr. Zhao, thank you, thank you, the place is simple, I will accompany you to visit."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'm sorry!"

As he said that, Mr. Ding led the two of them into the hall, kicked the camp bed and sofa a few times, and signaled the people above to go to work quickly, Mr. Ding said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I knew you were coming, so I didn't prepare. There are too many people inside. Messed up."

He pointed to the people just now and introduced: "Those brothers just worked overtime yesterday to study the algorithm, and stayed up a little late, so just sit here for a while, don't mind."

Li Mu said: "It's nothing, it's a start-up company! It's all like this. You have worked very hard and are very motivated, which is very rare."

Mr. Ding said happily, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your understanding."

Li Mu waved his hand: "You're welcome, what about your product! Can I try it out?"

Mr. Ding said straightforwardly: "No problem, Mr. Zhao please."

"This is our product prototype, which is basically mature and will be released soon. Unfortunately, the company has run out of funds now, and can't even do publicity and promotion."

Li Mu tried the red stubble, which is quite novel and fun, and the effect is not bad. Although it is a bit difficult to transform, the market potential is still quite large.

He nodded and praised: "That's right, it's very interesting. Although I can't find a way to make money for a while, the product is indeed a good product."

Boss Ding stood up excitedly, stared at Li Mu nervously and said, "Boss Zhao, you plan to vote for us."

Li Mu smiled: "I have this idea."

Mr. Ding was overjoyed all of a sudden, and ran to the lobby like the wind, jumped onto a table, stood in the middle of the crowd, waved his arms excitedly and said, "Brothers and sisters, I want to tell you a good news, our financing has been completed. We're about to raise money so we can get on with it."

The employees below suddenly went crazy, cheered for a while, and many people hugged together excitedly.

Mr. Ding managed to suppress the excitement in his heart, pointed to Li Mu and introduced: "This is our investor Mr. Zhao, everyone welcome."

Li Mu nodded and smiled at everyone.

There was another round of applause like a tsunami.

Mr. Ding continued: "It's been three years, the company has been established for three full years, and we are finally looking forward to financing. Here I would like to thank my brothers and sisters who have accompanied me over the years. Without you, there would be no me, let alone red stubble."

"I promise here that if I have a bite to eat, everyone will have something to drink. After the financing is successful, we will allocate funds and allot shares. All the salaries owed before will be paid at one time, so that everyone can have a good year."

There was another roar like a tsunami below!
After several rounds of celebrations, everyone's emotions finally recovered.

Mr. Ding said embarrassedly to Li Mu: "Sorry, we have waited for this day for too long, everyone is so happy and excited. Mr. Zhao and Ms. Jiang, I made you laugh. This way please, let's go to the office to chat! "

Li Mu laughed and said: "It's nothing, this is the true temperament. With such a group of motivated employees, I believe that Hongzhu has a bright future."

Mr. Ding nodded vigorously: "I will definitely not disappoint you."

Next, the two parties entered the stage of substantive negotiations. Hongchao has been established for three years and has not been able to raise funds. Mr. Ding's expectations for the company's valuation have also dropped, just like the financing plan sent out recently, the valuation of Hongchao The value is only 1000 million.

This is an estimated estimate, not final.As long as he can raise funds and prevent the company from going bankrupt, even if the valuation of 1000 million yuan breaks the bone, Mr. Ding will be willing.

Li Mu has no intention of continuing to lower the price. Even if it is easy to lower the price, it is meaningless to think about it when the valuation of the red stubble will rise steadily in the future.

The two talked for a while, and Li Mu readily agreed with Mr. Ding's valuation of 1000 million yuan for Red Stubble, which surprised Mr. Ding. If Li Mu is willing to bargain, the valuation is not impossible, and he is also mentally prepared.

Never thought about it, they readily agreed.

Regarding the investment amount, Li Mu directly stated that he would invest an integer of "1000 million". Mr. Ding hesitated for a moment and agreed directly.

People are so bold and straightforward, how can he still be a mother-in-law, isn't it just half of the company's shares!Although it hurts, and maybe even lose control, it is better than going bankrupt and owe a debt.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu was very thoughtful and generous, as long as he owns 40.00% of Jiu's shares, the control of the company is still in his hands.

Li Mu is really not interested in control. Knowing that Hongzhu will become a big hit due to chance and coincidence, the valuation is rolling upwards.He just wanted to take a chance and earn some pocket money, but he didn't want to keep it in his own hands.

As a result, both parties were naturally happy. Under the witness of Jiang Xiaoguo, Li Mu called lawyers and finance to complete the investment in Hongchao in the name of Zhongyou Technology.

So far, things are done, everyone is happy, just wait for the next red stubble valuation to skyrocket.

Time passed quickly, and Duan Jiabao had been Liang Shuang's agent for a while in a blink of an eye. Although it was not smooth, the two had been working together, but overall they cooperated well.

The two have a clear division of labor. Duan Jiabao is in charge of external business, while a part-time photographer takes pictures of Liang Shuang, and Liang Shuang is responsible for designing advertising plans and posting on Weibo.

The two cooperated tacitly. Sometimes, Duan Jiabao felt that it would be good to just act as Liang Shuang's agent. She worked as Ouyang Yushuang's agent for a period of time, and she found that this line of work was quite suitable for her.

The same is true for Liang Shuang. After getting along for a while, although Duan Jiabao is gluttonous and likes to chase stars, he is still quite professional in business.

However, their partnership remains private.Liang Shuang didn't care. She had a bad relationship with the other two. One was a rival in love, and the other had caused her to suffer cyber violence.

Duan Jiabao is different. She has a very good relationship with the other two. If her partnership with Liang Shuang is exposed, how can she face her two best friends.

So, I can only hide it in such a sneaky way.

In the girls' dormitory, while Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan were not there this morning, Duan Jiabao carefully moved over.

Liang Shuang cast a glance at her and said, "You are my agent, why do you make yourself look like a mistress, when are you going to have a showdown? You can't keep hiding it like this."

Duan Jiabao suddenly became distressed: "Didn't I not find an opportunity? When I find an opportunity, I will confess to them right away."

Liang Shuang snorted: "It's up to you, it's none of my business!"

Duan Jiabao was even more distressed. She didn't know how to confess, and she didn't know whether Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan should still be best friends after confessing. What if the boat of friendship capsized because of Liang Shuang!
Liang Shuang released the edited video.

While shifting the topic to another aspect: "Recently, we interact with Lilia very frequently, and we are often introduced and recommended by her. The number of fans has increased by 10,000+, and it is considered a little famous in the beauty circle. What are you talking about recently? Is there a new advertisement? The popularity is just right now, and there should be many merchants contacting it."

Speaking of this, Duan Jiabao was a little excited.

"Alright, we're talking about several commercials at the same time! Our fans have grown too fast recently, and our influence in the beauty industry has also grown a lot. We have formed a group of fixed fans, and many brands are willing to cooperate with us. Expand Cooperation."

"Besides, I've done research. They are all legitimate brands and companies. There is no negative news. Don't worry about that!"

Liang Shuang glanced at her and praised: "Yes, there is progress. Follow up well. When will you sign the contract?"

Duan Jiabao said: "We are still discussing. You have more fans recently, and your influence has also increased. The price should also increase. You can't keep using the original price. There is no consensus on this point. Some advertisers are still waiting and watching. I We are intensifying the talks recently!"

Hearing what she said, Liang Shuang was in a good mood: "Thanks for your hard work, Dabao."

Duan Jiabao said to himself: "It should be, you should do your content well, and I will take care of the client's affairs!"

Looking at the confident Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang also had a sense of pride in his heart. She wanted to be a top Internet celebrity, she wanted to be a top-ranking person, and become the most dazzling existence in the crowd.
