Chapter 167 I’m not interested in money
Overall, today's meeting was a success, but the atmosphere was a bit tense afterward.

After the meeting, Qin Shaoyan stood up to see him off, and the conference room quickly became empty.

The remaining two groups, Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan, were still sitting there, exchanging glances with each other.

Zheng Nan waved his hand and dismissed the assistant translators and looked at Xiong Xiaoge, who was motionless.

"Mr. Xiong, why do I feel that what Taylor said just now is wrong?" Zheng Nan frowned and said, "Aren't he and Qin Shaoyan singing a double act?"

"We have to be on guard." Xiong Xiaoge nodded with a straight face, "It's unreasonable to let founders cash out even if there is a Series B round."

"Maybe it was just for us to watch. Qin Shaoyan might also mention cashing out to us."

Zheng Nan also agreed with Xiong Xiaoge. He had been fooled once.

Previously, Qin Shaoyan used their Chinese Sequoia to force American Sequoia away, and then used Facebook's valuation to increase the valuation of Campus Network.

Otherwise, how could a campus network with only 200,000 users be valued at an outrageous figure of 1.5 billion.

"Mr. Zheng, please cooperate with me in a moment." Xiong Xiaoge made a decisive decision, "I need to take good care of Qin Shaoyan."

"We at IDG will also follow." Xiong Xiaoge said seriously, "Since everyone is optimistic about Campus Network, we can't let Qin Shaoyan cash out, otherwise we will be locked in if he runs away before the IPO."

"I must follow you." Zheng Nan said without hesitation, "We at Sequoia will not give up on such a potential project as the campus network. How about you, Mr. Xiong?"

After Qin Shaoyan enthusiastically sent away the American venture capital group, he returned to the office and saw Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan sitting there.

"Who is this weirdo between you two?" Qin Shaoyan was very unhappy, "I'm short of money, can you two give me gold coins?"

Fortunately, Qin Shaoyan does have the ability to make the campus network so impressive that the valuation of 1.5 billion is considered worthwhile.

The two of them looked at Qin Shaoyan quietly without speaking.

Xiong Xiaoge snorted coldly, "Taylor said that the next round of financing will let you cash out and improve your life."

But why does today's meeting look familiar?

Zheng Nan sighed, "A monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is really not enough."

Xiong Xiaoge glanced at Qin Shaoyan and said, "I remember Mr. Qin is still single. Is he in love?"

Xiong Xiaoge is well-informed, and he has learned from the past that venture capital firms are trapped by entrepreneurs, and he must guard against it.

Xiong Xiaoge sighed, "Mr. Qin is getting older, and it's time to drive a luxury car, live in a mansion, and wear a famous watch like other CEOs."

"Yes, we need to give him a try." Zheng Nan agreed, "We can't let them use us as a cash machine."

Zheng Nan nodded.

"Our campus network can't lag behind others, right? If you want to cash out, just tell us a number."

Qin Shaoyan felt confused, "Boss, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?"

"What did I say that I wanted to cash out?" Qin Shaoyan's face turned dark at that time, "I am working my ass off to build the campus network, is it just to make a few cash out?"

"Mr. Qin, are you short of money recently?" Xiong Xiaoge took over the question, "If you are short of money, just tell me, and we will definitely not embarrass Mr. Qin."

Xiong Xiaoge also felt something was wrong. He looked at Zheng Nan and asked, "Are you following round B?"

The two quickly reached an agreement.

"You guys underestimate me, Qin Shaoyan."

"Have you made any money for me in the nine months since the campus network was established? In addition to your 300 million yuan, I also invested several million in the early stage."

"I worked day and night to get the campus network to where it is now. If I really want to make money, what kind of campus network should I do?"

"Did you see that the game company downstairs can earn me 20 million US dollars if I work for a month? Can the campus network reach this level?"

Xiong Xiaoge: "..." Zheng Nan: "..."

What he said makes sense.

Qin Shaoyan said angrily: "I started the campus network to make some achievements and for a greater cause."

"I didn't start my business just for your stinky venture capital money."

Xiong Xiaoge coughed awkwardly, "It's okay, don't speak so harshly."

Zheng Nan looked at Xiong Xiaoge in disbelief. Your attitude changed too quickly.

Qin Shaoyan did not go down the steps, but became even more angry, "Investors and entrepreneurs should have a relationship of mutual trust and cooperation. How can I do this if you are suspicious here all day long?"

Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said, "Look, you are in a hurry."

"We have always believed in you, otherwise why would we have invested 300 million in you without hesitation."

"And we will continue to invest in the next round. If we don't have confidence in you, why would we spend a lot of money on you?"

Qin Shaoyan glared at the two of them and said angrily: "What you just said was so chilling!"

"Why do you drive a luxury car and live in a mansion? Isn't this mocking me?"

"I'm still renting a house for 3,500 yuan a month. I still share the house with Zhang Pingyi, and we share the water and electricity equally."

"The two cars purchased by the company are usually used to entertain clients. We usually ride bicycles to and from get off work, but they were stolen last week."

"My Patek Philippe was given as a gift from another company."

With that said, Qin Shaoyan took off his watch and threw it on the table.

Zheng Nan said quickly: "Mr. Qin, don't get me wrong, we have no other intentions."

"Taylor just said that Mr. Qin's life is too poor, and we agree."

"Actually, we also want to ask Mr. Qin if you want to cash out part of the money in the next round to improve your life."

Xiong Xiaoge thought for a while and then said: "You can cash out a little, and at least buy a house to live in. This is convenient."

Qin Shaoyan snorted coldly, "I'm not interested in money. I don't like money."

"I have no need to cash out at all."

Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan looked at each other in confusion.

Is it really wrong?
This is a bit embarrassing.

"I ask you not to keep your eyes on me, but on the campus network." Qin Shaoyan said angrily, "The campus network is our foundation. We need to develop it as soon as possible and IPO it as soon as possible. Only then can we It’s our common goal.”

"That's right." Qin Shaoyan suddenly said again, "I am now informing the two bosses that after the Athens Olympics and before the start of the new semester, the campus network will conduct Series B financing to carry out the next expansion plan."

"The valuation is five billion, will you follow?"

Xiong Xiaoge nodded, "Five billion...yes!"

When Zheng Nan saw this, he immediately said, "We at Sequoia are also following."

Qin Shaoyan was stunned and regretted a little.

There seems to be less shouting!
However, Qin Shaoyan didn't hesitate. After sending away the two suspicious VCs, he immediately called Fred to inquire about the progress there.

Fred immediately said that the public relations team and officials from the International Olympic Committee have been in contact.

There's just a problem. The other party wants to collect money, but doesn't really want to do anything.
