Although Yu Ming and Liu Ge belong to two different investment companies, they have known each other since the day they entered the workplace, and they are very good friends.
At the beginning, they worked as interns in the same investment company, and later passed the internship period together and entered Jinshan Capital.
Later, Yu Ming was dug out from Jinshan Capital by a headhunter and came to Jinhui to invest, while Liu Ge stayed in Jinshan Capital.
They have done very well in their respective companies, and within a few years they have taken the positions of directors of the investment department.
Although the two are not in the same company, but because of this, there is no direct competition between them, but they have maintained a very good relationship.
Therefore, they have some cooperation in business from time to time, and exchange information.
Over the years, thanks to their "efforts", the relationship between Jinshan Capital and Jinhui Investment has become very good, which is like a brotherly unit.
This time Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables was spun off and a new round of financing was conducted. Yu Ming originally hoped that Jinhui Investment could take care of it on his own.
However, after communicating with Chen Mu, he found that Chen Mu did not intend to hand over the new round of financing of Xiaoer Xianshu to a certain company, but wanted to share it with each other and introduce a new investor.
Therefore, he immediately brought Liu Ge over, hoping to make Jinshan Capital one of the investors of Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables.
In this way, relying on the relationship between their two families, they will be able to advance and retreat together in the future when dealing with Xiaoer Xianshu's affairs, and gain more right to speak.
But what he didn't expect was that Liu Ge actually wanted to quit after the first meeting.
"Old Liu, don't worry, this matter has just begun, don't you even have the patience for this?"
Yu Ming thought about it and began to persuade his old friend.
He is familiar with Liu Ge's temperament and is a capable and conceited person.
Liu Ge's conceit sometimes makes people feel that his eyes are too high and his eyes are too high.
When he first met Liu Ge, he didn't like this man's arrogant temper.
It was only because I was assigned to a group during the internship and had to cooperate and get in touch with the other party that I gradually got to know this person and finally became friends.
Yu Ming felt that as long as he explained the truth clearly, he should be able to convince Liu Ge.
"Let's put it this way, I know more about Chen Mu than you do. After all, it's not just a matter of a day or two for me to get in touch with him. Not much to say, this may be the biggest advantage of him, I won't say too much about this, I mainly want to talk about his personal ability... "
Yu Ming slowly told about his contact with Chen Mu. He needed to convey a clear message to Liu Ge, that is, Chen Mu was a far more capable person than he appeared on the surface.
Liu Ge didn't interrupt Yu Ming's words, but listened carefully. After listening, he thought for a while and said, "Old Yu, you have to be clear that there is no shortage of lucky people in this country. This kind of person often takes himself to a very high position with a good idea or a good opportunity.
Perhaps, this kind of person's luck will always be good, and it is not impossible to support him to go on and achieve his whole life.
But for me, you know, what I believe in is value, and I will only invest in the value that I value, whether it is the value of people, the value of things, or anything else.
As for luck, it's never something I can control and predict, so I won't invest in it.
What you said is actually consistent with the background check I conducted before. What you said was more specific, but it didn't impress me.
I still have a feeling that Chen Mu is a very lucky person, although I don't know where his luck comes from, but I still think so. "
If Chen Mu was present at this time, he would definitely pat Liu Ge on the thigh for what he said.
Because it was so right, he was just lucky.
If it wasn't for good luck, how could he get that little square seal for Xiao Er's bowl of milk? How could there be these later encounters
After all, it's actually good luck.
It's just that his luck is not the same as others'. His luck has been transformed into something real, a black technology map in his mind.
The map has brought him a lot of abilities that others don't have, and it is these abilities that really make him.
And these abilities, the closer people are to him, the more clearly they can see them, and the farther away they are, the more they think they are luck... Just like Liu Ge.
After hearing Liu Ge's words, Yu Ming didn't know how to refute, and he didn't know how to explain.
For example, in the last investment, Jinhui Investment was actually forced to invest in Muya Forestry at a very high valuation.
At that time, Yu Ming even felt that this investment was a failure for a long time.
But because it was a decision made by a higher level of the company, he had no way to influence it.
It is said that the top management of the company got the wind from the air conditioner, and the air conditioner will focus on supporting Muya Forestry, because it has very important strategic significance to this country.
For a company like this, even if there is no return for investing in it, at least in the short term, Jinhui Investment will find a way to invest.
This is why Jinhui Investment was willing to squeeze in at such a high valuation last time.
However, what he didn't expect was that in a very short period of time, the investment that he was not optimistic about, bloomed with energy that he could not have expected, and quickly turned into a very profitable investment. I even feel that this may become a classic case in the industry in the future.
Because of this experience, Yu Ming believed in Chen Mu, because Chen Mu had indeed achieved something that many people could not.
In retrospect, Chen Mu also called out a very high valuation for Muya Forestry in the last financing, and he acted confidently, which was exactly the same as his performance this time.
Yu Ming didn't object to saying that Chen Mu was lucky, but he felt that Chen Mu also had strong abilities.
Xiaoer Xianshu grew from scratch in Chen Mu's hands, and Yu Ming noticed it.
Yu Ming felt that compared to the last time, the investment value of Xiao Er Xian Vegetable was greater this time.
After all, since Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables opened the market in Wucheng Commercial District, its business has started to get on the right track.
Afterwards, they will need a lot of funds for expansion, but the success of the five-city commercial district has shown that their business model is promising and not illusory.
With business and prospects, such investments are definitely welcome in the capital market.
The only problem now is that the valuation is too high, far exceeding investors' expectations.
However, Chen Mu acted very tough, making people feel that he was a bit self-willed and blindly arrogant, so after the first contact with him, the perception was not good, just like Liu Ge, who was completely unacceptable, and immediately felt like quitting.
Yu Ming said: "Old Liu, let go of your prejudices first, you can first assume that Chen Mu is a very capable person, far more capable than anyone else you have ever met, and he is still very young. Wouldn't it be easier to accept the arrogance of your heart?"
Liu Ge frowned: "Where is his ability reflected?"
Yu Ming said: "You can get in touch with yourself slowly, take your time, don't be in a hurry... well, if you insist on telling me, you can take a look at what happened to the Muya Research Institute under his hands in the past two years. How many patents, isn’t the value in it big enough?”
Liu Ge said: "If he is willing to put the patented technology of Muya Research Institute into Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables, even if it is only a part, then his valuation is ten times higher, and I am willing to accept it.
But the problem is that Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables does not own any patented technology, and even the patented technology of their greenhouse system is only authorized for permanent use.
Under such circumstances, he called out such a high valuation, um, such an attitude is really hard to accept. "
After a slight pause, Liu Ge looked at his old friend, and persuaded him very seriously: "With his temperament, it's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, it must be a big deal...Old Yu, I advise you to get out early, otherwise once If there is any problem, you will lose completely."
At this point in the conversation, Yu Ming could see that Liu Ge was determined, and he couldn't persuade him.
He was really helpless, he didn't expect that it was just a meeting, and Chen Mu directly "scare" away an investor he had brought over.
It seems that this matter needs to be discussed with Chen Mu carefully, and remind him to pay attention, it can't be like this again.
But at the same time, Yu Ming also felt sorry for his old friend.
Yu Ming had a hunch that Liu Ge would definitely regret this decision at some point in the future, and it would become his great regret.
With Liu Ge's self-confidence in his abilities and his confidence in his own eyesight, even if Xiaoer Xianshu succeeds for a period of time, he will not regret it, because he firmly believes that Chen Mu's personality is too tough, and he is too human. Too conceited, so Xiaoer Xianshu will have problems sooner or later in Chen Mu's hands.
But Yu Ming felt that Xiaoer Xianshu had a promising future and would definitely succeed. Maybe then, Liu Ge would really wake up and regret his decision at this moment.
In fact, in private, Yu Ming doesn't think the valuation of 3 billion is "too high", it's just "on the high side".
Early the next morning, Liu Ge led the people from Jinshan Capital to leave.
When Chen Mu heard the news, he was very surprised. He didn't expect that he really didn't leave the scene with a strategy similar to bargaining, but really left in a huff.
"Mr. Yu, is my offer really that exaggerated?"
Chen Mu didn't regard Yu Ming as an outsider, so he couldn't help asking.
Yu Ming didn't say "too much", just said "it's a bit high", and then said what he wanted to bring Chen Mu's attention to.
After Chen Mu listened, he thought about it seriously, nodded and admitted his mistake: "That's right, Mr. Yu, you are right, it seems that I was too eager for success, and I should review this."
Yu Ming was about to say something similar to "children can be taught", but Chen Mu went on to say: "But I admit my mistakes, but I will never correct them. Everyone is so familiar, I don't need to hide it, because I am very familiar with it. For us, efficiency is the most important thing."
Yu Ming was speechless. Looking at the kid in front of him, he couldn't help but start thinking about whether Liu Ge's words made some sense...
Chen Mu didn't notice Yu Ming's strangeness, and said: "We are short on time now, the new round of financing must be implemented as soon as possible, and the next layout of Xiaoer Xianshu cannot be delayed, so there is no time to run in with new investors Communicate with Mr. Yu, do you have any other investors to recommend, it is best to get into the state as soon as possible."
Blame me
Yu Ming was even more speechless.
What Chen Mu said... tsk, he really didn't treat him as an outsider at all.
After pondering for a while, Yu Ming couldn't help but half-jokingly said: "Mr. Chen, since you know that this round of financing must be implemented as soon as possible, then don't hold on to such a high valuation, and lower the valuation." Jiang, isn't there not so much to do?"
Chen Mu shook his head solemnly: "I don't believe it. This valuation is my bottom line. If you don't agree, I'd rather find a way by myself."
After a slight pause, he added: "I've already thought about the last move. At most, let Muya Forestry also recruit an investment company, and directly invest in Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables at a valuation of three billion."
Yu Ming looked at Chen Mu angrily: "Our companies are also shareholders of Muya Forestry. What you do is to use our money to subsidize Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables. Have you asked our opinion?"
"I'm the chairman, I have the final say, you can't have any opinions."
Chen Mu brushed his hair confidently, full of force.
Yu Ming frowned: "Mr. Chen, at this time, I suggest you not try to anger your investors."
Chen Mu laughed, and immediately came over and hooked Ming Mao's hands and feet to show his affection, and said: "Mr. Yu, think of a way to see if you can attract other investors. The main thing is to be able to enter the state as soon as possible." , don’t waste too much time on things like early communication.”
After hearing this, Yu Ming really wanted to help his forehead.
How can there be such a thick-skinned person
Is it really stupid to have people invest money in you, or invest money at such an inflated valuation, but think that people don’t even communicate in the early stage
Yu Ming didn't think he knew such a colleague.
If he could really find such a colleague, he felt that he would have to deal less with such people in the future to avoid being infected.
But I don't know why, although Yu Ming's heart is full of slander, but the words become: "Mr. Chen, give me some time, I will try to contact you again."
In the next few days, the matter of financing continued to be discussed—
They are mainly grinding back and forth on the matter of valuation, and no one can convince anyone.
Although Yu Ming has always insisted on his bottom line and disagreed with the valuation of 3 billion yuan, privately he is still contacting new investors for Muya Forestry.
Things took a turn five days later...
Ma Yu brought in a person who said he was willing to accept a valuation of 3 billion to participate in this round of financing for Xiaoer Fresh Vegetables.
