I don't know when Mu Chenhao also fell into a deep sleep. Most of the people on the plane fell asleep one after another. Because they crossed several time zones, the plane's sunshades were closed to allow passengers to adjust to the jet lag easily through sleep. .
This is also the approach taken by most airlines on long-haul flights.
This time, it is precisely because the companies invested by M Moser Group in North America are facing a crisis of shortage of funds. Mu Chenhao's first task is to obtain financing in the United States.
In China, it would be absolutely easy for M Moser Group's reputation to attract financing, but it is different in the United States. This company is currently only a subsidiary of M Moser Group.
But it occupies a very important position in the strategic significance of M Moser Group's internationalization, so Mu Chenhao decided to fly here to handle it in person.
This subsidiary is called "Creation Network". In the early days of its establishment, the think tank invested one million US dollars in it on behalf of Mu Chenhao. However, one million US dollars may seem like a lot, but in the Internet industry, it can be burned more than burning paper. Still fast.
This money only lasted less than a month before it bottomed out.
The advertising investment in various channels has accumulated to 500,000 U.S. dollars so far. Workers’ wages, plus server operation and other management costs, have already spent 500,000 U.S. dollars in one month. The one million U.S. dollars invested by Mu Chenhao has been used up. , we must find a new round of financing.
Regarding the new round of financing, Mu Chenhao had his own ideas, because in the two days before his arrival, he had contacted many well-known angel investors and venture capital institutions, hoping that they could participate in the financing of Creation Internet financing.
This includes Sequoia Capital, which is world-renowned!
Sequoia Capital, as the most legendary venture capital company in Silicon Valley, was founded in the 1970s. Few people know the life experience of founder Don Valentine before he founded Sequoia Capital. However, since the establishment of Sequoia Capital in 1972, it has continued to Created a miracle in the history of investment.
Familiar names such as Cisco, Apple, Oracle, Atari, and Yahoo are all venture capital investments made by Sequoia Capital.
Before coming to the United States this time, Mu Chenhao knew Edward, a partner of Sequoia Capital, and personally extended an olive branch to the Genesis Network team, hoping to come to Genesis Network as soon as possible to meet the founding team.
However, the founding team of Chuangshi Network does not include Mu Chenhao. Mu Chenhao is only the largest shareholder and investor and has actual controlling rights. The initial team of Genesis Network was a three-person team led by Eric.
But what makes Eric slightly unhappy is that almost all investors believe that Mu Chenhao is the founder, and they all asked to meet with Mu Chenhao directly in emails and phone calls. Instead, they treated the three real investors The creators of the Genesis Network turned a blind eye. But this is normal. After all, it was Mu Chenhao who ordered and executed by the think tank, which led to the development of Chuangshi Network to this day. Moreover, Mu Chenhao is the largest shareholder of Chuangshi Network, both legally and theoretically, so he enjoys it. obtained the same share rights as the founding team, saying that he is also a founder
It's not a bad idea to be one of the founders.
Edward had been in contact with Eric at the beginning. Eric didn't know Edward at that time, but he had already heard about the name of Sequoia Capital.
The partners of Sequoia Capital want to meet with their team, which proves that the potential of Genesis Network has been recognized by mainstream venture capital companies in Silicon Valley. This also makes Eric and others very excited.
So Eric immediately agreed to Edward's request to meet. Another core team member, Goldi Parker, saw that Eric was a little dazzled by the victory, and couldn't help but remind Eric, "Brother, should I go with him?" Our major shareholder will make a decision before we say it?”
Eric was originally the implicit leader of this small group of three people, and he basically made the final decisions on major issues. But now he was slightly dissatisfied with Mu Chenhao's "stealing" the identity of the founder of Chuangshi Network, so he immediately said, "No, we are the owners of Chuangshi Network, and we have all its rights." . Mu Chenhao is just our first round of angel investors. I think we are with
Sequoia Capital’s contacts do not need to be reported to him. "
Gaudi Park said patiently, "Eric, we are not reporting to him, we are just informing him. After all, he now owns 40% of the shares. And our cooperation has always been quite pleasant. I think we should inform him of this." ”
Eric said nonchalantly, "No need to do this. Mu Chenhao should also want capital to intervene as soon as possible. Only if we introduce a capital giant like Sequoia Capital, we can develop faster. I believe he will not have any objections!" Gaudi Parker sighed. Since the initial success of Genesis Network, Eric has become stubborn and even arrogant. Recently, this phenomenon has become more and more serious. He has heard a lot of complaints from his subordinates behind his back. Almost all of them are dissatisfied with Eric's recent arrogance.
.
Eric quickly typed out an email on the computer and replied to Edward. The letter said that Edward was welcome to come to the Genesis Network to meet at any time.
Edward soon received Eric's reply, and he quickly arranged his next trip. A prestigious investor like him has to hold at least three investment meetings every day, review and approve dozens of investment plans, and work is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
This kind of work intensity is not something that most people can bear, but Edward has maintained this kind of work for five years.
Even with superhuman energy, Edward would find it a bit laborious. But whether they are the elites of Wall Street or the investment giants of Silicon Valley, if they want to gain a foothold in the investment industry, a field where the law of the jungle is strictly enforced, everyone has no choice but to fight in this way.
This is a world where only paranoia and perfectionists can survive.
Edward took out a small medicine box from his briefcase, which contained four or five different capsules and tablets. Edward took out several medicines, drank some water and swallowed them.
For them, only various nutritional medicines and stimulants can maintain sufficient energy. Even if it causes slow damage to the body, there is no other way.
Edward is scheduled to meet with the Chuangshi Network team tomorrow morning. Chuangshi Network is the most promising one among the several new entrepreneurial projects he is currently investigating. Therefore, he also has a strong interest in meeting the founding team of this company.
Especially since the largest shareholder of this company is actually a Chinese, Edward has an inexplicable fondness for him. This not only comes from the inherent curiosity about Chinese people, but also from the fact that Mu Chenhao and he have the same investment vision. He was also looking forward to seeing Mu Chenhao this time!
