Therefore, Wu An could only choose to join one of the capitals.
No matter which capital camp you join, it is a win-win cooperation.
So that summer, Wu An's company completed its A round of financing. In this round of financing, the company was directly valued at 1 billion. It sold 10% of its equity in exchange for 100 million in financing.
Among them, T Consortium, a southern consortium with a huge social platform, led the investment, followed by a number of large and small investors.
Wu An not only received the financing, but also received the consortium's technical support and Internet social resources.
As long as there are no irreparable mistakes later, the rest of the road will basically be smooth sailing.
However, only Wu An and Li Yuhua knew the bitterness and sadness they went through before receiving the 100 million yuan investment.
In order to establish good relationships with various big investors, daily socializing is essential.
Use your charm to convince investors and build good relationships with them.
In particular, we need to establish good relations with the large southern conglomerate called T Group.
The person sent by the consortium to contact Wu An was another strong woman in her thirties who was well-maintained.
She came with bad intentions, and she threw out the consortium's investment plan as soon as she arrived. If Wu An and his team did not comply, the consortium would immediately develop similar products to seize the market and push Wu An and his team's "group APP" to the edge.
Wu An had no doubt that they would do so, because it was common knowledge that the consortium used its talent and capital to "educate" uncooperative start-ups.
Wu An had no intention of confronting them from the beginning.
I just think about whether I can get more benefits from them.
Wu An has already thought about how to negotiate.
——If the other person is a man, she will borrow Li Yuhua's identity for a while and use moderate beauty to win his favor.
If the person on the other end is a woman, then you go ahead and do it yourself.
As a result, a strong woman came.
On the day of the interview, Wu An and Li Yuhua happened to exchange bodies.
At that banquet, "that Wu An" was responsible for being handsome, while Wu An was responsible for Li Yuhua's beauty.
Then, Li Yuhua took on the "pain" of pleasing the "old woman".
She used Wu An's "gentleness" to melt the heart of that seemingly iron-blooded woman.
At that time, as Li Yuhua, she watched "that self" pleasing that woman. She seemed to have drunk a lot of wine and seemed to have given up a lot of her dignity.
If possible, Wu An hopes to face that woman alone and fill his stomach with dignity and each glass of wine.
Instead of relying on Li Yuhua.
After Li Yuhua's efforts, the woman from T Group began to have a good impression of Wu An.
As a result, in the consultations and negotiations in the following days, the negotiation process became much smoother.
The original terms of "obeying" the strategic arrangements of the T Group turned into "negotiating" the promotion of the T Group.
A gambling clause that was originally written into the agreement, which stated that "if the promotion fails to achieve the target, the shares must be transferred unconditionally," was cancelled.
The original terms that designated T Group managers to be stationed in Huaan Company and to hold certain important positions were also changed to "dispatching specialists to provide guidance."
Etc., etc……
Behind these smooth negotiations, Wu An will never forget:
That day, "that self" resisted the urge to get drunk, and when he returned to the hotel, he held the toilet and vomited for a long time.
Then he hugged Wu An, who was still Li Yuhua, and excitedly showed off his success.
Just like a little child seeking praise, he looked up at his innocent face while drunk.
Then she buried her face in "her" dress-wrapped chest.
——That day, Li Yuhua bore everything for him.
Wu An couldn't do anything.
I just hugged "that self" tightly, let him rest his head on my shoulder, and fell asleep mumbling foolishly.
Then, she kissed him on the forehead.
——At that time, Li Yuhua was still very cute even if she was Wu An.
"Thank you dear."
"You work hard for me tonight."
“I will have to work harder in the future.”
……
In short, the company's Series A financing was successfully obtained.
When signing the A round financing agreement, in order to achieve a publicity effect, the signing ceremony was held in the form of a press conference.
The ceremony was held in an academic lecture hall at Peking University and Tsinghua University.
On this day, Wu An put on the small suit designed for him by Li Yuhua, carefully styled his hair, and entered the venue under the focus of the media.
It was as if an idol had descended upon us.
At the podium, Wu An confidently explained the subsequent development plan after receiving the 100 million yuan investment led by T Group.
Then an investment agreement was signed with the lady from T Group.
The dust has settled.
After receiving this financing, Wu An quickly became a celebrity, and even... became a hot topic.
——Wu An, the founder of Baotuan APP, received a RMB 100 million Series A financing led by T Foundation. He is only 20 years old.
——Twenty-year-old entrepreneur Wu An is a handsome guy who can debut on the spot.
——Wu An, a student from Peking University and Tsinghua University, promotes a new social platform called “grouping”. Can it shake the social status of T Foundation?
……
For a time, news about Wu An and the "Baotuan" APP was flying everywhere.
It is foreseeable that:
At this press conference, Wu An promoted his persona of "young and handsome idol founder" to the society.
With the exposure of the press conference, the Baotuan APP quickly became known to more people.
But these are not what Wu An wants to focus on today.
On the evening after the signing ceremony and press conference, Wu An and Li Yuhua, as well as company executives like Lin Xiaoxiao, had a meal with the ladies and investors from T Group.
There was a lot of drinking and chatting at the dinner.
By the end of the banquet, Wu An, who had drunk several glasses of wine, was still slightly tipsy, but not completely drunk.
After saying goodbye to the guests, Wu An wanted to take a walk back to his home.
——With Li Yuhua.
The hotel is several kilometers away from home, so taking the subway or a taxi is a wise choice. But Wu An just wants to walk.
Walking on the road, the hustle and bustle of the roadside has nothing to do with him.
Only the people you love are around you.
It's a world for two people.
These days, although Wu An and Li Yuhua are often together, Wu An is more worried about the development of the company and learning new knowledge in this rapidly changing world.
Even though he often kissed and hugged Li Yuhua, it seemed... he hadn't been able to calm down and enjoy the time with Li Yuhua for a long time.
——In order to be able to "take responsibility for Li Yuhua" at that time, Wu An did not dare to relax himself.
But that day, the Series A financing had been completed.
Wu An has tied the company to the chariot of one of the largest financial groups in the country. Although there is no guarantee that the "grouping APP" will be successful in the future, once on board, it can at least guarantee half of the success.
After three angel rounds of financing, it can only be said that the company has successfully stepped out of its cradle.
After the A round of financing, he grew into a teenager.
No need to stumble around and be careful of everything around you, it's time to run at full speed relying on your own strength.
Although mistakes may be made and falls may occur, one no longer needs to be afraid of the risks that “little kids” worry about.
To take a step back, even if Wu An retreated behind the scenes and stopped caring about things, the company would probably be able to develop well.
Even more, if he just sold the company and acquired assets worth billions - that would probably give Li Yuhua the financial freedom she deserves.
Now, as I am now, can I be responsible for Li Yuhua?
Wu An...don’t know.
But he actually knew.
I just feel that if I say "yes", it would be like a dream.
After coming out of the hotel, Wu An said goodbye to several big investors, declined the invitation of the special car driver who was waiting on the side, and walked towards the capital with Li Yuhua.
Wu An took off his suit jacket and put it on Li Yuhua.
That day, Li Yuhua wore a light blue satin halter backless dress.
She put on a gentle and elegant makeup, and accompanied Wu An, like a little bird, and together with Wu An, they became the shining stars at the banquet.
But Wu An doesn't want the eldest lady to walk on the street in an evening gown.
——The street is not a suitable place to wear an evening gown.
She doesn't want the lustful eyes of men and women on the street to fall on her chest and shoulders.
By the way, although it is very hot in Beijing during the day in summer, the temperature is still relatively low at night.
We can't let this young lady catch a cold.
After putting clothes on her, Wu An's eyes couldn't help but linger on Li Yuhua's face.
Previously at the banquet, Wu An had no chance to take a good look at Li Yuhua because he had to deal with guests from all sides.
After leaving the hotel, I was finally able to take a good look at her.
