205 Hug one if you can
Angel investment platform.
Ye Chen filtered through the text almost ten lines at a glance.
After all, among those who are seeking investment, there are very few with real potential.
And what he has to do.
It is to collect those dark horse projects from previous lives.
Although the real big investors will never abandon these platforms.
But now he can only focus on the platform for the time being. Well, if he can get one, then that's it.
In front of the computer.
Ye Chen kept scanning the project information and brand information above, and scanned dozens of pages.
Then he suddenly stopped the mouse.
Relatively.
On the computer screen.
A hotpot brand called Jianghu.
A sportswear brand called 'Shenlong'.
A shared bike brand called 'Suixing'. These three brands.
We are now on the same page.
It has to be said that if brands like these want to seek investment, normally their efforts will fall on deaf ears.
Almost all investors with some status won't even look at it.
Because whether it's hot pot, sportswear, or shared bicycles.
The domestic market has long been extremely saturated.
There are countless brands in these industries that have experienced ups and downs.
However, it is basically impossible for newcomers to get a share of the dividend pie in the capital market.
But in Ye Chen's previous life memory.
In their previous lives, these three brands managed to fight their way back to success after obtaining financing.
For example, 'Jiang Hu Hotpot'.
After completing the financing in the previous life, relying on the service, environment and ingredients that were far superior to Haidilao, and with the explosive word-of-mouth, it rose from the grassroots to compete with Haidilao, and then frantically eroded Haidilao's market share.
'Jiang Hu Hotpot' has completed this counterattack in just a few years.
In less than five years, it has been valued at 60 billion!
Compared with the brand "Jianghu", the other two brands are also dark horses in the business world.
But once compared, it pales in comparison.
On balance.
Ye Chen still passed up the other two brands.
All that's left in my eyes is Jianghu Hotpot.
But what he wants is not just investment, but absolute control!
He rubbed his tired eyes.
Ye Chen exhaled a breath of foul air.
I dialed the other party's mobile phone number using the contact information left on the platform.
The call was connected quickly.
"Hello, hello!" the other party said.
"Mr. Liu Xiliu?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.
"Who are you?" the other end asked doubtfully.
"Does your Jianghu Hotpot need to seek investment now?" Ye Chen asked.
"Are you interested in investing in Jianghu Hotpot?
Liu Xi over there suddenly started breathing rapidly.
With Jianghu Hotpot's current business model and profits, it can still make a living in the hotpot industry by making steady progress.
But these are not what Liu Xi wants. Not to mention that he will not be satisfied with just a sip of soup. In this constantly changing and subverted market, if you don't have your own absolute characteristics, you will definitely not be able to last long.
Have you seen how many brands have collapsed in the hot pot market over the years?
In the end, all of this contributed to the success of Haidilao.
Therefore, even though Jianghu Hotpot now occupies a very small market share, he has already started thinking about transformation.
It must transform, and it must be a transformation comparable to Haidilao, otherwise it can only become a stepping stone for the next emerging brand!
It is based on this idea that Liu Xi, who currently only has stores in the Pearl River Delta and the Pan-Pearl River Delta region, wants to
Break down current barriers through financing.
It's not like he hasn't tried to find investors.
However, since Haidilao has the sole dominance in the market, it is impossible for it to win the favor of investors.
So much so that they had to switch to the angel investment platform.
But I didn't expect that it would happen within a few days.
Someone actually came to my door on his own initiative.
"Yes, can we find a place to have a good chat?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, of course! May I know your name, sir?" Liu Xi asked anxiously without thinking.
"Ye Chen, Ye of Ye Zi, Chen of Sun, Moon and Stars!" Ye Chen said. Ye Chen?
Liu Xi thought hard for a while.
But I still have no impression of this name.
But this did not prevent him from meeting the other party.
"Mr. Ye, where shall we meet?" Liu Xi asked.
"The registered place of 'Jiang Hu Hotpot' is Jiangzhou, so are you in Jiangzhou?" Ye Chen asked.
"Yes, I'm in Jiangzhou now!"
"Okay, then come to DO·A Cafe! I'll wait for you there. When you get to the door, just tell the waiter that you're here to see Mr. Ye. They will bring you over. Remember... bring your project book!" Ye Chen said.
However, when saying this, I couldn't avoid a sense of disobedience.
Well...when I first negotiated with the Hengda Group about the Admiralty Village site, it seemed that Xiao Qiang, the then vice president of Hengda, also spoke to me in the same way, except that she did not ask me to bring a project book.
"DOA Cafe? Ok, when is it?"
After hearing the name DO·A.
Liu Xi was shocked again.
Although DOA is just a coffee shop, its entry requirement is membership and membership invitation system.
In other words, even if you have money, you may not be able to go into DOA to spend money. At least, Liu Xi's level is far from qualified.
Thinking about it this way, the other party must be someone of high status and background?
"About an hour later, is that convenient?" Ye Chen said.
"That's convenient. Then Mr. Ye... shall we meet in an hour?" Liu Xi said.
"Well, see you in an hour!
Hang up the phone.
Ye Chen didn't bother to change into formal clothes.
Wearing the casual suit that Yinuo bought for him.
Considering the traffic jam, we didn't set out on time but set off early.
On the big G.
Thinking about the series of things I will do next.
Ye Chen's hunger for money gradually increased.
Although based on his decades of prophetic memory.
There is no need to rush to make money.
But he had already made a promise to Yan Huaili that he would provide a solution within a year that would allow him to have an exclusive office building in the CBD.
This way, he would not be able to develop slowly and leisurely and start from scratch.
Therefore, acquisition and investment are the main themes in the future. But no matter whether it is acquisition or investment, the ones that Ye Chen can focus on are
Those are all big deals, and they require money, lots and lots of money.
This also forced him to feel a sense of urgency.
At least within a year, he wants to establish the Tenglong Group as a brand!
As for the money, the income from Yiren Ruxue alone was obviously not enough to satisfy his plan.
There aren't many bargains to be found among those antiques, and even if there are, they are just a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately.
There is an opportunity for him to make a fortune in the stock market soon...
After this wave, at least the hunger for capital accumulation can be alleviated.
Under Ye Chen's complicated thoughts.
D.O.A. has arrived. Stop the Big G.
He took out the Bauhinia black card that Li Changfeng had given him.
In an instant, Ye Chen seemed to have become the most distinguished person in this D·O·A coffee shop.
Inform the waiters and ask them to bring the person over later.
Ye Chen asked for a glass of boiled water and picked up the financial newspaper that was changed every day.
Waiting for the arrival of Liu Xi, the founder of Jianghu Hotpot.
