Chapter 340 Venture Capital

To Lei Jun's surprise, he didn't wait too long, and soon the secretary informed him that he could prepare for a meeting.

You should know that he and Zhang Yida are not the only ones in the conference room he was waiting for. Depending on the situation, there are a lot of people who have been waiting for for a long time, but he can only go to the lineup. What does this mean?

Zhang Yida is not as meticulous as Lei Jun, but he is also very happy with the attention of Fanhan Group.

He held Lei Jun's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Hey, I will meet Fanhan's boss later. No matter what the final agreement is, you must remember to invest in the project!"

Lei Jun couldn't get ridiculous, so he patted his hands and stood up and followed the secretary and walked out.

He is just an unknown project manager. How could He De be valued by those who control the huge empire of Fanhan Group? This is a question that Lei Jun has been buried in his heart, but he can't find the answer at all. It's not reasonable to say that others are planning to him. But after being in the world for a long time, Lei Jun has long learned how to protect himself.

Although he had heard of it for a long time, he was still shocked by his youth when he saw Zhou Shuo. Zhou Shuo graduated from Emperor's Post in 1993, while Lei Jun graduated from Wuhan University in 1991. The age difference between the two was only two years, and the gap between the two years was one in the sky and the other underground.

Lei Jun, who was originally a little proud of his achievements, really couldn't be proud of his pride in front of Zhou Shuo. In fact, he is not a domineering president, but he should be more like a cheerful technician.

He was 28 years old this year, the brightest age in his life. He would not feel like he had lost face just because his achievements were not as good as others. There are thousands of possibilities in the future. Any achievements are only temporary.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Lei Jun." Lei Jun pushed open the door and saw Zhou Shuo wipe his face with a warm towel.

These days, we have been nervous and frequent meetings with various figures. It is really a big burden for Zhou Shuo, who has never been in charge of specific matters. It seems that he has not done anything big, but this is also a necessary homework to maintain the Panhan Empire. He really has to do it even if he has to bite the bullet.

"Ah, please sit down." Zhou Shuo put down the hot towel in his hand, and his previous fatigue seemed to be temporarily covered up. Speaking of which, although the meeting with Lei Jun was much more important than the previous jobs, it was more like rest for him. He also worked with his brain, but human intentions determined the speed of fatigue to a great extent.

"How is it? Is the journey going smoothly? Have you encountered any trouble?" Zhou Shuo waved and asked the secretary who was about to knock on the door to come in directly and put a cup of tea in front of Lei Jun.

Zhou Shuo's secretary is a new face. Dongfang Ke no longer serves as his secretary, but is familiar with Niu Xing's handover.

Since Dongfang Ke left, Zhou Shuo realized how important he played. He used to work alone, but now he has to be equipped with a whole secretariat. In terms of feeling, the secretariat of these eight people is not as useful as he is.

"Thank you for your concern." Lei Jun took the teacup from his secretary's hand with both hands, turned his head and smiled at Zhou Shuo: "Everything went well on the road. Xiucheng is a very beautiful city."

Zhou Shuo nodded and said happily: "That's good. Please stay here first. If you don't rush back, you can have fun around the Xiucheng. April is coming. It's a good time for a spring outing."

Lei Jun smiled, obviously not expecting that Zhou Shuo was so approachable. Nowadays, many bosses are either full of nouveau riche-like rudeness, or inherit the majesty of leadership from state-owned enterprises. They have no conscious attitude towards Zhou Shuo, who has no "rich people" at all. Lei Jun is still very comfortable in his heart.

After saying a few polite words, Zhou Shuo finally talked about his work.

"I think Manager Lei should already know what I mean. Fanhan Group is preparing to set up a venture capital fund specifically for the electronic information industry, to be precise, to establish a venture capital fund in the Internet field." Zhou Shuo picked up a document on his desk and pushed Lei Jun down and said, "This is the general situation of the fund. Manager Lei can take a look first."

Lei Jun did not rush to speak, but actually opened the information and started to read it carefully.

This is a business plan, and Zhou Shuo did not bring up his usual set of "idealism". In a company, enterprise or project, you can talk about idealism or ideology, but it is not possible to do venture capital. Even if it is a highly professional electronic information industry venture capital, its purpose cannot be positioned as "supporting China's Internet industry" and "stop foreign capital from eroding".

Venture capital funds are venture capital funds, with only one purpose, that is, making money. It is like falling in love without marriage, just like hooligans, and talking about the freshness of things like souls, soul mates, and free space, often in the end they can't go together.

Instead, pay attention to eating, drinking, defecation, and pragmatic couples such as food, rice, oil, salt, sauce and tea can gain eternal love.

Venture capital needs to make money, which is a big market law. If you don’t make money, no matter how loud the meaning of venture capital is, you will be able to do nothing. Only venture capital that respects the laws of the market economy can survive and realize those beautiful wishes. Respecting market rules is the biggest gain after Zhou Shuo jumped out from the perspective of researchers. The more noble you have, the lower your attitude will be.

Whenever you see someone, Qiu Jun can move him with emotion, but Lei Jun must understand him with reason.

In Chinese social traditions, people's age is always linked to status. For example, it is impossible to see 48-year-old national leaders in China, and most young people in their 20s are at the grassroots level.

Lei Jun is only 28 years old this year. He can almost be a section chief in the officialdom, and may be a director in a state-owned enterprise. Or he may be a master's degree for less than two years and he is lucky enough to stay in school as a lecturer.

But Fanhan Group is too young, and its helm is only 26 years old. There will be many similar examples in the future, such as Zuckerberg, Google's Larry Page, and even Yahoo's Jerry Yang. The Internet is originally a young industry, and its practitioners are also a group of young people. This is an industry full of vitality, and miracles and impulsiveness everywhere.

But even so, when Lei Jun read the complete plan, all he could stay in his heart was shocked.

The investment span is 16 years, and the total investment amount will reach tens of billions of dollars. I am afraid that other people will not even dare to think about such a plan except for the national leaders.

Haven’t you seen that the 909 project, as a national key project, only deducted one billion US dollars? This is not a one-time payment, but a installment payment according to the project progress within a two-year construction cycle.

Lei Jun couldn't even imagine that if he started a business, could he make so much money from scratch?

"Mr. Zhou..." He swallowed, his head a little confused, and forgot what he wanted to say.

Zhou Shuo smiled, saw his dilemma, waved his hand and said, "Manager Lei, don't worry, say something slowly. In fact, this plan is still very immature. I personally am not very proficient in investment. I hope you can give more suggestions."

Lei Jun calmed down and nodded heavily and said, "I am so arrogant when Mr. Zhou said this. Judging from the plan, will Fanhan Group have the strength to complete these investments in the future?"

"In the first five-year plan, China's Internet should still be in the promotion period, so the investment will not be too large." Zhou Shuo touched his chin and said: "The group can invest about 2 billion US dollars in capital one after another. After 2000, the Internet has entered a period of rapid development. Venture Capital Foundation uses a large amount of cash to embezzle funds. Next, it depends on the fund's own hematopoietic ability."

"Mr. Zhou thinks that China can complete the Internet promotion in five years?" Lei Jun asked in surprise.

This is not that he has insufficient vision and insufficient judgment. In fact, let alone Lei Jun, he may not know where China will go in the future at this time.

If Zhou Shuo told people that China would become the second largest economy in the world in twenty years - 99.9% of people would think he was crazy. Even China itself was worried when he joined WTO, and from top to bottom, he shouted that the wolf was coming! It was as if the national industry was about to be killed by foreigners in minutes. As a result, the big bad wolf was inexplicably killed by the scum.

China's Internet development is also closely related to China's economic growth. Without the rapid development of China's economy, how can the Internet be popularized? India's population is no smaller than China, software outsourcing is still a pillar industry, but how many netizens are there? What are the platforms of the Internet economy?

Alibaba can only make $200 billion worth of money by investing in the Chinese market. Which Internet company in India can make a move internationally?

If you cannot figure out China's economic pulse, of course you cannot figure out the pulse of China's Internet market.

"It is not that China completes Internet promotion in five years, but that we must complete the promotion within five years. My goal is to develop more than 100 million Internet users in China within five years." Zhou Shuo stretched out a finger and said confidently: "VAT funds are only part of this plan. If Manager Lei decides to join Fanhan Group, I can open the entire five-year plan to you."

"There is still a five-year plan?" Lei Jun looked at Zhou Shuo foolishly, his heart was overwhelmed. With his own strength, he would develop 100 million Internet users in five years. The person who proposed this idea was either a lunatic or a fool. The key was to be a lunatic or a fool?
