The next morning, Hilton's large conference room was crowded with people.
In addition to a large number of entrepreneurs, there are also a large number of observers sent by venture capitalists, as well as countless journalists.
As a hotel, I like to make friends with guests like Xiaoshan. I always meet his requirements as much as possible. Not only the conference room is directly provided free of charge, but also drinks are provided to these people free of charge.
This seems like a losing decision, but it's not losing at all. Xiaoshan's influence is too great. Every move involves the nerves of countless media. There are dozens of journalists who follow Xiaoshan to stay in the hotel.
How much revenue does this bring to the hotel? How good is the publicity effect?
Hilton can't wait to get Xiaoshan a director's position and live here for free in the future.
At nine o'clock sharp, Xiaoshan and Enron walked into the conference room side by side, followed by two bodyguards.
Countless shots were aimed at Xiaoshan and Enron, and the eyes of venture capitalists were full of respect. This is the top investor whose every move has been studied and imitated by the industry, whether venture capital or venture capital.
Those entrepreneurs applauded warmly, and their eyes were full of expectation, as if they saw a landlord distributing big cakes.
Xiaoshan and Enron calmly walked to the podium and sat down. It was arranged completely according to Xiaoshan's requirements, just two chairs and a table.
"You entrepreneurial friends." Xiao Shan glanced over and saw his goal, but moved away quietly:
"I will choose the best person from among you to invest, so my standard will be relatively strict. What is not within the scope of my choice does not prove that you are not good enough. I hope you don't lose heart and continue to work hard. Well, now come one by one, everyone has a chance. Let's start."
These people are really not crazy. After all, so many media have come up with high-quality elite images there.
Xiaoshan took the first one and only glanced at it. In less than two seconds, he returned it to the Zongfa young man: "the direction is wrong."
The man's face darkened, but he was very grateful to Xiao Shan for pointing out his mistake. He said thank you and hurried out of the way.
The people behind him immediately liked Xiaoshan. Although he only looked at it, it was not perfunctory. This can only prove that people's judgment ability is too strong.
Xiaoshan looked at one by one. It was unimaginable fast, and everyone gave the most concise comments, such as wrong direction, little potential, too much risk, no demand, impossible realization, etc.
These rejected people are full of gratitude. You should know the previous VCs, but they directly refused without saying a word, and there is no explanation.
But Xiao Shan's eyesight, how brilliant it is, is willing to point them out.
Although these people did not get the investment, they have full respect for Xiaoshan in their life, which has made Xiaoshan gain countless beliefs in Silicon Valley.
Until he refused two-thirds, a young man of Robert handed over the plan, and Xiaoshan finally stopped. This is a plan for a video website. The plan is good for nothing except the right direction.
Xiaoshan gave the plan to Enron and said to the young man, "stay first and talk last."
Robert was overjoyed and hurriedly stood behind Xiao Shan, as if he had been a winner.
The rest of the people suddenly became nervous. Xiaoshan inadvertently swept the Taidao man and found that he had no intention to come forward. It was like watching outside at the airport yesterday.
But Xiao Shan is not in a hurry. It is estimated that he has no plans yet, but it doesn't matter. Xiao Shan decides to leave him even if he doesn't have any plans.
The plan is not important, the important thing is people, and the most valuable thing is people.
The most important selection factor of venture capital is people, not creativity.
It is better to give first-class ideas to first-class executors than to third-class people, who are more likely to make money.
Xiaoshan knows exactly who can succeed.
Even if this Taidao man is already heavily in debt, no one believes him, but Xiaoshan knows he will succeed.
Finally, the rest of the people were rejected, leaving only the Taidao youth with hair like a hedgehog, glasses and messy beard.
These rejected people did not leave. They all looked at the young man named Robert, and their hearts were full of envy.
With Xiaoshan's great skill, even a pig can fly to heaven.
What's more, there is Xiaoshan's guidance.
Everyone was waiting for Xiaoshan to announce the final result, but Xiaoshan looked at the Taidao youth and asked with a smile:
"You are the last and the most calm one. I'm very optimistic about you. Where's your plan?"
Ah?
Everyone was stunned. Xiaoshan's selection standard was calm?
Nima knew who would grab it. Calm down. Who won't? Is it difficult?
Robert's mouth turned into a circle. He wanted to say very much that this man was not calm. He was heavily in debt.
Xiao Shan's judgment can be questioned. The consequences are unbearable. He didn't speak rationally.
Hedgehog head finally came up and bowed politely: "Hello, Mr. Xiao, my name is Chen Shijun, Taidao man. I really want to start a business. If you are willing to help me, I will try my best not to disappoint you, but I don't have a plan."
Everyone sighed secretly. Who can't say beautiful words? There's no plan. Why don't you dry chicken feathers? Let Xiaoshan give you an idea?
This is not calm, this is a guilty heart. Xiao Shan hit himself in the face now. What will he say?
Everyone looked at Xiaoshan strangely.
Enron is nervous. You want to help him, but this man is not good. He doesn't even have a plan. How can he help?
Those reporters felt they were going to catch the big news. The cameras were all aimed at Xiao Shan's eyes, waiting for him to show his frustration at his failure.
make love.
Xiaoshan's applause rang out in the silent conference room.
Everyone was stunned. Xiao Shan smiled and looked very appreciative. What do you mean?
"Chen Shijun." Xiao Shan's smile couldn't hide, "you are a very serious person. Indeed, it's easy to write a plan, but there are too few plans to convince me. So you'd rather come empty handed to fight for this opportunity than fool. This proves that you are not only serious, but also persistent."
Everyone is confused, especially the investment bank. Big brother, you have disrupted the rules of the investment bank. You don't bring plans in the future. Run to my dress and be calm, serious and persistent. What should we do?
Enron has some hot cheeks. Do you treat these people as fools? Can it all round?
Chen Shijun never thought that his efforts would be fruitful. He was dizzy. It was like falling three tons of pie out of thin air and smashing it on his head. His brain was full of chaos. The strongest logical chain suddenly broke, and only one thought flashed. It was unscientific, and then he died instantly.
Enron saw that he was stupid and wanted to kick him. You should cooperate.
Xiao Shan had to cooperate by himself. He continued:
"I always only invest in people, not projects. The plan just lets me understand this person's way of thinking, but not only the plan. Chen Shijun, you are qualified to be my partner, and I invest you $100 million."
Wow?
The whole audience exclaimed!
The reporter almost threw the camera away.
Wocao, Xiaoshan, who is a hundred million?
Those entrepreneurs immediately beat their feet and chest. Xiaoshan, it's unfair. How many entrepreneurial projects can we support with $100 million? Your risk is too concentrated.
After those investment banks were shocked, they only lamented that they could only look up to Xiaoshan's great work and could not imitate it.
They don't have the excellent vision of Xiaoshan. Blind imitation is easy to die without a whole body.
And Xiaoshan's risk is not concentrated. He doesn't vote for one person. There are Harvard boys.
As for all big investments, it can only prove that what Xiaoshan wants to do is a large website with high goals.
Venture capital is like this. Even if you invest in 100 projects, as long as one is successful and becomes a Google like existence, you will earn it all back.
At this time, Chen Shijun finally found a scientific basis. He thought that Xiaoshan wanted to support Taidao people, win the support of Taidao people and lay a foundation for that.
He immediately recovered his logical system and bowed with energy:
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao. I will never live up to your expectations."
He said something secretly, thinking Xiao Shan would understand.
But Xiaoshan knows a fart? He invested in Chen Shijun just because he would build a video website in 2005, and then sell it 20 months later, making $1.65 billion.
Xiaoshan was very satisfied with Chen Shijun's statement and got up happily: "very good. Let's go."
Robert finally couldn't help it and hurriedly asked, "President Xiao, what about me?"
"You can't do anything except the right direction. If you like, follow Chen Shijun. If you don't want to," Xiao Shan said indifferently.
Robert grabbed a straw and said, "I will!"
"Then let's go." Xiao Shan simply took the party away.
Those reporters are not reconciled. They want to know Xiaoshan's plan too much, but they can't follow it anymore. People have to talk in secret. They can't steal trade secrets.
In the presidential suite.
Xiao Shan looked at Chen Shijun and Robert and said bluntly, "Shijun, what do you think of the video website?"
Robert was secretly depressed. He was in the right direction, but he had no say. This person without direction has become Xiaoshan's partner.
"There are several video websites in America, but I think their model is wrong. You can't make money by TV programs," Chen Shijun said without thinking.
Robert said in his heart that you offended Xiaoshan. He once mentioned this model in Xiangjiang. Those websites were built according to Xiaoshan's model.
Xiaoshan said with appreciation: "yes, they don't understand video websites. They make TV programs the main body. TV programs have become the only source. What else is it called a video website? Isn't it an Internet TV station?"
Chen Shijun suddenly woke up. After thinking about the precipitation for countless times, he finally gushed out. He blurted out:
"People must be involved! Everyone can upload videos!"
"Yes!" Xiao Shan was overjoyed. "I really didn't read you wrong."
