I don't know when, mu Chenhao also fell asleep. Most of the people on the plane fell asleep one after another. Because they crossed several time zones, the light shield of the plane was closed, so that passengers could easily adjust the time difference by sleeping.
This is also the way most airlines take in long-distance flights.
This time, it is precisely because the company invested by Mu group in North America is facing the crisis of capital shortage. Mu Chenhao's first task is to obtain financing in the United States.
If we say that in China, the reputation of the Mu group wants to get financing, it is absolutely easy, but it is different in the United States. This company is only a subsidiary of the Mu group at present.
However, it occupies a very large position in the strategic sense of Mu group's internationalization, so mu Chenhao decided to fly to deal with it in person.
This subsidiary is called "Genesis network". In the early days of its establishment, the think tank has invested one million US dollars on behalf of Mu Chenhao. However, one million US dollars seems more, but it burns faster than paper in the Internet industry.
This amount of money only lasted for less than a month, and it has bottomed out.
Up to now, the advertising investment of various channels has accumulated 500000 US dollars. The wage expenses of workers, plus the management costs of server operation, have already spent 500000 US dollars in a month. The one million US dollars invested by mu Chenhao have been used up, so we have to find a new round of financing.
For a new round of financing, mu Chenhao has his own ideas, because in the two days before his arrival, he has contacted many famous angel investors and venture capital institutions, hoping that they can participate in the financing of Chuangshi network.
This includes Sequoia Capital, which enjoys high reputation all over the world!
Sequoia Capital, as the most legendary venture capital company in Silicon Valley, was founded in the 1970s. Its founder don Valentine's life experience before founding Sequoia Capital is rarely known. However, since its founding in 1972, Sequoia Capital has continuously created miracles in the history of investment.
Cisco, apple, Oracle, Atari, Yahoo and other well-known names are the venture capital of Sequoia Capital.
Before he came to the United States this time, mu Chenhao knew that Edward, partner of Sequoia Capital, had personally thrown an olive branch to the team of Genesis network, hoping to meet the founding team of Genesis network as soon as possible.
However, the founding team of Chuangshi network does not have mu Chenhao. Mu Chenhao is only the largest shareholder and investor, and has an actual controlling interest. The initial team of Genesis network was a three person team led by Eric.
But Eric was a little upset that almost all the investors thought mu Chenhao was the founder, and they also asked to meet mu Chenhao directly in the email and telephone, but they turned a deaf ear to their three real creators of Genesis network. However, this is also normal. After all, it was ordered by mu Chenhao and executed by his think tank that Chuangshi network was developed to this day. In terms of law and principle, mu Chenhao is the largest shareholder of Chuangshi network and enjoys the same share rights as the founding team. It is not bad to say that he is also one of the founders of Chuangshi network.
At that time, Eric didn't know about Edward, but he had heard about Sequoia Capital for a long time.
The partners of Sequoia Capital want to meet their own team and prove that the potential of Chuangshi network is recognized by mainstream venture capital companies in Silicon Valley, which also makes Eric and others very excited.
So Eric immediately agreed to meet Edward's request. Another member of the core team, Gaudi Parker, saw that Eric was a little carried away by the victory and couldn't help reminding him, "brother, should we talk to our major shareholders before making a decision?"
Eric is the leader of this small group of three. He makes the final decisions on major issues. But now he is slightly dissatisfied with mu Chenhao's "stealing" the founder identity of Genesis network, so he immediately said, "no, we are the owners of Genesis network, we have all the rights. Mu Chenhao is just our first round of angel investors. I don't think we need to report our contact with Sequoia Capital to him. "
Gaudi Parker patiently said, "Eric, we're not reporting to him, we're just informing him. After all, he has 40% of the shares. And our cooperation has been quite pleasant. I think we should tell him about it. "
Eric said with indifference, "don't make such a fuss. Mu Chenhao should also want to have capital intervention as soon as possible. Only when we introduce Sequoia Capital, a capital giant, can we develop faster. I believe he won't have any opinions!" Gaudi Parker sighed. Since the initial success of Genesis network, Eric has become headstrong and even arrogant. Recently, this phenomenon has become more and more serious. He has heard a lot of complaints from his subordinates, and 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 meet on genesis at any time.
Edward soon received Eric's reply, and he quickly arranged his schedule. A well-known investor like him holds at least three investment meetings every day, examines and approves dozens of investment plans, and arranges his work from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.This kind of work intensity is not the average person can stand, but Edward has maintained this kind of work condition for five years.
Even with superhuman energy, Edward would find it hard. But whether the elite of wall street or the investment giants of Silicon Valley want to get a foothold in the field of naked implementation of the jungle law, everyone has to fight like this.
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 kinds of capsules and tablets. Edward took out some medicines, drank and swallowed them.
For them, only a variety of nutrients and stimulants can make them maintain sufficient energy. Even if there will be slow damage to the body, there is no other way.
Edward will meet with the team of Chuangshi network tomorrow morning. Chuangshi network is one of the most promising new venture projects he is currently investigating. Therefore, he is also interested in meeting the founding team of the company.
In particular, the largest shareholder of this enterprise is actually a Chinese, and Edward has an inexplicable favor for him. This is not only due to the inherent curiosity of Chinese people, but also because mu Chenhao and he have the same investment vision. He is also looking forward to meeting mu Chenhao this time!
