Chapter 614 Let the Investment Banking Circle Boil!

The constant exposure in the media gave Li Mu a chance to re-examine himself. He used to rush too hard? 12?? He only looked far away, and rarely cared about his feet and surroundings. Now he finally calmed down and thought about it and found someone else. After talking about it, I realized that there are still many aspects that I lack.

The more things he does and the more he achieves, the more Li Mu feels that he has a lot of innate shortcomings. The most important part of this is the financial operation that has been neglected by him. In fact, many great Internet people in later generations , Entrepreneurial bosses themselves are not really very proficient in financial operations, but they all have a strong and professional team behind them to solve this problem. The strength and scale of the technical development team is far greater than that of any domestic Internet company, but they do not have a team dedicated to capital and financial operations. This is indeed a huge mistake.

Take another look at his current team leadership. Liu Yingdong, who has the most potential, has just stepped into the Internet. At this stage, he can figure out the Internet issues. Tan; The same is true for technical talents like Kong Lingyu and Fang Xudong. They have sufficient technical ability, but the overall pattern is difficult to break through their own shackles; Lin Qingya's execution ability is 100%, but her experience is not sophisticated enough; as for Wang Nan, Chen Hui, and Lu Xinyi are all specialized in standard surgery, and they are very good in their respective fields, but the control at a large level is still blank.

It is a top priority to come up with an offshore company system as soon as possible, and finding someone who is truly proficient in capital operation and can spend money has become the top priority for Li Mu.

Xu Jiaming also saw Li Mu's biggest problem at the moment, and said to Li Mu: "It is important to build a watertight offshore company system, but you must also use more refreshments for relevant talents. Now you not only have people who can make money, but also There are people who can play with money, and there will be people who can spend money in the future. In my personal opinion, after a company reaches a certain scale, it must invest frequently, not only in companies that can make money in the future, but also in companies that can make money in the future. Companies that play various roles by themselves, such as upstream and downstream vertical industry chains and horizontal industry chains with similar positioning, you can’t do everything yourself, right? Sometimes you have to buy ready-made ones.”

Li Mu nodded and agreed: "With several companies together, it is estimated that there is no one who really understands capital operations. It seems that the most important thing is to build a team dedicated to financial operations as soon as possible."

Xu Jiaming said with a smile: "Actually, the focus is different. You have always focused on the Internet and technology products, and your company has rarely raised external financing, and has never established cooperation with any real big venture capital, so Your attention to the financial circle is slightly insufficient. The big investment banks are full of financial talents. When I have the opportunity, I will take you in touch with this circle and introduce some of the more powerful people in the investment bank to you. Try it and see if you can get to know it. Dig a few to Muye Technology."

Li Mu suddenly had an idea and said to Xu Jiaming, "I think you might as well help me spread a message in the investment banking circle."

Xu Jiaming asked curiously, "What news?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "Muye Technology is looking for suitable capital to finance the C round. The C round plans to take out 15-20% of the shares. After the C round is completed, it plans to go public in the United States."

Xu Jiaming asked subconsciously, "Didn't it mean that Muye Technology will not raise funds before listing?"

"Yes." Li Mu said, "I really don't plan to do any more financing before going public, but that doesn't prevent me from using this gimmick to attract the attention of some investment banks. Imagine, if Muye Technology wants to raise the C round, those VCs will The company is estimated to be boiling immediately, and the people who will be sent to me to talk about the C round should be the top talents in the major VCs, right? Let’s meet and talk first, and if you feel reliable, just dig it with a high salary.

"

"Fuck..." Xu Jiaming stared at Li Mu in astonishment, before saying after a while, "Do you know what your greatest strength is?"

"what?"

"thief!"

...

Li Mu entrusted the offshore company to Xu Jiaming for help, and he began to find suitable security personnel and build a security team for himself.

In his last life, Li Mu didn't even have a nanny, and he didn't know much about the security industry, but in his opinion, security is nothing more than requiring personal experience and ability in actual combat, as well as a high degree of vigilance. Where are the most talented people? Of course it's the army.

In Li Mu's mind, veterans, especially retired special forces soldiers, are the most suitable for his needs, but Li Mu doesn't know anyone in the army, and the veterans seem to know Xu Jianjun, so he asks Xu Jianjun to come out to meet, hoping he can help .

The two made an appointment to meet in a teahouse. After meeting, Li Mu didn't play with Xu Jianjun, and said directly to Xu Jianjun: "Old Xu, why don't you bring your team to be a security guard for me, how much does it cost you a year? price."

Li Mu really wanted to recruit Xu Jianjun and cooperated with Xu Jianjun several times. He admired Xu Jianjun's ideas and execution ability very much. Most of his team were from the army, and they should have the strength. If he can agree, he not only has With a security team and a reconnaissance team, it will be much easier to do things in the future, even if the cost is higher.

Seeing that Li Mu came up, Xu Jianjun sent an invitation to himself and his team, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, to be honest, I was born in a scout, and I have good vigilance, but my fighting strength is average, and most of the people in my team are also Born as a scout, not suitable to be a bodyguard..."

Li Mu looked at Xu Jianjun and saw the look of embarrassment in his eyes, and he probably understood in his heart that Xu Jianjun should have despised the development direction of being a bodyguard, so he said to him: "Old Xu, if you disdain to be a bodyguard, then you Just introduce me to a few reliable veterans."

Xu Jianjun frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Li Mu, "Well, Mr. Li, I'll reveal a shortcut to you in private, but after you've heard this, don't tell anyone that I said it."

Li Mu nodded: "Don't worry, I'm never a big mouth."

Xu Jianjun said, "Actually, you can ask Du Wei, who you have been supporting, to help you with this matter."

"Du Wei?" Li Mu frowned: "What kind of shortcut is this? I want to find some veterans as bodyguards. What do you want me to do with Du Wei?"

Xu Jianjun smiled slightly and said, "Du Wei's grandfather and his family are in the army. Her uncle is an officer in the garrison area of ​​the Yanjing Military Region, with the rank of Colonel. He is in charge of the Divine Sword Brigade of the Yanjing Military Region. A soldier who has retired from the Excalibur brigade, your safety will be greatly guaranteed."

Li Mu was very surprised. He didn't know much about the family backgrounds of Du Wei and Du Fei. After hearing what Xu Jianjun said, it seems that Du Wei's family is quite powerful in the army.

So Li Mu asked Xu Jianjun carefully: "Old Xu, what is the Excalibur Brigade doing?"

Xu Jianjun explained: "Each military region and each armed police corps in China has its own special forces, and the Excalibur Brigade is the name of the special forces of the Yanjing Military Region, and its comprehensive strength ranks first in the country, and the special forces are different from other forces and have actual combat capabilities. Experience, our scouts have not had a single combat experience in ten years after enlisting in the army."

Li Mu nodded. Since Du Wei's family has such a relationship, it is indeed too useful for him. However, it is not easy for him to ask Du Wei to help communicate this kind of thing, so it is more appropriate to ask Du Fei.

The bodyguard thing has some clues, but Li Mu is still reluctant to let Xu Jianjun go easily. Although he doesn't have much contact with him, this person is really useful to Li Mu. There will definitely be many things that need his help in the future. It was to make him tie him tighter, so Li Mu said to Xu Jianjun, "Old Xu, why don't you do this, you can send me two smart people from your team, and these two people will follow me full-time and obey me. My order, if I need your help with anything, their cooperation with you can also ensure a high efficiency."

Xu Jianjun hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Li, I'm also a little tight on manpower now..."

Li Mu said, "Two people, I pay one million consulting fees a year. If I need your help with anything, let's just count the money. They are all friends, so you can help me."

One million a year for two people, this price is already very high, Xu Jianjun can make a lot of money from it after meeting the salary of his subordinates, so he agreed after thinking for a while, saying: "Well, I will choose two people. , let them report to you tomorrow."

Li Mu was overjoyed and said, "I'll transfer the money to your account later today."

Xu Jianjun nodded: "Okay, Mr. Li is so refreshing, I can't be too mean, two people can't use that much money, so let's take a 20% discount."

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Lao Xu, don't make any discounts. In the future, you can have more snacks for my affairs."

Xu Jianjun was no longer polite, smiled slightly, and said, "No problem!"

Just when Li Mu met Xu Jianjun, Xu Jiaming had already helped Li Mu drop a blockbuster bomb into the investment banking circle: Muye Technology is about to complete the C round! And this time, it is going to be a big round, with 15-20% of the direct financing. You must know that the conservative valuation of Muye Technology is now several billion, 20%, which is a large project of one billion or even two billion.

This news suddenly made the investment banking circle boil. The whole circle is very clear that if Muye Technology’s C round of financing is successful, it will definitely be the largest financing for a domestic Internet company so far. Moreover, such a large-scale financing is very difficult. When a company invests alone, usually one venture capital leads the investment, and several venture capitals follow the investment.

This also means that everyone has the opportunity to eat a bite of the cake, so all of a sudden, dozens of large and small VCs are excited to contact Muye Technology, and the interface people who are responsible for contacting Muye Technology are almost all from various companies. The most capable high-end talents...
