Chapter 188: Invite Buddha
"Former boss?"
Lin Feng was stunned, and the scenes in his mind flashed one after another, and finally it finally came to a middle-aged man and asked, "Su Yue, why are we going to see him?"
"Let's invest in him, otherwise what else can I do?" Su Yue replied.
He stuffed the car key into Lin Feng's hand, then opened the car door himself, and sat in the passenger seat: "Let's go, let's go Tantanfeng first, it's not necessary to invest."
"Besides this, there are other things, right?" Lin Feng began to start the car.
It was too time-consuming and laborious to visit Lide Pharmaceutical Group simply to visit the provincial capital, so Lin Feng guessed that Su Yue would definitely have other things to do when he went to the provincial capital.
Su Yue nodded and said, "The venture capital senior that Sister Yun Xi contacted is also in the provincial capital. Let's go and meet you, maybe you will get something."
"It's hard to invite a big Buddha in our small temple!"
Lin Feng drove the car out of the parking lot, turned to the city road, and then said: "The other party is in the provincial capital. If you want to drive someone to Changling, it may not be realistic."
"I know, so I can just find a general consultant in equity investment for the company. I didn't think about bringing someone to Changling." Su Yue said, "The most important thing in the venture capital industry is connections. We are familiar with Lao Yang and Sister Yun Xi. We are only familiar with the secondary market. We are all young people in the VC and PE investment in the primary market. We must find a leader, so... we still have to invite Buddha. If you don't invite me, that's the problem later."
Lin Feng responded and did not continue.
It took about 3 hours to drive from Changling to the provincial capital. After the two arrived, they had lunch, then found a hotel, rested for a while, and rushed to the appointment place until dinner time.
The agreed location is a high-end Western restaurant.
When Su Yue and Lin Feng arrived, the venture capital senior Gu Yunxi mentioned was already waiting alone in the seat in the private room.
"Hello, Senior Chen Changgeng." Su Yue stretched out his hand with a smile.
The tall middle-aged man in a leather jacket looked up at the smiling boy, with a little surprise in his eyes. He stood up, shook hands with Su Yue, and said, "I heard from Yun Xi that her partner is a young boy, but he didn't expect... to be so young."
He roughly estimated Su Yue's age, at most he was in his twenties.
I was really shocked.
The access conditions for private equity investment are not low. You can enter this threshold at such a young age, and it is not easy to do without the help of a huge family background.
"Although he is a partner, he is mainly the one who is behind the scenes. I am just a helper." Su Yue said modestly, then turned sideways to Chen Changgeng and introduced, "This Lin Feng is also a partner of our company, a... superb stock trader."
"Hello!" Lin Feng greeted him with a smile.
Chen Changgeng nodded and made a call to the two of them: "Please sit down, I have already ordered the dishes. Yun Xi has already communicated with me on the phone. If you have any words, just say it. I don't like to go around the corner."
Su Yue didn't expect him to be so direct.
After a moment of stunned silence, he coughed lightly and said, "Since Mr. Chen already knows what we are going to come, I won't be tired. We are here this time and originally wanted to invite you to join our company, but I know this is unrealistic. You have been working in Jinpeng Investment for eight years and are currently in the position of executive vice president of Nanhua Branch. It is definitely impossible to change jobs at will, so I came up with a compromise plan."
Chen Changgeng listened to Su Yue's words and showed admiration, signaling him to continue speaking.
"Jinpeng Investment's main business and investment direction is investment in the PE stage, that is, what you earn is profits and scale expansion money, mainly invested in the last level before the company goes public, its exit mechanism is mostly through the stock market cashing out after the company goes public."
"Our company's main focus in equity investment is investment in the VC stage."
"That is, investment projects that are still small in size and have not yet had a particularly bright future, earning money from corporate growth and valuation increase in the first stage."
"Our company's business focus is not the same as that of Jinpeng Investment where Mr. Chen is located."
"So... I want to ask Mr. Chen to work as part-time as an equity investment consultant for our company. Usually, there are potential projects that Jinpeng Investment cannot invest in due to its business scope. I hope Mr. Chen can provide us with it."
Su Yue believes that Chen Changgeng must have done a lot of things like matching and building bridges before. The focus of VC and PE businesses is different, and the stages of participation are also different.
Although there are occasional repetitions, the risk controls of the two businesses are completely different.
He believes that with Chen Changgeng's more than ten years of experience and connections in this industry, he will definitely encounter many small companies that cannot participate in Jinpeng Investment, but have many potential to need financing.
"Xiao Su is a happy person. Since that's the case, I'll give you an accurate statement."
Chen Changgeng was silent for a moment, and then continued: "I have a good relationship with Yun Xi's father. I had received favor from their family when I was in a downturn before, so Yun Xi asked you to come to me. As long as it was not an excessive request and I could do anything within my ability, I would definitely not be able to refuse."
"In my opinion, you are all my juniors."
"The domestic economy is developing rapidly, and its proportion and importance in the global economy will become increasingly heavier with the development of the times. There is great potential for investment in this industry."
"I admire you at this age that you have the courage to step into this industry. I should be able to give me some advice on my juniors. But I can do very little, so don't expect too much. The water in this industry, with your current age and experience, can't find out the depth."
"I can introduce you to the project and try to ensure that the investment amount is reduced to tens of millions."
“As for the risks…”
Su Yue was very happy when he heard the other party agreeing without hesitation. He took his words and said, "We naturally understand the investment risks. No one can guarantee success in the VC stage investment. Even if our investment fails, it has nothing to do with you. Please rest assured of this."
What he needs is connections and an entry point to enter this market.
As for the failure and success of the investment project, as long as Chen Changgeng can provide the investment target and has potential, he will make a judgment and make a choice by himself.
"Okay, since you said that, I have no worries."
Chen Changgeng admired Su Yue, the young man, and smiled. He was about to talk about various precautions and traps in this industry. At this time, his phone ringing suddenly rang.
Chen Changgeng glanced at the caller ID, frowned, and hung up the phone.
However, before he could finish his next words, half a minute later, the same phone rang again.
This time, he pressed the answer button and scolded in a deep voice: "Xiao Zhou, haven't I told you that I asked a friend to have dinner together in the evening. If anything happens, the company will talk about it tomorrow."
In the microphone, Su Yue didn't hear the other party's next answer clearly.
But it must be a very urgent matter.
