Chapter 293 Headhunting Company
In fact, there is no one who only spends his own money to start a company. Financing can be spent on venture capital money, but it is not necessary now, and it has not reached the point where financing is needed.

In fact, during this period of time, as Weiyang Technology began to emerge across the country, it did attract the attention of some venture capital institutions.

Many venture capitalists contacted the company. Lin Rui was curious and wanted to see what the valuation was, so he also communicated with them.

The result was very disappointing. The company with the highest valuation was only given [-] million yuan, and the unit was RMB.

The lowest one only paid 8000 million, and said that it was already very high.Lin Rui felt like scolding his mother when he heard it. He was fooling people into being fools and directly dragging them into the blacklist.

In fact, speaking seriously, this valuation is still reasonable. The venture capital that gave Weiyang Technology the highest valuation also explained the reasons for it. Only then did Lin Rui understand the reason for Weiyang Technology's low valuation.

Assuming that the registered users and various data of Weiyang Technology remain unchanged, they are exactly the same as the current ones.

But other Weibo platforms have changed, making Weiyang Weibo the number one Weibo platform in China.

Or simply, become the only Weibo platform in China.

Then his valuation can be increased by at least ten times, and the current valuation of 30 million will directly become the starting value of [-] billion.

But the reality is that Sina is the number one microblog platform in China, followed by Tencent, and Weiyang Weibo ranks fourth.

At present, among the five domestic microblog platforms, except for Weiyang Technology, the other four are backed by a very powerful parent company, and Weiyang Weibo has the shallowest background.

Under such circumstances, Weiyang Weibo’s prospects do not look so good, and it should not be favored by these venture capitalists by directly competing with these major Internet companies to seize the market.

Although venture capital is doing venture capital, they are actually unwilling to do risky things.

Same number of users, same data.It's just that their positions in the market are different. One company ranks first in the market, or even the only one in the market.

One ranked fourth.

But one can be valued at 30 billion, and the other can only be valued at [-] million.

The risks taken are different, and the valuations are of course very different.

At this time, it doesn't make much sense to just look at the company's data, and it also depends on your position in the market.

It doesn't matter if it's 8000 million, 30 million, or [-] billion.No matter what the outside world thinks of Weiyang Technology, it doesn't matter whether they are optimistic about the results of its competition with those big Internet companies.

In fact, Lin Rui didn't care about these things. He was full of confidence in Weiyang Technology's potential and future development prospects.

In any case, he is also a cheater, no matter how bad the situation is, how bad it can be.

As for financing, it is of course impossible now. Lin Rui's expectations and prospects for Weiyang Technology are very high. Let alone a valuation of 30 million, even if it is valued at [-] billion, he hesitated and finally refused.

As long as the system can provide enough funds for the company's development, or until the valuation of Weiyang Technology has not reached the standard he expected, he will not consider financing.

Is this not the case now?The company is completely its own word, without any constraints, it is what it says.

If you really want to raise funds, please come in with a bunch of shareholders, and you have to discuss everything with the board of directors and discuss with everyone. Can you still do whatever you want like now!

Since I don't plan to raise funds, and I don't want to spend only my own money, I can only spend the bank's.

In terms of loans, it has not yet reached that point, the company does not lack operating funds, and is not so eager for funds, so there is no need to borrow directly from the bank.

In this case, finding a bank for credit is a good choice.These credit lines are like the company's reserve funds, which can be used very conveniently and flexibly to withdraw cash, greatly increasing the company's liquidity and cash reserves.

Even if you don’t need to put it there, you will have more confidence, and you don’t need to pay any interest. This is also the most essential difference between bank credit and loans.

All loans, whether you use it or not, need to pay interest.As for the credit line, as long as it is not used, there is no need to pay any interest

Professionally speaking, credit refers to the act of banks providing financial support directly to customers, or providing credit guarantees to third parties in related economic activities.

Loans refer to banks lending funds to those in need at a certain interest rate in accordance with national policies.

Credit granting is more flexible and convenient than loans. As long as there is a quota, you can withdraw it whenever you want, which is not much different from the cash in your own company account.

Lin Rui was hesitant about applying for bank credit at first, but Weiyang Technology is now basically a pure investment and has no profit, so it can be regarded as a high-quality enterprise that meets the standards.

I asked Yu Hui, the deputy director of the finance department, to apply for a try, but I didn't expect it to be approved so easily.

In fact, this is quite normal. These large state-owned banks in China are first of all state-owned enterprises, and they must not only have economic literacy, but also political literacy.

Many places are influenced by local governments.

Weiyang Technology has become more and more famous in the province during this period, and it is almost becoming the benchmark of Internet companies in the province. If it can't even apply for some credit lines, it really can't be justified.

At night, Lin Rui was alone at home, playing with his mobile phone while watching TV.This is already the third session of the Broadcasting and Hosting Contest, and I finally saw Su Hongxiu.

In this competition, six episodes will be played in the selection competition alone, and the rest will be the semifinals and finals.

Not surprisingly, Su Hongxiu was promoted smoothly, without even asking the show organizer to take extra care.

This is actually normal, although Su Hongxiu's professional skills in broadcasting and hosting are not outstanding, but she looks good!

Now there is no saying in the world that beauty is justice.

Su Hongxiu's appearance, among so many students participating in the broadcasting and hosting competition, only one or two contestants can match, this is the biggest advantage.

On the other hand, Lin Rui also adjusted the algorithm authority of her Weibo, and Weiyang blog users who follow this competition can easily access her Weibo.

The selection mechanism of this competition uses a combination of judges and online voting. The higher the exposure rate, the more fans, the more advantageous it is.

Su Hongxiu not only has a huge bonus of good looks, but also has a high exposure rate, and the number of fans is the best among so many contestants, so she can easily advance to the next level without any extra care.

After watching the game, Lin Rui called Su Hongxiu for a while, chatted on the phone, and praised her well.

Turn off the TV, go to the study, and choose another book to read.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Rui had just finished a class and was about to go to the library when he was stopped by someone.

"Hi Mr. Lin, I'm Chen Yunfeng, the founder of Yunyou Technology, can I hold you for a few minutes?"

He was used to seeing the curious, envious, and nonchalant eyes from the students around him.

Especially as the recent investment in Changwan Technology was publicized by the newspapers, people frequently came to the school to seek investment from him in recent days.

Because of the system tasks, he took this matter a little more seriously. Unfortunately, with so many start-up companies, it really didn't catch his eyes and gave him an impulse to invest.

Looking in front of him, Chen Yunfeng was slightly nervous and hopeful.

Lin Rui didn't refuse, chatted with him for a few minutes, learned about the specific situation of Yunyou Company, and felt that it was a bit reliable.

Then he took his financing plan, flipped through it briefly, and asked him to go back and wait for the situation.

Lin Rui came to the library, flipped through the financing plan in his hand, and finally had a certain understanding of Yunyou Technology's situation.

This company was established in January this year, and it is also a game maker, mainly engaged in casual games. In recent months, it has also started to develop web games.

It has been established for such a long time and has released three or four casual games and one browser game. Although it has not hit the market, it has not made much profit. It is all supported by the founder's investment and college students' entrepreneurial loans.

The founder team this time is not from Luo University. Seven or eight founders seem to have graduated from the University of Technology, and they are also relatively well-known entrepreneurial teams from the University of Technology.

However, this company is obviously more stable than Changwan Technology. The entire company only has more than 40 people. If the development continues to be so stable, it should last for another year or so.

As for a year and a half later, either the team has been thoroughly honed and started to make a profit, or it will go straight to the street.

After reading their financing plan, this company is neither too good nor too bad.If I really want to look for a start-up company that looks awesome at first glance in Los Angeles, I really can't find it.

If it is true, Weiyang Technology may be half of it!

Lin Rui thought about it, this kind of start-up company is considered to be of a good level in Los Angeles, so let's put it on the key observation list!
When you have time, send someone to investigate, or go to the field to see for yourself.

After dealing with these things, open the book in your hand, start the time to focus, and immediately immerse yourself in it.

The next morning, Lin Rui came to the company and asked while handling the work at hand.

"How is the contact with the headhunter going?"

Sun Yutong said: "We have already contacted and are in further communication."

Lin Rui nodded and said: "Be sure to explain clearly to the headhunter. This time we are recruiting not only a financial director, but also the company's chief financial officer CFO. If there is no real material, don't recommend it here. .”

"In addition, our company will carry out a lot of investment activities in the future. The company's CFO not only needs super high financial management skills and rich financial experience, but also needs professional knowledge in finance, preferably with experience in investment and financing."

"This aspect is indispensable, and it must not be ignored."

Sun Yutong nodded seriously and said, "Understood, I will explain clearly to the headhunter."

Lin Rui said again: "Where is the Human Resources Department! Has the person in charge of the novel website not been recruited?"

Sun Yutong shook his head and said: "Director Shang said that there are relatively few talents in this field in China and it is difficult to recruit, but the editors of online articles have already recruited several."

Lin Rui knocked on the table and said, "Then make preparations with both hands. The human resources department will continue to recruit, and the headhunters will also be prepared."

"Tell the headhunting company that there is a lack of candidates. Although you don't expect him to recruit the heads of those large-scale web sites, at least they are senior people in this field, with rich work experience and strong ability."

Sun Yutong nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I must explain clearly to them."

After talking about looking for headhunters, and chatting a few more words, Sun Yutong was about to go back to his office to communicate with the headhunters.

Lin Rui suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you can add one more position and ask the headhunter to find a professional manager with experience in managing large supermarkets."

Sun Yutong asked suspiciously: "Look for a professional manager with experience in managing large supermarkets. Is our company going to start this business?"

Lin Rui smiled and explained: "This is my private recruitment, and it has nothing to do with Weiyang Technology. Let me make this clear to others."

"Another person! You need to be more stable and have rich experience in the management of large-scale commercial supermarkets. It is best to be sophisticated and sophisticated. You don't need a lot of fighting spirit. The most important thing is that you have no flaws in morality, so you can rest assured."

After explaining this matter, watching Sun Yutong walk out of the office with a folder to communicate with the headhunting company, he lowered his head and started to deal with the matter in hand.

Lin Rui finally asked the headhunting company to find a professional manager with experience in managing large supermarkets, not for himself.

His mother has always had an ideal to open a large supermarket. Now that Lin Rui has a certain amount of capital in his hands, he naturally began to find ways to satisfy her.

However, managing a large supermarket is very tiring. There are too many tedious things, and I am afraid that my mother will not be able to bear it.

Lin Rui considered again and again, or just find a more reliable professional manager.It doesn't matter how capable you are, but how well you can develop the supermarket.

It must be reliable and be able to do daily management work well. As for the mother, she can just give orders directly.

After finishing the work at hand, Lin Rui began to look through the pile of financing plans next to him.

During the recent period, Weiyang Technology and himself have received nearly [-] financing proposals for such start-up companies.

Among them, more than 20 copies came from Los Angeles, the rest came from Shangzhou, the provincial capital, and some came from other cities in the whole province.

Lin Rui is in the company these days, and after finishing the work at hand, he starts to study these, and today is of course no exception.

After ten o'clock in the morning, after reading through nearly sixty financing plans, Lin Rui hesitated again and again, and selected twelve of them as the focus of attention.

Game companies accounted for more than half of them, including Yunyou Technology.

As for the remaining more than 40 copies, they have basically been eliminated.

Next, the company will conduct an in-depth understanding and investigation of these twelve companies to determine their potential and whether they are suitable for investment.

Of course, this cycle is very long. It may take a month or two, or even two or three months, to investigate all these companies.

But Lin Rui is in no hurry, investing?It's better to be cautious.

There really was a start-up company that couldn't hold on for this little time, and went bankrupt, which can be regarded as demining the company in advance.

And these twelve companies are not all. Next, as Weiyang Technology makes successive moves, its influence will become greater and greater, and more and more start-up companies may come to seek financing.

Weiyang Technology also has more choices, and can calmly choose the company it wants to invest in.
