Chapter 421: A dead horse becomes a living horse doctor
"Let's put it here."
Pan Xiaowen didn't raise his head, and he lowered his head and wrote something. His face was filled with fatigue, his eyelids drooped, and his two thick dark circles wrapped around two blood-covered eyes. His condition was worse than Fan Chaofei who had been in a night.
He is less than forty years old, and now he looks like he is nearly forty or fifty years old.
Fan Chaofei sighed secretly, knowing that Pan Xiaowen must have stayed up late, and he had been able to stay up for a long time than him. He had at least slept for a while in the morning. Judging from Pan Xiaowen's condition, he was afraid that he had not even slept and had been working until now.
"Mr. Pan, is the investment matter... not yet settled?" Fan Chaofei asked carefully.
Pan Xiaowen paused for a moment, then returned to normal, and said while writing: "No, but I have already made an appointment with an investor to meet in the afternoon. If the negotiations are good, the investment will probably be settled.
You don’t have to worry about these things, go back and do yours.”
"If you have anything you need to do, I'll be on call."
"Okay, I'll call you if you have something to do."
Fan Chaofei pursed his lips and said nothing more. He turned around and walked towards the door. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Pan Xiaowen's cell phone ring suddenly, and then his phone call sound came.
"Hey, Mr. Huang, I've made all arrangements, just wait for the afternoon..."
"Ah? You can't come if you have something to do? Then what about seeing you tomorrow? It's okay the day after tomorrow, and I'll take you time."
"That's it...that investment matter..."
"Mr. Huang, please consider it again, our company... Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang?"
Pan Xiaowen's hurried cry came from behind, and Fan Chaofei's heart thumped. He could roughly guess that 80% of the investment this time was ruined again.
He turned around and took a sneak peek and saw Pan Xiaowen slumping on the chair, his face as if the phone call had directly wiped out the last little hope he had left. A sense of despair appeared in his empty eyes.
Fan Chaofei suddenly felt sad. As a veteran who joined the company in the early days of his establishment, he naturally knew how much effort Pan Xiaowen had put into it until now, depending on the current situation...
The company's funds have bottomed out, and investments have been broken all the time. If you don't get the investment quickly, the only outcome waiting for the company is bankruptcy.
After years of hard work, Fan Chaofei was a little reluctant to leave. He has been in the company for more than four years and has feelings for the company.
After struggling for a moment, Fan Chaofei gritted his teeth and turned around suddenly: "Mr. Pan, has the investment been ruined again?"
Pan Xiaowen was silent for two seconds before sighing and closed his eyes in pain: "Maybe this is fate, Lao Fan, thank you for your hard work during this period, and you also know the situation of the company. Maybe... I can't stand this level.
I have worked together for so long, besides my colleagues, I have always regarded you as a friend. I won’t say that there are so many, so you should make plans early.”
Fan Chaofei advised: "Mr. Pan, it won't be enough. If we persist for a while, maybe there will be a turning point."
Pan Xiaowen laughed at himself and said, "What else can there be a turning point? Sina, Sohu, and NetEase have begun to make efforts one after another, and Yahoo is eyeing each other. With these mountains, the domestic portal market will be divided up sooner or later, leaving us with little space for survival.
You can see this, I can see it, and investors can see it even more. Who will invest in a company that has obvious prospects?"
"Not necessarily, I know someone, maybe... we can go and try it out with him." Fan Chaofei said carefully.
Pan Xiaowen suddenly opened his eyes, looked at him with a burning gaze, and asked in confusion: "Do you know someone? Who is he?"
"The founder of Tiansheng - Wang Liu!" Fan Chaofei said in a deep voice.
If he could, he didn't want to go to Wang Liu. As soon as the two of them met several times during class, had dinners several times, and drank several times. The relationship was not very good. Just knowing each other might be considered friends, but they certainly didn't make it as a place where Wang Liu would invest in his face.
Secondly, he is really not optimistic about finding Wang Liu to invest.
Sina, NetEase, and Sohu have successively recovered from the Internet bubble and began to expand again. Next to it, the international giant Yahoo may make efforts at any time, and four mountains will fight each other. Small companies like them will sooner or later be crushed and closed down.
He could see this, Pan Xiaowen could see it, and Wang Liu, who could do it with one hand, could definitely see it, as well as a giant like Tiansheng.
In this case, can Wang Liu invest in a company that has obvious prospects?
He can guess it without thinking about it, it’s impossible!
But now it is now. Even if he knows that his hope is slim, he has to give it a try and just treat it as a dead horse as a living horse.
Even if Wang Liu refused, at least he would do his best.
Pan Xiaowen was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes flashed, and finally turned into a bitter smile: "Tiansheng has the strength. If you can make the company so big, will Wang Liu not see the current situation clearly? It's now, how can you throw money into the water?"
"No matter whether it is possible or not, it is absolutely right to try it. Even if there is little hope, there is at least a glimmer of possibility after trying it. If you don't try it, there will be no hope at all.
I know Mr. Wang, so I will contact him and let me explore his words first."
Fan Chaofei said as he took out his cell phone and called Wang Liu.
...
On the other side.
Wang Liu, Song Chengzhi and others just got into the car after dinner, and they received a call from Fan Chaofei. They couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. They just said that they had something to be busy and didn't even bother to say anything, but now they suddenly called him. Is it because they want to ask him for help if they have something to do?
A guess flashed in Wang Liu's heart and answered the phone: "Old Fan, are you asking me for something?"
"Uh... it's something. I told Mr. Wang just now that there was something wrong with our company. The funds were a bit tight recently and I need to find someone to invest to deal with the emergency.
I called you just to ask, Mr. Wang, if you are interested, how about investment?"
Fan Chaofei smiled dryly, without saying anything, and just gritted his teeth and explained his purpose.
It was indeed asking me for help!
Wang Liu said calmly: "Are you interested? I have to listen to the situation of your company first to know. What business does your company do?"
"Information service is to collect and organize various news and then present it to users through the Internet, which is considered a portal website."
Portal?
Wang Liu's eyelids twitched in an instant. He knew that Fan Chaofei worked in an online company, but he really didn't expect that his company was actually a portal website.
This is a coincidence. He was about to acquire a portal website, but Fan Chaofei took the initiative to come to his door.
Wang Liu suddenly felt spirited and asked: "How large is your company, how much market share is there, and how is the current performance?"
"Uh... our company is not very large, but it's OK. Currently there are more than 70 employees, all experienced professionals, with market share currently accounting for about 1.7%, and performance... has declined slightly recently, but we have made adjustments and have improved slightly now."
Fan Chaofei hurriedly fulfilled his sentence and said, "I can't explain it clearly on the phone. Do you think if you have time, how about we meet and talk?"
