My Age of Investment

By the Yuyuantan Lake, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped slowly.

Zhang Chenguang walked out of the driver's seat, trotted to open the rear door, covered the roof, and Xia Jingxing, in a suit and leather shoes, came out of the car.

As the secretary, Liu Xiaoduo sat in the co-pilot. At this moment, she opened the car door and walked out, standing behind the boss.

Xia Jingxing looked up and saw that the 136-meter-high color TV center was also one of the top ten buildings in Beijing in the 1980s, but now it seems to be a bit stale, and the office on the 24th floor cannot accommodate the increasing work of CCTV. personnel.

The big pants have just started two years ago, and they will have to wait for several years to complete.

Therefore, the CCTV headquarters is still in the old building in Haidian.

Xia Jingxing came here, of course, not to see the female anchor.

The national audition for "Win in China" has ended. 3,000 entrepreneurs were selected from 20 city competition areas, and then through layers of selection, the top 108 were finally selected.

The top 108, after another battle, selected the top 36.

Next, the top 36 will advance to the top 12. The game will also be placed in CCTV Studio No. 1, and will be broadcast live by CCTV Channel 2 to the national audience.

Before that, Andrew had been the judge of the competition in place of Vision Capital.

Now that the competition is at a climax, Xia Jingxing also needs to show his face in front of the national audience in accordance with the agreement with the event organizer to add luster to the competition.

Accompanied by Zhang Chenguang and Liu Xiaoduo, Xia Jingxing walked towards the building.

After a simple registration and inspection, the CCTV staff enthusiastically took Xia Jingxing and his party to the elevator to the floor where the studio was located.

Before the show started, the staff took Xia Jingxing and his party to the lounge.

As soon as he entered the room, Xia Jingxing saw three old acquaintances.

"Mr. Xia!"

"Daren!"

The bearded Wu Ying and Ma Yun greeted Xia Jingxing warmly.

Only Xiong Xiaoge was a little embarrassed,

Very reluctantly, he nodded towards Xia Jing Xing, which was considered an effort to maintain his face.

Xia Jingxing smiled and walked over to sit next to the three of them, while Liu Xiaoduo and Zhang Chenguang behind him walked to the other side, where the secretary and driver of Xiong, Ma, and Wu sat there.

Li Tianjin saw Zhang Chenguang and excitedly waved to the latter.

Some time ago, it was proposed by Ma Yun that the two competed in martial arts, and they both won and lost, and they were considered friends.

Of course, if it weren't for restricting the rules of the game and not allowing attacks on vital parts, Li Tianjin would definitely not be able to defeat Zhang Chenguang, a master in the military.

Xia Jingxing chatted casually with Ma Yun and Wu Ying, while Xiong Xiaoge didn't talk much. When asked about him, he only replied that.

Ma Yun and Wu Ying both knew the grievances between Xiong Xiaoge and Xia Jingxing, but today they can only pretend they don't know anything, chat with Xia Jingxing for a while, and chat with Xiong Xiaoge for a while. emotional intelligence and communication skills.

Fortunately, the game started soon, and the four of them finally stopped talking awkwardly and walked through a gate into the studio.

The stepped seats in the studio were full of people, and everyone was dressed in suits and leather shoes, dressed as a contemporary elite.

Xia Jingxing, Ma Yun and others sat down at the jury's seat, and the host Wang Lifen began to read out the rules and procedures of the competition.

36 players are divided into 9 groups to participate in the knockout rounds. There are 4 players in each knockout round. Among them, 1 player will be directly promoted, 1 player will participate in the resurrection round, and the other 2 players will be eliminated directly.

Accompanied by Tu Daojia's BGM, the four contestants began to take the stage one after another, facing the judges' seat. In front of each of them, there was a small podium with a microphone on it.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Zhixiang, the No. 1 player. The competition is cruel, and starting a business is even more difficult. However, what I want to say is, enjoy the competition and start a business, thank you!"

The first person to take the stage was a 30-year-old young man with a round face and a bald head wearing glasses. As soon as he came on stage, he greeted the audience and the judges with a smile.

Xia Jingxing noticed that there was a VCR on the LED electronic screen next to him introducing the entrepreneur, who was the CEO of an 80-person Internet company.

The second person on stage was a 29-year-old deputy general manager of a real estate company named Zhou Yunnan.

The third person on stage is Xu Hongfeng, 34 years old, master of medicine, sales representative of a pharmaceutical company.

The fourth contestant is Pu Bin, 28 years old, a master's degree from the University of New South Wales, and started a business in the university, and currently runs a website.

All four contestants took the stage and introduced themselves. After the announcement of the competition, they began to introduce their own business plans in two minutes according to the competition rules.

"My project is "Tongcheng Travel Network", my goal is to make the company the largest travel supermarket in China and even in the world, so that all tourists and travel suppliers can communicate and trade directly on this platform...

Our platform has settled 40,000 tourism companies, of which 4,000 are our paid corporate members. In 2004, our revenue was 300,000, in 2005 it was 3 million, and this year's revenue target is 10 million, which has been completed. Half, if there is venture capital involved, our revenue target in 2008 is to achieve 100 million..."

The No. 1 player Wu Zhixiang's data is listed very detailed, his speech is slow and slow, and the organization is very clear.

Xia Jingxing nodded secretly, not expecting that the first contestant in the first match would be a big fish.

Ma Yun stretched his head to Xia Jingxing's ear and whispered, "How is it? This is a talent that our Ali has cultivated. If there is a chance, we should support it, my own!"

Xia Jingxing smiled and glanced at Ma Yun, then blinked.

"Are you making a profit? Or continue to burn money every month?" Xiong Xiaoge was the first to ask the question and began to interview the entrepreneur contestants.

"We've been profitable since day one."

Xiong Xiaoge chuckled, "Then why do you want venture capital?"

"First, we can get a sum of money; second, we can get a better management method and this structure." Wu Zhixiang answered in a hurry, and some words were not expressive.

"Have you ever done it in Ali Baba?" Xia Jingxing interjected.

"Thank you very much Mr. Ma for kicking me out of Ali Baba four years ago."

The audience under the stage applauded and laughed. Ma Yun also pinched his chin and snickered, thinking that this little brother gave him a lot of face.

Jack Ma asked: "How do you pass on your values ​​to all employees like Ali Baba?"

"I think it's very important that we have been in business for the past three years. At the beginning of our business, when we only had four people, we established a very good trust mechanism.

Each of us posts our work experience on the intranet every day. It is very simple, but we insist on doing it every day. "

Xia Jingxing pinched his chin and thought, as expected from a big company, building an intranet when there were only four of them felt quite nonsense, but in fact he did it. Knowing what each partner does every day can actually reduce a lot. unnecessary questions.

When he started a business in his previous life, he encountered problems of mutual misunderstanding and mistrust with his partners. Some people always felt that they did more than others, or did nothing at all.

If things go on like this, the team is bound to have big problems.

"How big do you think you are in this market now? In addition, what is the biggest challenge you are facing now? Who are your competitors?" Xiong Xiaoge glanced at the manuscript on the table and continued to ask routinely .

"In the B2B market, we are already No. 1, and we want to enter the B2C market. The biggest competitors in this market are Ctrip and eLong."

With a serious face, Wu Ying said in a mixture of Chinese and English: "CTRIP (Ctrip) is already the largest travel service company in China, why should you compete with it?"

"I just said that we already have the largest group of travel sellers in China. What we need to do is to open the door of this market, and then let all ordinary tourists who are interested in travel also come in and make purchases on this platform.

My profit model is to collect booth fees and transaction fees from tourism suppliers. I have not thought about the business model for ordinary tourists for the time being, but I believe that there must be a good business model, thank you! "

Xia Jingxing chuckled. Strictly speaking, the contestant answered the question a little while avoiding the key points. He did not tell the advantages of Tongcheng in front of Ctrip, or business barriers.

However, Ma Yun said that he was a man, so let him go for the time being, he couldn't get off the stage if he asked, and he didn't look good.

The second contestant, Zhou Yunnan, began to introduce his business plan.

He intends to develop a handheld computer called "Wenyutong", which can be used to solve the hearing impairment of the deaf and mute, and can complete the mutual conversion of text and speech.

The development principle is to use cutting-edge technologies that combine handwriting recognition, speech synthesis, speech recognition and PDA to integrate software and hardware systems.

Using the scene, you can convert the speech of normal people into text and show it to the deaf and mute;

Build an information platform that facilitates communication between normal and deaf people.

Zhou Yunnan also emphasized that through investigation and online search, he found that they are the first product in China to solve the hearing impairment of the deaf and mute, and have independent intellectual property rights.

Xia Jingxing raised a lot of interest and continued to listen to the player's introduction without interrupting his speech.
