At the end of 2005, Fu received an angel investment of $654.38 +0.5 million for the project of video dating community for strangers, positioning the website in "show" mode. At that time, the name was not 9 158, but "Long Love".
The so-called "show" mode is to move the offline "nightclub" mode to the online. When you go to an offline nightclub, you have to pay for entering the box, and then you have a beautiful woman to sing with, and you have to tip. The pattern before 9 158 is the same. Users need to pay when they enter the room, and then when they see girls performing, there will also be men "diaosi" to buy virtual gifts for the performers, which is the "tip" of offline nightclubs.
Fu said frankly: "When 9 158 was founded, C2 and Walden Lake had to be invested, and C2 was not as famous as Walden Lake. Because it is a small investment, only $654.38+$0,000 to $2 million, the two companies are unwilling to invest in partnership and are deadlocked. Then I borrowed 6,543,800 yuan from C2 as a down payment, and wrote an IOU. After about two weeks, I really paid 6.5438+0 million yuan.
Later, after I took the money, I was relieved. Many times, the reason for being dragged to death is that you will hang your heart there and worry about whether to vote or not. You think you are signing an investment agreement, but you are not at all. And I took a deposit of 6.5438+0 million yuan, but I didn't care. I don't want to spend too much energy dealing with investors and go back to doing my own thing. If the person in charge of the enterprise ignores the enterprise and invests all day, won't the enterprise go bankrupt?
Moreover, it is necessary to calculate the cash flow well and calculate how much tens of thousands of expenses may be spent a month. Even if it doesn't make money, the company can continue to maintain. You must guarantee this level.
To put it bluntly, we should be cautious and conservative. Many people start renting big offices as soon as they get the money. Don't expand too fast, treat it as your own money, because you never know if the next money will be there.
Cash is the most important thing: make quick money and stay backward.
After getting the money, I have another suggestion. Of course, investors will be a little anxious to hear this: while doing their own products well, they still have to do something that can make money. Many people believe that to accept investment, it is necessary to reach the investor's index and increase the number of users and IP. In fact, what if you go up? Many companies make a lot of money by playing web games. Investors are reluctant to use the money to play web games. Investors don't know much about the version, but they will pay attention to this user volume every day. You listen to him completely. I find it boring to burn advertisements on the internet every day in order to make more users.
I studied it, and now I can make some money on Apple I, and finally I made some money and bought the promotion fee. From this point of view, it is interesting to make a mobile phone similar to the network advertising alliance I made at that time. Just like 9 1 mobile assistants, these companies can make money.
Gold diggers don't make money, but those who sell boats and water make money.
Entrepreneurs all want to go to Jinshan, but there may be Jinshan or Shishan ahead. After you take the money, you can buy so much water and so many boats to find gold, build another boat to sell, and then collect some cash. Advertising, games, e-commerce, and making friends like we are doing now, choose a model and make money first.
