Chapter 68 Investment in the primary market

Su Yu looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Li Meng, so he couldn't help but answer the call.

"Su Yu, are you free tonight?" Li Meng said on the phone, "He Qian came to Yuhang from Magic City on a business trip, and she plans to spend two days in Yuhang during the weekend before going back. I plan to accompany her. , we are shopping outside now, and we are going to have hot pot together later. If you... don't have an appointment, why not come with us."

"He Qian?" Su Yu whispered.

A figure flashed through his mind, and he remembered that this person was Li Meng's college roommate and his college classmate. He couldn't help but reply: "Since you said so, wouldn't it mean that I am not giving you face if I don't come?"

"Then I'll send you the location." Li Meng smiled softly and hung up the phone.

Then, she sent the location of the hot pot restaurant to Su Yu.

Su Yu carefully recalled the memory of the girl 'He Qian' in his mind, then turned off the computer, got up, packed up, and went out to the place where they agreed to eat.

Walking into the hot pot restaurant, Su Yu immediately saw two girls holding milk tea in their hands, talking and laughing.

"Here, yours..." When Su Yu approached, Li Meng pushed another unopened cup of milk tea on the table in front of Su Yu and said, "Don't say I treat it differently."

"You really treat me differently."

After Su Yu sat down, before he could speak, He Qian had already smiled and teased: "I never thought that Li Meng would value sex over friends. I never thought... you two would actually get together."

"Don't get me wrong." Su Yu coughed lightly and said hurriedly, "Li Meng and I are just roommates."

He Qian looked at Su Yu carefully and chuckled: "I don't believe it. You two don't work in the same organization. If there is no other relationship, how can you live together? Besides... men and women rent together, the risk factor is, It's not an ordinary high. If the man is affectionate and the concubine is interested, who would be willing?"

"But... our beautiful lady Li has good taste."

"I just take it as a compliment." Su Yu chuckled, not bothering to explain anymore, changed the subject, and asked with a smile, "Beauty He, did I hear that you got married and found a huge man? A rich local from Magic City?"

"How is that possible?" He Qian said with some outrage, "Who started this rumor? I just have a boyfriend, I don't plan to get married yet, and the other person is not from Shanghai, but from Hong Kong City."

"Oh." Su Yu smiled, "Maybe I remembered it wrong."

"Who did you listen to?" He Qian stared at Su Yu carefully for a while and asked.

Su Yu thought for a while and replied: "I don't know who in the university group is spreading rumors that He Damei has entered a venture capital institution in Shanghai, and then met a big business boss in an investment project. "

"I did join a venture capital firm, but I don't know any big business bosses." He Qian responded, and then she said a little indignantly, "They say that we girls like to catch people's opinions, and I think you guys do too. Not much worse, even better."

"I, He Qian, rely on my own ability to make a living and never rely on anyone else."

"These people, those superficial girls who secretly imagine me as a sugar daddy, damn it, hum... don't let me know who is spreading rumors behind my back, otherwise I will make him look good."

Su Yu smiled and looked at He Qian who was whining, but said nothing.

What he just said was actually not a rumor, but that He Qian finally found a business owner in the Magic City who was almost 10 years older than her, and lived an ordinary life as a rich woman.

"Well, it's better to guard against others than to guard against rivers. If your mouth is on others, you can only let them say what they want to say." Li Meng saw his best friend's angry look and hurriedly comforted her, "As long as you It’s enough to have a clear conscience and know what kind of person you are. After all, we only need to live for ourselves, not for others.”

"You still think clearly." He Qian calmed down and praised Li Meng's comfort.

Then, she came back to her senses, looked at Li Meng and Su Yu carefully for a while, and asked: "So... you two are really innocent?"

"Didn't you just say that? We are just roommates living together." Su Yu replied.

"Hey, that's such a pity." He Qian sighed, "Actually, I think you two are quite a match."

"Okay, since it's not a good match, I won't worry about you as a matchmaker." Li Meng chuckled lightly, put a piece of hot tripe into her bowl, changed the subject, and asked, "Qianqian, I Judging from the updates posted in your space, it seems that you often travel across the country, so the performance of your organization should not be bad, right?"

"It's okay!" He Qian replied, "The secondary market is sluggish and there is a lack of direct financing channels in the market. Coupled with the suspension of domestic IPOs, naturally the financing demand in the primary market will be relatively prosperous, but our institution is not It is a large organization with limited financial strength. Even though in the past year and a half, I have followed my master to come into contact with many projects with urgent financing needs, but due to limited funds, the options are very limited."

"Your master?" Li Meng asked with some confusion.

"Yes." He Qian nodded and said, "He is a senior investment manager in the domestic VC investment industry. He has been guiding me since I entered Guangya Investment."

"But now I can take charge of some small projects independently."

"I came to Yuhang this time to inspect a project, and when I go back next week, I have to contact a game company. Basically, I am responsible for these two projects independently."

"Guangya Investment, a gaming company..." Su Yu listened to He Qian's slightly boastful words, captured the key information, and carefully recalled the glorious record of this organization in domestic investment, and what he once heard from Li Meng, After hearing about He Qian’s experience working in Guangya Investment, I couldn’t help but add, “Recently, the concept of ‘mobile games’ has been very hot in the secondary market. Capital is very optimistic about this industry. I guess why? This 'game company project' that the beautiful lady came into contact with should also be very promising, right?"

"Well, this is a mobile game production company." He Qian replied, "It is currently on the forefront, but this company is still very small. It has been established for less than a year and a half, and it only has one game. Mobile games are operating.”

"But I see that their mobile game's sales data after it was launched are pretty good."

"Moreover, after initial contact with their management, I can feel that this company is still serious about making products and has great potential."

"What is the name of the mobile game operated by their company?" Su Yu asked curiously, "I have also recently been researching this industry and investment opportunities in the secondary market."

"It seems to be called 'Hengkai Academy'." He Qian said, "I tried downloading it and playing it. It was quite fun."

Su Yu's eyes trembled slightly when he heard the name of this game, and then asked: "Does their company really have urgent financing needs?"

"Judging from the preliminary communication, it should be yes." He Qian knew that Su Yu and Li Meng both worked in the sales department of a securities company and were not involved in primary market investments, so when the other party asked about work projects, At that time, he was not too wary and concealed, "Although the mobile game industry has been favored by capital recently, everyone's first investment target does not involve small start-up companies that cannot see obvious future prospects and industry competitiveness. For example, companies like the one I mentioned just now are rarely paid attention to by powerful institutions."

"Actually, this project..."

“It was not our organization that contacted them first, but they came to us.”

"I heard that the reason why they urgently need money is because banks seem to be tightening loan approvals recently, and the Federal Reserve is about to raise interest rates. In China, whether it is the central bank, financial institutions, various venture capital companies, etc., there are signs of monetary tightening. , causing them to temporarily be unable to obtain bank loans, so they had to seek financing from over-the-counter institutions."

When Su Yu heard He Qian's explanation, he sensed a huge investment opportunity in his heart. After pondering for a while, he continued to ask: "Can Beauty He tell me the approximate financing needs of this company?"

"The project is not big. According to their needs, only 1.5 million is enough." He Qian replied subconsciously, and then she realized something was wrong. She stared at Su Yu and said with a guarded face, "Su Yu , if you ask in such detail, are you trying to pry this project away from me?"

"If you really have this intention, it would be extremely unjust."

Seeing that she was quick to talk and didn't care much about what she said, Su Yu smiled and said, "I don't work in a venture capital institution, how can I take advantage of the project in your hands?"

"but……"

Su Yu paused and said, "This project shouldn't be a high priority for your organization, right?"

A 1.5 million financing project, even if Guangya's investment volume is not very large, would probably be difficult to take notice of. What's more, the other company has only been established for less than a year and a half. In the case of a cash flow crisis, there is no way to see anything. Prospects and potential, Su Yu guessed that the reason why Guangya Investment was willing to contact this project was simply because of the fact that the other party was a 'mobile game production company'.

"You have to do everything slowly. You won't become a big fat man with one bite." Li Meng heard Su Yu speak too clearly, and was afraid that the two of them would be emotionally embarrassed, so he hurriedly calmed down, "I think it took Qianqian a year and a half to join the venture capital firm. , being able to take over projects independently is already very impressive, unlike me... who is still struggling in the position of 'stock broker'."

"That's not what I meant." Su Yu saw that the two girls misunderstood what he meant and thought that he was attacking each other, so he hurriedly explained, "I mean that if this financing project is not a high priority for your organization, , the probability of passing is very low, then... He Damei might as well transfer this project to me."

"Didn't you just say..." He Qian was extremely surprised and stared at Su Yu angrily.

But before she could finish her words, Su Yu interrupted her and continued: "I don't want to pry into your project, but I want He Damei to help you after this investment project plan is rejected by the leaders of your organization." I pulled the strings and won the project for me.”

"You mean..." Li Meng was stunned and said in surprise, "You want to invest in this project alone?"
