Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month.

………………

The sunshine today is not as bright as the past few days.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the clouds and fog began to rise.

The sun is hidden behind the clouds from time to time.

Another room in the same small building has been set up as a desk-style conference hall.

After all, a hundred people came to participate in this game, and the round table meeting layout simply couldn't accommodate them.

Although there is a chairperson's seat, no one, including Shen Neil, has sat on it.

Like most desk-style meetings, there is a standing speaking platform on one side of the rostrum.

After everyone took their seats, Liu Xing from Sequoia Capital took the stage to preside over the meeting.

Originally, according to common sense, this process should be presided over by a certain managing partner of Frontier Angel, such as Wen Ye.

But Mr. Wen was obviously just here to make up the numbers.

This is considered a relatively big exercise for her, and it is difficult to win.

Fang Nian doesn't care about these names, that's it.

Standing on the stage, Liu Xing smiled and said calmly and enthusiastically: "Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, I am Liu Xing of Sequoia Capital China Fund;

First of all, on behalf of Mr. Neil Shen and Mr. Fang Nianfang, I would like to express my deep gratitude to everyone for coming."

"..."

"Now, please invite Mr. Neil Shen and Mr. Shen to take the stage to speak."

After a simple opening remarks, Neil Shen walked to the podium.

Standing behind the podium, Neil Shen cleared his throat, looked at the audience with vacant eyes, and said gently: "As you all know, in the past few days, I have been discussing and communicating with Mr. Fang to prepare for the establishment of a new company in Shanghai. A capital club.”

"Actually, we have been preparing for this for a long time. It was first proposed a few years ago."

"..."

"We hope to build a suitable upstream and downstream platform through the club, open up the investment channel from capital to entrepreneurs, and focus on the Internet industry..."

"..."

"In order to save investment time and cost, reduce investment pressure, and obtain better benefits, Mr. Fang discussed with me a model called..."

"Man-made outlet."

After the word fell, the scene immediately erupted in the noise of whispering.

Neil Shen said calmly: "Everyone, please be patient. I will give you a few simple insights on 'artificial outlet', and I will serve as a starting point."

"In the current era, capital can do a lot, but it has not fully played its role."

"..."

Neil Shen talked about a few concepts and then made a gesture: "Now, I would like to invite Mr. Fang to come to the stage to explain the advantages of this model in more detail."

"..."

Although the weather in Shanghai was still a bit cold, Fang Nian still put on a thin business casual suit.

Somewhat outstanding.

After walking to the podium, Fang Nian looked at the venue and said with a smile: "Good afternoon everyone, I am Fang Nian. It is an honor to meet you all."

"..."

Without much hesitation, Fang Nian talked about the theoretical basis, advantages and benefits of "artificial outlet" in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

"Many years ago, Mr. Qian Xuesen and several professors jointly published a paper on a new scientific field - open complex giant systems and their methodology;

Based on this paper, some relevant scholars have sorted out the construction of a scientific and technological innovation system for a knowledge society from the perspective of complexity science;

It is highlighted that it is people-oriented and starts from the collaborative interaction of scientific research, technological progress and application innovation to build a diversified scientific and technological innovation system driven by the collaboration of government, application, industry, academia and research;

Based on this system theory and referring to the current trends of the mobile Internet era, as capital, we can play a more important subjective role under the guidance of the upper management."

"..."

"From the perspective of industry segments, with the capabilities and capital of all of us here, we can promote the formation of enough outlets in any field, turn the past passivity into initiative, and dominate and control a single industry segment with ease."

"..."

"...As a result, we spend less energy looking for suitable projects, and companies spend less time raising funds..."

"..."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, someone in the audience immediately asked: "Mr. Fang, can I understand that under this model, our investment, development, and output are almost completely controlled by ourselves?"

"It's not so overbearing, but it's understandable." Fang Nian replied with a smile.

"..."

The first link is completely conceptual.

Shen Nier and Fang Nian took turns in the battle.

It even combines slides, presentation documents, etc. to explain the advantages of forming a platform in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

At least it can avoid the waste of repeated competition.

It also shows that under the system of government, industry, academia and research, there are too many links where capital can intervene.

No matter what kind of economic system it is, money is always the best weapon.

No one here understands the principle that cooperation brings benefits to all parties;

But the main reason why we didn't unite before was that we couldn't find a common, controllable, and beneficial goal.

Especially if it is truly controllable, no one dares to guarantee it.

However, under the explanations of Fang Nian and Shen Nier, everyone here discovered that the artificial outlet model is very controllable.

also……

Neil Chen used one word in particular.

Capital... can distort human nature.

Although all the men here are wearing suits and leather shoes, and the women are dignified, they all look like celebrities.

but!

The eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, are all a bunch of thieves and prostitutes.

The word "profit first" is particularly vivid in the field of capital.

In fact, since everyone is willing to travel thousands of miles to come here, it means that the revealed information has already attracted them.

The reason why the theoretical basis, advantages, benefits, etc. need to be explained on site is simply to better verify whether everyone's needs are matched.

There is no better way to describe it than in one word.

Money moves people's hearts.

all in all.

Under the system of "government, industry, academia and research", once the "artificial outlet" model came out, the capital present almost salivated.

Not to mention quitting, I wish I could bring people in on the spot.

But it is obvious that there is some kind of tacit understanding here that governs how many people come. It seems that there is no invitation letter, but whether you can get in depends on your qualifications.

Although Fang Nian made it clear that he did not endorse the ‘hegemony theory’.

But everyone believes in their hearts that this is the truth behind it.

On the surface, it still needs to be high-sounding.

…………

After basically reaching consensus, Liu Xing presided over the meeting again.

"The following is a brief description of the name, form, and development plan of the club by Mr. Shen Neil."

Not sloppy at all.

Shen Nier didn't have much, and he quickly said formally: "President Jing Fang proposed that our club be named Influence."

"The meaning is simple and clear, I won't say more. Do you have any opinions?"

Naturally, everyone agrees.

"Okay, now I declare that the Influence Club is officially established."

"The club does not have a membership system. Whether or not to recruit new members depends on whether they can be recognized by the club."

"In order to facilitate everyone's daily communication, Mr. Fang personally invested 30 million and I personally invested 20 million to set up the club's daily office on the 76th floor of Shanghai World Financial Center."
