VC and I (1)--when VC became a "faith"

http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/8817.html "> Personal webmaster No VC can go how far?"

I walked for 4 years.

Since 2003, I've spent 12 months on and off in four years looking for a VC, looking for acquisitions, this 12 months in the 12 months of tired not black white, but did not exchange a penny of the wind, but shady spent a lot of wrong money, than spending more heartache is, I lost the most precious year of the Internet's rapid development, and I know that maybe I lost more.

My website U9 network (www.uuu9.com), starting from 0 to now ranked 1500, from an unknown game around the site, developed into now in their field one of the site, rely on their own efforts to today, shake off a tired, looking back, there seems to be a lot of words to say, Hope to those who also pinned to the sky to lose VC friends some help.

Talk about the first year of entrepreneurship, at that time, VC has become my belief in the Internet life.

2003, my site ranked 20,000, monthly income of 500 Yuan, 2 employees (themselves and their wives).

At that time the sky was so high that it was a simple matter to take the VCs.

Impression, the other people's mouth VC is not understand the details of the network, fooled their money came, and at least millions of. Today, there are many people who are optimistic and wrong with the same understanding.

Know that there are such VC everywhere, so I surf the internet every day, more than a task, in Baidu crazy search for example, "venture capitalists", "VC phone." You know, that period of time is I from an ordinary netizen to search the important stage of transformation, just a few days time, I found the soft silver through the search engine, IDG, China surplus and other major risk company's contact telephone, and found the relevant 618.html "> Head, everything seems to be in control."

Next, those in charge began to listen to my website with interest. The other party is very polite to make a written proposal. Everything's in the grip.

Write it overnight!

A few days later, VC in the meeting.

Waiting, still in restless anxiously waiting.

Several days later, the notice was received. Let's go to Beijing for an interview right away.

Two words, excited!

Finally the sky dropped VC hit me!!!

Can ask me to go, explain the problem is not big, should go to meet to talk about, perhaps can take money back to Xi ' an. Thus, the new suit, with only a little savings to buy a valuable gift, take the opportunity to go, while Hing.

See VC investors, immediately put on the gift, and told him, got the money must give you xx%, this time the heart is very practical, "serious" in the VC office reported the site, 30 minutes, reporting the end. Investors said the problem is not big, and so they will discuss, let me back to Xi ' an and other news, so the overnight flight back, back immediately began to understand the office of the best, and then invited 35 friends, began to rave, tell everyone, the man will be rich soon. The results do not need me to say, we must have guessed, various reasons to evade nearly 1 months later, told me: "Your project is too small, we are not afraid of you want more money, afraid of your project small, you consider some major items to find me, at any time to keep in touch." "I hung up before I spoke."

This time suddenly feel VC and rain is not the same, for landing height is retractable. After half a month to adjust, return to normal, look back at their website, nearly 3 months, has been only the wife maintenance updates, the popularity of a sharp decline, ranking also fell to 30,000 ... .

Come back for some time, once in a dream, VC also said to me, your project is too small

To TMD big projects, do not want to VC, continue to boil (not finished, to be continued, interested, collect this page, slowly look)
