Originally, Han Lie only had four kinds of leverage—
Yunfeng's favor, adding money, his own potential and influence, and individual benefits delivery.
Among them, adding money corresponds to premium.
Potential and influence correspond to Han Lie himself and his network, which may potentially help Byte in the future.
Individual benefits delivery corresponds to Han Lie's investing capability—Byte executives like Chen Lin would be more inclined to accept him as a shareholder so they could entrust him with asset management.
Despite having four types of leverage, Han Lie still wasn't 100% confident in acquiring Byte.
After all, his opponents were Sequoia, Lei Jun, and Sina.
And Han Lie could only provide money temporarily; everything else was pie in the sky or minor details.
Anyone with a basic grasp of internet venture capital knows that the resources represented by the Sina-Red-Lei trio can't be replaced by money alone.
All relying on premium?
Spending money like crazy?
