Actually I just want to act

Chapter 420 The CCTV host came to the door
After Fang Jiming came back, the waiter came in with the bill and said, "Sir, this is your change."

Seeing this scene, Chen Hongjie's expression became a little strange. "Fang Dong, how embarrassing is this? We invited you to the banquet, how can we let you pay the bill? Waiter, how much is the meal?"

The waiter was obviously used to this scene, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Fang Jiming said: "There's no need to argue, it's a small matter of a meal. In this way, next time you are ready, please invite me."

This sentence has a double meaning, Chen Hongjie understands it, don't look at Fang Ming's young age, this trick is okay!Because next time get ready, what does it mean to be ready?It is to be ready to accept the conditions stated by the party, not to be ready to treat guests.

Meng Weiwen also frowned, thinking: "Sure enough, there are not many simple roles that can succeed in starting a business!"

But business negotiations are like this. In business, everyone thinks about maximizing profits, and there is no right or wrong.

After some courtesies, Fang Jiming got into Zhu Jun's car and took Meng Guangxi back to school.

Along the way, Meng Guangxi never mentioned what happened just now, but only discussed acting skills with Fang Jiming.In fact, both of them know that this is looking for something to say.

At this moment, Fang Jiming's cell phone rang, and he saw that it was Li Dongpeng calling.

"Hey, IDG is going to start a valuation on Feixun?"

Fang Jiming was a little confused. He must know IDG, which is a capital company of Meilijian and the first foreign investment institution to explore the Chinese market.In addition to the VC venture capital business that started, IDG is also actively deploying various stages including early stage (VC), growth stage (Growth), and mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and is starting to build an industrial platform around potential industries.

To put it bluntly, IDG is a venture capital institution.

But this venture capital institution has a characteristic. It likes to invest in potential companies, and it will not invest alone. It likes to attract several investment institutions to jointly invest in a company.The parent company of IDG is a group company of Meilijian, which includes International Data Corporation and so on.

"How much are they willing to pay?"

Fang Jiming wanted to know this most. After all, the full name of IDG is IDG Technology Venture Capital Fund, also known as IDG Capital, which has invested in many high-tech enterprises in China.For example, Surf.com and Fangda Computer have invested in it.

Li Dongpeng said: "They haven't finished the valuation yet, so it's probably not too much."

Fang Jiming was silent for a while, and then said: "Understood."

It is the winter of the Internet at present, no matter how powerful Feixun is, it will not be able to sell at a high price.

"Since this is the case, we can only suspend the financing. In other words, I will only give 20% of the shares, but only 10 billion..." Fang Jiming sighed, angel financing is indeed difficult.Of course, this was also the reason why Fang Jiming refused to let go.If he was willing to let go, Feixun would have already received financing.

Meng Guangxi also heard it from the side, so he couldn't say much.

But after returning to the dormitory, Meng Guangxi sent a text message to Meng Weiwen.

Meng Weiwen was also very straightforward, and texted back: "Got it."

……

Fang Jiming has been very busy recently, and he didn't finish writing the script, so he was pulled out by Gu Hongye.

"Cai Xiongxin has arrived in Yanjing, you must talk to him." Gu Hongye said while driving.

"Your parents are here too?" Fang Jiming laughed.

Gu Hongye let out a "hmm", obviously he didn't want to talk about his parents, and changed the subject: "You should understand their purpose. But you don't have to give me face, just talk about it as you like."

Fang Jiming smiled and said: "I know, anyway, 10% of Feixun's shares should be reserved for employees. I haven't given it yet because the company's prospects are uncertain. Therefore, the shares I can take out are only 40%. Even if angels have raised funds, if they don’t continue to inject capital in the future, the shares will still be diluted.”

"You want to keep 50% for yourself?"

Gu Hongye was startled, "Is this too much?"

Fang Jiming shook his head and said, "Not much." Indeed, not much. In his previous life, there was an Internet tycoon named Ding Sanshi who was more cautious than Fang Jiming. The NetEase he founded was very cautious about financing. There are still 55% of the shares!This super high share made Ding Sanshi the richest man in the country in one fell swoop—no way, he kept too many shares!

As for Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu.com in his previous life, he was another typical example. He couldn't hold on to his shares. As a result, the company's development had to listen to the shareholders, which dragged down Sohu's development abruptly.It's not that Zhang Chaoyang doesn't want to deeply cultivate a field, but that developing a new field requires spending money and time, and the return is not so fast.Once Sohu's profits decline, the shareholders will quit.In addition, Zhang Chaoyang is easy to talk, and he can only be forced to change his mind by the shareholders, so naturally he can't do anything.

Talents who left Sohu.com in their previous life even started a business against Sohu. It is conceivable that Sohu is not lacking talents, but that it did not stick to one direction.For example, Sohu Video, which was clearly one of the earliest video sites, was rendered obsolete by iQiyi, who left Sohu.

So, we must keep the right to speak.In his previous life, Robin Li was very stubborn. Once a shareholder made irresponsible remarks, he immediately threatened to let the other party withdraw their capital.

If Baidu hadn't fallen into the eyes of money, maybe it would have a chance to compete with Google.After all, Google's technology is based on Robin Li's patented technology in his previous life, but it is only more perfect.

Gu Hongye said: "My parents, the two founders, only hold 42% of the shares in the group. However, the shares in the group for employees exceed 8%, and the voting rights are all in the hands of my parents, and the shares are also You can’t buy, sell and transfer at will, and you can still control the company.”

"It has to be like this. Your parents are right. You have to completely control the company. Actually, it's okay for me to have less shares. The key is that the employee's shareholding should be higher." Fang Jiming said, "It's okay to work for capital. But the opponent's hand cannot be stretched too far."

Gu Hongye sighed: "Now you are short of money, there is nothing you can do. I'm afraid my parents will vote too."

"Then welcome, as long as you are willing to sign the agreement, give me the right to vote, and meet my psychological expectations, I will definitely accept the financing." Fang Jiming said with a smile.

"It's probably not easy. My parents talked about business... Forget it, you've seen philistine businessmen, that's all." Gu Hongye curled his lips, not knowing what it meant.

Fang Jiming smiled and said, "You actually said that about your parents. If your parents weren't so successful, would you be able to drive a luxury car?"

Gu Hongye said indifferently: "I don't care if it's a luxury car or not."

"You have the talent to say that, and many people don't have it." Fang Jiming sighed, "I'm really short of money, and I can't do many projects without money. For example, I want to set up a public welfare fund to help the poor. Students. How can this idea be realized without money? At the very least, the company must not be short of money.”
