Minke's black technology

Chapter 15 Negotiation Deadlock
It is impossible for monkey tanks not to rush!

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation of "Liquid Cat" is very good, and the attention of the CEO of the Silicon Valley company makes them unable to go to work with peace of mind.

Especially after meeting with Steve, the two hurriedly went through the resignation procedures. They didn't even want the year-end bonus, and they went to Li Maoye without looking back, and the three of them started a business together according to the original plan.

Entrepreneurship naturally requires a company, as well as the division of responsibilities and the determination of individual shares.

The company is easy to manage. Now there are countless new companies opened in Pengcheng every day. As long as they complete the formalities, they can easily start an IT company.

"Have you thought about the name of the company yet?" Monkey asked. He has learned to be smart now, so he will let Li Maoye think about naming things like this. As long as he can get more shares, he can accept any name for the company.

As for tanks, he doesn't even care!

"The name of the company should be 'Meow Star Technology Co., Ltd.'!"

Li Maoye's answer was as expected by the two of them. It must have something to do with cats again, but the name sounds too cute and kawaii, and it doesn't look like a company engaged in technology research and development at all.

"Meow Star Technology Co., Ltd... wait a minute, I'll see if I can apply for it!"

Monkey quickly searched the website and found that this name has been taken by someone. It seems that their luck is not very good, so Li Maoye removed the word "人" and changed it to "Meow Star Technology Co., Ltd." before continuing to apply, and then put After filling in the information and submitting it successfully, just wait for the relevant personnel to approve it.

The next thing they care about is: "How to divide the company's shares?"

Both the monkey and the tank looked at Li Maoye, waiting for him to decide on the company's share division plan.

"Let me see it this way. First, you each take out 100 million RMB to subscribe for 5% of the shares, and then allocate 10% of the remaining shares to the incentive pool to reward employees as options. The remaining 80% of the shares Of course it's mine."

This plan cannot be said to have treated them badly.

Of course, the original shares of the new company cannot be given away for free. No matter how strong their relationship is, they still have to spend real money to buy shares.

According to the valuation given by Randian Technology, Liquid Cat is worth at least 1000 million US dollars!

1000 million US dollars, only more and no less!
Calculated according to this market, the 5% of the shares are worth 50 US dollars, which is 350 million RMB!
Li Maoye knows the situation of the Monkey Tank. Although he has worked in Pengcheng for many years, if they can get 350 million in cash at once, it will really kill them both. Count less on affection.

And this is still today's market, maybe it will rise again tomorrow!

This is also the reason why they are eager to start a company to determine the equity. If this continues and let giants such as Google and Apple join the competition, they may not even get [-]% of the shares by then.

Li Maoye also understood the interests involved, but he didn't give shares indiscriminately because of his years of friendship.

"But..." Monkey spread his hands and said innocently, "I can't even take out 100 million."

Tank beside him also nodded and said: "I am also very poor, and the salary I receive can barely make ends meet."

Li Maoye gave them a blank look, and he knew that things would be like this: "It's okay if you don't have any money. I will keep the equity for you first, and just make up the money within a year."

For this kind of preferential treatment, the monkey and the tank naturally agreed repeatedly.

This is also something that can't be helped. Li Maoye doesn't want to spend too much time managing the company, so he can only find trustworthy and capable people to do it.

Painting big cakes can’t fool people. Everyone is not young people who have just left the society, but all old fritters who don’t see rabbits and don’t scatter eagles. Li Maoye had to hang carrots that they could get, hoping to arouse their enthusiasm.

Now that the shares have been negotiated, we have to talk about the company's structure and short-term goals.

The structure is very simple. The three are the founders of the company, Li Maoye is the major shareholder, and the other two are small shareholders. Then Monkey will be the CEO of the company, and the company's COO will be done by Tan Tan. If there is no candidate, he will give up the position.

Everyone performs their duties, and everyone is arranged very clearly.

"Since I am the chief operating officer, let me tell you about our company's main profit model in the future." Tank said without hesitation: "Selling liquid cat patents and copyrights is not acceptable. road, such as providing cloud compression services.”

Cloud compression service?
"This sounds interesting. You can continue to talk about how to do it."

Both Li Maoye and Monkey showed a listening expression.

"The so-called cloud compression service means that when users need to compress files, they need to log in to our server to obtain authorization, and then we provide compression services, which can be charged through the monthly subscription model."

Tank finally added: "However, our service can only be aimed at those large corporate users, such as major network disk companies, which provide special programs and can charge service fees according to the compressed capacity. If the network disk service 1G capacity is For 1 yuan, we help them compress 1G of space and only charge 1 cents, which is equivalent to one tenth of their original cost."

"Then we don't sell software anymore?" Monkey asked.

"Not for sale anymore, because the compression software market has been occupied by free software such as RAR, ZIP, and 7Z, and it is difficult for us to charge a single user if we enter."

After discussion, they all felt that the charging model for this cloud compression service might be better. Except for those that need customized services, most companies can use cloud services to solve problems.

"That's it, do you have any other comments?"

"No, Master Cat." Monkey Tank replied in unison.

They are very satisfied with this profit distribution. As long as the company is established, the shares will be given to them for nothing, not to mention that there is still a lot of room for appreciation.

"If you don't have an opinion, go to work. I only care about technical issues. We discuss major matters together, and you decide on minor matters."

Li Maoye slapped his butt and got out of the way. He wanted to hurry up and study the CVI system to see if there was a way to restore some commonly used functions. At present, only basic functions can be used in this system, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Negotiations with Randian Technology are still going on, and Steve wants to monopolize the right to use the algorithm if he can't be a shareholder, preventing them from using the algorithm in other places.

But this conflicted with the plan discussed by the three of them, so the monkey firmly insisted that it only provides cloud compression services and does not do exclusive business.

As a result, there was a great conflict with Steve's goal, and the negotiations reached an impasse for a while.
