As for the two people except Cai Haoyu, their shares have changed back to before classmate Xing left.
It was nothing more than buying a total of 13,000 shares from Classmate Xing, splitting the shares equally between the two, and now selling them at a high price.
In fact, the two of them didn't feel much loss.
It was originally about 13% of the equity. Now a year and a half later, the part that was originally spent 6,500 can now be raised to tens of millions.
In these difficult times, the two founders are content.
The one who suffered the most was Cai Haoyu. His dividend rights plummeted from 41 to 25, but his actual decision-making rights increased instead of falling.
Still in an absolute dominant position.
"To be honest, according to my original idea, I would never agree to release so many shares." In Cai Haoyu's mind, the bottom line is that he and the other two founders hold at least 51% of the shares, but this bottom line is not for anyone. We can talk about it no matter where we come.
"But there are a few things that make me think this situation is acceptable. First, you are not pure capital, but programmers who have the same experience as us and have your own business; second, 20% of you are virtual stocks , only the dividends are needed; third, Don Juan’s philosophy and understanding of our route make me feel at ease.”
"I personally still hope to control the transferred shares within 30%, and the financing can be less. If you insist on holding 40%, the price is only one aspect. I hope I can use your technical connections and whiteness and Google."
Meng Fanqi understood clearly, "I completely understand your thoughts. This is not difficult. We can write it in the contract in detail. If we fail to obtain the designated level of publicity resources for you, you can repurchase this part of the equity at the original price, even if Their value has changed.”
"Baidu, especially Google is a world-class giant. Are you sure that when we have overseas distribution needs later next year, you can make the decision?"
Liu Wei didn't mean to doubt anything. He had just searched and knew that Meng Fanqi's technical level was incredible. But can a technician, especially an AI algorithm technician, really reach out to games, the Google App platform, or even advertising departments?
These are all unrelated departments...
Only Meng Fanqi knew that after he submitted a new version of the recommendation algorithm in a few weeks, Google's net profit in the first quarter of 2014 might increase by ten or twenty percentage points.
It can generate billions of dollars in revenue in a single quarter.
He has made a revolution in Google's core revenue segment, which accounts for 80% of the company's revenue. Don't the people on Google's board of directors regard him as the apple of his eye?
For his sake, what does it mean to provide a game company with several channels and two advertisements? We are all a family, so outsiders.
There is Google abroad and Baidu in China. It can be said that the search engine sector has been firmly won.
The importance of this for future product promotion is self-evident.
Mi Huyou, who is looking for investment everywhere, has naturally prepared ready-made contract terms.
As this part of the terms was written into it, Cai Haoyu finally re-adjusted the company's equity at a price of 15 million, selling 40% of the shares.
Compared with 100,000 in 2011 and 1 million in 2012, the annual income continues to grow at a tenfold rate. Generally speaking, it is still optimistic.
Meng Fanqi put away the contract with satisfaction. Compared with the income he will get from Google next year, this ten million is not much, and his subsequent plans are not short of this little money.
If it were used directly for investment, how many times would it have to be traded before it could become close to 100 billion in a few years?
In fact, there are some other companies in their infancy at this time, such as BitDance, where Meng Fanqi worked before his rebirth, or Ximalaya, Xiaohongshu, etc.
However, both BitDance and Ximalaya have already completed one or two rounds of financing at this time. If they want to enter the game, it will cost at least tens of millions. Meng Fanqi does not have that much money at the moment.
Although Xiaohongshu is in the same initial stage as Mihuyou, its subsequent financing rounds are numerous and complex, and it is far less simple and easy to control than Mihuyou.
Avoiding those capitals and funds can save you a lot of trouble.
Going back to more than ten years ago, the idea of buying out a large amount of shares in a future technology giant with hundreds of thousands or one million, and then becoming a tens of billions, is actually a little naive.
The financing process of these technology companies is shocking and complicated, and there are too many ways and methods that can be manipulated.
Song Tao, Mi Huyou's sole investor, is not a nobody. His SK Network was founded in 2005 and was China's first mobile Internet company listed in the United States. Its platform has accumulated over a billion users.
Several of Mihuyou’s early games were supported by this platform.
If you can only provide a small amount of capital without other connections and influence, it will be difficult to really hold on to those shares while the company is taking off.
The roadmap can be said to be very complicated. The reason why the company's articles of association need to stipulate detailed dividend methods and time, the proportion of salary and bonus of major shareholders, and the borrowing process is to restrict major shareholders who hold 50+ shares from excluding small shareholders.
Forcing small shareholders to sell their shares, or simply transferring the company's core assets through various methods, thereby turning the shares in the hands of small shareholders into waste paper.
Complex situations like Xiaohongshu’s multi-round financing are okay in the early stage. After a few years, after gaining momentum, if the shareholders have no other abilities and resources besides the 10 million that year, it will be difficult to secure the equity until 2023. Years later.
But this is not something Meng Fanqi needs to worry about. Although he is basically not planning to start his own business, with investment operations such as technology shares and the acquisition of Mihuyou, Meng Fanqi's assets and worth will reach tens of billions within a year. A level leap.
Just after signing the contract, while several people were still communicating and discussing the company's future and route, Meng Fanqi's phone suddenly rang. Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu glanced at it. The three characters "Li Yanhong" on it suddenly made them feel at ease.
Judging from the direct phone call, his status in Baidu must be extraordinary.
This phone call was actually not a coincidence, or it was a deliberate arrangement.
After Li Yanhong presented at Meng Fanqi's conference on the 7th, he had made more than a dozen calls to Meng Fanqi in the past few days.
Li Yanhong thought that Meng Fanqi would return to China soon, but he did not expect that they would stay in Australia for a few days, so the phone call could not be reached.
A few hours after Meng Fanqi landed today, another call came in from Robin Li.
"Good guy, you are finally back." After the last filming and the advance share, the relationship between Robin Li and Meng Fanqi became even closer, "Are you free recently? I am counting on you to put out fires in government projects! "
Meng Fanqi slightly deliberately turned up his voice a little louder, without letting it out, but anyone who was interested could still hear it clearly.
Cai Haoyu and the other three looked at each other and realized that they seemed to have far underestimated Meng Fanqi's importance to whiteness.
