Wei Tao doesn't like the temperature environment in Yangcheng. It has nothing to do with the city. He simply doesn't like the feeling of humidity in the air, and he doesn't like the temperature that doesn't change much throughout the year. Even if you sweat a little, your body will feel very uncomfortable. If you sweat a little, your whole body will feel completely moist. It will feel like you can't keep the surface of your skin dry and cool even if you take showers several times a day.
Fortunately, instead of asking him to settle down for a long time and just go on a business trip, the air conditioning in the five-star hotel room can make him temporarily forget about the quality of the environment outside.
That evening, the parties gathered together at a local restaurant with specialties, and Li Xueling also attended with several key partners.
Zhu Xichun and Lu Jiang were already familiar with many things. The boss was in the box, so the two of them found a table outside the box closest to the box area and ordered a few dishes. They didn't drink wine. They had to eat and drink to satisfy themselves. There is no need to look at anyone's eyes, the 'public consumption money' given by the boss is sufficient, they will not spend this kind of expenses intentionally, and there is no need to deliberately save or worry about being suspected.
It's time to eat and drink. As for the boss, they now know their responsibilities. Calling them bodyguards, drivers, and assistants is actually inappropriate. Mr. Wei has trained with Tang Cen, The two of them were knocked down almost instantly due to their innate physical fitness.
In addition, Wei Tao would not give them orders in a completely condescending tone, and he would not act as a follower. As a result, the two of them had trouble sleeping since their status as bodyguards was no longer so solid.
Zhu Xichun is a good friend, but he feels that he has no role and is very disappointed.
Lu Jiang was worried, worried that he would have no use for himself, and he was especially afraid that his boss would no longer use him. If he didn't have Zhu Xichun by his side who would help him out when things happened, he would have been unavoidable.
When Wei Tao learned about their thoughts, he smiled and said: "I can't see you every day now, I guess."
The implication is that the three of us are together every day, and we are used to it. There is something wrong with me. You are by my side. I don’t need to say anything. You have thought of it for me in advance. To me, I can’t live without you.
With a calm mind, the two of them went to the security company to train when they had time in Songjiang. They usually followed Wei Tao and would train in a small area without affecting their work as drivers. Push-ups and so on, I still think it will be more useful.
Other than that, the two of them are the same as before. They eat and drink when they should, and they are not polite when they should be cool. Wei Tao gives them a fixed salary every month and lets the finances be put into their cards. Zhu Xichun is He holds it himself, while Lu Jiang’s salary card is held by his parents.
Normally, the two of them have nothing to spend money on. Wei Tao takes care of all the food, clothing, housing and transportation. Each of them has 10,000 yuan in their pockets at any time. All expenses come from here. Any money spent goes to the finance department. There are no restrictions on how to withdraw money, but the two of them still know the rules. There is at least one statistics for big expenses, but not for small ones. There may be accounts for seven or eight thousand yuan for ten thousand yuan. , and the rest, such as buying cigarettes and water, cannot be recorded in detail.
Wei Tao had never gone to the finance department to check the accounts, but Wei Tao did not tell the two of them about this behavior. It was the finance manager, Sister Lu, who was sophisticated and understanding. In private, to add extra points to the boss's image, he revealed the news to the two of them.
Zhu Xichun didn't have much to say. Although he was tall and strong in the past, he always charged forward in fights. In fact, when he was with Wei Tao and Qiu Bo, he always obeyed orders. Anyway, I would do whatever my buddies said. I'm too lazy to use my own brain.
When we arrived at Lu Jiang, those who were more or less close friends and confidants were dead, especially him. He had worked with several bosses in the south, and was given up and cheated. He was already disheartened, like a cold stone. , I just let Wei Tao warm me up, but now I don’t have any other thoughts. Following Mr. Wei is my greatest hope in this life.
As for marrying, having children, and starting a family, Lu Jiang doesn't want to at the moment. To be honest, he hasn't had enough fun. With Mr. Wei, there are many opportunities to take a bath like this. He usually has fun and has fun. With Mr. Wei, he will never forget it. The two of them are now enjoying their happy life at the beginning of their good times. Why are they stupid enough to start a family at this time?
"Gou Chunzi, do you think the boss will stay here for a few more days this time?" After eating and drinking, he drank a glass of watermelon juice, burped coolly, lit a cigarette, Lu Jiang rolled his eyes, Ask about Happy Spring.
Zhu Xichun was staring at the program on the TV on the wall. He glanced at it casually: "I didn't know, I don't like this either. I should finish my work and go back early."
Lu Jiang leaned over and lowered his voice: "You know nothing. Do you know where this is? Do you know how many entertainment projects there are here? Do you know where it is not far away? You haven't tried it, right? Let me tell you..."
The two big gentlemen were really a bit confused when they were chatting, but they didn't mind, so naturally they didn't see the surprised looks in some people's eyes.
The two of them didn't care about what happened in the box, and they didn't understand. Zhu Xichun still doesn't understand how his brother became the big boss of Songjiang and had so many ideas. If I can't figure it out, I won't think about it. Anyway, the two of us have very unified thoughts now. If anyone touches my boss, he will have to step over our bodies; as long as the boss gives the order, it will be without hesitation and no need to think about it in his mind. One lap, follow orders directly.
Many years later, we both got married and started our own careers. Living in the Songjiang area, we were two first-class people. When we got together to drink together, we would unconsciously talk to each other. At that time, we were really hopeless. , the boss is not talking about a business of hundreds of thousands or millions, but a business of hundreds of millions, billions or billions. What were the two of us doing at that time?
Are you considering how to choose when you take a big bath and have three rows of beautiful girls say hello to you at once?
……………………
Rebus is here, Li Xueling is here with four technical backbones, investor Liu Qin is here, and Wei Tao is here, making up today's dinner party.
Wei Tao knew in his heart, and guessed that they were all waiting to see me now. They might have finished exchanging opinions. If he and Rebus hadn't been deepening their friendship and had mentioned a voice penguin in the first place, they might not have discussed it with him. , but start the plan directly.
Despite his old spirit, the overall feeling of this meal was a bit tasteless, the atmosphere was not warm, and it was more like a simple work meal.
As expected, Wei Tao was not included in the tacit adjustment.
Rebus and Li Xueliang each hold 40% of the equity, and Wei Tao still holds 16%. With a few technical backbones, the 4% is more like a prerequisite guarantee and has little practical significance.
Wei Tao didn't get angry, although he felt uncomfortable. What he meant before was that if there were adjustments before financing, he would hold about 20%. Now Liu Qin is sitting here, so what does that mean? He was not afraid of offending Li Xueliang, nor was he afraid of offending Rebus. He had just expected such a thing. Besides, it was nothing. No one could find anything wrong with Li Xueliang's personal transfer in private, even if it was for one piece. The price of money transfers, and I am happy with it, who can say anything?
The initial expectations were not that high, so there was not much disappointment. Wei Tao was satisfied with the original 16% stake. Any more would be an unexpected surprise. In the future, there will be ByteDance, and there will be some Tuan, and some meters, the current "Duowan" is just testing the waters, it is a process of self-test and self-refinement.
When some flames of unwillingness and greed emerge in his heart, he will tell himself that you must be content.
If such persuasion does not work, he will hit it with a heavy hammer. Don't be greedy. Once you are greedy, you will get more. The project is not the project in your memory. No matter how much you get now, your future development may not be so good. You end up getting less.
For someone like Rebus, who has such a strong idea of control and has always been the big brother, would he allow himself to have no say?
Wei Tao also got a glimpse of who Li Xueliang was. This guy had serious character flaws. Sooner or later he would suffer in business, even if he was just doing research and technology. With his character of always looking down on the people around him, sooner or later he would suffer. Suffer.
The combination of these two people, they are both teachers and friends, is no problem, but if there is another one, they are destined to stay within the framework prescribed by them, otherwise they will become the target of their resistance.
Be prepared. No matter how high the valuation of round A is, I guarantee that 16% of my equity will be invested. There is no pressure. Even if it is round B, I can still handle it. After that, it depends on the situation. If I am willing to be diluted, I will be diluted. If I don’t want to have more spare money, I will continue to invest. As an original shareholder investor, I still have this qualification.
He thinks a lot, and most of them are self-discipline, forming a pattern of self-discipline. He feels that if he 'plays more' here and encounters more things now, he will have more experience to deal with other investments in the future. .
If it is a troubled time, let the messy things come more violently.
He thought a lot, but when Rebus opened his mouth, he felt a little secretly embarrassed, and he was more or less a villain. Although Rebus was a businessman, he was a person who could be called a sentimental person. , and it has not yet been mentioned that the interests are so great that they are all in business, not to mention that there is Liu Qin. Relatively speaking, he still approves of Wei Tao more in his heart.
"The valuation given to Duowan from outside is US$25 million. Mr. Wei, according to Mr. Li and I, we are prepared to accept Liu Qin's investment in the A round of financing, which is US$5 million, with a shareholding ratio of 20%..."
It is much more than the original 3 million. It seems that the concept of Waiwai Voice brings better prospects.
Rebus continued: "Now I want to discuss with you, what proportion should we give this time?"
Wei Tao understood: "What's the highest amount you can take out?"
Li Xueling said from the side: "25%."
Wei Tao: "My original investor's valuation discount, what is it this time?"
Li Xueling: "18 million."
Rebus sighed secretly in his heart. After all, this time, what we did was a bit unethical. Everyone could see that we had discussed it and waited for Wei Tao, instead of waiting for him to come and discuss it together.
I'm sorry. I'll make up for it later. This time I need to control the right to speak and must stand with Li Xueling.
Wei Tao didn't even hesitate. Compared to what they had agreed upon, he seemed more unconcerned: "Okay, I'll invest the remaining 5%."
I'm just stupid and have a lot of money, so just give me a chance, and I'll jump into the trap. In the end, whether it's a trap or not, whether it's stupid or not, that has to be tested by time. It’s okay, isn’t it just $900,000? It's trivial.
