Volume 2 Yanjing Fengyun Chapter 144 Survive or Sell Yourself?
"How's it going?"
In the computer room of the Allure Entertainment Headquarters, Ye Tian, Cao Yang, and Liu Shuying surrounded Zheng Wenbo and asked anxiously
"It's going to take a while, and I have to modify the configuration in tomcat, otherwise even if it is restored, it will crash quickly when it encounters another peak"
Looking at Zheng Wenbo's nervous repair, Ye Tian also knew that this kind of thing could not be urged, and all this had to start with Cao Yang uploading the brightest star in the night sky recorded a few days ago to the website this morning.
After the end of the seventh live broadcast of the Voice of China last night, passers-by began to ask on the Internet where to hear the pure version, and Ye Tian's fans' first reaction naturally thought of Ye Tian's company-Allure Entertainment, so many people opened the official website of Allure Entertainment, only to find that there is no brightest star in the night sky, only one sentence, saying that the brightest star in the night sky will be launched on the official website at 10 am tomorrow, which is still free and pure and still sung by Ye Tian himself.
Ye Tilt's fans and fans who like this song are naturally extremely satisfied, and they have published blogs to spontaneously promote Allure Entertainment, and so on until 10 o'clock this morning, Cao Yang just uploaded the brightest heart in the night sky to the official website, within 3 minutes, the number of application visits to the website reached 500,000, and 10 minutes later, it reached 1 million, and the surge in access applications immediately led to a great slowdown in the response speed of the website, and finally at 10:20, the website completely collapsed.
Someone began to call the company to report the situation, and the company had no customer service, which was the only person in the company - Cao Yang, just answering the phone made him sweat profusely, Cao Yang also called Ye Tian for the first time to tell Ye Tian about the situation, Ye Tian didn't expect this situation, after all, Zheng Wenbo guaranteed that the website could withstand the impact of millions of traffic, so there is only one reason for this situation, and the website has exceeded one million access applications.
Ye Qian also immediately slipped away from the class, rushed to the company as soon as possible, and at the same time told Zheng Wenbo about the situation, Zheng Wenbo was also taken aback and felt deeply embarrassed, after all, he had boasted about Haikou before, but he didn't expect the website to collapse in just a few days, Zheng Wenbo told the three roommates about the matter, and the three of them were also panicked, they have always boasted of their strong procedural ability and took Ye Tian's money, so the four of them also rushed to the company for the first time, so they started repairing from 11 o'clock until now.
"Okay," Zhang Yida wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tiredly, and the four people who had been nervously repairing also lay down on the back of the seat with relief.
"It's stable for the time being, but if there are new songs online, the current server won't be able to bring it, Brother Ye, you'd better expand the server as soon as possible."
Ye Tian nodded, he didn't expect that the server he spent 200,000 yuan would collapse in a short time, it seems that the first thing the company will do after it has money is to expand the server again.
Just when a few people were chatting, the company's phone suddenly rang again, and Cao Yang now heard the phone ringing in a shadow, or the only girl present Liu Shuying picked up the phone.
"Hello, Allure Entertainment Media, is there anything wrong?"
Looking at Liu Shuying's changing face, Ye Qian and the others were also puzzled, wasn't the website repaired? What else could happen? Three minutes later, Liu Shuying's words finally solved their doubts.
"What do you mean, you're going to invest in our company?"
"That's... Please wait a while, I'll let the boss answer the phone" said as he covered the receiver with one hand and asked Ye Tian for help with his eyes.
Ye Tian walked to the landline and took the earpiece: "Hey, hello, I'm Ye Tian, the general manager of Allure Entertainment Media"
"Haha, Mr. Ye, our company has been paying attention to you for a long time, let me introduce myself first, I am Xiao Guanhai, director of the investment department of Fenghua Venture Capital Group, and I want to talk to you about our company's investment in your company this time."
"May I ask why your company is interested in our company?"
"Haha, our company is mainly to invest in start-up enterprises, because of your reputation, when you founded Allure Entertainment, has been on our watch list, this morning your official website has not exceeded one million visits, this is a lot of large websites can not reach the data, and after the risk assessment of our investment department, as you continue to advance in the Voice of China competition, your company's website traffic will continue to rise rapidly, which is undoubtedly a very good drainage channel, so our group will officially list your company as an investment object”
"Besides, I guess your company must be very short of money now, didn't the website just crash in the morning? How can you buy a server if you don't have money? If you don't have enough servers to support you, I'm afraid your website can't upload another song. ”
Ye Tian was silent, it seemed that he had already prepared on the other side, not only had he already listed himself as an object of observation, but everyone knew every move of the company clearly, but he could also understand that after all, he was doing venture capital, and he must thoroughly understand the investment object.
"Yes, I do need to inject funds now, so I don't know what your company requires of us or what do I need to pay?"
"Haha, Mr. Ye is not only good at singing, but also has excellent business acumen, so I can't tell you on the phone for a while, tomorrow at 7 o'clock in the evening, Shengshi Huafu Hotel, we will chat while eating"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian turned around and saw everyone's expectant eyes
"Ye Tian, is someone really going to invest in us?"
"How much are they going to invest? 5 million, 10 million?"
"Our company has only been open for a few days, and there is investment coming to the door?"
Listening to everyone's excited discussions, Ye Tian shook his head and said, "It's not that step yet, and I don't know anything about them, he asked me to go to the Shengshi Huafu Hotel tomorrow night for an interview."
"By the way, Wenbo, you check what is the origin of this Fenghua Venture Capital Group"
"Okay"
More than ten seconds later, Zheng Wenbo said with some surprise: "Ye Tian, I found out, this Fenghua Venture Capital was established in 2000, the headquarters is also in Yanjing, the company's assets are 1 billion yuan, and in recent years, it has mainly invested in some start-up companies. ”
"Mr. Ye, are we going to accept their investment?"
"It's hard to say, let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow night, by the way, tomorrow night, Liu Shuying, you go with me, what documents do you have for me to look at"
Because everyone still has classes in the afternoon, except for Cao Yang, who stayed in the company, the others also went to their own schools, and Ye Tian also told Cao Yang before leaving, and call him at any time if he has anything.
In the next day and a half of class, Ye Tian naturally didn't have the heart to listen, because this was the first time he received someone else's investment request, in this regard, he was also a novice, in addition to mastering all kinds of knowledge about investment, he also had to prepare a business plan and a feasibility analysis of the company's development model, after all, if you want to get other people's money, you have to be able to draw a good-looking pie, in short, Ye Tian was busy again.
At 8 p.m. the next day, Yenching Shengshi Huafu International Hotel
In the box of Chunfeng Pavilion, there were already 6 people sitting around the wide round table, in addition to Ye Tian and Liu Shuying, there were three other men in suits and a royal sister wearing black-framed glasses and a hip-wrapping skirt professional suit.
"Haha, it's really better to see than to hear, Mr. Ye deserves to be a young hero"
"Director Xiao is polite, these should all be your company's generals."
"Yes, this is Zhang Chao, director of the risk assessment team of our investment department, Liang Zhigang, the leader of the project team, and this beautiful woman, Bai Jie, deputy director of the group's audit committee."
After Xiao Guanhai's introduction, Ye Tian took Liu Shuying to shake hands with the three of them one by one, and after he was full of wine and food, the first financing negotiation in Ye Tian's life officially began.
"According to our evaluation and the business plan issued by your company, our preliminary valuation of your company is 60 million, our opinion is the initial investment of 2 million, reform the company's equity system, the founder is the largest shareholder, we are the second largest shareholder, we are stationed in the administrative working group and financial supervision team, guide the daily operation of Allure Entertainment Media, supervise the flow of funds of your company, in addition to the two parties need to sign a preferential investment contract, your company's future B round C round of financing need to be preferred by us, unless we do not choose to invest otherwise can not absorb external capital”
After listening to Xiao Guanhai's words, Ye Qian and Liu Shuying respectively finished reading the investment agreement of Fenghua Venture Capital, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw dissatisfaction and doubts in each other's eyes.
Fenghua Venture Capital is to slaughter itself and Allure Entertainment as rabbits, and the reform of the equity system has fundamentally shaken Ye Tilt's control over the company, as long as Fenghua increases its shareholding in the future, Allure Entertainment will no longer be surnamed Ye in minutes.
In addition, it is understandable that you should be stationed in the financial supervision team, but the dispatch of the administrative team to interfere in the company's daily operation and management decision-making is also a serious infringement on the management rights of Ye Tian and the founder team.
And they have to sign a preferential investment agreement, that is, if they dare to say no to Fenghua in the future, they can cut off their own capital chain at any time? And they can't find outside capital?
Fenghua doesn't want to invest, this is completely to use 2 million to buy his website, users and traffic directly, for such 2 million, he has to sign a deed of sale?
Ye Tian smiled and said: "Director Xiao, about the reform of the equity system, I think so, of course the equity should be divided, but the founder and the investor hold AB shares separately......"
In the next hour, the two sides were at loggerheads, with Ye Qian and Liu Shuying sticking to the bottom line of the founder's and his team's complete control over the company and the right to make business decisions, while Xiao Guanhai and Bai Jie insisted on the original equity restructuring plan and guided the company's operation.
"Mr. Ye, are you really not giving an inch?"
"I'm sorry, Director Xiao, it seems that we are still a little bit off fate, I'm afraid we can only miss it"
"Mr. Ye, you should see the reality clearly, how much money do you have in your hands now? I'm afraid it's less than 100,000, if the website doesn't have server expansion, it can only be stillborn, once you miss this outlet, do you think Penguin, Cool Nest, Cool Gou These music giants will let you take advantage of the opportunity again?"
No wonder, Fenghua's attitude is so tough and the plan is so domineering, it turns out that he has pinched his life and will die if he has no capital injection in the short term.
Survival or selling? This is the first test on Ye Tian's business road.
