Chapter 1328 - Take Yaho: Down
Looking at the reactions of David Ferro and Yang Yuan, Anthony Clark laughed secretly in his heart: If I had said this at the beginning, you wouldn't have been so excited, right?
That's for sure, if Anthony Clarke had said this condition from the beginning, Yang Yuan and David Ferro would have taken all this for granted, and then talk about the conditions...... It's not that it's impossible to talk about it, but isn't it laborious?
"Mr. Carrak, are you telling the truth?" asked David Ferro at once, "can that be included in the contract?"
"Of course," Anthony Clarke smiled, "of course it can be written into the contract...... Gentlemen, our data research company is not one of those investment companies and financial companies that want to make a handful of money, we are a high-tech company like you, the reason why our data research company invests in you is because the bosses are optimistic about you, optimistic about the future of Internet technology, you are doing a great thing, and what the data research company wants to do is to complement each other and grow together with you. ”
Is that the case?
The young, inexperienced David Ferro and Yang Yuan always felt that Anthony Clark was fooling themselves, but it was undeniable that the meaning of recognition in Anthony Clarke's words made the two of them very happy.
It was Yang Yuan, who reminded him of the existence of this additional clause, he gritted his teeth and put forward the condition he had just thought of: "Mr. Clark, we still have one condition." ”
"Oh?" Anthony Clarke nodded, "You say." ”
"We want a clause that we will never dilute our shares. ”
What the?
A backstock that never diluted?
As soon as Yang Yuan's request came out, David Ferro and Anthony Clarke were stunned.
David Ferro reacted a little faster, and after a moment of stunnedness, he was in ecstasy: yes, how did I forget this?
If you really agree to let the data research company take 70% of the Yaho shares, it means that the two of them will only have 30% of the shares, and the average person will only have 15% left, and according to the normal operation, from now to the listing, it will have to go through about three rounds of financing.
It's just that unlike other startups, after falling on the golden thigh of a data research company, the main purpose of Yaho's financing is not for money, but to attract some energetic capital to make Yaho's listing road smoother and brighter, but even so, at least 20% to 30% of the shares must be released, right?
In this way, after three rounds of financing, how much will the shares in the hands of myself and Jerry be diluted?
If there is such a clause of undiluted shares, even if it is completely guaranteed for the two poor students, even if they are kicked out of the company one day in the future, they can live very comfortably by relying on the shares in their hands.
At this moment, David Ferro was sincerely glad that he had met a good partner: Jerry was still smart and thought of this in advance!
Anthony Clark didn't expect Yang Yuan to put forward such a condition, and after being stunned for a moment, he shook his head hesitantly: "This can't be ......"
"This is one of the prerequisites for cooperation," Yang Yuan interrupted Anthony Clark without waiting for Anthony Clark to finish speaking, and said: "If you don't agree to this condition, it's a big deal that we won't cooperate, it's a big deal that we can go to Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity and other investment institutions, and no matter how bad it is, we can also go to companies like scape to cooperate."
It's really not good, with our Stanford top students, it's not that difficult to go out and find a high-paying job, and we won't go hungry because we lose this program, so this condition is endless...... Right, David?"
"Huh?" David Ferro was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Oh...... Yes, Mr. Clark, Jerry is right, this is a prerequisite for cooperation. ”
Originally, David Ferro was still a little hesitant, but just now Yang Yuan's words reminded him: That's right, we are Stanford's top students, even if the worst case scenario, Yaho's project failed, with his identity as a Stanford top student, he can find a good job, and after working for a few years, he may be able to get an annual salary of more than 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars, in this case, why not gamble, if you win, you will be a shareholder of a large Internet company with a market value of billions or even billions of dollars in the future- Can the company that can be valued by the richest man, Mr. Fernandez Chen, be bad? Since Mr. Fernandez Chen is so optimistic about our yaho, he might as well take a gamble.
Anthony Clark frowned.
This condition was a little unexpected to him, but he didn't dare to refuse rashly, just like these two boys said, they are Stanford's top students, even if this project fails, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal that they go out to find a job to go to work after graduation, with their status as Stanford's top students, With the recommendation of their mentors and the talent they have shown in the HAHO program, it is not difficult to find a high-paying job, which means that for the two talented students in front of them, they don't have to worry about the future.
But the situation is different for herself, Mrs. Dorocy specifically emphasized on the phone that **OSS attaches great importance to the Yaho project and must win it, but if the company creates such good favorable conditions for herself, she still fails......
Anthony Clarke shuddered in his heart: when the time comes, I'm afraid that his only way out is to be swept away by the company.
I certainly won't allow that to happen!
Also, under the premise that the company has created such favorable conditions, Anthony Clark has not been able to take this investment, and he has no other choice but to leave.
Taking a deep breath, Anthony Clark said, "I can't answer you right now, it's beyond my authority, but I can ask my boss for your request...... How many shares do you want that won't be diluted?"
Listening to Anthony Clark's words, David Ferro and Yang Yuan were really surprised and delighted.
Although the two of them are only students with little social experience and work experience, they also know that Anthony Clark is willing to consider this condition, which means that I am afraid that the data research company values Yaho far more than he imagined......
After the two whispered to each other, Yang Yuan said the conditions on behalf of the two: "5%, Mr. Clark, David and I each retain 5% of the shares that will not be diluted under any circumstances, and if you agree, we can cooperate." ”
