Chapter 1006 Alternative Investment Intentions
This old soup still feels more arrogant when he talks, or he looks down on his peers in the country. But he has something to say, and in a few words, he can clearly explain why the visual effects of "Jue Ji" are not good? Regardless of the script, Director Guo will not direct this kind of industrial film, and the order in which he shoots is wrong.
According to Lao Tang's words, this kind of extremely late-stage movie cannot be shot in the normal order of the film, and it cannot be drawn first and then shot and finally handed over to post-processing, which is impossible to process into the ideal effect. You must first deal with the post-production frame, then draw a storyboard after the post-production effect is set, and finally shoot, twisting the order, which is equivalent to making a mold first, and then filling the mold into the grout.
Chu Yuanxi was teased by the old Tang God for a while, and he didn't know if it was right, because he had never been in contact, but it sounded like it made sense.
Fortunately, he now knows Disney and DreamWorks, so it should be okay to inquire a little and verify.
And the other party's attitude towards the employee Chu Yuanxi prefers it, the reason why he accepts the merger and acquisition is because he is reluctant to lay off employees, many technical artists have been raised for many years, and the layoffs are too painful, Lao Tang's original words are: "Then the company will be incomplete." ”
However, in terms of loans, the S space is not in a priority position, and financing is not to be considered at this time, so realistically, you can consider being merged.
This team is very useful for Pakistani information and Pakistani media, especially for the film that is about to start planning. It's not that hardcore martial arts don't need post-processing, but there are a lot of places that need to be processed. Just like Huang Rong's best thing is stir-fried cabbage and steamed tofu, which is called back to basics, after all, it is not the seventies and eighties of the last century, it is also hardcore, it is impossible to shoot it as it was then, and it is impossible without special effects.
In addition, perhaps Yang Jiangang also has something to learn from.
It's just that Lao Tang's offer is relatively high, valuing himself at 100 million, and asking 80 million to sell 80% of the equity. According to his words, the original goal was to go public, or be acquired by listed companies, the company has entered a stage of rapid development, and should be able to become a leading company in the relevant fields in China within a year.
And if it weren't for the recent cold film and television and emergencies, S Space would have met the listing conditions in less than two years, and its profitability would not be bad. Therefore, now that the valuation of 100 million yuan has been lost, people still have to leave 20%, what if it is resold to listed companies in the future?
Chu Yuanxi doesn't know where to start throwing up, because, even if you become the head of the country, what is the use? What does it have to do with whether you can be listed or not? Your expectations are too optimistic, right?
In 2018, although the most representative "A Shura" wrote the script with his feet, he took more than 200 million yuan and threw it in the later stage, who is the one who invited? Of course, it is a famous company in Europe and the United States.
The team you formed after coming back from Hollywood doesn't even have a masterpiece, who thinks about it?
Chu Yuanxi didn't doubt the strength of the other party, because although there were no blockbusters as masterpieces, the strength of the later stage could be displayed through the works.
This is equivalent to whether a painter's painting is good or not, and there is no need for his paintings to be sold at a high price to prove it, and anyone with a certain level of appreciation can judge an approximate one. The painting is good but does not sell at a high price, in fact, it is more worth buying, because there is great potential for appreciation in the future.
However, this is an acquisition of a team, an acquisition of people, and an acquisition that is most easily hollowed out. The whole team withdrew after hollowing out the company, and then re-established a Lili Electronics to apply for an IPO again.
So the conditions must be discussed further, how much money is one thing, conditions are another. Chu Yuanxi came up with a plan to pay in installments, and the Ba people had the right to suspend the payment and break the contract at any time. The right to repudiate the contract, of course, is also one of the contents of the contract, and there is nothing wrong with it.
After completing the formalities of Shidong Culture, he began cloud recruitment, that is, online recruitment. This is a form similar to boss direct hiring, but boss direct hire is not suitable for ordinary recruitment, it is best that both parties have a certain understanding of each other, that is, the company has a certain reputation, and the candidate has a certain industry status is suitable, mainly because of high efficiency.
Today, Chu Yuanxi has four director-level management and two very rare virtual reality VR siege lions, one of which is Pu Mingyi, who left the Silicon Valley star startup Spatial and returned to China.
The main urban treasure of Xiaokang Milestone 6 is augmented reality AR, which has almost been developed now, and Chu Yuanxi is experiencing the effect is okay. However, online content is not only a treasure of the city, but also new content will be released in the future, of which VR is also the focus, allowing users to experience the content without leaving home.
VR siege lion is a scarce talent, can intercept this person, Gu Hongru of Haiyi Fund helped a lot again, especially Spatial, this company has to be impressive, can be 3D composition of 2D image in a very short time, whether it is a character or an environment, there are almost no visual companies in China that can benchmark with it.
Strictly speaking, the original technology of last week could be benchmarked, but it was dug up by Chu Yuanxi. Well-known domestic visual companies basically focus their firepower on algorithms and AI, and are good at beautifying and recognition, and spreading to security, and VR takes two routes.
Chu Yuanxi really didn't expect that there was such a small human resources expert hidden among the investors, if this Pu Mingyi had real talent and real learning, he would return to China and directly join the start-up team as CTO should be rich, his resume is very solid, he has R&D experience in other similar companies, and he is a senior architect in Spatial.
You must know that the senior architect has put aside the role of the deputy chief engineer in the factory, responsible for clarifying the details and technical implementation, and it is definitely impossible to fill the number indiscriminately. Xiaokang's VR project has not yet started development, but it is about to start, and this person has come at the right time.
Originally, this situation should have been greeted upside down, and it may not be enough to have a similar resume in another technical field, but VR talents are indeed too scarce, but people instead said that although they had Ms. Gu's recommendation, they still wanted to know about the well-off company. People in the store have seen it, and the APP has been downloaded and used, so it can be said that there is an apparent impression, so they are more concerned about the inside.
This recruitment, of course, should be called CTO Zhou Mingjun together, because Zhou Mingjun's business is VR, and he jumped from last week's technology. But Chu Yuanxi frowned, thinking of the thing he almost rejected Cao Xiang back then, Zhou Mingjun is in charge of several teams by himself, and it is not easy to work hard, but don't make a fuss because of this kind of thing.
So Chu Yuanxi didn't call any technical people at all, because they were very busy!
The other four management positions are all marketing and operation positions without exception, because in the second half of the year, Xiaokang will definitely need to start appointing managers from other regions, so now we have to replenish talents in advance, and then see who is more suitable. Luo Rong, who is currently in charge of bicycle control, is in pole position.
As a result, there were no major problems in the interviews for the four management positions, Chu Yuanxi himself was a first-class operation, and it was not too easy to meet several markets and operations in person. Another small-character VR siege lion itself was recommended by Zhou Mingjun, and there are no technical problems. However, Pu Mingyi was dissatisfied with the position that Chu Yuanxi proposed for him: "I will be a team leader, which is equivalent to a project manager?"
Chu Yuanxi forgot the last time the applicant spoke so straight, and said in his heart that you are a work style cultivated in the United States?
In the video, he scratched his head embarrassedly: "There are very few levels of well-off, and on the side of the R&D line, the project manager is the CTO." In the future, we can set up some organizational structures such as research institutes and appoint deans, but I definitely don't have the heart to do those things now. ”
The other side didn't speak for a long time, Chu Yuanxi felt that he might be thinking about how the well-off CTO was like a person, whether he was better than himself, or something? The question is who is more awesome has no effect, and it is definitely not because he is not good enough.
Pu Mingyi is also in his thirties, a slightly chubby man, and he should be sensible when he looks white and clean, even if he develops good work habits in the United States, he should always understand the minimum office culture, right?
It's normal for the CTO to be inferior to the people who join the company later, just as the first coders of a startup usually write worse code with better options, and the existence of this phenomenon shows that the company is getting better and better.
Meritocracy can be reflected in the value of options, but the CTO must not be easily replaced, this position is still somewhat special, affecting the stability of the company, if you want to change must have a reason. This is the reason why some startups are torn apart internally, and the CTO and CEO tear each other to death, and finally each bear a part of the unlimited joint and several liability, and the title of CTO has not changed.
Especially when Zhou Mingjun works diligently and has no fault, even if it is Cao Xiang who is interviewing at this time, and at the same time, the well-off CSO has been occupied by others, and there is no suitable position, Chu Yuanxi cannot replace Zhou Mingjun, let alone someone who is not as good as Cao Xiang. Anyway, if you compare your resume, Cao Xiang will definitely kill Pu Mingyi in seconds, and the paper sent by Cao Xiang Pu Mingyi should not have a chance to be sent in this life.
When Chu Yuanxi was thinking, the other side seemed to have completed his psychological preparations, and looked up and said: "I appreciate the OKR system you just accepted, but the position can't meet my expectations, I'm still very cautious about my career planning, and I can't start as a project manager when I return to China, so it's better to continue to stay in the Bay Area." ”
Chu Yuanxi nodded very affirmatively after hearing this, because this situation is indeed common. At this time, the most suitable for Pu Mingyi is actually to follow the example of many entrepreneurs who are in the front, and technical people like him come forward, personally pull up the team, and then start a business from scratch. In this way, his value can be maximized, not at this moment, but in the process of entrepreneurship.
And Chu Yuanxi is really optimistic about him realizing his value. The domestic VR industry is really a little stronger than the desert, and the gap with the international leading enterprises is still quite large. But it can be chased, the difference is the number of talents and the number of excellent enterprises in the entire industry, or the difference is the atmosphere and soil, not that there is any gap in technology.
In this case, it is equivalent to the domestic smartphone industry in 2009, with the goal of being a solution integrator, and there is no gap in technology. What's missing? There's a Rebus missing.
Rebus himself is a god-level code farmer, and even if he can't technically do it, at least he can find someone, which should be enough. Then there is the ability to assemble the disk, with Rebus's coffee position and connections, the composition is also a small case, so Xiaomi came out without much effort.
Now Pu Mingyi definitely doesn't have the ability to assemble Rebus, and even technically it is estimated that it can't compare to Rebus, but it's good to be enough.
Therefore, Chu Yuanxi went through the logic with a super-fast brain circuit. Objectively, even an opportunity like Xiaomi is not a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, similar track conditions, similar entrepreneur capabilities, although rare, but there have been in the past, and there will be in the future. It's just that even if a similar opportunity appears, Chu Yuanxi knows that he may not be able to grasp it, because most of them are fleeting.
Take Pu Mingyi as an example, now he has found an opportunity, so it is difficult for others to seize this opportunity. After a small circle of communication with him, he should come to a conclusion within a week, either he votes for the angel round alone, or he votes together in a game, and that's it.
So if you can catch it, you still have to grasp it, as long as you make sure that it is an opportunity. Of course, Pu Mingyi can't compare with Rebus, and technically he definitely doesn't have Rebus's coffee position among domestic code farmers, let alone management, but he is a person with technology and strong entrepreneurship, which is enough.
Therefore, Chu Yuanxi asked very unexpectedly: "Actually, what you want most is to start a business, right? But you have the ability to have no resume, and you don't have any connections, so you want to mix in the circle, right?" Let's be sincere, don't consider whether you are well-off or not, just consider your personal career development, right?"
The straightforwardness of this question is even more straightforward than Pu Mingyi just now, and in the current context, there are actually two ways to understand it, and they are very different.
However, Pu Mingyi is really a straight thinker, and after listening to it, he didn't fight: "Yes, I know Gu Hongru, and she still refuses to marry me." ”
Chu Yuanxi almost squirted out a mouthful of water, does this have anything to do with whether she marries you or not? But he really got the other party's mode of thinking, and said in his heart that it was for investment? Are you a scumbag equating financing with feelings? But even if you take Gu Hongru**, she shouldn't invest in you like not! People are quite professional investors.
Taking a breath, Chu Yuanxi said: "This thing is difficult to say and difficult to do, mainly because I don't know if your personality is suitable for entrepreneurship." If you want to say that it is easy to do, it is easy to do, can't I help you form a plate? ”
This investment is very risky, because even if the ability is sufficient, the personality of the founder has a great impact on the business. It doesn't matter if Pu Mingyi is the co-founder, for example, what is Zhu Yan's personality and Jiaotu's personality, in the final analysis, it does not have much impact on the Ba people. But if he wants to be a founder and a boss, it will be more troublesome if his personality is not suitable for entrepreneurship.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why he can't pull down the investment from Gu Hongru, people know him, so they don't dare to press him. Of course, there is also the possibility that there is really no money, which is also the main difficulty of various investment institutions during this time period.
But Chu Yuanxi dares, not bolder than Gu Hongru, but richer than Gu Hongru...... The scale of Haiyi's parent fund is not as much as the cash in the hands of the Ba people.
This is an investment in a scenario similar to Xiaomi's 2009, which may be much worse than a smartphone, but the competition is not so fierce, and the conclusion of a comprehensive evaluation of the environment, market and people is similar. What's more, it's only easier than the technical difficulty, maybe the mobile phone.
Xiaomi can go public and get a market value of 300 billion, which is also excellent if divided by ten.
So the question is, in 2009, if Rebus only has the ability but does not have the coffee position and connections at that time, how will investors choose?
Investors can't jump up happily? It is precisely because Rebus has coffee positions and connections that he does not need investors to intervene too early, and people can find money and people by themselves. If not, isn't that the stage for investors to perform?
Moreover, VR startups can't use mobile phones for as much money, and the angel round and A round probably need no more than 150 million in total, and Chu Yuanxi calculated a series of price codes at a very fast speed.
I saw Pu Mingyi looking confused across the screen, "You voted for me, why did you vote for me?"
"Make money, I'll vote for you, you did it, I can't make a fortune?" Chu Yuan Xixin said that this also has to be asked, I don't think you are optimistic about you, I don't think you can do it, who would bet on you?
"But you want my shares. ”
"Nonsense, I don't want interest from you yet. Chu Yuanxi roared past 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart, and finally understood why the other party emphasized that Gu Hongru refused to marry him, it turned out to be really important, what people want is not affection, but marriage!
I saw Pu Mingyi start to scratch his head, "Yes, yes, I just lack an interest-free loan." ”
"Then I really have to mourn for the VR industry of the country, just one interest-free loan, a star start-up company is stillborn!"
"Hahahaha, you're so right! Looks like I'm going to have to give up something. ”
"No, no, no, you give up less and get more, what you lack is not an interest-free loan, but brains. Chu Yuanxi understood Pu Mingyi's characteristics better, and he couldn't help but speak directly: "You are a retarded person in the eyes of normal people, do you understand? You can use the genius theory to affirm yourself, but normal people can't cooperate with you, you can't even find a two-legged person like you looking for a companion to start a business with you." ”
"Yes, that's a real problem. So, I lack the ability to assemble more than money?"
"Yes, yes, I can help you group the plate, but it's better to let Gu Hongru help you group, her path is quite wild, maybe you can find someone who can help you." I'll pay for it. ”
