Chapter 352: Strengthened by a Tiger
Chapter 352 is like a tiger with wings
In the afternoon, Hu Yang received a call from Yang Chenglin, saying that he wanted to meet and talk.
Hu Yang was still in the café of the hotel and met Yang Chenglin.
"Mr. Hu, since I went back last time, I talked to the two co-founders. I won't go into the details, but now we have put forward the latest conditions, the three of us, hoping to retain 20% of the shares and have a seat on the company's future board of directors. ”
Yang Chenglin and the three of them did not agree on the same opinion, and this condition was the result of mutual compromise between them.
"Director Yang, other conditions are easy to say, but the matter of shares is not negotiable. In this way, I can leave you with 5% of the shares, and the other two founders, 2.5% each. ”
Hu Yang refused the other party's offer to retain 20% of the shares, and would not give them a seat on the board of directors, preferring to pay more in cash.
"Mr. Hu, the conditions you gave are far from our expectations. If I had only given us this stake, I don't think my partner would have agreed. ”
Yang Chenglin gritted his teeth and wanted to work harder. He was quite satisfied with the conditions that Hu Yang offered him, but the other two co-founders only had 2.5% of the shares each, and it was difficult for him to explain after he returned.
"Dr. Yang, you know Reper's situation better than I do. I might as well open the skylight and say something bright, how long can you last if you can't get investment? three months, half a year? I'm actually just interested in you as a person, not in your company. ”
Hu Yang's words are half-true, but they also explain very well why the equity given to the three co-founders is inconsistent.
Yang Chenglin smiled bitterly, and also understood that Hu Yang was right, and it was difficult for the company to hold on for more than half a year.
"Anyway, thank you Mr. Hu for your attention, I'll try my best to convince the two of them. As for the purchase price, I would like you to make the offer. ”
Yang Chenglin didn't say the offer in his heart, he had already made a condition in terms of equity, so it was best to let the other party come to the offer.
"On the question of the quote, I think we will come up with a price that everyone is satisfied with. Dr. Yang, I won't hide it from you, if I can successfully acquire Ripper, my performance will be guaranteed. I'll talk about the specific situation later, I'll just give you the bottom first. ”
Yang Chenglin is not clear about Hu Yang's shareholding in China, but he can guess somewhat. Therefore, when Hu Yang said this, he hit his soft underbelly.
When he started his business as a Ruipo company, Yang Chenglin was also full of ambition. But the reality is very cruel, with the technical strength and market competitiveness of Ruipo, it is really not an ordinary difficulty to develop and grow.
Yang Chenglin is very tempted, but the company is not his alone, he must discuss with his partners.
Subsequently, he did not stay long, and after coming out of the hotel, he drove back to the company.
The company was start-up, and the conditions in all aspects were not very good, and the office location was selected in a relatively remote and dilapidated office building.
When Yang Chenglin and the two co-founders finished talking about today's talks, the two were very unhappy.
"Yang, is the Mr. Hu you mentioned looking down on us? I don't care that you have more shares than mine, but that he hurts people by doing this. ”
"Hey, it's good that someone can leave us some shares. According to our current situation, if we continue to drag on, we are afraid that we will not be able to sell it for even a dollar. By the way, Yang, what is the purchase price offered by the other party?"
The situation is stronger than people, even if the two co-founders are not convinced, they will have to complain a few words, and in the end they still do not have the courage to refuse Hu Yang's acquisition.
"The purchase price has not yet been opened by the other party, if you do not object to the equity arrangement, I can ask Mr. Hu to make an offer now. ”
Yang Chenglin sighed, the acquisition by the other party is basically a foregone conclusion. The only thing that can still be fought for is the purchase price.
"Yang, forget it today, if we are too positive, people may take the opportunity to lower the price. ”
Several people sat in the office and suffered from gains and losses, and finally decided to let Yang Chenglin talk about it tomorrow.
Hu Yang was much more relaxed, and after Yang Chenglin left the hotel, he knew that the acquisition of Ripper should be successful.
The next day, Yang Chenglin called in the morning and made an appointment with Hu Yang to meet.
"Dr. Yang, let's go to your company today to talk, I'll leave in an hour. ”
Today, when I go to Ruipo, Populus euphratica is more formal. He not only brought Shao Qing and Lin Yan, but also specially called Director Yu of the research institute.
Because Ruipo Company was founded not long ago, and there was no too amazing core technology, Hu Yang considered directly acquiring it in the name of Charm Technology Chip Design Company.
"Mr. Hu, I also brought two people with strong technical ability from the institute, if it involves specific technical issues, the three of us can give clear opinions on the spot. ”
Director Yu was very well prepared, and he even took this issue into consideration.
Hu Yang smiled and nodded, this was a silent compliment, he felt that Director Yu's ability was much stronger than he thought.
When they arrived at Ruipo, Yang Chenglin and the other three co-founders had been waiting downstairs for about 20 minutes.
"Mr. Hu, everyone, welcome to Ruipo. ”
Yang Chenglin introduced Hu Yang to his partner, and then the two people made a brief introduction to each other and went upstairs together.
"Yang, there are a lot of people here today, let's just go straight to the conference room. ”
On the side of Ruipo Company, I didn't expect that so many people would come to the poplar club. Originally, they prepared a small reception room for Yang Chenglin to talk to each other alone.
Yang Chenglin nodded and led everyone to the conference room.
"Dr. Yang, ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to formally submit an offer to you on behalf of Charisma Technology Chip Design Company...... We will invest $2.1 million to acquire a 90% stake in Ripper. ”
As soon as Hu Yang sat down, he went straight to the point and gave a clear purchase price.
Here, Hu Yang also said in particular that Yang Chenglin will be left with 5% of the shares, and the two other co-founders will each have 2.5% of the shares.
Of course, from the moment the contract is signed, all the assets of Ruipo Company (including but not limited to various technologies, patents, brands and other assets) belong to Charm Technology Chip Design Company.
After Hu Yang finished speaking, Yang Chenglin and the others did not come to their senses for a long time.
This bid greatly exceeded their expectations. When the company was founded, the three of them invested a total of $500,000, and now the company has less than $200,000 left on its books.
Previously, they discussed that if the other party's bid was higher than $1 million, they would agree to be acquired.
"Of course, I also have some small requests. Dr. Yang and the two co-founders had to commit to serving the new company for a certain number of years. Among them, Dr. Yang must have worked in the company for at least 7 years, and the other two must have worked with the company for at least 5 years before they can resign. After resignation, the non-compete period is one year. As for the remuneration package in your new company, you can rest assured. ”
The reason why Populus euphratica raised the purchase price was because of this condition.
Yang Chenglin and the two partners whispered a few words and agreed very happily. Just kidding, this Ruipo company, which looks like it will go bankrupt, can sell it at such a price, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
In fact, it doesn't matter what the job requirements are, these three people are all from technical backgrounds, as long as the salary is appropriate, where do things differently?
The failure of this entrepreneurship was a blow to all three of them. It will take a long time to regain confidence.
"Mr. Hu, my partner and I are honored to be under your banner. I would like to make a statement here that the three of us will do our best to serve the company in the future. ”
The two sides reached an agreement, and Yang Chenglin and others quickly changed their mentality and began to regard Hu Yang as their boss.
In the afternoon, witnessed by the lawyers of both parties, Charm Technology Chip Design Company and Ripper Company signed an acquisition agreement.
The purchase proceeds will be received within 72 hours, and the company's registered capital will be changed to $10 million upon completion of the acquisition.
"Director Yu, I think that in the future, Ruipo Company will absorb and merge your research institute in the form of acquisition. I would recommend that you be the CEO of Ripper, and Dr. Yang would be your deputy. ”
Saying that it is a suggestion is actually equivalent to a decision. Hu Yang only needed to say a word to Yan Hanzhang afterwards.
Yesterday, Hu Yang had already called Yan Hanzhang, and Yan Hanzhang would fly to the United States in the next two days to deal with various matters related to the acquisition of Ruipo.
Director Yu and others were left, and Hu Yang took Lin Yan and Shao Qing and left Ruipo Company.
"Mr. Hu, congratulations on your successful acquisition of Ruipo, our chip design company is definitely like a tiger with wings. So where are we going next?"
Lin Yan didn't expect that Hu Yang's acquisition of Ruipo would be so smooth. So there is a fault line in her itinerary here.
Hu Yang came to the United States this time, on the one hand, to inspect Huijia Venture Capital and other companies, and on the other hand, mainly to acquire Ripper.
Now, these two goals have been achieved, so Lin Yan asked.
"It's all done, of course we're going back. It's rare that you still want to stay here and smell the sweet air of the United States?"
Hu Yang was in a good mood and casually told Lin Yan a joke.
It's a pity that Lin Yan didn't know about this terrier, she also took a serious breath and said, "I didn't find any sweet smell in the air, boss, you must be fooling me." ”
"Hehe, if you say no, you won't have it, Assistant Lin, go arrange the route, let's go back to the deep sea." The rest of the things here, Mr. Yan will come over and deal with them. ”
It is impossible for Hu Yang to participate in specific affairs, and since the agreement has been signed, he can naturally return to China.
Two days later, Yan Hanzhang arrived in San Francisco. At the same time, Populus euphratica returned to the deep sea,
"Brother Hu, you went to the United States this time, but it was very fast. Why don't you play there for a few more days?"
Chen Jialin hadn't seen Populus Hu for a long time, so he specially arranged a dinner on this day and called Liu Jia and Tian Sichun together.
"The last time I went to the United States, I went to see a lot of places, but this time I didn't bother to go around. Chen Shao, how is the stubborn stone technology doing lately?"
With Chen Jialin here, Hu Yang rarely asks about the matter of Stubborn Stone Technology, so I asked by the way today.
"The orders of Stubborn Stone Technology are still full. Thanks to the construction of the second production base, otherwise production would definitely be affected. ”
At present, the PHS of the company's OEM is basically stable, but the mobile phone OEM is showing a momentum of increasing month by month. Coupled with some other consumer electronics, Stubborn Stone Technology does not worry about orders at all.
Then, Hu Yang asked Tian Sichun and Liu Jia about their studies at Shenhai University, and both of them said that they were very good.
Tian Sichun likes foreign languages, so he chose to major in English. Liu Jia, on the other hand, chose to major in business management.
Liu Jia's café and Tian Sichun's dessert house are still in operation, and they have hired managers to avoid being busy at both ends.
"Ah Yang, this semester's study tasks are very heavy, and I don't dare to miss classes casually. When it's winter vacation, you can take us to see the snow, okay?"
Tian Sichun wanted to go to Xijiang, and Liu Jia and Chen Jialin also wanted to go, so several people made an appointment to go skiing in Xijiang after the winter vacation.
"Okay, if we have time for us, let's go play together for a few days. ”
Hu Yang smiled, he just wanted to go back.
After eating, the four of them found another place to sing, and played until twelve o'clock at night.
"Ah Yang, my parents have been here for the past two days, so I have to go back in the evening. They'll be gone on the weekend, and we'll meet again then, okay?"
Tian Sichun was a little embarrassed, her parents came to the deep sea from other places, and she didn't want to let Populus Hu go over at night, and she didn't want to go home all night.
"It's okay, little thing. Then I'll send you downstairs, and you can go upstairs by yourself. ”
Hu Yang didn't take it seriously, sent Tian Sichun downstairs, and left.
Tian Sichun came to the door of the house, opened the door and walked in, only to see her parents sitting in the living room, obviously waiting for her.
"Sichun, we need to have a good talk with you......"
The father's expression was a little serious, and his tone was a little unkind.
Tian Sichun sighed secretly, and said in his heart, here again, every day is like interrogating a prisoner. Are you tired?
But it seems that it will probably be difficult to fool them this time. If they can't see their "boyfriend", they may be worried in their hearts.
But the question is, will he think more about letting Hu Yang meet his parents? Will he agree? He must not think that this is his own forced marriage.
After class the next day, Tian Sichun was helpless and made a phone call to Hu Yang.
"Chunchun, what's the matter with you, right? Look at you've been expecting Ai Ai for a long time, just say what you want, I'll listen. ”
Hu Yang doesn't think this is like Tian Sichun's character, this happy and simple little girl, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll encounter something difficult, right?
"Well, that, you know my parents are here. They don't know where to find out that I've been dating a man, so ...... They offered to meet my boyfriend. ”
It's normal to have a boyfriend, but if you're afraid of meeting people, it's a big problem.
As soon as Tian Sichun said it, Hu Yang understood, and Xiao Chunchun's parents were afraid that they had heard some gossip.
