Chapter 411: The Way of a Gentleman
Li Mu has always felt that the direction of life is a very delicate thing, and a little influence from the outside world may change a person's established course, especially after being reborn, he has this kind of experience. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
So far, the topic of assuming the direction of life is a false proposition for others, but it is true for Li Mu, such as Liu Qidong, if Li Mu does not appear, he will definitely follow the established route of the previous life: Zhongguancun entrepreneurship, SARS attempt e-commerce, the establishment of JD.com, girlfriend breakup, the rise of JD.com, marrying a post-90s Internet celebrity, and becoming a winner in life.
But Li Mu just appeared in his life in 2002, like a bright beacon on the road of life, even if Li Mu did not summon him, he will make a different decision from his previous life because of Li Mu's dazzling, the last time we chatted, Liu Qidong revealed his intention to test the Internet, which was a decision made imperceptibly after seeing the light that Li Mu had bloomed in his college brother.
If he gets started with the Internet in advance, Bacheng will not have the idea of doing B2C e-commerce because of SARS, maybe he will test other Internet projects, in short, no matter whether Li Mu has established contact with him or not, his life path has been influenced by Li Mu and changed from his previous life.
As for whether this change is good or bad for him, Li Mu is not sure, and he doesn't need to be sure, now that he has captured Liu Qidong's entrepreneurial heart, then in this life, he is his partner.
The only regret is that Jinling's future little Internet celebrity, who is only nine years old this year, may have missed Senior Brother Liu's train early.
Li Mu thinks this is a good thing, if there are fewer stories of little girls marrying rich men of their father's age in this society, they can also give more confidence to young people in the future, or leave the future girls to the young men in the future to conquer.
Li Mu himself sat in the hotel box, waiting for the arrival of the pair of lovers, Senior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Gong, who were more than ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, and as soon as they entered the door, they could see that the two were intimate and full of spring, so unhappy.
Li Mu looked at the two of them and teased: "Senior brother, senior sister, why are you so happy?"
Senior Brother Liu laughed and said, "After waiting for so long and finally waiting for your call, can I not be happy?"
Gong Xiaojing also chimed in: "Yes, the store will be transferred out after the East Year, and I will wait for your call during this time." ”
Li Mu hurriedly invited the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "What kind of summoning is it, I have great trust in Senior Brother Liu's ability, so I just want to do something with Senior Brother Liu, I have been busy some time ago, so I didn't take the time to have a good chat with Senior Brother Liu, today I take this opportunity, let's talk about things and talk thoroughly, if everyone thinks it's okay, we can start it." ”
Liu Qidong said excitedly: "I have been prepared for a long time, you can decide how to cooperate." ”
Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's order food first, let's talk while eating." ”
After ordering, Li Mu and Liu Qidong replaced the wine with tea, chatting while drinking, Li Mu did not hide anything, and said very frankly: "I am too busy with the things at hand now, Makino Technology is testing a heavyweight product internally, and the game company has also begun internal testing of a game from South Korea, in addition to these, there are some miscellaneous things in private, now let me do a little more thing, maybe I can still find time to deal with it, but if it is to let me open a new field, my personal energy has no time to deal with it." ”
"I am very optimistic about the field of e-commerce, and I also prefer to start with C2C, I have talked to my brother about Taobao's product planning before, plus I already have Alipay in hand, and Makino Technology has such a strong user base, from users to payment links can be said to be opened, basically with the core points of e-commerce, so, I want to set up a new company, specializing in e-commerce. ”
"The normal operation of the new company, you will be responsible for the development strategy, I will determine the technology development, you will determine the operation and development, according to what I said last time, the two of us jointly contributed, I contributed 90%, you accounted for 10%, and the share distribution was: I accounted for 80%, you accounted for 20%, and your 20% share proportion will be directly reflected in the capital contribution information of the industrial and commercial system when the company is registered. ”
As soon as Li Mu's words came out, Senior Brother Liu and his girlfriend Gong Xiaojing were stunned.
At first, the two were worried that Li Mu might not be willing to directly give 10% of the promise directly to Liu Qidong, but they didn't expect Li Mu to take the initiative to give a reply that the two of them were most looking forward to.
The additional 10% is directly reflected in the industrial and commercial registration, which is the most direct and authoritative way of equity recognition.
Li Mu continued: "I'm a person, I prefer like-minded friends, although I don't see Brother Liu much, but I can talk very well, so I don't hide the matter of shares, but since we want to take out real money to do things, some things still have to be communicated clearly first, so I have a little requirement for shares." ”
Senior Brother Liu hurriedly said, "If you have any requirements, just say it." ”
Li Mu nodded, and said seriously: "First of all, the non-compete restriction, I don't need to say this, any industry will have this restriction on senior leaders, after we cooperate, you and I are not allowed to engage in and invest in companies and individuals in related industries outside the company." ”
Senior Brother Liu nodded without hesitation: "This is natural." ”
Li Mu said: "The second is the cash-out limit, before the capital does not come in, you and I are the original shareholder, after the capital comes in, you and I must be consistent in the grand strategy, not prematurely cash-out." ”
Li Mu has no doubt about Senior Brother Liu's vision, once he sees the company's development prospects, he should not make such a thing as cashing out in advance, but it still has to be made clear, most of the capital is not goodwill, they come with money and knives and guns, Li Mu must ensure that Senior Brother Liu, the original shareholder, and himself are always in the united front, and the requirement to limit cashing out is ugly, and ugly words are to be said in front.
Senior Brother Liu nodded without hesitation: "You can set the rules for cashing out, I don't have any opinion on this." ”
Li Mu said: "At present, it is tentatively cashed out after the C round, but the C round cashing out shall not exceed 20% of the individual shareholding ratio. ”
“ok!”
Li Mu also said: "Once our business starts, the non-compete restriction has always been there, if there are people who quit because of disagreement or different ideas, as long as the exiter is not engaged in the same industry, the shares have always been decided by the individual, if engaged in the same industry, the shares must be liquidated immediately, and the company will repurchase at the valuation of the latest round of financing." ”
Senior Brother Liu thought about it for a while, and then agreed, this requirement is not harsh, everything is still around the core of the competition, and the industry's requirements for competition are far more stringent than Li Mu's requirements, most of the company's shareholders once violate the non-compete restrictions, some are forced to give up shares, forced shrinkage, and some are forced to repurchase according to the registered capital, although these are very pitted, but they are written into the contract in advance, and when the time comes, once the shareholders violate, these are also fully supported by the law.
According to the registered capital repurchase is very common, but also a very pit constraint, even if the company is worth billion, but if the registered capital is only 10 million, 20% of the shares only need 2 million, in contrast, Li Mu said, according to the latest round of financing valuation to repurchase, is already very, very kind.
Li Mu's idea is also very simple, although he is now more successful than Liu Qidong, but he still has some respect for him in his heart, he is a bull in the Internet field in his previous life, and he can cooperate with him is also the fate after rebirth, so if the cooperation fails to go on in the end, Li Mu also hopes that everyone can part ways peacefully, instead of tearing their faces.
"That's all I want to say, the points I just said, if Senior Brother Liu doesn't have any opinions, they will be clearly reflected in our contract at that time. ”
After Li Mu's several requests, Senior Brother Liu and Gong Xiaojing have a lot of good impression of Li Mu in their hearts, it is rare to have this kind of master partner who really spreads everything out and talks, and there are even fewer people who are willing to write all the negotiated terms into the contract, many entrepreneurial veterans initially just got the boss's painting cake, before the world, the boss is more generous than anyone else, and he can't wait to promise the world that has not yet arrived to his subordinates, but once the world is defeated, it is the bird is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked.
Some people follow the rise of start-ups and become tens of millionaires and billionaires, but more people are embarrassed after the success of start-ups, Li Mu does not dare to guarantee, but at least he will not let his employees and partners feel cold, not only because he is willing to share profits, but also because he firmly believes in the importance of the team, money can be made less, but not lost people's hearts.
Although Li Mu is much younger than Senior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Gong, he showed his gentlemanly way in business in front of the two, and all the demands in Senior Brother Liu's heart were basically satisfied, and he couldn't hide his excitement, and asked Li Mu: "When exactly will we start doing it?"
Li Mu said: "Now you can start to register the company, the company's technical aspects can be temporarily handed over to the development team of Makino Technology, but we still have to rent an office building and build an operation team, so we will register the company with a scale of 10 million in the near future." ”
Senior Brother Liu asked: "Is 10 million a registered capital, or is it an actual contribution?"
Li Mu said: "It is the actual capital contribution, and the registered capital has a time limit requirement, so it is enough to go according to 5 million, and we actually contribute 10 million yuan for the first phase of the company's operation." ”
After speaking, Li Mu asked Senior Brother Liu: "Senior Brother, will one million be too stressful?"
Liu Qidong said with a smile: "There is no problem, the store is still transferred out and a lot of funds are recovered." ”
Li Mu nodded: "Then OK, this is the company registration level, let's talk about the specific development of the business." (To be continued.) )
