After Shen Jie and Yang Xiaoxian went to school, Qi Qing and Shen Hao were also ready to start business in the United States.

Both companies in the U.S. are in Silicon Valley, California. Not far from where Qi Qing lives. It's been a two-hour drive.

QINHAO SOFTWARE COMPANY IS NOT LARGE, ONLY A DOZEN PEOPLE, BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT IS FIVE, AND THE OTHER NINE ARE SOFTWARE PROGRAMMERS. Before leaving the United States last time, Shen Hao copied the image processing software on his computer to Hans, the director in charge of the company's software development.

According to Hans, according to the data package provided by Shen Hao, QINHAO Software has completed a new image processing soft year HAOSHOW with its own patent, the Chinese name 'Haoxiu'.

THIS NEW SOFTWARE IS BETTER THAN THE POPULAR PHTOSHOP, IT IS FASTER, HAS MORE FEATURES, AND CAN HANDLE A WIDER RANGE OF IMAGE FORMATS.

After the launch of the HAOSHOW software, several major computer companies came to talk about how to tie this software into their own systems. The negotiated price can be a one-time buyout or a payout per install.

MICROSOFT MICSOFT WAS ALSO ALARMED, AND WANTED TO RECEIVE HAOSHOW UNDER ITS OWN UMBRELLA, AND NEGOTIATIONS ARE UNDERWAY.

Shen Hao was not in a hurry to negotiate with Microsoft, although at this time, if his company was sold to Microsoft, he could get at least close to $30 million, and his investment was less than $5 million, and he made six times as much.

This time, Shen Hao handed over the audio processing software and video processing software in his computer to the company, and the product development should be completed within six months and launched in time. His plan is for Qinghao Software to go public before June 2011, which is experiencing a global Internet bubble. According to Shen Hao's estimates, the listing of his Qinghao software company can earn nearly 200 million US dollars. If he swaps some of his shares with Microsoft, he can get some of Microsoft's shares, and he is equivalent to raising two more chickens that lay golden eggs.

After dealing with the matter of Qinghao Software, Shen Hao and Qi Qing came to Haoxian (H&X) Venture Capital Company together. This company is Shen Hao's biggest wealth maker in the future.

With an understanding of the future development of science and technology, Shen Hao can grasp the projects contacted by H&X Venture Capital Company with an accuracy of 100%. This is the advantage of the traverser, even a super-level venture capital expert is not as good as Shen Hao.

For some professional projects, Shen Hao asked for translation into Chinese so that he could understand specific things. Li Man, an international student, is responsible for the translation of these project books, and for professional things, she is responsible for finding a professional organization to translate them, and she checks them herself.

Seeing Shen Hao and Qi Qing again, Li Man was very happy. Li Man has also been paying attention to Shen Hao's development in China, and she also knows that Shen Hao is now more famous in China.

Li Man handed several translated project books to Shen Hao: "Mr. Shen, according to your instructions, we pay special attention to the financing of domestic enterprises here. This time, two domestic companies applied to us for venture capital. ”

"Oh, there are two. Let me see. One is Baidu, and the other is Dongcheng Department Store. ”

"The people of these two families are still here these days, do you want to see them? ”

"Okay, let's see you. It's a pleasure to meet your compatriots in a foreign country. You can help me make an appointment with them. Baidu is tomorrow morning, and Dongcheng is tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Okay. I know. After Li Man said yes, he went out. Shen Hao and Qi Qing stayed in the boss's office and read the project book slowly.

"Ah Hao, this Baidu looks okay, but Dongcheng Department Store is a little vague, the entrepreneur himself is a little vague about the direction of the enterprise, and the proposed plan is not very operational. After reading the two domestic project books, Qi Qing expressed her opinion.

Qi Qing is not an ordinary housewife now, with her eyes, she can see the good and bad of these projects at a glance.

After Shen Hao read it, he agreed with Qi Qing's opinion. It is indeed Baidu's strong operability, and the profit point is also clear at a glance. The East Side Department Store, on the other hand, is not very sure of its own idea, but it is just a speculation that it is estimated that not many American venture capital companies will take a fancy to it.

The next morning, Shen Hao and Qi Qing were sitting in the boss's office, and Li Man brought in the two persons in charge of Baidu. It is a man and a woman, the man is Li Hongjian, the entrepreneur of Baidu, and the woman is his secretary-Liu Miao.

Li Hongjian and Liu Miao were surprised as soon as they came in, because sitting in the boss's office, they looked like two Chinese people, with yellow skin and black eyes, just like them. Moreover, Li Hongjian felt that the man seemed to be very familiar, and he should have seen it there, but he couldn't remember it.

"Welcome Mr. Lee, Ms. Liu. You may be seated. Shen Hao invited the two to sit down, and after Li Man brought coffee, he went out.

"In Xia Shen Hao, this is my assistant, Qi Qing. I'm the owner of this company. Shen Hao introduced himself.

Shen Hao, this name is also somewhat familiar.

Li Hongjian and Liu Miao were both thinking, who is this, why is the name and appearance a little familiar?

"I've written a few novels under the pseudonym Vast World, and you may have heard of them. Shen Hao saw that the two of them were thinking there, so he directly revealed his bottom.

"Ahh Li Hongjian and Liu Miao both exclaimed softly. It turned out to be him, no wonder.

"Teacher Shen, as soon as I came in, I felt as if I had seen you, but I just couldn't remember it, I'm really sorry. I really didn't know that you did this company. I also like the novels and movies that Mr. Shen wrote. I didn't expect to see you in the United States, but it was still on such an occasion, what a surprise. Li Hongjian regained his composure.

"Teacher Haohan, I'm your fan, when will your sixth book come out?" Liu Miao was still excited.

"Thank you, Ms. Liu, for liking my book, the sixth book should be released before New Year's Day. ”

After the four of them talked about a light-hearted topic again, they moved on to the project.

"Hongjian, we agree with your Baidu project and want to invest in it. Tell us about the current situation, how much stake we can take in the company, and how much money we have to invest?" Shen Hao asked very formally.

"Mr. Shen, thank you for agreeing to our project. We've approached three or four VC firms here in the U.S., and two are currently explicitly involved in the investment, and you're the third. This time, we need about 50 million US dollars, which can only account for 30% of our shares. The first two want to invest 10 million US dollars, and now there is only a gap of 30 million US dollars, if you invest these 30 million US dollars, you can only account for 18% of the company's shares, becoming the third largest shareholder of the company. I am the largest shareholder of the company, accounting for 40 percent, the second largest shareholder is my entrepreneurial companion, he accounts for 25 percent, and the other 5 percent is distributed to the company's old employees. Li Hongjian said in detail.

"The price was reasonable. However, I have a request, that is, when your first and second shareholders want to transfer out their shares, please give me the right of priority. Shen Hao made a request.

"Okay, that's a reasonable request, and I can give you a written promise. ”

"Okay, then your $30 million shortfall, we Haoxian Ventures will cover it. I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

Li Hongjian and Liu Miao are very happy, not only because the company has raised money, but because the vast world has become the third largest shareholder of the company, which shows that he is very optimistic about this project and makes them full of confidence in their own project.

At noon, it was Shen Hao and Qi Qing who invited Li Hongjian and Liu Miao to dinner.

During the meal, Shen Hao made another small request to the two: "Although the shareholder's name is written as (H&X) Venture Capital Company, I don't want anyone in China to know that this company is mine." You two are going to keep it a secret for me. ”

"Please rest assured Mr. Shen, we will definitely keep it confidential. Li Hongjian and Liu Miao replied in unison.

In the afternoon, Shen Hao and Qi Qing met with An Zhengxian, the project leader of Dongcheng Department Store, and his secretary Zhao Lu.

"Are you a teacher in the vast world?" Obviously, An Zhengxian recognized Shen Hao at a glance.

"Yes, I didn't expect Ann to recognize me at a glance. ”

"It's really Mr. Haohan, I'm not sure yet. I didn't expect to see you abroad. This company belongs to Mr. Shen?"

"Yes, it's my company. I saw your project book, and I saw that it was domestic, so I asked you to come and talk about it. Mr. An, your project must have hit a lot of walls in the United States, right?"

"Well, that's right. A lot of VC firms think we're not very operational, and the outlook is too vague. It's not that we wrote it on purpose, but the current prospects of the e-commerce industry are really unpredictable. We can't scribble and deceive people. People have to give real money, and we have to be responsible for others. Ahn Jae-hyun is very honest.

"Mr. An's attitude is exactly the attitude of doing business, and the vague prospect is not exactly the field of our venture capital? These venture capital companies in the United States just don't have much confidence in our country. I'm still very optimistic about your project. Tell us more about the amount of money you need and the current share structure. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your recognition. The project now wants to raise $40 million, which will account for 40% of the company's shares. In order not to have such a large stake in one company, we hope to split it into two or three VC firms. The company's current share structure is that I account for 3 into 5 percent, and another partner accounts for 2 percent, and I must grasp the position of the largest shareholder, so no venture capital company can account for more than 30 percent. ”

"I understand the situation. As things stand, it's a bit difficult to find more than two VCs. I give a suggestion, the 40 million, I have it, although I occupy the position of the largest shareholder, but I will promise in writing that I will not participate in the management of the company, only the right to make written suggestions. Do you think it's okay?"

"I still have to think about it again, and I have to discuss it with my partner, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?" Ahn Jae-hyun was still very steady, and he didn't agree immediately.

"No problem, but I want you to keep my situation and my company secret. ”

"We get it. ”

In the evening, Shen Hao also wanted to invite An Zaixian and Zhao Lu to dinner, but An Zaixian was very anxious about the project, so he refused, saying that if the cooperation was successful, they would have dinner together.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Ahn Zaixian appeared in Shen Hao's office again, and this time, he agreed to Shen Hao's suggestion to transfer all 40 percent of the shares to Haoxian Venture Capital Company. Shen Hao gave An Zaixian a written commitment that Haoxian Venture Capital Company would not participate in the management of Dongcheng Department Store, but at the same time gave a proposal for the development of e-commerce.

When Ahn saw this proposal, he knew that he had done the right thing this time, and that this proposal alone was worth five percent of the shares. Choosing Haoxian Company is the wisest choice for An Zaixian in his life.
