Chapter 576: Take it one step at a time
There is only one telephone in this small office, and this phone has only one function: the market.
Due to the current high telephone bills and the company's poor efficiency, the company has a rule: all employees are not allowed to use the company phone to chat about private matters, let alone make phone porridge for family and friends, and the employee's family and friends do not know the company's phone number.
This regulation sounds a little unkind, but several people in the company are friends and classmates who have a good relationship in private, and they are all young people who have received a university education, and their ideas are more cutting-edge, that is, they can understand the current situation of the company, and they also think that the public and private should be separated, so don't look at the company, this rule is implemented well.
So when this phone rings, it must be a business matter.
And most of the company's business is external business, Da Zeng picked up the phone casually.
"Oh, okay, you wait a minute. ”
After listening to a few words, Da Zeng suddenly covered the microphone and said, "Come to business, do you want to do it?"
"Huh?" Lao Ma and Zhidong both looked at him with very strange eyes, and asked him, the company is short of money, and there is business, why not do it?
"No, the other party told us to put money. Dazeng said.
"Invest money?" Lao Ma and Zhidong are still the first time they have encountered this kind of thing, and they are a little blindsided, what is it called throwing money? Send money to the company?
"You ask first. Zhidong pointed to the microphone.
Da Zeng nodded hurriedly, and then under the strange gaze of several people in the office, he chatted with the person on the other end of the phone again, and while talking, he also took a pen and recorded some content.
It took about 20 minutes for the call to end.
"What the hell is going on?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Nowadays, the concept of venture capital is extremely rare even in the coastal special zone, and the Chinese do not know that there is such a way of operation, but everyone can hear the word 'investment money' just now.
Money, everyone loves it, not to mention that the company has not made money at present.
"It was a mainland company that we used to promote online paging, saying that it was investing 500,000 yuan in us. Dazeng said.
"And what is he going to buy?" asked the old horse.
Da Zeng looked puzzled and said: "It's strange that it's strange here, he doesn't want to buy anything, and he doesn't care what we do, he says that no matter what we do, he will give us the 500,000." ”
"Oh, can't it, there's such a thing?"
The first reaction of several young people in the office was that Dazeng had misunderstood.
Where in the world is there such a good person?
However, Da Zeng is the most experienced in running the market and business among them, and he has the most dealings with customers, so it can be said that his expression and understanding skills are very strong, and he is unlikely to make this kind of mistake.
"Eighty percent are liars, there are too many liars these days, and if you don't pay attention, you will catch the road, and if you are sold, you can help others count the money, where is there a good thing about pie in the sky?!" Zhidong said.
"He didn't ask for it. Da Zeng said: "He said that he wanted 40% of the shares of our company, saying that he saw the future development of our company and made an investment." ”
This reason is more acceptable, but there are new questions, the company's current situation, even Xiao Ma Zhidong and their founders are not optimistic, how can a mainland company know Tengxun Company, how can it be optimistic?
"Isn't that right? Now the company's business is wireless paging, if he is optimistic about the company's business, why wouldn't he buy this project?" Zhidong asked.
"It's kind of weird. Da Zeng glanced at Lao Ma and said, "Besides, if he takes away so many shares, what are we? Isn't he the boss, and we will work for him? Then why do we still want to open this company, just go to other big companies to find a job." ”
This is not entirely reasonable, but it does speak the hearts of several people present.
The company is not big, but everyone present is a shareholder.
At the beginning of Tengxun's establishment, the start-up capital happened to be 500,000 yuan, the largest shareholder was Lao Ma, accounting for less than 50% of the shares, and the remaining few people, ranging from 10% to 20%.
If you take out 40% of it to others at once, then everyone's shares will be compressed by a large amount, and if you get back the money, if you divide it equally, it will be exactly the same as the money invested at the beginning, which is equivalent to not spending a penny, and then accounting for a part of the shares.
The problem is that since we get together to start a business, the purpose is definitely not to make these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, but to hope that one day the company will become bigger and everyone will soar.
And at present, although Teng Xun does not make money, there is no special place to spend money - the rent and staff wages mentioned before are not big numbers that crush the company in the final analysis, they write some software privately and sell it is enough to spend, and even among the five major shareholders, there are two part-time jobs, and they once stated that if the company is difficult, they can not get wages for a period of time.
Tengxun's biggest challenge at present is to find the general direction of development, in short, to make a product that is welcomed by the market, rather than lacking hundreds of thousands.
Don't talk about 500,000, it's 1 million, if you don't find the general direction, this money is still empty.
Taking this money, there is no substantial benefit to the company's future development, and there is no particularly urgent economic need at present, but to give up a large part of the shares, this account is obviously not cost-effective.
"But that's half a million from the sky. A small shareholder suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Dazeng, I heard you just called, Feike Company, isn't that PHS, such a big company, it shouldn't be a liar." If there are too many shares, can we bargain with them?"
There was some silence in the office.
On the one hand, it is 500,000 real money at your fingertips, and on the other hand, it is a non-urgent need and a major transfer of power.
If you are a shopping mall veteran, you may be able to make a choice in a short period of time, or go to conduct more in-depth research, and then get in touch and choose a path that is most beneficial to you.
But these people here, after all, are still too young and have limited business experience, so it is very difficult to make a choice at this time.
In the end, it was Lao Ma, the major shareholder, who spoke: "Otherwise, let's try the single business of telecommunications first, if it is completed, there will be 300,000 yuan, and the follow-up maintenance cost is no less than 500,000 yuan." Taking a step back, even if we want to cooperate, if we don't have something strong at hand, we don't have the confidence to bargain with Feike, we can only say what we do, it's too passive. ”
"Okay, let's take a step and see a step. Zhidong nodded, "Dazeng, what do you see?"
Dazeng looked at the other people and said, "Look?"
"Let's do it first. ”
"It's okay, anyway, didn't you leave their contact information, I'll contact them when I'm really short of money. ”
