Chapter 5 Wealth touches people's hearts
For Internet companies, working overtime on weekends is commonplace, and Kangsheng Technology is no exception.
Early in the morning of Saturday, the staff on duty felt a little abnormal, in the past, only the technical post would be on duty in the company, but today is an exception, not only the financial came, several shareholders have also entered the company.
While everyone was still discussing in private, several people quickly left with a bunch of materials, and the company returned to calm.
"Brother Liu, you said that the young man just now was the big boss of the company?"
"I don't know, that's not easy. Liu Lei is an old employee, and he also has the capital to brag about at this time.
Kangsheng was still nested in the tube building opposite Zhonggang Plaza, Liu Lei entered the company as a program ape, who would have thought that now the shotgun has been replaced, the company's valuation is over 100 million, and he also moved into the office building in the core area of Zhongguancun.
In just one year, Liu Lei has become one of the founding employees of the company, and he naturally has a psychological advantage in the face of the new program ape.
"Brother Liu, tell us quickly, why is that not simple?" the other programmer asked eagerly.
Liu Lei naturally knew Chen Qiaoshan, the two bosses of the company, Dai Zhikang was in charge of technology, and Chen Qiaoshan was in charge of operation.
The old employees know that Dai is always a master of technology, and he is a bit brainless, only focusing on technology, but Mr. Chen is a master of operation, whether it is to bring in tens of millions of dollars in financing, or to insist on open source software, it is all from the hands of Chen Qiaoshan.
It's just that when the company is on the right track, people turn around and leave, without the slightest nostalgia.
In the eyes of many veteran employees, Mr. Chen has almost become a legendary figure in the mouths of everyone.
Kangsheng's valuation has already exceeded 100 million, and Liu Lei has privately pondered that if he is himself, he will never be reluctant to give up this industry, and in the face of a group of younger brothers, he will not hide his admiration for Mr. Chen.
"Don't look at the young people, that is the controlling shareholder of the company, Kangsheng can have today, with the credit of President Dai, but more of it is the ...... of President Chen."
Liu Lei's words caused a commotion among everyone, and there was a lot of discussion again.
…………
Not long after several shareholders left, several vice presidents of the company also rushed over.
Cheng Liang came the fastest, when Liu Lei was still bragging to others about how difficult the company was in the entrepreneurial period, Vice President Cheng had already entered the office area.
It is estimated that he is in a hurry, Cheng Liang is sweating, and when he saw Liu Lei and his gang getting together to brag, he immediately put on a straight face and said: "Spending money to invite you is just letting you fool around here? You have nothing to do, right? If you don't want to do it, get out of it as soon as possible." ”
Liu Lei made a fuss, but he was the boss, and he didn't dare to go back, but he was sure that he was unhappy, and he was also slandered in his heart, and the technical department was directly led by Mr. Dai, where was the turn of a vice president of sales to intervene.
The technical department is used to being casual, which is the tradition of Kangsheng Technology.
When Mr. Chen was still in the company, he directly broke the office partition between departments and set up an open office, which was very good.
Of course, some people joke that they are short of funds during the start-up period and have no money to build an independent office, which everyone laughs at.
As long as the result is good, no one will know why Mr. Chen did it in the first place.
At Kangsheng, as long as the project schedule is not delayed, the management never interferes with the way the program apes work.
This set of measures won the hearts of the people, and the effect was surprisingly good, coupled with the high salary of Kangsheng Technology, it soon made a name for itself in Zhongguancun and created a luxurious program ape team.
After training a group of poor junior grandsons, Cheng Liang's panic in his heart was vented a lot.
Too lazy to continue to bury these low-level program apes, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, calmed down his emotions again, and then changed his smile and walked into the president's office.
Chen Qiaoshan has left, but Dai Zhikang has stayed in the company.
He had a document in front of him, and he didn't open it, just left it there.
Thinking of the previous exchange with Chen Qiaoshan, Dai Zhikang's heart was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface, he really didn't want to believe that his friend for many years was openly seeking personal gain in the company.
Like Yao Yong, Dai Zhikang is also from a scholarly family, his grandfather and parents are both college teachers and intellectuals, but the circumstances of the two are not the same.
Yao Yong is a student at Tsinghua University, but Dai Zhikang is a standard scumbag, during college, his professional grades were at the bottom of the grade every year, fortunately, this did not affect his programming skills, that is, during that time, he met Cheng Liang.
The relationship between the two is somewhat special, not only friends, but Cheng Liang is also Dai's father's graduate student.
Neither of them was interested in their majors, but preferred the Internet, so the two hit it off at first sight, and later co-founded the first community forum in the Northeast.
Because of his father's relationship and the friendship in his early years, Dai Zhikang values Cheng Liang very much.
When Kangsheng completed the financing of tens of millions of US dollars, and Chen Qiaoshan took the initiative to withdraw from the management, Dai Zhikang invited Cheng Liang over and entrusted him with an important task.
Who knows, with good intentions at the beginning, there is a mess today.
Dai Zhikang couldn't believe that his most trusted friend had betrayed him.
Until Cheng Liang walked into the office, Dai Zhikang never opened the material in front of him, and when he saw that the party involved in the incident came, he frowned slightly.
The company's accounts had just been taken away, and Cheng Liangren arrived, which was too much of a coincidence.
Thinking of all the previous speculations, even if Dai Zhikang believed in Cheng Liang's character, he couldn't help but be suspicious at this time.
"Zhikang, on the big weekend, you are not at home to accompany your daughter-in-law, why did you come to the company so early?" Cheng Liang opened his mouth first, he is Dai's father's doctoral student, much older than Dai Zhikang, the two families have a close relationship, and they have been friends for many years, so they are more casual in private.
"There's something to do temporarily, come over and deal with it, and I'll leave later." Thinking of Chen Qiaoshan's previous confession, Dai Zhikang could only say a perfunctory sentence, and then he asked, "What about you, why did you come here too?"
"I heard that Mr. Chen brought someone to the company to seal the accounts, no, I rushed over to take a look. Although he was worried, Cheng Liang did not hide his intentions.
Hearing him say it bluntly, the suspicion in Dai Zhikang's heart decreased slightly.
Dai Zhikang was very entangled in his heart, he hoped that Cheng Liang was innocent, but with his understanding of Chen Qiaoshan, he would definitely not joke about this kind of thing.
The key is the entire finance department, Chen Qiaoshan insisted on external audit this time, making it clear that he did not believe in Kangsheng's finances.
Thinking of this, Dai Zhikang felt a headache.
Cheng Liang also felt unstable, and he asked again: "Why is there no news in advance, why did the company close the accounts?"
"In the near future, we are preparing to introduce an option plan and take away the accounts, mainly to do a systematic audit of the previous revenue, and they will ask a professional consulting company to improve the existing financial system, and also involve the issue of preparing for the establishment of a board of directors. ”
Kangsheng has long passed the stage of the grass platform, and the management must gradually get on the right track.
As early as the beginning of the financing, the option pool has been set aside, as for the establishment of the board of directors, this is Chen Qiaoshan's temporary proposal, as the controlling shareholder, he has this right, early establishment is also conducive to the management of the company.
"The company wants to issue options?"
Dai Zhikang obviously said three things, but Cheng Liang only listened to one, and as for the financial audit and the board of directors, he directly ignored it.
Dai Zhikang was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but still said: "Yes, if you stay in the company for a certain number of years, you can get the corresponding options according to your rank." ”
Kangsheng was valued at more than 100 million at the end of last year, and now the number of users has exceeded 800,000, and the number of paying users has also increased significantly.
According to the price-earnings ratio multiple method commonly used by Internet companies today, the valuation of Kangsheng Technology will be greatly increased.
Cheng Liang's heart was restless, as one of the company's executives, he would definitely be able to get a large share, even if it was 1%, according to the current development momentum, it could be a huge fortune in the future.
"What is the exercise price? How many shares can we, the vice presidents, get?" Cheng Liang asked the question he was most concerned about.
An option is not equity, it is the right to buy equity at a certain price, whether to give or not is the company's business, and it is up to the employee to decide whether to do it or not.
Since Kangsheng has made options, it shows that it intends to list overseas, because only equity trading is allowed in China, and options are not protected.
"The price is not clear, you can probably take a little five, depending on the final plan. ”
Although he doesn't care much about the company's operations, Dai Zhikang is not a fool.
Seeing Cheng Liang's excited face, Dai Zhikang sighed secretly, wealth is moving, in front of interests, friends may really be nothing.
