After returning to San Francisco from Yosemite, Zhang Chen did not rush to contact the ICQ team, but completely resumed his student life at two points and one line.

Viggs and Goldfinger, who did not get a response from Zhang Chen, became ants on a hot pot. The two of them made several versions of the business plan in a row, and none of them looked satisfactory, let alone for Moretz.

And Tang Miaomiao went to the state government to register an investment company, she is the director, and Zhang Chen is the shareholder.

Originally, Zhang Chen wanted to give Tang Miaomiao 5% of the shares, but Tang Miaomiao resolutely didn't want to, and finally only symbolically hung the name of 1% of the shares, which means that Zhang Chen is the sole shareholder of this company.

When Tang Miaomiao asked Zhang Chen how to come up with the name of his company, Zhang Chen pondered for a while and said slowly: "AllSpark, let's call it this name." ”

"AllSpark?" Tang Miaomiao chewed on the strange name, "What does this mean? All the sparks?"

Zhang Chen smiled: "It's okay to explain it like this, but this is a proper noun, from Transformers, and it is translated as - Tinder Source in China." ”

Although she didn't know what Zhang Chen wanted to do when she established this company, this name gave her a sense of epicness.

Tang Miaomiao hadn't seen Transformers, and Zhang Chen didn't explain much, the Tinder Source was the source and destination of all Transformers' souls, it could give any electronic device a soul and resurrect them when they died.

This is also Zhang Chen's ambition for his own career, and he hopes that in the next 10, 20, 50 years, or even longer, his company will continue to "empower" various startups and emerging industries. Not only to give these companies financial support, but also to give these companies a soul. Until your own fire spreads throughout the world and you master the most powerful capital power in this world, you can truly change the world and change the rules of operation of the world!

After the establishment of Allspark Capital Inc., Zhang Chen injected $3 million of start-up capital into the new company and transferred all the ICQ shares originally in his personal name to Tinder Capital.

At the same time, Tinder hired its first employee, Su Zhuohui.

Zhang Chen did not decide to join Su Zhuohui because he had a good relationship with Su Zhuoyuan, but because her professional background was strong enough.

Although Su Zhuohui's current ability is not enough to manage such an investment company, her learning ability and educational background can make up for the shortcomings of her ability in a very short period of time. In the future, Zhang Chen's expectation for Su Zhuohui is to become one of the partners of Tinder Source in the United States, and in a short period of time, Su Zhuoyuan's main job is to conduct due diligence on start-ups. , and Zhang Chen appointed Su Zhuorui

Tang Miaomiao, who will also study in the United States in the next few years, has no problem dealing with some of the company's daily operations with Su Zhuoyuan, after all, both of them are top students. Zhang Chen also authorized Tang Miaomiao's investment authority with a total amount of one million US dollars, which is not big, but not small, so that Tang Miaomiao and Su Zhuorui can use it to practice.

Zhang Chen is ready to withdraw part of the remaining capital back to China, which is still in the stage of foreign exchange control, and the US dollar has an irreplaceable role in many fields.

Zhang Chen took the time to pay attention to the domestic stock market, from April to now, Qiong Minyuan has risen from 2.76 yuan to 13 yuan. It is equivalent to his own capital in the stock market from 200,000 to 1 million.

Don't look at Zhang Chen's softness in making dollars in the new economy in the United States, but the money in China is really earned by doing business, a bead of sweat falling to the ground and smashing eight petals.

Only this domestic A-share speculation made Zhang Chen feel less effortless.

There is another week until the end of July, according to Liu Ming's prediction, the profit share of the aliens in July will be about 700,000 yuan in his hands, and Tang Miaomiao's 10% will also be 200,000 yuan.

On the side of Little Sheep, Su Wenjin opened a second store in Bincheng, which is also popular, but now the problem is staff training, and it is difficult to maintain the same service level as the first store. Therefore, Su Wenjin decided to slow down the pace of expansion and do a solid job of employee training first.

After actual operation, Su Wenjin found that if you want to instill the core concept of the enterprise into the minds of the core employees of each store, it will take at least half a year to adopt the way of bringing the old with the new. Therefore, how to improve the training efficiency of employees has become her biggest headache.

As for the loan money, it had been repaid to the bank in advance at the beginning of this month, and Zhang Chen didn't say anything after knowing it, after all, it is not the funds that restrict the development of Little Sheep, but the talents.

Zhang Chen is not in a hurry, but Viggs is anxious enough. The business plan he and Goldfinger had barely saved was rejected as soon as it was handed over to Moretz, and this time, Moretz directly rejected ICQ's request for financing.

Originally, there were a few venture capital firms interested in investing in ICQ, but after Sequoia said no to ICQ, they were just as cautious. Some companies withdrew their funding offers, while others cautiously lowered ICQ's valuations.

As soon as Zhang Chen returned to the dormitory from the classroom, he saw Viggs and Goldfinger waiting downstairs.

"Hey, Zack, long time no see. As soon as he saw Zhang Chen, Goldfinger hurriedly greeted him, and Viggs also waved his hand with an embarrassed expression.

Zhang Chen pretended not to know anything, and said with a smile: "Yes, why are you here?"

Viggs smiled dryly: "Zack, a few days ago, Sequoia proposed to raise funds for ICQ, so we came to discuss with you. ”

Zhang Chen was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good thing, when will you have an appointment with the people of Sequoia?"

Goldfinger coughed twice, "Zack, that's right, we've already talked to Moretz of Red Mountain. But he thinks it is necessary to get your consent because you retain special rights as a shareholder. ”

Zhang Chen's face sank, "Goldfinger, are you saying that without me, you yourself have reached some kind of agreement with Sequoia?"

Goldfinger hurriedly explained: "No, no, you misunderstood, we didn't reach any agreement, so I came to discuss with you today." ”

Zhang Chen's face softened slightly, "Oh, I see." And what are the conditions for Sequoia?"

Goldfinger looked embarrassed, "We initially offered Sequoia $15 million for 20% non-voting equity, but Sequoia's Moretz disagreed, and initially offered us $7 million for 20% equity. ”

Zhang Chen lowered his head and pondered for a while, looked up at Viggs and said, "In other words, his valuation of ICQ is 35 million US dollars, which is not bad." It doesn't matter, I agree to the price, it's up to you. ”

Goldfinger was embarrassed: "Well, but then something went wrong, and our business plan, Sequoia, didn't think it was good enough, so let's revise it again." ”

Zhang Chen still pretended to be puzzled, "Then you can revise it, it's just a plan." ”

Viggs couldn't help but say: "Zack, without your written authorization, we can only dilute our shares, and besides, Sequoia's entry is good for us, and you must also make efforts to talk to Sequoia, otherwise it's not fair." ”

Zhang Chen suddenly said: "It turned out that I was rejected by Sequoia, but now I think of me? Why didn't you think it was unfair when you hooked up with Sequoia behind my back!?" When he said the last sentence, Zhang Chen's voice was full of emotion, and his eyes looked directly at Viggs.
