Chapter 157 Authorization
In the café next to Columbia, Su Jingzhen and Jack chatted about many topics, the most important of which was that Su Jingzhen proposed to ask Jack and George to increase the number of people to further study the computer power supply, and also proposed to set up a small research team, hoping that Jack and George would lead and manage the team.
Of course, Jack agreed very happily, after all, the graduate students of Columbia University sound very famous, but when it comes to the electrical major of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, it is a bit difficult to get it, and now there is a financier to hire the two of them, and both of them immediately nodded and agreed.
In late March, this small studio affiliated with Yisou Network Company was established, and Su Jingzhen also promised to inject $50,000 into this small studio.
Jack's goal in the first phase is to provide a design plan for a high-power computer power supply, as well as the mouse that George is currently researching, and Su Jingzhen also hopes that they can come up with a preliminary design.
With money as a driving force, Jack immediately patted his chest and agreed, and after he went back, he drove George away and asked him to submit a plan as much as possible, Su Jingzhen also put forward some concepts for mouse design, such as clicking the left and right buttons and the force feedback problem of the scroll wheel, try not to design a rolling ball mouse, but to study the photoelectric positioning mouse, which also happens to match the majors of the two graduate students.
At the same time, it also introduced Nancy's acquaintance with the two graduate students, and in the future, Nancy will contact them for general work contact, which frees Su Jingzhen himself and gives him more time to do other things, such as looking for some flash-related patents or something all over the world.
In April '95, Yahoo's first round of financing was finally successfully implemented, and Su Jingzhen, as the third largest shareholder, did not attend the signing ceremony, which should have been Su Jingzhen's first meeting with Internet celebrities.
But Su Jingzhen is not interested in Mr. Yang, who graduated from Stanford, because he himself has no good impression of Taiwan, so even the people who came out of Taiwan do not have a good impression.
Therefore, he only entrusted Citibank to attend the signing ceremony, and because of this, the outside world misunderstood Citi's role in this financing, which is widely believed to be the beginning of Wall Street consortiums starting to pay attention to the new power of the Internet.
And Citi also happens to use this as publicity, after all, their investment bank is also quite coveted in this emerging industry, for example, the listing of Netscape has their figure in it, as one of the promoters of the listing, Citi Investment Bank is also on such occasions, try to promote its own company's products, Yahoo is also listed in it, so from this time on, Yahoo began to be known by people who do not use the Internet.
Hidden behind Citi, Su Jingzhen and his Yisou, are accumulating their own strength step by step, entering April, the number of hits on Yisou has increased to 300,000 per day, there are no ads on this homepage, and the website with refreshing pages has gradually spread among netizens.
Su Jingzhen's e-mail, there are also some letters asking for cooperation, and there are inevitably emails asking for capital injection, for cooperation Su Jingzhen is quite welcome, after he and Coleman's review, as long as the content of these websites meets their requirements, they can be added to the secondary directory of the website.
But for the capital injection, Su Jingzhen disdain, at this time the requirements for capital injection are some speculators, and the bid is also very low, generally within tens of thousands of US dollars, but the requirements are very much, at every turn is to take away fifty or even sixty percent of the equity, when the owner of the website is a fool.
"Okay, don't be angry, your company has been registered, mutual equity control zhì I just helped you make a simple division, how to transfer in the future, it's up to you, accounting and finance are looking for PricewaterhouseCoopers, the basic account is in Citigroup, but if you want to return to China in the future, then it is best to find a domestic bank, after all, foreign banks are very inconvenient in China. ”
In the apartment, Joanna comforted Su Jingzhen, who had finished reading the email, today Su Jingzhen shouted for a long time, because many of those emails asked for capital injection, Su Jingzhen was quite happy at first, after all, his website got the attention of investors, but after reading two letters, he began to scold, because the requirements were very harsh.
Su Jingzhen took the text handed over by Joanna, and the above information showed that the Huaiyi Venture Capital Company, registered in Bermuda, had all the equity of Tuolian, and Tuolian had all the equity of Yisou.
The other is an offshore company called Huaide, which has all the equity of a Hong Kong-funded company, and the Hong Kong-funded company has all the equity of a company called Yuehong International Electronics Co., Ltd.
"The equity owner of these two offshore companies is you, and if you want to strengthen management in the future, then you can set up another parent company on it, so that you can control both sides of the company. Joanna pointed to the text in Su Jingzhen's hand and said.
In fact, Su Jingzhen still has some companies that are not included in these two documents, such as his mother's clothing company, or the plastic model company that his father is preparing to establish, which did not sue Joanna.
Because now Su Jingzhen still doesn't know what the family thinks, whether to classify the company into a parent company, or each to manage its own, according to his own opinion, of course, it is best to be managed by a company, which can effectively increase efficiency, but this involves the issue of equity, you can't tell your parents, you both give me the company's equity, and my company will manage you.
This can easily lead to misunderstandings, and the family must sit down and discuss slowly, at least there must be a good communication, so that there will be no conflicts due to property problems.
"The legal document of patent authorization has also been done?" Su Jingzhen established a company that left the case, first, to avoid taxes, and second, to authorize the patent to the offshore company first, and then to the manufacturing company offshore, which can not only prevent the loss of patents, but also enhance the value of the brand.
"Well, the power of attorney must be signed by you. Joanna took out another copy of the legal document from her bag and handed it to Su Jingzhen.
Su Jingzhen simply flipped through it, and the articles on it were the same as the first draft he had shown him before, so he signed his name and handed it to Joanna.
With the authorization letter, even if the patent has not been fully applied, it can be issued to the domestic factory, and the product can be produced as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
