Chapter 33: The First Step to Domination

"I said I picked it up on the road, you don't believe it. ”

Roy joked speechlessly, people always like to judge people by their appearance, Mark looked at Debra more beautiful, and inexplicably thought that her ability was also first-class, even if it wasn't first-class, appearance or something could make up for everything.

Mark asked, "I see you don't care much about Miss Debra." ”

Roy glanced at Debra next to him, and immediately explained righteously: "How is it possible, it's just that the company is just starting, so there are not many jobs suitable for her." ”

"My side...... Maybe...... There is a job that suits her. ”

"Really?" Roy thought, it wouldn't be bad if Debra was thrown to Mark and the salary was taken out of the other party's account. Roy pretended to be embarrassed: "I think you can also see that Debra is very capable. ”

Mark smiled and nodded, probably the sperm worm got into his head, and he confirmed Roy's statement without in-depth contact, and he promised: "I will give a higher salary than the market." ”

"Out of your books?"

"Out of my books. ”

"What is the salary of a mid-level assistant?"

"Salary for a mid-level assistant. ”

"I need ...... Ask Debra for her opinion. ”

Roy called Debra aside and asked, "Mark and I belong to the same company, and you can follow him to get acquainted with the business now, is it okay?"

Debra pouted, slightly dissatisfied.

Roy continued to comfort: "Good boy, Mark is the least short of money, and he can get a high salary, conservatively estimated, at least $5,000 a month, plus bonuses and other benefits, when you started, you have already surpassed most of the working class." ”

"So...... High. Debra's mouth opened wide, the place where she interviewed before, never signed a formal contract with her, the monthly salary was only more than a thousand dollars, and the work intensity was also very high, I didn't expect this salary to be ridiculously high.

"You know, if I pay you, it's $2,000 at most. Unless you have the ability to get a higher salary. So, you know how rare this opportunity is. ”

Debra nodded excitedly and assured, "I will definitely work hard." ”

Roy took two steps, thought about it, and still explained: "Debra, as before, when you encounter unreasonable requests at work, you have to learn to refuse, and if you have difficulties, come to me...... Finally, trust me, you're the best. ”

"I see. ”

Roy returned to his position with a sad face and said to Mark: "It's not easy, Debra is willing to join the company because of the vision I sketched, and it seems that I will be transferred to work next to you, it seems to be ......"

Mark saw that Debra didn't seem to resist, and knew in his heart that Roy must be playing tricks again, Mark got straight to the point: "What else do you want?"

Roy pretended to be sad for a while, and said, "It's too vulgar to make a request, you know, I can't bear her." ”

"It's not life and death, it's going to be common. ”

"Okay. Debra, please ask you, the employment contract will be signed together in the afternoon. Roy was happy in his heart, and sent Debra away for the time being, and he was debt-free and light.

Mark reached out and shook Debra again, and with the beauty beside him, he felt as if he had changed his hair for the second time.

After talking about Debra, Roy also got to the point: "Mark, the seed round of financing has been preliminarily successful, and I am ready to expand the results immediately, this opportunity should not be missed." ”

"Expansion? Is it a direct Series A financing? But we haven't made any achievements. ”

"It's not a Series A financing, it's a seed round. Don't forget, it's Flynn Capital that invests in our business!"

Mark suddenly realized and was enlightened, and was awakened by Roy's words.

There are a lot of investment companies in the financial capital market, most of which are mediocre in their profits, and only the top venture capital companies can create miracles, such as Gabriel's Flynn Capital, Alisa's Wanren Capital, and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Capital...... Based on the aura of giants, small and medium-sized investment companies will refer to their investment data and blindly follow the trend, or select companies that have already invested in giants, or select companies with similar business models after giants have invested.

Therefore, maybe Netflix can follow suit and raise some more money.

Flynn Capital has now invested $1.5 million in Roy's company, which is a small amount but a bellwether that the company has potential.

As long as Roy and Mark can tell the story of this future legendary company in the next meeting and create an impression that they are favored by Flynn Capital, then there must be many follow-investors.

With more initial capital, the probability of success of this strategy is still very high.

Mark said excitedly: "I will immediately arrange to meet more investors. ”

Roy reminded: "Don't be in a hurry first, wait for the dust of the financing contract to settle in the afternoon before acting, and now collect investor information first." ”

"Okay. ”

"Also, when is Miss Alyssa's appointment?"

"Tomorrow morning. "Yesterday Mark received a call from Alyssa's assistant and wanted to meet Mark and Roy, but he didn't expect Roy to successfully attract Gabriel's attention yesterday and get the first financing of the seed round, which made Mark and Roy neither expect, so Alyssa's meeting was scheduled for tomorrow.

According to authoritative statistics, 50% of start-ups die because of the broken capital chain, and Roy, who is precarious, also has a strong sense of crisis, so as long as the conditions are not harsh, Roy will take money, and he is not arrogant enough to be able to cook without rice.

Originating from co-investment, if Alyssa really wants to invest, she is already one step too late and can't get the best conditions.

Roy and Mark discussed the proportion of financing for the follow-up investment again, and then they separated and prepared their own things.

Because Debra has not signed an employment contract yet, she is still with Roy for the time being.

……

————

In the afternoon, before signing the contract, Roy was not idle, calling Ulysses to find a suitable office space together.

As they passed by the Lyanne Building, where Netflix was located, Ulysses proposed, "BOSS, I see that there is also a spare place to rent here, why don't we also work here?"

"Nope. Roy directly refused, Nima's building has a total of five floors, and the people from Netflix usually don't look up and look down, how embarrassing.

"Okay, let's go to the front building. ”

……

Twenty minutes before signing the contract, Roy and Debra returned to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel to officially meet Gabriel's assistant Henry.

Henry's attitude was the same as that of Gabriel, as if everyone owed him five million.

Fortunately, Henry's tone was not too harsh, and after the lawyers of the two sides exchanged opinions, several people quickly signed a seed round financing contract - $1.5 million in financing, accounting for 15% of the company's shares, and the funds arrived within a month.

After Henry left, under the arrangement of the lawyer, they also signed Debra's labor contract.

Roy looked at the signed documents with satisfaction beside him, and a heroic aura gushed out from the bottom of his heart - I am now the boss again, and I am officially on the road to dominating the world.

Suddenly, he saw a text in the contract, and felt weird, he looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, and he almost blurted out a national scolding.
