Whether Gao Xi's words are sincere or tentative, in fact, there is not much difference for Xia Mu, she never thought of getting it for nothing, even if she won the award with the help of Gao Xi this time, the credit is also Gao Xi's, she knows it in her heart, so this patent is naturally Gao Xi's, she must make this matter clear.

"What patent is not patented, I said Sister Mu, do you think it is interesting for me to ask for this patent? When I win the award, do you want me to accept the award? It's not interesting, I'll have to explain to someone how this thing was designed, so you can spare me. Gao Xi waved his hand and said: "Think about it carefully, Sister Mu, whether you go to receive this award or Ah Duo to receive it, it is better than me, so you are not polite to the outside world, just say that it is our joint design, and your name is in the first place, I believe it, the design drawings I got are good, but just like Chinese food, even if it is delicious, there must be foreigners who are not used to eating it, and you, as a designer, are to prescribe the right medicine and make some subtle improvements to these designs, Wouldn't it be better to make it more popular with the people of the world? ”

"But that thing is yours after all." Although Xia Mu felt that Gao Xi's words were reasonable, he still felt that something was wrong.

"That's right, the thing is mine, but Sister Mu, don't forget, half of the equity of this studio now belongs to me, I dedicate a little bit to my company, is there anything wrong with that? Our ancestor has a good saying, 'You don't compete with your ministers', although you and I are not monarchs and ministers, but Sister Mu, you should understand my thoughts, I'm afraid of trouble, and I won't bother for these things, so if you take this credit, it's definitely better than me holding it. Gao Xi said with a smile.

Someone may ask, aren't you afraid that Xia Mu will take your design and take it for himself?

What are you afraid of, Gao Xi is not a jewelry designer, all he wants is to make some money, not to mention that Xia Mu will not do that. Even if he really did that, he wouldn't care, Xia Mu wanted fame and fortune, all he wanted was money. This in itself was a very beautiful thing, and not only was he not afraid, but he actually wanted to make things get to this point, because then he would have a lot less trouble. You don't have to explain anything to others.

As for his cooperation with Tiffany, it doesn't matter, because his cooperation with Tiffany & Co. is only limited to a series of jewelry, and now that the jewelry has been available, it is up to him to decide whether to continue to cooperate next, he doesn't want to bother, so he will definitely hand it over to Shamu's studio to be responsible, whether it is working with Tiffany or doing it alone, it will be up to Shamu and her followers to worry about. He, the major shareholder, can make money.

Sometimes if you think about it, if this person has no desires, he will be in a much better mood, and he will not be angry about some idle things.

No wonder the ancients said that contentment is always happy, and indeed contentment is really always happy.

"But I took your blueprints, and I don't feel good in my heart, and even if you agree, I still feel uncomfortable." Xia Mu shook his head, still a little unacceptable.

"Sister Mu. Where's your sassy and straightforward personality in the past? As I already said, I didn't design this blueprint, I just got it by accident, if I had to show it up. It would have to be sold cheaply to a large company like Tiffany & Co., and it would be better to give you the credit for the design than to do that. Besides, maybe you won't be able to look at the blueprint, and you'll just be enlightened. If you create your own style of jewelry, you won't feel indebted, right? Gao Xi felt that there were some things that he couldn't say in front of everyone, so he pulled Shamu to the side and said in a low voice.

"But in that case, how can I repay you?"

"The reward is simple, I don't let you make a promise, you just need to make me more money, let me save more snacks, this design is in your hands, you try your best to play its role, let it become my money-making machine, this is the biggest reward for me, so that I can still live a comfortable and carefree life." Gao Xi said with a smile.

"You, you, thankfully it's you! If you change anyone, no matter how good the relationship is, you probably won't do it. Xia Mu sighed helplessly.

"Sister Mu, you also know that I'm a very lazy person and don't have the heart to take care of such complicated things, and it's really a waste to put these design drawings here. As the so-called sword gives to heroes, this jewelry design is a sword, Sister Mu, you are a hero, who do you say I won't give you this design to? Gao Xi laughed.

"Stinky boy. You can rest assured, I promise you today, this design is in my hands, the first thing to do is to let it win the grand prize at this New York jewelry fair, and then, I will make this studio grow rapidly, and I hope that one day, it can become a big jewelry company like Tiffany's. "Xia Mu is different from Gao Xi, Gao Xi has no ambitions, he just wants to be an idle prince, and Xia Mu has the heart to be an emperor.

"Hahaha, that's right, with Sister Mu's words, I will sleep fragrantly in the future, and I don't have to worry about anything anymore." Gao Xi laughed and said, this matter is over. Otherwise, he was always worried about what to do with the future design drawings, and whether Tiffany was cheating on his own money, which was not a good feeling.

The two of them returned to their seats, and Xia Mu said: "At present, the development of our studio can be said to have encountered an unprecedented bottleneck, although the list cannot be said to be none, but it is just a list of some private or small jewelry companies, which does not make much money, and sometimes in order to give them better designs, we have to lose money to enter, but as long as we can get the grand prize of this New York Jewelry Fair, then our studio will really be able to see the sun and the moon through the dark clouds." So the next thing is to make preparations for this jewelry fair, and the rest of the work will be put on hold for the time being. ”

"Mr. Xia, the last time you asked me to find a venture capital company, you already have an eyebrow, should you put this aside for the time being?" Li Qiang asked suddenly.

"Venture capital? What VC? Gao Xi asked after a pause.

"Venture capital is venture capital." Li Qiang replied.

"I know this, I don't understand it anymore, I don't know what venture capital is, I just want to ask, what are you looking for venture capital?" Gao Xi said with a wry smile.

"It's like this, we had a serious lack of funds in hand, and the studio has reached an unsustainable level, so in order to speed up the development of the studio and enhance its competitiveness, we went to look for venture capital. But you should also know that venture capital is generally aimed at high-tech industries, and our jewelry design is difficult to be eyed. Li Qiang found a lot of people and opened up many relationships for this matter, and finally got the approval of a venture capital company, so let him talk about the specific situation. Xia Mu felt that it was necessary to explain clearly to Gao Xi, after all, Gao Xi is now the largest shareholder of the company.

"Okay, let's talk about it first." Gao Xi felt as if he was a little too excited, but there was no need for this, so he said with a little relief.

Li Qiang nodded, and then continued: "There is a venture capital company that has taken a fancy to the development prospects of our studio, and this person has participated in the design process of the jewelry that Mr. Xia won at the Paris Jewelry Fair in France. So he felt that Xia always had the ability to lead the studio to make money. Of course, after the investment, the venture capital firm will own about 30% of our company's shares, and the total investment will reach $2 million. ”

Lu Chengfeng said with a smile: "As an outsider, I shouldn't have interjected in this statement, but now I have to say a word, you know, some venture capital companies sometimes invest in the form of convertible preferred shares, and have the right to expand their ownership in the company at an appropriate time, and have the right to have the right of preferential liquidation when the company is liquidated." In order to reduce the risk, venture capitalists often join forces to invest in a certain project, so that each venture capitalist in the same enterprise equity amount between 20% ~ 30%, on the one hand, it reduces the risk, on the other hand, it also brings more management and consulting resources to the venture company, and provides multiple evaluation results for the venture company, reducing the evaluation error. This, of course, has certain benefits for the development of the company. ”

"But these cannibalistic people don't spit out their bones, of course, don't do loss-making business, and if a venture company gets into trouble, venture capitalists may be forced to step in or take over altogether. He may have to hire someone else to replace the original management team, or manage the venture himself. That is to say, once there is a crisis in your company, it may have to change hands, and you must understand that as a venture capital company, it is generally not allowed to have a major shareholder like Xige, so it is difficult for them to control the overall situation of the company, and what they can do is very limited, so under normal circumstances, they will become the largest shareholder of the company. ”

Lu Chengfeng is analyzed from a professional point of view, although he is a computer genius, but over the years, he has begun to engage in the management of the company, and he definitely knows more about venture capital than Gao Xi and Xia Mu.

Li Qiang shook his head and said, "Although what Mr. Lu said is right, I think it's a win-win situation. Without knowing what the studio's prospects are, finding VCs is a risk-sharing in itself, and there's nothing wrong with that, with their investment, our studio can grow quickly and they can make money, which is not a bad thing. ”

"I also agree with Li Qiang's statement, we don't know what this road will develop into, in this case, there is someone to help us take risks together, even if we fail in the future, it will not fall too badly." (To be continued.) )
