Chapter 69 Signing of Contracts
The reason why Lin Yan wants to come to Silicon Valley for a spin and find a company to invest in. It's not because he has money to burn. Rather, it is because he wants to explore the way at the starting point, so as to lay a good foundation for the red and white machine to enter the US market.
This is also the reason why he came to the United States, which he has not forgotten.
Jobs, an American guy, raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "If you invest $10,000, I can give you forty-five percent of the shares." ”
The expression of the American guy Jobs was very tangled, on the one hand, he was afraid that his lion would open his mouth and scare away Lin Yan, an investor. On the other hand, he also felt a little excited. Because, if you get an investment of $10,000 for a company that you founded with $300,000. Isn't that the valuation has reached more than $20,000? That's a big win.
When the time comes, show your father, who is not so supportive of his own business, and he will be able to shut up. Perhaps, Mary next door will also like herself.
The satisfaction of self-realization and the satisfaction of love filled Jobs's heart. If he had seen "Dream of Red Mansions", he would have known that a word called yi-lewd could perfectly describe the sweet dream he is having now.
Lin Yan used his finger knuckles to buckle the table rhythmically. He was not thinking about ten thousand dollars, but about the shares. He felt that he had less shares, and it didn't seem to mean much. Do you want to spend more money and buy more shares, so that the young man in front of you can change from a boss to a part-time worker. Waiting for his own company, when he soared, he always began to regret why he bought the company so cheaply.
The more Lin Yan thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and it was really a very interesting thing. The corners of his mouth curled into an arc. He said to Jobs, "I'll invest you with $30,000." In exchange for ninety-five percent of the shares. The right to operate the enterprise belongs to you, and I have the right to suggest. But the decision is still yours. In other words, you are still the actual operator of the company. ”
"Ninety-five percent? Thirty thousand dollars? Jobs' face was full of incredulity.
"Hmm. Think about it. Lin Yan said very comfortably.
Jobs's mind went blank, and the only thing in this blank space was the big figure of $30,000.
He is either a veteran entrepreneur or a child in the rebellious period of high school. His father was an employee of a large company in Silicon Valley, and he was infected by the entrepreneurial atmosphere of Silicon Valley and wanted to do something for himself.
"I, I promise ......" after some thought. Jobs decided to say yes. Because, for him, 30,000 dollars, is already a staggering amount. You know, his father's monthly salary is less than a thousand dollars. This is equivalent to more than two years of his father's salary at one time.
"Good. I've already made an appointment with a lawyer, and I'm on my way here. Do you want to hire a lawyer too? Lin Yan asked.
"Forget it, forget it...... I trust you, and I trust the lawyer you hire. Jobs said. He knew to find a lawyer. It's a reliable thing to check for yourself.
It's not that he doesn't want to call, it's that he doesn't have money. Lawyer, as an upper-class profession in the United States. Not only can you dress brightly to attend all kinds of high-end parties. Their salaries are also very high-level.
Take Lin Yanyue's lawyer, for example. It costs two hundred dollars per hour. The charge is from the lawyer who receives the phone call, and if he agrees, he will forget it. That is, the time when the lawyer goes out. The time spent in the car is all about making money.
And the funds for the creation of the company by Jobs. It's only $300. This money can only be hired for an hour and a half to hire a lawyer. The lawyer's office should be far away from him, and it is estimated that the time will come when people come.
Well, if you take a stake in European, the lawyer may also be happy. You don't have to do anything, just take the car, and then, take the money and leave.
There is no chic force.
He didn't really want to inform his father that someone was investing in him and that he needed to ask a lawyer to read the contract. His dad doesn't smoke him. Although a monthly income of 1,000 dollars seems like a lot, even in a third world country, you can live a life on the side of a god.
But for a family of four, living in Silicon Valley, that's just enough money.
It was already very hard for him to get the $300 start-up capital.
Lin Yan observed the expression of the American brother in front of him, and his face was full of smiles. However, although he looked calm, he calculated in his heart whether he could come up with $30,000.
It stands to reason that the red and white machines he made have sold millions of units. He should also become a rich man with a lot of money. However, he doesn't have that much money now. Because, the contract he signed with Chiba Games was paid quarterly.
Now that the red and white machine has been on the market for less than four months, he still can't get the money. In fact, because of this, Titanium Light Technology has not received the full payment, and is expanding the production line.
Where does its money come from, it comes from the banks. The bank has given a huge loan to Titanium Technology for the intention of Chiba Games to Titanium Light Technology.
Delayed settlement of loans, in this industry, is a relatively normal thing. Titanium Optics Technology and other companies in the supply chain have not complained about anything.
If you don't have funds, just go to the bank and borrow it. Banks are also happy to lend to them. After all, the sales of red and white machines are so strong.
This sales volume is the guarantee of all problems. It's credit.
Lin Yan calculated that the deposit he had was about 20 million yen, which was from the licensing fee of the video game alliance.
Of course, the current video game alliance must be more annoying to Lin Yan and don't want to give him this money. However, they do have to enforce the contract. At the end of the year, Lin Yan, as a shareholder, should still be able to get a large amount of pink.
20 million yen, or about 80,000 U.S. dollars at the exchange rate. A $30,000 investment is no problem. Perhaps, I should invest in some other company?
Actually, he was ready just now. If you don't have enough money. He was already planning to talk to Chiba Yuki on the phone and talk to her about borrowing some money.
Forget it's enough, that's fine, he doesn't want to be angry with others, ask someone. He really didn't like that feeling of begging someone.
If he had that kind of character, he wouldn't have fallen out with the video game league.
The lawyer came and spent hours working out the contract. Lin Yan needs to pay the lawyer thousands of dollars.
According to the contract, Lin Yan would pay $30,000 at a time to Jobs.
The two signed their names.
After signing the contract, Lin Yan said, "Okay, now that the contract has been signed, I have some ideas to say." ”
