Chapter 236 Transfer of Equity
"It's just that I think the 30 percent equity they are asking for is still too much, and I can let it, that is, about 20 percent, which is the limit, after all, they only invested two million US dollars, although this money is a huge amount of money for our studio at the moment, but it may not be in the future." Xia Mu also said.
"What if we knew we would succeed in the future? Is there still a need to bring in venture capital? Gao Xi asked suddenly.
"Of course, there is no need to take risks, and since there is no need to take risks, why bring in venture capital to influence the company's equity, it is very stupid. But how do you say that this must be successful? Li Qiang asked suspiciously.
Xia Mu also looked at Gao Xi suspiciously, they didn't quite understand, they themselves were not very sure about the future of this studio, so how did Gao Xi confirm that it would be successful?
"Well, you probably won't understand what I'm saying. So how about to put it another way, if I come to participate in this venture capital, aren't they going to invest two million dollars, how about I come up with this money? Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Gao Xi, I understand what you mean, but I won't let you take this risk, you should understand, right?" Xia Mu smiled bitterly.
Gao Xi sighed, he felt that he really couldn't convince Xia Mu with words alone, so he thought for a while and said, "You eat first, and I'll come when I go." ”
When he returned, he had a copy of the book from the elven camp that he thought would win an award at the New York International Jewelry Fair, not only necklaces, but also earrings, rings, bracelets, and even a crown, a set of jewels.
Gao Xi felt that no matter how well he said it, it was better to let the two designers on the scene, Xia Mu and Ah Duo, look at the design drawing, because after they read it, they naturally understood why he was so confident.
"That's your blueprint?" Shamu asked.
"It's just one of them, you and Ah Duo have a look. That's my self-confidence. After Gao Xi gave the blueprint to Xia Mu, he drank it there and let the two designers take a closer look.
As for Li Qiang, because neither Gao Xi nor Xia Mu said that he could watch it. So this guy is really a little conflicted now, and he wants to see it, but he feels inappropriate.
"Li Qiang, don't contradict yourself, anyway, you don't understand jewelry design. It's useless to read it, so in order to avoid trouble, let's both of us stop watching it. Lu Chengfeng said with a smile.
"That's what Mr. Lu said." Li Qiang thought about it, he didn't know anything about jewelry design, even if he looked at it, it was a big piece of the stars that a dog watched, and it didn't make any sense at all, and in the end, he had to listen to Xia Mu and Ah Duo's analysis, so he calmed down and ate.
As for Colette and Rachel, they were even less interested in the blueprints. However, they were very interested in Xia Mu and Ah Duo's reaction after reading it, so they kept an eye on it.
"Gao Xi, just for this design drawing, in fact, even if you want 100% of the company's shares, I don't think it's anything, I can even be willing to work for you!"
After reading it, Xia Mu spoke in a very calm tone, but his words were completely amazing, as if a bombshell had been dropped directly in the crowd.
"I would too." Ah Duo was a little excited: "Listen to Mr. Xi's meaning, there is more than one design drawing. If nothing else, if I could see a few more of these designs in my life, I would be satisfied. ”
Li Qiang, Colette, and Rachel were completely dumbfounded.
But if you think about it, it seems that Xia Mu's words are not unreasonable. If there is more than one jewelry design that can reach the level of an international award, then Gao Xi can start a jewelry company on his own, and there is no need to cooperate with Chunyu Jewelry Design Studio.
"What are you kidding, Sister Mu, do you really want to exhaust me? If I had that 100 percent stake, wouldn't I have to worry about everything, I'm not that stupid. I said that I would get 50% of the shares in exchange for the design drawings. So be it. What Gao Xi said was true, but not completely, because he actually really wanted to help Xia Mu.
"But if you're going to invest $2 million, then we're going to have to give you another 20 percent of the shares, and that's something you have to accept." Shamu said.
"Seventy percent is mine? Then I'm too greedy, right? Gao Xi smiled bitterly.
"Oh, I've never seen someone like you, others want to have more shares, you're good, don't want to?" Lu Chengfeng said angrily: "Then it's better to be like this, I still have a million dollars in hand, let's invest it too, and then wash it and you will also invest a million, this 20% of the shares, let's divide it equally, in the end, you account for 60%, I account for 10%, and the remaining 30% is Sister Mu's, this is always okay, right?" ”
I have to say that this Lu Daxia is really smart, he saw Xia Mu and Ah Duo's reactions, and knew how good the design was, so he didn't hesitate at all, and prepared to take out all the one million US dollars he had saved over the years to invest in shares.
"I'm rubbing, you're so generous, a million dollars, I'm afraid this is all your assets, right?" Gao Xi said in surprise.
"Because I'm a smart person, it's clear that I'm going to make money, and it would be a pity if I didn't vote. But I only have 1 million, and if there were more, I would still invest in it. Lu Chengfeng said with a smile.
He didn't lie, he invested money just to make money, this person is good, he loves money and takes it in a good way.
Although I almost did a kidnapping before, I still didn't do it in the end, so that's it.
"I agree with this, Gao Xi, you won't refuse again, will you?" Xia Mu said with a smile as he looked at Gao Xi.
Gao Xi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just agree, but let's talk about the ugly things in front." I don't know anything about business management, let alone jewelry design, don't think that I have 60% of the shares like letting me manage the company, I won't take care of things, you can do it yourself when the time comes. ”
In fact, people who run a company are most afraid of shareholders interfering in their operations, which will be very restrictive and very difficult. Since this major shareholder doesn't want to take care of things, it's up to him, he doesn't care about it, if he wants to take care of it, it is estimated that it will become more and more chaotic, after all, he is not an expert.
"Don't worry about this, in fact, the remaining 30% of the shares are not mine, of which I account for 20%, the other 5% is Li Qiang's, and the other 5% is Ah Duo's." Xia Mu said with a smile.
To be honest, if there is no such division of equity, I am afraid that Ah Duo will definitely not be able to keep it.
"Rachel and Colette don't have shares, everyone is the founder of the company, it doesn't seem fair, so let's not give more, just take out four percent of the shares, let the two of them divide it equally, don't underestimate the four percent, maybe millions or tens of millions of dollars in the future." Although Gao Xi does not understand the company's management, he understands how to make people die for themselves.
This studio, who can stay, has a high level of loyalty, and is also willing to work with Xia Mu, give them a little share, and let them work with peace of mind, he thinks there is nothing wrong with this. After all, he has 60% of the shares, and he takes out 4 percent, and there is still 56 percent left, which still accounts for the absolute majority, and this company is his after all.
"I'll give it, how can I let you give it." Xia Mu said hurriedly.
"I said Sister Mu, don't fight with me, okay, this studio was originally created by you, and now I have stepped in and taken nearly 60% of the shares, and I don't feel good anymore, so you can make me comfortable, ah?" Gao Xi smiled bitterly.
"Yes, Sister Mu, you know Brother Xi, if he says it, it won't be taken back, as long as you can make the studio bigger and make more money, then it will be a great favor for him, this kid likes a carefree life, then it takes a lot of money." Lu Chengfeng also persuaded.
"Okay, okay, I really can't talk about you. Rachel, Colette, and Gaucy's words, you've all heard them, so I said that as long as you are willing to stay, you will definitely succeed, sooner or later. Thank you, Director Gao Xi. ”
"What kind of director is not a director, why does it sound so awkward, I am a few years older than you two bluffs, just call me Brother Xi." Gao Xi laughed.
"Thank you, Brother Xi." Colette said excitedly that he originally just came to this studio to experience life, and other companies looked down on him, but he never expected that a little bit of persistence would make him one of the shareholders of this company, although there are only two percent of the shares, but the shareholders are shareholders, and they can pay dividends, which is different from ordinary employees.
"What should I do, Brother Xi, I like you more and more, let's fall in love, shall we?" Rachel grinned.
"Rachel!" Xia Mu glanced at Rachel, there was really nothing he could do with this guy.
"Oh, I know, Mr. Xia likes Brother Xi, so he doesn't want me to pursue it, okay, I'll sacrifice it and give Brother Xi to Mr. Xia." Rachel grinned.
"You're talking nonsense again, be careful if you talk nonsense this month, and the bonus is gone."
"Don't, don't, Mr. Xia, the company's finances are just better, so don't deduct my bonus." Rachel said hurriedly.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that the situation in your company would be so difficult. To be honest, I didn't want to start a business at the beginning, because I thought I couldn't do it at first, and just renting a place was a headache. I thought it was like this in China, but I didn't expect the United States to be like this, your garage looks good, but don't blame me for saying, this is really not a place where a powerful company should stay, in China, when others talk to you about business, the first thing to look at is how your company is located, if you stay in this corner, rent a garage, then others will definitely not do business with you, because they will think you are a liar.
