Ju An had to celebrate with a few people, two foreigners and two Chinese opened a bottle of champagne together, and then gave four glasses to the full, look at the front desk There are still two or three plates, one plate is a cookie or something like scones, the other two plates are some cut fruit, several people took a small plate together and pulled a little and put it on the plate, Ju An also made two small scones to taste, and found that the taste was not bad.

Liu Chao said happily: "The cookies and fruits are made by Sarah herself, how does it taste."

"The cookies taste so good, they're the best cookies I've had since I came to the U.S.," Juan complimented after taking a bite.

Sarah was very happy to hear Ju An say this: "Ann, you can eat more if you like, when I come to work in the morning, if they work all night, they will bring some to these two, fortunately they like it too."

William chimed in and said, "Sarah's cookies, we sometimes work overtime until the morning, and we wait for Sarah to come."

Ju An asked strangely: "Didn't you say that the software is almost there, why do you have to work overtime so late?"

Liu Chao explained: "Some functional extensions, we contracted to some domestic software developers, and when they stayed up all night, they usually discussed the program with them, and now it's basically the same, your sister-in-law also has an opinion, saying that she didn't go home for a long time, and asked me if there was someone outside last time."

"Sister-in-law is too unconfident, just a crooked melon and cracked jujube like you, that girl can look at it" Ju An listened to Liu Chao's answer and glanced at Liu Chao with disdain.

William and Sarah laughed when they heard Ju An's funny words, making Liu Chao blush.

After eating for a while, Sarah said, "It's not early, my children will be back soon, I'm going to go first, you guys be happy" After saying that, she packed up her things and prepared to leave.

William and Liu Chao both said to Sarah: "Be careful when driving, see the little one say hello for us".

Sarah said "thank you" and opened the door and went out.

There are only three people left in the house, William and Liu Chao, Liu Chao said: "Our first list has been completed, and now there are a few customers who are very interested in our products, and the prospects are good, this time you are here to talk about venture capital, last time a venture capitalist took a fancy to our company, wanted to invest, and invested four million US dollars again to occupy 25% of our shares, let's discuss."

Ju An said: "Now the company is very short of money, so anxious to find venture capital, those guys eat people and don't spit out bones."

William explained: "It's just a risk-sharing, they are optimistic about our company, they invest money, and we get the investment, we can develop faster, it's just a win-win situation."

Liu Chao said: "Actually, I also agree with the introduction of venture capital, and they also have a certain number of contacts, that is, I want to lower the shares, at most 21 percent, the three of us will take out some of the shares in exchange, I have discussed it with William before, and now I propose to see your opinion."

Ju An thought for a while and said: "Since it's not just a matter of money, then I support your decision, I thought the company was short of money again, if I want money alone, I still have some, four million is no problem, if I have connections, I know the two of you now, and there is really nothing else."

Liu Chao smiled and said: "Then we will each take out about seven percent of the shares for this financing, if they don't agree to twenty-one percent then we would rather not raise the financing, then Anzi, you will invest another three million, and William and I are taking out seven percent of the shares and handing them over to you, what do you think."

Ju An thought for a while and said: "There is no problem on my side, everything you discuss, I don't know much about these software things, the company depends on the two of you, if the venture capital side does not agree with me to inject 3 million, the two of you will give me 5% each, anyway, you will run the company."

William thought about what he was about to say, but was interrupted by Liu Chao and said, "That's okay, just do as you say."

Then the three of them talked about the company's environment, and when they mentioned this, Ju An said: "I thought you rented a house in an office building, but I didn't expect that in this remote place, you said that your early money could not be reflected on the surface, and the whole company was like a refugee camp."

William laughed when he heard it and said: "Many companies started like this, where did they have so much money to spend on these at the beginning, it is better to hire a good programmer if you have money, compared to many companies renting in garages, we are already good."

Liu Chao said with a smile: "Yes, our conditions are already very good, now there is a coffee area, an entertainment area, everything, and a lounge, the conditions are very good."

Ju'an took a look around, a coffee bar, two resting chairs, is the so-called coffee area, entertainment area? A couple of old desks, which must have been bought from a second-hand store. I thought to myself: This is the condition is good? It's too unimpressive. Thinking about it again, these two guys stay anyway, and I don't have to stay here, so my heart is a lot more balanced, and I immediately feel that these two people don't pursue personal enjoyment, which is very reliable. If you put it a few months ago, Ju'an could mix such a big place, let alone the office, even if you live here every day, Ju'an will raise your hands and feet in favor, since you have two dollars, you don't look down on this kind of house.

Ju An said: "Have you taken into account that in China's domestic market, there are a lot of domestic companies like you who can use software."

Liu Chao nodded and said: "There are a lot of companies that can be used, but it is difficult for such a small company as ours to enter." You also came from China, don't you know the situation in China, we are a small American-funded company that has no reputation and no background, and it is too difficult to enter the domestic market."

Ju An said: "Why don't you ask Wang Fan and see if he can help."

Liu Chao shook his head and said: "I have already asked Wang Fan, he said that we don't have a model, just find a bigger company to use our software, and he can't open his mouth to those companies in Jiangnan, the key is that we are not famous."

William asked curiously: "It's the small business, our software is cheap enough, and they don't have to pay for those modules that they don't need."

Liu Chao shook his head and said: "You don't understand the situation in China, our thinking is very different from that here in the United States, and you can't understand it when you say it."

William took a sip of champagne and stopped talking. After a while, they closed the door and went home.

When Liu Chao drove the car and took Ju An back to the house, Zhao Nan went to visit and didn't come back, so the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room and drank a bottle of beer.

Ju An said to Liu Chao: "You asked me to come here for this matter? Won't the phone call or the E sister be solved, as for letting me go so far away?"

Liu Chao smiled and said: "The main thing is this, take you to meet the partner, the company has been running for a long time, and one of the shareholders has not shown up."

"You don't talk to me about this, I don't understand the programs you play, if you let me understand sales, I will sell a toy, and the rest will not be" Ju An said confidently.

Liu Chao nodded Ju'an's chest, then took a sip of beer and shook his head: "These two million, you are so relieved to let me toss, are you not afraid that I will finish tossing?" ”。

Ju An smiled: "Don't worry, I'm equivalent to engaging in venture capital, two million to buy a good look at you, I think it's worth it."

Liu Chao touched the beer in his hand with Ju An's, turned his head, and said to Ju An: "Your senior brother and I also fought hard, if this is done, we will villa and yacht, it is estimated that my brother's house and car are gone, and I will follow you to herd cattle in the future, and the second half of my life will be accompanied by six animals, which is also a kind of life."

Ju An raised his hand and said, "Don't, just have a foodie in the ranch, and it's over."

The senior brother who listened laughed.

"Now that I'm done, I'll go back to-morrow, and I'll have to brush the horse every day," said Ju An.

Liu Chao shook his head and said, "You also took this excuse?" Stay for two days and help me renovate the roof of the house."

"Fix the roof? I've never done it before, why don't I spend money to hire someone to repair it, I'm hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, can I go with you to repair the roof?" said Ju An.

Liu Chao continued: "Fart, you are not sleeping at home, the old beauties in this community are all renovating their own roofs, basically looking for friends to help, I have lived here for so long, and I have also helped several families repair the roof, in fact, it is very interesting like a labor class."

Ju An shook his head and said, "Don't try to fool me, I haven't seen any winds and waves."

Liu Chao continued: "What did I lie to you about, or should I take you to my garage to see my brother's equipment?" ”。 With that, he stood up and pulled Ju An to the garage.

When I entered the garage, I saw that there were all electric drills, chainsaws, screwdrivers, axes, chisels, and a small weeding machine.

Ju An said: "You are still full of tools, you have lived in the United States for a short time, and you have become a carpenter."

Liu Chao proudly raised the beer in his hand and said: "When I first came, I didn't, I lived here for a while, and those old aesthetics, the men in every family in the community basically know these, to say that the old beautiful man has a very strong hands-on ability, many people build a small house, barbecue table, no need to invite people outside, directly ask a few friends, buy materials and DIY yourself."

Ju An asked, "Don't have to pay?" ”。

Liu Chao explained: "Every time everyone asks someone to insist on paying, some people accept it, some people don't accept it, whatever, the day after tomorrow I made an appointment with a friend I knew, let's do it together, and it will be completed in two days, you kid don't run, it's also a labor force to work below."
