Chapter 731 of the text is the concern of the founder of ATI

Next chapter

He Guoyuan returned to Toronto with excitement and apprehension, and told the other two co-founders of Ati, Benny Liu and Liu Likai, the news of the financing.

The ATI company was founded in the garage of the He family, which is both an office and a production workshop. Liu Benny, Liu Likai, and He Guoyuan are all older young people in their early thirties, and all three of them are immigrants from Hong Kong and Taiwan, with the same cultural background.

He Guoyuan sued Liu Benni and Liu Likai for the news of the financing of 4 million US dollars, and both of them couldn't believe it. As the company's vice president of R&D, Liu Benni is still just a light commander, and He Guoyuan, as the company's general manager and sales president, often helps when he has nothing to do.

Liu Benni had some different opinions, and after thinking about it, he still said his thoughts: "Guoyuan, I think it is better to consider it again, the total shareholding ratio of general seed investors and angel investors should not exceed 30%, and definitely not more than 40%!" Now Lin Qiangsheng wants to account for 65% of the company's shares, so that he has an absolute controlling stake, so that the company's control will be sidelined, what will he do in the future? ”

He Guoyuan frowned, nodded and said, "What Benny said is also right, but I always feel that the other party does not have the idea of controlling the company." ”

He said to Liu Benny: "If you see Lin Qiangsheng himself, maybe you won't think so!" ”

He Guoyuan's mind couldn't help but think of the three Colombian girls in bikinis in Lin Qiangsheng's villa, they were maids during the day and masters at night

In the villa, He Guoyuan didn't sleep much all night, the first half of the night was difficult to fall asleep listening to the movement, and the second half of the night was simply insomnia. The next day he escaped early. At that time, Lin Qiangsheng and the three girls were sleeping naked on a big bed, and they didn't mean to wake up at all.

He Guoyuan hurriedly shook his head, driving those fragrant pictures out of his mind, and he asked Liu Likai in a straight color: "Akai, what do you think?" ”

Likai Liu is the vice president of strategic planning for the company, a three-person company. Every official is not small, and he is very ambitious from the name!

The vice president welcomed Lin Qiangsheng's entry, and Liu Likai said excitedly to the two: "Don't you think that less than half a year after we established the company, someone is willing to invest 4 million US dollars, which is a big victory?" ”

He Guoyuan nodded in agreement, and Liu Benni also admitted that Liu Likai was right. To be honest, what do they have, the garage in front of them is borrowed from He Guoyuan's family, and they just took out the finished product two months ago. In the corner of the garage are stacked with more than a dozen boxes containing products. Even though they worked hard to contact the business, until now, the total number of orders for graphics cards has not increased to 1,000 pieces.

It can be said that the ATI company did not even earn the first pot of gold, and it was just starting out, and at this time, someone invested 4 million US dollars to come in, could it be their products?

There are countless graphics card companies, and there are many companies with better technology than them. What exactly did they like about ATI, and the three of them couldn't figure it out in their hearts. In the end, it can only be attributed to the love of being Chinese!

Liu Benny still said: "However, the shares of the general investor must not exceed the founder, otherwise it is easy for the investor to control the company!" And if this investor's stake reaches 65%, in case he interferes in the work in the future, the three of us will not even have the slightest room for resistance! ”

Liu Likai argued with him: "However, although according to the rules, the investor's shares must not exceed 40%. But have you ever heard that there are investors with less than 40% of the shares? As far as those in the start-up companies are concerned, not all venture capital shares exceed 40%, and in the end, the founders can only hold a small number of shares, Akai. That's the reality! ”

He turned his head to He Guoyuan and said: "This Lin Qiangsheng wanted 65% of the shares at the beginning, I think he invested 4 million US dollars to come in, and it is understandable to ask for these shares, now what we can do is to do a good job in the product, make the company bigger, and we can talk about other things when we have capital." ”

Seeing that the two of them were a little moved, Liu Likai continued: "As for the future, although there are risks, we must make a preventive plan in advance. You can sign a contract with Lin Qiangsheng, stipulating that he can't kick us out of the company, let alone dilute our shares, and the company's shares will be recalculated according to the growth of market value in the future! It is also necessary to stipulate that he cannot forcibly control the company, we must take ideas in terms of personnel and finance, and the management of the company cannot be compromised, which is the best of both worlds I can think of now! ”

He Guoyuan and Liu Benny both nodded, and Liu Benny even said: "We can also bring in another investor and let them cooperate to participate in the shares, so that Lin Qiangsheng's share capital can be reduced!" ”

He Guoyuan was very moved by these opinions, but he also said with some concerns: "If another investor is brought in, will it cause Lin Qiangsheng to be disgusted, and he can also reduce the investment amount!" ”

Liu Likai disagreed with such a lose-lose proposal, saying: "If we do this, it will definitely make the investor feel that we are guarding against him, and there will be a gap between the good cooperation of everyone." I'm not in favor of finding another investor, at least not right now! ”

He then said to the two: "And, most importantly, don't you see the benefits of Lin Johnson's stake in the company? That's obvious! ”

Liu Benny looked at him suspiciously, and He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Akai is right, I specially learned about this Lin Qiangsheng, although this person is very young, only in his early 20s, but his achievements in the United States are not small!" ”

Liu Benni asked curiously, "Who is this Lin Qiangsheng?" ”

He Guoyuan said to the two: "This Lin Qiangsheng founded Dongxing Semiconductor Company, which is a company that produces microprocessors, and has a wafer factory, packaging and testing factory. This is a large semiconductor manufacturer capable of producing integrated circuits, discrete devices!

In addition, Compaq and Dell were also founded by Lin Johnson, and he also has a Pentium computer company, which you have probably seen before, and has a high market share in North America, reaching 40%!

Moreover, not only in the field of semiconductors, Lin Johnson even has a large automobile manufacturer in the United States, called Saturn Automobile Company, which has just acquired the American automobile company AMC, I was also very surprised to see his introduction, this young man has made such great achievements in the United States, not worse than Wang An, it is really not simple! ”

Liu Benny was so shocked that Cheng Dù didn't believe it, and he asked in surprise: "Compaq, Dell, and Pentium were all founded by this Lin Johnson, as well as Dongxing Semiconductor?" Is he Chinese? ”

As a R&D person and a technical nerd, he knows these computer brands too well. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, there is very little news in the computer field in the United States, and what comes is also published in English-language newspapers, and generally non-professionals do not care much about who the company is, and it is all in English.

However, computers printed with Compaq, Dell's Chinese logo are selling well in Hong Kong and Taiwan, industry insiders know that in the United States, these two computer brands are also among the best, even better than IBM, IBM computers are used a lot in large enterprises and governments, but because of its expensive price, small and medium-sized enterprises are not the best choice, more will buy Compaq and Dell products! ”

At this time, the three of them looked at a Compaq computer and two Dell computers in the garage, and their eyes were full of shock.

Mr. Liu Likai laughed, then clapped his hands and said: "It is amazing that the Chinese also have such accomplished people!" What is especially rare is that this Lin Qiangsheng is still so young, he is considered a contemporary of us, and he feels much better than Wang An's old man! Haha"

Thinking of the scene in the fast food restaurant, He Guoyuan also had to nod and say: "Lin Qiangsheng is indeed very popular in the United States, and the same is true for me on the West Coast, especially those Stanford college students, who are even more sought after by him!" It's just Lin Qiangsheng."

He Guoyuan thought of Lin Qiangsheng's luxurious and depraved lifestyle, but he could only shake his head with a wry smile, he felt that this young man was simply a gentleman, what kind of Chinese role model was said in the Chinese newspapers! (To be continued.) )
