Chapter 032 [Go or Stay]
Luo Sheng decided to expand the company's staff to about 100 people, now there are enough funds, but will not be blindly wasted, these money as much as possible to use the company's development and growth, now save with future financing to get more money and sell less shares.
In the afternoon of the same day, I found an office space, and quickly signed a one-year contract, located in the building of "Jinmao Building".
The 5A-level office is located in the city center and the surrounding environment is also extremely complete with medical, transportation, shopping and other supporting facilities, with an area of more than 800 square meters.
At 16:45 in the afternoon, the contract was signed with the owner, and then Luo Sheng planned to move the office from the original studio into the Jinmao Building in three days.
At about 17 o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Sheng and Erin were waiting at a waiting station on the street, and the matter of the office space was quickly finalized, and they were ready to meet the Bluestar Technology Studio.
Luo Sheng smiled: "Our company is now like a serious company." ”
It's not easy to start a business, it's just a cow and a horse, and you have to fight with VC, and if you don't want VC to die, you have to deal with them.
However, doing what I am interested in is tiring but also very rewarding.
In terms of travel, Luo Sheng also pondered that he needed to be equipped with a means of transportation, and it was too wasteful to wait for a period of time to go out to do some things.
Sister Erin, who was standing next to her, suddenly said, "Brother Luo, it's almost time to eat, why don't we eat outside first and then go back." ”
Hearing this, Luo Sheng replied without thinking: "I'm not hungry." ”
Erin: "......"
Am I hungry?
The girl was so angry with him that she stomped her feet.
……
After returning to the studio, Luo Sheng called Bai Lang, Feng Yi, Lu Siming, Su Yali and Erin, who had a grudge, to the living room lounge, and Luo Sheng glanced around at everyone.
"We are all students, and there is a very important thing to discuss with you."
Everyone listened carefully, Luo Sheng paused for a moment and looked at them and said sincerely: "I am really grateful to you for joining the team in the most difficult early stage of the company's entrepreneurship. The company is now on the right track, Dayong and I have already decided to drop out of school, but you are still students, and the company will move to Jinmao Building tomorrow, and the five of you have to make a choice, whether to drop out of school like me and Xu Yong to become full-time entrepreneurs, or stay in school. ”
"If you choose to stay in school, I will pay each of you a cash reward of 280,000 yuan to thank you for your contribution at the beginning of the company's business, which is the amount after tax; If you choose to drop out of school and stay with the company and become a full-time employee, you won't have the money, but each of the five of you will immediately receive 270 options in the company. You certainly won't be able to afford that much money to buy these 270 shares, and I can give you at least a 10-year vesting period as a special treatment for the initial team. ”
After speaking, Luo Sheng looked at Bai Lang and Feng Yi, as for Erin's sister, this Luo Sheng has a little headache, this sister is chasing in secret, and she was pretending to be stupid just now, and on the way back, the sister's resentful gaze can still be felt.
At this time, a few of them calculated in their hearts that this could undoubtedly be a major life-changing choice, and also calculated the value of the 270 shares. With the completion of the pre-A round of financing, the shares of Bluestar Technology have increased to 220,000 shares, that is, the current valuation of each share is 5,000 yuan, and 270 shares are 1.35 million yuan.
This is an option stock to be bought with money, and it costs 1.35 million to buy it.
In the future, the company will grow and develop, and even if it is successfully IPO listed in the future, the value will be higher, and the 270 shares will not be a dream in the future, and even higher is not impossible, the greater the contribution, there will be higher option rewards, and everything is possible in the future.
Feng Yi and the others couldn't help but flutter in their hearts when they thought of this.
"I'm willing to stay with the company."
At this moment, Erin smiled and took the lead in making a decision.
"I'm dropping out of school too!"
"I continue to stay in the company."
"All the same, I believe that following the boss can make a big career."
"If you don't read, drop out!"
Soon, everyone made a quick decision, and no one chose to stay in school.
Luo Sheng still looked at them solemnly: "Of course I am super happy to stay, but as your leader I need to be responsible for you, don't make a hasty decision, this decision may have a huge impact on your future life, the company's current development momentum is very good, I also believe that the future can be successful, but what will be the result in the future, we don't know, IT Internet is an industry that changes every year or even a month." ”
Bai Lang and Feng Yi are excellent or not, it is not yet completely clear, if they are simply measured by their current ability, Bai Lang and Lu Siming can only be regarded as excellent programmers at most, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, and Su Yali is the same.
But it's really hard to say what the future achievements will be when they are so young.
Youth is the greatest capital, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely grow.
Feng Yi is quite good.
However, Luo Sheng still reserved shares from the option pool and allocated 270 shares to each of them, because they are the initial team members of Bluestar Technology, and it is impossible for them to operate as well as the company in the early stage of development, which directly leads to Luo Sheng's negotiation with VC people to have a greater say, because the company has good development in the early stage, has a high valuation, and has less equity to invest in transfer.
On the contrary, the valuation will inevitably decrease, and it is possible that the equity sold after the investment is obtained by 10% or even more.
This time, Luo Sheng only allotted shares to Bai Lang, Feng Yi and a few of their initial team members, which was also the decision after discussing with Qin Weimu and asking her to help the staff analyze.
Lu Siming said firmly: "Boss, I have already thought about it, this is my decision, and I am willing to take potential risks for it." ”
The others also nodded their heads to indicate the resolution, they were all eighteen years old and adults, and of course Luo Sheng didn't say anything more when he made it clear again, and said with a smile: "This will be the wisest decision in your life, believe me." ”
Everyone inexplicably believed his words, and nodded heavily.
After finalizing the problems of several of their current students, everyone returned to their respective jobs.
Over the next three days, the company began an orderly relocation.
From the birth of the 407 dormitory, to moving into this studio, and now moving to the business office building of Jinmao Building.
The relocation of the company's office also symbolizes and witnesses the startup's growth from scratch.
……
Three days later, the Golden Trade Building.
Early this morning, Luo Sheng took the last group of people of the company to the new office space, and today the company completed all the relocation work.
There are several other companies on the floor, two of which are also Internet companies, one is a game company, and one is an animation production company.
They already knew that a new company had moved next door, and they were very curious when they saw all the faces of college students.
"What kind of company is next door? Why are they all student faces? ”
"Bluestar Technologies."
"Bluestar Technology? Tech companies? ”
"Internet technology companies, you don't know Bluestar Technology, it seems that your brain needs to be updated, don't look down on them are all college students' faces, let me tell you, the Internet industry has been lively recently, and Bluestar Technology is the focus of recent Internet news, the blue space social networking site is developed by this company, this is currently the hottest social networking site on the Internet, almost all college students are using it, guess how much this company is valued?"
"How much?"
"11 billion, yes, you heard it right, it's 1.1 billion, it's the news that came out a few days ago, and it's been in the industry for a long time, if you don't believe it, you can go to Google."
"My God, valued at 1.1 billion ???"
"This is not the most exaggerated, according to media reports, several VCs jointly invested 77 million during the pre-A round of financing, and only got 7% of the equity."
"How many VCs in the pre-A round of financing add up to only 7%? They're funny, aren't they? Or is there a lot of money and nowhere to spend it? ”
"Who knows......"
There were employees in several companies next door chatting and discussing, but Luo Sheng didn't know about it and didn't care.
"Wow~~ This is where we will work in the future?"
Erin looked around at the office space and couldn't help but light up.
After entering the office space, the team members who came for the first time were curious to take a look in the office hall, and some also went to the windowsill to look out into the distance, with a good view, and they could have an unobstructed view of the city.
The team members are very satisfied with the new office environment, frankly speaking, everyone was embarrassed to tell their friends about their work before, but now it is different, at least working in Jinmao Building, it is decent to say it.
Everyone walked around to take a look, Luo Sheng immediately came to his CEO's office, and now there is also an independent office, the site has expanded, and there are several independent offices, such as Qin Weimu, as the company's CLO, also has an independent office.
There is an LCD monitor on the desk, which is still very backward for Luo Sheng.
Bluestar Technology has also ushered in a new stage of development.
