Cheng Yu said: "Let me guess, is there a proposal to let you directly cash out the shares promised to them according to the current valuation?"

Liu Dongqiang was startled again, and the boy next to him asked directly, "How do you know?"

"I guess. But it's not difficult. After all, you actually took it upon yourself to value the company at fifteen million. To be honest, this valuation is too high, and I know that you have to raise the valuation because you consider that there are too many shareholders in the company, and there will definitely be people who want to cash out after the financing. However, no one will give you such an estimate. Under the premise of such a high valuation, even a stake with only three points is worth 450,000. Now, you just told them that they would be paid 10,000 yuan a month for three months, how could they possibly agree?"

"But they did only do the bare minimum, and I'll admit they worked hard for three months, but all the ideas and ideas were done by the five of us, and they just finished some code on top of our ideas. The other said eagerly.

"So, how did you dare to promise shares in the first place? Even if you feel that you are understaffed, all you should have done was to promise a higher salary, and then tell them to wait until the financing is in hand, and you can even promise a part of the bonus. ”

Liu Dongqiang and his classmates fell silent, and it was clear that the two of them had turned a corner and began to realize that they did not understand the operation of the business at all.

The lobster was brought up, and Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Your business has just started, all your mistakes can be made up in time, don't be too frustrated, no one is born to know how to start a business." You are already quite lucky, the first time you start a business, you can actually go to the level of almost getting venture capital, how many people, the first three times of entrepreneurship, simply do not even see investors, can only go to work after the funds are exhausted, save money, and then carry out the next business. ”

Liu Dongqiang and the classmate named Fu Ming seemed very depressed, and they were not even interested in eating lobster.

"Let's eat something first, don't worry about these things, we've already met, just talk slowly." ”

After eating a few lobsters, the mood of the two finally improved, after all, they were young and still very enthusiastic.

"If you'd like to, can you tell me a little bit about how the five of you got together, and who came up with the original idea for this software?"

Liu Dongqiang peeled the lobster and said, "Actually, Mr. Cheng, you want to ask me, whose ownership of this software is?"

Cheng Yu smiled, noncommittal, and said, "It's okay for you to say that, but you don't have to think too darkly about people." When I received your call, Mr. Guan told me that the five of you are also in disagreement now. What I was saying at the time was that I didn't want to see that, because I felt that since the five of you started together, you should go back and forth together. ”

Liu Dongqiang understood Cheng Yu's subtext, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm thinking too much." ”

After a pause, he said: "The original idea was mine, and then Fan Chenjing and I, oh, are another classmate who is engaged in design, my classmate, and we have always been in the relationship of the next shop." As soon as I told him, he thought it was feasible, and then found his fellow countryman, that is, Xu Zijun. After Zijun and I researched, we felt that these were practical, so we began to write preliminary designs and programs, and Fu Ming and another classmate joined later, both of whom were good friends of Zijun. ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Good friend, now I am obviously on your side." You must have had a direct conflict with Xu Zijun at that time, right?"

"I can't talk about the conflict, it's just that I saw the situation of those people at that time, and to be honest, I was really chilled, especially after someone proposed to take 450,000 directly. I said to Zijun, perhaps, Mr. Cheng, your suggestion is the only correct, but Zijun resolutely opposed, at that time, only Fu Ming was on my side, so the two of us left. ”

"Well, can I understand it this way, in fact, the ownership of your product is mainly in the hands of you and Xu Zijun, after all, you two are the direct manufacturers of the prototype of this product. ”

Liu Dongqiang didn't say anything, but Fu Ming said: "The two of them are embarrassed to say that, but the other three of us think so." Therefore, when the software was registered, it only used the names of both of them. ”

"Then the two of them are really good to you, they are the real core, you are the second-level core, but even so, they are still the same shares as you hold. ”

Fu Ming stuffed the lobster in his hand into his mouth, nodded heavily, and said: "So, when I realized that what you said was the only feasible and only correct way, Mr. Cheng, I told Qiangzi that if we can finally get the venture capital, the shares should indeed be redivided, Zijun and Qiangzi should be higher, and we should be lower." Priorities must be separated. ”

Cheng Yu picked up his glass and said, "Come, congratulations on finally taking the real first step in entrepreneurship and beginning to understand that the operation of a business is not workshop-style." ”

The four of them had a drink together, and Guan Lu said: "We have all understood the situation, now it is time for you to tell us, what are you coming to us for?"

"I think we might really be separated, after all, the gap in philosophy is no longer bridged. ”

This time, Liu Dongqiang did not hesitate, it seems that the two of them have already discussed it on the way here.

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "I really don't want you to separate, this is not for me to frame the façade myself." When there is a disagreement, kick the entrepreneurial partner out, which is not the right thing to do. ”

Liu Dongqiang hurriedly defended: "No, no, Mr. Cheng, you misunderstood us." Fu Ming and I just thought that we would make it clear to Zijun and the three of them, if we really can't agree on the same opinion, then the core program of this software, we use it separately, after all, from the core program to the finished software, the framework may be completely different. I think Zijun would agree to this approach. ”

"If you do this, it will make the valuation that I am prepared to give you further reduced. Because that means that you already have an almost identical product from the time you even finish it. To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea. If you do this, neither you nor Xu Zijun will get enough investment, which will directly affect the quality of the products you produce. ”

Liu Dongqiang and Fu Ming were a little dumbfounded, they looked at each other for a moment, and Fu Ming said, "So, Mr. Cheng, can you give us a suggestion?"

"It's very simple, go back and tell everyone that the five of you will withdraw your shares collectively. This product only belongs to you and Xu Zijun, and those classmates in your company can't have the complete code in their hands, right? The core code should only be controlled by you and Xu Zijun. ”

Liu Dongqiang and Fu Ming nodded, and Cheng Yu continued: "You take the core code, as for the code in their hands, even including all the hardware of the company, give it to them." ”
