It's nothing new for founders to be swept away by their own businesses.

Xinlan, Vanke, pretty Jiangnan, the prince's milk, the new wind of the aunt's dumplings, Jinling's old lady's catering......

They all have one thing in common, and that is that after the success of the company, the founder is kicked out.

In 2003, ordinary people who would care about what equity structure!

But in 2022, the unlucky stories of these entrepreneurs are everywhere on various short video apps such as comics, fast feet, metasequoia, and winter melon.

You only need to watch one of these things, and big data will push all the same stories to you.

The more you look at it, the more you look at it.

Blanched, it turns out that I'm not the only one who is unlucky......

Oh, and there's someone who is even more unlucky than me, so happy.

In particular, after the company was acquired, the founder of a hotel once wrote an article "I sold the hotel, I got drunk and slept on the road for a night", which was quite widespread.

Some people even say that the founder is the surrogate mother of the company, and when the company grows up, the investor is called Daddy.

Wu Dong used to see these things as a joke, but now he has also begun to study the shareholding structure.

A business is like an entrepreneur's child, and every entrepreneur wants to be in charge of their own business.

But when people are poor and short-sighted, when they look at their company's monthly expenses of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions, the founder often has to bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

In order to get investors' money, many business founders engage in round after round of financing.

Mu Shengnan is now engaged in the initial round of financing, and after this round is over, Wu Dong, Mu Shengnan, and Li Ran will still own 80% of the equity......

Then whether to engage in Series A financing or Series B financing, Wu Dong hasn't thought about it yet.

If you don't have money, you have money, you have money, you have power, and if you don't control this kind of thing, there will be no end to it.

A young husband can't go without money for a day, and a big husband can't go a day without power!

With the platform of microbroadcasting, at least in the entertainment industry, Wu Dong can be regarded as a prince all the way.

……

Han Sanqiang pondered for a moment and looked at Wu Dong, "It turns out that you are afraid of this." ”

"Brother, are you also defending?"

Wu Dong laughed, "How is it possible, what is our relationship, how can I have today without the support of your third brother." ”

Wu Dong patted Han Sanqiang, "We are like brothers, of course this matter is not impossible." ”

Han Sanqiang was triumphant, "I knew ......"

He was only halfway through his sentence when Wu Dong answered, "However, you have to add money!" ”

"Get out!"

"Hahaha......"

After laughing for a while, Han Sanqiang said seriously, "If you really want to start, there will be a special team on my side to do this.

Let's talk casually, 50 million is only 10% of the shares, you are a little dark. ”

Wu Dong smiled, "Actually, I'm under a lot of pressure right now. Do you think the coal boss is really stupid and has a lot of money?

There is no shortage of professionals in the world, they don't know how to spend money to hire people, and accountants and analysts can't be hired if they have money.

Actually, Li Qi told me that Zhang Qianshan's family also found a special team to analyze my Langlang Media, and the valuation they gave was 0~1 billion, and 1 billion may be worthless! ”

Han Sanqiang grinned, "If it's not called venture capital, nine losses out of ten are the norm!" How can there be so many entrepreneurial geniuses! ”

He stood up and poured two more glasses of wine, and handed the wine glass to Wu Dong, "50 million, it has doubled, and I have lost all my money." What is the coal boss? ”

Wu Dong looked up at Han Sanqiang, his expression was very solemn,

"They don't understand the Internet, they invest in me as a person.

Now I'm not fooling around, I'm going to be responsible for their 50 million from the day I promised them. ”

"50 million," Han Sanqiang muttered.

They are all in the same round of financing, and there is no difference between them, and everyone understands this truth.

Wu Dong Studio, Director's Office.

"What did Mr. Han talk to you about?" Mu Shengnan asked.

"It's still an investment thing, he wants decision-making power, he doesn't want to be a simple financial investor." Wu Dong took the coffee handed over by Li Ran and took a sip gently.

Li Ran glanced at him strangely, "Didn't you say ...... at first?"

"In the beginning, I just wanted to make money, now I want more?" Wu Dong said in a deep voice.

Li Ran and Mu Shengnan glanced at each other, not surprised.

Wu Dong looked up at Mu Shengnan, "How did you arrange it tonight?" ”

Mu Shengnan smiled slightly, "Have a meal with potential investors first, this time I need you to draw a wonderful blueprint for success......

"I understand! It is to draw a big pie for them and strengthen their confidence in investing. And then what? ”

"At 9 o'clock, I met with Mr. Chen at the café on the 23rd floor to chat and listen to what he wanted. Although Wang Haihua is Teacher Chen's agent, she can't completely make decisions for Teacher Chen.

And I suggest that I make it clear to them during the meal, even if they are financial investors, they have the right to know where their money is spent. ”

……

6 p.m., North Xinjiang Hotel on the 22nd floor.

In addition to Zhang Qianshan and Yuan Lili, Han Sanqiang and Wang Hai also came, everyone sat down and talked if they were interested, and the specific operations, various contracts and agreements will naturally be carried out by professional institutions.

But this seemingly casual meal and chat is the real decision-making moment, and the fake process behind it is a formality in comparison.

said that it was to eat, except for Wu Dong and Li Ran, no one was serious about eating, they all came to listen to Wu Dong looking forward to the future.

Wu Dong doesn't know how to draw cakes, he just describes the application of microbroadcasting in general.

"If I had turned on Weibo, I would have known about the award yesterday as soon as I posted it, and everyone who followed me would know.

You don't have to call me one by one and reply to me directly below, and who is friends with whom, just look at their microcast interactions at a glance......

Weibo is a society on the Internet, and almost all celebrities from all walks of life will have a Weibo account in the future.

Whether you are an individual film and television actor or a corporate group, you must have a Weibo account.

The size of the influence is clear as long as you look at the number of followers, and the number of followers of the top microcast may exceed 100 million ......"

Wu Dong just talked casually, and these listeners were dumbfounded one by one.

Wu Dong glanced at a few people, and said in his heart, 'This is shocking? It's so uninsightful. ’

Wu Dong originally planned to give them a good swing for what kind of micro-broadcast super talk and other applications, but then he didn't say anything, there was no need.

In 2003, in the era of no smart phones, it was really difficult for people to imagine what the network society was like......

Tell them, will they believe?

It's impossible to believe it.

Even in 2023, Wang Wang's experts also said that the mainland's high-speed rail has no backrest.

……

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Wu Dong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel and looked at the night view outside the window.

It should be no problem to invest in this area, but Cen Daoming is a little difficult here?

Seeing Ding Dayong's performance in the Jianghu Billboard become popular overnight, this guy regretted it.

Now he wants Wu Dong to get him a script.
