Chapter One of the Night

   Chapter 126 Tacit understanding

   "Hello, Mr. Ma!"

   "Hello Mr. Xu!"

  The time is December 10th, Friday, morning.

   The location is Mosaic Technology Company in Yanjiao Town.

   After several months, Xu Zhenghua finally saw Ma Ji again.

But even in this meeting, there was still very little smile on his face - it seems that he has a serious face every day. .

   In fact, he should have been laughing.

   But still serious.

  The conditions have been negotiated. Xu Zhenghua came here today to sign the contract.

  Because the other two were intimidated by the high asking price of Mosaic, they directly withdrew from this financing, so of course the conditions have to be adjusted moderately - if there is no adjustment, Majida will not cost the purpose of financing.

After two rounds of negotiation that were not difficult, it was finally decided that Xu Zhenghua invested 3.2 million yuan to get 8% of the equity of Mosaic Company, plus a director-this means that the final valuation of Mosaic Technology was lowered a little, from 4250 million, adjusted to 36.8 million.

   This will most likely be the penultimate round of financing before Mosaic seeks to go public. In the next round, financial capital will be released to prepare for the listing.

   The condition that Xie Shuyi won for Xu Zhenghua is that in the next round of financing, Xu Zhenghua will have the right to follow the investment to ensure that he will have this seat of director in the company.

   This condition should have been extremely difficult to obtain.

Because if there is no intermediate round, the next time the financial capital enters the market, Xu Zhenghua's equity will not be diluted, and his 8% will be retained until the eve of the listing - which almost predestines him to get no money after the listing. less than 5% equity.

   But under Ma Ji's tacit approval for some unknown reason, Xu Zhenghua got this condition smoothly.

   So the contract was successfully signed.

   In fact, just two days ago, Xu Zhenghua was taken by Xie Shuyi to a local bank in the imperial capital and signed several loan agreements.

  Zhenghua Music pledged a loan of 3 million with the copyright of "First Experience of Love" held in its hands and unaccounted income to support the expenditure in the next few months.

  Xu Zhenghua personally used the copyright and unaccounted income of "First Experience of Love", as well as the future copyright income of four songs including "Short Hair" and "Thousand Thousand Que Song" as collateral, and loaned 4 million yuan.

   Before signing these loan agreements, Xie Shuyi also made a trip to the record company on her behalf to settle the royalties of the four songs including "Thousand Thousand Que Songs" and settled more than 2 million.

  Last week, Xu Zhenghua earned about a million in business performances.

   Remove the 600,000 yuan for Xia Jingjing's house purchase, and set aside a 20% down payment of 1 million yuan for Xie Shuyi to buy a house. Xu Zhenghua now has more than 7 million yuan in his account.

   There is no problem to cope with the 3.2 million of this investment.

Zhenghua Music's account also has more than 3.3 million in cash. No matter the daily expenses, or the release of Xu Zhenghua's singles and albums, including the release funds of Yuan Wei's "Our Love", there is no problem. ——Temporary calculation, Zhenghua Music's current account funds are basically negative, but the key is that he has already stored a considerable number of high-quality copyrights, just waiting for the works to be released, each capital is an ATM!

   Therefore, the issue of funding does not exist for Xu Zhenghua at present.

  As soon as the investment agreement was signed, everyone was his own, and Ma Ji's smile seemed to be a little more. He even invited Xu Zhenghua and Xie Shuyi to his office and poured a glass of wine each.

   Talking about his product plan and launch plan, he gradually became excited.

And the key is that he likes Xu Zhenghua's statement very much: Xu Zhenghua's money comes in, although he wants to take away a seat on the board of directors, he does not participate in the daily management and operation of the company, and he also promises not to interfere with Magee's business decisions, but will regularly Auditing, supervising the use of company funds.

Investors like    are of course the most popular among entrepreneurs.

   "I'll make you a lot of money!"

Ma Ji shook the wine glass in his hand, his expression was confident and hawkish, and he had an indescribable arrogance, "In the first half of next year, we will successfully complete the final financing and go public in the second half! Money, when it can be cashed out, at least double it! Two years, at least double you!"

   Xu Zhenghua responded with a laugh.

   In fact, according to the gameplay of those Internet companies that he had heard of in his previous life, if an Internet company has gone public and only doubled the investor's money in two years, it would be an extreme failure!

But of course, the Internet is still a new concept that is too new to be new. What will the future of the Internet be, where will it be exported, whether it will even have prospects, and whether Internet companies will be able to go public are still completely unknown. Therefore, Magee What I'm saying now is just bragging.

  Perhaps he is convinced that people who are at the forefront of the times always have a mysterious self-confidence, which supports them to achieve the great cause of opening up a new era.

   But apart from him, probably someone like Xu Zhenghua would really believe it.

   Otherwise, the other two investors will not retreat in seconds because Mosaic's asking price is too high.

   In short, it was a pleasant meeting.

At 10:30 in the morning, Xu Zhenghua left, and Ma Ji arrogantly only sent it to the door of his own office, but Xu Zhenghua didn't take it at all. After going downstairs with Xie Shuyi and getting into the car, he drove straight to the nearby several kilometers away. Another company of the company - a company that is also associated with the apple orchard.

   is called "Golden Wharf Technology Co., Ltd.".

This company specializes in the research and development of commercial switches, and it is also a start-up company. At present, it has a number of patents in its hands, but the research and development is still in the tough stage-because it needs to bypass many patents of a domestic company specializing in telephone switches. So this step is difficult.

   They are going to raise 1 million yuan and recruit a group of scientific researchers to speed up the research.

   This is their first round of financing, so in theory, it’s an angel round.

  The sense of smell of capital is extremely keen most of the time.

For example, with the smooth progress of the domestic information superhighway plan and the launch of many small websites in the second half of the year, Oracle's stock price has been rising in the past two months, and the direction of browser development has also begun to be explored. want to contact and understand.

   But most of the time, capital is particularly short-sighted.

The concept of   Internet has not yet fully emerged. It can only be regarded as a topic that is being discussed in the investment circle, but there are not many people who are really willing to take risks and test the water at this time.

   They are tentatively extending a finger to test the water temperature.

   is either greed or fear.

  Golden Dock Company has contacted many private investment companies and even a large investment bank before. Everyone expressed their interest, but after two or three months of talks, none of them came to a conclusion.

   A somewhat exaggerated investment company that only gave 200,000, but asked for 10% of the equity.

   Purely test the water play.

   Some are willing to spend 500,000 yuan, but ask for 20% of the equity - if the angel round does this, even if the company can be listed in the future, the company will no longer belong to the two founders.

   Although the founders are all technically oriented, they are not stupid.

   It wasn't until they met Xie Shuyi that the two sides negotiated a result that satisfied each other.

   Because Xu Zhenghua firmly believes that he will win, he is not afraid of losing, and the purpose is just to get on the bus.

   So the conditions are much looser than others.

The final result of the negotiation was that Xu Zhenghua invested 1 million in exchange for a 16% stake in the Golden Wharf Company. The company will not set up a board of directors for the time being at the start-up stage, and everything will be decided by the shareholders' meeting. Let Xu Zhenghua try to send two people in.

With this 1 million capital coming in, it is enough for Golden Wharf to burn for about half a year. If the technical breakthrough can be completed within half a year, then the next round of financing can take advantage of the situation - that round of financing, you can Considering the problem of organizing production, the Golden Wharf can already be regarded as a bit of a climate.

   Of course, if the expectations are not met and the money is already burned...

   In short, it is quite enjoyable.

  The two founders of Golden Wharf are both engineering-oriented and not very talkative, but they are obviously people who can do things-this makes Xu Zhenghua very satisfied.

   In the company's next round of financing, Xu Zhenghua will have the right to guarantee that the bottom 10% of the equity will not be diluted. Once the equity may be diluted to less than 10%, he can follow up and participate in the investment.

   In the next round, he still has the right to 8% equity not to be diluted.

   In the final analysis, the main reason is that the current capital does not really favor their relationship with these companies, which leads to the fact that these entrepreneurs are not strong enough, so they can get good financing conditions.

   In Xu Zhenghua's view, it may only take another year before it will be difficult to obtain such conditions again.

   After the signing was completed, I drank a glass of water in the offices of the two founders, but finally declined the invitation to stay for lunch, got into the car with Xie Shuyi, and went back to the imperial capital for dinner.

   Sitting in the car, Xie Shuyi was obviously relieved, but she couldn't help sighing, "More than four million yuan, it's just spilled out, I don't know if I can see the money back."

   Xu Zhenghua laughed.

   He stretched his arms around Xie Shuyi's shoulders and said with a smile, "The big deal is to make up for it, it doesn't matter."

  Xie Shuyi turned her head and glared at him, "Nonsense! I negotiated it for you. Even if you don't blame me, I will blame myself! More than four million yuan is enough for me to earn a lifetime."

Xu Zhenghua continued to laugh and put her head against her head, "It's alright! More than that, let's continue to invest, I will strive to put all the money I earn before the first half of next year, and don't ask for more. , just ask to get in the car, let's vote for him in ten or twenty, and if one of them can finally run out, it will make a profit! Then I won't have to sing hard, and you can be a rich family with peace of mind. How wonderful, ma'am!"

   Xie Shuyi rolled his eyes at him.

   But this time, she didn't dare to mention Xie Shumin's name again.

How to do it?

   It seems that persuasion is not good, this time they are both so persistent!

   As long as he mentions Xie Shumin's name, his face will stiffen, but that silly girl doesn't know it yet, and she still refuses to bow her head - but she can't, Shumin will hate herself for the rest of her life.

   "By the way, didn't you just buy 2 million oracle bone inscriptions for you a few days ago? Yesterday I looked at the closing price. You have already earned about 150,000, and you have a good eye!"

In the past six months or so, as the achievements have become more and more successful, the well-behaved little junior brother by my side has become more and more domineering, and even now I have to slowly adjust to live with him. "But now Jiang Xiaomi is still laughing at us for buying blindly!"

   "Buying blindly? Bah! You can see it after half a year!"

   Xu Zhenghua answered in a big way.

   But it soon became apparent that something was wrong, "Huh? Are you talking to her too?"

  Personal relationship belongs to personal relationship, which involves the topic of client's asset allocation. In fact, as his private accountant, Xie Shuyi is obliged to keep his investment confidential.

But Xie Shuyi pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I took out all the money I had saved for the past two years. If I trust you, I also bought 50,000 yuan with you! I told her that you recommended it to me. "

  What?

not bad!

   "It's not bad, don't worry, I'll make it for you! I'll make it up for you if you lose!"

   He slapped his chest to make sure he was going.

   But Xie Shuyi answered him with a smile, "You are not afraid of losing two million, what am I afraid of?"

  …………

  The battle was fierce.

   The ringtone of the mobile phone rang out of time.

   has been with Xia Jingjing for several days in a row, and even Xu Zhenghua deeply felt that he was almost trapped in a gentle village, so today he decided to go home and live.

   As a result, Yuan Wei was thirsty for it again.

   Xu Zhenghua's previous comments are not nonsense, Yuan Wei is indeed more seductive than An Xiaojing.

   So she turned the fire up again.

   Each has its own style.

  Xu Zhenghua is young, has a foundation in martial arts, is in good health, and has a large displacement. Just a little bit of the accelerator will make him overspeed.

   I didn't want to worry about it, I held Yuan Wei's waist and watched her disheveled emotional ups and downs, it was a pleasure, but the phone rang endlessly, so Xu Zhenghua had to take a look.

   is actually An Xiaojing.

   With a move in his heart, Xu Zhenghua connected the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, An Xiaojing's laughter came over immediately, making Xu Zhenghua shudder, "Hahaha, when did I race with a wheelchair? Still... still... Still losing? Hahaha... "

   She smiled almost uncontrollably.

  Xu Zhenghua was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. It seems that "Face to Face with Celebrities" on Qilu Provincial Television was broadcast.

   In the sound of "pop", Yuan Wei kept moving, and Xu Zhenghua replied with a smile: "Make it up!"

   I don’t believe that you can’t hear the movements over there.

   But, An Xiaojing couldn't help laughing, as if she didn't hear it, she just urged, "Turn on the TV now, your interview is on, it's interesting. I'll watch it with my parents!"

understood.

   Inconvenient to express opinions.

"I'm……"

  Yuan Wei grabbed the phone with his hands and hung up, "I'm almost there, please concentrate!"

   As a result, when Xu Zhenghua turned on the TV and found the station, the program was almost over.

  Yuan Wei casually wore a T-shirt and ran to the living room to watch TV.

   She was also laughing back and forth.

   In the past month, Xu Zhenghua has recorded a lot of shows, but this scene of "Face to Face with Celebrities" with Miss Lu Tao on Qilu TV Station is definitely a peak performance.

Especially in the second half of the recording, anyway, the show has already run out of line, and it can't collapse anymore. Xu Zhenghua simply talks nonsense, almost opening his mouth is a joke - you can see the reaction of Lu Tao, who is occasionally cut to the camera in the show, She was completely stunned at the time, and she couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

   I really didn't expect that the Qilu Provincial TV station was quite bold, and if it collapsed like this, they dared to cut it according to the original conversation idea, and dared to broadcast it like this.

   Their host, Lu Tao... is actually somewhat embarrassing.

   At least as a host, anyone with a discerning eye can see that her rhythm control is completely gone, and the whole show has completely turned into Xu Zhenghua's personal talk show.

   This is very negative for the host.

   Alas, well, I owe the lady a favor.

  …………

   After the program ended, Xu Zhenghua got up and went to take a bath.

  This time, Yuan Wei didn't bother to wash together, he was sneaky, and when Xu Zhenghua entered the bathroom, the sound of water splashing came out, and he picked up his newly bought mobile phone.

   It only took two or three minutes before her cell phone rang.

   is directly connected.

   "Fuck you uncle!"

   On the other end of the phone, An Xiaojing cursed.

   "Fuck off! Can you change a new word next time, my uncle is annoying you! You're a different person!"

  Yuan Weida responded in a loud voice.

  An Xiaojing was instantly dumbfounded.

   After about five seconds of silence, she straightened her breath and said, "I was watching TV with my parents just now. As soon as the call was connected, I was so frightened that I hurriedly covered the phone. Can you **** stop next time?"

   "Stop it, it's just your phone that makes me unable to get on or off, I don't blame you, it's good!"

   "Superior?"

   "Ang! What's the matter?"

   "Your physical strength is so good, I can't stand it!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Yuan Wei laughed, but quickly covered the microphone carefully, glanced at the bathroom with his head, and whispered: "I told you to exercise, but you don't listen, tell you, it's cool to be there, like... hahaha, Do you understand?"

"Grass!"

  An Xiaojing scolded.

   But soon, Yuan Wei whispered again: "Hey, Jin Xiaoqing hasn't come back recently, right?"

An Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, "I didn't hear that! Isn't she making money in Xinqiongzhou? I think it's pretty cool, I'm so jealous, I'll go again when my album is released! Oh, you don’t know, it’s so cool to make money over there, the appearance fee is double that of the domestic one, and the ghosts are screaming, ha, it’s cool!”

If it was a normal chat, Yuan Wei would be sour at this time, and he would be somewhat sarcastic, but this time, she did not, instead she whispered: "Don't talk about that, let me tell you, I think he may have been raised outside again. One!"

"what?"

  An Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, "What do you say?"

Yuan Wei immediately analyzed, "You haven't come over these few days, haven't you? He didn't come back to me, no one knows where he went! I went to the garage last night to see his car, which means that Brother Lu is back. Now. Think about it, Jin Xiaoqing is not at home and you haven't come here, where can he go? Did he raise another one outside? "

   "Fuck! You're really saying that... ah, is he..."

  Yuan Wei raised his head, recalled it for a moment, and said, "He's fine, he's still so fierce, but you don't know, when he first came back, he didn't seem to be interested in me!"

   "Then you guys just..."

   "Hey! Don't you look at who I am! In three minutes, his eyes turned red, haha!"

   "Bah! It's worth bragging about knowing you can lick, you really..."

   "You know shit! I take him as my future husband, unlike you!"

   "Fuck! I'm the one who takes him as my husband. As for you... hehe, don't make me look down on you. Why do you and his... have to let me tear off your fig leaf?"

   "Oh, I'm not afraid to talk about this! We were in a good relationship at the time, who was going to slant the bar? Ah? Tell me? How did you hold that album?"

   "How about we scold again?"

   "Yes! Pull it down! It's boring, I'm tired of scolding you!"

   "Bang!"

   After a moment of silence, An Xiaojing suddenly spoke again, "Hey, how long are you going to be with him? After your first album is released? Or until you sign a contract with his company..."

   But before she could finish her sentence, Yuan Wei had already interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense!"

   She vowed, "I said it all, I will take him as my husband!"

   An Xiaojing breathed out from her nostrils and snorted.

   But he didn't say anything to refute.

Yuan Wei didn't explain anything, but instead asked: "What about you? When this album is released, it's almost time to separate from him, right? After all, you're already so popular, and it's still a few underground lovers. One of the lovers must be unhappy, right?"

   "Thinking beautifully! We are in a fight for the rest of our lives! I will never leave him!"

   Yuan Wei nodded.

   All of a sudden they understood each other's thoughts.

   Sure enough, it was right not to continue arguing.

   They all made up their minds from the very beginning. Once I became popular, I would try my best to get out of his control, and I would not give him any more underground lovers, and there was no future to snatch, so I would argue.

   "Your next album, will you find someone else to write songs for you?" Yuan Wei asked.

On the other side of the phone, An Xiaojing was silent for a while, but in the end, she chose to be frank, "I will consider keeping it for you when I receive a song that I can't sing, but people may not wait so long for you, you Didn't he sign two albums? When you jump out, it will be the Year of the Monkey."

   But she didn't expect that Yuan Wei's backhand was a knife, "Keep it for me? What are you thinking! I will never quit my job in my life! I want to be with him for the rest of my life!"

  An Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, and then she was so angry that she scolded, "Fuck you, Yuan Wei!"

   "Your uncle!" Yuan Wei scolded back without showing weakness.

  An Xiaojing suppressed her voice again, "Agreement?"

   "What tacit agreement?"

   "No one should take this complaint! It's not good for either of us to inform each other, right?"

"Okay! Well, let's say it, and I won't file this complaint in the future. But other things are not listed here. If I don't sue you, or you don't sue me, he will doubt it! He is a fine man. Very good!"

   "Okay! That's it!"
