Chapter 17 The First General Meeting of Shareholders
"According to the current Company Law, technology investment can account for up to 70%. Therefore, I think Duke's software can evaluate the 70% stake in the price, and the remaining 30% will be divided according to the amount of capital contribution. Although I and the Crazy Man still take a big advantage according to this proportion, but the Company Law stipulates that Duke will suffer."
Cai Siqiang's new plan shocked Duke and Dong Feng. The jumping level was too great. Just now, Duke proposed to divide it 100% according to the amount of investment. Cai Siqiang pulled it like this, and he suddenly became only 30% left.
"This is not right. If you do this, you will suffer a lot." Duke shook his head and said. Cai Siqiang's actions mean that he became the absolute major shareholder. Duke felt as if he had taken advantage of everyone.
"We are not at a loss at all, Duke, let's put it this way, once this company is established and the software is released, as long as the download volume exceeds 10 million in half a year, I am sure to sell the company to venture capital for at least 100 million US dollars to get the first round of investment. Think about it, how much is this 30% worth? I promise that the 30 million US dollars will also make those venture capitalists cry and beg us to invest!" Cai Siqiang said in a stern manner.
"Caicai, it seems that the position of this company, CEO, is the most suitable for you. None of us is more proficient in business operations than you. It would be unreasonable if you don't come to do it. For the sake of your friends' dream of billionaires, you must support this company. I will take charge of the technical matters, and you will host the operation. Crazy, you might as well quit your job and let's do it together. Let's cooperate well and work together to make a name for yourself." Duke sincerely invited.
Although Cai Siqiang looks unreliable in normal times, Duke is completely impressed by his performance today. His ability to open a company seems to be more than ten times better than that of himself and Dong Feng. No one can see on weekdays that Cai Siqiang, who has always been careless, is familiar with the company law, and is a bit of a hidden character. He is also clear in public and private affairs, which is completely worthy of his trust. If such a business talent can really help him in business, it will be of great benefit to his future fortune.
To put it as the saying goes, what is the most expensive in the 21st century is not a talent. In the future, Duke must have the assistance of talents from all aspects to complete it. Otherwise, no matter how skilled the technology is, the business operation will not be successful. If this company can really develop rapidly under the management of Cai Siqiang, it proves that Cai Siqiang is indeed a business material. Duke, who is aware of this kind of talent, will definitely be a comrade-in-arms who can rely on, and strive to create a new business legend together.
Duke knew that to convert the technology mastered by Kerry into real products and then into wealth, the biggest difficulty in the middle is not technology, but in business operations. Kerry can't help in this field at all. Everything depends on his own talent and hard work. Unfortunately, more than 20 years of experience have shown that he is too mediocre in this regard.
Facing Duke's invitation, Cai Siqiang was moved, but Dong Feng was a little hesitant. So sometimes vision determines your world. Cai Siqiang not only saw the great prospects of Duke's current product, but also found that Duke showed a nearly genius side in technology. However, Duke had not shown it before, but as soon as the voice input method was released, Cai Siqiang knew that at least in the field of voice recognition, Duke was already at the level of world-class expert.
The most important thing for a technical enterprise is to have one or two genius technical experts leading the way, so Cai Siqiang is willing to give up everything and work hard together;
Dong Feng is a little unsure about the prospects of this product. Perhaps as Cai Siqiang said, this product will become popular and will rise like a comet in a short period of time. But if it is not successful, his current job is well paid, and it will not be easy to find such a job once he gives up. Therefore, it is really difficult for Dong Feng to choose from this opportunity.
"I've done it. Duke, my brother is determined to make a fortune this time." Cai Siqiang said immediately, "Crazy, are you quitting your job or just investing in shares? Don't blame me for not reminding you that this matter has a great prospect and is worth doing a big deal." Cai Siqiang turned to Dong Feng and asked.
Dong Feng hesitated and thought for a while before saying, "I'll just invest in the stock. Duke, since Caicai is so sure, I'll invest in the stock, but I don't have much money, I'll invest in 50,000. I have to wait for my salary to pay in installments." Dong Feng was cruel and prepared to spend half a year of income. Anyway, he is still young, and if he loses the 50,000 yuan, he can afford it.
The voice input method developed by Duke is indeed magical. If you really want what Cai Siqiang said can sell hundreds of millions, the 50,000 he invested would be several times or dozens of times somersault.
This way, you can attack and retreat and defend, which is more secure. To be honest, Dong Feng is actually very satisfied with this job now. After all, he finally got it through five levels and six generals. It was a bit painful to give up like this.
"Okay, call Brother Wu and ask what he means." Cai Siqiang didn't force himself and immediately called Zhao Jianwu. Zhao Jianwu on the other side of the phone did not see the shocking demonstration on the scene, but he still said to invest 50,000 yuan, but he still had to pay the salary to get the money. In Zhao Jianwu's mind, the 50,000 yuan was just to attract the brothers' friendly sponsorship, and basically he didn't think much about the income.
As for quitting and working together, it is too early to talk about this now. After all, his job is even harder, and he can barely be considered a Jinling clan. It is not easy to give up now, let alone Cai Siqiang said on the phone.
After negotiations in this way, the new company developed four shareholders, including Duke, who was preparing to invest 500,000, Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu, respectively. Cai Siqiang originally wanted to get more money from his family, but in the end, considering the shareholding cut of the entire investment, he finally invested 400,000 yuan to become the second shareholder.
At Cai Siqiang's suggestion, the cash investment was equivalent to 30% of the shares. Therefore, Duke accounted for 15% of the cash part, Cai Siqiang accounted for 12% of the shares, and Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu accounted for 1.5% respectively.
The voice input software developed by Duke originally accounted for 70% of the shares. Duke took out 20% of them as a preferred voting stock that was encouraged by management. This thing was specially designed by Cai Siqiang for the shares given up by Duke. The purpose is to encourage management's work performance and participate in the company's profit dividends. On the other hand, it can prevent management from using these shares to infringe on the interests of shareholders, or even turn the tables on the contrary.
Although Cai Siqiang is now CEO, he has considered planning for the future of professional managers in the company structure. Of course, Duke, Dong Feng and others don’t understand these things. As for the company name, it is called Shengxun Intelligent Co., Ltd., sounddailtd, abbreviated as Sal
In this way, Duke's first company appeared. Duke, as the founder and CTO, is the company's largest shareholder, accounting for 65% of the voting shares and 5% of the preferred shares.
Cai Siqiang is the second largest shareholder, owning 15% of voteable shares and 5% of preferred shares, and Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu account for 1.5% of voteable shares respectively.
The company's cash investment reached one million, but it was all received in installments. Duke invested 50,000 in advance and Cai Siqiang invested 200,000. The remaining 10% of the preferred shares reserved for the company's future introduction of CFO and other executives.
Cai Siqiang had basically not done anything important in the company, so after submitting the resignation report, the company quickly approved the departure, naming the company, drafting the company's articles of association to register the company, registering the software copyright, evaluating the value of the software, finding an office and other related matters will naturally become the honorable responsibility of Cai Siqiang, a bare-headed CEO.
