"Don't think so. We need each other. From now on, you'll have to worry about the company's daily operations and external relations. My main focus will be on maintaining the development team and developing various products. With one of us in charge of internal affairs and the other of external affairs, combined, we'll definitely conquer a vast empire!"
The voice coming from the phone sounded quite exaggerated.
Chu Yinyin couldn't help but roll her eyes and said unhappily, "Everyone else's husband is the breadwinner and the wife is the homemaker, but why is it the other way around with you? I'm the breadwinner and you're the homemaker? You leave all the high-profile stuff to me while you just hide away in the background?"
"Hey, isn't that everyone doing their job? Also, regarding the company's equity split... if the one million loan counts as equity, how about giving you 10%? I don't really understand company valuations. Even though the product is ready, it hasn't actually been tested by the market yet, so let's just be casual and calculate it as 10 million."
Chen Yan's voice continued to come from the phone.
But when Chu Yinyin heard Chen Yan say that he would give her 10% of the shares directly, she exploded on the spot.
"Ten percent?! Are you kidding me?! Do you have any idea how valuable your company will be once it's up and running?! Even if you don't develop other products and just focus on the research and development of this large language model platform, your company will at least become a unicorn enterprise!"
A billion dollars! At least! And it definitely won't take too long to reach that valuation! I'll contact some relevant domestic internet companies to discuss cooperation and strive to promote the product as quickly as possible! I believe that with the intelligence of your product, it won't take more than a year!
If you continue to develop other products, or continue to build a product matrix based on this AI platform, the company's valuation will inflate like a balloon! A super unicorn valuation of tens of billions of dollars is definitely just the starting point for the company! Do you understand? You actually gave me 10%?!
Chu Yinyin's chest heaved violently. She bit her lip, tried to calm herself down, and then continued, "I know you hope to give me more, and I also understand that you made this decision not only out of consideration of interests, but also emotional factors.
But 10% is too much, anyway. I only invested a million in the company. If I were to split the shares, even if it meant I were starting a business with you, 0.5% would be too much. After all, the product is yours. What I can do is just icing on the cake.
Of course, considering that I'll be managing the company as the executive director, and I'll also need to use my family's background to help you with some official matters, 0.5% isn't very convincing. I think... around 2% would be more reasonable."
As soon as Chu Yinyin finished speaking, Chen Yan's voice of objection rang out from the other end of the phone: "What's the point of 2%? Ten percent. After all, you're a partner and you're responsible for managing the entire company. Ten percent is really not much.
Some people can hold over 20% of the shares, but they don't do anything else and just lend their name to others. Your 10% is nothing. It's nothing."
Chu Yinyin was at a loss for words about Chen Yan's reaction.
In her opinion, the founders of companies that anyone with a discerning eye can see have great prospects will always hold on to their shares tightly.
Because even if it is just one point of shares, once the company really develops, it may make a huge difference of hundreds of millions or even billions.
She had never seen anyone like Chen Yan, who was still in the start-up phase, so eager to give out so many shares.
However, although she would definitely not agree to Chen Yan's almost ridiculous share distribution, putting aside the facts, from a personal perspective, Chen Yan's willful behavior still benefited her greatly.
This not only reflects Chen Yan's importance to her, but also allows her to feel her own value!
As for whether there is money or not, at least to her, it is not important.
"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. I've already said what I wanted to tell you. After we hang up, remember to have your technical team build the platform. I'm not familiar with your situation, so platform maintenance, subsequent development, and all other technical matters are up to you. If I need your support, I'll communicate with you in advance."
Chu Yinyin couldn't control the upward curve of her lips, and spoke in a deliberately cold tone.
"Why aren't you discussing this? What are you trying to do? Secretly set the share transfer agreement at 2%? Don't be silly, as long as I don't sign, the share transfer agreement won't take effect. I may not understand the law, but I understand this. So I'm telling you, it's at least 10%, no negotiation."
Chen Yan yelled loudly on the other end of the phone.
Chu Yinyin's smile grew sweeter, and she didn't even notice the hint of blame in her tone as she said, "I know! But 10% is really too much. How about this? I'll invest another 5 million as a stake, and I'll set it at 5%.
As for the other 5%, I will set up an incentive mechanism. When the company develops to the standard of a super unicorn, that is, the market value is determined to exceed 10 billion US dollars, then I can purchase the other 5% of shares from you at a certain price.
This price needs to be lower than the market price, but not too low. It needs to meet certain standards. I'll discuss this with the finance department later. Okay, this is the bottom line I can accept. Stop talking and get to work! I have to get busy too!
After saying that, Chu Yinyin hung up the phone directly, and then she stared at the phone screen in a daze.
She believed in her own judgment. The large language model provided by Chen Yan was more powerful than all the models on the market combined!
Furthermore, since the technical team behind Chen Yan was able to develop this level of artificial intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult to develop other products around the platform and form a true ecosystem.
If they can really do it, then she and Chen Yan... seem to be ushering in a whole new era!
Thinking of this, Chu Yinyin suddenly became so excited that she couldn't control herself!
This is the opportunity she has always dreamed of!
