Yang Jinxia watched Chen Xu bragging from the side, and could clearly feel that he had become thicker-skinned. Not only that, his temperament was also somewhat different from before.
It seems that Luo Xiyun's departure has brought him some significant changes.
She closed the plan, and this action made Liu Shanshan stop talking and look at her.
She said, "The plan is well written, but there are a few items that need to be changed."
Chen Xu was very calm and had no emotional fluctuations. When he asked her to invest, he was mentally prepared and asked, "Which ones?"
Yang Jinxia looked at Liu Shanshan and said, "Go back to the company first and prepare to hand over the work at hand."
"Okay, Mr. Yang, goodbye, Mr. Chen." Liu Shanshan stood up, said goodbye and left.
After she left, Yang Jinxia said, "Let's talk in the car."
The two got into Yang Jinxia's car, the same business car they took last time.
After the car slowly drove out, Yang Jinxia said, "Twenty million in exchange for thirty percent of the shares is not fair to you."
Chen Xu was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "Now, in the era of capital being king, if I go to find other investors, I will definitely have to accept more stringent conditions. 20 million in exchange for 30%, I think I'm already taking advantage of you."
"Since the beginning of this year, I have been seeking transformation, and my main goal is the direction of artificial intelligence." Yang Jinxia suddenly talked about something unrelated, "In order to complete the layout, guess how much money I spent? Five billion, this is just the initial investment to get the entry ticket. It's still a long way to go before we can really achieve results."
"Now, do you still think your company is only worth more than 60 million?"
Chen Xu didn't know what to say for a moment, mainly because he was shocked by the number she mentioned. Five billion was just the completion of the preliminary layout.
For the company he is planning to start now, input method and online translation are just appetizers. In the future, artificial intelligence and other things will definitely be launched.
"This 20 million is only the first round of financing. Once you have captured a certain market share, the speed of burning money will become faster and faster. By then, it will be the second and third rounds of financing until you go public. In order to grow rapidly, you will have to introduce other investors. And your equity will be diluted to a dangerous level. Even if I help you stabilize the situation, it will still be a blow to your prestige."
Yang Jinxia's tone remained calm, "In the business world, you can't be so emotional. You have to know that love is the most unreliable thing in the world. Maybe one day, we will become enemies. Then, I may kick you out myself."
Chen Xu found this a bit irritating and said, "You won't."
"I'm just giving an example." Yang Jinxia's tone became somewhat helpless, "If one day you run into Luo Zhenghai in the business world, and you give in to him because of Xiyun's relationship, you will probably be cheated to death by him."
Chen Xu said, "Don't worry about this. I know very well what Luo Zhenghai thinks of me. I will never give him such an opportunity."
"In short, I don't agree with this plan. You don't want to take advantage of me, and I don't want to take advantage of you." Yang Jinxia's tone was firm.
Chen Xu was somewhat helpless. The reason why he proposed such a distribution plan was because he felt it was a bit embarrassing to ask his woman to invest. He would feel more comfortable if he gave her more shares.
However, she was right about one thing. Today's Internet has been monopolized by a few giants. If you want to grow, you can't bypass them. You must accept investment from one of them, and in order to avoid being swallowed up, it's better to bring in a few more to balance it out.
By then, his shares will definitely be diluted. After a few times, if the shares become too small, he may really lose control of the company. This must be prevented.
He asked, "So how do you think it should be distributed?"
"One hundred million, 20 percent. According to your plan, you will have to spend a lot of money to promote your input method. Twenty million won't last long, and you will have to raise funds again. It's better to do it all at once. With this money, you can spend it for a longer time."
Chen Xu looked at her and nodded slowly.
After the negotiation, all he had to do was wait for the company to be established, the contract to be signed, and the funds to be in place. His net worth instantly reached 400 million. Although it was only wealth on paper, it was still quite exaggerated.
…………
After Chen Xu separated from Yang Jinxia, he looked at the car driving away with a wave of anxiety in his heart. He owed her more and more, and he didn't know when he could pay her back.
If it weren't for her, it wouldn't be as smooth as it is now. Just to attract investment, it would take a long time, and I might be forced to accept very harsh conditions.
After a while, he gathered himself together and walked to where he had parked his car.
At this time, it was already past four in the afternoon. He had lunch with Yang Jinxia and talked a lot about entrepreneurship. She was an investor and had a lot of experience in this area. She gave him a lot of useful advice.
He drove to Wanhua Company, but this time he was not going to look for Luo Xiyun.
Although he has been busy with software these days, he can still find out about Luo Xiyun's latest situation through Dai Zixin every day.
The day after that incident, she went back to work at the company. It was not until two days ago that she asked for leave, saying that she was going to travel abroad.
He didn't go to look for her, not because he couldn't get away, but because he didn't want to escalate the conflict. Dai Zixin said that there were always a few people in black clothes who looked like bodyguards following Luo Xiyun in the company, and they always waited outside even when he was at work.
Obviously, these people were sent by Luo Zhenghai. Of course, these people were no match for him, but what happened after they beat him up? Luo Zhenghai might have sent someone to record the video. Now is the period of cracking down on gangs, so he might be put in jail.
More importantly, he knew very well that normal means would not work if he wanted to win back Luo Xiyun. He had to take some drastic measures. He had to wait for an opportunity.
As he was thinking, he arrived at Wanhua Company. He took out his cell phone and called Lao Tang.
After a while, Old Tang came down.
The two met in a cafe downstairs, and Chen Xu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have implicated you this time."
Old Tang was quite carefree and said, "I was able to get a promotion and a raise thanks to you. Although I have been transferred to another department, my position and salary have not been reduced, and I have more free time."
Chen Xu heard him speak easily, but he knew that it was not the right way to calculate. Now the focus of Wanhua Company's work has shifted to the electronic sales department. Old Tang was transferred away, just like being exiled. It is not an exaggeration to say that his future is ruined.
Old Tang was worried about him and asked, "As for you, do you have any major problems with Mr. Luo?"
"It's a big problem, but I can handle it." Chen Xu said, "If you are not happy working at Wanhua, come to my place. I'm about to open a new company and I'm in need of a trustworthy person to help me. If you come here, you'll be the head of the advertising department. The salary and benefits will be the same as at Wanhua."
Old Tang was surprised. "You are going to start a company again? What company is it this time?"
"I'm an Internet company that makes input methods. I've already received 100 million in angel investment. Otherwise, go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law."
"One hundred million?" Old Tang looked at him in shock.
