Chapter 177: Moving Forward Together, Laboratory Access

Two more days passed, and Zhou Rui lived a regular life as usual. In addition to reading books to gain experience and exercising, he only communicated with Zhang Zhihao and Li Yuehua a few times every day.

Everything is going well with Li Yuehua. The candidates who will be brought back from South Korea have been determined. Li Yuehua carefully selected 11 people, five men and six women, all young people with excellent business skills, good looks and good character.

Of course, character is always changing.

But now, these people have been suppressed there for so many years, and their psychological expectations are very low.

Many people come back for jobs as dance and vocal music teachers, but they just want a job and a stable job, which is easy to control.

According to Li Yuehua, when he met Song Ting, he thought that the other party's statement that she couldn't eat was an exaggeration.

I only found out after meeting several candidates in person.

That’s really not enough to eat!

Since there is no office space there, Li Yuehua usually interviews in restaurants, coffee shops and other places.

These Chinese trainees finally found an opportunity to improve their food. The kimchi was served with rice. Li Yuehua felt distressed when he saw it. He thought to himself that these fellow trainees in South Korea really don’t treat people as human beings.

Especially not treating Chinese as human beings.

Li Yuehua has sent the information and videos of these eleven people back to Zhou Rui for review. So far, the quality is indeed not bad, but these people have to wash away some bad smells after they come back. South Korea Some things don't need to be left behind.

Of course, it will take some time before these people officially come back. Everyone has some procedures to deal with. Although trainees are very mobile, it does not mean that they can leave anytime and anywhere.

As for Zhang Zhihao, it's a little more complicated. The investment company behind Minengwen is called "Sui On Venture Capital". At least this is the title used when investing in Internet companies.

This is a very formal investment company. Although Mi Nengwen mediates and promotes it, there are no shortage of procedures that must be followed.

According to the results of the current negotiations, the amount of A-round financing of "Ele.me" is basically the same as the historical trajectory, 20 million yuan, which is known to the outside world as "millions of dollars". This is also a kind of publicity, helping Ele.me get into the sight of capital. , also warms up the B round and attracts the next investors to enter the market.

Of course, for Shui On Capital, this is just a small investment, 20 million, so sprinkle it on!

It was only the price of two or three houses in Jiangwan Hanlin, and the amount they invested in the movie "Warring States" was much larger than this.

According to the agreement, Hungry Me will sell 20% of its shares. After a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division algorithm, the total valuation will reach 100 million.

This is the speed of expansion in the era of capital carnival.

This 20% will be sold by the core team and angel investors, which is the process of dilution.

If Zhou Rui was just an angel investor, then this round of "transfer" would basically mean that he was targeted, or even driven away directly.

This reflects the correctness of his previous strategy.

Zhou Rui is not only an angel investor, but also has a complicated identity. He is also a core team member, an investor, a brother, a friend, and has a close relationship with the employer Mi Nengwen. He is both public and private, and he is full of buffs. , so it basically maintains the same proportion of dilution as Zhang Zhihao, Kang Jia and others.

After the transfer is completed, everyone, including Zhang Zhihao, Konka, Zhou Rui, and Shui On Capital, will jointly build a 10% "employee incentive stock pool". This part is basically locked, and anyone who comes in the future must maintain it as it is.

Zhang Zhihao is about to transform from a "credit card guy" to the CEO of a company valued at 100 million, completing his first identity transformation.

It is precisely because of this era that many "Zhang Zhihao" have achieved legendary rapid rise, which has enabled countless young people to start their own businesses one after another.

Of course, the valuation of 100 million is just the value of the company "Are You Hungry" in the capital market, not Zhang Zhihao's personal takeoff.

The capital strictly stipulates that investment funds can only be used to expand the company's business and are strictly prohibited from being used for the founder's personal consumption. Zhang Zhihao cannot cash out the shares within three years and cannot transfer them privately.

He has to keep working hard before he can achieve his ambitious goal.

Zhang Zhihao briefly took off for 5 meters, and finally regained his feet immediately.

The only thing he could do was to give himself a relatively generous salary.

20,000/month.

From then on, he realized the freedom of twice-cooked pork at the "neighborhood Sichuan restaurant". "One portion per person" is no longer a mouthful, he can really afford it now!

The interlocking credit cards have also been untied. According to Zhang Zhihao, he is only two boxes of instant noodles away from losing his trust in the credit cards.

In fact, the salary of the founder is also said to be high.

Investors don’t want to be taken advantage of, and if they offer too low, the founder will feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Zhihao did not speak loudly just because of the successful financing. The fire in his heart as an entrepreneur has not been extinguished. He really does not care about the immediate interests, only for the greater future, which is what investors most want to see.

Zhou Rui and Mi Nengwen would nod happily behind the back of his hard work.

Of course, Zhang Zhihao is not tough enough. Some ruthless bosses, in order to show their determination, give themselves an annual salary of 1 yuan.

Details are still being refined, including how to burn the 20 million, what goals to achieve at each stage, and what KPIs to formulate, all of which are being discussed in detail.

Zhou Rui received a call from Deng Xiaonan on Monday.

Deng Xiaonan: "Teacher Arui, the college has approved you to join the 'Metal Magnetron Sputtering' laboratory, and the project leader has also agreed. You can report at any time. You can contact Teacher Wu Huamin directly and he will handle the relevant procedures."

Zhou Rui smiled. Yes, yes, the college is quite fast.

He can finally participate in scientific research. Just reading books will not do scientific research.

Then Zhou Rui's smile disappeared soon.

"By the way, the school teacher asked me to ask you to participate in the top ten campus singers competition."

Zhou Rui laughed dryly: "That's not necessary. I'm a professional and I won't participate in this kind of competition."

As an investor in a startup company with a valuation of 100 million, a well-known songwriter in the music circle, and a future young scientist.

You want me to participate in the top ten campus singers?

The most important thing is that he may not win. His vocal talent is not very good. What if a monster comes out and loses, wouldn't it be funny? !

Deng Xiaonan: "The school said that if you are willing to participate, you can skip the audition and directly advance to the semi-finals."

Zhou Rui's face froze: "Really, I won't participate."

Can't you offer better conditions? How dare you say such conditions?

Deng Xiaonan was not very surprised by Zhou Rui's refusal, but just conveyed the school's idea as a routine.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to him, but it's a pity that I can't hear Teacher A Rui's singing."

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "It's all on QQ Music, welcome to listen to it more."

I can't listen to it when I have nothing to do, just play it in vain, the kind of single loop.

I have money to make.
