Chapter 94 [Fang's flicker]

At around 17:30 in the afternoon, Fang Hong came to Quantum Beat Company. He came here today to start Pre-A financing for the company.

The five founders, including Xu Jingren and Lou Gaoyuan, were in the CEO's office early when they received Fang Hong's notice.

Fang Hong entered the office, and Yuan Jie, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said: "Boss, I suddenly feel that the way to open it is not right. Brothers are busy every day, and you are the easiest, and there are schoolgirls like He Xuan Accompanied by Zhi, it's okay to fall in love, before Lin Ruoshui, now Hexuan, it's simply a joy..."

Sun Xin also said seriously: "Second the second, the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong. I feel that the brothers are carrying a heavy burden, and someone is secretly enjoying the time."

Wang Ping sighed meaningfully: "How many of you know? He has changed since the day he soaked in Lin Ruoshui, and I have seen through it. Brothers who we agreed to at the beginning are like siblings, and women are like clothes. Now it seems that brothers are like the siblings of centipedes, and women are like winter clothes..."

Yo ho?

At a young age, you don't want to fight hard, but you start thinking about your sister? Dreams are starting to falter?

This kind of thinking is undesirable.

It seems that they need to be given more encouragement (ji) encouragement (tang), so Fang Hong sighed lightly and said: "Aww~, come on, it's really fun. As someone who has experienced it, I, a lesson learned from the past, will follow the brothers To be fair, it's best to talk about girlfriends as late as possible. After talking, you have to spend a lot of time coaxing to accompany you, otherwise I will make trouble with you. It is wrong to go into the house with your left foot today. Net output, and all kinds of troubles for you, it's really annoying, I'm in a pit, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing the doubtful eyes of the brothers, and the attitude of disbelief.

Fang Hong had no choice but to amplify his moves, instilling chicken (hu) soup (you) in his heart (ge) again, and then he said in an orderly manner: "I have recently realized a truth. Just two things."

Sun Xin subconsciously said, "Which two?"

The brothers looked at Fang Hong curiously, and the latter sighed, and then told them like a life mentor: "The first thing is to find the right career, and the second thing is to find the right lover. Because when the sun rises you're going to be in your career, and when the sun is setting you're going to be with your lover."

When everyone heard what the boss said, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Fang Hong said with emotion on his face: "We are looking for two things all our lives, one is a sense of value and the other is a sense of belonging. The sense of value comes from being affirmed, the sense of belonging comes from being loved, and the value establishes belonging. , Career determines love."

The brothers nodded in agreement, there is nothing wrong with it.

Fang Hong saw that a few of them were beginning to think about it, and decisively stepped up his efforts and said further: "It is said that a good wife and a good mother are wrong, and it should be read in reverse. A good mother and a good wife make a good business and a successful family."

The brothers immediately looked at the boss suspiciously.

Fang Hong immediately began to explain this sentence: "Mother-in-law is a virtuous wife, and her daughter is also virtuous. It is better to understand the establishment of a family. If there is no place to set up a cone, what is a home? So the ultimate answer When you come out, you have to start a career first, and career is the most basic logical support factor!"

The brothers nodded again and again to express their agreement, there is nothing wrong with it.

Fang Hong turned to smile and said in an orderly manner: "Actually, each of us has our own destiny, so how do we find our own destiny? It's very simple, it's based on your nature, and then when you do something that will make you very excited , will make you feel very valuable, that is your mission in this life, that is your destiny."

Wang Ping suddenly said: "So writing software is my destiny? Every time I develop a program, I feel super excited and super valuable."

Fang Hong glanced at Xiao Wang, and said succinctly: "Then your mission in this life is most likely to be an excellent engineer."

Immediately afterwards, Fang Hong looked around at the crowd, raised his hand with his thumb and forefinger, and said: "Brothers, open the pattern, brothers, open the pattern."

At this time, Xu Jingren thought for a while and suddenly said: "No, boss, then why did you get out of the order so quickly? Besides, after getting divorced with Lin Ruo, you immediately got in touch with He Xuan again. If you explain it this way, don't bother to block brother wow..."

"Cough cough..." Fang Hong raised his hand and coughed a few times but his face was calm and composed. He sighed again, then looked at the suspicious brothers and said, "You know that Hexuan has a Lamborghini supercar right?"

The elder brothers nodded, and Yuan Jie immediately said: "I know, I have wanted to ask you about this for a long time."

Fang Hong said in a serious manner: "Then you should know that it is impossible for me to give it to her, right? I didn't embezzle the company's finances. This Jingren is the clearest. There are more than three million top-level supercars. At present, Xincheng is One, such a luxury car, even if I sell it, I can't afford a few wheels, right?"

The brothers nodded again, um, nothing wrong.

Fang Hong said again: "Then think about why I can easily get the angel round of investment for Quantum Beat? The return is five million, and we haven't even made a product. Why? I really think investors are so good Fudge? You taste it carefully..."

At this time, the boss frantically guided, trying to lead the younger brothers' thinking in a direction that deviates farther and farther from the truth, the more deviant the better.

The effect finally appeared.

At this moment, Lou Gaoyuan said with a look of enlightenment: "I understand, Hexuan's family must have a lot of background and wealth, and the capital invested in us should also be closely related to Hexuan's family, boss, Am I right?"

Hearing this, the boss was relieved, and Fang Hong responded silently in his heart: [We didn't say that, you made it up by yourself]

Fang Hong didn't blush and said calmly, "Then you should understand why I want to be with Hexuan, right?"

Wang Ping also looked like I finally understood and said the content of his brain: "It turns out that the boss chose a woman you don't love at the expense of breaking up with Lin Ruoshui in order to attract investment for the company. It's amazing, sacrificing personal achievements The big self is really amazing, the boss is indeed the boss..."

Fortunately, Fang Hong is a big boss who has seen big battles and big scenes, otherwise he might be living in Bengbu at this moment.

Several buddies connected the causal logic of the whole incident in their own brains: Fang Hong chased Hexuan, Hexuan's family was super rich, and then he got the support and appreciation of Hexuan's family, and then the investors were happy. The angel round financing for Quantum Jump is 5 million. Think about it, it’s right. Back then, the campus network team couldn’t get investment. Why is Quantum Jump so easy? Isn't it based on the relationship with the boss's girlfriend's family... There is nothing wrong with it!

Xu Jingren didn't speak. He put his arms around his chin and looked thoughtful. He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know exactly what was wrong.

"It's over, don't lift us up so high." Fang Hong said with a smile, seeing the foolishness... er no, he was almost motivated, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "Speaking of business, what is my reason for coming to the company today?" For the Pre-A round of financing."

As soon as Fang Hong talked about the financing, the brothers immediately turned their attention to it. Xu Jingren didn't think about what was wrong. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "What about this financing?"

Fang Hong calmly said to everyone: "The Pre-A round of financing is still the exclusive investment of Qunxing Capital, and this time the other party wants 30% of the equity."

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, Yuan Jie couldn't help but said: "What's the situation? This time you want to sell 30% so much?"

Qunxing Capital took 30% of the equity this time, which means that the proportion of equity held by several of them has been diluted from 11.96% to 8.372%. Further financing means that they have to continue to dilute.

Fang Hongsha sighed softly, as if he had something to do: "Life is from begging for others to not begging for others. If you don't beg for others, you will be arrogant. You have to bow your head when you are under the eaves. When you bow your head, you have to know, Your living conditions are still very limited, otherwise, why are you bowing your head? The current situation of Quantum Jump is that the living conditions are limited, and there is pressure from competitors outside, so you have to ask for help, but from asking for help to not asking for help, I think this is both Quantum Beat The goal is also the goal we all strive for.”

Everyone nodded and said in unison: "It makes sense."

At this time, Fang Hong turned to smile and said: "We are not at a disadvantage. Although we have sold more equity, the company's valuation is also higher, and we have received more money. I won 90 million in the Pre-A round of financing. , the company is valued at about 300 million yuan, although the equity in your hands has been diluted a lot, it is even more valuable. The total value of the previous 11.96% equity was more than 7 million, and now the diluted 8.372% has a total value of more than 25 million.”

Several roommates were shocked when they heard that they had raised 90 million yuan. Then counting the diluted equity in their hands, the total value more than doubled, from more than 7 million to more than 25 million, which greatly offset the dilution of equity. Loss aversion, anyway, the control of the company is firmly in the hands of the founding team.

Fang Hong looked at everyone and said: "In the equity structure of Quantum Beat after Pre-A financing, the shares of the five of you have all dropped to 8.372%, the reserved option pool has dropped to 12.88%, and I have dropped to 9.66%. Qunxing Capital accounts for the company's equity. It has risen to 35.6% and has become the largest shareholder of Quantum Beat. Of course, all of its shares are Class A shares with 1 vote and 1 voting right, and the control is still in the hands of our founder team.”

Xu Jingren and the others nodded silently.

At this time, Lou Gaoyuan suggested: "I think our company can slow down the expansion speed appropriately? Save money, after all, it's all the money in exchange for the shares."

Fang Hong immediately denied: "No, the company's expansion can only be fast or slow. We are an Internet company, and the industry attribute is a typical Matthew effect. The winner takes all. Don't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon. Look at the competition of QQ. What is the current situation of the opponent? If the company dies, even 100% of the equity is meaningless, and the value of the shares in hand is not as good as toilet paper.”

"I agree with the boss's statement that expansion can only be accelerated, and must not be slowed down." Xu Jingren nodded and said, then looked at Lou Gaoyuan and asked: "One is 11.96% of the shares but it is only worth less than 7.5 million, and the other It is 8.372% of the shares but worth more than 25 million, would you choose the former or the latter?"

Lou Gaoyuan said without hesitation: "Nonsense, of course it is the latter."

Xu Jingren spread his hands and said, "Isn't that enough?"

Lou Gaoyuan nodded and said, "Well, anyway, I'm in charge of technology, with a clear division of labor. The company's management and general direction are the business of you and the boss."

Fang Hong said with a smile: "As long as the company continues to grow stronger and bigger, the valuation will continue to rise, and the dilution of equity will not change our absolute worth. Remember, we must have incremental thinking and make the cake bigger. Even if the proportion of cakes we cut is smaller in the end, the actual cakes we get can be several times, ten times, or even tens or hundreds of times larger than the current ones."

Yuan Jie nodded: "It makes sense."

Fang Hong turned to Xu Jingren and asked, "How is the current user situation on the Weibo platform?"

Speaking of this, everyone soon cheered up, and Xu Jingren immediately said: "Now the cumulative number of registered users has reached 3.73 million. Such a terrifying growth rate is due to the blogger K3478. The number of followers on this account has already reached It has reached more than 2.3 million, and his fans are almost all new users attracted from external sites, and their activity is extremely high.”

Xu Jingren sighed again, looked around everyone and said, "I finally understand why the boss's three-step promotion strategy is to cooperate with celebrities to enter. The celebrity effect is too terrifying. Think about it. If those popular celebrities enter our platform one after another to open accounts , so the increase in users can’t take a rocket to soar?”

Seeing their excited faces, Fang Hong immediately said: "It cannot be generalized. The users attracted by K3478 blogger are all A-share investors, and the biggest motivation for investors to pay attention to K3478 blogger is to think Being able to follow him to make money is essentially to make money, and making money is the biggest motivation. Stars stationed in to attract his fans to follow up, certainly cannot be compared with the power brought by the factor of making money. Of course, the drainage effect of stars Still not to be underestimated, after all, rabid fans are also crazy."

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Jingren couldn't help but nodded: "That's right."

Fang Hong said with a smile: "For the 90 million funds, 10 million will be credited first in a week, and all the funds will be in place within a month. The company's next priority is to run the 'First Micro Fiction' contest well, and use This planning activity strives to be promoted to more than 2,600 universities across the country in the first quarter of next year."

Fang Hong paused for a moment and added: "Also, we have to speed up our expansion. The rapid growth of platform users has probably attracted the attention of those Internet giants. They may end up in the microblogging field at any time, so we must not relax. , A temporary lead does not mean success, the ultimate winner is the one who laughs at the end, and you must not fall short, because there is only one winner.”

Xu Jingren and the others nodded heavily, immediately full of energy.

Fang Hong turned to say with a relaxed atmosphere: "Work hard, work hard, brothers, our situation is very good, and the state of the fighters must be maintained. I believe that within three years, the Internet we can only look up to now Brothers, we will finally be able to stand side by side with him on the same stage, sitting on the big sofa on the stage with our legs crossed, talking and laughing happily, and pointing out the country."

When the young co-founders thought of the picture scroll drawn by Fang Hong, their blood was aroused every minute, as if they were full of energy.

The team is motivated and the boss is very satisfied.

Thinking about girls at a young age, this kind of thinking is really bad, and it is good to focus on your career and struggle wholeheartedly.

Have lofty ideals, change the world, and serve all mankind.

That's right!

In this way, the boss can have more leisure time to play, communicate and interact with the girls, er no, he can have more time to think about the company's long-term plan, specify the general strategic direction, and so on.
