Chapter 731 The concerns of the founder of ATI

He Guoyuan returned to Toronto with excitement and anxiety, and told the other two co-founders of Ati, Liu Benni and Liu Likai.

The ati company was founded in the He family's garage, which is an office and a production workshop. Liu Benni, Liu Likai, and He Guoyuan are all young people in their early thirties. The three of them are all immigrants from Hong Kong and Taiwan. With the same cultural background, they were confused after coming to Canada, and finally got them together.

He Guoyuan told Liu Benni and Liu Likai about the financing of $4 million, and both of them were a little unbelievable. As the company's vice president of R&D, Liu Benni is still a bare commander. As the company's general manager and sales president, He Guoyuan often helps when he has nothing to do.

Liu Benni had some different opinions. After thinking about it, he still expressed his thoughts: "Guoyuan, do I think you should consider it again? Generally, seed investors and angel investors should not exceed 30%, and absolutely not exceed 40%! Now Lin Johnson wants to occupy 65% ​​of the company's shares, so that he has absolute control. In this way, the company's control will fall. What should he do if he commands blindly in the future?"

He Guoyuan frowned and nodded and said, "What Benny said is right, but I always feel that the other party doesn't have the idea of ​​controlling the company."

He said to Liu Bennie: "If you saw Johnson Lin himself, you might not think so!"

He Guoyuan couldn't help but think of the three Colombian girls in bikinis in Lin Johnson's villa. They were maids during the day and masters at night.

In the villa, He Guoyuan didn't sleep much all night. He couldn't fall asleep by listening to the movement in the first half of the night, and he simply lost insomnia in the second half of the night. The next day, he escaped early. At that time, Lin Johnson and three girls slept naked on the same big bed, without any intention of waking up.

He Guoyuan shook his head quickly and drove all the erotic scenes out of his mind. He straightened the color and asked Liu Likai, "Akai, what do you think?"

Liu Likai is the vice president of the company's strategy plan, a company of three people. Each of them looks very good, and he is extremely ambitious in terms of name!

The vice president was welcomed by Lin Johnson's entry. Liu Likai said to the two excitedly: "Don't you think that someone was willing to invest $4 million in less than half a year after we founded the company. Is this a big victory?"

He Guoyuan nodded in agreement, and Liu Benni also admitted that Liu Likai was right. To be honest, what do they have? The garage in front of him was borrowed from He Guoyuan's family. They just took out the finished product two months ago. There were more than a dozen boxes piled up in the corner of the garage, and the products were contained in it. Even though they worked hard to contact the business, until now, the total order volume of graphics cards was less than 1,000.

It can be said that Ati has not even made a first pot of gold, and it has just started. At this time, someone invested 4 million US dollars in. Is it their products that they like?

There are countless graphics card companies, and there are many companies with better technology than theirs. What is the point of Ati that the three of them can’t figure it out no matter how they think about it. In the end, they can only be attributed to the friendship of being a Chinese!

Liu Benni said: "However, the general investor's shares must not exceed the founder's, otherwise it will be easy for the investor to control the company! If the investor's shares reach 65%, if he intervenes in the work in the future, the three of us will not even have any room for resistance!"

Liu Likai argued with him: "But, although the investors' shares must not exceed 40% according to the rules. But have you heard that there are investors with less than 40% of their shares? For those who have made their fortunes in startups, which venture capital shares exceed 40%. In the end, the founder can only control a few shares, Akai. This is the reality!"

He turned to He Guoyuan and said, "This Lin Johnson wanted 65% of the shares at the beginning. I think he invested $4 million in. It is understandable to ask for these shares. Now all we can do is to make the products well and make the company bigger. Only when we have capital can we talk about other things."

Seeing that the two of them were a little moved, Liu Likai continued: "As for the future, although there are risks, we must make a prevention plan in advance. We can sign a contract with Lin Johnson, stipulating that he cannot drive us out of the company, nor can we dilute our shares. In the future, the company's shares must be recalculated according to the growth of market value! It is also necessary to stipulate that he cannot forcefully control the company, we must make an idea in terms of personnel and finance, and the company's management power cannot be compromised. This is the best of both worlds that I can think of now!"

He Guoyuan and Liu Benni nodded, and Liu Benni said: "We can also bring in another investor and let them cooperate to participate in shares to reduce Lin Johnson's equity!"

He Guoyuan was very moved by these opinions, but he also said with some concerns: "If another investor is brought in, will it cause Lin Johnson to be disgusted? He can also reduce the investment amount!"

Liu Likai disagreed with this proposal of losing both sides and said: "If we do this, it will definitely make the investors feel that we are guarding against him. There will be a rift when everyone's good cooperation will cause. I don't agree with finding another investor, at least not now!"

He then said to the two: "And, the most important point is, have you not seen the benefits of Lin Johnson holding shares in the company? This is obvious!"

Liu Benni looked at him in confusion, and He Guoyuan nodded and said, "Akai is right. I specially learned about this Lin Johnson. Although this person is very young and in his early 20s, he has achieved considerable achievements in the United States!"

Liu Benni asked curiously: "Who is this Johnson Lin?"

He Guoyuan said to the two: "This Lin Johnson-John founded Dongxing Semiconductor Company, a company that produces microprocessors, has wafer factories, packaging and testing factories. It is a large semiconductor manufacturer that can produce integrated circuits and discrete devices!

In addition, Compaq and Dell were also founded by Lin Johnson. He also has a Pentium Computer Company. You may have seen these computer brands. Its market share in North America is very high, reaching 40%!

Moreover, not only in the semiconductor field, Lin Johnson even has a large automobile manufacturer in the United States called Saturn Automobile Company. It just acquired the American automobile company Amc. I was also very surprised to see his introduction. This young man has achieved such great achievements in the United States, which is not worse than Wang An. It is really not easy!"

Benni Liu was shocked to the point of disbelief. He asked in surprise: "Combat, Dell, and Pentium were founded by Johnson Lin, and Dongxing Semiconductor? Is he a Chinese?"

As a research and development worker and a technical mate, he knows these computer brands very well. There is little news about the computer field in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the ones that come here are also published in English newspapers. Generally, non-professionals don’t care much about who the company belongs to, and they are all in English.

However, computers with the Chinese logo printed with Compaq and Dell sold well in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Industry insiders know that these two computer brands in the United States are among the best, even less than ibm. ibm computers are used a lot in large enterprises and governments, but due to their expensive prices, small and medium-sized enterprises are not the best choice, and they will buy more products from Compaq and Dell!”

At this time, the three of them looked at the garage, which was placed in a Compaq computer and two Dell computers, and their eyes were full of shock.

Mr. Liu Likai laughed and clapped his hands and said, "It's amazing that Chinese people have such achievements! What's especially rare is that Lin Qiangsheng is still so young. He is a person of our contemporary era, and he feels much better than the old man Wang An! Haha."

Thinking of the scene in the fast food restaurant, He Guoyuan had to nod and said, "Lin Johnson is indeed very popular in the United States, and the situation I saw on the West Coast is the same, especially those Stanford college students, who are even more sought after him! It's just Lin Johnson."
