Chapter 136 Meet and talk
Kong Lingyu has been very upset recently.
Too many things to do.
Things about Yiting.com, Tieba, increasing traffic, increasing server and bandwidth load pressure, and even increasing technical support needs. These things make him feel huge pressure.
He admitted that even in Yanjing or Yahoo, he had never been so busy.
However, no matter how busy he is, Kong Lingyu will still sigh that he has been so fucking fulfilling during this period!
I am a super fan of the Internet and a super admirer in the Internet era. I originally thought that if I left Yanjing and returned to Jinling, I would stay away from the center of the Chinese Internet, but I didn’t expect that after following the right boss, I could burst out with such powerful potential.
At present, so many things need to be maintained, handled and solved by themselves, but he is not irritated at all, but he enjoys it.
My boss who just went to college was really a genius. Many of his ideas, sometimes just one sentence, could allow him to digest them in a few days.
Seeing Yiting.com and Tieba are developing rapidly and financing is imminent, Kong Lingyu does not expect to get shares and options, but he is still very proud and proud to be one of the core members of such a career.
Especially in the past two days, Li Mu gave himself a new idea.
3321!
This creativity was a great thing for him to be of great merit. For this reason, he took the initiative to compress his six hours of sleep to four hours a day, and he was still energetic and full of energy.
Kong Lingyu helped him take on so many things without any complaints. Li Mu kept sighing that he had found the right person. His two websites were operated in his personal name before, but now they are going to start corporate in order to raise funds, giving options shares to core backbones and team members. It is time to prepare for it.
There is no startup company that does not retain some options for employees. These veterans who have followed their bosses from the beginning will be a huge wealth for the company in the future. If you want to keep them and make them regard the company as their own career, you not only need to give them enough salary and benefits. Share options are also essential.
Generally speaking, companies will have certain bundled agreements for old employees when giving options. For example, the options are held by the leader and can cash out a certain proportion every year. If you resign before expiration, it will be considered that all options will be automatically abandoned.
Li Mu was also planning to do this, first take out three points of options to Kong Lingyu. However, he can only cash out 1% of the options for these three points of options every year, and he has the right to take priority. In other words, he will keep the shares he gives him here and will always belong to him. If he doesn't stay here, he will sell them to himself.
Three points are no longer a minority for those who invest in pure technology like Kong Lingyu. They are even a little too far away. However, Li Mu firmly believes that if you want to start a company and make a lot of money, you must not save or tighten your employees. Instead, you must give them sufficient food, grass and ammunition so that they can charge outside with confidence and boldness.
The company has not been established yet, and Li Mu has received financing intentions from many companies. This time, Baidu's Jack Week gave a new offer, and Baidu is willing to give Yiting.com and Tieba a valuation of 30 million.
Li Mu looked at the email he sent and did not reply. Instead, he took out his cell phone and called directly.
"Hello."
"Hello, is it Mr. Zhou?"
"It's me. Who are you?"
The person on the phone was obviously having a meal.
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Li. He is the founder of Yiting.com and Tieba."
"Ahem..." Jack Zhou was not in good condition and sprayed the rice on his wife's face. In his wife's angry eyes, he hurriedly ran to the bedroom with his cell phone and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, I have been waiting for your phone for a long time!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't want to call you this time because your offer has always been too insincere. But I think this may be related to your company's current situation. You should be under a lot of pressure on the capital side, right?"
"Yes." Jack Zhou had long regarded Li Mu as a big shot in the Internet field. When he heard Li Mu's words so accurately, he sighed: "About the intention of acquiring Yiting.com and Tieba, our president and vice president are communicating with the capital side, and the pressure is indeed quite high."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I can't tell you the reason on the email or the phone. I think we'd better make an appointment to meet and chat."
Jack Zhou immediately said excitedly: "Tell me a little time, I'll arrange it."
"Saturday, I'm fine all day on Saturday."
Jack Zhou hurriedly said, "Okay, I will arrange time with the leader when I arrive at the company tomorrow. After the arrangement is made, I will contact you. Can this phone number be found?"
"Well, this is my mobile number."
"Ok!"
...
For the other five people in 606, Li Mu is a little mysterious recently.
He never goes to self-study, never goes to the library, and disappears after class at around five o'clock every day. One day he waits until the lights are turned off at 11 o'clock in the evening, and one day he calls and says he can't come back. No one knows what he is doing, and he asks him vaguely, which makes the five people in 606 guess all day long.
Regarding the matter of not returning home at night, Li Mu felt relieved and bold after figuring out the rules. The dormitory manager only checked the bedroom randomly occasionally. If the bedroom was not there, there would be no big problem. At most, the behavior points would be deducted. If you deduct too much, you would not get a scholarship. Li Mu didn't care about this.
He spent almost all his spare time in Yucheng Garden these two days. After several days of hard work overtime by himself and Kong Lingyu's team, he has developed an internal beta version.
The internal beta version of 3321 already has all the functions that Li Mu imagined. In addition to the manager's backend, there are also student backends and employer backends. Students can register their own accounts, upload their identities and various other information by themselves. However, in order to avoid forging information, Li Mu set up an audit level, which requires manual review. Although it is a little troublesome, Li Mu feels it is very necessary. In any case, 3321 has the authority and credit of employers in the minds of them.
Kong Lingyu said that 3321 can be launched within this week. The server and technical support can be placed in Jinling, and he is usually responsible for daily support.
Li Mu has no objection to this. The key question is not where the server is or where the technical support is, but 3321's promotion in the minds of high school students' parents. Faced with people of this age, Li Mu's only choice is offline vertical promotion, such as directly organizing a promotion team to reach major high schools and major residential communities in Yanjing.
When Li Mu thought that he might need at least dozens of promotion teams to be scattered in every corner of Yanjing in the future, he was a little worried. He had no company registered in Yanjing now, and he had no connections, so where can he find the right person?
Just as he was worried about this, Sun Jian suddenly called Li Mu and asked him if something had happened recently. He also said that if there was anything needed to help, he must speak to the brothers in the dormitory.
It turned out that the people in 606 had been worried that Li Mu had been mysterious these days because he had encountered something. Everyone couldn't guess what it was, but they were even more worried. So Sun Jian volunteered to call Li Mu.
Li Mu wanted to say that he was fine and reassure everyone. But then he thought about it, for such a meaningful thing as 3321, he didn't seem to have to see the brothers in the dormitory. He could tell them this plan and then call on everyone to help with offline promotion. At that time, he would say that someone invested and paid everyone a part-time salary. Wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone?
In this way, not only 606, but also mobilize Zhao Ziqiu and the Yan Da girl to participate, and call a few fellow villagers and friends from each other. From point to face, I believe that a small team of dozens of people will be able to come out soon. Moreover, all of them are top students from top universities, and when they go out to promote the parents of high school students, they will be more persuasive.
After making up his mind, Li Mu said to Sun Jian: "I am indeed busy with something, but don't worry, it's not a problem, it's me who is fiddling with something, but the situation is not completely clear at the moment, so I didn't tell you, "Let's do this, when it becomes clear here, let's have a good talk together."
When Sun Jian heard Li Mu say this, he no longer asked in a hurry: "Okay, let's talk together when you think it's right."
After confirming that Li Mu was not in any trouble, Sun Jian and other brothers were relieved. As for what Li Mu was tinkering with, they couldn't think of any reason, but everyone knew it well. Although Li Mu was usually very low-key, it can still be seen from some details that his financial situation was very abundant.
The laptop worth more than 20,000 yuan was thrown into the dormitory as a shared computer. On a whim, I spent 3,000 yuan to change my phone and gave Hu Zhengdao a brand new 8,250. I don’t delay my fitness and swimming. I can tell at first that I have rice in my pocket. For college students, the biggest trouble in life should be love breakup and money. Li Mu doesn’t seem to be a match for these two things.
No major problems were found in the internal test of 3321, but some small details were not satisfied with Li Mu. At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Mu wrote a document that he was dissatisfied with and sent it to Kong Lingyu's email address, and then called him and asked him to organize technical forces to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Kong Lingyu agreed very simply. Li Mu suddenly thought that he had made an appointment with Baidu to discuss financing on Saturday, so he said to Kong Lingyu: "Old Kong, have you ever thought about returning to Yanjing again?"
Kong Lingyu asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Li Mu said: "I am going to talk about the A round. At least a few million will be needed to get in. At that time, the technical strength of Yiting.com and Tieba will have to be doubled. Jinling still has not enough talents and is not at the forefront of the development of the Internet. So I think I still have to consider moving to Yanjing."
Kong Lingyu was silent for a moment and said, "You are right. If you want to grow bigger, it is indeed not appropriate to stay in Jinling. Jinling does not have the soil to cultivate large Internet companies at the moment..."
As he said that, Kong Lingyu paused and asked, "Our team is running in well now. What if they are unwilling to go to Yanjing? Just go there and build a team again, which will inevitably affect the process."
Li Mu said: "When I negotiate the financing terms and when we are in the company, I will give you certain options for others, and their salary will be generally adjusted. If you ensure that everyone comes to Yanjing, your salary and future development will be much better than in Jinling."
Kong Lingyu thought for a while and asked, "Boss, when will the A round be talked about?"
"At 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, I feel that Baidu is still in a hurry."
"Okay! When you talk about the A round, I will announce it to you. I believe that for the sake of your future and company, you will accept the development of Yanjing."
"Okay, wait for my news. The other 3321 matters must be handled as soon as possible. I will go to eat something first, and I haven't eaten until now."
"Okay, boss, please pay attention to your health. Don't work hard at a young age."
"My body must be much better than you." (To be continued.)
