The tug-of-war with the capital tycoons on the negotiating table lasted for a long time.

An hour and a half later, Chen Yao and a group of men in suits and ties walked out of the conference room.

"Boss, how did the negotiation come true?" Sun Zhennan ran over quickly.

The teachers and students around were also very curious about how much Chen Yao’s company is worth?

Chen Yao raised his lips: "Guess?"

"Your company has not been established for a long time. It should be a good valuation of 10 or 20 million US dollars, right?"

"How could it be? He runs a technology company. Why is the valuation so low? It costs at least $50 million."

"His company just got the license yesterday. What money can it be worth? It would be great if it is worth a few million US dollars."

Sun Zhennan grabbed Chen Yao's arm and asked quickly: "How much is it?"

"You all guessed wrongly." Cai Feifei smiled brightly.

She said word by word: "One, horned, beast company!"

"Wow!" There was an uproar around!

It’s a unicorn company, isn’t it worth $1 billion?!

In the capital world, it is called a unicorn company, and there are strict standards.

Only a startup company with a valuation of more than 1 billion US dollars can be called a unicorn if it is established less than 10 years ago.

Every year, Forbes releases a global unicorn list.

In other words, the legendary trajectory founded by Chen Yao can enter the global unicorn list!

Oh my God, how long has his company been established? I only got the company's business license yesterday, and today I became a unicorn!

From 0 to yes, to unicorns, this is definitely the fastest growing startup in the world!

He just graduated today, and his classmates were so envious!

Sun Zhennan's breathing was a little heavy: "Boss, what is the specific valuation?"

Chen Yao stretched out three fingers, his index finger and thumb formed an O-shaped shape: "3 billion, US dollars!"

The eyes of the people around him were red and they beat their chests so envious.

If it were me, it would be great. You don’t have to go to work after graduation, just buy a car and a house to raise young models!

Chen Yao said in a light tone: "I'm not very satisfied, I feel very average."

Damn it, this is also called ordinary. It is just that it has a unicorn company worth 3 billion, which is just average.

Is it good to have a height that people can't reach in their entire life?

The students really wanted to rush over and press him to the ground to rub, rub and rub and rub again!

...

Then, the capital tycoon left, and top luxury cars slowly drove out of the school.

At night, the school cafeteria.

The last supper.

Most students will enter society starting tomorrow and have to solve their survival problems by relying on themselves. The last dinner at school is particularly rich.

Chen Yao and Sun Zhennan walked into the cafeteria and were about to line up to get food.

Cai Feifei came over and said softly to Chen Yao: "Student Chen, I'll get you food, so there's no need to queue up."

She put a lunch box in Chen Yao's hand, and the dishes inside were all what he liked to eat.

"Oh, why don't I have it? I feel unbalanced." Sun Zhennan covered his chest and seemed to be heartbroken.

"Yes, yes, squad leader, why do you only make food for him, not for us?" The boys around him looked sour, as if they had eaten a handful of dog food.

Cai Feifei blushed a little, forgot about it for a while, a little fat as if no one was present.

"Chen Yao is my friend, so it's a good idea to help him."

Sun Zhennan joked, "Are you a friend? The squad leader has never seen you so gentle to Chen Yao before, what's wrong tonight?"

Cai Feifei said righteously: "Tomorrow we will leave school and go our separate ways to do our best to do something for everyone so that we can leave some beautiful memories in your heart."

The students who said this could not refute it.

Chen Yao was embarrassed to refuse after the squad leader's kindness. He took the lunch box she handed over, thanked him and walked towards the dining table.

Professor Zhong Guoqiang waved, and Chen Yao walked towards him and sat opposite him.

"Professor Zhong, I still want to find you." Chen Yao said: "Who did you recommend me?"

It is impossible for me to go back to the company often, nor are I good at managing the company, so I need to find a suitable person to be the president of the company.

Professor Zhong smiled mysteriously: "Anyway, it's very strong, you will be able to meet her the day after tomorrow."

With Zhong Guoqiang's position in the industry, the people he recommends are definitely not ordinary people. Chen Yao nodded and ate rice.

Professor Zhong ate a piece of beef and asked, "How are you talking to the capital side?"

Chen Yao shook his head: "There was no agreement."

Professor Zhong was puzzled: "Why? Are you not satisfied with the valuation?"

"No, I'm basically satisfied with the valuation." Chen Yao said: "The biggest problem is the equity ratio."

Capital is all greedy, and Chen Yao truly realized this sentence at the negotiating table.

According to their financing plan, they are willing to invest $2 billion in legendary trajectory and occupy 66% of the company's equity.

Although you can get a lot of money, it is very expensive and you have to pay most of your equity, which is something that Chen Yao cannot accept.

The subsequent negotiations and the game with capital tycoons made them make concessions, their equity ratio dropped to 55%, and Chen Yao's equity increased to 45%.

Moreover, adopts an ab equity structure.

As the founder of the Legend Trajectory, Chen Yao can control 80% of the voting rights. In other words, the company is still his, and he still controls it.

This kind of ab-equity structure will not be like Apple founder Jobs, who was kicked out by the company he founded.

However, the equity ratio is relatively low, and Chen Yao still cannot accept it.

A capital tycoon said, young people, 45% is no less. Look at the founders of technology companies in the world, how many people have more than 20% of the equity?

More than ten or twenty billion US dollars are not a small amount, and you can get about 10 billion rmb, which is a huge temptation for an entrepreneur.

But if Chen Yao promised them, he would definitely regret it in the future.

From now on, the value of the legendary trajectory is at least equivalent to that of a penguin.

Chen Yao felt a little distressed that most of the equity they had controlled and most of the money they earned was cheaper.

But to be honest, a start-up, facing a capital tycoon, does not have much bargaining chip at all.

Even so, Chen Yao will not compromise with capital.

Zhong Guoqiang drank chicken soup and asked, "Then how to solve the funding problem of your company?"

Chen Yao ate potato shreds and said, "The road to capital financing has not been blocked, and the team will continue to negotiate with them."

"In my conception of plan b, I can also take 100% of the equity in my own hands without compromising with capital."

Professor Zhong was surprised, how is this possible?

...

After dinner, Chen Yao and Sun Zhennan walked out of the cafeteria.

It will be a graduation party later, and Chen Yao plans to sing a song with the dormitory brothers on it to put an end to his student days.
Chapter completed!
