Chapter 1766 Do You Think Money Bites Your Hand?
Originally, an investment of tens of millions of dollars may take at least half a year to prepare in advance.
However, this time, because of the urgency of the incident, IDG reached a consensus within one day.
The driving force of capital is one of the most powerful driving forces in the world besides the rotation of the earth, especially for the profit-seeking bigwigs on Wall Street.
Lu Yunhao, who was lying in a five-star hotel in Shanghai, suddenly became the "chosen son" of Wall Street capitalists, carrying the burden of sniping Li Mu on his shoulders.
When Lu Yunhao learned that IDG Capital had decided to invest 20 million US dollars in himself the next day, he was so excited that he almost had a heart attack.
It all felt like a dream.
After being excited for a long time and finally accepting this reality, Lu Yunhao began to be extremely conceited deep in his heart.
He told himself, Lu Yunhao, are you so awesome! Such an accurate judgment of the hatred of Wall Street bosses towards Li Mu, and an investment of 20 million US dollars in exchange for an email!
Twenty million dollars! Convert it into RMB, and then round it up, it is two hundred million!
Yesterday, he was an Internet celebrity training teacher behind a three-foot podium. Today, he has become the helm of an Internet company with an investment of 20 million US dollars. Lu Yunhao feels that he has just lost his luck, and his happiness is unmatched.
Although, the 20 million dollar company, from the beginning, only accounted for 20% of the shares, but this is not important.
The important thing is that he has become the spokesperson for the entire Wall Street, he has given up so many shares, and he is also their spokesperson and bridgehead. As long as they work hard, they will definitely support themselves behind their backs.
The next day, Lu Yunhao resigned from the principal of Southern English directly by phone.
The other party was extremely angry at his picky behavior, and scolded swear words on the phone unprecedentedly.
Of course, Lu Yunhao didn't show weakness. Finally, he held the phone and yelled, "Are you talking about work ethics with me? Is your brain sick?"
After speaking, Lu Yunhao hung up the phone.
Go to his uncle.
You have to do something big now!
Afterwards, he went to IDG's headquarters in Huaxia and signed an investment framework agreement with Fang Ping.
Due to the tight timing, IDG thought of a series of time-saving measures for Lu Yunhao.
For example, they are not going to let Lu Yunhao go to register the company, so they have to go to the industry and commerce to open an account, and then go to the bank to open an account, and all kinds of documents and qualifications will be delayed for at least ten days.
Therefore, the best way is to buy a company shell first, and use the shell company to start business first. As for the change procedures, you can add it later.
The most important thing now is to run the business first.
Lu Yunhao did not expect the Americans to be so anxious, but he immediately stated that he would not leave the Shanghai stock market for the time being. In any case, he must start his business first.
For him, nothing is more important at this stage than his own business.
In addition to acquiring a company shell, IDG also requires that, in the pre-investment period, IDG assigns the chief financial officer to be responsible for all financial work of the company, and then hand over the financial work after Lu Yunhao builds up the financial team.
However, after the handover of financial work, Lu Yunhao's finance must submit financial statements to IDG on a quarterly basis, including the purpose of every penny, which must be clearly reflected in the statements.
Lu Yunhao also accepted it. If he takes other people's investment, he has to provide financial statements. It's just that IDG is more diligent. Who makes people a major shareholder? It is reasonable and acceptable.
Subsequently, IDG made another request: accept a financial audit every six months, and the audit will be conducted by an internationally renowned audit firm designated by IDG.
IDG has so many financial requirements, which also shows that they do not have enough trust in Lu Yunhao. One is that he is afraid of spending money, and the other is that he is afraid of messing with money.
In fact, the reason why many venture capital investment projects fail is because the people who are invested are unreliable.
It is also very common to get black money from the investments you get.
For example, a person cheated on an investment of 10 million yuan, and then rented an office building of 600,000 yuan a year. As a result, he engaged in a black-box operation with others. The company paid 600,000 yuan a year, and maybe 200,000 yuan came into his own. pocket;
In addition, the company needs to spend hundreds of thousands to renovate the business venue. He may directly assign the renovation project to relatives and friends, and further enrich his own money from it.
As for the larger business outsourcing, promotion and operation expenses, there are more pits and pits inside. It is very likely that 10 million yuan was invested in him to do things, and things didn't work out, and 5 million went into his personal pocket.
Therefore, IDG decided to take strict financial precautions against Lu Yunhao and let him know that the money was invested in this project, not him.
Lu Yunhao doesn't care about this, he is really passionate about doing big things, so he decides to work hard no matter what, if he succeeds, everyone will be happy.
After all, the investment of nearly 200 million yuan, it is too simple to make some money from it, and it is impossible to prevent it.
Therefore, Lu Yunhao accepts all these financial requirements.
Subsequently, the discussion entered the specific business category.
Lu Yunhao will immediately build a development team, and IDG will find the core technical backbone of the team. At that time, Lu Yunhao will immediately lead the team to develop his own food delivery platform, build payment channels and set up a delivery team.
In order to compete with Li Mu, Wall Street found six technical backbones from the high-tech enterprises it invested in, including two of them of Chinese descent, who made a special trip from the United States to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to solve technical problems for Lu Yunhao.
At the same time, IDG Capital has also started to open up banking relationships, and is ready to help Lu Yunhao open an online banking payment channel entrance.
The rest, it is up to Lu Yunhao to integrate and be responsible.
Two days later, Lu Yunhao signed an acquisition agreement with a company called Shanghai Zhonghui Technology Development Co., Ltd.
Lu Yunhao bought the entire equity of this company for 200,000 RMB. The company has a history of five years. Although there is no money in the account, the fixed assets have been almost liquidated, and the registered address is also rented, but the company has not had any money for five years. Any record of violations, financial flow is also very clear and transparent, it is a very clean shell company, and there are some small qualifications in hand, so the money spent is also worthwhile.
After signing the agreement, Lu Yunhao immediately started to build the company structure.
He first entrusted a third-party company to help him go through the change process. If he wanted to change the Shanghai-listed company from the other party to his own name, he would become a legal person of the company. At the same time, he adjusted the shareholding structure and held 20% of the shares himself. IDG holds 80% of the shares in a holding shell company of Huaxia. Once the change is completed, RMB equivalent to 10 million US dollars will be remitted to the company's account immediately;
At the same time, IDG began to help him register an offshore company in the Cayman Islands. Once the company registration is completed, Zhonghui Technology will be wholly-owned by the Cayman offshore company. At the same time, another 10 million US dollars from IDG will also be remitted offshore. Company account as a backup.
On the third day, Lu Yunhao had already started looking for office space in the Shanghai market.
He found a 500-square-meter office space on the riverside a little far from the Bund. Compared with IDG's headquarters, it is certainly not big, but if it is used, it can at least accommodate hundreds of people, at least satisfying One year of company use.
In fact, Lu Yunhao's idea was to rent an area of 800 to 900 square meters, close to the city center, preferably a place close to the Bund like IDG headquarters, and then get himself a bigger and more stylish office.
Anyway, with nearly 200 million investment in hand, renting a place of 2,000 square meters, it is not a big deal to dress up.
When he thought that he could also sit in such a grand office and give instructions to his subordinates, Lu Yunhao felt that his blood was on fire.
However, IDG's Fang Ping put out his thoughts. Fang Ping told him that although he has nearly 200 million in his hands at this stage, he must make good capital deployment.
The food delivery platform is a relatively heavy business model. It will cost a lot of money for future marketing and promotion. This thing is simply a bottomless pit, not to mention the need to build a delivery team of thousands of people, and the cost behind this is even higher. scary.
Therefore, even if there is one or two hundred million, Lu Yunhao still has to tighten his belt to live.
This greatly disappointed Lu Yunhao.
He thought about himself sitting in the same office as Fang Ping countless times, with a dignified appearance, and he knew that he must be very handsome.
However, the first dream was blocked by Fang Ping.
In desperation, he chose this slightly remote and relatively ordinary office space, but even so, he still planned a riverside office of about 40 square meters for himself.
Although a little simple, but in the end it is better than nothing.
...
Li Mu got the news on the fourth day.
The business public relations team of Muye Technology has already established a relatively strong information network in China, and has paid close attention to every move in the industry.
Li Mu also asked them to keep an eye on several big capitals, and asked them to find out what they had invested in, what they were investing in, and every project they wanted to invest in.
In fact, for a company to develop to the scale of Makino Technology, it is necessary to monitor the behavior of the entire industry.
In the last life, Ah Li Tengxun has always maintained a very high sensitivity, which is why both sides can always fight in areas that everyone is not good at.
If you do DiDi, then I will quickly become Kuidi, if you are close to Meituan, then I will quickly accept it. Are you hungry? If you do it, Liyun, then I will quickly get Tengxunyun, you have Taobao Tmall, then I quickly vote for JD.com and Pinduoduo.
A top company wants to maintain its position, not only by strength, but also by diligence and a sense of crisis everywhere.
When Li Mu listened to the report from his subordinates, he was surprised when he heard Lu Yunhao's name.
Good guy, isn't this the famous old Lu? In my impression, this guy didn't come out to start a business so early!
Besides, how did he get together with IDG? And are you still going to start a food delivery platform and compete head-to-head with yourself?
Did IDG's brain squeeze the door? Throwing money into this guy, do you think money bites your hand?
