Chapter 122 Angel Investor (First Order Plus 4)
In the crowded small room, Zhang Zhihao opened his mouth and babbling for a long time.
"No, Xiao Zhou, are you serious?"
Zhang Zhihao has confirmed with Zhou Rui no less than ten times.
Several girls on the phone nearby also looked sideways.
Zhou Rui rubbed his temples: "I'm serious, I answered it ten times."
"Where did you get so much money?"
"I earned it myself."
Thanks to the faceless policy, Zhang Zhihao never thought that Zhou Rui was the "Arui", so when he heard about the investment, his first reaction was disbelief. .
I have always regarded him as a little brother who I can talk to and is interested in delivering food.
When Kang Jia came back and heard Zhang Zhihao explain the situation, she was also surprised.
Can the potential delivery person become an investor?
This is really a blessing from heaven.
"Just think that I am impressed by you. I very much agree with your analysis of the market prospects in the coffee shop that day. Besides, if you want to get out of this three-acre area of Minpu Campus, it is impossible without money. With this money from angel investment, we have weapons and bullets.”
Zhang Zhihao didn't know that Zhou Rui had foreseen his success, and he was extremely moved at this time.
After two exchanges, the other party is willing to spend millions!
What is this if not "a close friend"?
What is this if not "a fellow-minded person"? !
"Are you sure this money doesn't belong to your family? It's not a small amount. Don't make yourself too embarrassed!"
Although he is extremely eager for this angel investment, Zhang Zhihao feels that if Zhou Rui is a rich second generation who is not familiar with the world, his conscience will not be able to bear it.
At least we need to expand on it.
Zhou Rui then took out the identity of "A Rui" and said:
"Don't worry, the money is my own and I have the full right to handle it freely. I played music before, maybe you have heard of my songs."
Zhang Zhihao and Kang Jia nodded fiercely.
Have you heard that every time the credit card payment date comes, they will play the song "Chasing Dreams" on a loop!
So passionate! I can’t wait to start a business in Gayaozi!
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Maybe I can help you with publicity in the future. After all, it's my own company."
Zhang Zhihao was so excited that he almost jumped up.
It’s time to clear the clouds and see the sun! The first step towards success!
Zhou Rui waited for Zhang Zhihao and Kang Jia to finish celebrating, and then started his own layout.
Generally, angel investors receive more when they see good results. They run away in the early rounds, and are even driven away by the big bosses later on.
But Zhou Rui wanted to run to the end.
Because he knows where the fruit is.
Then not only do you have to provide money, but you also need to provide some efforts and favors. Otherwise, if Zhang Zhihao doesn't say anything during the rounds of financing, subsequent investment institutions will also find ways to squeeze him out or even kick him out.
"Let's go out and find a place to talk in detail."
After that, Zhang Zhihao and Kang Jia stopped delivering food. The four yuan per order was not as important as angel investment.
The two took Zhou Rui to a coffee shop outside to discuss the investment in detail.
After consultation, they agreed on many details.
In the end, Zhou Rui invested 1 million as an angel investor in "Food Express", accounting for 30% of the shares.
Again, if you laugh too wildly at the beginning, you will definitely find this person out in the end.
For angel investment, this ratio is already the limit.
For this sure-win lottery ticket, he cannot swallow too much at the beginning, otherwise the founder team will feel suppressed by the management, and it will be troublesome to escape the golden cicada.
Comparing the previous ratio figures, the hearts and minds of the founder team are obviously more important.
Without a team of founders to escort him all the way, with the growth rate of Zhang Zhihao’s team, Zhou Rui is expected to be kicked out of the company soon by the capital coming from behind.
So in addition to investing money, he also had to come up with ideas.
"If there is a next round in the future, your equity structure must be carefully designed. Core personnel must account for a part. This part must be tried to avoid being diluted. In particular, management rights and equity must be separated. According to the agreement, it can be divided into A shares and For B-shares, Facebook abroad is doing very well, and core members must build a good moat.”
Zhang Zhihao nodded fiercely. This investor was so interesting. Instead, he taught him how to design equity and gave him a sense of trust.
"In addition, after I understand your current model, I feel that the top priority is to optimize the website and develop a back-end system. Relying solely on phone calls will not allow rapid expansion. You must have your own system."
Zhang Zhihao was puzzled: "Building systems and websites are too expensive. Many websites on the market cost hundreds of thousands to produce. It is better to use the money wisely and be responsible for your investment."
Otherwise, if you just took 1 million from investors and then spent hundreds of thousands to build a website, wouldn’t this be a scam?
Some people in the market do this, spending money arbitrarily and taking advantage of investors. In fact, they end up pocketing their own money through kickbacks, but Zhang Zhihao cannot do such a thing, especially to Zhou Rui.
Zhou Rui smiled slightly: "I'll figure it out. I know a friend who has good programming skills. Let me ask."
Establishing a backend system for "Meal Delivery" is only the first step.
As a former witness, he knew exactly which path was right.
He doesn't need to know all the details, because Zhang Zhihao and the others are not stupid people, but naming them and clarifying the direction can make them go faster.
"Although the Wuxingchang University District is larger, it is a bustling business district and students have more choices. I think the most suitable place in Shanghai is Matsuura University. There are seven universities there, and it is also located in the suburbs. Takeaways The demand is tougher.”
"Your idea is definitely right. You should start with college students. Once you have a system and understand the model in Wuxingchang or Songpu, you can expand to other cities. As long as you go out of Shanghai, the next round of financing will not be far away."
The more Zhang Zhihao and Kangjia talked, the more they felt like they were getting along. Many of Zhou Rui's ideas coincided with theirs.
In the past, when these ideas came up, I was more guessing in my mind, after all, they were things that no one had ever done.
Now that I have the affirmation of investors, I feel more at ease.
Zhang Zhihao also reciprocated. Zhou Rui's behavior was already difficult to define as an "investor". Before leaving, Zhang Zhihao and Kangjia discussed it.
According to Zhou Rui's suggestion of AB shares.
Zhou Rui invested 1 million yuan, and as an angel investor, he held 30% of the shares, which belonged to B shares.
In addition, Zhang Zhihao and Kangjia also allocated 5% of the A shares of the core team.
At present, their equity has not been diluted in rounds, and the total is 60%, so they are not stingy. Who can predict the future? They will split it up and make decisions while they are in the mood. Both of them feel that their ideas are clear.
Zhou Rui's goal has been achieved.
In the end, this 5% value preservation rate may far exceed the 30% that is destined to be diluted.
As the saying goes, everyone is happy, and the willows grow into shades without intention.

"Be the background?"
Song Bin seems to be dealing with the decoration of "Qingke Studio". Although he fell in love with music halfway through his career, he is really good at computers and his level is much higher than that of music.
Zhou Rui briefly mentioned the requirements, and Song Bin said: "The one you are talking about should be a CRM system."
"Can it be done?"
Song Bin thought for a while: "It's a bit troublesome for me to do it alone, but I can ask friends I met on the forum before. It should be faster if we work together."
"That's good. Come to Daxue Road next week, and I will sort out the requirements for you, and you can also buy a domain name for me."
"What domain name."
