Chapter 102 Investing Five Million to Test the Waters
"...I'll try to invest 5 million first."
This sentence is said calmly, as if instead of spending 5 million to invest in a company, it is like spending 500 to buy a bicycle.
This is the first time Lu Zhou has seen such a willful investor.
I don't look at BP, I don't look at PPT, I don't even ask about the business model, I open my mouth and throw in five million, and I don't even frown...
The things Ms. Yang taught him were completely useless.
Poverty once again limited his imagination.
This Liu Wanshan is also a man of vigorous and resolute conduct, and he doesn't even bother to wait for a day. He waved casually, motioned for his secretary to come over, took Lu Zhou to the hotel manager's office to borrow a computer and printer, and got out the letter of intent for financing on the spot.
This kind of contract has a template, as long as the key points are modified according to the template.
According to the agreement reached between Lu Zhou and Liu Dong, Zhongshan New Materials will raise 5 million RMB from the campus assistant and obtain 20% of the shares of the campus assistant.
Of course, it is impossible for the five million to be credited at once.
According to the general financing practice, the two parties will first sign an equity transfer agreement, and then Zhongshan New Materials will transfer the first batch of 500,000 yuan to the account of the campus assistant, and pay 500,000 yuan at the beginning of each month, in ten installments pay off.
This method of financing in installments is mainly to protect the rights and interests of investors and prevent entrepreneurs from abusing investment funds or causing legal problems due to extreme behavior.
However, in contrast, if the investor refuses to perform the financing agreement in the future and delays payment for more than one month, that is, the so-called "divestment" occurs, and the equity held by the investor will also be withdrawn. As for the money already invested , Whether it is charged or not depends entirely on the integrity of the startup company and whether it has the ability to pay.
Of course, generally speaking, there will be no such thing.
The letter of intent was signed tonight. As for the specific agreement on equity change and financing, it will be completed within 3 days. At that time, Zhongshan New Materials will send people to the school to sign the contract.
The investment letter of intent worth 5 million was signed.
Lu Zhou did the math, and it took less than an hour...
Because the transfer was through the VIP channel, he quickly received a remittance text message from ICBC.
A total of five hundred thousand yuan.
The ballpoint pen was placed on the table, unable to hold back the confusion in his heart, Lu Zhou finally couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going to read our business plan?"
Liu Wanshan laughed and waved his hands: "What's the use of that thing? BP? PPT? They're all fooling people. How can they look good? I don't know how to do it. After so many years of business, I don't know? No matter how good it is I don’t invest in projects, I only invest in people. I think you are a talent and worth investing in. Of course, I can’t rule out my mistake. But it doesn’t matter. Even if you make a wrong investment, the big deal is that you can withdraw your investment when the time comes, and you can still lose me a car?"
After listening to the boss's willful answer, Lu Zhou was speechless for a while.
Perhaps, this is the "face" of the rich?
Thinking of Fatty Wu and Yuan Liwei running back and forth for half a month for the two million, no investment institution was optimistic about their project, and even threw BP into the trash can in front of them. And when it came to my side, it was just a few casual chats, and five million has already been settled...
For a while, Lu Zhou really felt a little indescribable.
After chatting with Professor Li for a few more words, Liu Wanshan wandered off to another place. After all, the general manager of Jinling Building Materials is still standing in the hall. At this moment worthy of celebration, the partners cannot be left alone.
Looking at Lu Zhou who has not yet immersed in the 5 million, Professor Li Rongen smiled and said: "What's wrong, I'm surprised?"
Lu Zhou nodded slowly.
"It's only 5 million, what's so surprising about that." Professor Li Rongen laughed, "If you help me get two more projects, let alone the Angel round, believe it or not, I'll get you the A round."
Seeing Lu Zhou's expression of disbelief, Professor Li Rongen didn't say anything, just smiled and wandered off to other places.
During the whole celebration banquet, delicacies from mountains and seas filled the round table, but Lu Zhou didn't taste much.
The project that has been busy for a year has finally come to fruition. Everyone is very happy, and they are so happy. Whether it is researchers, or entrepreneurs and company executives at the next table, everyone clinks glasses frequently and persuades each other to drink and celebrate.
Several research monks and doctoral students in the project team were toasted in turn. Lu Zhou, who was not very used to this kind of meal, became a little dizzy after a few rounds.
Before that, Lu Zhou always thought that he could drink a lot, but when he came here, he found out that it was only because the other three animals in the dormitory were too good, and every time Liu Rui was forced to rest, the others couldn't drink anymore, so he had a problem. The illusion that I have a strong drinking capacity.
Fortunately, he was not the first to fall.
Senior Brother Qian, who was blushing from drinking, lay down on the table with a thud.
Seeing that there was already a break, everyone restrained themselves a bit.
It was lively until eight o'clock, and the banquets ended one after another.
After the banquet was over, Director Liu sent two drivers to take Lu Zhou and the others back to school.
Liu Bo said goodbye to Lu Zhou, and carried Qian Zhongming, who was drunk, to the graduate dormitory.
Walking alone on the path lined with phoenix trees, feeling the cold evening wind passing by, listening to the faint singing from the gymnasium, Lu Zhou's drunkenness finally dissipated a little.
Standing under the plane tree for a while, he shook his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and called Fatty Wu.
"Hello? What's the matter?"
The voice on the phone was very loud, it sounded like I was in a subway station.
Ashamed to say, at this critical juncture of "twelve arhats turning into seven gourd babies", two generals are working hard outside, and a code farmer is staying up late to explode his liver, but the founder himself is fishing Worked on my own project and failed to make any contribution to the team.
but……
Looking at it now, the MVP seems to be himself.
"It's done."
Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Fatty Wu was stunned: "What happened?"
"As for the financing, Zhongshan New Materials invested five million in us."
There was a dead silence on the other end of the phone.
After a while, Fatty Wu coughed lightly.
"How much? It was a bit noisy just now... I didn't hear clearly."
"five million."
Fatty Wu gasped.
five million!
If the angel wheel can reach 5 million yuan, it is really a noble person.
Originally, their plan was that the angel round could raise 2 million yuan, which would be very good. Spend 200,000 yuan a month for promotion, burn it until next summer to reach at least 6 million users, and then start the second round to fool those venture capital and funds into the market...
As a result, the angel round melted to five million.
Lu Zhou coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Say something, I'm a little embarrassed if you don't say a word."
Leaning against the pillar of the subway station, he stretched out his trembling fingers to feel for a cigarette. At this moment, Fatty Wu noticed the no-smoking sign, put the cigarette case back into his pocket, and said with a dry smile, "What are you talking about? What am I talking about?" I don't want to say it, I just want to find a place to smoke a cigarette and be alone."
Lu Zhou: "Where's Yuan Liwei?"
Fatty Wu: "He and I acted separately, and we should be outside right now...I'll call him and ask him to go back to school directly. By the way, have you signed the contract? Or is it just a letter of intent?"
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and said, "The letter of intent, but the other party is very sincere. The advance payment of 500,000 yuan has been received, and the contract will be formally signed within three days. There will be a meeting tomorrow night. Help me borrow a classroom."
Fatty Wu controlled his breathing: "Okay, do you want me to inform you in the discussion group?"
"Let me notify you," Lu Zhou continued after a pause, "make a phone call and look more solemn."
Holding the investment letter of intent, Lu Zhou went straight back to the dormitory. On the way, he made phone calls with Yuan Liwei, Rong Hai... the friends from the Campus Assistant Club, congratulated each other, and notified the meeting tomorrow. matter.
Five million financing.
What does it mean for a group of students with entrepreneurial dreams?
That's the whole world...
In a sense, Lu Zhou felt that he had changed the lives of at least eight people.
He didn't know if it was a good thing for him to do this. Without himself, maybe their college life would have been different.
All he knew was that tonight, many people would be unable to sleep.
