Kong Lingyu has been in a bad mood recently.
Too much trouble.
Things about Yiting.com, things about Tieba, increasing traffic, increasing pressure on servers and bandwidth, and even increasing demands for technical support, all made him feel tremendous pressure.
He admitted that even at Yanjing and Yahoo, he had never been so busy.
However, after being so busy and having a little leisure time, Kong Lingyu will still feel that he has lived a really fulfilling life during this time!
I am a super fan of the Internet and a super admirer of the Internet era. I originally thought that if I left Yanjing and returned to Jinling, I would be far away from the center of the Chinese Internet. However, I did not expect that after working with the right boss, I could actually do it. Exploding such powerful potential.
Right now, there are so many things that he needs to maintain, handle, and solve by himself, but he is not irritable at all, but enjoys them.
My boss, who just went to college, is really a genius among geniuses. Sometimes it only takes me a few days to digest many of his ideas with just one sentence.
Seeing the rapid development of Yiting.com and Tieba, and the imminent financing, although Kong Lingyu does not expect to get stock options, he is still very proud to be one of the core members of such a business.
Especially in the past two days, Li Mu gave himself a new idea.
3321!
This idea was a great blessing for him. For this reason, he took the initiative to reduce his sleep time from six hours to four hours a day, and he was still energetic and motivated.
Kong Lingyu has helped him take on so many things without any complaints. Li Mu has been sighing that he has found the right person. Before, his two websites were operated in his own name. Now, in order to raise funds, he will start to corporatize and provide the core backbone. As well as option shares for team members, it’s time to prepare.
There is no entrepreneurial company that does not reserve some options for its employees. These veterans who started the business with the boss from the beginning will be a huge asset to the company in the future. If you want to retain them and let them regard the company as their own business, , not only must they be given adequate salaries, but stock options are also essential.
Under normal circumstances, the company will have a certain binding agreement for options given to old employees. For example, the options are held by the leader on behalf of the boss, and a certain percentage can be cashed out every year, and all the options can be cashed out within a certain number of years. If you resign before expiration, it will be regarded as automatically giving up all options.
Li Mu also planned to do this. He first gave Kong Lingyu three points of options. However, he could only cash out 1% of these three points of options every year, and he had the right of first refusal. In other words, he gave him the option The shares will always belong to him as long as he stays here. If he doesn't stay here, he will sell them to himself.
For people like Kong Lingyu who invest purely in technology, these three points are no longer a minority, and are even a bit too much. However, Li Mu firmly believes that if you want to build a company and make big money, you must not save or tighten on your employees, but We must provide them with sufficient food, grass and ammunition so that they can charge outside with confidence and boldness.
The company has not yet been established, and Li Mu has received financing intentions from many companies. This time Baidu's Jack Zhou made a new offer. 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, are you Mr. Zhou?"
"It's me, who are you?"
The person on the phone was clearly eating.
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Li, and I am the founder of Yiting.com and Tieba."
"Ahem..." Jack didn't take a good breath on Zhou Zhou and sprayed the rice in the face of his wife opposite him. In his wife's angry eyes, he hurriedly ran to the bedroom with his mobile phone and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, I'm waiting for you. I’ve been waiting for the call for a long time!”
Li Mu smiled and said: "Actually, I didn't want to make this call to you because your quotations have always been too insincere, but I think this may be related to the current situation of your company. You should be under a lot of pressure on the capital side. ?”
"Yes." Jack Zhou had long regarded Li Mu as a big shot in the Internet field. Hearing what Li Mu said so accurately, he sighed: "As for the intention to acquire Yiting.com and Tieba, our president and vice president are here Communicating with capital is really stressful.”
Li Mu hummed and said, "I couldn't explain it in the email or on the phone. I think we should make an appointment to meet and chat."
Jack Zhou immediately said excitedly: "Just tell me a time and I will arrange it."
"Saturday, I'll be fine all day Saturday."
Jack Zhou said hurriedly: "Okay, I will arrange a time with the leader when I get to the company tomorrow. After the arrangement is made, I will contact you. Can I find you on this phone number?"
"Well, this is my cell phone number."
"OK!"
…
To the other five people in bed 606, Li Mu has been somewhat mysterious recently.
He never went to self-study or the library. He disappeared after class at around 5 o'clock every day. One day he didn't come back until lights out at 11 o'clock at night. Another day, he just called and said he wouldn't come back. No one knew. What exactly was he tinkering with? Even when asked, he was vague, causing the five people in 606 to keep guessing all day long.
Regarding the matter of staying out at night, Li Mu felt relieved after he understood the rules. The dormitory manager only randomly checked the bed occasionally. If the bed was not checked, it would not be a big problem. At most, behavioral points would be deducted. If you deduct too many points, you would not be able to get it. It's just a scholarship, and Li Mu doesn't care about it.
In the past two days, he spent almost all his free time in Yucheng Garden. After several days of hard overtime work by himself and Kong Lingyu's team, the 3321 website has developed an internal beta version.
The internal beta version of 3321 already has all the functions envisioned by Li Mu. In addition to the administrator backend, it also has a student backend and an employer backend. Students can register their own accounts, upload their identities and other information. However, in order to avoid forging information, Li Mu An audit level has been set up, and all ********* need to be manually reviewed. Although it is more troublesome, Li Mu feels it is necessary. No matter what, it is necessary to ensure the authority and credibility of 3321 in the eyes of the employer.
Kong Lingyu said that 3321 will be online within this week. The server and technical support can be placed in Jinling, and he will be responsible for daily support.
Li Mu has no objection to this. The key issue is not where the server is or where the technical support is, but the promotion of 3321 in the minds of parents of high school students. Facing people of this age, the only option Li Mu can choose is offline. Vertical promotion, such as directly organizing a promotion team to go to major high schools and major residential areas in Yanjing.
When he thought that he might need a promotion team of at least dozens of people scattered in every corner of Yanjing in the future, Li Mu felt a little worried. He did not have a registered company in Yanjing now, and he had no network resources. Where could he find suitable people
Just when he was worried about this, Sun Jian suddenly called Li Mu and asked him if anything had happened recently. He also said that if he needed help, he must speak to the brothers in the dormitory.
It turned out that the people in bed 606 had been worried that Li Mu had been mysterious these days, and that something had happened to him. They couldn't guess the reason, but they were even more worried, so Sun Jian volunteered and called 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 need to meet his brothers in the dormitory. He could tell them the plan and call on everyone to help with offline promotion. When the time comes, I will say that someone will invest and pay everyone part-time wages. Wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone
In this way, not only the 606 dormitory, but also Zhao Ziqiu and his gang of girls from Yanda can be mobilized to participate. Each of them will also call a few fellow friends, and from point to point, I believe that a team of dozens of people will be assembled soon. A small team comes out, and all of them are top students from top universities. When they go out to promote to the parents of high school students, they are more convincing.
After making up his mind, Li Mu said to Sun Jian: "I'm really busy with something here, but don't worry, it's not a trouble. I'm tinkering with something. But the situation is not completely clear yet, so I didn't tell everyone. , Okay, boss, when things become clear here, we can all have a good talk together."
When Sun Jian heard what Li Mu said, he was no longer anxious to ask: "Okay, let's talk together when you think it's appropriate."
After confirming that Li Mu was not in any trouble, Sun Jian and other brothers were relieved. As for what Li Mu was doing, they couldn't figure out the reason, but everyone knew it well. Although Li Mu usually kept a low profile, from some details It can still be seen from the article that his financial situation is very comfortable.
A laptop worth more than 20,000 yuan was left in the dormitory and used as a shared computer. On a whim, I spent 3,000 yuan to exchange for a mobile phone. I also gave Hu Zhengdao a brand-new 8250. He usually doesn’t delay in exercising and swimming. At first glance, he had it in his pocket. For those who are short of rice, for college students, the biggest troubles in life are probably falling out of love and running out of money. Li Mu seems to have nothing to do with these two things.
The internal testing of 3321 did not find any major problems, but some small details still did not satisfy Li Mu. At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Mu wrote a document about what he was not satisfied with, sent it to Kong Lingyu's email, and then called him. Call and ask him to organize technical forces to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Kong Lingyu agreed very simply. Li Mu suddenly remembered 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?"
Kong Lingyu asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Li Mu said: "I'm ready to talk about the A round. The A round will have to raise at least several million people. By then, the technical strength of Yiting.com and Tieba will have to be doubled. Jinling still doesn't have enough talents, and it's not the development of the Internet." The frontier, so I think we should consider moving to Yanjing."
Kong Lingyu was silent for a moment and said: "You are right. If you want to grow bigger, it is really inappropriate to stay in Jinling. Jinling does not yet have the soil to cultivate large Internet companies..."
After saying that, Kong Lingyu paused and asked: "Our current team is running relatively well. What if they don't want to go to Yanjing? Setting up a team there temporarily will inevitably affect the process."
Li Mu then said: "When I negotiate the financing terms and when we become a company, I will give you and others certain options, and the salary will also be adjusted generally to ensure that if everyone comes to Yanjing, they will have good salary, benefits and future development." Much better than in Jinling.”
Kong Lingyu thought for a while and asked: "Boss, when will the round A be discussed?"
"At nine o'clock on Saturday morning, I feel that Baidu is still very anxious."
"Okay! When you talk about the A round, I will announce it to everyone. I believe that for the sake of the future and the company, everyone will accept to develop in Yanjing."
"OK, wait for my news. The other 3321 matters need to be dealt with as soon as possible. I'm going to have something to eat first. I haven't eaten until now."
"Okay, boss, please pay attention to your health. Don't work too hard at a young age."
"I'm definitely in better shape than you."
