Li Mu finally finalized the details of the contract with Baidu.
Baidu accepted Li Mu's conditions in full, including Li Mu's request to purchase Douban for 500,000 yuan after the funds were in place.
Tan Yaocheng felt that Li Mu's acquisition of Douban was actually a disguised attempt to bring in shareholders in order to extract Baidu's investment. However, when Li Mu told him that Douban was the key factor in Simple Plan's national popularity, Tan Yaocheng agreed without hesitation.
He has always been curious about the people behind the Simple Plan, and now he knows that it is Li Mu and Douban who are working behind the scenes. No wonder their Yiting.com can get the songs of the Simple Plan. It turns out that the package also has such a powerful network promotion ability. These five One hundred thousand dollars was worth it, and besides, even if it wasn't worth it, there was no reason for him to interfere.
For Baidu to make so many compromises, Li Mu also promised to let Baidu lead the B round of investment, which can be regarded as comfort to Tan Yaocheng.
The remaining problem is very simple. Before signing the contract, Li Mu must first register the company, then sign an agreement with Baidu on a public-to-public basis, and then sign a contract with Song Liang on a public-to-private basis.
Baidu promised that all the 5 million in Series A funds would be received within three days after the contract was concluded, and that 20% of the 20% that Li Mu requested to be cashed out would be paid to him by Baidu after filing taxes on his behalf.
The personal tax for one million is 200,000, and there are still 800,000 left. The same operation process is used for Song Liang's 2.5 million. Li Mu has to pay 100,000 personal tax for the 500,000 cash set. After calculation, There will be 1.2 million in hand.
1.2 million is not a large amount of money, but it is enough for Li Mu to invest in 3321, and support it until the legendary plug-in makes money.
Right now, the most important thing is actually registering the company.
Li Mu had previously considered registering a company in Jinling, but as the business of Yiting.com and Tieba continued to improve, he also realized that the biggest problem he would face in developing in Jinling was the lack of talent, so Li Mu also communicated with Kong Lingyu whether to transfer the team Bring him to Yanjing to do it.
After all, this is the center of the country's Internet field and has gathered a large number of relevant talents. Moreover, the local government, especially the district government where Zhongguancun is located, has always provided subsidies and preferential treatment to Internet companies, so registering the company in Yanjing may be the best choice. .
Li Mu called Kong Lingyu and explained that the A-round was basically negotiated. At the same time, he found a scalper company online that could register a company, and planned to register a technology company specializing in the Internet in Zhongguancun.
As for the name of the company, Li Mu originally seemed to be called Muzi, but when he thought that this name had already gained a lot of fame among music lovers, "When You Get Old" was broadcast by China CCTV and became popular all over the country, so he used this name again. Afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, I simply registered Yanjing Makino Technology Co., Ltd.
Li Mu called Kong Lingyu from Jinling to Yanjing. He took two days of free time and found a cost-effective workplace with him in Zhongguancun, 180 square meters, 50 yuan per square meter per month, which is only 9,000 yuan a month. Money, but this area, if squeezed a little, is enough for thirty people to work.
Li Mu paid three months' rent out of his own pocket, and then used the address here to ask scalpers to help register the company. The reason he only paid three months' rent was because after the company was successfully registered, these things could be done directly using the company account. The money was paid.
After corporatization, the issue that Li Mu had to consider was the establishment of management. However, he had always been the hands-off manager. Kong Lingyu was responsible for most of the company's affairs, and the finance was entrusted to the financial management of Ye Tianming's father's company. , so seeing that he had to change from a guerrilla to a regular army, Li Mu began to worry about management issues.
Li Mu wants Kong Lingyu to be the general manager of the company. After all, it is an Internet company. Its biggest business is technology, products and operations. With his own help, Kong Lingyu can be competent in technology and products, and the remaining operations. It requires someone who really understands the market to operate it.
Due to the importance of market operations, Li Mu wanted not a simple marketing director, but a vice president specifically responsible for market operations.
However, Li Mu had no suitable candidate in mind.
In addition, in addition to the company's main business, reliable people are also needed in the supporting parts, such as finance and human resources.
But after thinking about it, Li Mu sadly discovered that he only knew a group of college students in their twenties in this city.
Suddenly, Li Mu thought of someone.
Senior Sister Ai.
Chen Wan's good sister Dong Ai.
Dong Ai is a senior this year, and she is a top student in the School of Economics who has been admitted to graduate school. Although she is unlikely to come to help her, she has been at the National People's University for so many years and is a member of the student union boss. She must have a very wide network. If she can It would be best to introduce yourself to a senior or senior who has already graduated and is working.
The Renmin University School of Economics has produced many top students, and there are also some very powerful figures in the future, such as Liu Qiangdong, the founder of JD.com.
Deciding to ask Dong Ai for help, Li Mu called Dong Ai and asked kindly when Senior Sister Ai would be free. He wanted to treat Senior Sister Ai to a meal.
Dong Ai has not visited Li Mu since he took the initiative to treat him to a meal last time. The reason is simple, he is not happy.
Last time, he rushed to send a favor, but Li Mu used the refraction skill to give the favor to someone else smoothly. This made Dong Ai always have a grudge in his heart.
However, after all, he was the young man Chen Wan had a crush on. Although Dong Ai felt unhappy, he was not really angry. Although he was a little surprised when he received the call from Li Mu this time, his tone was still relatively friendly.
Li Mu did not explain his intention on the phone, but said that he wanted to treat Dong Ai to a meal. Dong Ai looked at the schedule, and the two of them made a reservation for that night.
In order to show his sincerity, Li Mu chose a relatively high-end Western restaurant and didn't call anyone else, just himself and Dong Ai.
Dong Ai went to the appointment on time. Before arriving, she was surprised that the consumption level of the store Li Mu chose was a bit too high. The per capita consumption of 500 to 600 yuan was something that even 90% of college students could not imagine. In order to prevent Li Mu from bleeding too much, she also specially I called Chen Wan and asked about Li Mu's situation.
Chen Wan's words made Dong Ai dispel her worries, because she said that Li Mu was a god who could easily earn hundreds of thousands during the summer vacation, and then open a specialty store for his parents at home.
Dong Ai was convinced. Although she was well-known in the National People's Congress and was recognized as a top student, when it came to making money, her ability was negative.
Many cadres of student unions will look for various opportunities to make money. Some people go out to solicit sponsorships and may earn hundreds or thousands of dollars into their own pockets;
There are also people who sell various daily necessities to new students. For example, when they enter school, some people secretly sell new students’ bedding behind the back of the school. Although it is dozens of dollars cheaper than the school’s, they still make a very considerable profit. There are also phone cards. These things belong to Consumables, and there are huge discounts for bulk card purchases;
More savvy people will often negotiate cooperation with various merchants outside and sell various products on campus. The most powerful one is selling computers to freshmen. It is said that one can earn several hundred.
However, Dong Ai has never done any of them, and it’s not that she doesn’t want to do them. It’s just that she can’t bring herself to do these things. She also often laughs at herself. Although she studied economics, she is really not a person suitable for further development in this area. She is also self-aware, and feels that the best destination for a thin-skinned person like herself is to use her strong campus connections to stay at the school to teach after attending graduate school in this school.
After meeting Li Mu, Dong Ai began to look at this little boy again. Even a beautiful woman from a very good family like Chen Wan could be seduced by him. He didn't know how capable this boy was
Li Mu diligently asked Dong Ai to order. Dong Ai opened the menu and took a few glances. The prices were even more expensive than the last time she came here. The last time she came here, it was a treat for her boyfriend at the time, and he also saved up. It was only half the semester's money that they brought themselves here for a splurge. In the end, the two of them ordered the cheapest steaks, salads and other meals, and ate more than 600 yuan for one meal. It was like cheating their grandma's house.
This time, Dong Ai was still very restrained when ordering. The most important steak still chose the cheapest one. Li Mu took a look at his menu and directly changed it to a steak imported from France. A piece of steak alone cost 588.
If Li Mu came to eat by himself, he would not be willing to order such an expensive steak, but Dong Ai is also Chen Wan's good sister and senior, and he is looking for help, so he still has to show his sincerity.
Dong Ai wanted to refuse, but Li Mu didn't give her a chance. In Dong Ai's eyes, this young and handsome boy could be so chauvinistic. However, at this time, his chauvinism would make women feel full. appreciate.
As for salads, soups and desserts, Li Mu made all the decisions for Dong Ai, because Dong Ai saw the prices of those items and thought that Li Mu had already ordered a 588 steak for himself, so he really didn't want to order any more. Anything anymore.
When Li Mu ordered the meal, Dong Ai quietly calculated the price in his mind. When Li Mu finally told the waiter that he had finished ordering, Dong Ai calculated that the meal and red wine for the two of them totaled more than 2,500 yuan. Dong Ai Although the family background is good, it is far from such a luxurious living standard.
Dong Ai asked Li Mu: "Let's just eat. Why did we make an appointment here? The food here is too expensive, and I don't think it's very delicious."
Li Mu then smiled and said, "Most of the time I go to a place like this to eat is for the environment and the feeling. Besides, Senior Sister Ai, you are my sister Wan's good sister. As a younger brother, I must do the right thing when I invite you to dinner for the first time." That’s all.”
Dong Ai said: "No wonder Xiaowan told me to order with confidence, saying that you are not short of money."
Li Mu asked: "Have you contacted Sister Wan?"
Dong Ai nodded: "You asked me to come here for dinner. I have to ask Xiaowan first. What if she finds out later and thinks I bullied you and wants to settle a score with me?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and asked: "Then what does my sister Wan say?"
Dong Ai smiled and said: "She said you are a rich man and a genius who can make money with just his brain. Let me kill you as much as I want."
Li Mu smiled sarcastically: "You are really my good sister."
Dong Ai pursed his lips and smiled, chatting with Li Mu for a while. The meals were served one after another. The two of them ate leisurely. It was not until they were almost done eating that Dong Ai looked at Li Mu and said, "Tell me, treat me to dinner today." , is there anything else you want me to help with?"
Li Mu was still thinking about how to speak before. After all, he didn't want people to know that he was running Yiting.com and Tieba. Once the Series A financing was successful, the company's tens of millions of valuations might make peers of his age hate him. It is not a good thing to show off in the forest if you have feelings of resistance.
Now that Dong Ai had taken the initiative to ask, Li Mu took advantage of her inquiry and said with a smile: "Sister, I have a cousin who has registered an Internet company and needs an operations vice president who understands the market and management. Isn't our National People's Congress supportive? Do you have any relevant talents? I would like to ask the seniors you know if there are any suitable candidates."
I was drunk, and the desktop computer at home suddenly broke down. At first, it flashed on and off when I started it, and then it flashed and stopped when I started it up. What the hell... Does anyone know what's going on? I've dismantled the machine twice and almost...
