Sitting in his GL8, Li Mu asked Lin Qingya next to him: "Which community do you live in now?"
Lin Qingya said: "Shuangyun Yayuan."
Li Mu frowned slightly: "I seem to have heard of this community. Where is it specifically?"
"Just five hundred meters east at the intersection of the East Gate of the National People's Congress." Lin Qingya glanced at Li Mu, and a trace of panic flashed in her heart as she spoke.
"Oh! I understand. That community is right next to Yucheng Garden. Why did you move here?"
After Lin Qingya's reminder, Li Mu immediately remembered that Shuangyun Yayuan is actually next to Yucheng Garden. Coming out of the east gate of the National People's Congress, the first community is Yucheng Garden, and the door of Yucheng Garden faces west. Open, basically opposite the main gate, and the entrance of Shuangyun Yayuan is on the north side of the intersection going east, with the gate facing south. Li Mu also paid attention to that community when he was looking at houses before, but he only heard about that community. They were all studios, one-bedrooms and small two-bedrooms, and the floor area was generally small, so I gave up.
Lin Qingya's house had just been changed not long ago. The reason why she changed to Shuangyun Yayuan was because of a little thought in her heart. She knew that Li Mu was studying at the National People's Congress, so when she was looking for a house, she couldn't help but look at a large school near the National People's Congress. circle, and finally chose Shuangyun Yayuan.
Faced with Li Mu's question, Lin Qingya said a little unnaturally: "When I was looking for a house, I wanted to be closer to the company, but the rent near the company was too expensive, so I found Shuangyun Yayuan, over there It's just a few stops away from the company, and it takes about ten minutes to get there by bus. It's very convenient. Mr. Li, do you know how to get there?"
Li Mu didn't think much, nodded lightly and said with a smile: "I know."
Li Mu drove out and said to Lin Qingya in a casual tone: "It won't be long before we raise Series B, which will cost at least tens of millions. Do you have any ideas?"
Lin Qingya thought for a while and said: "The company's software and hardware will definitely undergo a large-scale upgrade by then, right? Our current workplace area may not be enough. In addition, I have to quickly set up a human resources department with at least two people. We will appoint a talent specialist, and then collect a batch of resumes to create a good talent reserve.”
Li Mu glanced at Lin Qingya in surprise and said with a smile: "You think so clearly, you have thought of everything I have thought of during this time."
Lin Qingya smiled slightly and said: "I have also been thinking about Series B financing recently. I don't know when you are going to raise funds, but I still made some preparations in advance."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then you should make preparations according to your plan in the near future. The Series B financing should be negotiated this month and will be in place after the Lunar New Year."
Lin Qingya suddenly remembered what her mother called her a few days ago and hesitated before tentatively asking Li Mu: "Mr. Li, if we raise Series B financing, can the options be cashed out?"
Li Mu said: "I will definitely strive for the cash-out ratio. You and Lao Kong are both held by me, so if you want to cash out at that time, I will directly buy back the shares at the valuation price."
With that, Li Mu added, "But I still advise you not to cash out so early. It's still too early to cash out in Series B. Although Baidu left and released 10% of the shares, I still plan to dilute it by 10% in Series B." % goes out, so when you wait for Series B financing, you still have one point of shares, and now the cash out is only a few million before tax. I still suggest that you wait for a while. I dare not say that I will let you wait until Makino Technology goes public, but at least We have to wait until after the C round to cash out. At that time, the valuation will definitely be over one billion, so cashing out will only make sense.”
Lin Qingya nodded and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I know what you mean, but I encountered something personally, so..."
Li Mu then said: "If you tell me something, I will try my best to help you solve it. However, you still have to carefully consider the shares. The company is rising so fast now, and the loss of cashing out in advance will be huge."
"I know..." Lin Qingya pursed her lips, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
She didn't want to tell Li Mu that her parents had been calling and urging her to find a way to get some money for her brother's marriage.
There are two brothers and sisters in Lin Qingya's family. The elder brother is 32 this year. When he was young, he was too playful and didn't like to study. He went out to hang out after graduating from junior high school. He didn't make a name for himself until he was in his twenties. Later, he got a girlfriend. For stability, As soon as he got married, he went to work as a temporary worker in the county's prefabricated yard. However, when he was lifting a prefabricated panel with a lever hoist, the chain broke and the prefabricated panel hit his right foot, causing it to cut off at the ankle. , and has been disabled ever since.
After my brother became disabled, the prefabrication shop only paid a few thousand yuan in total and said he was unwilling to pay any more. Lin Qingya's parents went to court and sued but they didn't find out the reason. However, because of the accident, my brother ended up with the girl he was talking to. Not to mention that my friend ran away, I couldn't even find a job. Later, I couldn't get over it, so I just stayed at home and grew old.
Lin Qingya's family background is average. Her father was a worker in a county food factory in his early years. He just got medical leave last year and received a pension of about 300 yuan a month. Her mother has an agricultural registered permanent residence and has never had a job. Her family background is very average. Originally, Lin Qingya's family background was average. Qingya's family didn't want her to go to college and wanted to save the money for her brother to get a wife. Later, Lin Qingya's class teacher personally went to her home to lobby her, but to no avail. Finally, Lin Qingya's high school alma mater pooled 5,000 yuan to take the college entrance examination. The bonus was given to Lin Qingya, so she reluctantly went to college.
After going to school, Lin Qingya has been working hard, relying on the money she earned from working and scholarships to support herself in college. However, after her brother became disabled in her sophomore year, the family's finances were very tight. Her parents even begged her to drop out of school and go out to work to help the family. Due to financial difficulties, Lin Qingya knelt down and begged her parents to let her finish reading. Her persistence almost caused her parents to cut off relations with her.
After finally persisting until I graduated from college, my parents began to make arrangements to find a partner for my brother. My brother had no job to begin with, and after becoming disabled, he was unwilling to do anything. He lived with his parents in a small two-bedroom apartment of 40 to 50 square meters. It is even more difficult to find a partner when you need someone but no one, money but no money, and a house but no house.
However, Lin Qingya's parents were very patriarchal and did not want to see their son stay single all his life, so they asked someone to go to rural areas where conditions were not good to find potential partners for their son. However, they heard that Lin Qingya's brother was disabled. , has no job, and only has a non-agricultural household registration, so no girl is willing to marry him.
After a few years, Lin Qingya's eldest brother was already thirty-two years old. Although he had lost his ambition due to his physical disability, his physical and psychological needs as a man became stronger as he grew older. He began to desperately want to find a mother-in-law to marry, and he was arguing with his parents at home every day, asking his parents to buy him a house, and asking his parents to find him a wife so that he could continue the Lin family lineage.
Lin Qingya's parents naturally hope to find a partner for their son. Not only is it a matter of continuing the family line, he is already in his thirties and has some physical disabilities. The parents feel that if he finds a wife, he can always take care of him in the future. Otherwise, what will he, a disabled person, do if his parents are gone one day
Therefore, Lin Qingya's parents forcibly handed over half of this burden to Lin Qingya. At that time, Lin Qingya had graduated and was working in Yanjing. Her parents kept asking her to send money home every month, saying that it would be given to her in the countryside. My brother told me about a daughter-in-law. The conditions of her family are very simple. The girl’s parents have a son who is of marriageable age. The family wants to build a new house for their son in the countryside to get married. Therefore, marrying a daughter requires a gift of 80,000 yuan. It doesn’t matter if it is less. , In addition, the woman also asked her family to buy another house in the county, otherwise she would not get married.
A house in the county town costs at least RMB 60,000 to RMB 70,000. Including decoration and a gift of RMB 80,000, it will cost at least RMB 170,000 to RMB 80,000. For Lin Qingya’s parents, it is impossible to get this huge sum of money. from.
But there is no other way. The matchmaker has been talking for several rounds, and this one is the lowest asking price. Others heard that their son is a disabled person, and even the glory gift is one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, and there is no need to talk about a penny less. Although the lion is talking loudly, others also have their own reasons: Your son is permanently disabled, how much does it cost to hire a nanny to take care of him for the rest of his life? What's more, he has no job and no income. I don't know how I will live with him in the future. I have to be prepared to endure hardships and hardships. Is ten or two hundred thousand still expensive
Lin Qingya's parents couldn't afford the money, so Lin Qingya's brother couldn't get married. Now his brother would make trouble at home every night after drinking three or three ounces of wine, and sometimes he would even break things, which made Lin Qingya's parents angry. I cry every day, and call Lin Qingya almost every few days, forcing her to send more money to her home. It was even worse a few days ago. My father called and said that the woman his brother told me about was in a hurry at home. Before the Lunar New Year, If the gift money is not given, I will not consider it. Now my parents and brother are jumping up and down anxiously, but the family has no money and cannot borrow it, so they can only place their hopes on this person who works in Yanjing. A daughter.
Lin Qingya's father asked Lin Qingya to find a way to get 150,000 yuan for her family. Lin Qingya became anxious. A total of 180,000 yuan was needed to get married. She asked herself if she wanted 150,000 yuan, how could she get so much money? I have been working for more than three years. In addition to basic living expenses, I have sent all the remaining money home. In the past three years, I have sent tens of thousands of yuan to my family. I don’t even have a deposit of five thousand yuan. , but when my brother gets married, the family is only willing to bear 30,000 yuan and let them handle the rest. Isn’t this really unreasonable
The answer my father gave was very simple and even rude: "Your brother is in a bad mood. He drinks and smokes all day long. My pension is not enough for him to drink and smoke. Do you think you can save all the money you give to the family? No! To supplement the family income? Otherwise, what will your parents, your brother, and I have to eat? Will we starve to death?"
