Chapter 68 I Will Give You Financial Freedom
Chapter 68 I Will Give You Financial Freedom
The voting ratio of AB shares is actually telling investors clearly that you can forget about the management rights, not now and not in the future!
The shares of the option pool are held by a separately established investment company, and Xu Shenxue is the chairman of the company, which means that the shares are held by Xu Shenxue!
In order to prevent accidents, an irreversible option pool stock concerted action agreement was signed... Even if Xu Shenxue no longer serves as the chairman of the company in the future, even if the shares in the option pool are granted to employees, these shares still have a concerted action agreement.
Through the unanimous action agreement of AB shares plus part of the option pool, even if Zhiyun Technology conducts multiple rounds of financing in the future, distributes more shares or even goes public, Xu Shenxue will be able to firmly control the management rights.
Investors don't have any objections to this... but they can't have any objections even if they do.
Because of AB shares, Xu Shenxue holds the option pool on behalf of others. This is a prerequisite for accepting investment. If the investment institution does not accept this, you will not even be given a chance to negotiate.
There are many other details. After all, this is an extremely large and even groundbreaking Series A financing. The situation is very complicated. The contract alone is a thick pile... Otherwise, both parties would not have brought a large team of lawyers to negotiate.
Without a team of lawyers watching over you, you, Xu Shenxue, may feel at ease, but the investors are still not!
After the investors left one after another, Xu Shenxue also left the meeting room with Kong Weiquan and other executives, and then looked at the dozens of employees waiting outside. These were the backbone employees who were eligible to receive options...
"I have good news for you all. Our financing has been successful and we will hold a formal press conference to announce it tomorrow!"
Xu Shenxue then said, "I have even better news for you all. The company's option pool has been established. We will grant options to outstanding employees based on the situation. The specific plan will be announced later, but it will be a lot!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was already boiling, Xu Shenxue continued, "If everything goes well, on the day the company goes public, there will be countless millionaires in the company!"
“Some of the best and most capable employees can even become multi-millionaires or even billionaires!”
"Everyone, show your determination and courage and continue to fight for three to five years. Then I will make you rich overnight and financially free!"
After encouraging his employees, Xu Shenxue also left Zhiyun Technology and prepared to go off work.
Today, there were consecutive press conferences and a financing negotiation. Even though Xu Shenxue is young and energetic, he feels a little tired now.
After going downstairs and getting in the car, Xu Shenxue remembered that he seemed to have made an appointment with Lin Yaxian for a midnight snack. Looking at the time, it was now ten o'clock in the evening, which was not too late.
I immediately called Lin Yaxian and the call was connected quickly.
"Yes, it's me. I'm done here!"
"Red Beach? I know, that's a nice place!"
"You're already over there, okay, I'll be right over!"
After Xu Shenxue hung up the phone, he said to the driver, Xiao Chen, "Go to Red Beach!"
The driver Xiao Chen said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, put on your seat belts!"
Driver Xiao Chen: Recently, when Xu Shenxue had nothing to do at work, he would drive the company's other ordinary vehicles around the area to familiarize himself with the terrain and roads, and learn about some landmark buildings... There were no mobile phone navigation systems back then, and the car navigation systems were not very good.
So the driver Xiao Chen could only drive slowly by himself...he didn't have to pay for the gas for the company's car anyway.
He also knew about the Red Beach. It was not actually a beach, but a camping site next to a seaside park in the northeast, with large grassy areas and nice green landscapes.
Many people would come here to camp, set up a barbecue grill, set up a tent, look at the stars and so on. He had heard from his administrative and logistics colleagues in the company that they wanted to have a reunion here, but they were unable to do so due to the high expenses.
However, when the driver Xiao Chen drove in today, he did not find any other vehicles in the parking lot, nor did he see any large number of people inside.
After parking the car, a staff member came running over. The driver Xiao Chen responded. After a few brief exchanges, the staff member came forward and said, "Mr. Xu, welcome to the Red Beach Campground. Please follow me. Miss Lin is waiting for you inside!"
Xu Shenxue nodded slightly, then stepped forward. The driver Xiao Chen followed behind him, but the camp seemed a little deserted today. Large tracts of grass were empty. Although the lights were still on, there were few people. All he could see were staff members.
After walking for a while, the driver Xiao Chen saw the boss' blind date, Miss Lin... Miss Lin had changed her clothes again. She was no longer wearing the more formal dress she had worn in the afternoon. Instead, she was wearing jeans and a simple lavender T-shirt, with her hair curled up, exuding a youthful vibe.
Looking at this rich girl, the driver Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh that comparison is the thief of envy. He is in his twenties and still a single man, but his boss is surrounded by women one after another, and none of them looks bad, they are all extremely beautiful women.
Not to mention that the Miss Lin in front of him is a veritable rich second generation... I don’t know how much money her family has, but when the driver Xiao Chen went to pick her up in the afternoon, he picked her up at the door of her house... That’s a villa.
I don’t know about villas in other places, but the villas in this area are really expensive.
With a sigh in his heart, the driver Xiao Chen did not continue to follow the boss, but was led by the staff to the room next door to have a rest. There was barbecue prepared there, and there was even a staff member who greeted him and made barbecue for him.
It’s a pity that I have to drive later and can’t drink!
Otherwise, it would be nice to eat barbecue and drink in a place like this!
Xu Shenxue walked up to Lin Yaxian alone, greeted her briefly, and said, "This place has a nice view!"
Lin Yaxian said: "It's not bad, I designed the garden here myself!"
Xu Shenxue asked: "Oh? Is this place your home?"
Lin Yaxian said, "Well, I liked camping when I was a kid, but my parents were busy and didn't have time to accompany me, and they didn't feel comfortable letting me go alone with my classmates and friends!"
"So my dad just got me this campground. Whenever I want to camp, I come here. It's more convenient!"
Xu Shenxue was a little surprised at this time. The Lin family's father's behavior was rare. It was very common to give various assets to children. Xu's father also left a lot of assets to his sister Xu Weiwei.
It is rare for someone like Lin's father to directly provide a camping site just for his daughter to camp.
But this is not too surprising, because this thing is not a luxury for ordinary families, but for families like theirs, it is actually nothing.
And it’s not like the money is wasted. This is an industry that can make money continuously.
People spent money to build a camping site for their daughter, and within a few years the camping site made back the money... and even more.
Lin Yaxian continued: "I think you've been busy all day, and it's just right for you to relax in a quiet place like this!"
Xu Shenxue glanced at her. Under the light, her face looked delicate and beautiful. He then said, "Thank you. This place is great!"
Without asking, one would know that this place was closed to the public today in order to entertain him. Without the noise of outsiders, it seemed especially quiet!
In the central urban area of Shenzhen, it is a pleasure to be able to have a midnight snack in such a quiet place.
The two chatted while eating barbecue, but they didn't drink any alcohol. Both of them didn't like drinking, so they drank beverages instead.
After a barbecue supper, Xu Shenxue suggested walking back. It wasn't far anyway, so they could take a walk to help digest the food.
The two of them walked slowly on the road and chatted a lot, but they only talked about some relatively superficial topics and did not go into too much depth.
Lin Yaxian talked about her college life and her internship experience at school, while Xu Shenxue talked about some trivial things he encountered at work.
Two people were walking slowly in the front, and the two drivers behind were driving their own cars, following slowly on the side of the road with their hazard lights on... and turning on their headlights to light the way for the couple in front!
Controlling the speed so slowly is really a test of the driver's skills!
