"I don't know."

The third in command of Guiai.com had a showdown with the second in command, and then found out that he was the one being shown the showdown. Then, the two of them entered a desert of communication.

Eating in silence, riding in the car in silence, exchanging glances in silence.

After a long time, when they arrived at the Expo Center, Zhong Zhiling stood on the side of the road and finally broke the silence.

After hearing what her boyfriend said, Lv Haiying asked calmly, "What don't you understand?"

"I feel like I don't understand anything anymore." Zhong Zhiling said sadly, "Nothing is interesting anymore."

"By 'boring' do you mean that Senior Brother shouldn't have asked you to start a business, or that Senior Brother shouldn't have given you the right to choose now?" Lu Haiying asked seriously, and added, "Or, that Senior Brother shouldn't have told me about it, and should have helped you keep it secret from me?"

Zhong Zhiling turned his head to look at his girlfriend and said self-deprecatingly: "Did he really let me choose?"

Lv Haiying looked at her boyfriend quietly and said, "If you really require Senior Brother to do everything perfectly, then shouldn't I also ask you, do you let me choose?"

Zhong Zhiling was speechless and quite embarrassed.

"Zhi Ling, you asked me before, and I told you my thoughts, but I still respect your own thoughts." Lu Haiying didn't dwell on what she asked. She paused and continued, "If you think it's better to go back to graduate school and become a doctor, then I respect you."

Zhong Zhiling's throat slid and his lips were tightly pursed.

Lu Haiying finished her words: "Also, don't worry about money. No matter how much Guiai.com sells for, I can use all the money from the liquidation of my shares to support your schooling. You can explain everything to your uncle and aunt. In this way, they don't have to worry, and you don't have to bear any burden in the future. You can be an excellent doctor."

She smiled sweetly and finally said, "Whatever your choice is, I respect it. Shouldn't lovers want the best for each other?"

Logically, he respected her choice; emotionally, he was even willing to use the money from the sale of her shares.

Zhong Zhiling stared at his girlfriend in a daze, with mixed feelings, and he felt that he had heard another hidden meaning in her words.

According to this logic, each party wants the other to be better and respects each other's choices. She respects her own choice, but what about herself?

Shouldn't we respect her too?

What is this money? Is it a breakup fee?
Zhong Zhiling looked at his girlfriend, looked at her sincere eyes, and instantly doubted his own meanness. Was he overthinking? Was he overthinking?
Is this her honesty? Is this her control?
Where is senior brother?
He had clearly promised me, and I don't know when he told Xiaoying the truth. Did he expect me to do this, or was he really sincere?
He kept it a secret from me! No, no, no, hiding it from me is not good for me, right?

Is it rules or sincerity? Is there sincerity in rules? Is there rules in sincerity? Is there both rules and sincerity?
A series of thoughts spun rapidly in my mind.

Zhong Zhiling rubbed his face and wanted to shout to the sky, Zhi Cheng, Zhi Cheng, I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!

Just when he was feeling extremely complicated and at a loss, a scene of him sitting in the police station two months ago suddenly came to his mind - the senior brother in a white coat pushed the door open and walked in, followed by a calm look he gave him.

Zhong Zhiling recalled the conversation between them after his senior brother rescued him.

——When I think about the fact that my ability value is only 8.6, and yours is a full 100...

——It is difficult to grow up without experiencing poverty; it is difficult to grow up without experiencing setbacks.

Zhong Zhiling's excitement suddenly subsided, and he murmured, "The essence of man is the sum of social relations."

Lv Haiying didn't hear clearly and asked, "What? What did you say?"

Zhong Zhiling did not answer immediately. He was stunned for a while, then suddenly calmed down and shook his head, saying, "I just remembered some of the discussions I wrote before. Marx and Engels said in The German Ideology that the way people produce their own means of subsistence depends first on the characteristics of the means of subsistence they already have and need to reproduce."

Lu Haiying was a little confused: "What? What do you mean?"

Zhong Zhiling pursed his lips and said slowly: "This mode of production should not be examined only from the perspective of the reproduction of individual physical existence. To a greater extent, it is a certain mode of activity of these individuals, a certain way of expressing their own lives, and a certain way of life."

Lu Haiying still didn't understand and looked at her boyfriend in front of her.

"So..." Zhong Zhiling looked at the guests and audience at the Internet Conference who had already left in the evening, "What a person is like is consistent with what he produces. It is consistent with what he produces and how he produces. This is determined by the material conditions for production."

Lu Haiying frowned slightly: "So?"

"So, I have to do what kind of production I want to do, depending on what kind of person I want to be." Zhong Zhiling smiled and asked, "Do you understand?"

Lu Haiying didn’t quite understand. She just felt that her boyfriend seemed to have drawn nourishment from "The German Ideology". That was probably the case.

She frowned, shook her head, and looked across the street: "I think I saw my senior brother."

Zhong Zhiling also looked out and saw his senior brother approaching from afar to the traffic light across the road. He said, "I wonder if he has communicated with the three buyers."

Lv Haiying watched the red light jump to green, and she slowly understood what her boyfriend was saying. She asked, "What kind of person a person is depends on what he does and how he does it."

Zhong Zhiling tilted his head and smiled: "Almost. If I have to add more, a person's behavior, activities and social roles can largely reveal his essential characteristics. Many factors work together to shape this person's characteristics."

He gave an example: "Let's simplify our understanding. If we want to evaluate Baidu's Robin Li, we must examine what Baidu has done."

Yu Xing, who hurried over, was stunned when he heard this: "Why are you evaluating him?"

Zhong Zhiling asked: "Brother Xing, did you see him at the venue today?"

Yu Xing nodded: "I see, it's quite far away."

He added casually, "Evaluating a person requires multiple dimensions. We are all small fry. What good things can we say? Let's go, let's go and eat first. Brother Feng and I didn't find Zhenai.com at noon or just now, but I have already asked the organizing committee."

Yu Xing took the lead, and the remaining three followed.

"Can the organizing committee give us the contact information?" Lu Haiying asked.

“Normally they wouldn’t give it to me.” Yu Xing said with a smile, “But I said I have a speech tomorrow and as a college student entrepreneur I don’t have the confidence, so I want to find some industry seniors to correct my content. The person on the other end of the phone agreed to help me find it and text me when he finds it.”

Lu Haiying and Zhong Zhiling both nodded, saying that their senior brother could always find strange solutions.

The four of them didn't care too much and still found a small street restaurant.

However, when Yu Xing sat down, he heard the report from the second-in-command.

"Brother, Zhiling and I talked about the future." Lu Haiying said directly, "My current idea is to continue to work with you in the company."

Yu Xing glanced at the expression of the second-in-command, then glanced at the third-in-command, guessing that the two of them had made their words clear.

He nodded slightly, not asking about the communication process, but asking about the decision: "Zhi Ling, what do you say?"

Zhong Zhiling did not hesitate this time: "I will continue to do it too."

"Come on." Yu Xing simply raised the plastic cup that had just been filled with beer, "The small team for selling the company and re-employment has been established, let's drink from this cup together!"

All three of them raised their glasses and drank the wine together.

Zhong Zhiling finally asked, "Brother Xing, why don't you ask me how Xiaoying and I talked? Why don't you ask me what I think?"

"The past is important, but what's more important is to focus on the present and look to the future." Yu Xing said calmly, "We have only been in this company for three months, and a lot has changed. What about the next three years? Even ten or thirty years, what will the situation be like then?"

He looked at his junior brother, a smile on his face: "Of course, I'm not saying that I won't communicate with you about the past, but I don't think I did anything wrong. If there is a problem, you should find the reason yourself first, and then we can talk."

Song Yufeng was a little confused as he listened nearby, but he felt that this sentence was... too overbearing.

Zhong Zhiling did not refute or express dissatisfaction. He just took the bottle to pour the wine, stood up and said, "Brother Xing, from the past three months to this moment, my heart has really been boiling in the oil pan. I toast to you."

Yu Xing clinked his glasses together, and after finishing his drink, he asked Lv Haiying with a smile, "Xiaoying, do you feel that Zhiling is a little different today?"

Lu Haiying thought for two seconds and commented: "It's like my heart has rolled back from there."

Yu Xing laughed.

The small restaurant served cold dishes, and soon after, hot dishes were served.

Yu Xing ate a little, talked about what he had seen today, and then talked about the equity of the new company. He proposed a method of discussion with Song Yufeng: "We plan to distribute equity according to the proportion of investment, and set up a 10% option pool. How about it?"

Zhong Zhiling and Lv Haiying looked at each other, but neither spoke immediately. Song Yufeng said at this time: "This is a very reasonable way of distribution. Not only me, but also the angel investors that Mr. Yu has contacted think so. You take 50, I take 12, and we will accept angel investment after our company is established."

The second and third in command of Guiai.com exchanged glances again. This seemed to be a little different from what the senior brother said. At least, the amount of 50 yuan was not determined in advance, and it involved angel investors...

Lu Haiying immediately put her chopsticks on the small bowl and objected strongly: "I don't agree! This is unreasonable!"

Song Yufeng was shocked: "Why is it unreasonable?"

"Funds are funds, but there are also people!" Lu Haiying said firmly, "First of all, such a setting ignores the value of people. Then, I think that senior brother should have a necessary bonus in addition to the investment ratio!"

Song Yufeng was stunned. He looked at the staunch supporter of Mr. Yu in front of him, then looked at Mr. Yu who hadn't spoken, and then realized, "Okay, you guys agreed in advance to come and scare me, right?"

Lv Haiying has long been practicing the concept of "treating others with sincerity". At this time, she also fully demonstrated her honesty and swore without hesitation: "If I communicate with my senior brother in advance to scare you, I will give birth to a son without a skin swallow!"

Song Yufeng: “…”

Zhong Zhiling suddenly coughed twice. It’s totally unnecessary. It’s totally unnecessary!

Yu Xing said briefly at this time: "We really didn't talk about it in advance."

Zhong Zhiling took over the conversation: "If the shares can't reflect Brother Xing's value, then what's the point? Can anyone start a business? If I put in 10 and Brother Xing put in 10, do I have the nerve to take the same shares as Brother Xing?"

"Does this mean that Brother Xing is asked to contribute both labor and money, but only the money is calculated?"

"I absolutely cannot agree with this!"

Yu Xing groaned: "This..."

He looked at Song Yufeng.

Song Yufeng's face had turned dark, but he didn't expect that Mr. Yu didn't speak to him.

"It's not that Brother Feng insisted on this. The investors I contacted also had the same idea." Yu Xing directed his criticism at the investors who were not present.

Lv Haiying's expression eased a little: "I thought it was Brother Feng who wanted to do this. Brother, there are many investors in the world, but our company has only one soul. If this positioning is not recognized, then I would rather change investors. Even if there are no investors, don't we make Guiai.com a success?"

The second-in-command of Guiai.com has made a powerful statement.

Zhong Zhiling also said immediately: "Yes, there are so many investors in the world. As long as our project is good, are we afraid that we can't find one? Guiai.com has nothing but it has been built. I don't believe that we can't make this project now that we have money and people. If anyone disagrees, then they are not on the same page with us, and there is no need to force ourselves to get together!"

The third in command of Guiai.com is powerful and resolute.

Even though Yu Xing is the soul of the project, he has to seriously consider everyone's opinions.

Song Yufeng's face looked grim. These two had forced him into a corner...

At this moment, Yu Xing's cell phone on the table vibrated. It was the contact information sent by the organizing committee.

"Oh, that went well." Yu Xing wrote down the number in his address book and called Gong Haiyan of Jiayuan.com without hesitation. She was the founder and was known as the "No. 1 matchmaker on the Internet" back then. This time she came directly to attend the meeting.

The discussion about equity at the restaurant table died down naturally, and the three of them waited for Yu Xing to call them.

The call was connected quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Gong. I am Yu Xing, who will be speaking at the Internet Community Development Forum tomorrow." Yu Xing did not introduce Guiai.com, but mentioned that everyone was an equal participant, and then said enthusiastically, "Tomorrow at 4:30 pm, I would like to invite you to come to the branch to listen to my speech."

Gong Haiyan was very surprised and asked with a smile: "Is there any other invitation like this?"

Yu Xing then said, "Hey, Mr. Gong, I'm a college student starting a business, and I'm worried that there won't be any guests on stage when I speak tomorrow, so I shamelessly found a senior in the industry."

Gong Haiyan was even more surprised: "Are you also doing internet dating?"

"I am somewhat involved in the love business. My current company is Guiai.com, and its business is mainly university student love contracts." Yu Xing formally introduced his identity. "By the way, Jiayuan.com is still negotiating with us about an acquisition."

Gong Haiyan vaguely remembered what was mentioned in the report, and it seemed that this was the case.

She thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "Tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. Well, what time do you have? I have to go to the Digital Media Marketing Forum tomorrow afternoon. I have already promised my friend."

Yu Xing was not disappointed. He reduced his request and was still as enthusiastic as a pure college student: "Okay, okay, Mr. Gong, if you can spare some time, please try to help me. I know that you, Mr. Ma from Alibaba, and Mr. Li from Baidu are all very busy. They also have appointments. You can only try to spare some time."

Gong Haiyan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll try my best. I'll see if the Digital Media Marketing Forum is exciting then."

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you." Yu Xing maintained his attitude and ended the call.

The three onlookers listened to Mr. Yu’s invitation and felt that it was…smooth and flowing.

Song Yufeng couldn't help but ask, "Have you already arranged it in your mind?"

Yu Xing looked at Song Yufeng in surprise: "What are you making up?"

He shook his head and dialed the number of Mu Yan from Baihe.com, the company's co-founder.

It was almost the same rhetoric. He first stated his identity as a speaker at the conference, then used colleagues in the industry to build closer relations, then brought up the acquisition negotiations of Guiai.com, and finally lowered his requirements and pulled out a big shot, but this time there was also Gong Haiyan, the founder of a friendly company who had actually been contacted.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Yu Xing immediately contacted Li Song, the founder of Zhenai.com, and finally added Gong and Mu.

Just when Song Yufeng was about to speak, he heard Mr. Yu mumbling to himself as he flipped through the address book on his phone.

"Okay, now we can call Alibaba's CEO Ma."

He, Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying all held their breath in concentration.

Yu Xing pressed the phone, put it to his ear and listened for two seconds, then suddenly put the phone down and said with a smile: "I was just kidding you guys, do you really think I have his phone number?"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. This person...

Lv Haiying expressed the same thoughts: "Brother, I'm not surprised whose phone number you got."

Zhong Zhiling said promptly: "Just for this set of connections, it's worth 1% of the shares."

Yu Xing looked at his two junior brothers and sisters, and felt that it was hard to refuse their kindness. He then looked at Song Yufeng, whose face was uncertain, and asked helplessly: "Brother Feng..."

Song Yufeng frowned deeply: "Boss Yu, you think so too?"

"I don't think so." Yu Xing denied it first, then said seriously, "But after hearing what Xiaoying and Zhiling said, I can bear it."

Song Yufeng looked at these three people, at these three entrepreneurial teams that emerged from the medical university, and surrendered: "Okay, okay, okay, with your set of skills, with your set of skills, you are worth 5% of the shares!"

Lu Haiying quickly opened a bottle of beer, and Zhong Zhiling immediately stood up to pour wine for Song Yufeng.

Yu Xing raised his glass: "Okay, now that you've said that, since we're all gentlemen first and villains second, let's make it clear that voting rights and equity ratios are separated. I hold the controlling rights, and the initial shareholding ratio will be allocated according to the common value of funds and individuals."

The voting rights are modeled after those of many large companies, where a small amount of equity can be used to control the board of directors, such as Google's AB shares.

Different from Guiai.com, Baixiaosheng’s control and equity model must be clear.

Lv Haiying agreed, "Okay, let's do it! Brother, good luck with your speech tomorrow!"

Zhong Zhiling smiled and said, "Done! Let's negotiate the price smoothly tomorrow!"

Song Yufeng knew that if he did it, it would mean he agreed, but this gave him a new voting right, although it didn't seem to have much to do with him.

He felt a little uncomfortable but had to agree: "Let's do it!"

Yu Xing drank the whole drink, then looked at the three people sitting with him and felt that their hearts were trustworthy.

People’s hearts are available.
