The tug-of-war with the capital tycoons on the negotiation table lasted for a long time.
An hour and a half later, Chen Yao walked out of the meeting room with a group of men in suits.
"Boss, how did it go?" Sun Zhennan ran over quickly.
The surrounding teachers and students were also curious. How much was Chen Yao's company worth?
" Guess?" Chen Yao smiled." Guess?"”
"Your company hasn't been established for long. It should be pretty good to have a valuation of 10 to 20 million USD, right?”
"How can that be? He runs a technology company. Why is the valuation so low? It's at least 50 million USD.”
"His company just got the license yesterday. How much can it be worth? It's already good enough to be worth a few million dollars.”
Sun Zhennan grabbed Chen Yao's arm and asked quickly,""How much is it?"
"You're all wrong." Cai Feifei smiled brightly.
She said word by word,"The Lone Horn Beast Company!"”
"Wow!" The surroundings were in an uproar!
Unicorn Corporation? Doesn't that mean his company is worth 1 billion USD?!
In the capital world, there were strict standards for a unicorn company.
Only start-ups that had been established for less than 10 years and had a valuation of more than 1 billion US dollars could be called unicorns.
Every year, forbes would release a list of global unicorn companies.
In other words, Chen Yao's Legend of Trajectory could enter the global unicorn list!
My god, how long has his company been established? He just got the company's business license yesterday, and today he has become a unicorn!
From zero to a unicorn, this was definitely the fastest growing start-up company in the world!
He had just graduated today, and his classmates were so envious!
"Boss, what's the exact valuation?" Sun Zhennan's breathing was heavy.”
Chen Yao stretched out three fingers. His index finger and thumb formed an O shape." 3 billion USD!"
The eyes of the surrounding people turned red, and they pounded their chests in envy.
How great would it be if it were me? I don't have to work after graduation, I can just buy a car, buy a house, and raise a young model!
" I'm not very satisfied," Chen Yao said lightly." I feel that it's just so-so."”
F * ck, f * ck, this was considered average. Owning a unicorn company worth 3 billion was just average.
It was a height that others could not reach even if they worked hard for their entire lives, alright?
The students really wanted to rush over and press him to the ground and rub him, rub him!
……
After that, the capital tycoons left, and top-notch luxury cars slowly drove out of the school.
At night, in the school cafeteria.
The last supper.
Most of the students were going to enter society tomorrow. They had to rely on themselves to survive. This was their last dinner in school. This dinner was especially sumptuous.
Chen Yao and Sun Zhennan walked into the cafeteria and were about to line up to get food.
Cai Feifei walked over and said softly to Chen Yao,""Student Chen, I'll get you food. There's no need to line up.”
She placed a lunchbox in Chen Yao's hands. The dishes inside were all his favorite.
"Aiya, why didn't I do that? I'm so upset.”Sun Zhennan clutched his chest as if he was heartbroken.
"Yes, yes, class monitor. Why are you only giving him food and not us?”The boys around them looked sour as if they had eaten a handful of dog food.
Cai Feifei blushed. She had forgotten that she was a little fat.
"Chen Yao is my friend. I should help him.”
Sun Zhennan joked," Friends? Class monitor, I've never seen you so gentle to Chen Yao before. What's wrong tonight?”
" We'll all leave school tomorrow and go our separate ways," Cai Feifei said righteously." We'll do something for everyone so that we can leave some good memories in your hearts."”
The students could not refute his words.
Chen Yao was too embarrassed to reject the class monitor's kind intentions. He took the lunch box from her and walked towards the dining table after thanking her.
Professor Zhong Guoqiang waved his hand. Chen Yao walked over and sat opposite him.
"Professor Zhong, I was looking for you.”" Who did you introduce me to?" Chen Yao asked.”
It was impossible for him to return to the company often, and he was not good at managing the company. He needed to find a suitable person to be the president of the company.
Professor Zhong smiled mysteriously." In short, she's very strong. You'll be able to meet her the day after tomorrow."”
With Zhong Guoqiang's status in the industry, the person he recommended was definitely not an ordinary person. Chen Yao nodded and ate his rice.
Professor Zhong ate a piece of beef and asked,""How did your discussion with the investors go?”
" No." Chen Yao shook his head." It didn't work out."”
"Why?" Professor Zhong was puzzled. Are you not satisfied with the valuation?"
"No, the valuation is basically satisfactory." " The biggest problem is the equity ratio," Chen Yao said.”
Capital was greedy. Chen Yao had truly experienced this at the negotiation table.
According to their financing plan, they were willing to invest 2 billion USD in Legendary Trajectory and hold 66% of the company's shares.
Although he could get a lot of money, the price was high. He had to pay most of the shares, which was unacceptable to Chen Yao.
The subsequent negotiations with the capital giants made them make concessions. Their equity ratio was reduced to 55%, and Chen Yao's equity increased to 45%.
Moreover, it adopted the AM/B equity structure.
As the founder of Legendary Trajectory, Chen Yao could control 80% of the voting rights. In other words, the company was still his and he was still in control.
With this kind of A/B equity structure, it would not be like Apple's founder, Steve jobs, who was kicked out of the company he founded.
However, Chen Yao still could not accept the low proportion of shares.
A big investor said," Young man, 45% is not low. Look at the founders of technology companies in the world. How many of them have more than 20% of the shares?"
Ten to two billion dollars was not a small amount. It was a huge temptation for an entrepreneur to get around it.
However, if he agreed, Chen Yao would definitely regret it in the future.
In the future, the value of a Legendary Trajectory would be at least equivalent to a Ali Penguin.
Chen Yao felt a little distressed that they would lose most of the shares and the money.
But then again, as a start-up, he didn't have much bargaining chips when facing the big investors.
Even so, Chen Yao would not compromise with the capital.
"How do you plan to solve your company's financial problem?" Zhong Guoqiang asked while drinking the chicken soup.”
" The capital financing is not sealed," Chen Yao said while eating the shredded potatoes." The team will continue to negotiate with them."”
"I'm still thinking about Plan B. Even without compromising with the capital, I can still hold 100% of the shares in my hands.”
Professor Zhong was shocked. How was this possible?
……
After the meal, Chen Yao and Sun Zhennan walked out of the cafeteria.
It was the graduation party later. Chen Yao planned to sing a song with his roommates to put an end to his student days.
Chen Yao looked at Sun Zhennan.”
