Luo Sheng decided to expand the company's staff to about 100 people. Now that he has sufficient funds, he will not waste it blindly. This money is used as much as possible for the development and growth of the company. Now he can save more with future financing. Money also sold fewer shares at the same time.
I found an office space that afternoon, and quickly signed a one-year contract in the building of the "Golden Trade Building".
The 5A-level office is located in the center of the city and the surrounding environment is complete with various supporting facilities such as medical care, transportation, and shopping, with an area of about 800 square meters.
At 16:45 pm, the contract was signed with the owner, and Luo Sheng plans to move the office from the original studio into the Jinmao Building in three days.
At about 17:00 pm at the moment, Luo Shengzheng and Irene were waiting at a waiting station on the street. The office space was quickly finalized and they were ready to meet Bluestar Technology Studio.
Luo Sheng smiled, "Our company now looks like a serious company."
Starting a business is not easy. It's hard to be a cow and a horse. You also have to fight with VCs. You don't want VCs to die. You have to deal with them.
However, it is tiring but also very fulfilling to do what I am interested in.
In terms of travel, Luo Sheng also pondered the need to have a travel tool. It would be a waste of time to go out and do some things. Now it is good to say that in the future, the company's plate will become larger and the wasted time will be enough to buy a few cars. Luxury cars.
Eileen, who was standing next to her, said suddenly, "Roger, it's almost time for dinner. We might as well have a meal outside and go back."
After hearing the words, Luo Sheng replied without thinking: "I'm not hungry."
Erin: "..."
Am I hungry?
The girl was so angry that he stomped his feet.
...
After returning to the studio, Luo Sheng called Bai Lang, Feng Yi, Lu Siming, Su Yali, and the grieving Irene to the living room lounge. Luo Sheng looked around at everyone.
"Everyone is a student, and there is a very important thing to discuss with you."
Everyone listened carefully. Luo Shengdun looked at them sincerely for a moment and said, "I really appreciate your joining the team in the early stage of the company's most difficult business. Your participation is for the BlueSpace website and for Bluestar Technology. It has brought tremendous help. The company is now on track. Dayong and I have decided to drop out of school, but you are still students. Starting tomorrow, the company will move to Jinmao Tower. For the five of you, you have to make a choice. Did I drop out of school like Xu Yong to become a full-time entrepreneur or stay in school? "
"If you choose to stay in school, I will pay each of you a cash payment of 280,000 yuan to thank you for your contribution in the beginning of the company. This money is the after-tax amount; if you choose to drop out and continue to stay In the company and become a full-time professional, there is no such money, but each of the five of you will immediately get 270 options shares in the company. You certainly can't afford so much money to buy these 270 shares, I can give you An exercise period of at least 10 years is a special treatment for the initial team. "
After speaking, Luo Sheng looked at the four of Bai Lang and Feng Yi. As for the girl Ai Lin, this Luo Sheng had a little headache. The girl was chasing in secret. She just pretended to be a silly act. The girl came back. Along the way, the rather resentful gaze could still be felt.
At this moment, a few of them calculated in their hearts. This may undoubtedly be a major choice to change their lives, as well as the value of 270 shares. With the pre-A round of financing, the completion of this round of capital increase and share expansion, Bluestar Technology's shares increased to 220,000 shares, that is, the current valuation of each share is 5,000 yuan value, 270 shares is 1.35 million yuan.
This is an option stock to buy with money, which costs 1.35 million to buy.
The company will grow stronger in the future,
Even if the IPO is successfully listed in the future, the value will be even higher. The future of these 270 shares is absolutely not a dream, and even higher is not impossible. The greater the contribution, the higher the option reward, and everything is possible in the future.
Feng Yi thought of these hearts could not help but flutter.
"I would like to stay with the company."
Just then Irene Yan smiled and took the lead in making a decision.
"I also dropped out of school!"
"I stay with the company."
"Likewise, I believe that following the boss can make a big career."
"No more reading, drop out!"
Soon everyone made a decision, and no one chose to stay in school.
Luo Sheng still looked at them solemnly: "Of course I am super happy to be left behind, but as your leader, I need to be responsible to you. Don't make a hasty decision. This decision may have a huge impact on your future life. Impact, the company's current development momentum is very good, I also believe that the future can be successful, but what will happen in the future, we do not know, IT Internet is an industry that will change dramatically every year or even month. "
Whether Bai Lang and Feng Yi are excellent or not, it is still not completely clear. If they are simply measured by their current capabilities, Bai Lang and Lu Siming can only be regarded as excellent programmers. Take 1 The monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is extremely high, and so is Su Yali.
However, they are all so young. It is really hard to say what their future achievements will be.
Young is the greatest capital, and as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely grow.
Feng Yi is pretty good.
However, Luo Sheng still reserves 270 shares from the option pool for each of them, because they are members of the initial team of Bluestar Technology. Without them, the company would not be able to operate as well in the early stage of development, and this directly As a result, Luo Sheng had a greater say in the negotiations with VCs, because the company had a good initial development, high valuation, and less equity for investment.
On the contrary, the valuation will inevitably decrease, and the equity transferred after receiving the investment may be 10% or more. It is also possible.
Luo Sheng only allocated shares for Bailang and Feng Yi, a few of their initial team members. This was also a decision after consulting Qin Weimu and asking her to help staff analysis.
Lu Siming said firmly: "Boss, I already thought about it, this is my decision, and I am willing to take potential risks for this."
Others also nodded to indicate the resolution. They have reached the age of eighteen. They have made it clear that Luo Sheng will not say more, and laughed: "This will be the wisest decision in your life, believe me. "
The crowd believed him inexplicably, and nodded heavily.
After finalizing the questions of several of their students, everyone returned to their respective jobs.
The next three days, the company began an orderly relocation.
From the birth of 407 dormitory, to moving into this studio, and now to the commercial office building of Jinmao Building.
The relocation of the company's office also symbolizes and witnesses the startup's growth from scratch.
...
Three days later, Golden Trade Building.
Early this morning, Luo Sheng brought the company's last batch of people to the new office site. Today the company has completed all the relocation work.
There are several companies on the same floor, two of which are also Internet companies, one game company, and one animation company.
They already knew that they had moved to a new company next door, and they were all very curious when they saw the faces of all college students.
"What kind of company is the next door? Why are they all student faces?"
"Blue Star Technology."
"Blue Star Technology? Technology company?"
"You do n't know about Internet technology companies, Bluestar Technology. It seems your mind needs to be updated. Do n't look down on them as college students. I tell you that the Internet industry has been lively recently, and BlueStar Technology is the Internet The focus of industry news is that the BlueSpace social networking site was developed by this company. This is currently the hottest social networking site on the Internet and is used by college students. Can you guess how much this company is valued? "
"How many?"
"1.1 billion, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Yes, you heard that right, it is 1.1 billion, which is the news that came out a few days ago. After a while in the industry, you can go to Google."
"My God, the valuation is 1.1 billion ????"
"This is not the most exaggerated. According to media reports, several VCs invested 77 million in the pre-A round of financing, and only received 7% equity."
"In the pre-A round of financing, several VCs only add up to 7%? Are their brains amused? Or are there no more money to spend?"
"Who knows ..."
Employees at the next few companies were chatting and talking, but Luo Sheng didn't know and didn't care.
"Wow ~~ Is this where we work in the future?"
Ai Linmei looked around the office space and could not help but shine.
After entering the office space, the team members who came for the first time were curious to take a walk around the office lobby, and some also looked out to the side of the window sill and had a good view, giving them a sweeping view of Shencheng.
The team members are very satisfied with the new office environment. Frankly speaking, everyone was embarrassed to talk to their friends about their work before, but now it is different. At least they are working in Jinmao Tower, and they are decent when they go out.
Everyone walked around, Luo Sheng immediately came to his CEO office, and now also has an independent office, the venue has expanded, and there are several independent offices. For example, Qin Weimu, as the company's CLO, also has an independent office. Office.
An LCD monitor is attached to the desk, which is still very backward for Luo Sheng.
At this point, Bluestar Technology has ushered in a new stage of development.
