Chapter 411 The Way of a Gentleman

Li Mu always felt that the direction of life is a very subtle thing. A little bit of external influence may change a person's established route, especially after rebirth, he has this kind of experience.

So far, the topic of life direction is a false proposition for others, but it is true for Li Mu. For example, Liu Qingdong. If Li Mu did not appear, he would definitely follow the established route of his previous life: starting a business in Zhongguancun, trying e-commerce in SARS, founding JD.com, breaking up with his girlfriend, rising JD.com, marrying a post-90s internet celebrity, becoming a winner in life.

But Li Mu appeared in his life in 2002 just like a bright beacon on the road of life. Even if Li Mu did not summon him, he would make a decision different from his previous life because of Li Mu's dazzlingness. During the last time he chatted, Liu Qingdong revealed his intention to try the waters of the Internet. This was the decision that he made subtly after seeing the light shining on Li Mu, a college younger brother.

If he started the Internet in advance, he would not have the idea of ​​doing B2 e-commerce due to SARS. Perhaps he would try other Internet projects. In short, regardless of whether Li Mu established contact with him, his life path has been influenced by Li Mu and has changed from his previous life.

As for whether this change is good or bad for him, Li Mu is not sure, and there is no need to be sure. Now that he has captured Liu Qingdong's entrepreneurial aspiration, he will be his partner in this life.

The only regret is that the future little internet celebrity in Jinling, who is only nine years old now, may have missed the train for Senior Brother Liu early.

Li Mu thinks this is a good thing. If there are fewer stories of girls marrying rich men of their fathers in this society, they can also give more confidence to young people in the future. It is better to leave the girls of the future to the boys of the future to conquer them.

Li Mu sat in a hotel room, waiting for the arrival of Senior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Gong. The couple was more than ten minutes ahead of the agreed time, and as soon as they entered the door, they could see that the two of them were intimate and looked full of spring. They were so unhappy.

Li Mu looked at the two of them and joked: "Senior brother, senior sister, why are you so happy?"

Senior Brother Liu laughed and said, "I'm not happy after waiting for your call after so long?"

Gong Xiaojing also echoed: "Yes, I'll transfer all the stores after the New Year. I'm waiting for your call during this period."

Li Mu hurriedly invited the two of them to sit down and said with a smile: "How can we talk about the summoning? I trust Senior Brother Liu's abilities very much, so I just want to do something with Senior Brother Liu. I have been busy some time ago, so I didn't take time to have a good chat with Senior Brother Liu. Today, we will take this opportunity to start the matter and talk thoroughly. If everyone thinks there is no problem, we can start it."

Liu Rongdong said excitedly: "I have been prepared for a long time. You can decide how to cooperate in detail."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's order the dishes first, let's talk while eating."

After ordering the dishes, Li Mu and Liu Qingdong used tea instead of wine, drinking and chatting. Li Mu didn't hide anything, and said very frankly: "I'm too busy with things now. Muye Technology is internally testing a heavyweight product. The game company has also started internal testing of a game agent from South Korea. In addition to these, there are some miscellaneous things in private. Now let me do some small things, maybe I can still take time to deal with it, but if it's time to open up a new field, I have no time to deal with it."

"I am very optimistic about the field of e-commerce, and I tend to start with 2. I have talked to my senior before about Taobao's product planning. In addition, I already have Alipay in hand and Muye Technology's strong user base. It can be said that the links from users to payment can be opened. It basically has the core points of e-commerce. Therefore, I want to set up a new company to specialize in e-commerce."

"The normal operation of the new company is left to the senior brother. We will decide the development strategy, I will decide the technology development, and you will decide the operation and development. According to what I said last time, we will invest together. I will invest 90%, you will invest 10%. The share allocation is: I account for 80%, you will account for 20%. Brother, your 20% share share will be directly reflected in the investment information of the industrial and commercial system when the company is registered."

As soon as Li Mu said this, Senior Brother Liu and his girlfriend Gong Xiaojingdu were stunned.

At first, the two were worried that Li Mu might not be willing to give 10% of Xu Nuo directly to Liu Qingdong, but they did not expect Li Mu to give the answer they most looked forward to.

The additional 10% is directly reflected during industrial and commercial registration, which is the most direct and authoritative way of equity recognition.

Li Mu continued: "I like like-minded friends. Although I don't meet many times with Senior Brother Liu, I can chat very well, so I don't hide my personal relationships about shares. However, since we want to take out real money and do things, it is better to communicate clearly about some things first. Therefore, I have some requirements for shares."

Senior Brother Liu hurriedly said, "If you have any requirements, just say it."

Li Mu nodded and said seriously: "First of all, there is a restriction on competition. I don't need to say this. Any industry will have restrictions on senior leaders. After we cooperate, you and I cannot engage in and invest in companies and individuals in related industries outside of our company."

Senior Brother Liu nodded without hesitation: "This is natural."

Li Mu said again: "The second is the cash out restriction. Before the capital comes in, you and I are the original shareholders. After the capital comes in, you and I must remain consistent in the grand strategy and not cash out too early."

Li Mu has no doubts about Senior Brother Liu's vision. Once he sees the company's development prospects, he should not do anything like cashing out in advance, such as killing chickens and getting eggs. However, it should be clear that most of the capital is not goodwill. They come with money and also bring swords and guns. Li Mu must ensure that Senior Brother Liu, the original shareholder, remains on the united front with him at all times. The requirement to restrict cash out is ugly words, and ugly words are to be said in front.

Senior Brother Liu nodded without hesitation: "Just set the rules for cash out, I have no objection to this."

Li Mu said: "Cash can be cashed out after the tentative round, but the cashing out round must not exceed 20% of the individual shareholding ratio."

"Ok!"

Li Mu also said: "Once our career starts, the restrictions on competition are always there. If there are people who withdraw due to disagreement or different ideas in the middle, as long as the exiter does not engage in the same industry, the shares will always be dominated by individuals. If they engage in the same industry, the shares must be liquidated immediately and the company will be repurchased at the valuation of the latest round of financing."

Senior Brother Liu thought for a moment and agreed. This requirement is not harsh. Everything is still around the core of competition. Moreover, the industry's requirements for competition are far more stringent than Li Mu's requirements. Once most shareholders of companies violate the restrictions on competition, some of them will force their shares to be abandoned and shrink, and some of them will force them to repurchase according to registered capital. Although these are very scams, they are all written into the contract in advance. After the shareholders break up, if they violate them, these will be completely supported by the law.

Repurchase of registered capital is very common and a very detrimental constraint. Even if the company is worth one billion, if the registered capital is only 10 million, 20% of the shares will only require 2 million. In contrast, what Li Mu said is that repurchasing according to the valuation of the latest round of financing is already very kind.

Li Mu's idea is also very simple. Although he is more successful than Liu Qingdong now, he still has some respect for him. He was a great person in the Internet field in his previous life. Being able to cooperate with him is also a fate after rebirth. Therefore, if the cooperation cannot continue in the end, Li Mu also hopes that everyone can part ways peacefully instead of breaking up.

"I want to say so much. If Senior Brother Liu has no objection to the points I said just now, they will be clearly reflected in our contract at that time."

After Li Mu's several requests, Senior Brother Liu and Gong Xiaojing's favor for Li Mu increased a lot. It is rare that there is such a main partner who really spread everything out and negotiated, and there are not many people who are willing to write all the terms agreed on into the contract. Many entrepreneurial veterans initially just got the boss's cake. Before conquering the world, the boss was more generous than anyone else, and he wanted to promise the world that had not yet been obtained to his subordinates, but once the world was defeated, the bird would hide the bow and the rabbit would die and the dog would cook it.

Some people follow the rise of startups and become billionaires, but more people leave in a mess after the success of startups. Li Mu cannot guarantee anything else, but at least he will not let his employees and partners feel heartbroken. This is not only because he is willing to share profits, but also because he firmly believes in the importance of the team. You can make less money, but you cannot lose the hearts of the people.

Although Li Mu is much younger than Senior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Gong, he showed his gentlemanly way in business in front of the two. All the demands in his heart were basically satisfied, and he couldn't hide his excitement. He asked Li Mu: "When exactly should we start doing it? How?"

Li Mu said: "We can start registering a company now. The company's technical aspects can be temporarily handed over to the development team of Makino Technology, but we still have to rent an office building and build an operation team first, so we will register the company at a scale of 10 million in the near future."

Senior Brother Liu asked: "Is 10 million registered capital or actual capital contribution?"

Li Mu said: "It is actual investment, and there is a time limit for registered capital, so it is enough to go for 5 million. We actually invest 10 million for the first phase of the company's operation."

After saying that, Li Mu asked Senior Brother Liu: "Senior Brother, will one million be too stressful?"

Liu Qingdong smiled and said, "No problem, it's still a lot of money to be recovered after the store is transferred."
