Chapter 0150 Change the world
Li Rui had carefully considered this condition.
The A-round financing should not be too small. If it is too small, it will not last long and you will have to raise B-round financing. At that time, it is likely to attract competition from other venture capital.
Therefore, Li Rui needs to prolong the gap between round A and round B and accumulate more financial resources to compete with other venture capital companies.
The amount of financing should not be too large. The food delivery industry relies on the mobile Internet and must be supported by hardware, network and social environment.
At this point in time at the end of 2010, the penetration rate of smartphones was not high enough. In terms of network, let alone 4G, even 3G was not fully rolled out. Many families did not have the concept or need to install routers, and they did not even know the correct way of wifi.
Reading method.
By the end of 2011, 3G networks will become stable and fast, 4G networks will begin to be laid, smartphones will gradually become the mainstream choice for young people, and various mobile applications will spring up like mushrooms after a rain. This will be the time for Hungry Bai to really make its mark.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and all three elements of success are indispensable. Since the time has not yet come, Li Rui does not want to act too hastily.
The A-round financing of Hungry Bai in the previous life occurred in March 2011, with the same amount of 6 million yuan in exchange for 25% of the shares.
Li Rui thinks this number is reasonable, not too much and not too little, just enough to last for a year.
Zhang Weihao and the other four were stunned when they heard Li Rui's conditions.
Their expressions told Li Rui that it was too much.
6 million accounting for 25% of the shares. This financing amount means that the valuation of Xiaoxingleibei reaches 24 million. For Li Rui, it is just a small investment, but for four students who are still in school and have not graduated, it is already an unimaginable investment.
The astronomical figures are there, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Before coming, Zhang Weihao and the four of them had already discussed it and even prepared themselves mentally for being underpriced. In their imagination, they would be very satisfied if Hungry Bei could be valued at 10 million, and they even prepared to only keep
Preparation for selling 51% of the shares.
They never expected that Li Rui would offer such a price that they could not refuse.
Even Zhang Weihao felt a little bitter in his heart. If he had known that Li Rui was so sincere, why would he have persisted before?
More importantly, Li Rui took out elbpos, which was what they cared about the most.
In the past few days, Wang Yuan racked his brains, forgot to eat and sleep, almost risking his life, and only completed half of the functions described by Zhang Weihao. If he was given a few more months, he might be able to complete the remaining half, but by then he would be hungry.
Does it still exist?
What they care most about is not the financing amount and share allocation but elbpos. Having deeply cultivated this market, they know very well what store owners need. In this era when controlling the resources of store owners controls the takeout market, elbpos is a big killer, absolutely.
Able to capture all the store owners.
What is the core competitiveness of Hungry Bei?
It is nothing more than forming a relationship of mutual trust with the store owners. This trust is based on their ability to bring better services and business. If they cannot, of course the store owners will switch to other camps.
The function of elbpos is so powerful that they have no power to resist!
The four people had analyzed the various pros and cons very clearly before coming to see Li Rui. They knew that they were now standing on the cliff and had no choice.
But the conditions given by Li Rui made them greatly relieved, and they even felt like a blessing in disguise.
The four of them exchanged glances with each other, and Zhang Weihao nodded on behalf of the other three: We accept your conditions, but we also have several conditions.
Li Rui guessed what they were going to discuss.
What do founders fear most?
One is afraid of not having money, and the other is afraid of not having power.
Money and power are like fish and bear's paws, you cannot have both.
Since Hungry Bei needs the money and technology required for development, they have to pay corresponding equity, and the loss of shares means that their right to speak has been challenged.
The four of them are comrades who start a business together. They trust each other and can discuss anything, but that may not be the case after Li Rui joins.
So Li Rui smiled and said: Don't worry, I won't get involved in the company's management and operations. I will only put forward some strategic opinions. If you think it makes sense, do it. If you think it doesn't make sense, don't do it. I won't.
Force you to make any decision.
Several people's faces turned red when Li Rui told them what they were thinking, and then they felt very shocked.
Li Rui gives money and technology but does not want a say. He is simply a living Lei Feng!
Zhang Weihao couldn't help but ask: Then what are you planning?
What are you trying to figure out? Li Rui chuckled. In your minds, what will Hungry Bei eventually develop into?
The four of them were stunned. They wanted to drive Hungry Bei to every city in Hua Kingdom, and wanted Hungry Bei to be a delivery person running on every street. But how could they have the nerve to say this kind of half-hearted thing to Li Rui?
Woolen cloth?
Unexpectedly, Li Rui said calmly: One day, Hungry Bei will open in every city in the country, and Hungry Bei’s delivery people will run on every street. We will change people’s lifestyles, although the results cannot be known.
For better or for worse, we changed the world after all, didn't we?
They were stunned.
The resistance I originally harbored towards Li Rui disappeared.
Isn’t the dream of men in science and engineering to change the world? If they didn’t have this dream, why would they start a business? It would be great to work in a big company. The income may not be less, and it won’t be so hard.
Li Rui said what was in their hearts. It is so rare to have investors with such consistent views!
Li Rui stretched out his palm: If you are willing to change the world with me, why not start today?
Zhang Weihao was the first to stretch out his hand, followed by Kang Jiayuan, Wang Yuan and Deng Ye. Their five palms were folded together, raised high, and then dropped heavily.
Change the world! They shouted in a low voice, as if they had the whole world in their palms.
After confirming the cooperation, Li Rui called Zhang Yuefeng and asked him to find a time to connect with Wang Yuan and officially hand over elbpos to Hungry Bei.
After making the call, Li Rui said: Have you ever thought about how to use this software?
Kang Jiayuandao: We have always used the commission method. Before, we charged 8% commission. Now that we have received investment and have sufficient capital flow, we can start a price war. If we reduce the commission ratio to 5%, we will surely kill other competitors.
.
Several other people also nodded, thinking this was a good idea.
Li Rui smiled: In fact, your current enemy is not the food delivery competitors, but the merchants!
