1382: Capitalists Don't Do Charity! (2 More)
Of course, Xu Jing and Ma Hai initially started doing this, not necessarily to make a lot of money.
Nowadays, many students still have passionate dreams. When they see something good, they want to turn it into something that Chinese people can use. There are many such people.
Bringing advanced technology and ideas back to China is the meaning of sending students to study abroad at the state's public expense.
It's just that Xu Jing and Ma Hai spent more and more in the process of making the English-Chinese version of the electronic dictionary, and they couldn't really make this thing out on their own.
Xu Jing and Ma Hai are also very straight men. In their vision, the display screen and keyboard of the electronic dictionary are still integrated, because the English and German versions of the American side are designed like this.
This can be improved.
"Is this an English-Chinese single item? Entering English words can look up Chinese meanings, but you can't enter Chinese words to look up English..."
Xu Jingguai was embarrassed, Xia Xiaolan didn't embarrass them, but just said the future direction.
Any product is a new generation from generation to generation, and the first generation product wants to be perfect, let alone the current technology can't reach it, manufacturers who do this are also looking for a dead end! Take the electronic and digital product manufacturers of later generations as an example, can't they produce higher-performance computers and mobile phones? If you have technology in your hand, you can’t release it all at once, otherwise, what will be the selling point of the new product next time!
Xia Xiaolan was initially satisfied.
It's just that the basement environment is terrible.
Ma Hai was in a hurry, "Student Xia, we really didn't lie to you, the technology is definitely mature now, as long as we have follow-up funds, you will see a mature prototype in at most two months!"
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "I didn't say you were liars. If I believed what Xiang Li said, I wouldn't come here with you. To be honest, do you think this is a place where you can talk about business?"
Ma Hai was immediately embarrassed.
The underground garage, the ventilation is not very good, and the two men are not very particular about living there, there is a strange smell.
It was rare for Xia Xiaolan to stay here for so long, and even Xiang Li was pinching her nose and disgusting when she came back.
"You're right, go up and talk, go up and talk!"
"Come on, I'll take you to the law firm."
Since you want to invest, it is better to standardize the procedure.
Both Xu Jing and Ma Hai said it was expensive to find a lawyer, but Xia Xiaolan didn't care: "I've spent a lot of money, so I'll save a little money?"
She called Wen Manni for consultation last night, and Wen Manni also suggested that she get a formal contract. If she was sure to invest, she could go to the law firm to find Wen Manni.
Now Xia Xiaolan will take these two to the law firm.
Nor is it a 40% stake of $20,000 as Ma Hai said, or simply $15,000, a 40% stake.
"$60,000, you want 60% of the stock?"
Is 20% more shares worth it?
No one invests in them at all!
Xu Jing and Ma Hai have also been attacked by others, and now they have no confidence in themselves. Whether this thing can be successful or not is still unknown, but Xia Xiaolan's generosity is outrageous.
For $20,000, Xia Xiaolan gave $60,000?
Is the dollar suddenly worthless, or is Xia Xiaolan too rich to use money as paper?
How much is 60,000 US dollars into Chinese currency? According to the official exchange rate, it is more than 200,000! In fact, ordinary people go to the bank with 210,000, or even 310,000 Chinese dollars, and they can't exchange for 60,000 US dollars... The official exchange rate is for ordinary people to watch, and the bank does not allow ordinary people to exchange Chinese dollars for US dollars. business.
If you want dollars, you can only go to the black market and slowly change them.
If you are lucky, you can exchange six or seven dollars for one dollar. If you are unlucky, it will cost eight or nine yuan, or even ten yuan, to exchange for one dollar.
On the other hand, Xia Xiaolan brought the 60,000 US dollars back to China and slowly exchanged it, and it could be exchanged for more than 420,000 Chinese dollars.
"You gave us so much money?"
Xia Xiaolan knocked on the table, "This is the agreement that I asked the lawyer to draft. You two better read it one by one, and whether you want to accept the $50,000 investment."
"First, we need to register a company in New York first. Second, avoid others' patents as much as possible and apply for our own. Third, when the finished product reaches the standard for sale on the market, you have the right to purchase the remaining shares first to 1% of the shares are worth $1,000…”
Ma Hai was dizzy looking at the complicated protocol.
Neither of them studied law, and they rarely deal with lawyers.
Xu Jing grasped the key point: "When the electronic dictionary is produced, do you want to kick us out?"
Xia Xiaolan shook her head, "You continue to look down, there is more content."
Xu Jing and Ma Hai have two choices.
Otherwise, according to the plan of 1% worth 1,000 US dollars, before the electronic dictionary can be put into production, completely sell the product to Xia Xiaolan, and she will pay another 40,000 US dollars at the current price.
That is to say, she spends $100,000 to buy out the finished product. As long as the two people reduce the cost of R&D and design within $100,000, they will earn the rest.
After a one-time sell-off, what Xia Xiaolan wants to do with the English-Chinese dictionary is none of their business.
The second option is to follow Xia Xiaolan back to China to set up a factory, and the three of them cooperate to put the electronic dictionary into production. At that time, the shares of the two of them will definitely be diluted, because Xia Xiaolan has the money to continue to make additional investments, but these two people did not. It's not that they have to, so how could it be possible for them to hold 40% of the shares?
At that time, it is necessary to renegotiate the shareholding ratio.
The unfairness is that Xia Xiaolan sold her shares
, but at the market price instead of the current 1% of $1,000.
Xu Jing and Ma Hai share 40%. If they want to sell it, they can only sell it to Xia Xiaolan at the current price. Unless she is suddenly kicked by a donkey and doesn't want to buy it, they can sell it to others.
And Xia Xiaolan has autonomy. She can sell to whomever she wants. Now she spends 60,000 US dollars. As long as she can find a buyer, it is her freedom to sell 600,000 US dollars!
"It's not fair! You're a capitalist!"
Facing Ma Hai's accusation, Xia Xiaolan smiled and nodded:
"Of course I'm a capitalist, business is business, friendship is friendship, if I wasn't a capitalist, could the $60,000 I gave you fall from the sky? Brother Ma, now it's the funds you two need, not me that doesn't belong to you. Technology is not. As long as I know the technical direction of the English-Chinese electronic dictionary, I can find someone else to develop it. To be honest, if I go back to China to find someone, those technicians in the electronics factory will be rewarded with brave men, and it will not cost $60,000 at all. , you can replicate your current progress and even make mature products!"
"you you……"
Ma Hai didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
He thought it was a rich schoolgirl with Jiao Di Di, but he didn't expect it to be a dumpling filled with sesame seeds, with a white face and a dark heart. This agreement made him and Lao Xu have no way out.
Seeing Xia Xiaolan laughing again, Ma Hai felt so terrifying. If he hadn't taken care of the big man's face, he really wanted to shout "Mom help, I want to go home"!
Xia Xiaolan did not feel guilty at all, "Although I am a capitalist, I am also very conscientious. Now I leave you behind to develop this product, you have nothing to do with me, right?"
Ouch, these two idiots, La Investment showed her all the information, thought she couldn't understand——
