Won a billion dollars after rebirth

After a few people sat down, Lin Qinglu got straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll explain my purpose directly." Lin Qinglu carefully rubbed a hand in an inconspicuous place. "I will invest 5 million this time, and the shareholding ratio needs to reach 10%."

Zhang Yiming did not expect that the other party would not follow him in circles at all, but he liked this kind of straightforward temperament. In fact, he himself did not like the swordsmanship between businessmen.

"5 million accounts for 10%. I'm afraid this is not very reasonable. After all, based on our company's current valuation, 5 million can account for 8% at most."

Zhang Yiming felt that the other party's price put him in a bit of a dilemma.

"If 5 million is alone, it is indeed not enough, but," Lin Qinglu paused, "I only want the company to pay dividends, and I will not object to any of the company's decisions and will not participate in the company's management.

I don't interfere in company affairs. Of course, I will contribute my strength if you need it.

If the company is profitable, all dividends received before 17 will be invested in the company's operations free of charge, and these funds will not account for shares. "

If Lin Qinglu had no idea about the future of Byte Jump, such a decision would most likely result in him getting nothing in the end and paying for it.

Although Byte is doing well in headlines now, it is difficult to get ahead when surrounded by major Internet giants.

If Lin Qinglu had not been reborn, he would probably not even know about the software Toutiao News at this time, let alone the company Bytedance.

But now Lin Qinglu knew that her efforts would be richly rewarded in the end, so she dared to tell Zhang Yiming the conditions she could offer.

"This..." Zhang Yiming was already a little excited after hearing this.

5 million is actually not a small amount for the company.

Last year’s financing was only US$100 million, but it accounted for 20% of the company’s shares. Although Toutiao has developed well this year, it has indeed not started to make profits. The valuation is higher than last year, and that is just a valuation. Besides, This year he is going to make new moves, and this is indeed the time when he needs to invest.

Lin Qinglu was already a little touched when he saw that the other party's expression was relaxed, and he kept up his efforts:

"Actually, I'm very optimistic about headlines, especially the algorithm you use in it. I'm very interested. Maybe you have thought about applying it to short videos?

I think this will be your huge advantage and you will definitely succeed. "Lin Qinglu said with great certainty, as if the other party would definitely succeed if he did this.

"Do you also think that applying it to short videos is a good way?" Zhang Yiming was surprised that the other person didn't look big, but he had a profound understanding and seemed to trust his algorithm.

He does have this plan, and he mentioned it to the company team last year, but now that all the major Internet giants have short video businesses, he has no guarantee that his own will be successful.

I discussed it with the creative team many times over the past year and was still hesitant, but I still decided to attack the short video field this year.

But this idea is still in the development stage, and I didn't expect that the other party would trust me extremely.

If there are such completely trusting investors to invest in your company, the capital you have to convince people to invest in the subsequent financing will increase.

"I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about my algorithm." Zhang Yiming expressed his gratitude for the other party's recognition.

"Of course, I also downloaded the headlines before investing in you. As time went by, I found that every time I read the news, I was interested in it. I was curious and did a little research." Lin Qinglu compiled a A fib, but not entirely wrong.

When I was browsing DouYang in my previous life, I discovered how the videos I saw every time were exactly what I liked. Every time I stayed in the work of a blogger for a long time. It will be frequently mentioned in the recommendations in the future.

Later, I was also curious and looked it up on the Internet. At that time, there was already a huge amount of information about Byte Jump, and Lin Qinglu naturally obtained a lot of information.

While admiring it, I also lamented that people are really different.

Ordinary people spend their time in social media but gain happiness, while some people can create things that consume other people's time and fill their own pockets.

You get both money and happiness, as well as the satisfaction of having your product recognized.

"This is understandable." Zhang Yiming was not surprised to hear that the other party had investigated his company. The investment was 5 million, not . Naturally, he had to investigate clearly.

"I agreed to your request, 5 million and 17%, but I don't think the non-dividend contract years ago is necessary. Since you trust our company and me so much, I naturally can't let you suffer."

Zhang Yiming lost his voice when he recalled that he had racked his brains to attract investment and met with more than 30 investors in a month.

Zhang Yiming is really an introverted founder. In the eyes of most investors, he does not have the qualities of an excellent entrepreneur, and not many people think highly of him.

Later, with the help of noble people, I was able to make Toutiao News what it is now.

Later, the financing was much smoother, but he still had to work hard to explain to investors how excellent his company's products were and how promising they were, so that he could get investors' capital injections.

Preparing to enter the field of short videos this year, Zhang Yiming had already started thinking about how to raise financing. As a result, he met Lin Qinglu, whom he approached to invest, and was optimistic about his entry into short videos.

Zhang Yiming feels that this kind of investor is what he expects most. He believes in his own ability, gives him trust, does not interfere in the company's business, and most importantly, returns the money, a lot.

Zhang Yiming believed that the other party should get the 10%.

For an investor who trusts her so much, how can she be allowed to pay for free?

After all, Zhang Yiming is not a pure businessman.

In fact, if it were not for his own ideals, Zhang Yiming would rather quietly tinker with his own creations. However, in order for his achievements to be seen by others and not be completely controlled by others other than himself, he had no choice but to go on stage himself.

"In that case, let's sign the contract."

Lin Qinglu did not refuse what Zhang Yiming said, and she was polite when she refused.

But if Lin Qinglu makes a profit in the company in the future, he will still invest it in it.

After all, Douyang is still just an embryo, and he needs money to nourish him, right?

Investing these profits will also ensure that her shares will not be diluted too much in the subsequent rounds of financing, and it is best to maintain them.

Zhang Yiming also notified his lawyer.

In accordance with the requirements, the lawyers of both parties drafted several agreements and contracts, including the capital investment agreement and the dividend agreement, and divided their respective powers.

Zhang Yiming and Lin Qinglu signed the agreement under the witness of the lawyer and Qiu Lan, and registered Lin Qinglu's information in the company's shareholder list.

Moreover, Lin Qinglu injected funds into the company account on the spot. Zhang Yiming and Jiang Nan were impressed by this courage.

The moment both parties signed their names, Lin Qinglu's tense nerves finally let go, and it was finally settled.

You can now sit back and relax!

He showed a comfortable smile and extended his hand to Zhang Yiming.

"Wish us happy cooperation."

Zhang Yiming held Lin Qinglu's hand, shook it, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
