Zhou Hao said: "I will definitely strive for the cash-out ratio. You and Lao Guo are both held by me. If you want to cash out at that time, I will directly repurchase it at the valuation price."

With that said, Zhou Hao added, "But I advise you not to cash out so early. Although Baidu left and released 10% of the shares, I plan to dilute 10% out of the round B round, so you are still a The shares you own can only be cashed out in the millions now. I suggest you wait a little longer. I dare not tell you to wait until Haobo Technology goes public, but at least wait until after the C round to cash out. By then the valuation will definitely be over one billion. Worth cashing out too.”

Lu Yatong nodded and said with a slight embarrassment: "I know, it's just that something happened to me, so..."

Zhou Hao said: "If you tell me anything, I will try my best to help you, but the shares must be carefully considered. The company has risen so fast and the loss of cashing out in advance will be too great."

"I understand, it's just..." Lu Yatong pursed her lips, not knowing how to speak.

She didn't want to tell Zhou Hao that her parents kept urging her to get money for her brother's marriage.

Lu Yatong's family background is average. Her father worked as a worker in a county cotton spinning factory in his early years. He got sick leave last year and received a pension of about 400 yuan a month. Her mother has a rural registered permanent residence and has never worked.

Lu Yatong is a brother and sister. Their parents are very patriarchal. Lu Yatong has not been favored since she was a child. Although her brother is seven or eight years older than her, in her memory, her parents still give the best to her brother first, even when he goes to school.

When his brother was young, he was too playful and did not like studying. He did not want to go to junior high school. However, his parents tried hard to persuade him to go to a vocational high school or technical school. Lu Yatong's grades had been good since he was a child, but his parents did not want to go to school by himself.

Originally, the family did not want Lu Yatong to go to college, and wanted to save money for her brother to find a wife. Later, Lu Yatong's class teacher personally came to the family to lobby, and even mobilized her high school alma mater to collect a bonus of 5,000 yuan for Lu Yatong, so that she reluctantly went to college.

After going to school, Lu Yatong has been working hard, relying on part-time work and scholarships to support herself in college. However, after her brother became disabled, her family was very nervous. Her parents asked her to drop out of school and go work to share the pressure on the family. Lu Yatong begged her parents before they allowed her to study. After all, she almost had her parents cut off their relationship with her.

After finally persisting until I graduated from college, my parents began to make arrangements to find a partner for my brother. My brother had no job, and was disabled due to a work injury. He didn’t want to do anything. He lived with his parents in a two-bedroom apartment of 40 to 50 square meters, and had no one to live with. There is no money, no house, and it is even more difficult to find a partner.

She didn't want her son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, so he asked someone to go to the countryside to find a partner for his son. However, when they heard that his brother was disabled and unemployed, no girl was willing to marry him.

After this time, Lu Yatong's brother got older and desperately wanted to find a girl to start a family, so he asked his parents to buy him a house and collect gifts for him to find a wife.

So, her parents put this burden on Lu Yatong and asked her to send money home every month. They said they wanted a gift of 100,000 yuan and asked her to buy another house in the county, otherwise she would not get married.

A house in the county costs at least RMB 70,000 to RMB 80,000. With decoration and a gift of RMB 100,000, it will cost at least RMB 200,000. The Lu Yatong family simply cannot afford this huge sum of money.

Her father asked Lu Yatong to find a way to get 18 yuan for her family. Lu Yatong became anxious immediately. She needed a total of 20 yuan to get married. She asked herself if she wanted yuan, how could she have so much money?

All the money I earned from working was sent home, except for living expenses. I also sent nearly 100,000 yuan back and forth. But when my brother got married, the family only had to bear 20,000 yuan. Isn’t this really unreasonable?

The answer given by the father was also simple and rude: "Your brother is in a bad mood. He drinks and smokes all day long, and you can't save the money you give to the family. Otherwise, what will your mother, me, and your brother eat?"

Lu Yatong, who had never been valued by her family, gave most of her income to her family. Her parents didn't care about her life or death.

Lu Yatong tried to explain to her family, but her father said angrily: In a month or two, your brother will be a prostitute! Your mother said that if your brother becomes an adult, she will drink pills and commit suicide, and it’s up to you!

Lu Yatong cried and said that she really didn't have that much money, and even if she forced herself to die, she wouldn't be able to get it out.

She didn't say that she had an option worth millions. On the one hand, it was not time to cash out the option, and on the other hand, she knew in her heart that once she said it, her parents would show up at the company tomorrow, forcing her to do anything. Convert the options into money, and then happily go home to organize the wedding for your brother.

Lu Yatong was heartbroken and said, "Don't say anything. I will find a way to get you money. Don't ask me for these things in the future. When you get older, I will provide for you in your old age. I won't care about anything else." , don’t look for me either.”

Lu Yatong's father said: "Okay, you take out 200,000, and your mother and I will leave you alone."

Lu Yatong said angrily: "I will give you 250,000 yuan, which will even be enough for my brother to have a baby!"

In the past few days, Lu Yatong has been thinking about how to get 25 to give to her family. Later, she thought that the company was developing so well now that if she raised the B round, she would cash out the options.

Although she knew that there was more room for appreciation, she wanted to use 200,000 to solve her troubles.

Zhou Hao didn't know these things. He just felt that people with a long-term vision like Lu Yatong should be able to see the development space of Haobo Technology.

Apart from anything else, if Happy Farm can raise pp, Zhou Hao will be sure to make the company's valuation reach several billion, and then take the opportunity to launch a few auxiliary products, and it will basically be invincible in the country. How long will it take to achieve this step? Maybe it was just the year 2002.

So if you sell your shares at this time, you will definitely regret it to the point of crying. Can Lu Yatong see that?

Zhou Hao asked her: "Are you encountering any difficulties? Are you in a hurry for money?"

Lin Qingya said awkwardly: "Something happened at home, and I am anxious for money."

Zhou Hao nodded and said without hesitation: "You tell me the number, and I'll lend it to you first."

Lu Yatong hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need...Mr. Zhou, when the company raises Series B, I will cash out the options and all problems will be solved."

Zhou Hao said: "If you really want to cash out, I can get three million in cash right now to take back your one-point option, but you have to understand that whether it's three million or five million, you will suffer in the end." It’s you, not me.”

"I know..." Lu Yatong lowered her eyelids, "Actually, you trust me so much and promised me a one-point option before I came to the company. I am already very satisfied. Not to mention three million, even one million would be mine. Good luck, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to make this much money if I worked for another ten years.”

Zhou Hao frowned and said, "You are usually so confident, why have you become so petty today?"

Lu Yatong hesitated and hemmed and hawed, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhou Hao simply pulled over the car, activated his double flash, looked sideways at Lu Yatong, and said in a serious tone: "I can't watch you being stupid, your options are held by me on behalf of you, so I have to tell you Make it clear, I won’t allow you to cash out the options before the C round. Don’t even think about it. If you are short of money, you can find a way, but a smart person will never kill the goose to get the eggs!”

Lu Yatong didn't expect to be scolded by a boy who was five or six years younger than her. She was so scolded that she blushed and couldn't refute. She couldn't control it. Her eyes were hot and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Zhou Hao immediately realized that what he said was a bit harsh, so he changed his tone and continued: "If you encounter a problem and need money to solve it, tell me and I will help you solve it privately; if I can't solve it, no problem, b We will have money after the B round, and we can lend you money from the company's account at that time, but your practice of cashing out the options in the B round without telling you when something is wrong is so disappointing to me. Is it still the Lu Yatong I know?"

"Is this still the beautiful VP of the company? I still expect to use your vision and ability to hold up half of the company's sky. You make me doubt my vision like this?"

Although his tone was gentler, Zhou Hao's words were still harsh to Lu Yatong's fragile psychology, so much so that Lu Yatong couldn't hold back and cried instantly. Zhou Hao was so confused that he quickly took out a tissue from the glove box and handed it over, apologizing at the same time. , while asking her what happened?

When Lu Yatong cried, her full emotions were released. She urgently needed someone to listen and help her digest it, so she roughly told all the sad past events about herself and her family over the years.

Zhou Hao was not shocked after hearing this. He had seen a lot of the older generation's preference for boys over girls.

Although Zhou Hao also thought that Lu Yatong's parents were too much, he couldn't say such things. He just patted her shoulder gently and comforted her to stop crying. He said: "Two hundred and fifty thousand, right? I'll ask someone tomorrow I’ll pay it to your account, and you’ll pay me back after you cash out the options after the company raises Series C or even Series D or Series E.”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Hao added: "If the cash-out value of the option is less than 30 million, don't even think about it."

Lu Yatong said hurriedly: "Mr. Zhou, I..."

Zhou Hao immediately interrupted her, "Don't give 250,000 yuan to your family all at once. It will spoil them. Give 200,000 yuan to your brother to get married first, and tell your family about the remaining 50,000 yuan. When will your brother get married?" If the child is born, you will naturally give him the money. If the child is not born, no one will ask for it. If you ask, the money will not be given. You must be strong so that they dare not disobey. "

Lu Yatong looked at Zhou Hao with red eyes. She originally wanted to refuse, but she couldn't refuse. Although Zhou Hao was domineering, she was extremely moved and even felt a strong sense of security in him. At this moment, she felt that the man in front of her was Boys are like Prince Charming who saves people from fire and water.

Lu Yatong felt that the best man in the world might be nothing more than this.
