reprieve

"... In terms of operations, we provide team and resource support. Correspondingly, you need to put a part of your equity in the incentive pool. Our suggestion is 10% to 15%, and reserve 20% for later investment."

When Rui Lan opened the door, she was still turning her head to talk to Wei Xiansen, she tapped the switch next to the door and turned on the ceiling light.

Wei Xiansen leaned forward and approached the projection screen, as if he didn't notice the person coming in, "Then I still have my shares..."

Huai An beckoned to Sui Ran, motioning for her to sit casually, then typed on the keyboard, and the new value popped up on the screen.

Rui Lan: "There is a lot of flexibility. If you hold the investment share in the later stage on your behalf, you still have 69% of the shares in your hands. If you hold it on your behalf, it will be 49%."

"It takes more than half of the shareholding." Wei Xiansen rubbed the back of his neck and muttered.

"We hold it on behalf of you, and the valuation is increased by 50% based on the original quotation. You hold it on your behalf, and the original quotation is reduced by 50%." Huai'an said.

"Ah?" Wei Xiansen stood up in shock, "Why?"

"I don't want these things to disrupt your R&D progress." Huai'an called up another form, "You promise to go online for trial operation no later than November, and all our subsequent plans will revolve around this time point."

Wei Xiansen looked at Rui Lan helplessly, "This... is different from what you... agreed with you."

"It's the same." Rui Lan said in a soothing tone, "You have a fixed 15% share, no matter how many rounds of investment are added later, it will not be diluted, and this part of the voting rights has priority over others."

Sui Ran stayed in the corner as quiet as a chicken, she couldn't understand, and she couldn't figure out why Huai'an called her in at this juncture.

Roadshow from 10:30 to [-]:[-], followed by two-way Q&A for half an hour.

She arrived at Huanyu N-Work at 10:[-] according to the itinerary issued by Mr. Huai. She waited outside for [-] minutes. After receiving the message from Mr. Huai, she came to the meeting room, just in time for the equity distribution site.

The two parties put more weight and pressure, Wei Xiansen didn't think much about it, and agreed to give up 20% of the shares to Yu'an as a nominee - Sui Ran suspected that the final price increase to 75% moved him.

After confirming that the funds would be in place within a week, he quickly took out the official seal from his backpack, and waited for the printer to print out the contract before leaving time to pay attention to Sui Ran who had been here for a while.

"Isn't this Xiao Sui? You're here too. It's a coincidence."

Wei Xiansen's glasses reflected the light, and he pressed the seal hard on the ink pad, speaking in a tone as if nothing had happened.

"I had a good talk with the two bosses of Yu'an, and our place is going well."

The scene of meeting Wei Xiansen again was more...boring than expected.

After being deleted one-way by the other party, Sui Ran reminded himself that there was a lot of bad news hidden under this man's rigid surface——

Can't say bad water either.

If people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish;

If people are for themselves, tigers and wolves will clear the way.

So Sui Ran was not surprised whether the other party pretended not to know each other or showed disgust at being pursued.

She just couldn't understand, even if Wei Xiansen finished the road show and negotiated Yu'an's investment, why would he block her?

A person who has to rely on an intermediary agency for company registration and settlement, does he think he can hide himself out of thin air?

She can connect with Yu'an, so why can't she contact Wei Xiansen through Yu'an.

How embarrassing to meet again.

Perhaps the brain structure and rules of life of a "genius" are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like her.

——Wei Xiansen is indeed not an ordinary person.

"What a coincidence." With the tip of her tongue pressed against her teeth, Sui Ran copied a smirk that was not much different from the other party, "Good morning, Wei Xiansen."

Wei Xiansen was still the same, with messy hair and wrinkled T-shirt and jeans, but with his head held high, his demeanor was very different from the last time we met a few days ago.

Sui Ran asked Huai'an in a low voice: "Have you finished talking?"

Huai An nodded: "It's over."

Sui Ran took out the prepared customer confirmation letter and put it in front of Mr. Wei's desk, "Mr. Wei, please help me sign and seal the customer confirmation letter, the company needs it."

Mr. Wei took off his glasses and wiped them inside and out, without touching the document in front of him, "What book?"

Sui Ran explained: "I am going to give the customer confirmation letter to our company. There is no restriction or additional obligation on you. It is equivalent to acknowledging that you were introduced to Huai head office by me."

Wei Xiansen licked his upper lip, looked nervously at Huai'an, and at Rui Lan, "This, can you stamp it casually?"

He is very good at climbing up the ladder, and at this time, he uses investors as a shield.

Sui Ran silently took out another confirmation letter for the investor and handed it to Huai'an nearby.

"It's not casual." Huai'an turned to the last page and pushed the document in front of Rui Lan, "Manager Sui has put in a lot of effort in the process. Without her, we might miss this cooperation opportunity."

Rui Lan held the official seal in her hand, turned her elbows and typed the seal without looking at the content, and three pairs of eyes turned to Wei Xiansen.

Wei Xiansen read the two thin pages over and over for 5 minutes.

Rui Lan picked up and put down the seal several times, and said impatiently: "Mr. Wei, why don't you study the research contract today, and we can talk about it another day?"

"That's no need, no need." Mr. Wei hurriedly took out the seal, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Sui Ran worriedly before putting it down, "Xiao Sui, I won't pay, right? I won't answer the phone either."

In order to prevent such customers who are afraid of extra payment, the second page of the company's customer confirmation letter is marked in bold: Party B does not need to pay any fees incurred during the contact process in any form.

I don't know what he was looking at these few minutes.

"Don't worry." Sui Ran patiently pointed to the part blocked by his palm, "Look at the penultimate item."

Wei Xiansen read it out word by word, and then reluctantly stamped it.

........................

"Manager Sui... are you okay?"

He sent Wei Xiansen downstairs with Huai'an, and listened to her questions when he came back.

Sui Ran replied casually, "It's pretty good."

"Our initial investment in Wei Xiansen far exceeds that of ordinary angel rounds. If there is no manager Sui, Mr. Wei may not be able to get it."

Huai'an specified "very" to a precise number: "98% possible."

Sui Ran: "Oh..." There is no need to exaggerate her role so much.

Huai'an intentionally or unintentionally added: "Actually, without Manager Sui, I don't think Mr. Wei can get any investment. But Mr. Wei's attitude towards you is not very satisfactory. Does Manager Sui have any ideas about this?"

"..."

Sensing the double probing of Mr. Huai's words and eyesight, Manager Sui chose to temporarily disable his speech ability.

idea?

Yesterday, she found out that WeChat was deleted and the phone was rejected. She was very angry.

After receiving the message from Huai'an, I went to the nearest restaurant to have a full meal, and I didn't feel angry anymore.

Wei Xiansen is a man who is proud of his talents.

Pride, pride, arrogance.

In all fairness, she saved money and worked hard to create a system that might change the market. She just ran errands and spread the word, just wanted to get benefits from people, and even wanted to get involved in shares. It was too ugly.

The fact that the other party turned his face and refused to recognize anyone didn't mean that she was also shameless.

Sui Ran encountered a sea of ​​people who were even worse at being a man than Mr. Wei, and the experience bar was almost overflowing, but it was useless, and the ship capsized from time to time.

So being angry is more about being angry with yourself.

At least he should have thought of the customer confirmation letter earlier, so he wouldn't have to bother Mr. Huai again.

Sui Ran was full of the satisfaction of "stamped and explained to the company", and said "thank you" and "I'm sorry" to President Huai twice.

Before the two of them reached the door of the office, Rui Lan rushed out from a corridor in the direction of the meeting room, and when she saw them, she gave a high thumbs up: "Take 20% more shares in three sentences, and gain relative control with a slight advantage of 1% Power, President Huai's control is better than invisible!"

Huai'an remained calm, "Remember to report to Sister Enyue, the quotation is [-]% higher than her estimate."

"Sister Enyue left you [-]% flexibility." Rui Lan twisted her hips and turned around, humming out of tune, "Mr. Qing's side, overhead, ambush from all sides."

Sui Ran was confused and bewildered, but murmured in his heart.

For business needs, she is not unfamiliar with terms like "controlling rights". In the current context, it seems that Huai'an controls Wei Xiansen's company?

But Wei Xiansen didn't look very repulsive - didn't he feel disgusted by selling things to others and losing his dominance?

Sui Ran didn't understand the mystery, so she instinctively told her that these contents involved commercial secrets, and it was time for her to find a chance to say goodbye.

As soon as the words of thanks went through in her mind, Rui Lan touched a tennis ball from nowhere and threw it towards her.

"Ada, do you know where Wei Xiansen came from?"

No one has called her English name for a long time, Sui Ran paused for a second, telling herself to quickly forget the niche meaning of "Ada=Dad", her eyes slid across Huai'an, just in time to catch her fleeting look when she bowed her head. smile.

"He mentioned to me that he used to work at Keke Research Center." Sui Ran said, "Later, he came out to start his own business and had a very unpleasant experience in the incubator."

"Then do you know why it's not going well in the incubator?"

Sui Ran thought about it.

Wei Xiansen was very emotional that day, as if he mentioned being betrayed by a classmate who started a business together.

However, given that Wei Xiansen was really good at drawing boards across the river, she had reservations about it, so she shook her head: "I'm not sure."

Rui Lan was surprised and said, "I don't know what kind of foolish things this person did before, so you are so determined to help him work?"

Sui Ran pursed her lips, "Customer, if you need it, do your best." She said quite naturally, "It's just a coincidence."

She worked on Wei Xiansen's proposal and stayed up for a few nights at best. In addition, she was very interested in new technologies and learned about them by the way.

To be honest, after training in Huai'an five years ago, it was a piece of cake for Wei Xiansen.

"Wei Xiansen, three years ago, was a senior researcher of the digital management module of the research center, and he was only one step away from the chief. The net benefits created by his team in one year are-"

Rui Lan raised two fingers and shook them, but did not reveal the unit.

"He is a very professional person. With him, the progress is indeed faster than other teams. He can also increase the salary of researchers on a regular basis, but he can't stand the support of the people."

"Wei Xiansen is over the age of [-], and he is ready to start a family. At this time, Ke Ke's competitor contacted him privately, promising generous conditions, as long as he went with his brain.

"At a very important juncture, he proposed to Ke Ke for a promotion and salary increase. But Ke Ke's treatment did not meet his ideal standards. Originally, he was able to become a senior researcher at the age of 30, which is a lot of money for him. The hardware and data were burned out for him. There are hidden costs in the early stage, no matter how high it is, it can't be higher than the outside, and Wei Xiansen doesn't want to do what he can do."

Sui Ran couldn't help but said: "He said that his father's factory was overwhelmed by the production line of a big factory, so..."

"Oh baby." Rui Lan cast a pitiful look, "I know why you are willing to work for others."

Sui Ran shut up.

"There is this part of the factor." Huai'an, who was sorting out the contract, interjected, "He wanted to get a quota for the renovation of the production line for his father's factory, but he failed."

"That's it."

"Hey, please don't interrupt my storytelling." Rui Lan said forcefully back to the topic, "Anyway, Wei Xiansen resigned. With a brain blinded by greed, he left behind a non-compete agreement.

"The non-competition requires that he is not allowed to participate in similar programs for two years.

"The result can be imagined."

Sui Ranxin said: No, I don't know.

Rui Lan took a sip of water and continued: "I've resigned, but I sent an official letter to my competitors and took out the non-compete agreement. Wei Xiansen was stupid at the moment, he abandoned the family flowers, but couldn't pick wild flowers, and carried a pile of loans.

"However, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. Wei Xiansen's classmate just returned to China, and the two got in touch.

"The classmate knew that he was capable in the past, and also knew that he had a research result that was about to take shape, but he didn't know that this set of achievements was carrying disputes. Together, the classmate proposed to develop a lightweight system for small businesses.

"Wei Xiansen changed the shell of what he brought out from Keke, but the core remained the same.

"Then, the two of them ran out of money, and the classmate wanted to find investment through the incubator."

"In the process of looking for investment, people from the incubator contacted Ke Ke, but Ke Ke contacted this classmate who was kept in the dark and told him that this thing could not be sold, and he would have to sue if he sold it.

"The classmate realized that he was tricked by Wei Xiansen. When he came back to confront Wei Xiansen, the conversation between the two fell apart. The classmate was furious, and regardless of the expiration of the non-compete, he stripped off the part he made and sold it to another company. It has nothing to do with Wei Xiansen."

Sui Ran finally sorted out the ins and outs, and only a series of dots remained in his mind.

——It is completely different from what Wei Xiansen told that day, almost two stories.

Think carefully, are there two stories?

Wei Xiansen left his job and started his own business in an incubator with his classmates. It is true that the products were sold by his classmates.

But the real reason for leaving the job, why he parted ways with his classmates, in the final analysis, was his own luck and violation of industry rules.

It is true that he relies on his mother's pension to buy equipment and eat food.

However, he has no savings after working for many years because he used the research results of his original unit to find a new home.

She introduced such a short-sighted person who doesn't care about professional ethics to Huaian...

"Boss Huai..."

"Ok?"

Facing Huai'an's gaze, Sui Ran was like a light on his back, almost unable to stand, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

She reassured herself that Boss Huai and the others are professionals, and investment projects should have their own considerations.

Huaian bowed his head again and flipped through the contract: "He has passed the non-competition period, and the system has already taken shape, so there is no need to worry about the market."

"Yeah, pack it later and sell it to Ke Ke or the one with the Chinese prefix." Rui Lan answered, squinting and smiling, "I tend to sell it to Ke Ke."

"Then you can talk to Ke Ke." Huai An turned to a certain page of the contract and turned it over to Sui Ran, "Manager Sui, sign here."

Sui Ran glanced quickly and found that the content was similar to her company's customer confirmation letter, so she asked, "Is it for archiving?"

She wanted to turn to the previous page to read related content, Huaian handed over a pen, blocked it with her fingers, and said concisely: "File."

"What file?" Rui Lan leaned over to look at it, gasping undisguisedly, "This isn't..."

Huai'an stuffed her with a mobile phone, "Ask Sister Enyue if she has time tonight."

At the same time, Sui Ran was urged to sign.

Mr. Huai's oppressive force remained the same as before, Sui Ran didn't go into it any further, and signed his name in two scribbled strokes.

"Yo, shut it up." Rui Lan took the phone, hooked it over Sui Ran's shoulder, and whispered mysteriously, "Want to know what amazing thing you signed just now? At seven o'clock in the evening..."

Huai'an got up: "Manager Sui, I'll take you down."

Without Rui Lan's highly suggestive reminder, Sui Ran also had the feeling that she had signed some important document.

On the way to the elevator hall, I wanted to ask Mr. Huai several times, but was interrupted by the other party about the sub-tenant of Taipinghuijing.

After crossing the road to the downstairs of Taiping Huijing, Sui Ran looked back at the towering Huanyu Building, and sent another bunch of words of thanks to Huai'an.

After returning to work, she couldn't remember how many times she said thank you to Huai'an.

But what else can I do besides thank you?

President Huai seems to like sweets a lot?

Sui Ran waited for Manager Lu of Taipinghui to come downstairs while searching for desserts.

Think what comes.

Huaian: "Let's have dinner together tonight."

Huaian: "You treat [beer]"
