In the hot summer, beer and crayfish are really a perfect match. After get off work, it is most pleasant to invite friends to have a good meal and chat while eating and drinking. This has directly led to the fact that crayfish is still a common food to this day. cause controversy
The food in the country has gone from being unpopular to being expensive. Dishes that could not be served on the table before are now so common that ordinary working-class people can't afford them.
Gao Yiming wandered around the warehouse for a long time, and found that the back of the warehouse directly connected to the Yangtze River, and the gentle river breeze was blowing, which was actually more comfortable than the air-conditioned room.
So the two simply moved the table to the backyard and ate like a feast. Cheng Yu had prepared a lot of lines, thinking of persuading Gao Yiming to adapt to his current role, seeing that he was also the founder and decision-maker of a listed company.
Although he is also a technical person, after all, he is the same as ordinary people.
Xiao Nie's team, which has been at the forefront of technology for many years, cannot be compared. It must know how to properly delegate power.
Unexpectedly, after Gao Yiming drank a bottle of beer, he took the initiative to ask about it. He said, "Xiao Nie asked you to call me away, right?"
Cheng Yu stuffed the peeled lobster into his mouth, and as he was chewing, he just nodded without making a sound. Gao Yiming picked up another bottle of beer, opened the cap, and took a big gulp.
Said: "After I answered your call, I seemed to understand that I am actually somewhat out of touch with the front-line position now. Although my ideas cannot be said to be contrary to Xiao Nie's others, they are basically fine except for the general direction.
, other details are full of loopholes. I wanted to help them improve the system, but the plan I proposed was like a sieve, full of holes, and could not withstand scrutiny. Instead, I planned to say hello to them and ask them to put the basics first.
The system was formulated and when it was handed over to me for review tomorrow, I found that their discussions and implementation went much more smoothly without me being present.
Some. Lao Cheng, is this why you called me over in such a hurry? You knew what was wrong with me without even looking? "
Cheng Yu smiled and thought that Gao Yiming was close to completing the role change, which saved him a lot of trouble. After wiping his hands, Cheng Yu also picked up the beer, touched it with Gao Yiming, and said: "Look
You don’t need me to explain it to you. Don’t you understand this quite well? Who are you now? The founder and CEO of a company that is about to go public.
The decision-maker is still the largest shareholder. What you need to think about now is how to make full use of the large amounts of funds you have obtained after going public so that your company can become stronger and stronger in the market. You are not only responsible for yourself,
You must also be responsible to your shareholders and your investors. Once you go public, your shareholders will not be limited to the few companies or individuals who have invested money in you. Your shareholders will be numerous.
There are tens of thousands of people, and their nerves are much more fragile than those of investors. The slightest disturbance will be fully reflected in the stock price. Therefore, what you want to become in the future is the Party A of all employees of your company. You are responsible for making demands.
Responsible for setting the general direction and strategic matters, rather than arguing with front-line staff every dollar.
Discuss certain details or terms. Moreover, you have to understand that from now on, you alone cannot veto or agree with the various systems at the company level. Any changes in the system need to go through the shareholders' meeting or
Board of Directors
Implement after discussion.
Leave professional matters to professionals. If there is anything you must do personally now, that is, you must promptly formulate a stock option distribution plan for the company's technical personnel and management. I know that you have definitely mastered these things since you started your business.
It has always been there, but obviously, when facing the threshold of going public, those previous figures will have to be adjusted to a large extent. This requires you to communicate with your investment before the company goes public.
People and shareholders discuss and formulate the final plan. I really don’t understand how at this time, you still have time to take care of the things that Xiao Nie should be responsible for. You’d better think about it carefully and think about it after your company goes public and you have money in your hands.
How to spend money reasonably?
How can you expand the scale of your company without expanding too fast and losing its tail?" Gao Yiming took a sip of beer, smiled coquettishly, and said, "I am also inexperienced. It is my first time to go public.
I always wish I could be involved in everything. It’s not that I’m reluctant to delegate power, but I’m always worried
They can't do well without me."
"Actually? It's because of you that they are in dire straits. It's time to contact a headhunting company to find some more suitable managers for your company." Gao Yiming was stunned, picked up a lobster but finally let it go.
Go back: "After the company is listed, shouldn't the employees below be rewarded based on their merits? Should they be given shares, should they be promoted? Why should we hire managers from outside?
"
"When a company goes public, it will inevitably experience rapid expansion in scale in the short term. This is a problem that any entrepreneurial company will face. Otherwise, do you think that after you go public and raise funds, the money will just sit in the bank and earn interest?
Looking for new managers after going public does not mean that the old heroes of your company will lose their promotion opportunities. They should be promoted, but as the scale of the company expands, the management positions will also expand. Do you think that your company will be promoted?
What is a company? Is it a cradle for manager incubation? At that time, any ordinary employee can be pulled up to join the management? Those who are really capable of transferring to management can be promoted, but the vast majority can only stay in their original positions.
In terms of position, at most the level is higher, the salary has been adjusted, and the work must be the same as before.
Work.
Just like Xiao Nie, after going public, he will definitely be promoted, but this does not mean that he can be a good director. Of course, he must be promoted to a higher-level position. Technically, he must be the largest person in your company in the future.
Play cards.
But in terms of management, you must equip him with a right-hand man to assist him in managing the technical department that is destined to expand a lot in the future. Xiao Nie is not suitable to be a manager, just like if you want to be a good decision-maker, you must also
Find a deputy who can temporarily help you take charge of the overall situation, and then study hard with him until you master everything yourself.
OK.
Or, you can be like me and just be a hands-off shopkeeper, only responsible for signing the most valuable orders to the company. But obviously, the nature of your company is different from mine, and you can't really let go."
Gao Yiming nodded in understanding, peeled off a shrimp dully, and put it to his lips, but then asked: "What will happen if I don't prepare these?" Cheng Yu smiled and motioned for him to put the shrimp away.
After eating, he peeled the shrimp slowly and said: "If you don't make plans now, after the company is listed, your shareholders, especially the corporate investors, will be there for you every step of the way."
When the time comes, arrange manpower appropriately, or even send people directly from their company, take over your company bit by bit, and completely eliminate you. A better ending.
The company is always moving up. They will force you to sell your shares at a certain point, and eventually gain control and decision-making power of your company. It cannot be said that they kick you out, but you will not have the final say in the development of the company in the future.
"
Gao Yiming's eyes widened. Although he had a good entrepreneurial experience, he knew almost nothing about finance and capital.
"What about the bad ending?" "The bad ending is that they will intentionally damage your company, causing its value to steadily decrease. When you can't bear it anymore, they will conduct a comprehensive acquisition or merger and reorganization. Believe me, no matter which move they take, they will
They can eat you up to nothing, and then you can only take one or two hundred million in cash to go home for retirement. There are too many examples of this. How many entrepreneurial Internet companies have there been in China in the past twenty years? But now
They were either from the Fox family or
Penguin, didn’t someone on the Internet joke that there are actually only two Internet companies in China?”
Gao Yiming was stunned and lowered his head, as if deep in thought. Afterwards, Cheng Yu introduced many routine operations of the capital market to Gao Yiming. Gao Yiming's eyes were confused as he listened, and his back became wet unknowingly. He didn't know.
It's because the weather is too hot and the lobster is too spicy.
It was he who was startled by Cheng Yu's words and broke into cold sweats.
"So, someone told me that going public is the starting point of my company's destiny. I thought it was Versailles' pretentious words, but the co-author was actually giving me a reminder?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "This man is kind-hearted. If he is from one of your investors' companies, you can poach him to protect your company."
"Ah? Poaching people from investors? Is this appropriate? Moreover, how can I trust that person? What if he is playing hard to get and actually wants to speed up the control of me through the company he joins?" Cheng Yufan
He rolled his eyes and said: "Unless that person is a shareholder of the company you invest in, and he must be a major shareholder with certain leading capabilities. What are you thinking? If it is this kind of status, he would like you to make as many mistakes as possible
, I will never give you any reminder. If my guess is correct, that person is probably a part-time worker. Maybe the position is not bad, and he should have the ability to stand alone, but he is not given a position that matches his ability, and
He should have no direct relationship with your investment project." Gao Yiming's eyes turned blue, and he nodded and said: "Well, it's the company that invested in the angel round for me, and then led the round A round. Apart from me, they are
The largest shareholder. The person who said this to me is an investment manager from the fourth investment department. His contact with my company has always been the investment department two. This person and the director of the second investment department, who are their shareholder representatives,
We are brothers. I once made an appointment to play with the director of the second department, and he happened to be there, so we got to know each other. Because we both like to play snooker, we would occasionally make appointments for a game or something. Just last month, I
When he started working on the plan for listing and bidding, he made an appointment with me for a game, and then followed up piecemeal with me.
I said that listing is the end for most entrepreneurs, but as far as capital is concerned, listing is just the beginning, etc..." Cheng Yu nodded and said: "That's right.
, you can make an appointment with him to have a good talk next time, you might as well try to invite him directly to your company. Give him the position of vice president first. If he is really capable, you can consider him as a candidate for CEO in the future. If he has the ability,
In short, he can at least help you avoid a lot of pitfalls in the early stage of expansion after listing. Of course, for this kind of person, salary is not very attractive, and options are the key. Your cooperation with him
At the same time, you might as well make some bets. I study macroeconomics and can only help you with this. If you want more detailed advice, I will go back and recommend a personal choice to you."
When Gao Yiming heard this, he immediately stood up, grabbed the wine bottle, and shouted, "Young Master Cheng, I'm so kind to you. I can't forget it! I drank this bottle of wine."
Cheng Yu shook his head and was too lazy to answer him, saying that he wanted to let go. Gao Yiming didn't care about the bottle of wine in his hand. In fact, he had already been holding it in for a long time, so he followed with a playful smile.
Cheng Yu's face was full of disgust: "My bathroom only has a small space, is it disgusting? You sit down first, and you can go back when I come back."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll wait for you outside the door."
Regarding Gao Yiming's shamelessness, Cheng Yu could only let him go. Gao Yiming followed Cheng Yu and asked, "Who are you going to introduce to me?"
Cheng Yu didn't answer. When he passed by the desk, Cheng Yu noticed that the screen of the tablet had been turned off, and he didn't know if the unlocking was completed. When Cheng Yu finished draining the water and opened the door and came out, something shocking happened.
