It's said to be the headquarters, but it's actually a very small office with an area of about more than 100 square meters. There are only a few engineers inside who are typing codes in front of the computer.
"Kevin, do we really not want to raise funds? The prices offered there are quite high. If we raise funds, we can get a lot of money and the company can also expand its recruitment."
"Without financing, I have discussed it with the respected Mr. Su. With the current size of our company, there is no need for financing. If we raise money, it will only dilute our shares."
"But even if the shares are diluted, the shares we hold are more valuable than before."
Hearing his companion's words, Kevin shook his head, things were not that simple.
When Mr. Su signed the investment agreement, he was not only very direct and generous, but he invested one million US dollars in the project without even seeing the finished product and took 40% of it just after reading the project plan.
of shares.
Mr. Su was so generous and had such trust in himself, so naturally he couldn't be too fussy about it, so he agreed to one of the items in the investment agreement without hesitation.
This agreement is very simple, that is, if the company raises funds again within the next year, Mr. Su's shares cannot be diluted. Only when the company raises funds one year later can Mr. Su's shares be diluted.
Therefore, if he raises funds at this time, he and the founding team will actually lose their shares.
So from a personal perspective, he naturally hopes to raise funds as late as possible.
From the company's perspective, the company's current main expense is server maintenance and updates. Mr. Su still has more than half of the one million US dollars he gave, so there is no need to rush to raise funds.
Given the company's current development speed, the market value would be higher if the financing was raised one day later. Kevin naturally hopes that the financing can be delayed a little later.
"The main business of our company is one business, which is the photo sharing business. Mr. Su and I agree on this point. We will never do unnecessary functional development. Unlike burbn, we do not do check-ins, games, or social media.
These functions.”
"What we need to do now is to develop the filter function, how to make the pictures sent by users look better, increase the depth and classification of the filter function, and increase the enthusiasm of users to share photos."
In fact, before launching the product, Kevin had a three-hour conversation with Su Wang. At that time, Kevin wanted to develop more features, but Su Wang vetoed it.
Because in Su Wang's eyes, the reason why ins is successful is because of its simple focus, it is just a picture sharing software, and the reason why users like it is because of its filter function.
Just imagine, in this era when mobile phones don’t have high pixels, and many people don’t have many photography skills, there is a software that can process their pictures to look beautiful. This is attractive enough.
In fact, Su Wang's early development of ins was based on Meituan Xiuxiu. The reason why Meituan Xiuxiu was able to gain such a large number of users in a short period of time was simply because of the filter processing of photos.
Any user who shares photos online is sharing photos that they think look good. The reason why they use Meituan Xiuxiu is because Meituan Xiuxiu has filter and beauty functions.
As long as ins can achieve these two points, it will be enough to ensure early success, and there is no need to be distracted from developing any other functions.
…
Just after Su Wang and Wang Kaige had a good conversation and just left the headquarters of Carlyle Investment Bank, the phone rang.
"Mr. Su, something happened with Meituan!"
The call was from Gao Tingting. After learning about the accident that happened to Meituan from Gao Tingting, Su Wang frowned. He did not expect that what Meituan had experienced in his previous life would still happen in this life.
"I know, I'll rush there right now."
After hanging up the phone, Su Wang hailed a taxi and headed towards Meituan.
…
Yanshi Law Firm!
"Lawyer Jiang, I don't think we need to take this case because it is completely unflattering."
"Yes, many issues in this case are unclear. It is difficult for us to win this kind of lawsuit. Even if we win, it will probably be a lot of trouble and not much compensation."
Jiang Yan was a little hesitant. To be honest, she didn't want to take the case, but people came to her door and she couldn't turn them away.
"Sister Jiang Yan, I think this case can be taken on."
Tang Jin, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, and her words suddenly attracted the attention of everyone present. Several colleagues looked at her with strange eyes.
Even Jiang Yan looked surprised. She had thought that Tang Jin might express her opinion, but Tang Jin probably didn't want the company to accept this commission.
Some time ago, Meituan President Su Wang's high-profile appearance also made his girlfriend appear in front of everyone. Only then did Jiang Yan know that Tang Jin's seemingly ordinary boyfriend was actually a
A very successful entrepreneur.
This time the commission is related to Meituan. Tang Jin can be said to be the future boss of Meituan. Logically speaking, the firm should not be allowed to litigate with Meituan.
Unless...unless there is a problem with the relationship between Tang Jin and Su Wang.
"What I mean is very simple. Let us take over the investigation. If this matter is really Meituan's problem, then we will follow the formal procedures. If there is a conspiracy, we can expose it and clear Meituan's name.
"
Tang Jin's words made Jiang Yan realize that there was nothing wrong with the relationship between her junior sister and her boyfriend, and she wanted to use this method to help her boyfriend prove his innocence.
"I understand, then let's take on this commission. Liu Jie and Tang Jin will handle the specific business. Well, this time Tang Jin will be the main one, and Liu Jie will help you."
Jiang Yan's arrangement surprised everyone except Tang Jin, because they didn't know the relationship between Su Wang and Tang Jin, and they didn't understand why Jiang Yan made such a work arrangement.
You know, Liu Jie has a lawyer's license, but Tang Jin doesn't even have a lawyer's license and can only be regarded as a paralegal. Normally, wouldn't Liu Jie be the main one and Tang Jin be the one to help?
"Okay, then I'll help Junior Sister Tang."
Liu Jie smiled and spoke, with no trace of dissatisfaction on his face. Firstly, it was because he had just obtained his lawyer's license, and secondly, because he knew Jiang Yan, and there must be a reason why Jiang Yan would make such an arrangement.
"Well, I will investigate clearly."
What surprised other colleagues even more was that Tang Jin accepted the request without delaying. This shows that Tang Jin himself believed that she should be the one in charge. This was not in line with the modest temperament of this young junior sister in the past.
