My Age of Investment

Phyllis and Ryan were a little surprised and repeated: "All Ivy League schools and 80% of California universities?"

The dog took over, "Yes, if you can't even do this step, there is no point in setting up a company."

Ryan couldn't stop nodding, and looked at Phyllis, feeling that this trip was really right.

No matter what else, at least the aggressiveness and purpose shown by Facebook's current team is unmatched by some of the small entrepreneurial teams they have joined before.

It's not good to be ambitious, take a step by step, and fight steadily.

It looks like it has a lot of potential.

"Can we not need wages, just shares?"

After all, he is a Stanford student, and he is not stupid.

Compared to the meager salary, Ryan wanted to give it a try and get more stocks.

If the startup is successful, it's not thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in return.

Xia Jingxing had a headache.

When I talk to you about money, you have to talk to me about ideals.

Fine!

complete you.

"Little Dog and Christina, as co-founders, joined the website before the website was launched, and they only had 5% of the shares."

The two were about to speak when Xia Jingxing preemptively said, "Don't feel that this share is too small, I also promised to invest 500,000 US dollars in the company."

Lane thought for a while and said, "If the two of us don't want a salary, then 2.5% of the shares for one person is fine, right?

If it is valued at $500,000, that's $12,500. We go to work for a few months, and we can earn it. "

"The meaning is different. Wages are fixed, but equity can increase in value."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "If we successfully win 8 Ivy League schools in three months, there are still 80% of California universities.

How many users do you think the site will have by then? 500,000 or 1 million? Is the website valuation just $500,000? "

Who can't brag?

Ryan was not fooled and lame, but said with a smile: "If there are really 1 million users, the valuation must be more than $500,000.

Just want to reach 1 million users, within three months, we have the manpower... I am afraid we can do it. "

Of course Xia Jingxing knew that "reaching 1 million users in three months" was nonsense.

It took Xiaomazi’s Facebook 10 months to get to this point, and in the middle of it, he received an angel investment of $500,000.

Seeing that the cake was torn down, Xia Jingxing did not blush.

You have to hold on at this time, otherwise it will be difficult to talk about it later.

The reason why we chose to recruit two more programmers is to prepare for the next expansion.

The puppy is still a little tender, and he can't stare at the website all the time. It is essential to find two people to strengthen the team.

But he doesn't want to dilute too many shares because of this.

In fact, the shares of the two together with 5 points are not much, but they account for half of the reserved option pool.

If you want to expand the option pool in the future, you can only cut your own flesh.

"It's not as good as this. You each get 1% of the shares. After three months, the company is established, and then you receive a part-time salary. First set a monthly salary of 2,000 US dollars. After you join full-time, we will adjust it."

Ryan glanced at Phyllis, who was also looking at him.

Represented by Ryan, he said: "We need to think about it."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Of course, this is also a big decision, but I can't make me wait too long."

Ryan smiled and said, "It won't be long, just one day and I'll answer you tomorrow."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Okay!"

"I have one more question to ask."

When Xia Jingxing was about to leave, Ryan suddenly said.

Xia Jingxing raised his hand, "Please speak."

Ryan laughed,

"I'm curious, what does Facebook in your mind look like in one year, two years, three years?"

Xia Jingxing smiled, "I'll tell you this when you join in, anyway, I won't disappoint you."

Ryan shrugged with a smile and didn't ask any more.

After Xia Jingxing and the puppy left, Ryan started a conversation with the taciturn Phyllis.

"Phyllis, what do you think? Should we join in?"

"To be honest, I think the shares are a little short. There is also a problem with the $500,000 he said."

"why?"

"If it were me, with such a sum of money, I would start recruiting now, why wait until three months later?"

"Well, there's some truth to it, but don't be fooled so much that you can't even find Beibei like the previous projects."

Ryan glanced at his partner and asked tentatively, "How about we partner up and make a website like this?

I studied it carefully, the difficulty is not high, and it can be done in a week. "

Phyllis pinched his furry chin, "It's not difficult to develop, but after all, we're a step late, so it's hard to say that we can win."

Ryan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, there are so many colleges and universities in the United States, let's avoid Stanford."

Phyllis's frowning brows suddenly stretched out, "This is a good move. Whether it is sold or merged with Facebook in the future, maybe you can make a fortune from it."

Ryan smiled, "Yeah, I originally wanted to really join them.

But 1% shares, too little, too little.

Even if the company is worth 100 million in the future, it will only be 1 million US dollars, not to mention there will be financing dilution. "

Phyllis glanced at Ryan and asked with a smile, "Have you already had this idea? Joining others is also to spy on the military situation."

"There's really no such thing. It's just that my mind suddenly changed, and I felt that it would be better to do it myself if I joined others."

Ryan sighed, "You said that we have also built some websites in the past few years, although we have not been successful, but in terms of experience, how can we be better than those rookies!

We also have to thank Daeron and his team for giving us a way out.

This kind of website can be popular at Stanford, and it should be able to adapt to Harvard, Yale, Columbia. "

Phyllis nodded, "In terms of adaptability, I don't doubt it. Is this website valuable?"

After hesitating for a while, Ryan said: "If more than 10 million college students in the United States are using it, it must be valuable."

"It's still a bit difficult to achieve this goal."

Ryan shook his head, "I don't see it that way, look at how quickly Facebook has become popular on campus.

It really doesn't work, and we don't have much to lose, just shut down the website.

If it is successful, then we will be the first batch of entrepreneurs out of the Internet winter. "

Phyllis was a little moved, and made a decision in an instant: "That's okay, do it."

Thinking that Facebook has been online for more than a week, he reminded again, "If we decide to do it, we must be quick, and we must win the Ivy League school ahead of Daeron's team."

Ryan said with a smile, "Of course, whoever grabs the lead will be the ultimate winner."

Both are very smart and know the meaning of occupying the Ivy League.

Because it is a university in a university, it is also a fashion vane on the university campus, and it is the decisive battle of this business competition.

There is no need for Xia Jingxing to reveal this, as long as they want to copy and imitate, they will definitely want to.

"You said they refused?"

Xia Jingxing was a little surprised after listening to the little dog reporting the news.

I thought it was a sure thing, but it turned out that people didn't look at Facebook, or they disliked too few shares.

Anyway, it is impossible for him to divide the shares generously.

Since the two refused, then forget it, they deserved to be unable to make a fortune in their lifetime.
