Chapter 1052 Incredible Investment

After Xia Chuan finished talking about key technologies, he discussed the development prospects of the electric vehicle industry and painted a beautiful picture of the future.

The design of various vehicle models, platform construction, and marketing techniques are all considered from the perspective of an entrepreneur.

Although no one dares to build an electric car, everyone seems to be yearning for that highly developed era of electric cars.

But what is really useful is that it allows them to understand most intuitively how the best entrepreneurs think about problems, solve problems, design strategies, and control costs...

This is completely different from the pure theory taught by the professor. This is something at the operational level, and Xia Chuan is the authority with the most say.

All the professors were deeply impressed by Xia Chuan's profound insight into every detail of the future.

This forward-looking prediction of various details in the future is completely consistent with his demand theory, but others can't see it, at least not as accurately as he does. Every detail is certain, and there is no other possibility. This makes people... How not to be shocked?

The principal deeply lamented that from the perspective of entrepreneurs, no one can surpass Xia Chuan.

Even in terms of technological innovation capabilities, no one can match it.

The speech is over.

There was warm applause from below. Xia Chuan motioned for Yang Zhiyuan and the two of them to go together, then took Shiyun's hand, followed by Gu Tianjiao, and left the auditorium with the principal and professors.

All the students looked at Yang Zhiyuan and Feiluo who were leaving with great envy.

The encounters in this life are like wine, some are bitter and some are strong.

Yang Zhiyuan and the two of them were still a little confused, and they couldn't find the feeling of height when they stepped on the clouds.

Although he usually has high expectations, he is still flattered by Xia Chuan's favor. The gap is too far.

In terms of age, they are all older than Xia Chuan, but in terms of achievements, Xia Chuan can crush them into scum.

Yang Zhiyuan whispered: "I'm not going to the restaurant, I'm going to the conference room."

"Well, eating in the conference room is confidential."

"Shit, save money by eating fast food."

The two of them chuckled.

……

When everyone was seated, everyone was served a piece of fast food.

The principal also specifically explained that eating here was for the convenience of conversation and to avoid leaking business secrets.

Xia Chuan secretly laughed in his heart, do you really think I would discuss website planning with Yang Zhiyuan in front of you?

He was not polite, so as not to bother the professors, he asked Yang Zhiyuan directly:

"When will you complete your PhD?"

"Next year. If you think it is necessary, we can consider taking a break from school and concentrate on the Internet." Yang Zhiyuan said that he was very good at communication, but Ferro became introverted and taciturn.

The principal looked indifferent, after all, they were all Stanford students.

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "It's your business whether to stop studying or not. Let's talk about setting up a company. Note, first, the investor is my wife, not me. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone laughed, and Yang Zhiyuan spread his hands: "You are too polite, I don't think there is any difference."

Ferro also nodded. Who doesn't know that Xia Chuan has no property in his name, but he has the final say in everything, and he hasn't heard a word from Zuo Shiyun until now.

"Second, my wife invested US$[-] million in cash, accounting for [-]% of the shares, and you account for [-]% of the management shares. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes almost flew out.

Isn't Xia Chuan's shareholding ratio too low?

Yang Zhiyuan took a breath. He never expected that Xia Chuan would not hold the controlling stake. He said, "We definitely have no objection."

He really doesn't understand the Internet thoroughly, and Xia Chuan's ratio is already very high.

Entrepreneurship financing cannot concentrate equity in one hand, otherwise it will be easy to lose control and kick them out.

Of course, they didn't care about Xia Chuan's control, because they were impressed by Xia Chuan's ability and prestige.

"Third, and most importantly, after you complete your studies, I will invest another US$[-] million and increase the equity to [-]%. Do you agree?"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

It turns out that your ten million is for two people to play with?

Yang Zhiyuan and Feiluo looked at each other. Although there was only [-]% left, they were worth tens of millions without doing anything. Why not?

They don't even have a personal website, how can they resist this temptation?

The professors found it more and more unbelievable. On what basis did Xia Chuan dare to spend [-] million U.S. dollars all at once, and he also wanted to use [-] million U.S. dollars to lock these two people?

"Agree." Yang Zhiyuan and the two said in unison.

Xia Chuan suddenly smiled. The two of them didn't know how much they would regret it in the future, but no one in the world could resist this temptation, because they were not prophets.

"Fourth, I will not participate in management. I will only provide planning and advice. All operating rights are yours. But I reserve the right to have the final say on all future financings and valuations."

"That's no problem." Yang Zhiyuan didn't think it was a requirement at all. He already holds [-]% of the shares, so does this count?

On the contrary, I feel that Xia Chuan gave up all management rights and only provided planning and advice. This is simply an angel.

Yes, this is the angel wheel.

It is the investment with the highest risk and the highest return among venture capital investments.

But for Xia Chuan, it's the complete opposite. The risk is not to let other venture capital pry it away.

And this possibility is very high. Countless people dare to invest in the investments he is optimistic about, so the most important thing is to push others to the third round.

The valuation at that time was one billion dollars.

Well, leave it to Son.

Xia Chuan said with a smile on his face: "Very good, we need to give the company a name now. What do you think it should be called?"

The two of them immediately stared blankly and racked their brains.

All the professors were ashamed. Why did I feel constipated?

The principal smiled and reminded: "Do you need to think about it yourself?"

The two of them suddenly reacted. Yang Zhiyuan smiled at Xia Chuan and said, "You are the major shareholder, so you should take it."

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "This has nothing to do with equity. If you don't have any objection, just call it Yahoo! Note that there is an exclamation mark after it."

Their eyes suddenly lit up. Damn it, this name is so embarrassing.

"Okay! Great!" The two of them clapped their hands together.

On the contrary, the professors looked at each other, what's the good thing? With an exclamation mark?

They are really the same kind of people, and they both think it’s good?

Shi Yunbi drafted the contract in duplicate and gave it to the two of them to sign.

The two glanced at each other and saw that it was an agreement and they signed it immediately.

Shiyun said: "After you finish eating, first create a company account, and then tell me the account number first. I will ask the accountant in Xiangjiang to transfer the money, and then you can register the company."

"Ok, ok." The two of them immediately picked up their chopsticks to eat and didn't care about anything else. They ate first and left first.

The principal asked in disbelief: "You didn't even talk about this key thing, so you just started a company?"

Yang Zhiyuan thought to himself, I won’t even treat you as an interview, do you think we are all stupid?

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "Registering the company is the key, otherwise what will happen if they don't need me to invest after I finish talking?"

The professors suddenly looked collapsed and had nothing to say.
