My Age of Investment

  Chapter 16 Identity Issues

   "The Facebook domain name has been registered."

  Little Dog went to the domain name registration website and found out that it had been listed first.

  This is really "bad news".

  Kristina frowned, "What about the World Wide Web?"

  The little dog tinkered with it again, and said depressedly: "Global Net has also been registered..."

  The two turned their gazes to Xia Jingxing, who was incomparably calm on the side. The latter was drinking juice leisurely, not in a hurry to get angry.

  "Dalun, what should I do? Is it a change of name."

  After seeing the design and page of the website, Kristina also had some evaluation in her heart.

  No longer looks like I was indifferent at all. At this time, I am ready to offer advice and suggestions, and I really want to join this project.

  She is not sure whether this website will succeed in the end, or which step it can reach. From the current point of view, the product is really good and has the potential to become a big hit.

  "Try TheFacebook."

  Xia Jingxing remembered that the Facebook domain name is still in the hands of a small company called AboutFace.

  Xiao Mazi also used TheFacebook as a domain name for more than a year.

  It was not until the A round of financing of more than 10 million U.S. dollars was obtained that the "Facebook" domain name was bought and replaced with 200,000 U.S. dollars.

   "OK, the registration is successful."

  After getting the instructions, the little dog started to work immediately, and it was done in a short while.

   "I always think Facebook is better and more concise."

  Christina expressed her opinion, “If the future develops smoothly, we must find the holder of the Facebook domain name and buy this domain name.

  Even FB, Facebooks...These similar domain names should also be taken down so as not to be copied. "

  Xia Jingxing glanced at the foreign girl, you think it is really long-term.

  Kristina misunderstood the look in Xia Jingxing’s eyes, and hurriedly explained: “I’m not so lofty, but making long-term plans.”

   "I understand, look forward to the future, good idea."

  Xia Jingxing looked at her and asked: "Miss Christina, would you like to join our team now?"

"my pleasure."

  Kristina answered decisively, without hesitation.

   "But I have a question?"

  Xia Jingxing didn't know what the foreign girl wanted to say, and motioned her to continue.

  "How to allocate equity?"

  The main show is here.

  Xia Jingxing has never taken out the equity as a condition to solicit the dogs and Christina.

  Even after Little Dog joined in, he didn't mention it.

  Everything is because the timing is immature.

  Before having creativity and ideas without actual products, it was obviously not convincing enough.

  Now the product is out, although it has not officially started to promote it, it is obviously beneficial for him to retain more equity.

  Because he proposed the idea of ​​the website, he even completed 80% of the development work.

  This gives him an advantage and right to speak in the subsequent division of the shareholding structure.

  The division of shares in the early founding team is a science.

  There must be a backbone, that is, a major shareholder, who can decide the direction of future development.

  For partners, the lack of equity can not mobilize their enthusiasm for work, and it is likely to cause the project to die.

  After all, personal energy is limited, so it’s impossible to go alone.

  Xia Jingxing also has no money to hire employees, so she counts on fooling some people to work for nothing.

   Christina asked at this time, and he will not avoid this question.

  The little dog looked at Xia Jingxing eagerly. If he could give him some shares, he wouldn’t need too much, and he would be very happy.

  After all, there is a sense of ownership, no matter whether the website can make money in the future, the sense of accomplishment is different.

  Kristina held her chin with her hand and looked at Xia Jingxing, waiting for the answer from the other party.

  "I have just arrived in the U.S. for just one month, and I cannot apply for OPT (the internship period after graduation with an F1 student visa, usually 12 months), and I don’t have a green card.

  You can start a company, but the restrictions are very large. "

  Xia Jingxing is going to spread the law to the two of them, “According to the laws of the US federal government, international students can invest in companies, receive dividends, inspect the company’s operations, formulate business plans, and so on.

  However, international students hold student visas in the non-immigrant visa category.

  This visa requires students to travel to the United States for study purposes, so international students cannot work for the company they open.

  Even for vacation internships, permission from the school is required, and working hours cannot exceed the prescribed time.

  If I start a company at this time, I can be a shareholder, but I can’t work, do you understand? "

  Kristina is an American, and she is not very aware of the various status restrictions for international students in the United States.

   Listening to Xia Jingxing’s words at this time, he was surprised: “Then you mean that after registering the company, you don’t care about it?”

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "At present, the website has not been officially promoted. The registration of the company can be slowed down, and I will talk about it later.

  If the development goes well, I will convert my F-1 visa to H1-B (work visa) in the future. "

  At this time, the United States has not yet issued the latest H1-B law, so you can start your own company and then hire yourself.

  After 2010, this method of exploiting loopholes will not work. The relationship between employees, employers, and shareholders must be clarified.

  "Perhaps you can consider EB-5 investment immigration. As long as $500,000, you can get a temporary green card. As long as you create jobs for 10 Americans, you can get a permanent green card in two years."

   Kristina suggested casually.

  Xia Jingxing glanced at the foreign girl meaningfully, and left me here and knocked on the side?

  In order to win more shares in the company in the future, Xia Jingxing nodded and said, "What you said is also a way. If this website develops sufficiently well, I think I will invest an additional 500,000 or 1 million US dollars."

"you sure?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, “Of course, I don’t have to make a joke, this one can be written into our partnership agreement.”

  Kristina was a little surprised, most of the student families living in a triple dormitory are not so wealthy.

  After all, as long as family conditions permit, who doesn’t want to live in a single room?

  Of course, there are also a small number of students with good families who choose to live in a multi-person room for reasons of making friends or enjoying the excitement.

  This is not absolute.

   "Okay, let's simply sign an agreement first."

  Kristina rolled her big blue eyes, “It will take three months, and the company will not be officially registered within three months to avoid some identity troubles.

  But after three months, the website develops smoothly, so a company must be registered and the shares must be implemented. "

"Can!"

  Xia Jingxing appreciates the truthfulness of foreign girls.

  Seeing that the boss agreed, the little dog naturally nodded.

   Christina continued: "If you want to invest an additional 500,000 or 1 million on the website within one year."

  She paused, "Take 500,000 as an example, the company is valued at least 500,000.

  And you are also the initiator and creator of the website. As a major shareholder, I definitely have no opinion.

but…"

  They are all foxes for thousands of years. What are you playing with me?

  Xia Jingxing thinks that foreign girls are very smart, but they are still too young, and all kinds of negotiation skills are still very immature.

   "Just tell me, how many shares do you want?"

  The foreign girl stood up, looked at the ceiling and stretched her waist lazily, her chest protruding with an amazing arc.

After   posted the show, the young girl said: "I want 20% of the shares."
