The Goddess Shines on America

"Three thousand dollars . . . that's about as much as we can come up with."

When Santi said these words in a low voice, her heart had completely fallen to the bottom.

In fact, as early as the night of the meeting with Alice, on the way back to Stanford by car, she had already had a heated argument with her husband.

According to Santi, even if Alice is very lucky to develop the router, after all, they are the real professionals. The so-called family background, as a teacher of the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University to start a company, just showing this name is enough to attract many customers. In comparison, a little girl who is only twelve years old is really nothing.

God knows, it's just an ordinary Chinese middle-class family, maybe they don't even know what patent rights are!

According to Santi, although the girl's father, James Wang, became a professor at UCLA, which was a great achievement, he was nothing more than an ordinary teacher.

Yes, how many teenagers in America would be interested in history? He didn't even know this, but as a Chinese, he chose American cowboy culture as his research direction, which was typically just a flattering move by new immigrants trying to integrate into American society.

For such a partner, there is really no need to be too polite. If you can take down the other party's technology and let yourself monopolize the power, then of course it would be great!

Although her husband repeatedly expressed objections to her views, Santi did not waver, but instead came up with the idea of ​​testing the other party.

So, on the day when Alice's family was invited to visit, under Sandy's repeated insistence, Posac changed into a neat suit, and it was a BOSS brand specially bought for four hundred dollars. Put on a rented Chanel suit, too, and get ready to welcome guests.

Not surprisingly, when Alice's family arrived, they didn't recognize the style of clothing on them at all.

No, Santi still found out that Sophie Wang, who was married to a Chinese, recognized her, but her yellow-skinned husband and the little devils in that family completely ignored it!

Therefore, when Alice proposed that 70% of the technology should be invested in the shares, Santi objected almost without hesitation. It was only because of the quality of middle-class university teachers that she didn't look at the girl greedily. relatively.

She didn't even recognize the thousands of dollars worth of Chanel suits she rented, so she was ashamed to ask for such a high stake! ?

But what Santi didn't expect was that Alice's logical and dialectical thinking was quite good. When the series of words came out, she was completely overwhelmed!

What made Sandy even more angry was undoubtedly Alice's half-smile expression after she finished speaking.

what's so funny?

Didn't you just get lucky and make a product a while earlier than us?

But the moment of embarrassment came when Alice finally asked how much money the couple could put up to invest in the shares.

"Three thousand dollars?"

Alice blinked her eyes, looked at Sophie and James, and saw that the parents also had stunned expressions.

"Santi, are you sure you didn't mean 30,000 yuan? Although the oil crisis is still raging, it doesn't mean that the salary of university teachers is...so low, right?"

She looked at the Bosacks with strange eyes: "Could it be that you got into a lawsuit not long ago and paid all your savings to the lawyer? Even if our country advocates excessive consumption, you don't have such a small savings, right? No, don't you just Can't apply for a loan?"

The corners of Sandy's mouth twitched uncontrollably, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.

In the end, it was Bosack who said: "James should have realized this point. When university teachers conduct research, not all projects can get the support of the school. When Iger and Ige were researching the field of Internet communication, we did not get support from the university. Support, because the school is not optimistic about this achievement, so we have been using our own salary to advance."

After the words fell, Santi also seemed to have found the backbone, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, so, our husband and wife have already started spending money on this product. Although we were not able to compare with you in the end, it is also For the initial investment, we spent tens of thousands of dollars to purchase various experimental equipment. If this capital is included, it can be worth 5~10% of the shares, right?"

Alice laughed silently, Santee Lerner, no, the currently undivorced Mrs. Bosack has an astonishingly abundant desire for control and power.

Sophie smiled confidently: "This is not reasonable, ma'am, your so-called upfront investment is purely personal and has nothing to do with the company. And we are now planning to form a partnership to establish a business, so how can we pay for it?"

Alice followed her mother's words and said: "Yes, yes, if your initial investment has achieved results, you can indeed directly invest in technology, but now the results are mine, and it would be too unfair for you to also invest in technology. ?”

At this time, James also spoke.

"Technology shares, or capital shares, or fixed assets as shares in cash, are nothing more than these three methods. The development of the company cannot be without financial support. Alice has already invested in technology. If you want to get shares in technology, then Isn’t there no one to pay for the part of the capital invested?”

After James finished speaking, the only thing the Bosacks could do was to look at each other.

When it comes to the field of professional technology, they can definitely defeat James and Sophie with eloquence. But for any other aspects, such as the way to set up a company, such as the relevant regulations of the enterprise law, and even eloquence, they are far from what they are good at.

"We will borrow money, you can rest assured!"

Santi gritted her teeth, and said decisively: "We have good reputation in various banks, and it is not difficult to borrow money. Stanford can also subsidize part of it. About... 20,000 U.S. dollars can still be scraped together!"

Alice and Sophie looked at each other again, and they smiled silently.

"Twenty thousand yuan is enough as the initial capital. After all, the production process of routers is not complicated. The focus is on programming, that is, the purely technical requirements are very high. This money is used to register the company, rent offices, and purchase the first batch. There are more than enough spare parts for the goods.”

Alice said loudly: "So, as everyone knows, I am still young, so I don't get involved in business operations. Then after submitting the relevant technologies, including the production of products, the promotion and marketing of the first batch of customers, Leave it all to you?"

She looked at Santi with a smile: "It's close at hand, ma'am, Stanford University can be the first customer, right? With the relationship between your husband and wife in the school, it is not difficult to get the first order for our new company Bar?"

Sandy nodded silently. Alice's words were all said by themselves. It is true. Alice is still young, and he has already mastered the first batch of customers...

Suddenly, an extremely awkward feeling came over her face, making Santi stunned.

What is the current situation?

I should be happy that the company is about to be established, but the current distribution of shares and responsibilities...

"So I'm the marketing manager?"

Santi couldn't recover, who is she? She is a teacher in Stanford's computer department, a senior engineer, shouldn't she be a technical director or something? How did you become such a character! ?

"That's right, I'm sure you can't let me do this kind of work, right?"

Alice spread her hands, looking even more innocent: "Although I can't sell door-to-door, I can't compare to your innate advantages. Besides, I have to go to school, and it takes time and effort to upgrade the router. Hanging out with my mates, doing the damn homework, and I'm even getting ready for my graduation show in June, you know? So, you guys have to be in this marketing job."

"Besides, if the adults don't act, let a little girl go door-to-door to lobby... This... let's not talk about the minor protection law and labor law, can you bear it?"

Alice blinked her big eyes quickly as she uttered those last words.

The whole family was secretly laughing, even though Oscar wanted to roll his eyes, he couldn't help it.

Seeing what his wife was going to say, Bosac pressed her wrist.

"That's how it is, Alice technology shares, and our capital shares. The amount we can take out is about 20,000 US dollars, but after all, only 30% of the shares are too small, right?"

Bosack smiled softly, without his wife's aggressive posture at all, which made Alice's family feel relaxed: "As Alice herself said, she still has daily life to deal with, and as adults, we can Focus all your energy on the development of your business.”

"Customer promotion, product production, management accounts, and capital investment, not to mention that we are still engineers after all. So, if the two of us, husband and wife, only account for 30% of the share...isn't it too small? Unless you say... Wang Madame and Sir also plan to get involved in the company's operations?"

When Bosack finished his last sentence, he looked cautiously at James.

Indeed too little.

If it was the case when Bill Gates founded Microsoft, with only Paul Allen around, then the four-six distribution is not surprising. But now, the minimum number of shareholders is also three, and Alice will only provide technology in theory, unless James and Sophie also work in the company, otherwise, "her side" should not account for 70% amount.

Otherwise, it would be too bullying!

Even if intellectual property rights are very important, you can't sit on 70% of the share just by being a shopkeeper!

What's more, the collaborators are also intellectuals, okay? ?

Respect the intellectuals, okay? ?

Since we all respect knowledge, how can we not respect intellectuals! ?

What's more, if the entire Wang family really controls the company's shares, accounting for 70% of the shares...

Didn't Cisco become a family business?

He and Santi have really become pure high-end wage earners!

"Then reduce the ratio."

Alice smiled.

Only when you are willing to give up small profits can you win big profits. It is actually meaningless to be entangled in equity allocation at this moment.

You know, as long as she doesn't kill herself on purpose, according to the normal historical trend, the founder couple will be kicked out sooner or later.

However, it is not so easy for Alice to just give up the initial shares of this company.

So, just when the Bosacks showed joy, her eyes rolled strangely.

"However, I have additional conditions~"
