Chapter 238: Desolate and ecstasy (5k)
Although WeChat companies are facing potential funding shortage pressure and Yu Xing is quite worried about this, his smile regains his face as soon as he leaves the president''s office.
At the same time, WeChat company also ushered in good news similar to Bai Xiaosheng. As the project development progress was mostly progressing, the company received a US$5 million investment in Kestrel Capital''s Series A round.
The funds were already known to the senior executives of WeChat in advance, but the release of this time is to better inspire everyone''s enthusiasm for work.
As soon as the A round of financing came in, the second option work originally discussed was carried out along with the trend.
Unlike the previous 5% distribution, the 5% after this financing is not obtained by Yu Xing personally, but by the company setting up an option pool, and the distribution is weighted based on factors such as anonymous scoring and R&D progress.
Yu Xing’s main purpose is to promote the company’s technical level guarantee and motivation. Anonymous scoring naturally focuses on everyone’s contribution to work. Specifically, each group includes “list three colleagues who contributed the most to the implementation of technical solutions” “list three colleagues with the highest code quality” “list three colleagues with the best three colleagues in technological innovation and optimization” “three colleagues with the best performance in cross-group cooperation”…
Although it may still be difficult to avoid human nature, the answer after this scoring result can probably prove that the impact of the former has been reduced to a very low level.
On the last day of April, the sixth and fourth floors were on May Day holidays.
Yu Xing finished his work early that evening and cooked a table of dishes with great interest in cooking, and inevitably mentioned the newly released option allocation.
"You guess, if the five WeChat groups scored anonymously, who has the highest score?"
"You are in such a good mood today, that''s..." Liu Wanying guessed while peeling shrimps, "Just Ge Zhijie."
Yu Xing asked for the reason: "Why guess him."
"The cost of asking him is the highest, and his performance in the company is the most unstable. You still need to spend your energy to comfort him if you have nothing to do." Liu Wanying said with a smile, "If you don''t have real skills, it will still be quite a dampening of fighting spirit."
Yu Xing nodded: "Indeed, I really didn''t expect that he had the highest rating. I originally thought that there would be no problem with a top three. Instead, it was Deputy Director Tan Ruize, who ranked fourth. After observing this for a while, Tan Ruize was actually more enjoyable in the company."
"The new company is rushing for progress again, and with this anonymity mechanism, it is no surprise. If your company can be successful, it may be different if it runs for a few years and then again." Liu Wanying commented.
Yu Xing smiled and said, "This kind of trouble must be done."
Liu Wanying took a bite of shrimp and praised, "It''s so delicious. If I fail to short this time, I will take out the money I have in the box and open a small restaurant with Chef Yu. Oh, your cooking skills have improved again. This shrimp is really good!"
Yu Xing was amused by her exaggerated reaction and said, "It''s just fresh, and the live shrimps are tight and tender."
Liu Wanying reached out and handed the freshly peeled shrimp tail to Yu Xing''s mouth, and said casually: "WeChat company has been established for more than two months and is still generous. The allocation of options for two consecutive times is nearly 9%.
The first time the 5% option was taken directly from Yu Xing. Kestrel''s A round of US$5 million was exchanged for 20% of its shares. After the 10% option pool setting, it now accounts for 3.6%.
Adding the second time 5%, this adds up to 8.6%. According to the current valuation, the total value is around 16.75 million Huaxia coins, which is about 70,000 to 200,000 yuan for employees.
"I also want to inject chicken blood for them, but how do I get this thing?" Yu Xing said while eating. "Most people can only see what has been achieved. This is human nature. How can I put the final victory that I didn''t realize or even believe in before everyone? This is a big problem."
He smiled at this point: "So, overcome this problem and change to a related way to form internal motivation."
"We value technology, give budgets, give good benefits, and give options, which are related. I can only say that your company is really a utopia. Combined with the goal of defeating the penguin, it is really a utopia in the utopia." Liu Wanying gave a sharp comment.
"So, I''m investing more and more in this utopia, and I feel more and more pressure." Yu Xing said seriously, "In this way, Bai Xiaosheng''s pressure is much less."
Liu Wanying thought for a while and said, "Guiai.com, Bai Xiaosheng, WeChat, you can arrange it in order, oh yes, there are still mountains."
Yu Xing had never considered this matter, and he thought it was quite interesting: "First of all, Bai Xiaosheng has the least pressure. Secondly, he crossed the mountain in the dark, but it had the risk of capital loss. Every time I really started to take action, I could feel a lot of pressure."
"As for Guiai.com and WeChat..."
The first project is facing heavy personal and family pressure, and the current one is facing severe market competition pressure.
Yu Xing thought about it carefully, and after thinking about it, he couldn''t help but touch a cigarette.
Liu Wanying stopped his intention to smoke with laughter and cry: "It''s just a chat, don''t lose your appetite."
Yu Xing took a sip of tea and shook his head: "Just go side by side, everyone wants to smoke."
"It''s just the holiday, relax. According to your development progress, it may be online next month, so you have to immediately join the battle. If you have another cold or fever, the pressure will only increase." Liu Wanying suggested, "Don''t think about it in the next few days."
Yu Xing also felt it was reasonable and just took advantage of the May Day holiday to adjust his state and face the most severe competition with the fullest spirit, which may be the most gorgeous performance.
However, it is said to be a holiday, but this year, there are actually only three days off, and there are two more days to be Saturday and Sunday.
Yu Xing was stuck at home with Xiaoying for a day, and the next day he went to the stadium with her and was sweating all over. On the last day of the holiday, he thought about going out for a walk and bought some shiny gifts for his mother.
I casually walk in the park during the day, and in the evening, I felt everyone''s nostalgia for the long holiday on the last day of the holiday in Hengmeitai Business District.
"From such shopping, the economy is recovering, and you Bai Xiaosheng can still make achievements in the recruitment market." Liu Wanying casually talked about the reflection of the economic environment.
"Well, the data Bai Xiaosheng has been exposed to is rising." Yu Xing agreed.
Liu Wanying took Boss Yu''s hand for a while, then suddenly stopped and signaled him to look to the left with his eyes.
Yu Xing looked at it for no reason and immediately smiled.
"Oh, did you lose money when you sold? The business is still in operation." Liu Wanying teased and signaled to go and take a look at the "love contract" stall in the square.
It has been almost two years since the emergence of the summer of 2008 to the May Day of 2010.
Yu Xing and Liu Wanying walked closer and saw that it was not only a love contract, but also a signboard of Zhenai.com, not only Zhenai.com, but even the employees who were packaged and sold together.
"Well, are you reliable?" Yu Xing asked in a thick voice after the couple who were asking about business in front left.
"Hello, of course it''s reliable. We are a love contract project under Zhenai.com. So far, we have provided sweet blessings to tens of thousands of couples." The employees in front of the stall said in a familiar way, "Do you know Zhenai.com? Zhenai.com is the leading marriage and love company in the country. This is our flyer, and the company can find it with just one check."
Yu Xing raised his head and questioned: "Did you provide blessings or provide the final redemption?"
"Our business has already entered...ah?" Cui Jingwei, who is now an employee of Zhenai.com, explained half of the sentence when he suddenly saw that the person in front of him was a former boss, and said in surprise, "Mr. Yu... Oh... Mr. Yu..."
"Oh, Cui Jingwei, do you still remember me? Why are you setting up a stall here? Have you been doing well in the past two years?" Yu Xing smiled and called out the former employee''s name, "I remember you are the deputy director of operations."
Cui Jingwei was the team leader who went from Jinling to Shencheng to develop the market with Yu Xing. At one time, because his family despised the company too small, he thought the product was unreliable and wanted to resign.
At that time, Yu Xing, who was about to sell the project, persuaded Cui Jingwei to stop and then complete the final transaction after he was promoted.
Yu Xing’s impression of Team Leader Cui is quite pragmatic and has always had a good impression.
"Hehe, there is still a deputy director, but now he is mainly a city manager. When he has nothing to do, he will squat on the front line together." Cui Jingwei smoked his former boss and introduced him to his current colleagues, "This is Mr. Yu. Our project was founded by Mr. Yu. He is Dr. Yu from Bai Xiaosheng that I often mention."
Yu Xing took the cigarette and smiled at the Zhenai.com employee who greeted him: "Don''t know me, I have also been the internal audit director of your Zhenai.com."
The employee of Zhenai.com touched his head, obviously not familiar with the episode, and only smiled honestly.
Yu Xing lit a cigarette and asked, "Cui Jingwei, how have you been doing in the past two years? Is the work going well?"
"That''s the case, we, uh, Zhenai.com''s love contract is mainly to develop in social groups, but this is a bit difficult. Moreover, not only Zhenai.com has, but also similar products of all sizes on the market. In the first half of this year, insurance companies have also participated in it." Cui Jingwei smoked and said seriously, "So, the competition is quite large. Although Zhenai.com has been around for many years, the creditworthiness of insurance companies is completely different."
Yu Xing changed his mind. Although he had been two years, the impact of a love contract in society was still in a corner. However, if the insurance company came to pursue profits, the "public order and good customs" he had been worried about earlier may be hindered.
He didn''t talk about this, but just nodded and said, "It''s really not easy to compete with insurance companies, it''s difficult."
"Well, but we were a little early. In order to better market, we gave a group of customers who exchanged in advance, and we still had a first-mover advantage." Cui Jingwei said.
"You guys talk first, I''ll buy a chain for my aunt." Liu Wanying next to her spoke at this time.
Yu Xing nodded and simply sat behind the stall.
Cui Jingwei is actually very familiar with the experience of his former boss over the past two years. On the one hand, he pays attention naturally, and on the other hand, Bai Xiaosheng always has big and small news. He also registered for the forum account and is considered a medium user.
The two of them have a close relationship as close as before, so they will have a hot chat behind the stall.
Even Yu Xing returned to his old business and introduced the business to the curious couple.
When he really successfully sold a order, he couldn''t help laughing when the customer left: "Cui Jingwei, how about it? My skills are not reduced, right?"
Cui Jingwei said sincerely: "Yes, Mr. Yu, if you continue to do this project, it will definitely be very good." Yu Xing laughed happily.
As night falls, lights are on, and there are more couples curiously asking in front of the stall.
Yu Xing simply pinched the cigarette and focused on promoting business on Zhenai.com, which was also a sign of gratitude.
A couple just left, and a couple came again.
"What are you?" A voice came into your ears.
Yu Xing raised his head with a smile and just saw the middle-aged man in front of him asking, and his expression suddenly became stunned, feeling that this expression looked quite like an old friend.
"Hello, we are a love contract product under Zhenai.com, which specializes in sending couples the final blessings. As long as you finally enter the marriage hall, you can get roses/gold and other products." Cui Jingwei saw that the former boss was not moving and introduced.
The middle-aged man frowned: "It''s just some scams."
Cui Jingwei has inevitably encountered similar reviews in the past two years. He has no mood swings at all at this time, but just introduces the company and product situation.
Yu Xing listened to the middle-aged man''s continuous doubts, listening to the familiar voices in his memory, his heart beat faster, almost confirming who he was - the former father-in-law, Lao Deng Xu Zhenghong, who had blocked his and his girlfriend''s further development due to economic and other issues several times!
No wonder he has the appearance of an old friend, but he turns out to be his father!
Yu Xing let out a breath and did not speak out for help. People and things are different. Even if he meets that person, she has not been portrayed for several years and is not the one she was when she met.
Although they are one person, they are actually two similar flowers.
However, Yu Xing''s mood is still unavoidable. The relationship that was once under the haze of the economy naturally cannot escape the influence of this important factor. If you get to know each other, you cannot avoid the bumps and bumps. In the end, the pain of life is greater than the sweetness of love.
Yu Xing walked to the side and lit a cigarette.
"You guy is leisurely." The middle-aged man Xu Zhenghong hugged his new girlfriend and didn''t want to waste money. He saw the employee behind the stall coming to light a cigarette, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction, "Is it just serving customers like this?"
Cui Jingwei quickly explained: "Mr. Yu is not an employee of our Zhenai.com."
When Xu Zhenghong heard this title, he looked up and down at Yu Xing who was smoking and wondered: "Mr. Yu?"
"Yu, the top ten young economic figures in our Shencheng this year, and the company is about to go public." Cui Jingwei is very familiar with the former boss''s current achievements, and even knows the latest honors, so he can just say it.
Yu Xing waved his hand and signaled Cui Jingwei not to talk about these things.
Xu Zhenghong was a little awe-inspiring, young and had a background of honor, and the company was close to listing. No matter whether it was a treacherous or not, he could not be regarded as a small vendor.
"Oh, let''s buy one. Do you have no confidence in the future?" Xu Zhenghong''s new girlfriend acted coquettishly.
Xu Zhenghong frowned, and saw Yu Xing''s slight gaze, so he didn''t talk nonsense. He spent hundreds of dollars to make a liar to coax his girlfriend.
Of course, he couldn''t marry his new girlfriend, the money was wasted.
Xu Zhenghong paid the money and signed it. He thought about chatting with Yu Xing in the middle, but he ended the purchase of the product without getting a response.
"Mr. Yu, what''s wrong?" Cui Jingwei felt that the former boss''s sudden silence was a little strange.
"It''s okay." Yu Xing shook his head and handed Cui Jingwei a cigarette. "When I remember something, I don''t know what''s going on, I feel like I feel angry."
Cui Jingwei didn''t understand and just smoked.
After smoking, Yu Xing cheered up again and helped sell two groups of customers, but he was already bored.
"Let''s go, Cui Jingwei, you''re busy, I''ll go stroll inside." He greeted him.
Cui Jingwei nodded, feeling a little reluctant.
However, before Yu Xing could move, he saw Xu Zhenghong, who had bought the product before, hurried over.
"Retreat, retreat, you guys have to return this." Xu Zhenghong arrived at the stall and shouted to refund the money, "What''s the matter, it''s all a lie, you''re about to withdraw!"
The two of them were together just now, and now he came to refund the money himself.
Yu Xing cursed Lao Deng inwardly and couldn''t help but say, "We need to notify both parties of our refund."
Xu Zhenghong was furious: "You can tell me one and try it? Today, you can''t even set up this stall."
Yu Xing remembers that his relationship with him is not good, so he said angrily: "It''s only a few hundred yuan, what''s wrong with you?"
"A few hundred yuan is not money, is your money blowing from the wind?" Xu Zhenghong insisted on withdrawing.
Cui Jingwei saw that someone was watching from the side, and agreed to refund the money.
Xu Zhenghong said proudly: "You guys are just cheating young people. It''s okay to cheat my daughter, but you can cheat me? Two years and blessings are nonsense. Can you get married by half of your things?"
Yu Xing: “…”
If it were half, the company would have gone bankrupt.
He looked at Lao Deng who was complacent in front of him and sighed, "Lao Xu, don''t count this probability. Judging from your attainments, your daughter''s math is not much better."
I understand Lao Xu, I really love money, and I am really stingy. Naturally, I also understand Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu is different from her father, so I have never been able to settle accounts well.
Xu Zhenghong sneered and said proudly: "My daughter has been good at math since she was a child. I have trained her since she was a child. She settled the family''s accounts by herself. I was wrong. You guys can''t even cheat my daughter."
Yu Xing took a sip of cigarette and laughed silently, and he even blew it.
But, just as he put down his cigarette, he saw Xu Zhenghong''s face with real pride, and he moved his heart and asked, "Your daughter is good at math? Is it okay to settle accounts since I was a child?"
"That''s not that?" Xu Zhenghong shook his head, "The child must be trained from an early age, so that she can plan for herself, spend, spend, and leave as much as she can. My daughter''s math must be how I practiced, what would I do if I lied to you?"
Yu Xing looked at Lao Deng in front of him in a daze.
If you have settled your accounts since childhood, why can’t Xiao Xu always calculate the mortgage? If you have good mathematics, why can’t Xiao Xu always refuse to remember the debts at home?
Yu Xing''s voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and he still asked unwillingly: "Really?"
Xu Zhenghong frowned, feeling that the young man in front of him was a little puzzled: "What''s true? Can there be fake?"
So that''s it...
The memory in Yu Xing''s mind was already a little blurred, but at this moment, Xiao Xu''s smile suddenly appeared again, "I will settle the score by the end of the year, remember."
He took a breath, as if he saw the girl squatting in the kitchen while peeling shrimps, "The shrimp that just died is so cost-effective. I walked in the supermarket twice before waiting for it to die. It is cheap and delicious."
Yu Xing was stunned in place, as if suddenly being hit by a bullet that was also going upstream.
The face in my mind seemed to be blurred, but her love suddenly became particularly clear.
But at this moment, even though Xiao Xu was standing in front of him, there were two similar flowers.
The only difference is that the soul is sad and ecstatic.
Yu Xing looked at Lao Deng.
Lao Deng looked at Yu Xing.
"Be kinder to your daughter." Yu Xing said in a hoarse voice.
Xu Zhenghong was furious, what was this?
"What''s wrong?" Liu Wanying appeared beside her, holding a gift bag in her hand, looked at the situation in front of her, and said the latest news, "Boss Yu, Penguin just upgraded its security software, which is almost exactly the same as 360."
Yu Xing took a breath and reached out to hold Xiaoying''s hand. A complex flame burned in his heart: "Let the penguin feel pain."
