Chapter 5 Wealth and Silk Touching the Heart

For Internet companies, working overtime on weekends is common, and Kangsheng Technology is no exception.

Early on Saturday morning, the staff on duty felt something unusual. In the past, during holidays, only technical positions would be on duty in the company, but today is an exception. Not only the finances have come, but several shareholders have also entered the company one after another.

While everyone was still discussing privately, several people quickly left with a bunch of information, and the company returned to peace.

"Brother Liu, do you say that the young man just now is the big boss of the company?"

"I don't know, that's not simple." Liu Lei is an old employee and has the capital to brag at this time.

Kang Sheng was still living in the tube building opposite Zhonggang Plaza, so Liu Lei joined the company as a programmer. Who would have thought that now that the company's valuation is worth over 100 million yuan, he also moved into the office building in the core area of ​​Zhongguancun.

In just one year, Liu Lei transformed into one of the founding employees of the company. He naturally had psychological advantages in the face of the new programmer.

"Brother Liu, tell us quickly, why is that not simple?" Another programmer couldn't wait to ask.

Liu Lei naturally knew Chen Qiaoshan. At that time, the two bosses of the company, Dai Zhikang, were responsible for technology and Chen Qiaoshan was responsible for operations.

The old employees know that Dai is a master of technology and is a little stubborn and only focuses on technology. However, Mr. Chen is an operation expert. Whether it is to raise tens of millions of dollars in financing or insist on open source software, it is all done by Chen Qiaoshan.

But when the company gets on track, they turn around and leave without any nostalgia.

In the eyes of many old employees, Mr. Chen has almost become a legendary figure among the people.

Kang Sheng's valuation has long exceeded 100 million. Liu Lei once thought in private that if he were himself, he would definitely not be willing to bear this industry. Facing a group of younger brothers, he would not hide his admiration for Mr. Chen.

"Don't look at him being young, that is the controlling shareholder of the company. Kang Sheng can be as good as Mr. Dai today, but more of it is the country that Mr. Chen has built..."

Liu Lei's words caused a stir and immediately there was a lot of discussion.

…………

Not long after several shareholders left, several deputy generals of the company also rushed over.

Cheng Liang came the fastest. When Liu Lei was still bragging about how difficult the company was in the entrepreneurship period, Vice President Cheng had already entered the office area.

It was probably because he left in a hurry. Cheng Liang was sweating all over the head. Seeing Liu Lei and his group of people gathered together to brag, he immediately raised his face and taught a lesson: "Spend money to ask you to mess around here? You have nothing to do, right? If you don't want to do it, get out as soon as possible."

Liu Lei was shameless, but he was the boss, so he didn't dare to fight back. However, he was sure that he was unhappy and he was also very whispered. The technical department was directly led by President Dai, so he was not the turn of a sales deputy general manager to intervene.

The Technology Department is used to being casual, which is the tradition of Kangsheng Technology.

When Mr. Chen was still in the company, he directly broke the office partitions between departments and set up an open office, which had a very good effect.

Of course, some people joke that the funding was tight during the entrepreneurial period and they didn’t have the money to build an independent office. Everyone laughed at this.

As long as the result is good, no one will do this in the first place.

At Kangsheng, as long as the project progress is not delayed, the management never interferes with the working methods of programmers.

This measure was very popular and the effect was surprisingly good. In addition, Kangsheng Technology's high salary was given, so it soon became famous in Zhongguancun and created a team of luxurious programmers.

Cheng Liang's fear in his heart was vented a lot after he scolded a group of poor and junior grandsons.

Too lazy to continue to bury these lower-class programmers, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, calmed down his emotions, then changed into a smile, and walked into the president's office.

Chen Qiaoshan has left, but Dai Zhikang stayed in the company.

There was a document in front of him, but it didn't open it, and it was just placed there.

Thinking of the previous exchange with Chen Qiaoshan, Dai Zhikang's heart was far less calm than he seemed. He really didn't want to believe that his friends who had been in the company for their own benefit.

Like Yao Yong, Dai Zhikang is also from a scholarly family. His grandparents and parents are both college teachers and intellectuals, but their situations are different.

Yao Yong is a top student at Tsinghua University, but Dai Zhikang is a standard poor student. During college, his professional grades were at the bottom of the grade every year. Fortunately, this did not affect his programming skills. It was during that time that he met Cheng Liang.

The relationship between the two is a bit special. Not only is they a friend, but Cheng Liang is also a graduate student of Dai's father.

Their interests were not in their majors, and they preferred the Internet. The two hit it off at first sight, and later jointly organized the first community forum in Northeast China.

Because of his father and his early friendship, Dai Zhikang attaches great importance to Cheng Liang.

When Kangsheng completed tens of millions of US dollars in financing and Chen Qiaoshan voluntarily withdrew from management, Dai Zhikang invited Cheng Liang over and entrusted him with important tasks.

Who knew that the good intentions of the past have caused trouble today.

Dai Zhikang really couldn't believe that his most trusted friend actually betrayed him.

Until Cheng Liang walked into the office, Dai Zhikang never opened the material in front of him. When he saw that the person involved in the incident had arrived, he frowned slightly.

The company's accounts were just taken away, and Cheng Liangren arrived, which was a coincidence.

Thinking of the previous speculations, even if Dai Zhikang believed in Cheng Liang's character, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Zhikang, on the weekend, you are not at home with your wife, why do you come to the company so early?" Cheng Liang spoke first. He is Dai's father's boy, much older than Dai Zhikang. The two families have a close relationship and have been friends for many years. So he is more casual in private.

"Something is a matter of time. Come and deal with it and leave later." Thinking of Chen Qiaoshan's previous explanation, Dai Zhikang could only make a perfunctory sentence, and then he asked again: "Where are you here too?"

"I heard that Mr. Chen brought someone to the company to block the accounts. So, come and have a look." Although he was worried, Cheng Liang did not hide his intention.

After hearing his straightforward words, Dai Zhikang's suspicion was slightly reduced.

Dai Zhikang was very confused. He hoped that Cheng Liang would be innocent, but with his understanding of Chen Qiaoshan, he would definitely not joke about such things.

The key is the entire Finance Department. Chen Qiaoshan insisted on external audit this time, which clearly did not believe in Kangsheng's finances.

When Dai Zhikang thought of this, he felt a headache.

Cheng Liang also felt uneasy, and he asked again: "Why did there be no news in advance? Why did the company block the accounts?"

"The recent preparation for the introduction of an option plan and taking away the accounts is mainly to conduct a systematic audit of the early revenue. They will ask professional consulting companies to improve the existing financial system, and also involve the issue of preparing for the establishment of the board of directors."

Kangsheng has long passed the stage of the grass-roots team, and management must gradually get on track.

As early as the beginning of financing, the option pool was reserved. As for establishing a board of directors, this is Chen Qiaoshan's temporary proposal. As the controlling shareholder, he has this right. Establishing it as soon as possible will also be conducive to the management of the company.

"The company wants to issue options?"

Dai Zhikang clearly said three things, but Cheng Liang only listened to one thing. As for financial audits and board of directors, he ignored it directly.

Dai Zhikang felt a little dissatisfied, but he still said: "Yes, if you have been in the company for a certain period of time, you can get the corresponding options according to your rank."

Kangsheng was valued at the end of last year by over 100 million, and the number of users now exceeds 800,000, and the number of paid users has increased significantly. In addition, the revenue of the Internet Advertising Alliance is certain that the annual turnover exceeds 10 million.

According to the price-to-earnings ratio multiple method commonly used by Internet companies, Kangsheng Technology's valuation will be greatly improved.

Cheng Liang felt restless. As one of the company's executives, he would definitely be able to share a considerable share. Even if it is 1%, according to the current development momentum, it may be a huge amount of wealth in the future.

"What is the exercise price? How many shares can we vice presidents get?" Relying on our familiarity, Cheng Liang asked the most concerned question.

Options are not equity, it is the right to purchase equity at a certain price. Whether to give or not is the company's business. Whether the right to exercise is at its own discretion.

Since Kangsheng has made options, it means that he intends to list overseas, because only equity trading is allowed in China, and options are not protected.

"The price is not clear yet. You can get about 15:00, and the final plan shall prevail."

Although he doesn't care much about the company's operations, Dai Zhikang is not a fool either.
