Chapter 373 Dedicated to...
Jiaotong University.
School of Electronic Information.
Deng Zhi glanced at Xu Cheng beside her.
"The orientation party...what do you want with them?"
"Oh, recently I'm the chief director of the welcome party, and I want to invite them to help with a program."
Deng Zhi was a little confused.
"They...a bunch of people who make helicopters...what can they do to help?"
Xu Cheng did not answer, but followed Deng Zhi through the slightly dark corridor and came to the door of a laboratory. There was a sign on the door that read "Flight Control Experiment".
Deng Zhi turned around.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go talk to them first."
"Can."
Xu Cheng nodded.
Deng Zhi pushed the door open, and Xu Cheng waited at the door for a while, bored.
On the walls on both sides of the corridor were posted the school newspaper of Jiaotong University, on which there was an article titled "The first prize winner of the National College Student Robot Competition, Liu Xing's team from Jiaotong University..." which attracted Xu Cheng's attention.
There is also a photo of receiving the award next to it. Standing in the center is a chubby-looking boy wearing black-framed glasses.
Xu Cheng knew that this must be Liu Xing.
He looked nothing like the Liu Xing in the TV series that he had stereotyped.
However, the two have a lot in common in terms of their messy hairstyles.
Just then, the laboratory door was pushed open.
A boy with messy hair, wearing black-framed glasses and a fat figure walked out from behind the door.
He looked at Xu Cheng curiously.
"What can I do for you?"
Xu Cheng was an accident.
He didn't expect that he would meet Liu Xing in person so soon.
Just reach out your hand.
"Hello, Senior Liu Xing. I'm the chief director of this year's welcome party. My name is Xu Cheng."
"oh."
Liu Xing shook hands with him out of politeness.
I'm not too fond of Xu Cheng.
The general director of the welcome party... probably someone from the student union...
He has always focused on academic studies and never wanted to deal with people in the student union.
"Just tell me what you want to say. I'm quite busy today."
"Okay, let me make it short. As the director of the welcome party, I would like to invite your team to perform at the welcome party."
Deng Zhi, who was standing by, became more confused after hearing this.
In her opinion, the boys in the laboratory were like nerds who couldn't sing or dance.
Xu Cheng asked them what they could perform.
Not only her, Liu Xing also frowned and was completely confused for a moment.
"Invite...us?"
"What do we have to show?"
Xu Cheng deliberately kept the question in suspense and did not answer it, but asked him with a smile.
"Senior, if you start a business, will your funds be consumed quickly?"
"It's alright."
Liu Xing answered reluctantly.
I said it was okay, but my heart was suddenly hurt.
At the beginning of their business, they started with their own scholarships and the college's start-up funds.
But when it comes to high-tech and technological research, money burns faster than paper and is consumed at a very fast rate every day.
There is not much early funding left, and now we have to seek capital injection.
But the problem is that after hearing about their research on drone flight control, most investors just think of it as a remote-controlled toy for children and cannot see any real commercial value at all.
Another group of investors are not optimistic about the commercialization of this project. After all, the drone circle is too small.
The shortage of funds became a hurdle for Liu Xing's team.
Without money, research will stagnate, and it will be difficult to make any breakthroughs before finding sufficient investment.
The other side.
Xu Cheng could naturally see that Liu Xing was being stubborn.
People of this type have average facial expression management, and it's easy to tell what they are really thinking.
It’s good to have problems.
As an angel, he is here to solve problems for seniors.
Just smile.
"I came here this time to invite you to perform at the welcome party. Another reason is that as an investor, I want to ask about your team's willingness to raise funds. If you are interested, I would like to see your current research results."
Xu Cheng’s words left Liu Xing stunned for a long time.
“You invest in us?”
He's a bit numb.
Inviting them to perform at the welcome party was outrageous enough, but I didn’t expect that even more outrageous things were to come.
"Brother, a few hundred or a few thousand dollars is not much of an investment, so stop teasing us here."
On the other side, Deng Zhi was also dumbfounded.
Xu Cheng said he wanted to invest in them?
This is incredible!
It seems a bit incongruous that such a young man says he is an investor.
It completely overturned her perception of her classmate.
Looking at the two people with doubtful eyes, Xu Cheng sighed helplessly.
I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be questioned in return.
He took out a business card from his wallet and handed it over. Liu Xing took it and took a look. On it was written the name Xu Cheng, general manager of "Xiami Venture Capital". He stared at the boy in front of him with shock.
"You...are you really not kidding?"
Xu Cheng remained calm and just narrated the story.
"I just started this venture capital company not long ago, and I have already invested in a logistics company. I believe all of this can be checked. I'm joking with you, and there's no other benefit except wasting each other's time."
After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at his watch.
"Senior, my time is very tight. Can you show me around now?"
"……certainly."
Liu Xingren led Xu Cheng into the laboratory in a daze, with Deng Zhi standing beside him with a look of shock on his face as well.
The lab is a mess.
Liu Xing, who used to be a little dizzy, became clear-headed once it came to technical aspects.
He briefly introduced his team's research to Xu Cheng.
Similar to what Xu Cheng thought, Liu Xing was making drones, and the brand name was "Feixing".
They are not only developing aircraft, but also developing and improving various technologies and functions of drones.
"What is the difference between flight control and model aircraft?" Xu Cheng asked.
"The biggest difference is the flight control. The quality of the flight control directly affects the stability and reliability of the drone. This Feixing X1 controller is our most important achievement." Liu Xing introduced it to Xu Cheng, "Tong Xu...Boss, shall we go downstairs and fly it to see how it goes?"
"Can."
The group walked out of the college building. On the lawn in front of the college, another member in charge of operations controlled the plane and gave Xu Cheng a brief demonstration.
Liu Xing introduced on the side.
"Our biggest application prospect at present is aerial photography. X1 is also designed based on the idea of aerial photography. My idea is that in the future, the controller, 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, barometer and internal shock absorber can be integrated into a refined module to achieve flight control functions such as stable attitude and locked altitude..."
Liu Xing's professional words made Xu Cheng nod frequently.
Xu Cheng really felt that this person's professionalism in his field was very good.
Finally he turned around and asked.
"How about I buy all the shares of your company?"
"What?" Liu Xing was stunned.
"I am very interested in what you said . I want to acquire you completely."
“…”
Liu Xing felt as if he was dreaming and was speechless. He had mixed feelings about selling the company and couldn't make a decision for a while.
"It's okay. There's no rush for this. What's your valuation?"
Liu Xing and his team looked at each other, all bewildered. After a brief discussion, they gave Xu Cheng a number.
"1.8 million."
“How many shares are you willing to give up?”
Xu Cheng's answer surprised Liu Xing.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to bargain with Xu Cheng, but he didn't expect that he would agree so readily.
Then he exchanged glances with his companions for a moment.
"Forty percent..."
"40? That's 720,000, um..."
Xu Cheng's answer made almost everyone around hold their breath. Liu Xing's heart was even more wavering. He secretly thought that if Xu Cheng was teasing them, then he must show this guy the fighting power of a fat man today.
"I'm very optimistic about your project. I also like this kind of high-tech stuff. 700,000, 40% of the shares, and you need to set up an option pool. According to industry practice... reserve 10%."
Xu Cheng's talk almost made the students dizzy, and they were even more confused by what the option pool was.
But 700,000, a 40% valuation, was already a real number in front of them, and this time, the excitement on their faces was difficult to hide.
"What is an option pool?" Although Liu Xing didn't understand, he still had to clarify everything before making such a large transaction.
"It is a common practice for VC investors to reserve a portion of shares for future talents. You can also ask someone about it."
A 10% option pool is reserved, so after Xu Cheng acquires the shares, he will be able to control 40% of the shares. However, because of the 10% option pool, the shares held by Liu Xing's team will be diluted to 50%.
Although everything seemed calm on the surface, Liu Xing had actually lost his 51% relative controlling stake.
In other words, if Xu Cheng wants to take over the company in the future, it will be very convenient.
This has deepened Xu Cheng's control over "Flying Star" to a certain extent.
However, on the surface, a few students who have just entered society will definitely not be able to see this level .
In the next two or three days, the staff of Xiami Venture Capital began to negotiate with Liu Xing's team, which gradually calmed Liu Xing's heart, which felt unreal.
During this period, Deng Zhi, who witnessed the entire process and saw the staff of Xiami Venture Capital in person, was also convinced that her roommate's boyfriend, a classmate named Xu Cheng, did have incredible extraordinary qualities.
At the same time, the welcome party directed by Xu Cheng was also being arranged in full swing.
At first, many freshmen were not convinced by Xu Cheng's selection by the student union president, but he quickly won them over with his leadership ability.
He also made many new arrangements to the original old-fashioned program of the party.
Especially the degree of integration of Qingzhou with the entire evening party. Having watched countless variety shows, he has become very adept at inserting advertisements.
Moreover, Xu Cheng gradually understood why Jin Shuhong attached great importance to this welcome party. It was because the school leaders invited many alumni to this welcome party, and these alumni were elites from all walks of life.
The meaning of the invitation is self-evident, of course it is to give some of the old guy's gold coins to the school.
As an important part of it, the welcome party must be beautifully decorated.
"Director Xu, someone is looking for you."
Xu Cheng, who was choreographing, was suddenly called. He looked up and saw Lin Wanzhou standing at the door.
After sending everyone around away, Xu Cheng walked up to the girl.
"Why are you here?"
"I was just passing by and stopped by to take a look."
Lin Wanzhou looked relaxed, as if he was just passing by, but because he had lied, he was still nervous in his heart.
She can't say, you haven't paid today's public grain yet, I was afraid you forgot, so I came to remind you.
"Are you busy? Just do the important things first, I won't bother you."
Lin Wanzhou said something and was about to leave, but Xu Cheng grabbed her arm.
"I'm not busy. Nothing is more important than you."
When he said this, he looked at Lin Wanzhou with an extremely serious look.
The girl reminded herself silently in her heart.
This guy is really good at tricking girls...
Don't be fooled by him, Lin Wanzhou...
I don't care about his sweet words...
Damn it...
whee.
Lin Wanzhou couldn't help it in the end, and the sweetness in her heart instantly filled her entire chest.
"Don't give me that crap. I see a lot of people are waiting to find you. Many people think it's unreliable when they hear that the evening party is directed by a freshman, but I know that the evening party you choreograph will definitely be very different." Lin Wanzhou said confidently.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, Xu Cheng has always been so different, no matter what the matter is.
A welcome party will definitely be extraordinary in his hands.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
"Actually, there aren't many other tricks..." Xu Cheng felt a little embarrassed for a moment because of her praise. After all, his childhood sweetheart always liked to bicker with him. "Oh, since you're here, do you want to watch the next show? It's a song... dedicated to the school."
"What song is it that I'm sending to the school? Have I heard of it before?"
"No, this is probably the first time I sing this song. This song can be considered... original."
“Original?”
Lin Wanzhou looked at him curiously.
"Did you write it?"
Xu Cheng shook his head.
"No, it was written by someone I know, and it was originally written about their school. I just adapted it to our school..."
"Someone you know?"
Lin Wanzhou was a little suspicious.
But she knew that Xu Cheng had an inexplicable talent in music and often hummed melodies she had never heard before.
He couldn't have written it himself!
The girl guessed quietly.
At this time, the female singer had already come on stage, adjusted the equipment, and the sound of the prelude began to sound.
The melody was soothing and moving, and the lyrics were very romantic, as if telling the story of a romantic love story in college. Lin Wanzhou's eyes , and the same reaction appeared on the faces of many staff members.
"What's the name of this song?" She turned and looked at Xu Cheng.
The boy pursed his lips.
"Dedicated to Jiaotong University..."
