Fang Yun is the CEO, Shen Bowen's Chuangyi Investment, Gao Yun and Shen Qiongxiao hold shares and serve as directors...

Gao finally realized that he seemed to be overthinking this matter. It was not a couple starting a business, but Fang Yun and Shen Bowen, a couple in name only.

As for myself and Teacher Shen, they are only responsible for playing a side role. They don't want to touch the company's operations and management. It is their responsibility to make two mascots to go on stage to the public. In the name of using their fame to open up the software promotion situation, it is their responsibility to follow up the platform. Formal, I guess their role is gone.

To be honest, this division of labor is quite clear and reasonable.

After all, the young couple didn't know much about the education industry, had no connections, were young, had too little entrepreneurial experience, and didn't have much experience in business, so they couldn't support such a large-scale project.

Fang Yun himself is the vice president of Siya Education. He has been in the education industry for half his life. He has experience, connections and management skills. He is the right one to start his own business and start this project.

As the founder of Chuangyi Fund, Shen Bowen is proficient in capital operations and has previous investment experience in cultural education. He is familiar with telling stories and attracting investments.

The power of a husband and wife is doubled, and coupled with their high reputation, the four of them are invincible and invincible.

The probability of success in starting a business is very high. Once the platform's software is launched and made public, the number of users will soon reach tens of millions in a short period of time thanks to Gao Yun's favorable reviews from the entire network.

At that time, venture capital investors will rush over, begging for Series A financing, and the valuation can easily exceed 10 billion yuan. With subsequent development step by step, it is really possible to achieve the ideal state mentioned in the plan.

The only problem is that this project bears the names of Gao Yun and Shen Qiongxiao, but they cannot participate in the management, which makes the former unhappy and uneasy.

When the video of art candidates was the most popular, many educational institutions approached Gao Yun to endorse or discuss cooperation, but he turned down the offer. Education is a very sensitive thing. Facing an unfamiliar industry that he had never understood before, Gao Yun did not hesitate. I don’t have the experience to cooperate, and I don’t want to put in the effort to understand it from scratch and explore management bit by bit.

He cannot participate in the management of advertisements or endorsements, let alone endorsements. If the agency goes astray and a scandal breaks out, he will inevitably lose as a spokesperson, and his public reputation will plummet. It is too risky to make this money.

But Shen Qiongxiao was obviously very interested. He put aside his exercise and kept chatting with Gao Yun in the rest area. It seemed that he quit his job at Lanlu Psychological Counseling Office. After the psychological counseling, he found his favorite job again. cause.

"I know what you are worried about. Although the company may be managed by my parents in the early stage, as you and I gradually become familiar with each other and learn, when they get older, it will definitely be the two of us who take over the company. This is inevitable."

"I am not doing this business to make money. I think this business belongs to the two of us. It is true that couples will face many difficulties when starting a business, but I believe that you and I have enough tacit understanding to distinguish between various emotions in work and life, and Reach an agreement in all aspects, train each other, respect each other, and make the common feelings and career perfect."

Shen Qiongxiao looked longingly, holding Gao Yun's hand and speaking softly.

Do you believe it? I don’t believe it!

Gao Yun nodded silently. He had already seen that Shen Qiongxiao, like himself, was a perfectionist when it came to relationships and had very strict requirements for his partner. Otherwise, he would not have been single and not in love even after being twenty-five years old.

My family is average, I have experienced severe beatings in reality, I have been in many relationships, my perfection level has weakened a bit, I am very sensible about my feelings, and I no longer pursue 100% perfection and the so-called absolute soul compatibility...

Shen Qiongxiao said: "Moreover, this will have great positive significance for society. Education has eternity. From the perspective of the history of the development of human society and the history of educational development, education emerged with the emergence of human society and has contributed to human society. Uniquely, education will exist from the first day it was created until the end of mankind.”

"Establishing such an interactive knowledge and education platform will provide guidance and education to students at all levels in our country and comprehensively improve their knowledge and cultural level. In the future, it will also target people from all walks of life to broaden people's horizons, enlighten wisdom, and contribute to the cause of education. ...I think this is worth a lifelong struggle for you and me."

What can Gao Yun say? Nothing to say!

Friends call him the King of Bikes, and they admire him privately. Fans call him a male god, and netizens say that he has noble moral character and inspirational behavior, and is deeply moved. The Communist Youth League awarded him the "May 4th Medal", saying that he has contributed to domestic education. This award.

In fact, everything is just a cloud. All Gao Yun's actions are self-interested. He has only done two charity works in total, a donation of 1 million to the welfare institution and a scholarship of 50 million.

The amount of the former is too small. Rather than showing kindness, it is better to say that I put on a show in front of the camera and just want to get a reputation.

The same goes for the latter. In addition to good reputation, his purpose is more utilitarian. He is purely for the honor of the May Fourth Medal and the money awarded by the system. He will not do anything less.

Gao Yun is so selfish, he has good intentions, but not much, and he doesn't want to fight for social progress or human development all his life. He just wants to work hard and become a great person, and occasionally be lazy and fish out, that's all... …

My girlfriend is not the case. She is already very rich after graduating from college. She also works as a psychiatrist and works hard to treat patients. When donating scholarship funds, she selflessly spends five million to do charity with her boyfriend. Now even more Are you willing to fight for your country’s education for the rest of your life?!

This is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste, and a person who is beneficial to the people. That is really awesome!

After a moment of silence, Gao Yun said: "As long as you are happy, I will fully support you. Is there any shortage of funds in the early stage? I still have several hundred million here, which can be used. Do you need official endorsement? I will contact the Communist Youth League and see. Can you cooperate with them?"

It won't work if we don't support it. The project must be implemented and it is worth fighting for a lifetime. Otherwise, Comrade Shen Qiuen will look down on him...

"Yeah!" Shen Qiongxiao nodded with a faint smile: "I knew you would support me. As for other things, let's talk about it in detail when we get home. I'm going to work out first."

When the two girls finished exercising and went to take a shower, Qiu Ting deliberately stayed half a step behind and asked secretly: "Brother Yun, are you going to do business with my sister and her family?"

The couple did not shy away from talking, and Qiu Ting heard everything clearly.

Seeing Gao Yun nod, Qiu Ting whispered again: "Actually, my parents also had business cooperation with Uncle Shen and Aunt Fang, which was quite pleasant. But the key is that you and my sister have only been in love for a few months. We're not even engaged yet, so we start a business together? Isn't it a bit hasty?"

Gao Yun said perfunctorily: "Children, don't worry about adults' matters."

"snort!"

Qiu Ting snorted hard, put her hands on her waist and straightened her chest: "I'm already 23, how much older are you than me?"

Well, 5 years old, your sister is 3 years older than you, no...she seems to be older than your sister?

Gao Yun's eyes moved slightly, he glanced at it, and calmly stretched out his hand to give her a headache: "Go take a shower, and I will tell your sister if you drive with me again!"

"Cut~"

Qiu Ting entered the bathroom muttering unwillingly, mumbling nonsense such as, 'It's normal for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law to drive', 'As long as the speed is slower, the car won't turn over', 'Proper driving is good for physical and mental health'.

…

At Shen Qiongxiao's home, Fang Yun and Shen Bowen were both in the living room, and Gao Yun came to the door again with a few bottles of red wine.

"Don't be so polite in the future."

Shen Bowen took the initiative to take the red wine, and everyone sat down in the living room. The former said straight to the point.

"Qiong Xiao resigned from Lan Lu. It doesn't matter if she quits. The job of a psychiatrist always comes into contact with some unhealthy people. It is not only tiring but also has a negative impact on herself. But she will definitely not be able to do it without a career. In the past few days, I have After discussing with your aunt, I feel that this online education industry is very promising. Not only can we take advantage of your current reputation on the Internet, we can also be of great help and assist you in starting your own business. So what? , we pointed out the general direction and asked the people below to write such a plan. They all felt that this project was very suitable for you to work together."

Shen Bowen sat relaxed and pushed a thick document on the coffee table: "The meal is not ready yet. Here is the plan. Take a look and let me know if you have any comments."

"OK."

"Xiaoyun, drink tea. This is the king of Lushan Yunwu tea. It tastes very good."

Before Gao Yun could open the document, Fang Yun personally poured a cup of tea and delivered it to him. He said with a smile: "The name of the company has not yet been decided. We are waiting for you to come up with it. But regarding the distribution of equity, your uncle and I have had a preliminary discussion. You guys can see if it's suitable. After all, this is your company. As parents, we don't own any shares. We just hope that your future will be more prosperous and your life will be more prosperous."

Shen Fang and his wife do not hold shares?

"Oh? Thank you, auntie."

Gao Yun was slightly surprised and looked attentively.

Fang Yundao: "Your uncle and I have this idea. In the early stage, we will take out 10% of the company's shares and let Chuangyi invest 400 million yuan in the seed round. The remaining 90% will be yours for 4%." Ten, Qiongxiao holds 30%, which adds up to 70%. It has absolute control of the company. The last 20% will be given to Siya Education. I have already had preliminary communication with the board of directors of Siya. , 20% is the lowest. After all, Siya needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to fill the platform’s educational content and online and offline tutoring services.”

"In the future, depending on the development of the company, we will provide 10 to 15% of the equity for financing, but before going public, we must ensure that the two of you combined hold 51% of the shares to ensure a greater Big decision-making power.”

Gao Yun nodded and didn't say much. He felt a little comforted. Judging from the equity distribution alone, it was actually very unreasonable.

Shen Bowen and Fang Yun contributed money and effort, but did not hold any shares. They only allowed their daughters to hold shares. This move undoubtedly confirmed that they were really thinking about their daughter's happiness, rather than seeking personal gain for themselves. But so Do it, which puts a lot of pressure on Gao Yun.

What if Teacher Shen and I can't get married and we have conflicts and break up? You won't eat me alive...

"In the seed round of financing, 10% of the equity is exchanged for 400 million yuan. I have been in the industry for so many years, and this is unheard of."

Shen Bowen put on the calm airs of his elders: "This is equivalent to your company not even being established yet, but one idea alone is already valued at 4 billion. This is due to the fame of you and Qiong Xiao, as well as the factors of me and your aunt. .I have talked with Zhang Yi, the chairman of Chuangyi and my partner. If we as parents are removed from this project, only the two of you can raise up to 200 million yuan with 10% of the equity. .I raised 100 million for joining, and your aunt raised another 100 million for joining."

"But we don't ask for equity, we just want to tell you that we are doing this for your happiness and your future. Xiaoyun, don't make random guesses and think that our elders want to make money from your fame. Frankly speaking, I Bowen is not very competent as a father and has done some things that are unworthy of the family, but he still behaves uprightly. If I take advantage of you, then it means that there is something wrong with his moral character!"

Gao Yun said quickly: "You are serious. I really didn't think about that. You helped me a lot in the establishment of the film and television company..."

"It doesn't matter if you want it or not."

Shen Bowen waved his hand casually: "Anyway, I have made it clear to you as a parent. No one can find fault with the distribution of equity interests in the company. You kid has taken advantage of it. From now on, you and Qiong Xiao will follow your aunt. Study hard in the company, and when you get on the right track, you can take over as soon as possible, get married early, and have two sons. This is our reward!"

"dad!"

Shen Qiongxiao frowned: "It's still early to get married. We've only been dating for four months."

Fang Yun interjected: "Your father and I got married after three months of dating. Even if you don't get married, please let Xiaoyun's parents and I meet as soon as possible to confirm the engagement date, so as not to be too busy to start a business in the future. "

"Let me take a look at the plan."

Gao Yun took the opportunity to interrupt, lowered his head and started reading, while Fang Yun occasionally explained to him.

Create the largest knowledge education interactive platform in China?

This project can be said to be very ambitious. Online education has become a trend in China's Internet development.

Last year, the epidemic accelerated the development of the online education industry, which developed rapidly. This year, it began to show a gradual decline trend. However, compared with the past, the number of users has still increased significantly.

It shows that online education is gradually being accepted and spread by people, and this market has great potential.

However, the competition is also fierce, because there are many similar platforms in the education field, and at the same time, there are many subdivided tracks, including primary and secondary education, children's education, foreign language learning, learning tools, campus management/campus applications, Vocational education, paid Q&A, exam-oriented education, learning community, interest education, educational information...

There are leaders in every track, and there are even unicorns with over 100 million active users and a valuation of over 10 billion US dollars.

Similar to the current project, there are many K12 online education platforms for elementary, middle and high school levels. (K12, the special term for education, kihrough twelfth grade, is the abbreviation of preschool education to high school education, and is now commonly used to refer to Refers to basic education.)

Among them, they are the largest and have the largest number of users, and the most famous are: Chaoxing Xuedutong, Tencent Classroom, Lizhi Micro Class, Yuanfudao, Homework Help, etc.

However, these platforms have many shortcomings. For example, they are only for online and not well integrated with offline; they are not highly interactive with users; they lack profit methods. They only charge for courses and netizens are not very enthusiastic about it, making it difficult to monetize; their knowledge is complex and complicated.

Not sophisticated, biased toward entertainment, not authoritative enough; mired in copyright disputes, lacking sustained profitability...

The above problems exist to a greater or lesser extent on every platform. Therefore, they have created a dilemma, a dilemma that makes it difficult to go public in industries such as paid knowledge.

In fact, at present, the popular knowledge payment industry is no longer there, and capital is also accelerating its flight. Data shows that there were 52 investment events in knowledge payment investment in 2017, 41 in 2018, and less than 20% in 2019.

10 investments, it is now difficult to see investors who have made great strides into the knowledge payment industry.

However, this does not mean that the entire industry has not developed. The main thing is to strive for creativity and see if you can develop a new business model in an industry that is already in trouble.

It also depends on the people and whether your team has the ability to execute and experience.

Investment is actually about people.

If you are a senior person in a company with a mature business and do the business you are good at, your chances of success are very high.
