Return to the countryside to engage in industry

Chapter 465 Consult a Lawyer
In Yang Zhenyu’s impression, Luo Yonghao has hinted or stated more than once that he wants to promote the cooperation between the village store and ByteDance. Except that Luo Yonghao thinks that the village store is a product worth investing in from the perspective of an entrepreneur, he is still ByteDance Employees, before joining ByteDance, also packaged and sold Smartisan Technology, which was founded, to ByteDance.

Two factors made him contact Yang Zhenyu to express his willingness to invest in Bytedance after he learned that the talks between Yang Zhenyu and Tencent had collapsed.

Yang Zhenyu didn't respond directly before because ByteDance is not as mature as Ali and Tencent in the e-commerce business. If you choose to accept ByteDance's investment, you may cross the river by feeling the stones, which is more risky. Yang Zhenyu really wants to learn from the experience of big giants.

The advantage of ByteDance lies in traffic, but even with the super traffic of Douyin, it may not be able to build the platform.

But for ByteDance, its investment landscape has just begun to gradually expand. It needs to occupy a huge territory like Tencent and Ali to stabilize its foundation. Traffic-based products such as Douyin and Toutiao are far from enough.

On the one hand, ByteDance’s executives are digging for very potential technological products, and on the other hand, they are eager to create their own e-commerce platform. It can be seen from the already launched Douyin store, but it is already very mature and has a large number of customers. Compared with the base giants, there is indeed a long way to go.Although the Douyin platform has become one of the best delivery platforms for interest e-commerce, it still has to rely on supply chains such as Taobao, JD.com, Pinduoduo, and Vipshop.

The village entrance can stand out among many start-up companies and attract the attention of major capital parties, which is enough to see its market development potential. In addition, Luo Yonghao and Yang Zhenyu's personal relationship and his optimism for the village entrance have repeatedly expressed The Bytedance Strategic Investment Department mentioned this product.

Yang Zhenyu now only knows that ByteDance is interested in investing in the canteen at the entrance of the village, but he doesn’t know their attitude, but he definitely wants to go, but before going, in order to promote cooperation and fight for the power he wants, he decided to ask for advice Pang Shiming, the legal counsel of Pentium Agricultural Trade Co., Ltd.

Yushi Jiancheng Law Firm.

When Pang Shiming learned that Yang Zhenyu was coming, he temporarily put aside his work and handed over some minor cases to his apprentices.

Yang Zhenyu, led by the administrative staff, walked into Pang Shiming's office.

Pang Shiming warmly greeted him and said, "Mr. Yang, welcome."

Yang Zhenyu glanced at it, "Lawyer Pang's office is not bad, it's more grand than mine."

"After all, he is a senior partner of a law firm, so the director's intention is to be more respectable." Pang Shiming said with a smile, "But it is completely incomparable with Mr. Yang. We are all laborers, without the support of you, the financial masters. , even if we are full of knowledge, we have nowhere to display it, Mr. Yang, are you right?"

Pang Shiming is often in contact with the top management of major companies, and his speech is relatively high-level. A few words not only express his own professional ability, but also achieve the purpose of flattery.

Yang Zhenyu smiled slightly, moved to the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and sat down.

Pang Shiming poured tea to Yang Zhenyu: "Mr. Yang, please."

Yang Zhenyu looked up at the administrator who brought him here, Pang Shiming smiled at her and said, "Ah, Xiao Zhu, you go down first, I'll talk to Mr. Yang about something, call me if you have anything to do."

"Okay, Mr. Yang, Pang Lu, let's talk." With a smile on his face, Xiao Zhu turned around and walked out of the office, closing the door by the way.

Pang Shiming sat up straight and said, "Mr. Yang, is it for financing?"

Yang Zhenyu picked up his teacup and said, "Lawyer Pang understands everything?"

"As your company's legal adviser, these tasks must be done." Lawyer Pang asked directly, "Mr. Yang, if you have any specific requirements, you can put forward them, and I will help you with ideas."

After Yang Zhenyu finished his tea, he said truthfully, "I must hold the actual control of the small shop at the entrance of the village, and the operation right and equity must be separated. Do you understand what I mean?"

Pang Shiming nodded: "I understand, Mr. Yang, in fact, this matter is not difficult. Nowadays, many start-up companies will put forward similar requirements to yours when raising funds. Just wait for me!"

Pang Shiming got up and went to his desk, rummaged through the file cabinet at the back, took out some documents and walked over, handed them to Yang Zhenyu and said, "Mr. Yang, I have a few templates here, take a look. "

Yang Zhenyu took over, "The Articles of Association for the Protection of the Founder, the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Voting Entrustment Agreement, and the Agreement for Persons Acting in Concert..."

Turned over side by side.

He looked up at Pang Shiming.

Pang Shiming smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, as long as we can reach these agreements with your investors, we can basically meet your requirements."

Yang Zhenyu couldn't understand the specific content of these agreements, put down the template, and said directly, "Lawyer Pang, now, I invite you to join our negotiating team in the capital this time, and give our negotiating team suggestions."

Pang Shiming showed a troubled expression on his face, "Mr. Yang, to tell you the truth, I still have a few big cases to follow, and I may not be able to spare time..."

"Lawyer Pang, the salary can be discussed." Yang Zhenyu interrupted.

Pang Shiming said: "Mr. Yang, I have already received your company's salary. I should do these things, but I really can't get away. Otherwise, we will communicate through video, so that your team's negotiation The lawyer makes video calls with me every night to report on the progress of the negotiations, and I will do my best to help you solve the problem."

Yang Zhenyu guessed that the case that Pang Shiming was following now must be a case with a very large target, otherwise he would not risk offending the benefactor and refuse his request. After all, Pentium Farmer's Company only paid him more than 200 million yuan a year. , with his status and resources in the lawyer circle in Yu City, sometimes a single economic case may earn tens of millions, or even more.

Yang Zhenyu nodded, "That's the only way to go."

Pang Shiming smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, don't worry. Normally, if the investor is only out of investment to make money, they won't refuse the agreement to protect your rights."

"I hope so." Yang Zhenyu smiled.

"I wish you success in financing in advance." Pang Shiming got up and shook hands with Yang Zhenyu.

At this time, Xiao Zhu went to the door and knocked lightly on the glass door. Pang Shiming beckoned her to come in. Xiao Zhu pushed the door open, "Pang Lu, President Li from Longfor Group has arrived."

"Please come in!", Pang Shiming was all smiles, and he walked a few steps towards the door with inertia, but he didn't go far, then turned around and said to Yang Zhenyu, "Mr. You must try your best to do it, look at me..."

Yang Zhenyu smiled and waved: "It's okay, Lawyer Pang, you should do your work first."

It can be seen that this is a big client of Pang Shiming.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your understanding." Pang Shiming sent Yang Zhenyu to the elevator, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"En", Yang Zhenyu nodded back.
