卢浮宫的屁股(http://www.mitbbs.com/article_t0/LeisureTime/1427569.html)
看完了形形色色的屁股,不免要说说脑袋,巴黎的脑袋。
对我来说,巴黎的脑袋不是一个人,不是一群人,而是一只妖怪,小妖怪。
这小妖怪长了张猴脸,宽鼻孔,大耳朵,头上两只犄角,身后一对羽毛翅膀。它有着男
人的胳膊,肌肉毕现;他有孩子与魔鬼的表情,双手捧脸,吐着舌头,似笑未笑,饶有

它是吸血鬼,在巴黎圣母院北塔尖的房顶上狩猎。守城快二百年了,总是在夜最深,寂
寞最黑的时刻偷飞下楼。它一落地,就收起毛绒绒的大翅膀,在街角的水沟里把它们染
黑,黑得像巴黎绅士们的燕尾服。它戴上圆圆绅士帽,遮住它的犄角,跑到昼夜嬉闹的
拉丁区小酒馆里看著名的阻街女吉吉唱小调,跳小舞。它不会说话,可会喝酒。劲大的
绿苦艾酒一杯又一杯,竟也不醉。它矮小蜷曲的个子混在那帮嚷嚷弗洛伊德,说着“超
现实主义”新名词儿的文艺小青年里,跟他们一块儿瞎折腾。趁着那些人醉得东倒西歪
时,偷偷瞄上一个扑上去咬人家。咬也不狠咬,碰到点血沫子就成,足够它第二天晚上
再从教堂顶上溜走,继续花天酒地。
它住的这教堂,巴黎圣母院Notre Dame,比它的岁数大,大多了。它不知自己为什么要
守在教堂塔顶,它也想半夜溜进去瞧个究竟。可它不知该从哪个门进啊。这八九百年的
哥特天主教堂,三扇正门,每扇都有大小神明守护,门侧立着圣人先贤,三扇大门之上
还有28位以色列犹太君主。它一靠近腿儿都软了,只好哆哆嗦嗦地半飞半跳地滚到广场
上,歇回神来才能趁黎明到来前飞回房顶,变回石雕像。
石雕像就石雕像吧,它想,至少我不是唯一一个。它旁边有只傻乎乎的大老鹰,再往南
塔楼走,还有独犄角山羊胡的潘神,尖耳朵打哈欠的吐火龙,光溜溜却长了翅膀的狮子,
目光凶狠正吃葡萄的鹫。它唯一有点忌惮的是个吃人的魔鬼,双手抓着个细瘦瘦的男

My personal opinion is
1. Anti-dilution only works for founders who intend to stay and help growth.
if he plans to leave the company permanently, it will be extremely
difficult for him to implement any anti-dilution mechanism at this early
stage of the company. Who is going to invest in the company if there is one
person out there doing nothing but getting 25% of whatever the value the
company creates?
2. Unless he is an absolute necessity to the company, he will have little
leverage against other shareholders or subsequent investors. He is only
entitled to his share of the value of the company as of his departure and
any subsequent growth has nothing to do with him at all.
3. liquidation is not the object. It's a way to force the others to buy him
out if they want to continue the business.

"My personal opinion is

if he plans to leave the company permanently, it will be extremely
difficult for him to implement any anti-dilution mechanism at this early
stage of the company. Who is going to invest in the company if there is one
person out there doing nothing but getting 25% of whatever the value the
company creates?"
Then how on earth can an angel investor protect his/her rights? You are
talking about whether the company will be attractive to future investors,
which is more of a commercial point. I am talking about whether there is a
way to provide legal protection. And who said he needs to own 25%, with
stronger protection he can of course offer to reduce his ownership, which
basically is a trade-off he needs to decide. It really depends on the
dynamics and negotiation.
"2. Unless he is an absolute necessity to the company, he will have little
leverage against other shareholders or subsequent investors. He is only
entitled to his share of the value of the company as of his departure and
any subsequent growth has nothing to do with him at all."
Again, then how on earth an angel investor (or more generally, a passive
investor) is willing to invest if s/he knows s/he will have no leverage at
all in the future to protect his/her rights? The leverage can come from many
sources, technique, business or legal (for example, legal rights included
in the contracts). I am talking about whether he has leverage now and the
certificate of formation/incorporation seems to support he has. And a
shareholder will not be entitled to future growth of the company if he
ceases to work for that company? Really?
"3. liquidation is not the object. It's a way to force the others to buy
him
out if they want to continue the business."
So you are saying he does have leverage, although a legal one, right(and
then refer to your point 2)? Of course it is an option, but are you telling
me (1) this is a good option, and (2) you will raise this one as a
negotiation strategy when there are many other techniques to resolve the
issues amicablly? Don't you think this will anger other minority
shareholders (who he seems to be OK with) and put him in a bad position for
negotiation? And did he say he want to be bought out? It seems to me he
wants to retain some ownership and be entitled to the profit of future
growth of the business, although he does not want to work for that business
(essentially a passive shareholder).
To clarify, I am not saying he is technically an angel investor (i.e., he
did not put money in but instead offered his service), but his situation is
very similar and he definitely can negotiate to retain ownership and some
protections.

I think the basic difference between him and an angel investor is the
following:
An angel investor negotiates some sort of anti-dilution at the time of
making the investment, i.e. he paid for that right and his right is
protected by contract. In contrast, oldman is a current shareholder with a
substantial stake, but I don't think there is any formal agreement between
him and the company or other shareholders that his stake cannot be diluted.
To get that anti-dilution protection NOW, he has to pay for it in some way (
additional investment/continuing service).
However, my understanding of his position is that he wants to cash out his
ownership stake right now. Unless he is super rich, it's not very wise for
him to make substantial investment in just one start-up company.

following:
An angel investor negotiates some sort of anti-dilution at the time of
making the investment, i.e. he paid for that right and his right is
protected by contract. In contrast, oldman is a current shareholder with a
substantial stake, but I don't think there is any formal agreement between
him and the company or other shareholders that his stake cannot be diluted.
To get that anti-dilution protection NOW, he has to pay for it in some way (
additional investment/continuing service).
However, my understanding of his position is that he wants to cash out his
ownership stake right now. Unless he is super rich, it's not very wise for
him to make substantial investment in just one start-up company.

你把法律问题,商业问题和人情问题混在一起了。
法律上而言,你当然可以要求上board,但是如果你不准备参与很多具体的事情,人情
上而言,别人会觉得你不讲理,可能在同别人沟通时会产生负面影响吧。当然,有些人
反而觉得这是aggressive的表现。
法律上而言,board的人数不一定要奇数,但从商业角度考虑,偶数时容易出现
deadlock,不是一个好的做法。

First, appologize for my bad temper.
There are many ways to "pay" for such protection, not necessary cash or
continuing services. Reduction of his current ownership, giving up his
management rights (i.e., deciding not to be in the board) can be valid ways.
It seems from what he said that they are actually holding almost equal
amount of shares and I just fail to see how that dude can force him out so
easily. I mean, all the substantial changes to the company probably need his
consent (Disclaimer: I did not read all the paperworks and don't know in
which state the company was formed).
I agree it is a personal choice as to whether to cash out or stay in. But (i
) you already mentioned that the others may not be able/willing to pay him
in cash and (ii) he may have higher risk appetite.
