A Founder's Guide to Controlling a Company

This book is written by Chen Xiaoling, whose real name is Chen Xiaoling, and whose pseudonym is "Jin Yao". This is a practical guide to full-cycle control specifically tailored for founders. From understanding the underlying logic to implementing practical plans, it covers the five core dimensions of equity structure, corporate governance, protocol tools, scenario response, and risk avoidance. With the core goal of "not losing power in financing, not losing control of expansion, and not lacking in inheritance", the book dismantles 300 key nodes of control from start-up to listing, from domestic to cross-border, and combines 20 classic case reviews to provide directly implementable templates for equity design, system construction, and agreement drafting, helping founders avoid common pitfalls such as equity dispersion, capital traps, and team divisions, and use scientific strategies to firmly lock decision-making dominance, personnel appointment and removal rights, and financial control rights to achieve long-term stable development of the enterprise.
