Chapter 44: The Dust Settles
At this moment, there was a sudden silence in the conference room.
Ma Teng stood up and patted his back: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
"I'm sorry, I'll go too."
A few people hurried out.
Ma Teng sighed in the bathroom: "Hey, it's been too long to be out of the academic circle, and these cutting-edge things can't be understood when you listen to them." But looking at the expressions of those old professors, there should be no problem...... Xisha University has been cooperating with us for a long time, and the credit has always been good. ”
"Xiao Guo, what do you think of Zhang Yuan."
The assistant named Xiao Guo thought for a while and said seriously: "Mr. Ma, if you can recruit it, you must recruit it." I estimate that with him, the time process can be shortened by at least a third. It was originally 12 months of work, but it can be completed in 8 months......"
The bathroom door opened again, and Chairman Ding also walked in.
As soon as he came in, he said loudly: "Mr. Ma, in my private name, can I ask you for something?" ”
The circle is so big, although the two are rivals, they are also friends in private.
Ma Teng laughed, as if he knew what he was going to say: "No, don't accept it!" Even in the name of a private person, it is absolutely not accepted! ”
"Mr. Ding, do you really want to rob me of this person?"
Ding Peng also laughed: "Then let's carry the sedan chair together and raise the price to the moon together?" ”
"I'm not stupid. I think it can be ......."
When this group of people came back, Ma Teng's first words were: "Mr. Zhang, have you considered staying on Earth and joining our company?" ”
He raised two fingers and made a gesture, "I'll give you an annual salary of two million, and if the government punishes you, we'll take it!" ”
Faced with this act of digging into the wall in front of them, the faces of the two representatives of the Deep Space Foundation turned green, but they didn't know what to say.
Zhang Yuan immediately shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ma...... This is my wish to arrive since I was a child. ”
The two delegates breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ma Teng said meaningfully: "Two million is already a lot." Parachuting into a high-paying position, I still have to spend a lot of money on the boardroom...... Every penny in the company has a budget. ”
"You know, we've only known each other for two hours, and we know that your level is very good, so we put this price ......"
"But the level of knowledge does not mean the ability to work, I have met too many people who can only say that they can't do it...... If it really comes out in the future, the price is definitely not a problem! ’
Ding Peng laughed and said, "Boss Ma, you are also stingy." I pay three million an annual salary, and another one million comes from my private pocket! Stay here as long as you want. ”
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Thanks to the love, it's not actually a matter of money, even if it's 200 million." Mr. Ma, Mr. Ding, I think, standing in your position, you should be able to understand that life is not just for money, there are many things more important than money. ”
"I can also complete this project on a spaceship. There is a communication device inside the spacecraft, and it is not difficult to communicate remotely. ”
Ma Teng was stunned, nodded, showed that he could understand, and sat down quietly.
There was silence in the room for a while.
After a while, he said with appreciation: "I really envy you young people, abandon everything, abandon everything, and start over on a strange planet." Sometimes, I feel the urge to do that, too. ”
"A new civilization, a great idea. In our fantasies, like heaven, there are always endless possibilities. ”
“…… As a vested interest in the development of the earth's civilization, I often think that many things are not appropriate, but I don't know how to correct them. ”
In other words, I know that many things are wrong, and I am against this kind of correction, because it will affect my personal interests. It's probably the ass that decides the head......"
"I hope you, the new civilization, will be able to change for the better."
"Thank you, Mr. Ma." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"Look, he's not going to stay here!" Wang Lili was secretly discussing below.
Han Ziyue smiled and said, "I know." If he does stay, I'm too lazy to talk to him......"
"Don't you think he looked handsome when he just refused? That horse boss was stunned! Two hundred million won't work......"
Wang Lili was a little helpless, "Okay, I really don't understand you group of young women, and you don't feel comfortable with yourself." What kind of friends to make, I don't want to make friends with him at all. ”
……
In this way, the entire cooperation matter was discussed for a total of three days, and the intrigue of the equity distribution process and various terms made Zhang Yuan exhausted.
Even Professor Lu and Professor Lin, who are usually polite, need to get involved, saying that they can participate in part of the work.
After the incident, in a small restaurant, Zhang Yuan was inviting two girls to dinner.
"I finally know why those big companies are so rich, it's all the ones who don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle. They save money! Zhang Yuan couldn't help complaining.
The five major enterprises dragged back and forth, scratching to the end, and only invested 20 million, which is really shocking. They are ready to register a small company called "Genesis Technology Co., Ltd."
As one of the technology providers, Zhang Yuan owns 10% of the shares. Of course, if you want this 10% of the company's shares, you won't have an annual salary of two million.
"They have to save two million salaries, I'm really convinced."
That being said, he's in a pretty good mood. Although the donation is like a big dog, but those are the property left by the father, and now it is the money he earns, which is obviously different.
Han Ziyue said with a smile: "This round of investment is called 'seed round', and the project only has one concept, only idea but no specific product or service, also known as face investment...... That is, look at the face and give you money. ”
"They can invest 20 million, which is already a very big face for you and the academy! After all, there is nothing, can it be just a concept to let others invest billions? Impossible. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded, it was indeed so.
If you are optimistic, you will be optimistic, but whether you can actually produce results is still two different things.
Han Ziyue said: "Didn't they reserve the right to give priority to additional investment in the cooperation treaty? If there are really results, these large enterprises will definitely rush to invest money in, and the A, B, and C rounds will be able to grow rapidly into a large company. ”
"Well, I know that, too. Investing less now is just a kind of risk control. But they're really tricky. ”
Zhang Yuandao: "Moreover, the big company in the next few years will have nothing to do with me." ”
He doesn't care how the company will develop in the future, he is not on the earth, and he can't enjoy this sense of achievement.
The Foundation people also helped him win a considerable amount of money. According to the company's articles of association, Zhang Yuan's 10% stake is considered a fixed equity, and it will still be 10% if it is financed and expanded in the future, and it will not be diluted.
"If it weren't for a fixed share, I might as well donate my salary to the foundation."
This distribution method is actually very cheating, 10% of the fixed proportion of shares, without additional investment, can ensure their shareholding ratio, which is considered Zhang Yuan's big money. The premise is that this project can really get off the ground, otherwise it will only be a flash in the pan.
Afterwards, several chairmen also invited him and the professors to have a meal together, but Zhang Yuan politely refused, this kind of entertainment is okay, anyway, everyone can understand.
"Why don't I eat with you!"
"Why?"
Zhang Yuan said hesitantly: "Because it saves time." ”
"When I eat with them, I don't know how long I have to discuss it, and I have to compliment each other and annoy."
There was laughter and laughter for a while.
A matter of heart landed, Zhang Yuan was also very at ease, this should be the last major event before leaving.
Looking at the date, there was only one day left, and Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
That is, tomorrow, the last day I will be on earth.
That day is finally coming.
