Chapter 59: The Failed Entrepreneur
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Graphite and Xingling returned to the software park together.
On the way here, Xing Ling used her quantum super brain to search and collect some relevant information about the other party, and sorted out a concise background information after analysis and screening.
When the car returned to the software park, Graphite used his short time consciousness to sink into the center of Naxing in the parking lot, and browsed the other party's information on the big screen in the center, and there was nothing on the data that needed his special attention. In other words, this process is actually not troublesome at all, and it is actually as simple as flashing a few pictures in the brain.
In doing similar things, he and Xingling have had relevant discussions and settings, and the information that has nothing to do with the event itself is basically handled by the principle of annihilation, and the relevant impact factor information is picked up according to the importance level of the event, and this principle will be applied to every similar event (big data search) in the future.
The meeting place is located in an office building south of the Software Park, which is numbered South District -05.
The office space to be subleased is exactly the second floor of the building, with a total area of 1,500 square meters and a floor area number 2A-E.
Not to mention, this software park not only has a good geographical location, but also the overall environment of the park is also very beautiful, and the greening of the entire park accounts for more than 50% of the overall area, which is designed and laid out with reference to the international advanced high-tech park; The overall style of each office building in the park is also very similar, which is pure and simple modern style.
Most of the people stationed here are IT start-ups, so more than 90% of the staff in the park are young people.
Graphite's parking is located in a green area opposite the South District -05 office building, and after getting out of the car, Graphite and Xingling walked through the soft asphalt road in front of the building to the lobby of the building.
The office building as a whole looks like a rectangular building block, with rules and squares. The exterior is a glass curtain wall, and metal and glass are combined: it gives people a transparent, modern and technological feeling.
Dressed in a small black suit, the Star Spirit followed Graphite, who found that the Star Spirit was usually quiet in the presence of outsiders, but when she was alone with herself, she occasionally showed her quiet, kind, and fresh and curious side to the world.
Ever since the incident (verbal or conscious) between the two of them in the morning, both have consciously guarded this line of defense: not to read each other's thoughts easily.
The effect of this soon became apparent, and the independent souls became fuller and more individual, especially Graphite, and he suddenly found that the star spirits in this situation suddenly became hazy and unpredictable, and it was as if a game of adventure had begun between the two of them.
Because, when cognition needs to be added to the wings of imagination, things will inevitably become more full-fledged and mysterious.
Although they no longer read each other's thoughts, they don't know if there are still some telepathy-like factors left, when they crossed the road and stepped up the stone steps, the star spirit and graphite glanced at each other, and then they couldn't help but chuckle together.
Both of them actually know each other too well, and it is self-evident that they know each other.
The man to be met was surnamed Zhang, and he was sitting on a brown faux leather sofa in the lobby.
Through the automatic sensing glass sliding door, as soon as he entered the lobby, Graphite saw a man surnamed Zhang sitting on the sofa at a glance. The lobby has a feeling of spaciousness, cleanliness and brightness, and he is the only one sitting on the sofa in the lobby except for the two young female staff at the lobby bar, so it stands out.
Although Graphite had a preliminary understanding of this person, when he saw the other party for the first time, he still felt a slight chuckle in his heart, this person looked at least ten years older than his actual age, and he didn't look like a young man in his early thirties at all, but more like a middle-aged man in his early forties.
Apparently when he went out, the other party had already cleaned himself up, and his beard was cleanly shaved. But graphite still saw at a glance that this person should be in a state of lack of sleep for a long time, and the whole person was sunk in the sofa like a frosted eggplant, and his eyes that were slightly sunken in were both dull and confused.
Graphite sighed secretly and strode towards the other party.
Half a step behind him, the Star Spirit held a beige Valentino handbag in his hand, holding his chest upright and swaying his dignified and bewitching waist in unison.
The leather shoes of the two stepped on the marble floor of the lobby, knocking out a rhythmic "da-da-da, da-da-da" sound.
In the bar, the two young female staff members heard the voice and looked over, as if they were photographed by the demeanor of the two, and they were stunned together for a moment, before they came together with rich expressions and snickered, but their eyes always kept turning to this side.
The man surnamed Zhang heard the footsteps, raised his head, and saw a pair of young men and women with outstanding demeanor walking towards him, he immediately straightened up, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, and looked at them inquiringly, but he didn't make a sound.
"Hello, it's Mr. Zhang, right?" Graphite picked up the pace.
"Well, yes." Mr. Zhang pulled out a reluctant smile and nodded in response.
"Hello, I'm the graphite who called you this morning." Graphite introduced himself and took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party.
Mr. Zhang hurriedly stood up and shook hands with graphite.
Graphite nodded, and introduced, "This is my partner, Star Spirit." Unconsciously, he couldn't ignore the existence of the star spirit. Before, whether unintentional or intentional, he always felt that the star spirit was like a ghost, a high-level intelligence, or a super being, so he didn't think of formally introducing her to ordinary people.
However, it seems that something is different now, and the change seems to be just a layer of window paper, and once pierced, everything is different.
"Oh, hello, hello." The man surnamed Zhang heard Graphite introduce the star spirit, and looked at the star spirit beside him twice, and there seemed to be more vitality in his tired eyes, and he said hello in a row.
Xing Ling nodded slightly, smiled lightly, and said, "Hello." ”
Graphite said politely on the side: "Hey, Mr. Zhang, didn't you wait for a long time, right?" ”
"No, I've just arrived, so oh, sit down, okay?" Mr. Zhang hurriedly gave in and politely invited the two to sit on the sofa.
Graphite said politely: "Mr. Zhang, why don't we go to the office now and talk while watching, how about it?" ”
"It's fine." Mr. Zhang nodded, and said, "Let's go directly to the stairs, it's on the second floor." ”
The three of them then walked up the wide hardcover staircase next to the lobby to the second floor.
The stairs came out, turned a corner, and a lever-type iron general locked a large glass sliding door, through the glass, you can clearly see: there are four big words on the back panel of the front desk "Haoyu software". On the other side of the hallway were the office areas of other companies, and Graphite just glanced at them and didn't pay much attention to them.
After Mr. Zhang opened the door, he invited the two of them to go in to see the office, and Graphite inadvertently caught a glimpse of the loneliness hidden in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: everyone only sees the glory of successful entrepreneurs after victory, but no one has ever paid attention to the sadness of countless entrepreneurs after failure.
The world will always be: win and lose!
Walking into this empty office space, it feels very quiet, but the lighting is very good, and the sunlight filtered by the glass shines into the room, which looks very soft. The transparent overall office area occupies the main place, judging from the number of tables and chairs, it used to be very lively here, but now it is empty, and some desks are still discarded with some papers, stationery, or some unnecessary sundries.
The entire office area slowly walked down, and Graphite had basically decided to rent it in his heart, and Mr. Zhang followed them to visit, and there was not too much to talk about along the way. I feel that he seems to be a little ambivalent, on the one hand, he hopes to sublet out as soon as possible to reduce the loss, and on the other hand, he is reluctant to let his hard work go to waste.
Seeing that the customer had seen almost it, Mr. Zhang finally gritted his teeth and took the initiative to mention: "Mr. Shi, what do you think?" ”
Graphite nodded slightly: "When will you pay the rent?" ”
Mr. Zhang immediately said: "We are paying until the end of the year, but there are still two years left in the lease, and the monthly rent is 58,000, which is paid quarterly." Property, water, electricity, and sanitation are counted separately. Also, if you have high-tech certification, the government should give you some subsidies or exemptions. ”
Graphite continued to nod: "The contract is there, right?" I'll see, and if there's no problem, I'll decide to rent it. ”
"Yes, yes," Mr. Zhang responded, while taking out a contract from his bag, handed it to Graphite, and said, "That's it, you see." ”
Graphite just skimmed it roughly, mainly paying attention to the amount and time of the lease, and then returned it to Mr. Zhang, saying, "Yes, I decided to rent it." ”
Mr. Zhang's face was happy, and he hesitated for a moment before he said: "Mr. Shi, our desks and chairs are actually still seventy percent new, you see, they will also be transferred to you together, is it okay?" ”
Graphite was a little embarrassed in his heart, pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I won't tell you, I will definitely decorate it all here, we have invested a relatively large amount, so we can't cause damage to the company's image because of saving this money, so this really can't help you, I hope you can understand." ”
"That's ......"
Mr. Zhang had a trace of disappointment on his face, but he did not continue to persuade Graphite, but asked casually: "What company are you?" What for? ”
Graphite groaned slightly, but still replied truthfully: "We are going to do post-film special effects, digital technology." At present, it is still in the process of industrial and commercial registration, and the name has not yet been decided. ”
As soon as he heard Graphite say that he would do post-film special effects, Mr. Zhang's face was obviously a little curious and surprised.
He nodded thoughtfully, with a look of admiration, and gossiped with curiosity: "Movie special effects? You have a good market prospect for this, but you have to be very good in terms of technology, right? The investment should not be small, right? ”
Graphite glanced at him, his heart moved slightly, and after a deep groan, he said seriously:
"Hmmm! I am optimistic that in the future of our domestic film market, there will be a lot of people who will grab this cake, but the really delicious pieces have been snatched away by the Americans, so my idea is to snatch this cake back from the Americans; As for the technology, I am very confident, otherwise, I would not have invested a lot of money in this, and the registered capital of our company is at least 100 million. ”
