At 7:55 in the evening, Dong Qiangqiang came outside the university's lecture theater as scheduled.
Outside the classroom, where many people could still be seen in the afternoon, it was now hard to find anyone. Even the coffee shop in the lobby on the first floor had closed early. This is no wonder, after all, February and March are the traditional examination months for universities. Semester exams in German universities are usually not held immediately at the end of the semester, but will be taken after a period of time after the end of the main course (examination times for different majors in the same university are also different).
"Old Dong!" Just as Dong Qiangqiang looked around, he heard someone calling him in the corner, "Here."
He looked around and saw a dark figure waving to him in a corner, and he walked over casually.
"It's almost time, have you seen each other?" Dong Qiangqiang habitually raised his wrist to look at his watch, but found that his wrist was empty. It took him a second to realize that he had put the watch against Duanmu.
"He's already here," Duanmu casually handed him a cup of coffee, "To be precise, his assistant has been here."
"Assistant? What do you mean?" Dong Qiangqiang was confused. "Didn't he ask you if you were free in the evening? Didn't he talk to you in person?"
"He asked me if I had time in the evening not to discuss the company with me," Duanmu said, handing Dong Qiangqiang an A4 piece of paper, "but because he wanted his assistant to give me this."
"Then he just gave you a piece of paper this afternoon? Why bother specifying a time? What is this?" Dong Qiangqiang found a place with better light and sat down, quickly scanning the title on the paper, "Preliminary Investigation list?”
"I guess he is waiting for me to prepare the materials on the list before talking to me. I have already read it. Except for one item that I need to discuss with you, all the other items are fine." Duanmu paused and looked at Dong Qiangqiang. expression.
"Which item?" Dong Qiangqiang read ten lines at a time on the paper.
"Don't be nervous, it's nothing new." Duanmu said and sat down, taking a sip of coffee slowly. "You still remember what I said in the afternoon, right? The company invested in the development of intelligent analysis software."
"I remember, but didn't you just say that for the road show?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "What's the problem with the other party?"
"You hired someone to make that software." Duanmu stared at Dong Qiangqiang's eyes and said word by word, "The company didn't spend any money."
"So what? How does he know who paid for the software?" Dong Qiangqiang asked doubtfully, "I still don't understand what the problem is. Can you speak directly if you have anything to say?"
"I can tell investors that the software is made by the company, but this matter will not be guaranteed in the future because whoever told the truth will reveal the truth. Do you understand?" Duanmu looked at Dong Qiangqiang with a smile.
"I promise you I won't tell you anything if you don't tell me." Dong Qiangqiang promised, "You can trust me."
Duanmu smiled and patted his shoulder: "You don't understand what I mean. I don't want you to lie to others. Of course, I don't want to worry about this all the time. I want to solve this problem once and for all. In addition, if the copyright of the software is not It belongs to the company, and the company's customers require you to see the software copyright certificate before signing the contract. How can you ask the company to sell software in an honest way? So I am not telling you this just to deal with investment talents."
"You want me to transfer the software copyright to the company?" Dong Qiangqiang finally understood.
"Yes, I want you to authorize the copyright to the company." Duanmu got straight to the point without any hesitation, "This way we can do business in a smooth manner in the future."
"Does authorization mean selling to the company?" Dong Qiangqiang was also very direct.
"Old director, if the other party really decides to invest in us, they will definitely put forward a lot of requirements. But now we have nothing but the two of us, the software and a little money, not even a company, so I have to put forward the requirements that can be installed Everything is put into the company's assets. You may wonder why I don't spend money to develop or buy something similar. Of course I have money, but if I do this, it will not only waste our time and resources, but it is not necessarily better than Yours is better." Duanmu kept saying "we", as if he was playing the emotional card, "Time is money, we must race against time, do you understand?"
When Dong Qiangqiang originally found someone to make this software, he simply wanted to use it to pick stocks. He had no intention of directly selling it to make money. Duanmu's sudden proposal to buy the software copyright was indeed beyond his expectation.
"You just said that this is just a hypothesis, so what will you do if the other party finally decides not to invest in you? Will the company or you still decide to get this copyright?"
"Of course I will." Duanmu's tone was very firm, "I will also meet with other investors in the past few weeks. I believe that I will definitely find an investor who knows the goods."
"I really never thought about selling it before." Dong Qiangqiang murmured, "Are you sure you need to go to such trouble?"
As soon as Duanmu heard what Dong Qiangqiang said, he knew that he agreed to the deal, and continued: "It is definitely necessary. But I will say something ugly first. Although you transfer the copyright to the company, neither the company nor I will pay you. And you have to pay the company.”
"What?" Dong Qiangqiang doubted his own ears, "If I transfer the copyright to the company, I still have to pay for it myself?"
Duanmu's expression was as calm as water: "I have already considered it. If you transfer the software copyright to the company, it will count as your technical stake. If you pay some extra money as your registered capital, you will get 7.5% of the company's shares."
"What? You want me... to be a shareholder?" Dong Qiangqiang was really surprised by Duanmu's decision, "But before..."
"Yes, I wanted to invest alone before because I couldn't bear to share profits with anyone else. But after visiting many big fund companies in the United States, I realized that I should and must attract more like-minded people. If more people come in and work together to make this thing bigger, it will be very promising and profitable. The most important point is that instead of guarding a small cake that is 100% mine, it is better to find a way to make this small cake In this way, even if the big cake does not entirely belong to me, as long as the cake is big enough, a small piece of it may be much bigger than the previous small cake. So after careful consideration, regardless of whether there is external investment, I will sincerely I hope you can join the company and become one of its shareholders.”
His words reminded Dong Qiangqiang of the original disagreement between him and Lei Lanting. This shows that it is human nature not to share profits. It was only after he suffered a loss that he realized the importance of sharing profits and building a team. It seems that Duanmu has also experienced This realization comes from similar setbacks.
In addition, he also noticed that since returning from the United States, Duanmu began to exude a calculating and shrewd attitude of a businessman. This feeling could not be said to be good or bad, but Dong Qiangqiang was not used to it.
"Of course I am willing." Dong Qiangqiang smiled, "It's just that I don't have much money now, and..."
"You don't need to think about the registered capital. If you have no money and only have software, I can give you shares, just a little less. You first think about whether you are willing to work with me. This is more important." Duanmu threw the empty coffee cup to In the trash can, "Don't think about it for too long. It's best to give me an answer tomorrow."
"No need to think about it," Dong Qiangqiang stretched out his hand in good faith, "I am willing, Mr. Duanmu."
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang agreed so happily, Duanmu also smiled: "Once we shake hands, the copyright (of the software) will belong to the company in the future."
