Now that their positions have been reversed, and Fu Mingche needs to ask him for help, he can only twitch the corners of his mouth and give a slight smile.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you here for a while."

They found a nice restaurant and discussed business in a private room.

"I understand your expectations that you want me to help you through this difficult time, but you know very well that this technology is not something that ordinary people can do, and I don't want to do useless work. How much can you pay me?"

Xie Linchuan spoke frankly and directly, without uttering a single unnecessary word, and immediately brought up the issue of compensation with Fu Mingche.

Fu Mingche was already prepared for his question.

Xie Linchuan is currently a college student, but his technical skills are beyond what a typical college student could possess.

He must treat Xie Linchuan with greater care in order not to anger him and to get through this crisis.

He wants to achieve results.

His father has been asking about his progress these days.

Although he didn't say it out loud, he knew very well that his father had high hopes for the project he was currently working on.

He felt that his son had grown up, had broken free from his father's protection, and was ready to step into a wider world.

Fu Mingche desperately wanted to gain his father's approval.

After all, they are father and son.

The bond between father and son, especially the bond between men, is often something his mother doesn't understand.

He wasn't sexist, but sometimes he felt that his mother might never know what true happiness was.

She relied on a man and lived a good life, but did the couple really have any deep conversations? Did his father really respect his mother?

These are questions that even his mother probably doesn't want to answer.

Therefore, Fu Mingche couldn't feel much admiration for his mother; he only hoped to provide her with a good life.

If he were to seek spiritual affirmation, he would still prefer to receive it from his father.

His father values ​​his grades this time, so he must deliver a satisfactory result.

This is the fundamental reason why he set aside his pride and sought out Xie Linchuan.

What do you want?

"Tell me what you can give me first."

Neither of them revealed their cards immediately.

However, Fu Mingche couldn't hold back any longer.

He is the one who needs to bow his head.

If we don't back down now and anger Xie Linchuan, there will be no room for negotiation.

He told Xie Linchuan directly, "How about 10 million?"

10 million is not a small amount.

A young man who grows up in a poor area may never earn 10 million in his lifetime.

10 million is enough for him to live a very good life, including buying a nice house, living off the interest, and profiting from its appreciation.

The problems with this project could probably be solved in a month if Xie Linchuan just used his brain.

But he earned more money than most people could earn in a lifetime.

However, Xie Linchuan was no ordinary person; he was a genius.

How can you look at a genius with the same eyes you use to look at ordinary people?

Xie Linchuan simply shook his head: "Too little."

Fu Mingche's expression did not change in any particular way.

He knew that the number was indeed not much; 10 million was a very conservative price, and it was normal for Xie Linchuan to disagree.

He thought for a moment, then raised the stakes: "20 million."

Xie Linchuan remained silent.

"30 million."

Xie Linchuan remained silent.

"50 million."

Xie Linchuan maintained his expressionless face as always.

At this moment, even Qiao Fengran, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

50 million is really too much.

She knew her boyfriend didn't have much cash left.

He used all his savings to start this company.

However, Xie Linchuan didn't even blink an eye at the 50 million.

How much does he actually want?

"Greed will not end well. 50 million is not a small amount. Perhaps you can consider it."

Qiao Fengran knew that she might not have much influence over Xie Linchuan, but in order to help her boyfriend, she still wanted to give it a try.

There weren't that many misunderstandings between her and Xie Linchuan; perhaps he still had some feelings for her.

Unfortunately, all of this failed to soften Xie Linchuan's stance even slightly.

"You can't buy my skills at this price. If this is all you can offer, then I won't help you."

As he spoke, Xie Linchuan prepared to leave the private room, abandoning this collaboration.

"So what do you want? You have to state your conditions so I can consider them and know if we can continue to cooperate." Fu Mingche's expression was somewhat gloomy.

"I want 50% of your company's shares."

"Asking for a lion's share" is an understatement to describe Xie Linchuan's greed at this moment.

"Do you know how much value my company will have after it goes public, with 50% of the shares?"

"Your company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and you're still dreaming of going public. It's laughable. This is my bottom line. If you're not willing to give it to me, then go find someone else. Maybe they'll back down, but whether they can solve your problem is another matter. I can tell you, I'm the best person to do it."

After speaking, Xie Linchuan pushed open the door and walked out, leaving behind Fu Mingche with an unfriendly expression and Qiao Fengran with a livid face.

"Are you sure you want to cooperate with him? He's too greedy. What is he planning to do with so many shares?"

Fu Mingche never expected that he would encounter a problem on his research path, and that this problem would almost turn him from a 100% controlling shareholder into a mere shareholder.
