After a quick dinner, the two got straight to the point.
After much deliberation over the past two days, Shi Jing finally decided that he had to take the initiative in the company, and now it was up to the other party to decide.
She reviewed Lin Ze's file and was very satisfied with him. Meeting him today only reinforced her belief that he was a valuable asset, and if possible, she would like to try and collaborate with him.
"Mr. Lin, what kind of cooperation are you referring to?"
Lin Ze took out a document from his briefcase and said with a smile, "I have some ideas about how to cooperate."
As he spoke, he handed over the document.
“If I were to be hired, my initial plan would be for two years. After two years, I would leave and start my own business.” As he spoke, Lin Ze laughed, “After all, I’m over thirty now, and I have to work hard for myself.”
Shi Jing nodded upon hearing this. Lin Ze had already revealed his desire to make a name for himself during their conversation.
"What if we partnered up?" Shi Jing asked. "As you know, my company isn't large enough right now; it's not much different from starting from scratch."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "To be honest, this is also why I have higher expectations for your company."
Then, Lin Ze talked about his current situation: "I originally planned to start my own company after returning to China, and I even had a team. But plans can't keep up with changes, and now this plan has to be shelved."
Lin Ze meant that after taking over the company, he would bring his entire team with him. Most people would worry about being sidelined, but for Shi Jing, this was perfect.
"That would be perfect, and it would put my mind at ease."
Hearing this, Lin Ze became even more satisfied.
“If it’s a partnership, I still have some funds on hand, and I can invest them all. We can discuss the shareholding further. However, I hope to have autonomy in the company’s management,” Lin Ze said, then added, “Of course, if Miss Shi has any ideas, we can discuss them as well.”
“Of course, after handing the company over to you, I won’t easily interfere with its management,” Shi Jing said. “However, there are some employees in the company now, and I hope you can make proper arrangements for them.”
"That's only natural."
Shi Jing nodded and said, "There's another point. Later on, I plan to invest in some cinemas and video platforms, which may require the assistance of the company's departments."
There are no suitable investment opportunities in the short term, but that may not be the case in the future. It's uncertain whether these future investments will be made through companies or private entities, so Jing didn't mention it.
Since Shi Jing doesn't have her own professional evaluation team, she'll inevitably have to rely on staff from the company. She definitely needs to discuss this beforehand to avoid any conflicts later.
Lin Ze accepted this point well.
Both parties are interested in cooperating, but the details of the cooperation still need to be discussed. Now that they have met, there is no need to hide anything, especially regarding finances, as this is related to the future distribution of shares.
Lin Ze does have some funds, though not a lot for Shi Jing. It would be enough for an ordinary company, but for an investment firm, it's always better to have more funds.
That is the advantage of the Time Mirror.
During this meeting, the two discussed the general situation. Apart from the specific share allocation, which still depends on their respective capital, they had discussed most of the other matters.
The cooperation is a done deal; once the specific share allocation is finalized, it can be signed and stamped.
When the matter was almost settled, it was already 9 p.m. Shi Jing saw that it was about time, so he said goodbye to Lin Ze and went home first.
The shareholding negotiations went smoothly, and the two came up with a specific distribution plan the next day, and soon signed a cooperation agreement.
It was already Thursday, and there was only one more day until the holiday. Shi Jing only had two classes on Friday morning, the second of which was physical education, so she simply asked her counselor for leave and planned to meet Lin Ze at the company in the afternoon.
Lin Ze naturally had no objections, and the matter was settled.
If it were a mature company, Shi Jing wouldn't necessarily need to show up; a meeting between management and a meal to introduce themselves would suffice. However, Shi Jing's company is currently barely functioning, still being managed by Zhang Sumu. After much consideration, Shi Jing felt it was best to go and visit him. Moreover, Lin Ze still has some personnel and staff, and although Shi Jing doesn't intend to get involved, he still needs to meet with him.
Besides, since she had agreed to cooperate with Lin Ze, she also had to thank Du Banxia for making the connection.
She went through all the events in her mind and contacted both Zhang Sumu and Du Banxia.
Du Banxia was a very busy person, even on weekends she still had a lot to do. Fortunately, she could still find some time at noon, so Shi Jing asked her to have lunch together on Saturday. Du Banxia then said she wanted to invite Lin Ze as well. Shi Jing wasn't sure if Lin Ze would be available, so Du Banxia smiled and said she would contact him herself. Shi Jing agreed and didn't think much of it.
There were no problems with Zhang Sumu's side either. After the company meeting tomorrow, Shi Jing planned to invite Lin Ze and Zhang Sumu to dinner. Although Zhang Sumu was only temporarily managing those people, since Lin Ze was taking over, there would inevitably be some things to hand over. The two of them meeting first would make the subsequent work easier to carry out.
Besides this matter, Zhang Sumu also brought news, which wasn't complicated: the charity foundation had received an invitation to a charity gala. This gala was somewhat similar to the charity auction that Shi Jing had attended a few years ago. The only difference was that back then Shi Jing was merely an invitee, while now she was one of the organizers.
Zhang Sumu had mentioned this to Shi Jing before; it was a targeted charitable assistance program for students who had dropped out of school due to poverty. Their charity foundation was invited to co-organize the program, and after careful consideration, Zhang Sumu felt it was feasible and that's when they finalized the decision.
As one of the organizers, Zhang Sumu, representing the charity foundation, directly donated ten million yuan in funds and ten million yuan worth of supplies.
In addition, there will inevitably be charity galas and auctions.
Since Shi Jing hadn't returned, Zhang Sumu naturally wouldn't have asked her to come back specifically for this matter. Now that he knew she was going back to Dingdu this week, he suggested she go along as well.
Putting everything else aside, it's also a great opportunity to expand your network.
The charity gala was scheduled for Saturday night, which conveniently avoided clashing with his dinner appointment with Du Banxia. Since he didn't have anything urgent to do that Saturday night, Shi Jing agreed for the time being.
After making all the necessary arrangements, Shi Jing temporarily put the matter aside.
Knowing he would be busy the next day, Shi Jing quickly packed up and rested.
