Chapter 432 Which company?
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "Did Qin Ce tell you that?"
Xiao Lin smiled and said, "No, I just thought you seemed to have something to say. Is there something you want to say?"
Qiao Xing chuckled sheepishly, "It's nothing, I just heard you're making some kind of app, have you found a company to make it?"
"Oh, so that's what it is. This isn't my responsibility. I'll call and ask later."
Xiaoling took out her phone and made a call, "Hey Xiaohe, did you find a company to do that cosmetic surgery app you mentioned last time?"
"Oh, then come here for a moment."
Xiao Lin hung up the phone and said to Qiao Xing, "It's not finalized yet. You can talk to Xiao He when she arrives."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xiao."
"You're welcome. This app was proposed by Xiao He, and she's in charge of it. So whether you can secure it or not depends on you."
Actually, this was just a polite remark. She didn't want Qiao Xing to feel pressured. She had just called Xiao He over on the phone, and it was basically settled.
Even if she didn't say anything, just by personally calling Xiao He over, Xiao He would be able to guess her intentions.
Otherwise, if Qiao Xing really had to fight for it herself, she wouldn't have needed to call Xiao He over; at most, she could have just given Qiao Xing a contact number.
Qiao Xing rarely dealt with these business people, and Xiao Lin's impression of her was that she was always taciturn, aloof, and businesslike.
Therefore, Qiao Xing didn't doubt her words much.
Soon, the employee named Xiao He arrived at the conference room. She knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Xiao, did you want to see me?"
Xiao Lin nodded. "Come in."
After Xiao He came in, Xiao Lin said to Qiao Xing, "Miss Qiao, you two can talk about the details yourselves. Xiao Bai, come with me. I'll explain the branch store to you in detail."
Bai Yi stood up and followed Xiao Lin out.
Xiao He is Xiao Lin's assistant. After she came in, she looked Qiao Xing up and down, and based on the tone and attitude of Xiao Lin and Qiao Xing's conversation, she had already made a basic assessment of them.
She extended her hand to Qiao Xing, "Hello, Miss Qiao, I am Mr. Xiao's assistant, my surname is He, He Yu."
Qiao Xing stood up and shook hands with her. "Hello, Assistant He. You can just call me Qiao Xing."
He Yu nodded slightly and got straight to the point, "Mr. Xiao asked about that app on the phone earlier, I presume it's about that?"
"That's right. Our company is called Big Bad Wolf Technology Co., Ltd. Your software happens to be within our business scope, so we'd like to try to get your approval."
"Do you have any company materials with you? Or, product examples from your company would also be helpful."
Qiao Xing was somewhat embarrassed. She really couldn't present the company's materials. As for the products, Shen Boyan and his team outsourced everything, using other people's products. If they had to use outsourced products for the presentation, people would immediately know that this company had been around for a while.
Qiao Xing carefully considered his words and said, "We mainly make games, and we haven't made any application software like this before, so I didn't bring any. Assistant He, please tell me what the requirements are for your software."
She took out her phone and searched online for news about Shen Boyan's competitions, and actually found information about his competitions.
She showed the phone to He Yu, "This is our company boss. He won second place in a national programming competition. Although the company was established not long ago, its strength is beyond doubt."
He Yu took the phone and scrolled through it before handing it back to Qiao Xing. "It seems your company is full of young upstarts. How about this, give me a price quote."
She then gave Qiao Xing a hint, "Actually, I've already contacted several companies, and their quotes vary greatly. I've realized that this industry is very complex, so I'm still evaluating the capabilities of these companies and haven't made a decision yet."
What she meant was that if Qiao Xing gave her a realistic price, she could then push the project onto her.
Qiao Xing said, "Then you have to tell me what your requirements are. The more functions you need to do, the longer it will take, and the price will naturally be different."
He Yu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's just a medical aesthetics app. It's also available in app stores now, but those are just intermediary platforms that connect with many beauty salons and plastic surgery hospitals."
"The functions we need to perform are all similar. The difference between us and them is that we only operate under our own brand and do not connect with other companies or hospitals."
"Oh, I see. I understand now." Qiao Xing had seen promotions for similar apps before and was familiar with most of their functions.
She estimated that if the four of them worked together, it would take about half a month to complete the task. Qin Ce's estimate was correct; 200,000 was the most reasonable price.
But considering she would have to compete with other companies, she knew she couldn't get 200,000, so she tentatively suggested a number, "150,000, is that okay?"
"What about the construction period?"
"One month."
He Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. "That makes sense. I'll go ask President Xiao for his opinion first. Send me a copy of your company's information. If President Xiao has no objections, we'll sign the contract."
Qiao Xing was delighted. "Okay, no problem. Let's add each other's contact information first, so we can keep in touch later."
“Okay.” He Yu took out her phone and exchanged contact information with Qiao Xing.
He Yu didn't make a decision immediately because she wasn't clear about the relationship between Qiao Xing and President Xiao, so she wanted to ask Xiao Lin first.
However, since Xiao Lin had personally invited her to discuss the matter, the cooperation was practically a done deal, and she readily gave Qiao Xing her contact information.
The two chatted casually for a couple more minutes before Qiao Xing got up to say goodbye.
Bai Yi was still talking to Xiao Lin about the branch store when Qiao Xing sent her a message telling her that she was leaving first.
She took a taxi to Big Bad Wolf Company, opened the door, ran inside and found Tao Yang, "Tao Yang, please send me a copy of our company's information quickly."
Tao Yang looked at her with a puzzled expression. "What are you going to do?"
Qiao Xing said, "I just went to discuss a project, and they want to see the company's information."
Tao Yang said awkwardly, "You're not also working on an outsourced project, are you? Why would you need to look at any documents?"
Because their company's data is poor, no one is willing to sign contracts with them for slightly larger projects, so they can only take on these outsourced projects that have gone through who-knows-how-many hands.
"It's not outsourcing, it's a collaboration with a company. They're making a medical aesthetics app, and they're signing a contract directly with them."
Upon hearing this, Shen Boyan looked up from his computer and asked, "Which company?"
“Li Ya”.
"Wow!" Tao Yang exclaimed, "Really? Is it a direct contract with their company? The head office?"
"yes."
Tao Yang's expression became even more troubled. "No, if they've seen our company's information, will they still give us the project?"
Qiao Xing thought of He Yu's words and was a little unsure. "Why not give it a try? It's not like I'll lose anything."
