"Mr. Hu, you're not kidding, are you? You really want me to join your company?"
Zhang Qing has always been a big fan of Hu Yuan, and he knows best how cautious and distrustful Hu Yuan has become since his downfall.
So when he heard Hu Yuan say that, he was so surprised that he couldn't believe it at all.
"What? You think my small company can't afford to support someone as important as you? Or are you reluctant to part with all the money you've worked so hard to earn, afraid that working with me will just be a waste of your hard-earned money?"
Although Hu Yuan said it in a joking tone, these were indeed all true.
Zhang Qing's net worth is now much higher than his, and his company is thriving and doing very well.
Given Hu Yuan's previous failure, it would be abnormal for Zhang Qing not to have these concerns.
"Mr. Hu, that's not what I meant. I know I can make more money by working with you, but I feel that you're offering too much profit. I can't afford it in the future."
Zhang Qing said with some concern.
Hu Yuan's offer was not simple; it required Zhang Qing to contribute 200 million yuan to the company's operations and transfer half of his company's projects to him.
The benefits he received included an annual salary of ten million yuan, the position of project manager, and a 10% share of the company's stock.
To be honest, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't agree to it.
After all, you're asking the CEO of a big company to work for your small company, invest a large amount of money in you, and provide half of the original company's projects.
This is a losing proposition no matter how you look at it.
I'm afraid only Zhang Qing is thinking that it's not a bad deal, but that he won't deserve so many profit dividends in the future.
In Zhang Qing's view, Hu Yuan would one day become a leading entrepreneur, and 10% of all his companies would be a considerable sum.
Yes, Hu Yuan did not limit Zhang Qing to shares in this one company, but promised him 10% of all his future companies.
This is also the biggest difference between Hu Yuan and before.
In the past, in order to control the discourse of certain people and protect more of his own profits, Hu Yuan would control other people's shares in a single company, and then turn around and open other companies to do bigger projects.
Of course, this is also one of the important reasons why when Hu Yuan was finally ambushed by Li Jie, many people took the opportunity to kick him while he was down, but no one came out to speak up for him.
Because nobody's a fool. When things got to that point, everyone knew they had been outmaneuvered by Hu Yuan.
But Zhang Qing is different now. When Hu Yuan was in his most difficult time, he was the one who stood up to help Hu Yuan.
It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but it's too difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.
Hu Yuan must not mistreat such a person.
Only by cultivating such talents can we ensure that when we encounter difficulties in the future, someone will step forward to help us shoulder some of the burden.
Even if there was nothing he could do at that time, at least he would feel a little better.
“You don’t need to feel this burden. You’ve already helped me a lot. If this cooperation goes through, it will be an even greater help to me. Based on that alone, you are qualified to fight alongside me.”
Hu Yuan remained wary of Zhang Qing, but trusted him more than ever.
Once bitten by a snake, twice shy – this is an undeniable fact. But it's unscientific to never dare to touch a well rope again.
"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance, Mr. Hu. I'll go prepare the contract immediately and make preparations according to the terms of the contract."
Zhang Qing felt relieved, finally free from the burden in her heart.
At that moment, he seemed to see what his future self would look like.
It's a very simple principle: if Hu Yuan develops to the point where he can wield immense influence in the global financial sector, he will inevitably become a prominent figure in the financial world.
While 10 percent may seem like a small number, it can become quite large if the base is large enough.
From Hu Yuan's perspective, Zhang Qing will be the person he trusts most in the future, and that will never change.
Zhang Qing acted swiftly; in less than a week, he had personally handed the contract to Hu Yuan, the 200 million yuan in funding had been secured, and even the projects from his original company had begun to be transferred over.
"Mr. Hu, I feel that you have always been able to stay ahead of others. Now what I want to know most is, what will you do next?"
Zhang Qing knew very well that the reason Hu Yuan had been so hesitant before was because he didn't have enough money.
Now he has brought 200 million yuan in funds. Although it is only a drop in the ocean compared to truly large projects, it is a huge sum of money for Hu Yuan's company now.
"The online gaming industry has just begun to take off, and I plan to invest all of my 200 million yuan in online games."
Hu Yuan made no attempt to hide anything or hesitate any longer, because he had been preparing for this project for a long time.
If we don't start now, we might miss the boat.
"With economic development, there are indeed more and more internet cafes, but now they only offer some simple games. Mr. Hu, do you have a clear goal, what type of online game do you want to make?"
Currently, the concept of online games is not widely known to the general public, but Zhang Qing, as an investor, has had some experience with it.
"I have a complete plan. The next step is to invest the money and find real IT talent."
Many games may not seem complicated, but the production process behind them is quite difficult.
Especially in this era when the IT industry is not developing.
There aren't that many games on the market, not because no one has caught the scent, nor because no one has the imagination, but mainly because it's difficult to find professional talent, and the cost is too high.
"This game is really interesting. If it were ever made, I'd probably get completely hooked on it."
After receiving the proposal, Zhang Qing studied it carefully and became more and more excited as she read on.
"Do you think such a large investment is worthwhile?"
Hu Yuan tentatively asked Zhang Qing.
“I still think this investment is too large, but I trust Mr. Hu’s judgment. You are much more perceptive than I am when it comes to the future development of the industry.”
Zhang Qing didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only flatter him, but he really wouldn't oppose Hu Yuan's decision.
"Alright, in that case, starting today, this will be the company's biggest project. You will personally oversee its implementation. The budget is 200 million. You can cut corners where possible, but you can't cut corners everywhere. The result I want is exactly what I planned."
After Hu Yuan finished speaking, he got up and left, just like a hands-off manager.
Of course, Hu Yuan isn't really going to wash his hands of things now.
On the contrary, he went to find talent himself.
