The Bright Road to Making Money with 320
Da Luo has been gone for quite a long time this time; it's already the New Year. He only called once during that time, and it was in a hurry, leaving Li Wei feeling empty inside.
Li Lianhui and his classmates' company had long since moved into a new office location, very close to the school. Li Wei owned 55% of their Lianhaiwei shares, while the remaining seven or eight people each held different percentages.
It seems like Li Wei has a lot of influence, but in reality, she's the investor. She not only injected a large amount of capital into the company, including office space, but also assigned several experienced office staff. Basically, they're now a legitimate company.
The company is currently not generating any output. Although the team is very confident, they have to admit that they are currently being supported by Li Wei, and they feel that the shares held by Li Wei are actually too small.
Now that she was the largest shareholder and the controlling shareholder, Li Wei approached Wang Yaodong and Li Lianhui, the current heads of administration and technology. Li Wei couldn't help but laugh when she saw their names; with "Yao" and "Hui" in their names, it would be hard for this company not to be a hit.
Li Wei approached them and made only two requests. First, since assembling computers was profitable, they should recruit people to take charge of the business. With the development of technology, the days of making money from computer assembly were probably numbered, so they should seize the opportunity.
The second point is about software development, which Li Wei doesn't understand either. She only gave them a general overview of the operating system and input method she used in her later life, but of course, she only mentioned that it was her idea and didn't say anything else.
Wang Yaodong and Li Lianhui are quite knowledgeable about the current state of computers. They mainly deal with hardware repair and simple software development. What Li Wei mentioned is undoubtedly a huge challenge for them.
However, Li Wei also said that they don't need to worry about financial and material resources. They just need to focus on how to do things well. They can use any methods and requirements they have, but there must be a medium- to long-term development plan. They need to develop a division of labor and cooperation as soon as possible so that everyone has a specific goal.
The group spent the whole day studying it and finally reached a consensus.
Li Wei only offered some suggestions within her capabilities. However, Lian Haiwei's subsequent success was beyond her expectations. It attracted most of the technical talents in this field in the provincial capital, including those from the University of Science and Technology. Even two teachers from the University of Science and Technology came to work part-time soon after, and officially joined the company a year later.
Li Wei didn't devote much energy to Li Lianhui's company affairs. She basically only attended meetings once every ten days or so, and later, she only showed up once every two or three months. She was practically never seen.
For Li Wei, the amount of money invested was negligible.
Around Christmas time, the cooperation between Minglang, Minghua, and Mingyuan was basically finalized. The newly established company was called Mingda.
Li Wei broke out in a cold sweat. The future looks bright, haha.
Li Wei didn't go to the school's New Year's party. She went to attend the signing ceremony celebrating the official establishment of Mingda, a joint venture between three companies.
This is a significant achievement for the local government. Television stations and newspapers sent numerous reporters to cover the subsequent press conference.
Because of the significant implications of this matter, Shen Tao strongly urged Li Wei to participate, along with her cousin Chen Juan and Minglang's representative. It was not Liao Kaiwen, but rather a major shareholder and a truly powerful figure within the Liao family, which demonstrates the importance Minglang places on this matter.
According to Shen Tao in private, this is Minglang's first step into the mainland market, and they naturally want to make a good start, as there's a long road ahead.
The three companies' investment situation is basically clear: Minglang has the advantage, and Minghua and Mingyuan combined also exceed Minglang. Li Wei is the second largest shareholder, only 10 percentage points less than Minglang. Her cousin's Mingyuan has a percentage point less than Li Wei, so the ratio is basically 45:35:20.
This is where the difference in strength becomes apparent. Minglang, needless to say, injected all its real money into the new company. Li Wei's Minghua, even without considering Li Wei's huge personal savings, also had ample funds. Most importantly, because Minghua's hardware and software facilities were very advanced, the new company was basically built on Minghua's foundation. Inadvertently, after auditing, it was found that even the cleaning supplies in Minghua's company were counted as money invested in the new company.
Shen Tao was overjoyed. After the audit, Minghua saved a large sum of money. Li Wei wouldn't just take it back as her private savings. With a wave of her hand, she told Shen Tao to buy land. As long as the money wasn't enough, she could add more and choose the best plots to buy.
In addition, Chen Weiguo was selected to manage Minghua after the relocation. This guy and Shen Tao have made great progress in the past two years. He is familiar with the local situation and also has a connection with Da Luo, so he is also a reliable person.
As for Shen Tao, he was appointed as the general manager of the new company through a joint recommendation from all three parties. Minglang and Mingyuan will also appoint heads of powerful departments.
In particular, Minglang will send a finance and human resources director. As for his cousin, he managed to get a decent purchasing manager, a middle-aged woman who is said to be Chen Juan's classmate.
He frowned, but this person was impeccable in terms of knowledge and experience. Since Minglang's personnel had confirmed it, Shen Tao didn't say anything more. According to the agreement, Mingyuan would naturally send someone over. If not this person, someone else would.
Minglang's two supervisors were no pushovers either; they were shrewd and capable. If anything went wrong, the purchasing manager would probably have a hard time getting past them, so Shen Tao didn't say much.
Luo Er continued to work as Shen Tao's assistant, one of two assistants, the other being a woman.
Originally, my cousin Mingyuan had put in a lot of effort for this joint venture. She wanted to get her son Liu Shuo into various important positions, but unfortunately Liu Shuo refused.
Despite their mother-son relationship, there were conflicts. Chen Juan was a strong-willed woman who disapproved of many things and inevitably dominated her son. Therefore, Liu Shuo was determined to separate from his mother's business.
He had made a lot of money working for Shen Tao before, so this time he simply took a leave of absence without pay and started his own company, separating from his mother.
He even moved his home to a place near the company, living separately from his mother.
Although Chen Juan was furious, there was nothing she could do. As children grow up, they are no longer under their fathers' control. Signs of pregnancy had already appeared in the past two years, and because Ye Zi's belly had not shown any signs of pregnancy, there were indeed many conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Liu Shuo's father, Liu Songchang, supported his son moving out. Otherwise, the house would be in such a mess every day. They didn't lack houses, and moving out would save him and his son from being caught in the middle.
Every family has its own problems, and my aunt's family is no exception.
Since Da Luo hadn't returned during the winter break, Li Wei was too lazy to go back. She decided to wait until the Lunar New Year, or even after the 20th of the twelfth lunar month.
It was freezing outside, and she was too lazy to bother. Staying at home was fine; the children went to kindergarten every day and rested at home on weekends, which she could manage. But if they were making a fuss around her every day, Li Wei would get a headache just thinking about it.
So life went on as usual, the only hiccup was that Liao Kaiwen was going back to China. As the foreign representative, he would only come over for shareholder meetings or major decisions, probably once a month on average.
Before he left, Li Wei and Shen Tao gave him a farewell dinner at Li Wei's house.
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. After dinner, Shen Tao went home first because he had to go to work the next day due to the distance. Li Wei and Liao Kaiwen sat in the living room drinking tea, while the three little ones ran around playing hide-and-seek.
Liao Kaiwen took a sip of tea. The last time Da Luo came back, he happened to be out of town and missed meeting him, which was a bit of a pity. But he really had some complaints about Da Luo's long-term business trips: "VV, when you want to find another man, please consider me first."
Li Wei paused for a moment, then laughed: "Kevin, I still advise you to find a wife and settle down as soon as possible. My husband and I probably won't be able to separate for the rest of our lives. He won't be going on business trips like this all the time. I guess this is really the last time. He promised me." Although she knew that he was joking, Li Wei didn't want to get into any unnecessary emotional entanglements.
Liao Kaiwen shook his head: "You don't understand men at all. When a man is fascinated by something, it's best not to let him make any other promises, because the chances of them coming true are very small, and you'll only end up feeling bad. Just wait and see."
Li Wei thought about it and felt it was unlikely. That guy had done plenty of dangerous things over the years, so why would he be addicted? He wasn't some little kid who had just gotten a new toy. So she was somewhat dismissive: "It's just work. I've never seen anyone so passionate about their work that they neglect their family. Don't try to scare me or sow discord. Just wait and see. Next time you come, I'll make sure you see all five of us together, so you won't try to persuade me to abandon my husband and children and elope with you. But, speaking of which, I've already eloped once in my life, so forget it. It's not fun at all."
Liao Kaiwen laughed, "Yeah, not bad, commendable courage. Some things, you get used to doing them as you go along. It's like eloping, you get used to it as you go along. Actually, it's not difficult at all, you don't even need to bring luggage. By the way, did you bring any luggage back then? You didn't really elope, did you?" Liao Kaiwen expressed his doubts about this.
Although the past was painful to recall, Li Wei was in a fairly good mood. She thought for a moment and said, "I didn't bring anything else, just all my savings, oh, and my three unborn children and my younger brother O_O haha~"
Liao Kaiwen couldn't help but laugh: "You call this an elopement? The entourage is huge. Don't tell me your husband drove the car and you brought snacks." Liao Kaiwen now had a basic understanding of the local situation. In mainland China, car owners are considered wealthy, unlike in other countries.
Li Wei nodded vigorously: "Smart! How can we elope without a car? That's called running away, so tiring. The snacks were prepared by my brother and husband; there aren't many, just enough for three to five days O_O haha~"
Liao Kaiwen -_-
