Two days later, Qian Xiaobao called Yang Xiaobei and told him that he was very interested in the joint venture, and then the two made an appointment to discuss it in person.
The two brothers ate and chatted.
"Xiaobei, I've done the math. Buying land, buying a house, hiring people... after all the complicated calculations, the startup capital is at least 200,000. How would you like to cooperate?"
"The shares will be calculated based on the capital investment, and the profits will be divided according to the shares after deducting all expenses. My husband and I both have things we enjoy doing. The company will be mainly managed by you. As long as it can ensure profitability, I will not interfere too much.
You've worked hard managing the company, so I'll give you 20% of my shares as a reward for your hard work. I'm now Deputy Director, and I believe I won't stop there. As long as I don't break the law, I'll be your strong assistant. I can't say anything else, but I won't let anyone maliciously try to hinder you. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.
"20%? That's a very good prospect. We can't tell now, but it could be an astronomical figure in the future."
Yang Xiaobei didn't even blink when he heard the astronomical figure. "You earned it with your own ability. Even if it's an astronomical figure, it's what you deserve."
Qian Xiaobao is not the kind of person who only cares about money and immediate benefits. "You said that we are mutually beneficial. There may be many places where I can use you in the future. I will just take 10% of your shares." Even if others are polite, I still have to know what is good for me.
"No, it's too little. There will be a lot of things to do after the company is established. I guess you will be very busy by then. I can't let you suffer any loss, so I'll give you 20%." Only when the benefits are enough will you be more motivated.
"Xiaobei, you are sensible, and I must be too. Let's stop arguing. Let's each take a step back and take 15%. Come on, we are brothers, let's have a drink." Qian Xiaobao raised his glass.
"Okay, 15%, cheers!" Yang Xiaobei raised his glass readily and clinked it with Qian Xiaobao's.
…
"Xiaobao, how much working capital can you provide? If it's not enough, I will make up for it. You can pay me back when you have enough money." Since Xiaobao is in charge of the company, I have to make sure that he has more shares than me and has absolute control over the company. Only in this way can he feel at ease, and so can I.
Otherwise, if the company you have worked so hard to build is facing the risk of being taken over by others at any time, who would still work hard for it?
"No, I haven't stopped working since I quit. I definitely don't have 200,000, but I can still come up with 100,000." I have 96,000 in liquid funds, and I've given a lot to my mother over the years. I can borrow some from her first to deal with the emergency. Even if I take a step back, I still have two shops and three houses. If I sell any one of them, wouldn't the money be enough?
"Okay, I'll also contribute 100,000, and then I'll give you 7.5% of the shares as hard work fee."
"Okay, happy cooperation."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
…
Then the two brothers started eating and drinking again. Perhaps because he had drunk too much, or perhaps out of concern for his brother, Qian Xiaobao asked, "Xiaobei, do you plan to put this share in your name? Or in your sister-in-law's name?"
Yang Xiaobei didn't hesitate at all, "Please register it under your sister-in-law's name."
Qian Xiaobao didn't speak immediately after hearing this. After a while, he said, "Xiaobei, how about we split the shares in half? You and your sister-in-law can each hold half in name only."
Yang Xiaobei smiled when he mentioned Jiang Shushu, as if his eyes were shining. "No need, just register it under your sister-in-law's name. I trust your sister-in-law."
"Xiaobei, the company is a long-term source of income, and I hope you will be more cautious. I cannot deny that my sister-in-law is a very good person, but people's hearts are fickle. You two have a good relationship now, but what about 10 or 20 years later? Who can guarantee this? You have to leave yourself a way out and some protection. We have been brothers for many years, and I am not here to sow discord between us. I just hope you can live a good life in the future." Even if the relationship really breaks down, as long as he has money in his hands, there is nothing to be afraid of.
When the relationship between a couple is good, they are as sweet as honey, but when the relationship breaks down, it is often the person next to them who stabs them the most.
No matter how good the words are, it means nothing. Only what is in your own hands is real and will not be passive.
Even if the relationship between husband and wife is really good, they cannot give all their wealth to each other. Leaving themselves with nothing is the greatest irresponsibility to themselves.
"Xiaobao, I understand your feelings, and thank you for considering me. I'm really happy to have a brother like you. But don't worry, I'm not stupid, and I have good eyesight. Your sister-in-law is worthy of my trust..."
"Xiaobei, love is love, but I hope you won't be too emotional. Even if you love your partner 80%, you should keep 20% for yourself. You can give more shares to your sister-in-law, but I still hope you can keep some in your name, at least 1/5."
"Haha... Actually, what you said today is what your sister-in-law told me. You should know that your sister-in-law likes to buy houses, land, and shops. But what you don't know is that almost half of the houses, land, and shops your sister-in-law bought are under my name. I am not completely penniless."
Qian Xiaobao knew that most of the money used by Jiang Shushu to buy houses, land, and shops was earned by Jiang Shushu.
Qian Xiaobao was stunned when he heard this. Qian Xiaobao didn't expect Jiang Shushu to be so willing to spend so much. Qian Xiaobao thought that the house, land and shop bought by Jiang Shushu were all under her own name.
Yang Xiaobei continued with a smile, "Your sister-in-law once told me that a couple's sense of security can't just be expressed verbally. I can't be penniless while she's wealthy. If that were the case, no matter how beautiful the words were, I wouldn't feel safe deep down. That's why your sister-in-law insisted on putting almost half of the house, land, and shop in my name.
Where is the family bankbook? What's the password? I know all of this. Your sister-in-law also tells me how much money she earns. Although my monthly salary is less than 100 yuan, I never lack money. Your sister-in-law has never told me how to spend my money. She is very supportive of my work.
Your sister-in-law has complete trust in me, and I can trust her just as much. I have no worries about putting these shares in her name. I not only trust your sister-in-law as a person, but I also trust my own judgment."
"Xiaobei, I'm sorry, I don't know my sister-in-law well enough. I was judging her by my own standards.
It's good to put the shares in my sister-in-law's name. She's worth it. You're lucky to have found such a good wife like her. Treat her well in the future. Missing out on such a good woman like her will be your biggest loss."
