Chapter 187 Thank you, Teacher Xu
With Liu Chengyu's 1 billion and Shang Feng's 1 billion, totaling 2 billion in start-up capital, Chen Jingyang soon sat confidently at the negotiating table between Zhushan Capital and AH.
He forcefully introduced an AB share structure, ensuring that his B shares had 10 times the voting power;
In addition, he demanded that he occupy three of the five seats on the board of directors, which means that even if his equity is diluted in the future, he will still have absolute control over the company.
He wasn't worried at all that Zhushan Capital and AH would reject his proposal, because if they did, it would mean they lost the opportunity to share a trillion-dollar market.
Ultimately, he concluded the negotiations perfectly by giving up 5% of his shares and raising $1 billion.
The supplies are in place; now it's time to recruit soldiers.
The saying goes, "A generous reward will surely attract brave men," and coupled with Chen Jingyang's personal reputation in the industry, the recruitment was quite successful.
However, there are always exceptions. Chen Jingyang soon encountered his first exception: he lost his appetite for dinner.
"What's wrong? You look so worried."
Chen Jingyang sighed, "We've run into a tough opponent; no matter how we try to persuade them, they won't come."
Zhang Pengfei was quite curious: "Who is it? Why didn't they come? Did they think the pay was bad?"
Mentioning this made Chen Jingyang furious: "You might not believe it, but I've never seen such a weirdo! His reason for refusing was that the company was too far away! Damn it, I checked, and the company is only 12 kilometers away from his home!"
This is the capital!
12 kilometers isn't exactly close, but it's not far either, is it?
Zhang Pengfei also found it unbelievable: "So unique? Is he that amazing? Is he indispensable?"
These words struck a nerve with Chen Jingyang. He put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Let's put it this way: luckily I was born a few years earlier, otherwise it's hard to say whether I would have been able to do this."
Zhang Pengfei was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth, his eyes wide open: "Who is it? So amazing!"
Chen Jingyang has always been very confident, and there are very few people in the entire computer industry who can catch his eye. He never expected that someone would receive such high praise from him, and even make him feel inferior!
Chen Jingyang handed over the phone: "Here, this is it."
Zhang Pengfei took it and stared at it, his mouth agape in disbelief: "Chen Fulai?!"
"Hmm." Chen Jingyang's heart skipped a beat: "Why does it sound like you know me?"
Zhang Pengfei smiled and said, "I guess you could say we know each other."
"Really?!" Chen Jingyang's eyes lit up. "Then do you have a way to get him to come work here? He can name his salary and everything!"
Zhang Pengfei thought for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try, but I'll need my mom's help."
Chen Jingyang was a little confused: "How can Auntie help?"
Zhang Pengfei handed the phone back: "To put it simply, Chen Fulai only listens to Xu Fei. My mother and Xu Fei's parents are neighbors, and their relationship is fairly good..."
"Wait!" Chen Jingyang was even more confused: "Who is Xu Fei?"
“Xu Fei…” Zhang Pengfei paused, unsure how to explain: “Anyway, he’s someone who can keep Chen Fulai in check; he’s a teacher.”
Chen Jingyang was still unsure: "Are you sure? Chen Fulai is so arrogant, acting like he doesn't care about anyone. I even had to go to his office for the interview. Are you sure there's anyone in this world who can control him?"
Zhang Pengfei smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he asked him, "Aren't you also arrogant? Is there anyone who can control you?"
Chen Jingyang blurted out, "Of course..." but stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence. The word "no" turned into "yes!"
Of course there is! The person sitting right in front of you can keep him in check!
Zhang Pengfei's lips curled slightly, his expression meaningful: "Xu Fei also manages Chen Fulai in the same way."
Chen Jingyang suddenly realized!
Although Dou Qiaoyun was not very educated, she was quite good at making friends. A few days later, Zhang Pengfei and Chen Jingyang successfully met Xu Fei in a coffee shop.
Xu Fei is in his thirties, very handsome, tall and elegant.
He was somewhat surprised to see Chen Jingyang standing next to Zhang Pengfei, clearly having "heard" of Chen Jingyang's name, given how "hot" Chen Jingyang had been recently.
Zhang Pengfei introduced with a smile: "Teacher Xu, this is Chen Jingyang, my wife."
A look of surprise flashed in Xu Fei's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and grasped Chen Jingyang's hand: "Nice to meet you."
The three of them sat down, and before they could even start a conversation, Xu Fei's phone rang.
He took it out and looked at it, hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Then, without hiding it from anyone, she answered the call and held it to her ear: "What's wrong?"
The room was quiet, and the three of them were sitting close together, so Chen Jingyang could hear the person on the other end of the phone as soon as they spoke.
"Where are you?" It was Chen Fulai's voice.
Xu Fei: "Outside."
"Address!" Quite arrogant.
Xu Fei smiled and exhaled a soft breath, saying gently, "I'll be back in a bit. Tonight I want to eat pear-baked pork. Go and buy some pears and pork."
"Okay, then hurry back, I'll cook quickly." Instantly transforming into a wagging little dog.
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
A million thoughts raced through Chen Jingyang's mind: Is Chen Fulai really this clingy?! How did Teacher Xu tame him? I must ask him for advice someday.
Xu Fei smiled apologetically: "Pengfei, just say what you have to say. I probably won't be able to stay for long."
If Chen Fulai hasn't returned by the time he finishes making the pear-baked pork, that child will definitely come over!
Zhang Pengfei had an expression that said, "I understand, I totally get it." He continued, "Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. Jingyang wanted to invite Fulai to work here, but he refused, saying it was too far from home."
Xu Fei frowned: "Is that so?"
Chen Jingyang chimed in, "That's exactly what he told me. He didn't say anything about the compensation, since the compensation here is far superior to other companies."
Xu Fei asked, "What is your company's address?"
Chen Jingyang couldn't help but sigh: "It's 12 kilometers from Wanliuyuan, but..."
He paused for a moment, then said after a two-second silence, "Actually, we are in contact with the Green Jade Hotel and plan to acquire them. Once successful, the Green Jade Building will become the company's office building, but it is estimated that we will not be able to move in for at least three years."
The Green Jade Building is only 3 kilometers away from Wanliuyuan.
The acquisition was still confidential, but Chen Jingyang hesitated for a long time before finally revealing it, which shows his sincerity.
Chen Jingyang added, "As long as Fu Lai is willing to come, I guarantee that his path to promotion will be smooth and unobstructed. I will not use any messy rules and regulations to restrict him. But he must sign a three-year contract. If he has other ideas after three years, I will not stop him."
Xu Fei understood: "Okay, I'll go back and talk to him about it."
That means you've agreed.
Zhang Pengfei and Chen Jingyang exchanged a glance, unable to hide their joy, and said in unison, "Thank you, Teacher Xu!"
