Chapter 223 Establishing Cooperation
The contract clearly spelled out the terms and conditions; she was the boss, the owner, at all times and in all aspects. The Song family could partake in the spoils, enjoying the fruits of victory, but only as pawns, subordinates assisting, and enjoying a smaller share according to the contract's agreed-upon proportions.
"Boss Xiao An, isn't this 7:3 ratio a bit low for us?"
Qi Xu said it directly.
"The 70:30 ratio is the most reasonable division I made based on market research. After all, in the business world, capital is the dominant force. There's no room for compromise on this point."
"If I were to hire a CEO, I would only have to pay an annual salary and not give up any shares. However, the risk would be greater and I would have to spend more energy."
"So, to save trouble, I think it's more appropriate to cooperate with you. After all, the character of Grandpa Song's family is very reliable."
Qi Xu's answer was both forceful and tactful. It made sense, expressing his uncompromising stance while also giving the other party enough face.
Song Chengyan held the contract, hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed.
"Boss Xiao An has so much trust in us, we should give it our all. Let's do as Boss Xiao An says. The equity will be divided 30% to 70%. You get 70% and the Song family gets 30%. I have no objection."
Qi Xu pointed to another additional contract statement.
"Due to my special status, it is inconvenient for me to come forward. Therefore, the subsidiary company is officially controlled by the Song family, who are the legal representatives. However, all the shares and profits of this company belong to the parent company."
"I'm the boss of the parent company. I'm the largest shareholder, and all major investment and development decisions must be finalized by me."
"Grandpa Song, do you agree with this?"
This was the crux of Song Yanxin's hesitation. This kind of shady operation was often a trick used by capital giants to avoid risks, but he didn't expect the little girl to be so clear-eyed about it.
In other words, the Song family had become her pawns, shouldering all the risks. However, of the fruits of her labor, she took seven, while the Song family only took three.
"Boss Xiao An, we from the Song Group came here with full sincerity, but I didn't expect you to be so wary of us."
Qi Xu chuckled. "Grandpa Song, business is business. Before any happy collaboration, it's always about being a villain first and then a gentleman."
"I dare to entrust my fortune of hundreds of billions to you all by myself. You, the Song family, are you afraid that a little girl like me will cheat you?"
This is the strength of this little girl. She can strangle everyone by the throat and promise huge profits, so that you have to work hard for her.
Song Yanxin asked everyone, "What do you think?"
Song Chen was the first to raise his hand. "I agree. Boss Xiao An is amazing. You'll definitely be right if you follow her."
Song Min followed suit, expressing his support. "Xiao Xu is my last disciple. Her character and vision are absolutely trustworthy."
Song Min expressed his opinion, and the other juniors, who were all Song Min's students, naturally followed suit and voted in favor.
"We listen to Uncle San."
Song Yanxin originally wanted them to give some suggestions so as to gain more rights and interests for the Song family, but he didn't expect that this group of stupid sons and grandsons would all turn against him.
"Third brother, you have taught a good apprentice."
Song Min pretended not to understand his cryptic words.
"That's right. If we didn't have a good disciple like me, would our Song family have such a good opportunity to return home so soon?"
"Dad, let's toast to Mr. Xiao An!"
In fact, from a businessman's perspective, Qi Xu's conditions are very reasonable and not harsh at all.
It was just that Mr. Song thought that she was a young girl and would be easier to control. So when the reality was so different from his expectations, he found it difficult to accept.
After being awakened by his son's words, he suddenly came to his senses.
This little girl looks soft and gentle, but she is actually very smart and decisive. If you are really greedy and make her unhappy and give up cooperation, it will be a loss.
"Hahaha, great! Cheers to Mr. Xiao An, and I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
"Okay! I also respect the Song family. Let's help each other and win together!"
After toasting and chatting happily, the contract was finalized. The cooperation between Qi Xu and the Song family officially kicked off.
A new company, Songan Group, has quietly emerged in the Central Plains.
With the large amount of human resources under the Song family, Qi Xu's industries in Nancheng were all handed over to these CEOs and the outstanding young talents brought by Song Min.
He just let go and became a leisurely shopkeeper, only caring about people and not things. He only controlled the overall situation and did not care about the details.
My mother taught me when I was little that to manage a company, one must be willing to delegate authority, be good at employing people, grasp the core, and control the lifeline. This is how one can achieve both efficiency and effectiveness.
Song Min did not teach her this, but she knew it well since she was a child.
After finishing his work outside, Qi Xu planned to return to the army to live. Even if Lin Youqian was not around, living in the new house they had decorated together was very sweet.
It had been a long time since she smelled the unique refreshing scent on him, and Qi Xu felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
Even though Ah Le and Ah Xing were right next door, she couldn't fall asleep. For some unknown reason, her insomnia had struck again.
"Lin Youqian, when will you come back? I miss you so much!"
Qi Xu sat alone in the room, talking to herself, holding the Type 77 rocket launcher that Lin Youqian had given her.
She went to the chief's office several times but didn't see Old Man Li. The secretary said that the chief had gone to Beijing for a meeting and that Pao Ye was on a mission at a secret base and couldn't contact the outside world.
In fact, Old Man Li was in the inner secret room, deliberately avoiding her because he was afraid that she would ask about Lin Youqian.
Qi Xu stayed at the military base for a week and contacted several people, including Lu Shixu, but they all said it involved military secrets and they couldn't contact them. Even a phone call wouldn't work.
Qi Xu had a dejected look on his face. He stayed at home listlessly sleeping every day and was too lazy to even eat.
The main thing is that the army’s communal meals are too bland and almost impossible to swallow.
Ah Le and Ah Xing's cooking skills were even worse than hers. They could only be described as eating raw meat and drinking blood. The fish and meat were still bloody and fishy when they were served to the table. The blood would still ooze out if you took a bite.
Forget it, I'd better buy some more bread and instant noodles, otherwise I will starve to death.
If he becomes thin due to hunger, both Yoga Lin and Ms. Wen will feel bad.
Just as Qi Xu was about to go home from the canteen carrying bags of snacks, he encountered two dogs blocking the road.
"Hey, this little girl also lives in the officer's apartment. Could she also be a family member of a high-ranking official?"
Aunt Cui from Jiang Ping's family, holding the arm of another plump family member of an officer, deliberately blocked Qi Xu's way and made sarcastic remarks.
"She's just an ordinary officer's family member, not a high-ranking military wife."
"Oh, some people are so shameless! Their husbands have been demoted, but they still shamelessly occupy the superior's apartment and refuse to move out. They don't even take a piss and look at themselves to see if they are qualified. They still think they are the colonel's wife!"
