At 7:55 pm, Dong Qiangqiang came outside the university's stairs classroom as promised.
In the afternoon, you can see many people outside the classroom. It is hard to find people. Even the cafe on the lobby on the first floor closed early. This is no wonder, after all, February and March are the traditional examination months for universities. Semester exams in German universities are usually not held immediately at the end of the semester, but will be taken at a time after the main class is over (the exam time for different majors in the same university is also different).
"Old Dong!" Just as Dong Qiangqiang looked around, he heard someone greeting him in the corner, "Here."
He looked in the sound and saw a dark figure wavering to him in a corner, and he walked over.
"It's almost time. Have you seen the other person?" Dong Qiangqiang raised his wrist habitually and wanted to look at the watch, but found that the wrist was empty. After a second, he realized that he had already pressed the watch to Duanmu.
"He has been here," Duanmu handed him a cup of coffee, "to be precise, his assistant has been here."
"Assistant? What does it mean?" Dong Qiangqiang was puzzled, "Didn't he ask if you have time tonight? Didn't he talk to you personally?"
"He asked me if I had time to talk to me about the company at night," Duanmu said, handing Dong Qiangqiang a piece of A4 paper, "but to ask his assistant to give me this."
"He gave you a huge piece of paper that afternoon? Why do you have to specify time for one more time? What is this?" Dong Qiangqiang found a better place to sit down, quickly glanced at the title on the paper, "Preliminary investigation list?"
"I guess he's going to wait until I prepare the materials on the list before talking to me. I've finished reading it. Except for one item to discuss with you, there is no problem with other items." Duanmu paused and stared at Dong Qiangqiang's expression.
"Which item?" Dong Qiangqiang read ten lines on the paper.
"Don't be nervous, it's not new." Duanmu said, and sat down, taking a sip of coffee slowly, "Do you still remember what you said in the afternoon? The company invested money to develop intelligent analysis software."
"Remember, but wasn't that said for the sake of roadshow?" Dong Qiangqiang asked back, "What's the problem with the other party?"
"You found someone to make the software." Duanmu stared at Dong Qiangqiang's eyes and said word by word, "The company didn't spend money."
"So what? How did he know who made the software for money?" Dong Qiangqiang said in confusion, "I still don't understand what the problem is. Can you tell me if you have something?"
"I can tell investors that the software is made by the company, but this matter will not be guaranteed in the future because anyone can expose the filling. Do you understand?" Duanmu looked at Dong Qiangqiang with a smile.
"I promise you that you won't say it," Dong Qiangqiang promised, "You can trust me."
Duanmu smiled and patted his shoulder: "You don't understand what I mean. I don't want you to lie. Of course, I don't want to worry about this all the time. I want to solve this problem at once. In addition, if the copyright of the software does not belong to the company, and the company's customers require that they first read the software copyright certificate before signing the contract, how can you let the company sell the software openly? So I'm not telling you this to deal with investors."
"What do you mean is to let me transfer the software copyright to the company?" Dong Qiangqiang finally understood.
"Yes, I want you to authorize the copyright to the company." Duanmu was straightforward and didn't feel embarrassed at all, "this way to do business in the future can be justified."
"Does authorization mean selling it to the company?" Dong Qiangqiang was also very direct.
"Old, if the other party really decides to invest in us, they will definitely make many requests. But now we have nothing but two people, the software and a little money, and there is no sign of the company, so I have to put everything that can be installed into the company's assets. You may wonder why I didn't spend money to develop or buy a similar one by myself. Of course I have money, but if I do this, it will waste our time and resources, and it may not be better than yours." Duanmu said "we" at once, as if playing the emotional card, "Time is money, we must race against time, do you understand?"
Dong Qiangqiang first asked someone to make this software just to use it for stock selection, but he never thought of selling it directly to make money and profit. Duanmu suddenly proposed to buy the copyright of the software, which was indeed beyond his expectations.
"You just said that this is just an assumption. What if the other party decides not to vote for you in the end? Will the company or will you still decide to ask for this copyright?"
"Of course I will." Duanmu's tone was very confident, "I have met other investors these weeks. I believe I will definitely find investors who can identify the goods."
"I really didn't think about selling it before." Dong Qiangqiang murmured, "Are you sure you need to be so troublesome?"
Duanmu knew that Dong Qiangqiang had agreed to the deal when he heard this, and continued: "It must be necessary. But I want to say ugly things ahead. Although you transfer the copyright to the company, neither the company nor I will pay you, and you have to pay the company."
"What?" Dong Qiangqiang simply doubted his ears, "I have to pay my own money by transferring the copyright to the company?"
Duanmu's expression was calm: "I have already considered it. Even if you transfer the copyright of the software to the company, if you invest in technology, you can get 7.5% of the company's shares if you pay."
"What? You asked me... to be a shareholder?" Dong Qiangqiang was really surprised by Duanmu's decision, "But you..."
"Yes, I wanted to do investment alone before, because I couldn't stand sharing profits with anyone else. But after visiting many large fund companies in the United States, I realized that I should also have to bring more like-minded people in to do this together, which will be very promising and prosperous. The most important thing is that instead of guarding a piece of small cake that belongs to me, it is better to find a way to make this piece of small cake into a big cake. In this way, even if the big cake does not belong entirely to me, as long as the cake is big enough, a small piece of it may be much larger than the previous small cake. So after careful consideration, regardless of whether there is external investment or not, I sincerely hope that you can join the company and become one of the shareholders of the company."
His words made Dong Qiangqiang think of the differences between him and Lei Lanting at that time. It can be seen that it is human nature not to share profits. He suffered a loss at that time and realized the importance of sharing profits and forming a team. It seems that Duanmu has experienced similar setbacks to have this feeling.
In addition, he also noticed that since he returned from the United States, Duanmu began to exude a businessman's shrewdness that a businessman loves to calculate. This feeling is not good or bad, but Dong Qiangqiang is not used to it.
"Of course I'm willing." Dong Qiangqiang smiled, "but I don't have much money now, and..."
"You don't have to consider the registered capital first. If you don't have money, only software, I can give you shares. Just think about whether you are willing to do things with me. This is more important." Duanmu threw the empty coffee cup into the trash bin, "Don't think too long, it's best to give me a reply tomorrow."
"No need to think about it," Dong Qiangqiang stretched out his hand with kindness, "I do, Mr. Duanmu."
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang agreed so happily, Duanmu also smiled: "Once we shake hands, the (software) copyright will belong to the company in the future."
