Qu Jing told Shi Lei that the technicians in her company said that there was no problem providing technical support, but they encountered great obstacles to leaving Qu Jing's company and joining the newly established company.
Almost no one wants to change the battlefield.
"They have worked overtime to get the initial design plan for the power bank. The rest is to go to the manufacturer to customize it and make a small batch of test products for indicator testing. The technicians under my command have been with me for many years. When I started my business this time, they also firmly supported me and left the original company. After two years of establishment, they have put in a lot of effort. Everyone regards it as their own career. At this time, let them leave my company and join a new company with uncertain future. They are unwilling and I don't want to force it."
Shi Lei pursed his lips. This was what he didn't expect. He originally thought that it was all companies invested by Qu Jing. After four rounds of financing from angels to rounds, Qu Jing actually only had 30% or 40% of the shares in his hands, and the new company Qu Jing also had the opportunity to get about 30% of the shares. Shi Lei felt that there was no big difference for those technicians.
Moreover, the new company's project is a project that can be launched immediately and even see the prospect soon. To be honest, since there are still too few vehicles that use electricity as driving energy now, the charging pile project depends to a large extent on the administrative promotion of government departments, and financing is not even particularly smooth. There must be prospects, but it is not so easy to see in the short term.
In this case, Shi Lei felt that as long as Qu Jing spoke, those technicians would definitely be willing to pass the exam and get a salary in another place. This is another project with a brighter prospect, and they have no reason to refuse.
But the reality is right in front of him, and Shi Lei has to face it.
He thought for a while and asked, "Does everyone in your company have shares?"
"When I took them out to start a business, I had a way to join the stock market with them. I accounted for 70% and their technology investment accounted for 30%."
"This is a bit difficult." After all, the number of people in the core team will not be too large, and if you want to get better technology, you must have the core team members joining. Otherwise, what should you do if the power bank is updated? Who will the maintenance and follow-up of fast charging technology be handed over? And Shi Lei cannot give more technical shares, at best, only a few points. Even if the number of people coming here is a little smaller, it is actually far less than their shares in Qu Jing's company.
Unless Shi Lei is willing to accept the non-core team technical personnel from Qu Jing's company, and they have only joined recently. Even if they are given some technical stocks, the number will be very small. Perhaps Shi Lei's treatment will make them excited.
"Yes, and it's not just the members of the core team who are unwilling to leave. Even... let's say that, no one in the entire technical department is willing to leave. They all expressed their desire to stay."
Shi Lei nodded. He knew that his idea of ​​asking Qu Jing to take part of her directly from the company to the new company was dashed.
"What should I do if the design plan they came up with?"
"This is easy to deal with, because it is a third-party patent used and is a task I have assigned, so I only need to pay the patent fee to the third party after the new company is established and before taking out the product."
"The patent is not yours? That means, you can also find technicians who understand this patented technology from the market?"
"This should not be difficult. Currently, in the fast charging technology, there are many companies using this patent, and at least 50% of the practitioners have been exposed to this patent."
Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, this was easy to deal with.
But he still asked cautiously: "So Mr. Qu, what about your own thoughts?"
"I'm still the same thing as before. I'm not optimistic about it, but I won't lose much anyway. Now I can't provide technicians. I just provide a design plan. You can give it a try."
Shi Lei said: "In terms of mass production, can your company's factory cope with it?"
"This problem is not big. Compared with charging piles, the technical requirements of power banks are relatively low, and my factory and outsourcing factory have never been operated at full capacity. Shi Shao, to be honest, the company's situation is actually very subtle. Everyone knows that the prospects are very good, but it is difficult to make the production scale larger in the short term. Therefore, there will be no problems in production within two years."
Shi Lei was relieved and said, "Okay, please give me the design plan first. I will confirm the technician before contacting you."
“This is OK.”
After hanging up the phone, Qu Jing quickly passed the design plan to Shi Lei, and Shi Lei called Jane II.
"Sir, I heard you are going to invest in another new project? It's not that I'm shirking my responsibilities, but that I really don't have much energy to start a second project at the moment..."
Yao Er obviously misunderstood. He thought Shi Lei was looking for him to take care of new projects.
Shi Lei smiled and said, "You don't need to follow up on the new project for the time being, I can handle it myself. I am looking for you to help me recruit a group of technicians from the market. The requirement is that I must have enough familiarity with a certain fast charging patent. I have transferred the specific design plan to your email address. You can recruit a group of people based on the technology involved in that design plan."
This was not difficult for Jane II, so he agreed directly.
"Okay, I'll find someone to study the design plan and help you get the staff as soon as possible."
"So quickly."
Yao Er paused and asked: "Sir, to be honest, Qixuan is currently in good momentum. The A round of rushing to Bai has only received the same valuation as the Angel round. The industry is not optimistic about their prospects. Even AiTou Factory is not very optimistic about this project. AiTou has contacted me many times, all of whom I want to have the opportunity to follow up in our B round. They even said that there will never be any unpleasantness like Fu Jianhui, which is enough to show the level of the market and venture capital circle. You really don't need to be distracted anymore. It's better to take advantage of this project and make steady progress. After eating ZhuoTou, it's not too late to consider new investment."
Shi Lei smiled and said, "My current project is very much a coincidence with Qixuan's project, and it can be realized as a pre-stop station for Qixuan Bicycle. You will understand after reading the design plan, and you will tell me when the time comes."
Yao Er had to agree.
Shortly after hanging up the phone, Yao Er chased after him again. He smiled and said, "Sir, I am starting to admire you a little now."
"Don't do this, don't do this, blind personality cult is not allowed!" Shi Lei proudly pretended to be modest.
"Haha, this idea is good. Although I am not optimistic about the market prospects, it can indeed provide Qixuan Bicycle with an opportunity to intervene in the market in advance. Using this project to train Qixuan's soldiers, it has a good entry point. I will implement the technical personnel you need as soon as possible, a technical team of ten to fifteen people."
"good."
