Chapter 160 Dreams are boundless and hearts are boundless
In the next two days, Bai Shuo's team launched a comprehensive and in-depth due diligence investigation on Wujiang Company. It was originally planned to carry out a week of work, but it was completed in more than a day, because there was indeed nothing to investigate about Wujiang Company. With Yu Jialiang
In other words, even if a new company is reorganized, it will not be much worse than Wujiang Company. It is said to be an investment, but the money invested may be the entire net assets of Wujiang Company in the future.
"Brother Shuo, do you really want to invest in this company?" In the hotel, Cao An awkwardly discussed the issue of investing in Wujiang with Bai Shuo.
Bai Shuo: "Why are we here if we don't invest?"
Cao An: "But there is nothing worth investing in this company at all. The money invested is simply given to others to burn."
Bai Shuo: "Nothing about technology is made with money. I have already said that I am not investing in Wujiang Company, but in Wang Lang."
Cao An thought for a while and then asked: "Brother Shuo, do you really think Wang Lang can build the drone you imagined?"
Bai Shuo smiled and said: "Except for him, maybe no one can do it."
While they were talking, Wang Lang and Yu Jialiang also walked into the room. Bai Shuo quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Lang and said, "How is it, Mr. Wang, do you have an answer?"
Wang Lang said with shame: "Mr. Bai is too polite. With the current situation of our company, I'm afraid I don't have much say. But why can't my two partners really join us?"
Bai Shuo understood what Wang Lang meant and stomped around the room and thought for a while. In his memory, he had never heard of any partners in Wujiang Company. Of course, maybe it was because he had no idea about the founding stage of Wujiang Company in his memory.
I don’t know much about it, but if that’s the case, then these irrelevant people must leave, because his joining is already a variable. If he changes some things, Bai Shuo is really afraid that his blind participation will ruin Wang Lang’s future life.
The direction of Wujiang Company will undergo important changes in the future. If it dies prematurely, it will be a huge loss to the Chinese science and technology community.
"Mr. Bai, let me treat you to a meal tonight, and call my two partners too. Can you meet me first?" Seeing Bai Shuo's hesitation, Wang Lang continued.
Bai Shuo glanced at Wang Lang. It seemed that whether he could invest in Wujiang or not, these two partners were the key. "Okay, it would be good to meet more friends. Let's meet first and then talk about it."
Seeing Bai Shuo agreeing, Wang Lang was very happy and hurried to arrange relevant matters.
In the evening, at a restaurant that was not high-end, but still quite unique, Bai Shuo only brought Cao An, Yu Jialiang and Anna to the appointment. Wang Lang and the three of them had been waiting in the restaurant early. When they saw Bai Shuo, the three of them immediately greeted Bai Shuo enthusiastically.
He stepped forward to greet him. While Wang Lang introduced his two partners, Bai Shuo looked at the two of them carefully. It should be said that these two partners were also business-oriented people. After some contact, Bai Shuo did not
Disgusted.
After some more pleasantries, Bai Shuo learned that both of them graduated from prestigious universities, and felt that they had a tenacity suitable for starting a business. After the two met Bai Shuo, although there was no shortage of compliments and flattery,
But there is still some stubbornness in their bones. It has to be said that if these two people have more opportunities in time, they are likely to become the most famous figures in the field of technological innovation.
During the dinner, Bai Shuo chatted with the two about the issue of drones again, but from their words, Bai Shuo found that his understanding was not at the same level as Wang Lang. Some of the concepts and ideas were not even related to drones at all.
The future development directions of humans and machines run in opposite directions.
Of course, for a new thing that has just started, it is normal to have some incorrect ideas. Even Wang Lang's ideas may not be completely correct. After all, they are not people like Bai Shuo who have really seen what the future will look like. But they
After constant exploration and accumulation of failures, these people still have a great chance of success. But Bai Shuo does not allow this. His biggest advantage currently is precise control of the future. All he needs to do is to make good use of this advantage.
, achieving leading positions in various fields. Therefore, although these two partners are not dead wood that cannot be carved, Bai Shuo will never let them stay in Wujiang Company to restrict Wang Lang's development and the progress of drone research and development.
After drinking for three rounds, one of the partners asked Bai Shuo about his investment intention in Wujiang Company. Bai Shuo was stunned for a moment, then gently put down his chopsticks and sighed. It seemed that there were some things that he had to face and make a decision.
.
"What? Doesn't Mr. Bai think highly of our Wujiang company?"
Bai Shuo: "No, I am very optimistic about Wujiang Company, or I am very optimistic about Mr. Wang."
Both partners felt that there was something in Bai Shuo's words. After carefully examining it again, one of them said carefully: "Yes, we also believe that Wujiang Company, under the leadership of Mr. Wang, will one day become a unicorn."
Enterprise. If Mr. Bai can give us some support at this time, then we will be more confident. Of course, Blue Ocean Capital will also receive considerable benefits."
Bai Shuo smiled slightly and shook his head: "I don't like to beat around the bush, so let's be honest. I am indeed somewhat interested in the future development of Wujiang Company, and I also have the intention to invest, but I hope you two can withdraw."
These words shocked the two partners, and Wang Lang was also embarrassed by Bai Shuo's quick words. Originally, Wang Lang wanted to use this meal to make Bai Shuo identify with his two partners, but he didn't expect that
But it ended up in this situation. Wang Lang even felt that the two partners would mistakenly think that he was not easy to talk, so he deliberately took this opportunity to let Bai Shuo be the villain. He didn't know how to explain it for a while.
While everyone still hadn't reacted, Bai Shuo continued: "Rather than saying that I want to invest in Wujiang Company, it's better to say that I plan to invest in Wang Lang, so it doesn't matter whether you two withdraw or not. After all, Wujiang Company is now
You know what it looks like and how much it's worth, and it might be easier to reorganize a larger company."
The two partners looked at Bai Shuo with anger and helplessness. After all, what Bai Shuo said was true.
"Mr. Bai, actually they..." Wang Lang was about to say something, but Bai Shuo immediately stopped Wang Lang. Then he said: "Actually, I have expressed this to Mr. Wang before, but Mr. Wang cares about the friendship between you.
, I don’t want you to leave. And tonight’s dinner is designed by Mr. Wang to get your approval. I understand what he means. However, although Mr. Wang is a professional, he is somewhat indecisive in corporate decision-making.
Let me be the evil one again."
Wang Lang glanced at the two partners guiltily and lowered his head.
At this time, Bai Shuo slowed down his tone and said to the two of them: "You shouldn't blame Mr. Wang. I am a bit straightforward, so don't mind. To be fair, I think you two are still very potential entrepreneurs, but you just don't
It is very suitable for the future development of Wujiang Company. Perhaps it is more practical to find a new path than to go on an unsuitable path."
The two partners looked at Bai Shuo again: "What do you mean, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Shuo: "If you quit, I am willing to give you a sum of money as compensation, or when you have new projects to start a business in the future, Blue Ocean Capital will also be happy to cooperate with you first, which will be beneficial to everyone."
At this time, Cao An said: "Yes, it's all cooperation. What does it matter on which project we cooperate on? After all, the drone project is now non-existent. In addition, finding a new project that you are better at may develop faster.
.”
The two thought for a while and finally decided to accept Bai Shuo's proposal and voluntarily withdraw from Wujiang Company. Wang Lang felt that he could not face his two friends and kept his head down. After the two partners made their decision, they patted Wang Lang on the shoulder.
Said: "The situation is already like this. Maybe Mr. Bai is right. Let's leave now. The rest is up to you."
Bai Shuo did not keep the two of them. After the two left, Wang Lang raised his head, looked at Bai Shuo with red eyes and murmured: "I didn't want this..."
Bai Shuo patted Wang Lang gently and said firmly: "It's not that you are reluctant to part with that little bit of equity. As the saying goes, there is no mutual agreement. Doing scientific research is not a matter of multiple people and multiple pairs of chopsticks. At present, your
These two partners have shown that they have different ideas from yours, and their presence will restrict you. My cooperation with you will only provide you with support when you need it, and will not interfere with your thinking.
and decision-making, the company will be left to you from now on. Before this small ship becomes a giant ship in the industry, it cannot withstand more storms. You must not be too kind to a woman..."
Bai Shuo's words made Wang Lang suddenly wake up. He knew that now was the time when he was fighting for his dreams. If he had too many worries, he would inevitably be burdened by the world.
At this time, Bai Shuo continued: "Those who quit can give them some compensation and try not to let your brotherhood be affected by career differences. When they start their own business again in the future, I will fulfill my promise and give them as much support as possible. I
This is all you can do, the rest is yours to choose..."
Wang Lang calmed down his emotions, looked at Bai Shuo resolutely, nodded heavily to agree with what Bai Shuo just said, and at the same time slowly extended his right hand to Bai Shuo.
Bai Shuo held Wang Lang's hand and said happily: "Boundless is not only a company or a product, but also the mind of an entrepreneur. As long as you open your mind, your dreams will have no boundaries."
One day later, news came from Shenzhen City that Blue Ocean Capital invested in a company called "Wujiang". Out of concern for Blue Ocean Capital, everyone also learned about Wujiang Company. But after some understanding, everyone was surprised.
Surprisingly, this company is completely a small and unpopular company, but Blue Ocean Capital actually invested 300 million in it. In addition to sending an administrative director to help the company rectify its internal affairs, it also did not interfere in the company's future operations. Everyone has questioned Blue Ocean Capital's
They even questioned that Blue Ocean Capital was participating in a children's play house game. However, everyone ignored that Blue Ocean Capital has one of the most important rights in Wujiang Company, which is to own all the research and development results and technology of Wujiang Company.
, the final right to dispose of patents. The reason why this clause is ignored by everyone is that Wujiang Company has no R&D results at all. However, it was only a few years later that everyone realized how powerful this clause would be.
At the same time, in another place in Shenzhen, in a tall and majestic building, a slightly elegant man wearing glasses was listening to the report of his subordinates. This man was none other than Brother Ma, the boss of Penguin Company, and this man
The content of the report was also about Blue Ocean Capital’s investment in Wujiang Company.
"I thought that after being rejected by me, Blue Ocean Capital would immediately invest in our competitors like they did after being rejected by Ali last time. Unexpectedly, they stayed in Shenzhen for four days just for this company called Wujiang."
Brother Ma said meaningfully, and then he changed the subject: "Oh, but do we have any competitors?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of confident laughter in the office.
After everyone calmed down, Brother Ma continued to ask: "Is this Wujiang company really as bad as you say?"
"At least that seems to be the case for now. There is nothing praiseworthy about this company. Even if you reorganize a company, it will be better than them." Penguin's subordinates replied respectfully.
Brother Ma lay back on the boss's chair and looked at the ceiling. After a long time, he sat up straight and said to all his subordinates: "I think this Blue Ocean Capital is not simple. Today, when the world's economy is in recession, they can actually stand out.
, they have taken the opportunity to integrate so many industries, and I feel that they still have a lot of stamina, and they should take bigger actions in the next step. I will pay more attention to every step they take in the future. And... this company is called
Borderless Company is no exception.”
After receiving the instructions, all the subordinates withdrew one after another at the signal of Brother Ma. At this time, Brother Ma slowly walked to the window of the office. This was a large floor-to-ceiling window. Every time he stood here, he looked down at the depths beneath his feet.
In the city, looking at the many corporate buildings that seemed to be bowing to me, I always felt like I was dominating the world. But at this moment, Xiao Ma was staring deeply at everything outside the window. When he saw a huge logo
, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
As a boss, he always gives people a sense of wisdom and confidence, but the current Penguin is not without enemies as he said. On the contrary, Penguin is currently facing a serious bottleneck, and has even been suppressed by some companies.
You can't breathe, and the companies that suppress you don't even regard yourself as an opponent. If you can't seize the opportunity to break through and get rid of the constraints, then Penguin Company may not be eaten up by others, but it will not escape the slow decline.
Ending. Therefore, Xiao Ma is not arrogant in his heart. On the contrary, he is eager for someone to push him and help him break through the bottleneck ahead. However, he has always been steady and will not blindly seek cooperation. When the other party does not show absolute
With his strength, he will never open his arms easily until he can show something that is enough to convince him.
"What exactly do you want to do next? You've backed down after being rejected by me once? If you want to cooperate with me, you don't just have to have money, you have to show more strength." Xiao Ma said to himself.
