"You should have heard the analogy of dividing a cake. For a small cake, you cut more, or I cut more, but it's just a matter of eating one more bite or one less bite. For example, you and your cousin's screen printing factory
, you said that if you give me 10% of the dry shares, you can get a bonus of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in one year, which is great. I will argue with you about 10% or 15%, do you think it is interesting?" Gao Fan began to be good at tempting.
Of course it's interesting...
Chen Xingquan said silently in his heart.
Good guy, if one percent of the dividend is 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, half of it is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. Seven to 8,000 yuan is the salary income of a cadre in the county for more than ten years. Are you interested in asking me?
Thinking this in his heart, he had to follow Gao Fan's words and said: "Yeah, it doesn't mean anything. Gao Fan, you are a person who does big things, so you will definitely look down on this little money."
Gao Fan knew what Chen Xingquan was thinking, but he didn't try to expose it. He spoke like that just now, and he also intended to show off in front of Chen Xingquan. He went on to say: "If we change our thinking and make the cake bigger, for example, it turns out that
10 times that of the small cake. So, even if you only take 50%, it is much better than taking away all the original small cake, isn’t it?”
"That's for sure. Everyone knows this truth." Chen Xingquan said. He had heard this example told in the past and understood what Gao Fan was referring to.
Gao Fan said: "I just said that the antifouling coating formula and process I came up with are worth at least 1 million. To build a paint factory, a few hundred thousand is enough. As long as production starts, the profit will reach 1 million a year."
It's very easy.
"If I don't cooperate with you, if I change someone else and leave him only 20% of the shares, the annual dividend will be more than 200,000. His original investment is only a few hundred thousand, and if I change it to another person with an annual dividend of 200,000, do you think he will
Will you be willing?"
"But..." Chen Xingquan didn't know what to say.
At any other time, he could have said something to Gao Fan, saying, since you are so awesome, why don't you find someone else?
But now, he really doesn't dare to say that.
He is 70% to 80% sure that what Gao Fan said is true. If this is the case, if he pays out more than 100,000 yuan in exchange for 50% of the shares, he will actually still make a profit, even "making a lot of money".
p>
He just wanted to negotiate the price with Gao Fan to see if he could get more shares. But if Gao Fan was annoyed by this and went to find other people to cooperate, he would be blind.
Gao Fan said that he was a student and it was not convenient for him to go to Shuinan to find someone to cooperate with. But the problem was that there were people from Shuinan operating in Cangtang County. There was also more than one plastic products salesman from the Renqiao area. He was Chen Xingquan.
Do you really think you are indispensable?
"Gao Fan, that's not what I meant, I meant..." Chen Xingquan stammered, not knowing what reason to find.
Gao Fan said: "Old Chen, it is impossible to change my conditions. I just said that I only want 50% of the shares, which is actually a concession. The reason why I do this is because I have to be busy with the college entrance examination now.
In the fall, I should go to Beijing to attend university. I don’t have time to take care of such a company. Instead of wasting time bargaining with you, I would rather go to some bigger businesses and make more money.
"I'm proposing a 50-50 split now just because I regard this project as a small project. I hope you, Old Chen, can also have this mentality. A profit of several million a year is not worth my fuss, and it is also not worth yours.
Stop fussing.
"We can cooperate first and make this money. If in a few years, you feel that working with me is too much, we can break up peacefully, and we will still be friends by then. What do you think?"
Chen Xingquan was silent.
What Gao Fan described to him was a realm he had never imagined.
What Gao Fan showed him was a kind of confidence that he had never seen before.
This state of mind and this kind of self-confidence made Chen Xingquan feel a little ashamed of himself.
Chen Xingquan has been a person with strong self-esteem since he was a child, but poverty forced him to hide his self-esteem on various occasions, put on a humble face, and cater to various powerful people whose status was much higher than him.
p>
When he was a child, he used to sneak into the city with his father to sell vegetables. Faced with the city people who came to buy vegetables, his father and he did not dare to show any slightest indifference, because if they disagreed, they might fall out and destroy the market.
Managers will call them, take away their vegetables and scales, and may even drag them to squat in a dark room for a few days.
Later, the country allowed business, and his father opened the small plastic factory with him. Because he was young and had some education, the task of going out to sell fell on him. In the past few years, he has eaten a lot.
He was shut down, looked down upon many times, and was interrogated several times by Cora, the security guard of a certain unit. In fact, it was just because he failed to meet the strict requirements of the staff in the unit.
All this not only did not make Chen Xingquan feel inferior, but instead aroused his stronger self-esteem. He vowed countless times in his heart that he must do something good so that those who looked down on him and humiliated him would have to
Give him a high look.
Hard work pays off, and after a few years, he has really made a name for himself, at least he is rich. When facing the administrative section chief of a state-owned unit, he can also sneer inwardly, because he earns as much money in a month
, higher than the other person’s salary in a year.
You are better at reincarnation than me, but I am richer than you after all. What qualifications do you have to show off in front of me?
This is Chen Xingquan’s inner monologue hidden behind his gentle smile when facing customers.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a little panicked.
He suddenly felt that the abilities and achievements that he had always been proud of were just tricks in front of a real master. They were so shallow and ridiculous. A real master would never just look at his feet.
They can regard 100 million as a small goal.
Their journey is a sea of stars.
"What, do you think I'm bragging?" Gao Fan asked with a smile.
"How could it be?" Chen Xingquan smiled helplessly and said, "Gao Fan, I really believe you have special powers now. In the past, I always felt that I had traveled far and wide and had seen enough of the world. But compared with you
, I realized that I was just the toad at the bottom of the well, I didn’t understand anything.”
"Old Chen, you are being humble." Gao Fan said, "I can't blame you. It's because our times are changing too fast. One step ahead and one step behind can make a difference of half a century in concepts. We don't need to waste time on hesitation.
If you don’t decide, let’s get things done first, what do you think?”
"Okay!" Chen Xingquan finally made up his mind, "Gao Fan, a great person like you dares to give it a try. I'm just a farmer with a low life, so why don't I dare? I agreed to the 50% share you mentioned.
.Give me the recipe and I will try it first. If there is a market, I will borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest in it. At worst, I will lose everything and just start from scratch."
"Haha, Lao Chen, there is no need to be so tragic. Don't worry, once you start this business, it will be difficult to lose money."
