"Dr. Du, don't worry. Since I am an angel investor, I will definitely not interfere with your management and operation of the company. I can even be a pure financial investor."
Xue Ningmei repeatedly lowered her profile and made promises, which made Du Qiu a little grateful, but he understood the future value of his company.
It is absolutely impossible for him to give up 30% of his shares at this time.
Du Qiu feels that if nothing unexpected happens, his company will become the most profitable company in the world in the future.
Of course, Du Qiu can continue to dilute Xue Ningmei's shares through capital means, but after all, they are original shares. In the future development process, God knows what will happen?
This matter must be carefully considered and cannot be agreed hastily.
After thinking about it, Du Qiu said: "Dr. Xue, thank you very much for your interest in me. However, I have just started and the company has not been registered yet. I think Director Xue does not need to rush to invest.
If I am really short of money, I will definitely come to see Director Xue as soon as possible. It’s just that Director Xue doesn’t turn me away at that time.”
Xue Ningmei smiled sweetly and said: "I remember what you said, Dr. Du, if your company is short of money and you don't come to me, I won't spare you."
Du Qiu was relieved when he heard that Xue Ningmei did not continue to bother about the investment.
In any case, from the moment he met Xue Ningmei, he was treated well. The successful development of the software was actually due to her support.
In fact, if Xue Ningmei had not asked for 30% of the equity, perhaps Du Qiu would have agreed.
After all, it is common for many technology entrepreneurs to get angel investment now. There is no need to regard capital as a scourge.
"Don't worry, Director Xue, as long as our company introduces external investors, you will definitely have priority." Du Qiu simply made a promise.
Xue Ningmei nodded and said: "Okay, although I can't invest in your company for the time being, I want to buy your software products. You won't say you won't sell them, right?"
Xue Ningmei's joke made everyone laugh.
"Director Xue dares to place an order without seeing the effect of the software. Of course I dare to sell it. However, I haven't established a company yet. I don't know how to sign a contract with your company?"
Of course Du Qiu would not take Xue Ningmei's words as a joke and laughed it off.
Today he came to Tianqi Company to do sales. The software was released yesterday. As long as the supporting hardware is completed, the entire system can be officially sold.
Xue Ningmei thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. Tianqi Company will first sign an outsourcing contract with you personally and outsource the software control system of the mid-to-high-end CNC center shipped every month to you."
Du Qiu immediately thanked him and said, "Dr. Xue, you are really a help in times of need."
"Just remember this favor."
Xue Ningmei looked at Wei Jianshe who was standing aside, "Mr. Wei, please arrange for someone to draft an outsourcing contract and we will sign it with Dr. Du later."
When Du Qiu saw that Wei Jianshe had agreed to leave, he was deeply grateful to Xue Ningmei for not being sloppy at all.
In my heart, I was a little shaken by my mentor's original evaluation of Xue Ningmei.
Xue Ningmei later chatted with Du Qiu about their daily life. After learning that Zhang Mingliu was Du Qiu's ex-girlfriend, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.
By the time Du Qiu and Wei Jianshe signed the contract and left, Xue Ningmei and Zhang Mingliu were already sisters of the opposite sex.
Office of the Chairman of Tianqi Company.
"Chairman, Du Qiu's company has not yet been established. Isn't it too early for you to outsource the control software of the mid-to-high-end equipment that is shipped every month to him?"
Wei Jianshe made tea for Xue Ningmei and placed it on the table. He looked at Xue Ningmei, who had her eyes closed to rest, and asked cautiously.
Xue Ningmei opened her eyes, glanced at Wei Jianshe sideways, and said, "Jianshe, you have been at Tianqi for nearly a year, and you have made progress in all aspects.
However, since you are in management, you must learn to look at people and employ them. You cannot just welcome and send people off, so that I can let you go alone."
A hint of joy flashed in Wei Jianshe's eyes, and his face became more respectful, "What the chairman taught me is that I must work hard to learn and improve myself."
Xue Ningmei picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Did you know? When Academician Ding brought a few students to Huading, the only one who could really help him was Du Qiu.
The most important thing is that Academician Ding praised Du Qiu more than once in front of me. In my impression, Academician Ding rarely praises others like this.
Since then, Du Qiu has attracted my attention. I collected relevant information about him and found that he had published important papers when he was a master's degree student.
Later, I discovered that he was actually studying the software and hardware of all Huading CNC machine tools, and then I realized that he was actually developing a CNC control system on his own."
Wei Jianshe was stunned and asked: "So all the software he mentioned was developed by himself? This is really incredible."
"Yes, this is definitely a perseverant talent. Later, his doctoral thesis on machine perception was selected into an authoritative journal.
Huading is engaged in automated machine tool equipment, and its research results are very important to us.
It's a pity that he refused to join Huading and instead went into autonomous driving, and now he wants to start his own business.
Therefore, it is imperative to invest in his company. Since he does not want to accept my investment now, he can only take it slowly... Do you understand? "
"I understand, since Du Qiu wants to start a business now and the chairman has given support in all aspects, he will definitely be grateful to the chairman. In the future..."
Xue Ningmei put the tea cup on the table and interrupted: "Be careful what you say! It's good that you know some things, but don't say others."
"Okay, don't worry, I can definitely keep my mouth shut."
"I will leave it to you to communicate and cooperate with Du Qiu. I must satisfy Du Qiu!"
"good."
After leaving Tianqi Company, Du Qiu was planning to send Zhang Mingliu home first, but was interrupted because of the call Zhang Mingliu answered.
Zhang Mingliu said for a while, "Yes... Okay... Then I will find a way... I can handle it..." Du Qiu was impressed by his respectful attitude.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mingliu said to Du Qiu with a bitter face, "Du Qiu, can you lend me your car?"
"What do you mean?"
"Our president personally arranged for me to participate in receiving investors, and now he asked me to pick them up at the airport."
"Your newspaper also needs financing?" Du Qiu was a little curious. Is financing popular in all walks of life now?
"Isn't that right? I heard that there are several groups of foreign investors invited by the city's investment promotion department. This is the first group. Among them, some investors plan to cooperate with newspaper companies in new Internet media."
"Hey, the new Foreign Investment Law is really attractive." Du Qiu sighed. The amendment to this law was only passed by the parliament in March, and foreign businessmen have come in droves.
It seems that the pace of opening up in the Tang Dynasty has accelerated, and areas that were previously closed to the public have also opened their doors.
"Liu Liu, that's not right. This is a guest invited by the city's investment promotion department. Shouldn't they be responsible for the reception? Why do you ask your newspaper to come forward?"
"How do I know? The president said so, and I can only obey his orders."
Du Qiu just pulled over the car and suddenly realized, "It's still wrong. I don't need you to find a car to pick me up when I send you to receive you, right? Your newspaper office doesn't even have a car?"
"Don't mention it, the newspaper's cars all have tasks. The president asked me to find a way, so just help me, okay?" Zhang Mingliu pulled Du Qiu's sleeve and begged.
Looking at her expression, Du Qiu felt goosebumps. When did Zhang Mingliu become so coquettish?
"Okay, I'll lend it to you. When will it be delivered to me tonight?"
Zhang Mingliu suddenly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I just need to send you to the hotel. I will definitely be able to treat you to dinner in time. Remember to wait for me."
Seeing Zhang Mingliu excitedly sitting in the driver's seat, Du Qiu warned from the side of the car: "Drive carefully!"
Before he finished speaking, the car drove away quickly.
