After Xia Zekai called his wife and explained the situation, he hung up the phone. He put the phone aside and asked Zhang Yiming: "Yiming, what do you want to eat?"
"Brother Xia, how about a cup of coffee first?" Zhang Yiming asked.
Two old men going to drink coffee?
A picture immediately appeared in Xia Zekai's mind. In a spacious and dim cafe, two men were sitting on sofa chairs, holding the handles of coffee cups with their orchid fingers, facing each other directly, and staring at each other shyly...
poisonous!
The scene was so beautiful that Xia Zekai didn't dare to think about it anymore. He said, "It's almost twelve o'clock, why do you want to drink coffee? Follow my arrangements and find a place to have a couple of cups."
Xia Zekai finally took him to the 'Little Fat Cow' hotpot city.
When the two got off the car and went in, Xia Zekai said to Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng: "You two should go in and have something to eat together."
"Boss, we won't go." Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng waved their hands and refused.
Xia Zekai was polite to them, but they would not use politeness as an excuse. They still had to abide by the rules.
"Okay then, you two can arrange your own meals later." Xia Zekai and Zhang Yiming went in together.
Xia Zekai asked for a room and was quiet.
After sitting down, a waiter came in from outside, not only bringing tea and water, but also a plate of buttered melon seeds for them to eat and play first to kill the boring time.
"Brother Xia, please say what you haven't finished just now." Zhang Yiming was still thinking about half of what Xia Zekai said in the car, and he couldn't help but start urging him.
Xia Zekai smiled slightly and said, "That's what happened..."
Xia Zekai said a lot in his own words, and I don't know if Zhang Yiming understood it.
However, he could see that Zhang Yiming didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later, he took it seriously, and even took out a pen from his body, thinking of writing down some of the key points Xia Zekai said.
But he didn't bring a notebook. When he saw a box of unopened tissue paper on the table, Zhang Yiming opened the box, took out a stack of white tissue paper, and quickly wrote down the key points he just memorized.
record it.
When Xia Zekai saw this scene, he was really a little confused.
He forgot where he heard that when Zhang Yiming was working on Toutiao, he was still in a cafe with Wang Qiong, and he used the paper on the table to outline the structure and functions he wanted to achieve for Toutiao.
But Xia Zekai didn't expect that he and Zhang Yiming would make a U-turn with the rumored story today, and it would become what he said Zhang Yiming had recorded.
Xia Zekai talked for more than ten minutes, during which time the waiter in the store brought over the copper pot, as well as the beef, meatballs, shrimp paste and various side dishes they ordered.
"Yi Ming, don't be busy taking notes now. Let's eat and have a couple of drinks first. If there's anything we haven't remembered, we'll discuss it later," Xia Zekai said to him.
Zhang Yiming probably didn't expect that Brother Xia, a 'layman', would actually have some knowledge, which surprised him. But after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was nothing wrong with the suggestions that Brother Xia just made, which was very strange.
You know he is a professional!
The meal was eaten very slowly. Whenever Zhang Yiming had something he couldn't figure out, he would immediately speak up and discuss it with Xia Zekai.
Xia Zekai doesn't hide anything, he just tells what he knows.
However, although Xia Zekai's suggestions are wonderful as a "finishing touch", they also have a shortcoming: they are not systematic.
When Zhang Yiming thought about asking more questions from this 'golden idea', Xia Zekai stopped answering.
He thought that Brother Xia disliked the problem because it was too simple and was too lazy to talk about it. Little did he know that Xia Zekai didn't understand the process at all, he only knew the result.
This meal lasted for nearly three hours. The two of them didn't eat much food, but drank a thermos of water. They talked too much and wasted saliva, which made them prone to lack of water.
The wine was drunk and the food was not eaten. When Xia Zekai stood up and was about to check out and leave, Zhang Yiming suddenly said: "Brother Xia, what you just said is right. I have figured it out. I know what to do this time."
I originally planned to stay in Qicheng for two more days to ask you for advice, but now I have almost the idea, so I won’t stay today. I have to go back to establish the project as soon as possible and make the product..."
"No, you can stay for one day. Let's go to a different place to eat something special in the evening." Xia Zekai said.
But Zhang Yiming became stubborn and waved his hand: "Brother Xia, I think that when inspiration comes, I have to go back and structure the product as soon as possible. It won't be too late for us to drink it next time."
"Yiming, don't worry about that. Let me ask you, do you want to put this project under Jiujiufang, or set up another company?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Zhang Yiming didn't even think about it and said directly: "I will definitely set up another company."
"In addition, after I return, I will propose to the company to resign as CEO of Jiujiufang and go all out to complete new projects." Zhang Yiming said.
"How much do you plan to invest in the early stage?" Xia Zekai asked him again.
Zhang Yiming thought for a while and then said: "Brother Xia, to be honest with you, I plan to invest 20 million first. If you are interested, you can invest a little."
Hearing what he said, Xia Zekai thought for a while and said, "I'll invest 5 million first. If you need funds later, let me know."
"Okay! That's it for now. I'll set up the company later and give you a call." The smile on Zhang Yiming's face was particularly bright.
The new company has not yet decided on a name, but the distribution of shares is planned.
He had to take half of it himself, and then Xia Zekai took a quarter, and the remaining quarter was divided between Wang Qiong and Liang Rubo.
As for how they will be allocated, Zhang Yiming doesn't care.
Zhang Yiming was determined to leave, so Xia Zekai didn't stop him.
After coming out of Xiaofei Niu Hotpot City, Xia Zekai told Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng to send Zhang Yiming to the train station.
Zhang Yiming bought the high-speed rail ticket at the ticket gate of Qicheng Railway Station. He arrived lightly and left with a strong smell of hot pot.
When Xia Zekai returned home, his wife was not there, so he went to pick up Yatou and Tongtong from school at about this time.
Xia Zekai didn't call her. He took his clothes to the bathroom and threw the clothes he should throw into the washing machine first.
Wash first and then talk.
While waiting for Luo Xiyun, Yatou and Tongtong to enter the house, Xia Zekai was ready to take a nap.
He hadn't had a good rest recently, and coupled with the high-intensity physical labor he had been doing these past few days, Xia Zekai couldn't recover at all and felt completely lackluster.
