Lin Xiaosong was at a loss.
Originally, he came from Shenzhen, and the contrast between his old classmate's successful career and his career slump aroused some emotions. Therefore, he planned to make this "Little Cheng" convinced and strive for his greatest benefit.
But on the one hand, their understanding of the big principles and the world situation was at least clearer than his. Secondly, he had painstakingly prepared several key points. On the one hand, the other party was not unique and had to worry about being surpassed in this world. However, the other party came up with a lot of unreasonable reasons why CQ was not popular.
Secondly, he made a fuss about the fact that CQ had no way to make money, thinking that he had made the right move, but in the end, CQ said no to profit! Profits would prevent them from sneaking into the village to set up operations.
That's too much.
With Lin Xiaosong's initial attitude, he couldn't say "Then give me a position, I can do anything..." at the moment.
So shameful.
But do I really have to pack up and go home
Seeing Lin Xiaosong was a little embarrassed, Cheng Ran said, "Old Lin, are you here to make money? If you want to make money, I have many ideas that can help you make money. I won't say much. Just look at the Internet cafes that are booming now. You can open an Internet cafe. Even if it's a small Internet cafe with only 100,000 or 200,000 yuan of investment, it will be enough for you to make back your investment and make money."
Lin Xiaosong smiled bitterly, "I don't discriminate against opening an Internet cafe, but for someone like me who is used to running around, it's hard to feel at ease to open an Internet cafe for a living."
Seeing that Cheng Ran never mentioned letting him join the company, Lin Xiaosong finally hesitated, feeling the discomfort of being trapped in shallow water in front of this high school student, "It's like this... Mingshi should have told you that I am actually very experienced in marketing... Of course, I know that software promotion to the market is different from the work I have done before, but firstly, I have a foundation and can apply it to other things, and secondly, with more study, I believe I can achieve results. I wonder if CQ needs..."
Cheng Ran suddenly realized, "Is Lao Lin planning to join us and lend a helping hand?"
"Yes, yes."
Lin Xiaosong narrowed his eyes. It was no wonder that he was so flattering. He had completely lost track of the temperament of this "Mr. Cheng". He was really afraid that the boy in front of him would wave his hand and say "No need!" like he did just now. This would be so embarrassing. He really had to pack up and go home...
No, he had thought about quitting twice in a short period of time. This was absolutely impossible for him who used to be so arrogant. Normally, if someone put on airs in front of him and didn't use his plans and suggestions, he would usually secretly laugh at the other person for having no vision and deserved to fail!
But now... He suddenly realized that he was worried about being rejected by the person in front of him
It's like... just like when the 18-year-old girl named Shao Qi told him that we could actually be together, and he responded in a serious and surprised manner, "How could you think like that? We should focus on studying now." It's like that year and that time, as if he was about to miss an opportunity that would never come back in his life, and he even wanted to slap himself in the face.
So now when people ask him why he hasn't gotten married yet, he always says in a mysterious way that the time is not right. In the end, only he knows that this is due to his real talent and knowledge.
"In the conference room earlier, Mr. Cheng allowed me to sit in on the conversation. After the conversation, I was fascinated and wanted to contribute to the growth of CQ."
Lin Xiaosong complained that his words were totally spineless.
In fact, Lin Xiaosong's appearance was exactly what Cheng Ran wanted. Li Mingshi could lead the development of the product. His strong professional skills could control an entire team. Cheng Ran could set the strategy and plan and adjust the product. But he was still a high school student and couldn't go out to the market...
So now CQ is basically managed in a rough way, relying on Uncle Xie's portal to post recommendations and download links, and then posting them on various forums for free download, but after all, it is too rough. There is no concept of understanding of the market across the country, how many people use CQ? Why do others not use it? How to improve it so that people in different regions can use it and occupy the market, and how to contact various operators to find opportunities for cooperation and promote that CQ, so that the brand image is deeply rooted in people's hearts...
These are the most urgent issues that need to be resolved, but Cheng Ran is too busy to handle them, and this is not his area of expertise. He has never started a business before, and these attempts are all his first time in his life. All the details and specific operations are not his forte. So far, he is only good at painting, doing exercises, and dealing with people. He can't even beat Jiang Hongshao in badminton.
The source of all his knowledge and abilities came from his past dealings and exposure to information as an investor. Ultimately, it was all theory.
The appearance of a person like Lin Xiaosong can be said to be a timely rain for CQ. Even when Lin Xiaosong heard about Li Mingshi's situation at a classmate reunion after his career was at a low point, it was Cheng Ran who instructed Li Mingshi to deliberately reveal it in order to attract someone like him.
But Cheng Ran certainly couldn't act in front of the other party as if he was the fish that was caught by the timely rain, and he even gave Lin Xiaosong the feeling that he was the one who came up to him.
Cheng Ran pondered, "It's possible... but we have just started and the conditions are very difficult..."
Lin Xiaosong smiled happily, "I can handle the hardships of doing something I love. Moreover, I believe that with our success, we will personally gain rich rewards, both spiritually and materially."
Li Mingshi was watching from the sidelines as his old classmate, who was lured into a trap by Cheng Ran and then tricked into lowering his status, felt that Cheng Ran was a little devil.
However, Lin Xiaosong's words were well-spoken, and even Cheng Ran couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. It was like expressing his enthusiasm that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the cause, and that it didn't matter if the salary was low and the treatment was not good now, which showed his loyalty. Secondly, he calmly expressed his belief that the wise leader would not treat his interests unfairly after the company succeeded.
No one doesn't care about their own interests. Cheng Ran would only think that those who say they don't care about profits are hypocritical. It is natural for Lin Xiaosong to express himself in such a subtle way.
Cheng Ran said, "That's fine. Although our salary is a little low now, we are a team and the team will not mistreat any member who has worked hard for its development. If you join us to be responsible for marketing, we can sign an agreement to gradually increase your salary based on the results. You can even get the corresponding original share capital when the company develops to a certain level and stage, ranging from a few thousand shares at the beginning to tens of thousands later. In principle, you can get no more than 5%."
Li Mingshi felt that Cheng Ran's move was really smart. He quietly won over Lin Xiaosong and made him have no complaints about the fact that he got 5% which was less than Li Mingshi's 10%. He might even devote himself to work hard to get the expected shares.
This is completely different from the effect of claiming to lure Lin Xiaosong to join by offering shares and profits.
With Cheng Ran's vision, he certainly knew what the promised 5% meant if CQ really grew and became stronger, but he would never hold such an immature mentality that he would take it all. The reason why a company eventually becomes great is its internal stability and talent. If CQ cannot retain people and keeps changing people, every replacement of senior executives in the most critical positions will bring internal turmoil and running-in costs, especially when such a company reaches a certain height, the cost of such internal friction will be very huge.
Secondly, he promised to give Lin Xiaosong shares in stages, which was also based on his ability. If Lin Xiaosong's efforts and achievements were worth such rewards, then why not give it to him? Looking at many great companies, it is undeniable that the reason they were able to develop to that point was that they had the right strategic direction and used the right people.
Lin Xiaosong pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I will prove that I am worthy of your attention."
In fact, what Lin Xiaosong is thinking now is that even if it is only 5% of the shares, if calculated based on the valuation of ICQ when it was acquired by AOL for US$270 million, the share he can get in the future is already a sky-high price. This is the best life outcome he can imagine!
Finally, Lin Xiaosong stretched out his hand and shook hands with Cheng Ran.
"You said before that we could be part of the galaxy of the future, have a foothold in that splendor, and become a shining part?... I am very happy to join this knight order."
Li Mingshi pointed out with a smile that Lin Xiaosong explained, "This guy was a die-hard fan of Fire Emblem back then."
Lin Xiaosong stared into Cheng Ran's eyes and continued, "I hope that one day, when we are fully armed, with our horses neighing, and charging, we will unsheathe our swords... to the gods on the stars."
I know you want to see daily life, just like people walking, career and daily life, two legs alternate. I will transfer to that tomorrow, hehe.
Oh, this is the second update. There is no more.
