The Black Card

Chapter 666 Extremely Strong Catalytic Effect

Qu Jing told Shi Lei that her company's technical staff said there was no problem in providing technical support, but they encountered great obstacles in getting them to leave Qu Jing's company and join the newly established company.

Almost no one is willing to change the battlefield.

"They have already worked overtime to come up with the preliminary design plan for the power bank. The only thing left is to order it from the manufacturer and make a small batch of test products for indicator testing. My technical staff have been with me for many years. This time I They also firmly supported me in starting a business and followed me to leave the original company. Two years after the company was established, they put in a lot of effort and everyone regarded it as their own business. At this time, I want them to leave my company and join a new company with an uncertain future. If they don’t want to, it’s hard for me to force them.”

Shi Lei pursed his lips. This was something he didn't expect. He originally thought that the company was invested by Qu Jing anyway. Now after the company has gone through four rounds of financing from angel round to C round, Qu Jing actually only has 30 to 40% in hand. shares, and Qu Jing also has the opportunity to get about 30% of the shares in the new company. Shi Lei felt that for those technical staff, there was not much difference.

Moreover, the new company's project is a project that can be launched immediately, and the prospects can even be seen soon. To be honest, Qu Jing's company, because there are still too few vehicles that use electric energy as driving energy, the charging pile project is very large. To a certain extent, it relies on the administrative promotion of government departments, and financing is not even particularly smooth. There is definitely a prospect, but it is not easy to see it in the short term.

Under this situation, Shi Lei felt that as long as Qu Jing opened her mouth, those technical staff would definitely be willing to switch jobs and get their wages elsewhere. It was a project with a brighter future, and they had no reason to refuse.

But the reality was before him, and Shi Lei had to face it.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Does everyone in your company's technical staff have a share?"

“When I first led them to start a business, we formed a partnership with them, with me holding 70% and their technical shares holding 30%.”

"This is a bit difficult to handle." After all, the number of people in the core team will not be too large, and if you want to get better technology, you definitely need core team members to join. Otherwise, what will happen when the power bank is updated? Who is responsible for the maintenance and follow-up of fast charging technology? As for Shi Lei, it is impossible to give more technical shares. At best, it is only a few points. Even if the number of people coming is smaller, it is actually far less than their shares in Qujing Company.

Unless Shi Lei is willing to accept the technical personnel from Qu Jing Company who are not part of the core team and have only recently joined. Even if they are given some technical stocks, the number will be very small. Perhaps Shi Lei's treatment will seduce them.

"Yes, and it's not just the members of the core team who are unwilling to leave. Even... let's put it this way, no one in the entire technical department is willing to leave. They all expressed that they want to stay."

Shi Lei nodded. He knew that his idea of ​​bringing Qu Jing directly to the new company from the company had failed.

"What about the design plan they came up with?"

"This is easy to handle, because it uses the patent of a third party, and it is a task assigned by me, so I only need to pay the patent fee to the third party after the new company is established and before it comes out with the product."

"The patent doesn't belong to you? Does that mean you can find technicians who understand this patented technology in the market?"

"This shouldn't be difficult. Currently, there are many companies using this patent on fast charging technology, and at least 50% of employees have been exposed to this patent."

Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, it was easy to handle.

But he still asked cautiously: "So Mr. Qu, what are your thoughts?"

"I'm still saying what I said before. I'm not too optimistic, but I won't suffer much loss anyway. Now I can't provide technical personnel. I'm just providing a design plan. You can give it a try."

Shi Lei said: "In terms of mass production, can your company's factory be able to handle it?"

"This is not a big problem. Compared with charging piles, the technical requirements of power banks are relatively low, and my factory and outsourcing factories have never been operating at full capacity. Mr. Shi, to tell you the truth, our company's situation is actually very It’s subtle. Everyone knows that the prospects are very good, but it is difficult to increase the production scale in the short term. Therefore, there will be no problems in production within two years.”

Shi Lei was relieved and said: "Okay, Mr. Qu, please give me the design plan first, and I will confirm the technical personnel first and then contact you."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Qu Jing quickly passed the design plan to Shi Lei, and Shi Lei made a phone call to give him instructions.

"Sir, I heard that you want to invest in a new project? It's not that I'm trying to shirk the blame, but I really don't have much energy to develop the second project at the moment..."

Yao Er obviously misunderstood. He thought Shi Lei came to him to ask him to take care of new projects.

Shi Lei said with a smile: "The new project does not require your follow-up for the time being. I can handle it myself. I am looking for you because I want you to help me recruit a group of technicians from the market. The requirement is that a certain fast-charging patent must be approved." There is enough familiarity. I have forwarded the specific design plan to your email. You can help me recruit a group of people based on the technology involved in that design plan."

This was not difficult for Yao Er, so he agreed directly.

"Okay, I'll find someone to study the design plan and help you get the personnel in place as soon as possible."

"be quick."

Yao Er paused and asked: "Sir, to be honest, Qixuan's current momentum is very good. The A round they rushed to get only the same valuation as the angel round. The industry is not optimistic about their prospects, even if It’s Ai Tou Factory, but actually it’s not very optimistic about this project. Ai Tou contacted me many times, hoping to have the opportunity to follow us in our Series B round. They even said that Fu Jianhui would never appear again. It's so unpleasant, which is enough to show how optimistic the market and the venture capital circle are about us. You really don't need to be distracted anymore. Why not take advantage of this project to make steady progress, and then consider new investments after absorbing the losses? Late."

Shi Lei smiled and said: "My current project overlaps with Qixuan's project to a large extent, and it can serve as a front station for Qixuan bicycles. You will understand after reading the design plan, and then you will follow I said."

Yao Er had no choice but to agree.

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Yao Er called again. He smiled and said, "Sir, I'm starting to admire you a little now."

"Don't be like this, don't be like this, blind personality worship is unacceptable!" Shi Lei was very proud and pretended to be humble.

"Haha, this is a good idea. Although I am not optimistic about the market prospects, it does provide Qixuan Bicycle with an opportunity to intervene in the market in advance. Using this project to train Qixuan's soldiers is a good entry point. I will implement the technology you need as soon as possible People, a technical team of ten to fifteen people.”

"good."

Yao Er is a person who can draw inferences from one instance and even draw inferences from one instance. He thinks far more than Shi Lei. In his opinion, once this new project or company reaches a sufficient scale, it can actually be used to promote it. Acquired. When the time comes to integrate resources from various places and announce a larger round of financing for Qixuan, it will have a strong catalytic effect on Qixuan's growth.

First update guaranteed.

To be honest, if I hadn’t seen the book review section, I wouldn’t have known that Wang Discipline Inspection Committee had commented on shared power banks. But Wang Discipline Inspection Committee, this is not the first time that he wants to eat Xiangxiang. Two years ago, IG squeezed into S5 at the last moment, allowing him to survive. However, in August he also posted a message "Sincerely Recruiting Xiangxiang People" advertisment. So, just take a look at what Wang Discipline Inspection Commission said.

And regarding the investment in power banks, please be patient and read on.

The outline of this part of the plot in this article was written long before Wang Discipline Inspection Commission's arrogance. It can only be said to be a pure coincidence.
