I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 445 "Wishing everyone a bright future!"

Just after Fang Qingye left, Xin Tiejun, who had recovered from his shock, quickly called Lin Tao, who was busy debugging a program in the next room, and whispered what had just happened.

Lin Tao was a pale-faced scholar. He and Xin Tiejun were classmates. After hearing Xin Tiejun's words, he was stunned and didn't say a word for a long time.

shit
The company has only been established for a year and a half, and someone already wants to acquire it?!

"Then let's call Ma Xingjie back and discuss it," Lin Tao said.

“We definitely need to discuss this. Lin Tao, I’d like to hear your thoughts first,” Xin Tiejun said.

"I don't care, as long as I can continue doing this job. The payment system is only in its initial stage and is still a long way from being put into practical use. I don't want to give up halfway."

Xin Tiejun understood what he meant.

Fang Qingye's acquisition of Zhiyun Technology was primarily driven by his interest in Lin Tao's blockchain-based payment system. Once the company was acquired, the project would belong to Fang Qingye. If any employees of Zhiyun Technology left, especially key personnel like Lin Tao, they would definitely have to sign some kind of agreement prohibiting them from engaging in related research and development for a specified number of years.

Otherwise, what if you leave your job and start a new team from scratch?
"Okay, I'll call Ma Xingjie!" Xin Tiejun said, taking out his phone.

"Call me when he gets back, I'm going to do my own thing." Lin Tao said, then turned and left the room.

Xin Tiejun shook his head.

This guy is a real coder fanatic.

When it was lunchtime, Ma Xingjie rushed back, and Xin Tiejun took out his phone to order takeout.

Looking at the blue Ele.me icon on my phone screen, I couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

Is my company going to become a sister company with Ele.me in the future?

Ma Xingjie is not a student of the Central University of Finance and Economics. He graduated from the University of International Business and Economics with a bachelor's degree. He and Xin Tiejun are both from Hunan Province and were high school classmates. He used to work at Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank. After resigning, he started a business with Xin Tiejun and Lin Tao.

On the phone, Xin Tiejun had already told him the whole story. On the subway back, he had thought everything through and was no longer so agitated.

When the takeout arrived, the three of them ate and chatted in the office, naturally talking about Fang Qingye's acquisition of Zhiyun Technology.

"Tiejun, you spearheaded the founding of Zhiyun Technology. What were your thoughts on it?" Ma Xingjie asked.

Xin Tiejun put down his chopsticks and looked at the two of them: "Our Zhiyun Technology has developed relatively quickly in the year since its establishment, at least we can maintain a balance of revenue for now. But to be honest, compared with large companies like Inspur, Digital China, or the Software Center of Bank of China, we are still very weak, and the competitive pressure in the future will be great."

"Furthermore, the development of the blockchain payment system that Lin Tao is in charge of will require a lot of human and material resources, which our Zhiyun Technology itself does not have the capability to do."

"In the future, we will either need to raise funds, be acquired, or go bankrupt. These are the only three paths we can take," Xin Tiejun said.

“I approached well-known investment institutions such as Sequoia Capital China, Matrix Partners China, Innovation Works, and Alibaba for financing, but they were not very interested. We can’t just watch our company go bankrupt, can we? So being acquired by Fang Qingye is a better option.”

"Tiejun, do you agree to the acquisition?" Ma Xingjie asked.

“Yes, that’s what I think. Being acquired by Fang Qingye’s Tuofang Technology means we have a powerful backer and don’t have to worry about the company’s future,” Xin Tiejun replied.

"Moreover, for us personally, having this amount of money makes it no problem to settle down in Shanghai."

"And you, Lin Tao?" Ma Xingjie looked at Lin Tao next to him.

"I told Tie Jun that I didn't offer any opinions, as long as I can continue working on this payment system," Lin Tao said while eating.

“Alright then, since you two agree, I have no objections,” Ma Xingjie said. “However, I don’t plan to stay at the company; I’m leaving.”

"Where are you going?" Xin Tiejun asked hurriedly. "Back to my hometown."

"Huh? Going back to our hometown?!" The other two were also surprised.

"Yes, let's go back to Yueyang," Ma Xingjie said with a smile.

“I came to Shanghai after graduation and stayed for more than five years. The competition here is too fierce and the pressure of life is too great. I’ve figured it out. Rather than working so hard, I might as well take this 1000 million yuan back to Yueyang, do some business, find a girlfriend and live a comfortable life.”

Xin Tiejun paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, Xingjie, I wish you all the best."

"Hehe, I should say congratulations to you all. Tie Jun, when you go back to your hometown, let's get together for drinks again. And Lin Tao, come to Yueyang sometime, I'll treat you to Dongting silver fish!" Ma Xingjie added.

"I'll come when I have the chance," Lin Tao quickly replied.

As they spoke, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat somber.

"Haha, look at us, it's like we're facing a life-or-death separation." Ma Xingchengjie laughed, picked up his teacup, and said, "Let's drink tea instead of wine today, bottoms up, and wish everyone a bright future!"

"The future is bright!"

Fang Qingye received a call from Xin Tiejun in the afternoon. He was in his office listening to Li Li report on the recent work of Tuofang Technology.

Tuofang Technology is now more like an asset management company. All the quarterly financial reports of the companies it holds and invests in are submitted here. Li Li arranges for company personnel to review them, summarize them, report to her, and then provide feedback to each company, including her own opinions and suggestions.

When she saw that her boss was calling, Li Li wisely stopped reporting.

"Hello, Manager Xin."

"You agree? Heh, that's good, it's a win-win situation!"

"I'll bring some people over in a bit so we can discuss the details."

"Okay, see you soon!"

Fang Qingye hung up the phone and said to Li Li, "I'll report back tomorrow. Now come with me to Zhiyun Technology. They've agreed to let me acquire their company. Let's go there now to discuss the details."

"Huh? You acquired Zhiyun Technology?" Li Li was surprised.

I went out for a long drive this morning and somehow ended up acquiring a company?!

“Yes! I’m very interested in their company’s blockchain-based payment system and I plan to acquire it for 3000 million. Call Xu Mei and Wei Xinghua over. I plan to transfer Lu Hui from their company to serve as the vice CTO of the new company.”

"Ok."

Just as Li Li was about to leave, she suddenly heard Fang Qingye say again, "Tell Qin Jing to go over there too."

"Boss, are you planning to transfer Qin Jing over there too?" Li Li immediately thought of something.

"Yes, she serves as the company's CFO, but her relationship with Tuofang Technology remains the same, just like Xu Mei."

"OK! I'll notify them right away." He then turned and left the office.

Fang Qingye smiled, picked up her teacup, and took a small sip.

Qin Jing was originally assigned to Ele.me for a year-long internship. She once pursued Kang Jia relentlessly, but he refused to reciprocate her feelings, leaving her feeling quite frustrated. However, after returning to Tuofang Technology, she quickly met a boy who liked her, and the two fell in love. Now, they are planning to get married.

It is Zhao Chaoyi, the leader of the Tomorrow Cube model group and a doctoral student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University!
