I am weak and friendly

Chapter 150 From today onwards, this will be our sect's separate residence!

Tang Yiping didn't think too much when he sent this message to Luo Han.

He was a university student who knew neither about products nor the market. He never realized that doing something as a company is completely different from doing something as an individual, and the reasons for doing it are also different.

When I make something, I'm happy with it.

But for a company to do something, it needs products, users, a market, and related services.

This is something that will affect the company's overall development strategy and future resource allocation.

It involves a large amount of money and manpower.

"Uh... I can only say that I think it's probably possible to achieve this functionality," Tang Yiping said. "But... I don't know how to make products!"

Tang Yiping recalled how his FOEW had been criticized countless times for its terrible interface, terrible functions, and terrible interaction...

Lu Mingyuan: "..."

No, if you can implement this function, why are you worried about the product?

Why would we even bother with a commercial version of FOEW?!
Many people are already working on commercial versions of FOEW!

We need to seize this untapped market opportunity quickly!
However, he dared not get too excited, nor did he dare to put too much pressure on Tang Yiping.

"Why don't you give it a try first?" Lu Mingyuan said. "I think our big boss probably doesn't want us to go all out on this. You could just... do it casually?"

It might be hard for others to believe, but Lu Mingyuan actually felt immense pressure when facing Tang Yiping.

Tang Yiping is the most unique person in the entire Linghai Technology.

He no longer has any employment agreement with Linghai Technology. Previously, he was an "independent contractor" with Linghai Technology, where money was exchanged for goods on the spot, and the transaction was already settled.

His development model is also very unique. He releases an open-source version and then develops a commercial version to sell to Linghai Technology.

In order to bring Tang Yiping's technology into the commercial version of FOEW, Lu Mingyuan gave Tang Yiping shares.

At the time, he was worried that Tang Yiping might think the number of shares was too small, but now it seems that Tang Yiping didn't care about the number of shares at all.

But this indifference did not reassure Lu Mingyuan, which showed that Tang Yiping did not take this matter to heart at all.

Firstly, if the company doesn't make money, then having a lot of shares is meaningless.

Secondly, Tang Yiping is too strong.

Lu Mingyuan had met many geniuses in his life, such as Ze Ge and Luo Han back then, but Tang Yiping gave him a different feeling than these people.

This guy can casually pull out a whole bunch of achievements that others might reach in their entire lives.

Putting everything else aside, ever since the company decided to make a commercial version of FOEW, the future development of the entire company has been tied to Tang Yiping.

But why should Tang Yiping be tied to his own small, run-down company?
Even in his sleep, Lu Mingyuan would wake up every night to ask, "What's he after?"

Are you after him because he can't make money, or because his company is about to go bankrupt?

If Tang Yiping just said the word, countless companies would be vying to hire him.

He deliberately refused to go and stayed here instead.

Lu Mingyuan couldn't figure it out, so he felt conflicted and uneasy.

It's like an aging courtesan who suddenly gains the exclusive favor of a Middle Eastern prince. Every night, she wakes up in the middle of the night worried that her patron will run away, so she quickly scrolls through her phone to learn new tricks.

It can't be that he just likes his own small, failing company.

Especially now, after Gao Yuxiang's reasoning, he has figured it out.

He was even more conflicted because the investment was made because of Tang Yiping.

Sometimes, Lu Mingyuan would sigh and wonder if he was really the boss.
Not the emperor's chief eunuch?

"Then... I'll give it a try?" Tang Yiping thought for a moment.

"So, how do you plan to cooperate this time?" Lu Mingyuan asked cautiously. "What do you need? You can ask for anything!"

Tang Yiping really wanted to say, "I want Brother Ze!"

But he felt he might die.

So he settled for second best: "I want Brother Ban!"

Everyone looked at each other, and then all turned to look in the direction of the development team.

Brother Ban is still busy with the development team and didn't participate in this discussion at all.

"I want Brother Ban to help me with the product," Tang Yiping said. "That way, I can just focus on the core code."

"What I mean is, what kind of compensation and benefits do you want?" Lu Mingyuan asked, somewhat helplessly.

"What kind of treatment can you offer?" Tang Yiping looked at Lu Mingyuan. He hadn't actually thought about any treatment at all.

No, do you know that I'm actually supporting all of you?
The money that pays your salaries comes from me.

You're still asking me what kind of treatment I want?
Beside him, Ze Ge watched coldly, first glancing sideways at Tang Yiping, then at Lu Mingyuan.

Suddenly, I found this whole thing incredibly interesting.

You probably didn't expect this, did you? This is your sugar daddy.

The leader is a complete idiot; he knows nothing.

Your situation is the same as giving the other party's boss a kickback after you've finished negotiating a business deal!

You even asked the other party's boss how much kickback they wanted?

"How about I give you some more shares?" Lu Mingyuan said cautiously.

He has nothing else to offer besides this.

"alright."

No, you don't even ask how much it is?
"So, how many shares do you want?"

Tang Yiping: "..."

Yes, how many shares do I want?

Tang Yiping had never thought of this.

"Well... let me ask my dad how many shares would be appropriate."

Lu Mingyuan: "..."

Everyone present: "..."

If it were someone else, they would be mocking them.

What's wrong with you? An adult can't even decide on such a small thing.

But now, looking at Tang Yiping's youthful face, a group of people actually think this makes perfect sense.

"Shall we do it this way for now? If you need anything else, just let me know," Lu Mingyuan said, in a requesting tone.

"Where's Brother Ban?" Tang Yiping asked.

"As long as Aban himself has no objections, that's fine," Lu Mingyuan said.

Tang Yiping turned his gaze to Brother Ze.

Sure enough, if I suggested asking for Brother Ze, it might work!
Then he was glared at by the sect's mascot, a woman with bloodshot, scarlet eyes.

Upon arriving at the development team, Brother Ban's gaze fell upon them.

"What did you talk about this time?" Ban asked Tang Yiping. "Is the boss trying to tie you down?"

"more or less."

"The company probably won't go bankrupt anytime soon... but don't let the boss really tie you down," Brother Ban cautioned. "Hmm... anything else?"

Because he felt that Tang Yiping seemed to be watching him the whole time.

"Brother Ban, do you want to develop a new product?"

Brother Ban stopped typing.

Tang Yiping paused for a moment: "Starting from scratch, something I've never done before, it's an absolutely amazing product."

Brother Ban remained silent for a full two minutes.

"think."

He said.

Half an hour later, Tang Yiping opened an office that had been vacant for a long time opposite elevator number 9.

First, I opened the windows to let the dusty smell dissipate.

Then, with a "smack," a piece of paper that read "Special Projects Department" was slapped against the door.

He turned around and saw that his brother was carrying a box over.

Master, from today onwards, this will be our sect's separate residence!
