Chapter 150 - IHZHI
In Fang Dien's office, four teenagers were having their drinks while Fang Dien was standing by their side. Explaining the history of IHZHI. It was per request of Xiong Zhi.
A while ago, while they were in the elevator to Fang Dien's office, Xiong Zhi spoke to Gu Zhen.
"I told you before that I will make a company that you can trust in terms of financial support and advertising. See it for yourself how IHZHI was growing. After that, you can tell me what you decided." It was clear that Gu Zhen already decided that he would take IHZHI's offer. However, Xiong Zhi wants to let Gu Zhen know that IHZHI was a great company and they would be no need to choose other companies for his future projects.
Since Gu Zhen was a genius and a creator of many systems in the future, Xiong Zhi wants to bind him under IHZHI. Even they have a good relationship right now. No one could say what would happen in the future.
It turns out this decision was effective. Gu Zhen was listening carefully. This was the company that he would collaborate with.
Lu Yin Ze and Son Xuantin were seriously listening too.
After the tea break and Fang Dien's short introduction. They began to tour in IHZHI.
When Xiong Zhi first look for IHZHI's building, it was only a bare building with 21 floors on it. Only eight floors were occupied by the employees.?Plus the top floor for the VIP's offices such as Fang Dien, Xiong Zhi, and Gu Zhen's office. The other floors were bare and untouched. However, Xiong Zhi believed that in the near future, this building would be overflowing of employees in different sectors.
All the stations they visited, the employees were ecstatic and doing their work diligently. As of now, IHZHI has less than a thousand employees.
Each department head was greeting them and telling which sector they were managing and as well as their great feat. Some were explaining that they were now working on this project and has a former project that currently envied by many people.
Xiong Zhi was satisfied with their boasting. She was also satisfied with their manners and actions, even the guests were a group of kids, they did not dare to look down on Xiong Zhi's group.
Lu Yin Ze was amazed. Even though the Lu Empire owned a lot of buildings and has million of employees, he was nevertheless amazed by the harmony between employees. All of them had a look of enthusiasm and determination to make them, the visitors, to look upon IHZHI. One could say that the employees were satisfied and burning with passion as they explained their work and their future plans. No doubt this company would grow stronger with these people working under IHZHI.
Xiong Zhi noticed his gaze to her employees. She seems to know what Lu Yin Ze was thinking.
So she added some advice.
"Mr. Fang Dien is very talented when it comes to recruiting hardworking people. All of them are interviewed by him one by one. Even the janitor and the guards are interviewed by me. Remember this, Lu Yin Ze. If you are going to build your own company, make sure the foundation, which is your employees, is selected by you and your trusted person personally. Every one of them is essential to the company. If they are loyal and dedicated to the company, there's no doubt that the company would expand more and grow stronger. That's why you have to choose your own people."
Lu Yin Ze agreed. In Lu Empire, it's impossible for his grandfather to interview a million employees under him. So now, they don't know who were spies, who were dedicated, who were backstabbing them. Even among the shareholders, they were betrayers among them. These reasons made his grandfather unease when he sleeps. Who knows when he wakes up, all the shares would be sold to someone else?
These were all the big empires' worries.
The four teenagers went back to Fang Dien's office. Their lunch came and they ate in silence.
Song Xuantin was silent since there was another person, who was older than them, eating with them.
She doesn't know much about business. Or handling people. She takes a look at everything and felt that Xiong Zhi's company was very lively. Even though everyone was busy working, there's no complain or dissatisfied eyes with them. All of the employees were passionate.
After Xiong Zhi finished eating, she looked at Gu Zhen.
"So what do you think about IHZHI?"
Gu Zhen wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"Admirable. It's only been less than a year and you manage to build this. Actually, even without the tour, I already decided. Of course, before I went here I already make some research about IHZHI. You've taken a lot of projects and all of them are successful. Some are even increasing profits every month. I believe IHZHI could support my project." Maybe Gu Zhen doesn't have a clear picture of IHZHI's achievement. If he has, the words 'admirable' might change to 'phenomenal'.
However, Xiong Zhi was satisfied with his answers. Now all she had to do was to secure this money tree.
"Alright. Now let's talk about business." She gestured to Fang Dien to place on the table the necessary doc.u.ments.
"I told you before that I will offer you a contract for your projects. But I change my mind. I want you to become part of IHZHI. " Xiong Zhi pick up the papers and point out the shares that she wants to give to Gu Zhen.
It was 10%.
"Ten percent is big. It's a 10% of an entire IHZHI. Plus, I will still pay you for your projects. "
Ten percent of the entire IHZHI. If Gu Zhen agreed, he will own ten percent of IHZHI. This was a very big offer. Even Gu Zhen was not knowledgeable about business and contracts, he knew what it means to have a share of the company.
It was a great offer. However, Gu Zhen looked at Xiong Zhi suspiciously. Knowing Xiong Zhi, he knew how calculating she was. It was probably not for sincerity but she must have a reason. But what for?
"Why are you being so generous? " so he asked.
"What's wrong for being generous? I saw your potential. I want you to be part of IHZHI so we can achieve great things together in the future."
These words made both Xiong Zhi and Gu Zhen cringe. However, it's the truth. Xiong Zhi, who knew of Gu Zhen's talent and achievement in the future as the computer genius of their generation, wanted to make use of Gu Zhen's talent for IHZHI. Actually, ten percent was not enough. If someone knew of Gu Zhen's future achievement they would maybe offer at least 30% of the company. With Gu Zhen's talent, any company would be at the top without question. The company where Gu Zhen was before offered him a CEO position. Since Gu Zhen was the one who made the company flourished.
So this 10% was really nothing compared to Gu Zhen's achievement in the future. But that was for the current IHZHI. If IHZHI became big as an empire, as strong as an unmovable mountain, reached the higher peaks of every industry, then that 10% of Gu Zhen was greater a hundred times than that CEO position and 30% of Gu Zhen has before in his former company.
So this was actually a fair deal. Maybe a lot more advantageous for IHZHI since they would exploit and ride with Gu Zhen's boat. But for now, since Gu Zhen's work hasn't made it public yet, and no one knows his enormous potential, Xiong Zhi wants to tie him to IHZHI. By making him a shareholder. Since Gu Zhen also owned a part of IHZHI, then he would work hard for IHZHI.
"You mentioned you want to add Song Xuantin in the deal. Then let's do this, I'll make you own 8% while Xuantin has 2%. But all the money that I will pay will be transferred to you." Xiong Zhi said.
"No. Make it 5-5. The money as we-"
"Gu Zhen, who created this project? You said before that you are almost done with the project before Xuantin helps. If you give more profit to Xuantin,?are you being unfair to yourself?" Xiong Zhi was not against giving half of everything to Song Xuantin that was for Gu Zhen. However, they are talking about business here. And Gu Zhen would be a shareholder and Song Xuantin too. She doesn't want to have a pig like a teammate. *
It might be the first time that they enter the business industry. As the one who coached them here, she needs to impart them how business works.
Song Xuantin gulped the drink she was having. She was not really interested in the shares. She doesn't even know how much was it. And even the money, she was not concerned about it. As long as she spends time with Gu Zhen, it was enough.
"Right! It was all your work. I only helped you with the finishing touch. I will feel bad if you gave me half. I don't even help you that much. Besides, I don't care about money. I am rich as well. " Song Xuantin said.
Xiong Zhi just furrowed her brow. If they would be a part of IHZHI they should at least know that acting this way would be disadvantageous to them.
"Sigh. Xuantin, even you help a little bit, you still did something. You have a right to demand a price for your work. But not the same as Gu Zhen, since he was the creator. Both of you, listen carefully, if you want to be part of IHZHI if you want to enter this industry, then know at least this, every little work has a price. Get as many advantages to those offers. And make sure, that you will get something out of it."
Lu Yin Ze was seriously listening. Putting those words into his heart. Gu Zhen doesn't truly understand it but he gets that he needs to gain advantages in every offer. Song Xuantin however, was completely confused.
"B-but I'm not that interested in business. So it's okay. Just give the whole 10% to Gu Zhen."
Xiong Zhi felt like opening Song Xuantin's head and put some sense into them. But violence was not allowed in the workplace. Xiong Zhi sighed.
"Song Xuantin, let's talk somewhere else."
