Chapter 929: Chapter 948: If the Startup Fails, I Have to Go Back and Inherit a Trillion-Dollar Family Fortune
Qiuqiu looked up.
Mei Lin immediately asked her, "What do you think of this idea?"
"I think it’s not bad."
The eldest daughter’s eyes lit up. She thought to herself, "So I really do have a knack for business."
But Qiuqiu quickly shifted her tone. "However, based solely on this business plan, I can’t grant you the authorization."
Mei Lin froze.
Qiuqiu closed the business plan. "Mei Lin, I have a question for you. Are you here today as my friend, Mei Lin Dais, or as a partner and investor, Mei Lin Dais?"
"As a partner and investor, of course." She would never take advantage of a friend.
"Then I definitely won’t agree. This plan has a market, but its market consists almost entirely of my fans," Qiuqiu said, her expression turning serious. "If I authorize you to use the aroma of the braised gugu meat, I’d effectively be transferring my fan market over to you."
As a major streamer, Qiuqiu had to be responsible for her fans. "In the business plan, you didn’t specify the price range for the fragrance, nor did you state when you plan to start production after receiving the authorization. When seeking my authorization, are you offering to buy it out with Star Coins or give me shares?"
Although Qiuqiu wasn’t a professional businesswoman, reading so many contracts had turned her into half an expert.
Barraged by her series of questions, Mei Lin felt a bit dizzy, but she quickly picked out the points she knew and replied, "We haven’t determined the price range yet... but I can guarantee it will be within three times the cost. If you authorize it to me, I’ll start production this year. As for the method of authorization, it’s up to you. I’ll give you whatever you want..."
Before she could even finish her sentence, Qiuqiu let out an "oh" and interjected, "Even if I want a hundred percent of the company’s shares?"
Mei Lin’s eyes widened, completely tongue-tied.
"This—"
"I’m just teasing you." Sure enough, interacting with people made her feel less exhausted. "Next time you negotiate with someone, don’t make promises you can’t keep. It leaves you open to attack."
"Yeah... I didn’t write these things in the business plan because I wanted to talk to you in person, so we could discuss it."
That made sense. It was indeed much more flexible this way.
Qiuqiu thought for a moment. "In that case, President Dai, tell me what you have in mind regarding profit distribution and cooperation."
Given the floor to speak freely, Mei Lin managed to say everything she wanted to.
Qiuqiu corrected a few points, and ultimately, Mei Lin decided to negotiate a shareholding partnership. She wanted Qiuqiu to take shares in exchange for her technology.
If it involved shares, things would get complicated. It shifted from simply spending money to buy a formula to adding a second boss to the company, which required a professional legal department to resolve.
Qiuqiu was currently in school and very busy, so she handed this matter over to Qian Xingxing.
As it happened, Mei Lin also had Little President Qian’s private contact number. This matter thus transformed from a business deal between Jiang Qiuqiu and Mei Lin Dais into an affair between New Star and Mei Lin.
It was settled.
Once the matter was settled, Qiuqiu’s expression changed instantly. She dug out some snacks from the food warmer and placed them in front of Mei Lin and Jiang Xue.
"Alright, the business talk is over. Now let’s welcome back my good friend Mei Lin.
"Eat up, don’t just stare at it. Why did you suddenly think of opening a factory?"
Qiuqiu’s attitude was warm, and Mei Lin relaxed as well. "I wanted to build a career for myself and see how it goes." She looked a bit dejected, her expression somewhat heavy. "My dad said I wouldn’t succeed in business."
Oh, so she had been discouraged by her family. No wonder Mei Lin had been a bit quiet lately.
Just as this thought crossed Qiuqiu’s mind, Mei Lin added, "I really don’t want to inherit our family’s business..." She hesitated, stopping herself from saying more.
"Your family’s business?"
The Dais Family—
Castles, high-rises, parks, and shopping malls.
