"Mr. Dongfang, thank you for your kindness. I am Zhou Qiaofu!"
When talking on the phone, Zhou Qiaofu should be around 50 years old according to the voice, but when we met, he found that the other party was older than expected, at least 60 years old.
Wearing a Chinese tunic suit and wearing black-framed reading glasses, he should be an informal person, but he looks weird when he tries to smile.
The skin is very fair, it should be engaged in research for a long time, no chance to bask in the sun.
"Mr. Zhou, hello, I'm Dongfang Herring!" Dongfang Herring shook hands with him.
"I've read your profile. You don't know me, but I knew you yesterday. When I was on the plane, I was worried that you wouldn't want to meet us." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"I'm honored!" Dongfang Herring was cautious in his words and deeds because he was not familiar with the other party.
"This is my assistant Kang Shaoyu, who is mainly engaged in the study of meteorite trajectories. This is Jing He." Zhou Qiaofu introduced the people around him.
"Hello, this is my assistant Wang Feiyan!" Dongfang Herring paused for a moment on the faces of Kang Shaoyu and Jing He respectively. Kang Shaoyu was about the same age as Zhou Qiaofu, but he was a little bloated and bald. More like leadership. Jing He is a young woman in her thirties, dressed very formally, holding folders and workbooks, she should be a secretary or something.
After the five people got to know each other, they sat down. This is "Plum Garden", Dongfang Herring is here for the second time, but I also know that the yard where I sit can't be reserved at will.
"How much does Mr. Dongfang know about Space Bureau?" Zhou Qiaofu asked.
"Not much." Dongfang Herring told the truth, on the way here, Wang Feiyan found some information for him to read, but it is obvious that nothing can be changed in this short time.
"The "Space Agency" is an organization dedicated to exploring space, and its main job is to build spaceships, or in more popular terms, spaceships." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"Many big companies abroad are also engaged in this kind of work." Dongfang Herring said.
"That's why we came to find Mr. Dongfang today." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"I'm just a high school student, I never went to college." Dongfang Herring said.
"Research requires financial support," Zhou Qiaofu said.
""Space Bureau" should belong to the country, right?" Dongfang Herring understood Zhou Qiaofu's purpose and came here for alms. However, he also had his own plan.
"The country is in charge." Zhou Qiaofu said vaguely, but Dongfang Herring already understood the meaning.
"What can I get?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"Future benefits." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"I have a question." Dongfang Herring said.
"Mr. Dongfang, please tell me," Zhou Qiaofu said.
"Aside from me, did you find anyone else?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"Mr. Dongfang is our first choice." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"What's the reason?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"The funds we need are clean." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"Aren't the funds in the bank clean?" Dongfang Herring was puzzled.
"No, in the real world, the original accumulation of large groups and large enterprises cannot be seen in the light." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"I would like to say one more thing, this kind of project, it should not be possible for non-government forces to participate in it?" Dongfang Herring was still worried.
"Because of some reasons that are inconvenient to disclose, the country cannot intervene too much, so on the surface, "Space Bureau" belongs to a company, a technology company." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"Is it the same as 'Boeing' and 'Airbus' abroad?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"Almost!" Zhou Qiaofu nodded.
"May I ask how much it will cost?" Dongfang Herring looked at Zhou Qiaofu.
"In the early stage, it was about 100 billion." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"So much!" Dongfang Herring gasped. He thought it was three to five billion, but he didn't expect it to be doubled.
"Scientific research has never been determined. It may be tomorrow, or it may be a hundred years." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"So, how much money is there?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"99.99 billion." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"Emotion is an empty shell!" Dongfang Herring almost fell off the seat.
"It's not an empty shell. We have 3,258 scientific researchers, and 6,452 assistants and support staff. These people are priceless, and no amount of money can buy them." Zhou Qiaofu said seriously.
"But I don't have that much money." Dongfang Herring said.
"I said, get to know Mr. Dongfang." Zhou Qiaofu said.
"Let me make an analogy, if I invest money, what kind of relationship do we have, cooperation? Or share?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"Mr. Dongfang can do whatever he wants," Zhou Qiaofu said.
"It's so easy to talk about, what about the shares? How do you calculate it?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"The country accounts for 51%, the space agency accounts for 10%, all staff members account for 20%, and Mr. Dongfang accounts for 19%." Jing He said.
Dongfang Herring almost splashed the wine in the glass on Zhou Qiaofu's face. He thought that even if he couldn't hold the controlling stake, he would still have half of it. Unexpectedly, he was regarded as a beggar.
"Mr. Dongfang seems to have something to say." Zhou Qiaofu looked at Dongfang Herring who was suppressing his anger strangely.
"I have also cooperated with people engaged in scientific research. I contribute capital, and researchers provide technology. I own 95% of the shares, and researchers hold 5% of the shares." Dongfang Herring said.
"This is impossible. We represent the country." Zhou Qiaofu said firmly, "No matter what the situation is, it is impossible for you to own 95% of the shares."
"I understand!" Dongfang Herring took a deep breath and smiled: "To be honest, I am very happy to meet Mr. Zhou, Mr. Kang and Ms. Jing He today. This meal, I invite everyone to come from afar. Come, I hope you can save me."
"Mr. Dongfang, what are you going to do?" Zhou Qiaofu saw Dongfang Herring standing up, and Wang Feiyan also stood up. He felt a little uncomfortable.
"As the saying goes, there is no business without benevolence and righteousness. I hope that the inability to cooperate will not affect our relationship." Dongfang Herring said.
"Does Mr. Dongfang want to give up? Mr. Dongfang, don't be impulsive. There are not many opportunities to cooperate with the country!" Kang Shaoyu said hastily.
"I believe, but my luck is too shallow, so I won't force it. The three of you take your time. I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Dongfang Herring said.
"Mr. Dongfang, you can talk if you have the conditions. Negotiations are negotiated, and you can see that we are very sincere." Jing He stood up.
"I thought about it, my money has other uses, and I can't get it out for the time being. I'm sorry to miss such a good opportunity, but I have limited abilities, so I can't help it." Dongfang Herring said.
"Is Mr. Dongfang dissatisfied with the shareholding ratio?" Zhou Qiaofu asked, "We are not stubborn people either. Tell us your opinion and we can make fine adjustments."
"Farewell!" Dongfang Herring smiled slightly, and walked out of the yard with Wang Feiyan, completely ignoring the three of them to stay.
