Chapter 331 Partnership (3)

Of course, for Liu Shanyong, although he arranged the girls, the main role of these girls was to adjust the atmosphere. They could not be the protagonists of today's occasion. Among the people present, even Shin Sangyu would not be so lustful as to ignore business.

Therefore, after the girls sat down, they just had a round of drinks, and Liu Shanyong directly brought the topic to the food delivery platform.

"Zhao Jingsheng is just a rough guy," Liu Shanyong put the empty wine glass in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, leaned forward, rested his elbows on his thighs, looked at An Rushong and said, "He can't understand even if you read the scriptures to him. Not only can he not understand, he can't remember it either."

He pointed at Ha Yunbin with his right index finger, "I asked Minister Ha to talk to him once before, and he stammered and couldn't explain anything clearly. Based on what he said, Minister Ha has some clues, but there are still many things he doesn't understand. So, what I mean is to let him have a good chat with you and learn from you."

An Rusong nodded with a smile on his face, then he took a puff of cigarette, turned his gaze to the humble Ha Yunbin, and said, "No problem, Minister Ha, just ask whatever you want to know, and I will tell you everything I know."

Ha Yunbin stood up quickly, bowed to An Rusong, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Liu Shanyong, who said, "Don't worry about this for now."

Reaching out to take the cigarette that An Rusong had thrown on the coffee table, Liu Shanyong took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He didn't need to take a lighter, the girl next to him lit the cigarette for him first.

"Rusong," Liu Shanyong said, taking a puff of his cigarette, "I know you have worked with Liu Taihe before."

The corner of An Rushong's eye twitched and the smile on his face seemed to freeze. He knew that the other party brought up this matter in order to threaten him.

However, Liu Shanyong continued, "At that time, you and him, oh, actually Shen Taian, you must have had a bad quarrel. It was mainly because Liu Tai and that bastard didn't follow the rules. Of course, Shen Taian was also a short-sighted guy. These bastards wanted to monopolize all the benefits and eat alone."

"You can rest assured that Sunyong is not that kind of person," he said, gesturing with the hand holding the cigarette. "We have known each other for a long time, and you should understand my brother's character. He is a person who is willing to cooperate with others and is also a person who is willing to share with others, including in this matter."

His hands trembled in front of him, as if he was formulating some words.

"Food delivery platform," Ha Yunbin, who was standing by, understood what he meant and spoke for him.

"Yes, yes, the food delivery platform," Liu Shanyong nodded and said, "Brother also has the same stance on this food delivery platform project. You, I..."

"And me!" Shin Sang-woo seemed to be worried that others would ignore his existence, and he would seize every opportunity to say something.

Liu Shanyong glared at him but did not scold him. Instead, he continued, "And Shangyu, the three of us will work together on this project. My opinion is that Shangyu and I will be responsible for providing funding and related support. Hey, you should understand what I mean, right?"

An Rushong nodded. He was not a rookie, so he could certainly tell what the other party meant by the relevant support.

As mentioned before, South Korea is also a society where relationships are important. People with connections and channels can get things done much cheaper than those without connections and channels. If An Rushong had a family background like Liu Shanyong when he founded NGN, things in all aspects would probably have been much simpler.

Now, the topic that Yoo Sun-yong is talking about is the share division of the company that owns the food delivery platform. He and Shin Sang-woo will provide a certain amount of funds. In addition, they can support the company's external public relations matters, including official and private ones, and this "support" ability also requires shares.

"As for you, Rusong, you are also responsible for providing part of the funds. Besides, this project was proposed by you, so this part should also be counted as your investment," Liu Shanyong continued, "So, the three of us will contribute the same amount of funds and hold the same shares in the company."

After a pause, he glanced at Shin Sang-woo and continued, "Now, we don't know how much money we have to invest, but no matter how much it takes, each of us will contribute one-third, and each of us will hold 30% of the company's shares. As for the remaining 10%, it will be reserved as the company's incentive equity pool, which can be held by company employees in the future. What do you think?" "Of course I have no problem, Brother Shanyong," An Rushong smiled without hesitation. He spread his hands and said, "In fact, Brother Shanyong, the company does not need to reserve shares for me. You have to know that when I suggested Brother Jingsheng and others to build this platform, I didn't think about participating in it. After all..."

"No, no, no," Liu Shanyong waved his hand to interrupt him and said seriously, "Rusong, what we are discussing now is not whether you are interested in this project, but a matter of principle. This is a cooperation between us. Since it is a cooperation, some people cannot benefit from it while others get nothing, no matter who this person is."

"OK, OK, Brother Shanyong, I understand what you mean." Seeing that the other party was serious about what he said, An Rushong raised his hands and said with a smile, "Then, as you said, we will divide the company's shares equally."

In fact, An Rushong knew that there were probably three reasons why Liu Shanyong insisted on bringing him in: First, he was no longer the chairman of that small company, nor was he the small figure who could only rely on Councillor Kong in the political circle. Whether it was the rapid development of NGN or his increasingly close relationship with Li Minbo, it was worth it for Liu Shanyong to pay some price to win him over.

Second, this kind of business cooperation is equivalent to binding the interests of both parties. Liu Shanyong needs NGN Company to invest in Enping District, and with this cooperative business and common project, he will have more sense of security.

Third, only if An Rushong holds a certain share in this company which mainly operates a food delivery platform, will he care about the company's profits. If he has no connection with this company, who can expect him to pay attention to the company's operations?

Ha Yunbin is indeed an experienced professional manager. If the company puts him in charge, there will definitely be no problem in basic business operations, public relations negotiations, etc. But for those technical issues, especially those related to how to develop the platform, to be honest, Liu Shanyong cannot completely trust him. At least, compared with An Rushong, Ha Yunbin's credibility is not that high.

The reason is simple. Ha Yunbin was not originally a basic person. He was an administrative talent. And what about An Rusong? He was the founder of NGN Company and completely dominated the development direction of NGN software. If he did not have this ability, Apple and DFJ, which invested heavily in NGN Company, would not have supported him so much.

The project of this food delivery platform was originally conceived by An Rushong. Not to mention that this food delivery platform is also a branch of the Internet, even as the initiator of the project, An Rushong has the most say in how the platform should be developed. If he personally participates in it, how can Liu Shanyong feel at ease?

With these three points in mind, Liu Shanyong would naturally do his best to get An Rushong to join him.

But then again, even if An Rushong could see all this clearly, he had to admit that in terms of the overall situation, Liu Shanyong was much smarter than Liu Taihe at the beginning. At least the former really did not intend to have it all to himself, while the latter was really hard to describe.

As for An Rusong's initial statement, that is, he didn't want to get involved, he was sincere. His experience in two lives told him that people who wanted to be friends had better not cooperate in business, and people who did business together often couldn't be friends. Although he didn't want to be friends with Liu Shanyong, at least he didn't want to break up with him.

Therefore, there is no problem in cooperating on this project, but An Rushong has already made up his mind that when the platform is on the right track and can truly attract external investment, he will transfer his shares and get out in time.

Now that the three parties have reached an agreement on the issue of company shares, the next thing will be easy.

When it comes to joint investment, none of the three parties are the kind of people who can't come up with money. The key is that the company does not need to invest a lot of money in the early stages. There are three aspects: first, office location and related equipment, which account for a relatively large proportion of the investment. But the good thing is that Shin Sang-woo's family has multiple properties, and it is very simple to rent one. All you have to do is pay him the price. Having your own property can save you from unnecessary trouble in many things.

As for equipment, this aspect is also very simple in An Rushong's view. His NGN company has a large number of business customers, among which the ones with the most dealings are equipment providers.

Secondly, it is the salary of employees, which is also a relatively large part. Of course, compared with salary, hiring the right people is more troublesome. An Rusong can ask the programmers of NGN Company to help Han Meiyan, but he will not ask them to do voluntary labor at the takeaway company, so hiring qualified programmers is a very important task.

The last point is the various procedures and peripheral affairs. These matters can be directly handed over to Shin Sang-woo. In any case, he cannot be left idle.
