Chapter 193: Chapter 188: The Male Supporting Character Isn’t Brain-DeadAfter ensuring his fiancée and sister arrived home safely, Ye Qiu didn’t stay at the courtyard residence, but returned to his apartment in the city center. Ever since he started his business in college, he had spent most of his time living here because the apartment was closer to the company, more convenient than the big courtyard.
Ye Qiu attended college domestically and founded his own company during his sophomore year. He gathered a few top students from his school to develop a search engine software. After several years of operations, the software gradually entered the public’s view. If it hadn’t been for his foolish mistakes in his past life, this search engine would definitely have secured a place in the domestic market.
Having been given a second chance, in order to provide his fiancée and sister with better living conditions and to give the Ye Family more influence, he couldn’t just focus on a search engine.
Fortunately, this world was not very advanced. Many sectors like online shopping and online gaming, which were well-developed in other worlds, were still in their infancy here. He could definitely venture into these areas.
But even with endless ideas in his mind, he couldn’t implement them right away. What he lacked most now was money and talent. Although the company’s profits were considerable, it was still far from what his plans required.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Ye Qiu knew he had to plan things step by step.
The next day, Ye Qiu convened a meeting with the company’s key leaders and tech talents, focusing on the company’s future development and this year’s targets.
The plan that Ye Qiu had put together overnight attracted everyone’s interest. Those with imaginations were already envisioning a future where people in their country could buy local specialties from around the nation without leaving their homes through their software, take online gaming as a profession to compete in tournaments, and even promote their local culture to the masses through live streaming.
All the senior executives were shocked and inspired by Ye Qiu’s grand ambitions, and they found nothing ridiculous about it. Under Ye Qiu’s leadership, everyone was eager to usher in a new era for their country.
However, the initial funding was the biggest challenge. After a full day of meetings and discussions, it was decided to start by creating a gaming webpage under the company’s already profitable search engine, developing popularity through small games and further recruiting computing talent to develop live streaming.
Once the initial goals were set, all the executives got busy, and Ye Qiu was no exception. Leveraging his family’s advantages, he registered a series of patents and trademarks in advance.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Meiying asked Ye Qiu with curiosity. Lately, with Ye Qiu making an effort to get closer, their relationship had become more intimate. Mei Ying would ask Ye Qiu directly instead of guessing everything as before.
Ye Qiu snapped out of his reverie and gave his fiancée an indulgent smile: "Sorry, I was just thinking about the company."
No matter how many times, Zhong Meiying found herself defenseless against Ye Qiu’s delightful smile. Hearing his attractive voice, her ears turned red as she whispered, "Can you tell me about it?"
"I’ve had some ideas recently, but we’re still lacking in computing talent and initial funding," Ye Qiu honestly replied.
Zhong Meiying fell into thought before hesitantly suggesting to Ye Qiu, "I do know a very impressive computer genius, but I’m not sure if you’d be willing to hire her,"
As if his fiancée had just fluffed his pillow while he was dozing off, Ye Qiu said with interest, "As long as she’s capable, everything’s negotiable."
"She’s a friend of mine, from the same school, extremely skilled in her field. After graduation, she wanted to develop her career back home, but to her surprise, none of the companies she applied to wanted her, citing that as a girl, she wouldn’t be able to handle the intensive overtime as well as a man. Even the companies willing to hire her didn’t offer a satisfactory salary. She’s been thinking of going solo recently! If you are really interested, I can put you in touch with her."
"Sure, if she’s free tomorrow, she can come to my company to have a talk," Ye Qiu replied.
The next day, when Ye Qiu met the talent introduced by his fiancée, he realized he had incredible luck on his side. He hadn’t expected his fiancée’s friend from the previous day to turn out to be a future renowned tech guru. Even though she was a woman, she had paved her way in the industry with her friends.
At that moment, Ye Qiu had only one thought: his luck bonus had not been in vain; he had never been this lucky in his past life.
This tech guru was named Li Xiaoli. When Ye Qiu disclosed a part of his company’s future plans to her, the future tech guru decided to join Ye Qiu’s company without hesitation. After the contract was signed and Ye Qiu revealed the full scope of his plans, the guru asked Ye Qiu if he needed more talent as she had several friends.
This was an unexpected surprise. If the guru recognized these talents, they were definitely not to be underestimated. Ye Qiu promptly signed another agreement with her.
This time, the contract signed wasn’t an ordinary employment contract. To give her and her team more room to work and to keep them, Ye Qiu gave a share of the company’s stocks to her and her team. Ye Qiu knew the adage well: "one must be willing to give up something to catch something bigger." Today he might give her five million, but in the future, she could bring him a return of five hundred million or even fifty billion...
Once the team was ready, Ye Qiu applied for an astronomical loan from the bank. Apart from the company executives, he didn’t disclose this to anyone else. However, it just so happened that the bank manager was Mei Ying’s uncle, the younger brother of Ye Qiu’s Eldest Aunt, so a month later, the news of his loan was known to all who should know.
One day, Ye Qiu’s grandfather, uncle, and father called him into the study. After a half-night of heated discussion, no one opposed his decision anymore. The Ye Family, though everyone worked in the System and had a small fortune, couldn’t offer much financial support; they could only provide convenience in some departmental matters.
However, what moved Ye Qiu the most was his fiancée, Zhong Meiying. She gave Ye Qiu all the savings she had accumulated over the years. To an average person, it might seem like an astronomical sum, but for Ye Qiu’s project, it was no more than a drop in the bucket.
But Ye Qiu didn’t say that outright; instead, he sincerely thanked his fiancée and gave her some shares. In the not-too-distant future, even this small portion of the shares would make Mei Ying a wealthy woman.
"Is this the share agreement that Ye Qiu gave you?" Zhong Zhihong, Mei Ying’s younger uncle from the Zhong Family, asked as he looked at his niece.
"Yeah," Mei Ying nodded indifferently.
Seeing his clueless niece, Zhong Zhihong felt relieved that she had found a fiancé who cared for her. He had seen Ye Qiu’s business plan; otherwise, he wouldn’t have approved such an astronomical loan simply based on the relationship between the two families. With that few millions from his niece, she definitely got a bargain.
