An Overwhelming IQ!

738: Chapter 738: The President is a Top Student!

An Overwhelming IQ!

Tears without the sob!

Mental breakdown!

The moment Fang Qingya saw Wu Jie, her eyes were shimmering with tears.

That couldn’t help but remind Wu Jie of a phrase that had once gone viral on the internet.

“The baby’s heart is bitter, the baby feels wronged!”

Wu Jie sighed somewhat helplessly.

How could Fang Qingya possibly be a match for Tang Xiao?

As the saying goes, to each their own specialty.

If it were to come to pulling out all the stops in a car race, Wu Jie believed Fang Qingya would definitely give Tang Xiao a run for her money, and perhaps even outdo her.

But this wasn’t about racing; it was about corporate management.

When it came to car modification, mountain road drifting, or high-speed racing…

Fang Qingya was absolutely professional.

But talking about production organization, staff arrangement, or quality performance…

that was really putting her in a tough spot.

After all.

She wasn’t like Tang Xiao, devilishly talented, a top student at school, a War King in the military, a president in the corporate world…

Not only was she naturally intelligent, but Tang Xiao was also diligent and eager to learn.

At the very least, throughout their time together, Wu Jie had never seen Tang Xiao playing cards or video games, let alone visiting nightclubs to drink and dance.

Many girls, when not working or studying, would either watch soap operas or variety shows at home, play video games, shop online, or, once they stepped out, surely go shopping and eat out.

And Tang Xiao?

Whenever she had free time, she would definitely be studying, charging up on knowledge, looking at materials.

The rare times she went shopping, if she found something suitable and tried it on, she would buy it in bulk without even bothering to haggle over prices.

In contrast.

What about Fang Qingya?

Studying abroad, at some unrecognized third-rate university, she was still skipping classes every day.

Asking her to study and recharge every day?

That’d be worse than killing her.

If it were about chasing girls and flirting, she would be incredibly active.

In conclusion.

A playful underachiever met a diligent top student.

It was already good enough that she hadn’t been reduced to tears by the ordeal.

Luckily.

Wu Jie and Tang Long arrived, and after exchanging a glance with Tang Xiao, the father and daughter stepped aside to confer in whispers.

Seizing the opportunity, Fang Qingya took a deep breath, relishing the relief.

Then she turned, pouted, and complained with a face full of dissatisfaction:

“Jie!!”

“Your wife is really here to throw a wrench in the works!

I was almost criticized as completely worthless by her.”

“If she keeps reprimanding me like this, I’m really afraid I’ll have a mental breakdown!”

Wu Jie could hardly suppress a smile: “Is it really that serious?

Aren’t you usually very confident?”

Fang Qingya put her hands on her hips, huffed softly, and said with self-mocking laughter:

“Confidence?

I feel like I’m about to crumble in front of her!”

“I used to feel pretty good about myself, full of confidence in the company’s future, thinking it was unstoppable!”

“But after she had her say, I feel like my future is bleak, and I even have the urge to shut down and close the doors!”

Wu Jie was taken aback.

“Really?

What exactly did she say to you to make you lose your composure like this?”

“Ah, it’s hard to explain in a few words, but there’s a world of difference between different lines of work, and that I’ve come to fully understand!”

“Talk to her for me, please.

The shareholding issue is negotiable, just stop picking on me!”

“I really can’t take the criticism; I might just cry to death in front of her!”

Fang Qingya shook her head repeatedly, sighing endlessly.

Wu Jie consoled her: “You don’t need to wallow in self-pity, everyone has their strengths.

You may not know how to manage a company, but you’re great at racing and modifications!

In this regard, she can’t compare to you!”

Fang Qingya forced a smile that looked more pained than happy.

At that moment, Tang Long and his daughter returned.

“The company has a number of issues that need to be resolved through discussion.

Why don’t you two go have something to eat first?

We can continue our talk later?”

Fang Qingya let out a cold chuckle: “What’s the point of eating now?

With my mood like this, I won’t have an appetite for even the most exotic delicacies!”

Tang Xiao smiled: “I don’t mind, actually.

The issues aren’t that numerous, and they can be quickly addressed!”

“Then…

let’s sit over here!”

Fang Qingya led the three of them to the tea and rest area designated for workers to take a break.

Once seated, Tang Xiao spoke with a smile:

“First of all, I need to clarify that I focus on the issues, not the person.

I’m all about business without any intention to demean, slander or exaggerate!”

“Secondly, I’m not trying to show off how smart I am.

I’m only articulating an investor’s perspective!”

“Lastly, while Jie is excellent at inventing and creating, he’s too weak in business, and I’m representing him in full capacity!”

Fang Qingya nodded slightly: “Alright then, let’s have a good discussion about work today.

Speak your mind, I’m all ears!”

Tang Xiao’s smile faded as she became serious and said:

“Let’s talk about the biggest issue facing the company right now, which is the chaos in management concerning R&D, production, and quality control.”

“If this continues, we develop a good car, but production is done carelessly, and then it gets to the customers with several defects.”

“Selling defective cars to customers not only destroys the brand but can also be life-threatening!”

“For a newly established company, a major quality defect could be a fatal blow!”

“Therefore, there’s an urgent need to bring in a group of management talents to strengthen the administration.

You agree with this, right?”

Fang Qingya nodded vigorously: “I’m an outsider to all this, so of course professional matters should be handled by professionals!”

Tang Xiao continued:

“Next, in terms of market marketing, brand promotion, and policy public relations, the company is completely disorganized.”

“The cars are almost ready for mass production, but how many people know about Tianyuan Green Energy Auto?

Know that we have excellent electric vehicles?”

“After leaders like Elder Tan inspected the company, they had high praise for our products, but how to formulate and implement policies and plans for battery swap stations?”

“If we can’t establish brand awareness, can’t build battery swap stations nationwide, how can we expect our electric cars to sell well?”

“Therefore, we need to bring in marketing talents…”

Before she could finish, Fang Qingya was nodding even more emphatically.

The main event was about to start.

Tang Xiao cast a meaningful glance at Wu Jie.

“Finally, there’s the issue of the company’s shares!”

“The Graphene Composite Battery was invented by Jie and has been licensed to Tanglong Industrial Group for production,”

“Apart from providing automotive power batteries for this company, we will also produce batteries for phones, tablets, and laptops!”

“In other words, if the company wants to exclusively monopolize these high-performance batteries, then you’ll need to cede more shares!”

“We all understand that batteries are critical for electric vehicles; one could say they determine everything!”

…

Fang Qingya raised her hand to signal silence and went straight to the point:

“I understand all that, but I’ve put too much effort into this company, not to mention my substantial investment!”

Tang Xiao smiled faintly:

“That’s your business.

If you don’t want to cooperate, we can easily establish a new car company at any time.”

“After all, with globally leading battery performance, why worry about not being able to produce electric vehicles that sell well worldwide?”

Fang Qingya clenched her red lips with her teeth, her gaze turning frosty and stern.

“What do you mean?

Are you suggesting Jie break his word and not cooperate with me?”

“I didn’t ask him for a cent of investment, and just gave away 49% of the shares to him for nothing.

What more do you want?”

Tang Xiao was straightforward: “Eighty percent of the shares!”

Whoosh!

Fang Qingya suddenly stood up, her complexion changing drastically in an instant.

“That’s impossible!

This is outright robbery, not just demanding a lion’s share!”

Tang Xiao lifted her gaze to Fang Qingya, a smile at the corner of her mouth.

“Leaving you with twenty percent of the shares is already a gesture of respect for our friendship!”

“What friendship?

Aren’t we conducting business formally here?”

Fang Qingya’s voice rose sharply.

It was apparent to anyone that Fang Qingya was becoming desperate.

Tang Xiao motioned with her hand for calm: “Business formally, right?

Fine, sit down and let me spell it out slowly for you!”

Fang Qingya, barely holding back her anger, sat down and muttered:

“Fine!

Do the math.

I don’t want to unwittingly turn the company I worked so hard and invested in into a wedding dress for someone else!”

Tang Xiao took out her phone and opened the calculator app.

“Honestly, Qingya, if I were you, I’d be over the moon to get even twenty percent of the shares!”

“Don’t glare at me, just listen to my calculation!”

“You’ve invested one point eight billion for a twenty percent stake, so our company’s current valuation would be nine billion; you agree with that, right?”

Fang Qingya nodded slightly: “Nine billion is reasonable for now, but having only twenty percent of the shares is not!”

“Unreasonable, you say?”

Tang Xiao pointed to the final assembly workshop where two cars were being assembled.

“Right now, we are only in trial production and there are many more optimizations and improvements to make before we can start mass production, which is at least two to three months away!”

“Before mass production starts, we need to establish several 4S shops and battery exchange stations nationwide, finalize deals with many dealers!”

“Compared to the heavy promotional work, the most troublesome tasks should be stocking and inventory, right?

Don’t these require money?”

She paused for a moment and then chuckled:

“Moreover, there are already many electric vehicles on the market.

How do we break into the market and gain a good reputation?”

“The best approach is obviously to target the replacement of buses and taxis everywhere with our cars!”

“But what kind of influence and connections do you have?

Can you make Tianyuan’s thousands of taxis and buses all switch to electric?”

“You can’t just focus on the one point eight billion you’ve put in; more money will have to be invested later!”

“What you should see is the tremendous benefits of cooperating with us!”

Fang Qingya fell silent.

Tang Xiao analyzed earnestly: “Tanglong Industrial Group is among the global Fortune 500, and the Tang Family of Tianyuan has sufficient networking and resources.

Your cooperation with us is all gain and no loss!”

“We have a talented team capable of managing the company well and handling marketing and after-sales services!”

“We have a solid technological foundation that will ensure quality and abundant production capacity for battery exchange stations and electric vehicles!”

“We have strong connections to quickly open up sales channels, expand the market, and even provide protection!”

…

The logic was simple.

Fang Qingya, being intelligent, understood after some thought.

In this world, everyone knows that without connections and a background, business is hard.

A good product isn’t as valuable as good relationships.

Seeing Fang Qingya deep in thought, Tang Xiao added:

“Besides, you have to learn to do the math yourself.

You’ve currently invested one point eight billion, and you may need to invest more later!”

“Even if the total investment reaches three billion, holding a twenty percent stake, is the future value of the company only one hundred fifty billion?”

“I believe it is worth much more than three hundred billion!

With a thirty billion investment, you’ll get shares worth at least sixty billion!”

“Do you think you are at a loss?

And what if we don’t cooperate with you?”

“Your three car models are quite nice, and the features are decent.

Even if Jie provides you with batteries, what then?”

“Can you manage marketing and sales?

Can you ensure there are no quality defects?

Can you face competition from other giants?”

“Once battery stations are set up nationwide, once Graphene Composite Batteries are sold on a large scale, any car company will be able to buy them!”

“At that time, can you compete with established brands like Volkswagen, Toyota, Ford, and General Motors?”

…

A realization struck like lightning.

It seemed somewhat unreasonable for Tang Xiao to ask for eighty percent of the company’s shares without investing a penny.

But now, thinking about it, she just had to put in the money, and nothing else mattered.

Tang Xiao would take care of making the company strong and big.

Is it better to invest billions to create a questionable quality product in a company with a chaotic management, or to choose cooperation and invest billions together to build a company worth hundreds of billions?

Fang Qingya quickly did the math.

“I never thought you’d be so persuasive, President Tang!”

Tang Xiao shook her head with a smile: “Persuasive is not a lie; I couldn’t possibly deceive you, could I?”

Fang Qingya chuckled.

“No matter what, you’ve totally outsmarted me, and I am thoroughly convinced!”

“But for the image spokesperson, I’m not using Bai Fengling.

Instead, I’m going with a very nice flight attendant.

You’re okay with that, right?”

Tang Xiao asked with a smile, “What’s wrong with Bai Fengling?

Did she offend you?”

“She offended your husband!” Fang Qingya laughed disdainfully: “So, I can’t stand her and have already blocked her.”

With a swoosh!

Tang Xiao suddenly turned her head to look at Wu Jie, her scrutinizing gaze filled with surprise and suspicion…
