Chapter 55 Am I going to be a beggar?
Lin Yi spent a week to complete the drawing, and printed out part of it, put it in a folder, and went with Luo Ye to discuss cooperation.

There is no time to delay. Lin Ye had already helped him to establish connections the day before yesterday, so this opportunity cannot be wasted.

Luo Ye, who was sitting in the car, looked at the blueprint drawn by Lin Yi and was shocked: "Dad, are you so awesome?"

"What's the point of comparing cows? This is just to fool you laymen. In fact, there is nothing valuable in it."

"Then how can we discuss cooperation? The people from the car companies can understand, right? They can tell at a glance that we are pretending, right?"

"My last drawing shows a part of the internal circuit design, which is of some value. The other important drawings are all on my USB drive and I won't show them."

Lin Yi is not a fool. If he shows all his achievements to others, and the cooperation fails, and his competitors use his drawings to build trams, he will become a clown.

Whoever does business has hundreds of tricks up his sleeve? They are all old foxes.

"It mainly depends on whether they have the intention to cooperate. If not, there is no need to waste time."

Luo Ye didn't ask any more questions. He just had to listen to Lin Yi.

The person they were going to meet today was the manager of the only large factory among the three car companies. The other party was the person in charge of the joint venture car company Guanggang in Suzhou City and had a certain degree of autonomy.

If you can borrow the other party's factory and some of their employees, it will be twice the result with half the effort in the initial stage.

But this kind of cooperation is generally not easy to negotiate. The other party will probably ask for an exorbitant price, so Lin Yi is mentally prepared.

"Can we really go to meet them empty-handed? When I was a kid, I saw people who came to my dad to discuss cooperation always gave him a lot of gifts."

Luo Ye, who was driving, suddenly asked Lin Yi.

"Those who gave your dad gifts were not there to discuss cooperation with him. They were there to ask for benefits. Since it was said to be cooperation, both parties are equal. You are lowering your status by bringing gifts."

Lin Yi explained the truth to the playboy: "Cooperation depends on whether the chips given by both parties and the value generated in the future are equal. The drawings in my hand are the chips."

"Sigh~~~"

Luo Ye took a deep breath and said, "You didn't study professional courses before. You didn't learn how to be a qualified businessman, did you?"

"No, this thing can't be learned. It's self-taught."

"sharp."

After Lin Yi and Luo Ye arrived at their destination, they met the manager named Chu Sheng, who was tall and thin and wearing rimless glasses.

When Luo Ye saw the other person, he thought it was the manager's secretary, because the other person looked to be only in his early thirties, which was a bit too young to be the manager of such a large branch.

It was not until Lin Yi started talking to the other party that he realized that this person was the manager.

"Hello, Manager Chu. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No, no, I didn't expect you two to be so young."

Lin Yi and Chu Sheng exchanged some simple pleasantries and then got straight to the point.

Lin Yi and Chu Sheng discussed the future prospects of this new energy vehicle, and their views were almost the same.

After looking at the drawings drawn by Lin Yi, Chu Sheng was also shocked. Although most of the structures on the drawings were the basic frames of the cars, there were also many structures that he had never seen before.

Moreover, the fact that he was able to draw those frameworks by himself proves that Lin Yi is at least a senior mechanical draftsman. A university graduate does not have such ability.

After seeing that the other party was interested and had the inclination to cooperate, Lin Yi began to discuss the conditions. His requirements were simple: to provide him with a six-person R&D team and a production workshop.

Lin Yi didn't say what he would provide to the other party, he let Chu Sheng speak for himself.

Unexpectedly, the other party laughed after hearing this: "Brother Lin Yi, your request is too high, isn't it? I provide both the workshop and the manpower." Lin Yi also laughed: "Then Manager Chu, tell me your conditions."

"I can agree to these conditions, but you have to agree to the following conditions. First, you can create your own brand, but it has to be a sub-brand of our Guanggang."

"Secondly, Guanggang will enjoy 70% of the profits after the business grows bigger. And if the business expands in the future, we will not support your capital expenditures for expanding the factory and hiring more people."

"Ah!"

Lin Yi sneered when he heard it.

Chu Sheng continued, "I know this condition is a bit high, but in your initial start-up phase, I can provide you with all the financial and human support, and help with press conferences and publicity later."

"You have to know that everything starts with a good reputation. You don't have to worry about not making money."

Lin Yi didn't listen to the benefits Chu Sheng said later, but confirmed the conditions he offered: "You said we have to become your sub-brand?"

"Yes, so that I can promote you in the name of Guanggang."

"Then the profit will be split 30% to 70% and we'll take 30%?"

"Yes, you have to know that by the time you expand, the scale will be quite large, and 30% of the profit is also a huge number."

"Finally, will the funds for future expansion be included in this 30%?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll have to beg for food on my knees!"

Lin Yi suddenly raised his voice, which scared Luo Ye.

Chu Sheng didn't expect Lin Yi to be so magnanimous, but he remained calm and said to him with a professional fake smile: "Brother Lin Yi, you can't say that."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. We have solved all the troubles for you and created conditions for you to succeed. It is normal to get more."

"Besides, when it comes to making money, it's enough to just spend. One small goal can't be spent by one person, and two small goals can't be spent by one person. There's no point in having more."

"Ha! Thank you, Manager Chu, for helping me think so far ahead. A small goal is still too far-fetched for me."

Lin Yi picked up the folder and stood up: "Sorry for wasting so much of your time, goodbye."

After saying that, Lin Yi left, and Luo Ye followed him. After they got outside, he asked Lin Yi, "Are we just leaving like this? Without bargaining with him?"

"Damn it! That bastard treated us like beggars. What is he bargaining for? Thirty percent? How can he be so shameless as to say that?"

Lin Yi was so angry that he laughed: "They also want us to use 30% to maintain operations. When we make a lot of money, they take more. When we make less money, I have to find a way to make up for the losses myself, right?"

"."

After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, Luo Ye felt that this guy really didn't treat them as human beings. It was obvious that Chu Sheng treated them as an investment that was sure to make money.

"Damn it, this is so damn unlucky, let's go home!"

"Why don't you talk to the remaining two families?"

"Tomorrow! What time is it? Aren't you going to pick up your wife?"

"Oh."

　I'm working overtime, so another chapter will be late.
