Chapter 126: Never Underestimate a One Ten-Thousandth Share! (Part 2/2)

“Okay.”

Then, everyone went to bed to rest.

Tang Feng returned to the dormitory and shared his idea of starting a company with Su Ming and others.

“Boss, I really didn’t expect you to be planning to start an internet company! Where is the chat tool you developed? Can we try it out?” Zhu Zihan was already eager.

“No problem!” Tang Feng agreed very readily.

He installed the uu chat software on Su Ming and the others’ computers.

“Since there’s no server support yet, this chat software is currently standalone. However, you can still try out its features,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Boss, this interface seems more streamlined compared to QQ,” Su Ming commented.

“Today’s chat software’s main function is for chatting. Making it overly fancy is pointless and can even affect user experience,” Tang Feng explained.

“Boss, when will this chat software officially launch? We want to be the first batch of users,” Zhu Zihan asked.

“If nothing goes wrong, it will be online within three days. If you’re free then, you can come to the company to help. I hope to have as many users as possible using this chat software in the shortest time,” Tang Feng answered.

“We can promote this chat software in internet cafes in Jingcheng. Additionally, we can also go to various universities to promote it, encouraging everyone to use it,” Zhang Hao suggested.

“It’s best to have more female users,” Tang Feng said.

“Female users? Why is that?” Su Ming was puzzled.

“It can attract male users. Essentially, a chat tool is more like a social networking app. As long as there are enough female users, male users will naturally follow,” Tang Feng answered.

“I think the boss is right! We should try to get female users to download this chat software,” Zhu Zihan said.

“Boss, you’re now a celebrity in our school! I believe just a call to action on the school’s BBS forum from you would get many girls to download this chat software,” Zhang Hao suggested.

“I plan to promote this chat software during an interview after the World Championship,” Tang Feng said.

“That’s a great idea! Maybe even foreigners will download this chat software,” Su Ming suddenly brightened up.

“The prerequisite is that the national basketball team wins the championship! Only with a championship can we attract the world’s attention. Otherwise, even if there’s an interview, the promotional effect will be greatly diminished,” Tang Feng said, frowning slightly.

“Boss, with your basketball skills and Yao Ming on the team, winning the championship should be no problem!” Zhu Zihan said.

Tang Feng smiled, saying, “I hope so. Anyway, no matter what, I will give it my all.”

“Boss, when is the company starting? If there’s anything we can help with, don’t hesitate to ask,” Su Ming inquired.

“If all goes well, it’ll be in the next day or two. I’ll let you know,” Tang Feng answered.

“The next day or two? Boss, that’s incredibly fast!” Zhu Zihan and others were very surprised.

“I want to get the company started before I leave the country. This way, the chat software can be promoted while I’m away competing,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“But the company will need to hire people, right? Don’t tell me you’re just expecting us to help out?” Su Ming asked.

“Of course not,” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “I plan to hire some senior computer science students. It’s about time for them to find internships. If they perform well, they could stay after graduation.”

“Boss, are you feverish? You want our school’s senior students to intern at your startup? How much water would they have to have in their brains to agree?” Zhu Zihan’s face was filled with an exaggerated expression.

“I believe there will be volunteers. If they stay, they could potentially become millionaires,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Boss, you really have the potential to be a boss. The company hasn’t even started, and you’re already painting big pictures,” Zhang Hao joked.

“What I’m saying is true! If you guys do well, I’ll also give you a share of the company! Once the company goes public, you could become millionaires, even multimillionaires!” Tang Feng was full of confidence.

“Boss, we don’t want shares! You help us all the time, helping you out is the least we can do,” Su Ming quickly refused.

“It’s my intention, you have to accept it! No matter what, I won’t let you guys down,” Tang Feng said.

Su Ming and the others just smiled.

Tang Feng talked with them a little longer, then went to bed.

The next morning, he went to the cafeteria with Su Xiaoli for breakfast.

“Brother Feng, I already talked to Ning Xiao and the others last night! They said they could help out at the company for free,” Su Xiaoli said, picking up a piece of rib with her chopsticks and putting it into her mouth.

“They can’t do it for free! There must be compensation!” Tang Feng said.

“If you offer them money, they definitely won’t accept it. I think you can treat them to a meal,” Su Xiaoli suggested.

“A meal is a small matter. I told Su Ming and the others last night, and they also offered to help for free. However, I can’t accept that. I plan to give them some shares of the company,” Tang Feng said.

“How much are you planning to give them?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“I haven’t decided yet. But it definitely won’t be more than one percent,” Tang Feng answered.

“A ten million investment, one percent is one hundred thousand, which is already a significant amount,” Su Xiaoli said.

“I’m talking about the three people in our dorm plus the three people in your dorm, six people in total. Their shares combined won’t exceed one percent,” Tang Feng responded.

“Ah? Does that mean each person’s share is only one thousandth?” Su Xiaoli was very surprised.

“One thousandth is already quite a lot. Of course, as the company grows, their shares will be further diluted, eventually maybe even to one ten-thousandth,” Tang Feng said with a laugh.

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything.

She didn’t question Tang Feng’s decision.

She knew very well that Tang Feng had thought this through thoroughly.

“Don’t think one ten-thousandth is too little. If the company’s market value reaches one trillion, then one ten-thousandth is one hundred million! Even for graduates from Jingcheng University, earning this much money in ten years or even less time is not easy,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“A market value of one trillion? Brother Feng, you’re really daring!” Su Xiaoli exclaimed.

“One trillion is not a lot. Of course, talking about one trillion now might seem astronomical to you. But I believe that in the near future, the company will definitely achieve this goal,” Tang Feng was confident.

“I look forward to that day arriving soon,” Su Xiaoli said.
