After Lu Zhou left the house. Yang, he thought for a long time.


A person's energy is limited, not to mention, he is not interested in running a business.


He's an academic and he just has to do his job well. As for the product operations and management of the company, he could leave it to someone who was an expert at it.


He felt like his battlefield was in a laboratory, not a meeting. Obviously it's not in the CEO's office.


Chen Yushan would be a good choice, but his management talent was more for a mid to late stage company, and his small startup [Campus Train] had no room for him. Not to mention, he was taking a master's degree and he didn't have time to help Lu Zhou.


Lu Zhou returned to his dorm and thought for a long time before finally thinking of someone. He then walked to the balcony and made a phone call.


When the other end raised, the voice of the fat man came, "Hey, Lu Zhou, what's up?"


Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Wu, where did you set up the bank recently?"


“Create what bank. I just did a few small projects for the task. I've got to congratulate you. In the future, there will be another deity on the list of alumni of Jin Ling University. Getting to the point, do you still want to work part-time? I'm not going to hire you! "Fat Wu Movement.


"No," said Lu Zhou. He smiled and said, "I just want to ask, are you interested in making a bank together."


Fat Wu paused for a moment and thought for a moment before asking, "... Campus Train?"


Lu Zhou, "Yes."


"How about this? Let's meet up. We need to talk about this directly. ”


Lu Zhou thought about it and it made sense.


There is no point in talking about these kinds of things over the phone as it is.


“Oke, tomorrow at five. Let's meet outside the fish restaurant near the school gate. ”


...


The next day, at five in the afternoon, Lu Zhou arrived on time. When he saw Fat Wu who was wearing a black t-shirt and sitting on the bench, he waved at him.


Lu Zhou looked at his shirt and said, “You just wore that shirt? Are you not cold? "


It's late October and late autumn. Lu Zhou himself was already wearing a jacket.


"I'm fat, hold cold. I was also like this during the winter, ” Fat Wu said with a smile. He pulled up a chair and said, “Come and sit down. I ordered grilled fish. Go and order whatever you want. When the fish come, let's drink and talk. "


Lu Zhou said, "Let's have some tea. We shouldn't talk about business when we're drunk. ”


Fat Wu smiled and said, "Sure, whatever you want."


Fat Wu was a pretty great guy while taking care of Lu Zhou when Lu Zhou was still working part-time. Therefore, when Lu Zhou had this good opportunity, he immediately thought of Fat Wu.


Of course, that was not the only reason why he thought of Fat Wu. The real reason Lu Zhou discovered it was because he imagined his ability, in particular, emotional intelligence and organizational skills.


Those two skills were exactly what Lu Zhou did not have.


When the food arrived, he poured tea for Lu Zhou and himself before he smiled and said, "The train station in our city ... It's impossible to get a taxi in there. Normal taxis do not go there and unlicensed taxis are the only way to go. Now that I use your app for carpool, it saves me some money and I get to meet some cool friends. I'm quite envious of your brain. I could never think of anything like this. ”


Lu Zhou smiled and replied, "I just did it as a random exercise."


“Nutty randomly codes apps with hundreds of thousands of users. I get it now. When I compare myself to geniuses like you, I feel like I am not cut off to learn at all, ” Fat Wu said as she shook her head and sighed. He filled his teacup and smiled before saying, “Tell me, why are you here? Get to the point. "


"Are you interested in pursuing this project together?"


"You want me to join the company?" Fat Wu asked as he looked at Lu Zhou with an astonished expression.


Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Yes."


Fat Wu did not directly accept. Instead, he asked, "Why me?"


"I'll get to the point?"


Fat Wu smiled and said, "Just tell me, we're both here, stop convoluted."


“This is actually because I don't have the energy for this and also I don't have organizational skills. Moreover, not only do you not pass the entrance examination, but you also have experience, ” Lu Zhou said. He smiled and continued, "Of course, my premonition is the main reason."


"A gut feeling is your main reason?" Fat Wu said with a smile. He paused for a moment before asking, “Then, tell me your plan. What do you want me to do? "


“Simplely, I want to expand the Campus Train project. Be it to get financing and go public or just sell the app as a whole. The beautiful and sophisticated value of paper is a must. I admit that business is not my cup of tea. I like to do research. Therefore, I needed to find someone with strong organizational skills and management experience to help me. ”


Fat Wu nodded and said, "So, you want to hire me to manage the company?"


"That's right," Lu Zhou said as he nodded. He then added, "I can offer you two options."


“The first one is after the angel financing round, I will take a 5% stake in Campus Train from my share and give it to you. When and if we sell the company, you will get 5% of the sale. We can write this into a contract. "


"As for the other options, I'll pay you a salary. 8k per month, plus maybe a bonus. ”


Lu Zhou looked at the man and asked, "Which one did you choose?"


Fat Wu was silent for a moment. He closed his eyes and started thinking.


If you can't get a round of angel financing, then there's no point talking about 5% shares. Internet companies are not worth capital without capital and equity would be worthless paper. However, if you get angel financing, the company will be worth at least a million yuan and 5% of it is already 50,000 yuan.


As for the second option, this is much safer. 8000 salary plus bonus commission. For a recent math graduate, that salary was pretty good. Not all math students can transfer their knowledge to Wall Street. I know exactly how much I am worth.


If I choose the second option ...


It's not like me.


Fat Wu thought about it for half a minute. He then opened his eyes and said, “I'm someone who likes a challenge. I don't want to work until I die. I'll choose the first one. "


"I guess you will choose this one," Lu Zhou said with a smile. He then reached out and said, "From now on, we are business partners."


Fat Wu shook Lu Zhou's hand and smiled kindly as he said, "I hope we enjoy working together."


"Welcome to work together!"
