Chapter 7 The First Pot of Gold
Seeing Zhang Chen, Wang Lele waved to him from a distance.
Zhang Chen walked over quickly.
"Lele, who are you waiting for?"
"Tian Bo asked me to wait for you here. He wanted to contact you yesterday. He has been walking around his office this morning, looking very anxious."
"Okay, let's go there quickly."
"Brother, you are so awesome. You actually started your own business. Was the report you gave me yesterday really produced by your company?"
Although Wang Lele is cute, her professionalism is not bad. She knows that no company can achieve that level now. What's even more surprising is that Zhang Chen actually started his own business.
"Lele, if you feel uncomfortable staying here, you can come to work in my company."
Zhang Chenguang started recruiting people in broad daylight. He still needed a technician to operate the equipment, and Wang Lele was just the right one.
"That's great. Senior brother, you don't know. After you left, Zhou Bo always squeezed me and asked me to do some chores. I never had any free time."
Wang Lele's eyes lit up, she was looking for her next company.
The past two days had exhausted her. Zhou Qingfang had even left the physical work to a little girl like her. He even had to ask her to replace the bottled water in his office. How could her small body withstand the torment.
"Okay, then tell Tian Bo as soon as possible. I will give you 15,000 yuan a month, full five insurances and one housing fund, including food and accommodation, if you are willing to live there."
When it came to housing, Zhang Chen lost his confidence. After all, it was a factory renovated. If he, a grown man, could handle it, a little girl might not be able to handle it.
Why don't you go give the construction company some extra money tomorrow and renovate the dormitory?
He asked Wang Lele to go about his business and arrived at Tian Wenbin's office with ease.
Sure enough, I saw that Tian Wenbin had changed from his previous calmness and kept pacing in the office, taking out his mobile phone to take a look from time to time.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Chen quickly knocked on the door and entered.
Tian Wenbin turned around and saw Zhang Chen, and was immediately overjoyed.
"Zhang Chen, can the quality of your sequencing be stable?"
As soon as he sat down, Tian Wenbin asked directly to the core point.
Zhang Chen smiled and nodded: "We can absolutely guarantee that the sequencing quality will be consistent every time. Tian Bo, this is the raw data I brought. You can take a look."
Tian Wenbin quickly took the USB disk and read it on the computer.
After more than ten minutes, he was completely relieved. His biggest worry was that such a result would not be repeatable. Now that he saw the data in person, he was relieved of his worries.
"It's like this. The company recently wants to develop small nucleic acid drugs, and this kind of sequencing quality is very important for small nucleic acid projects. Such accurate sequencing can be said to be a powerful tool for the development of small nucleic acid drugs, which can save at least half of the research and development costs.
, while also saving a lot of research and development time.”
Tian Wenbin said something that Zhang Chen didn't know, paused, and then said: "I plan to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with you. In the future, all projects I will be responsible for, as long as they involve sequencing, I plan to test them with you.
, it will not be easy for your company to start up, I will deposit one million with you first, so you can work hard."
Zhang Chen was completely confused. One million. His first business deal was made directly to one million.
Tian Wenbin had told him to work hard many times before, and undoubtedly this time was the most touching to him.
"Thank you very much. I will prioritize your sequencing in the future."
"The quality of your sequencing far exceeds the quality of third-generation sequencing. Does it cost 20,000 to 30,000 per sample?"
When Tian Wenbin mentioned the price issue, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be stunned. He hadn't figured out how to price it yet.
The third-generation sequencing currently on the market generally costs between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan per sample. Of course, it also depends on the sequencing depth and data volume, but the price is roughly the same.
So how does he set the price now?
The cost is electricity plus water. It’s a bit embarrassing to set the price too high, but it will also cause problems if the price is too low.
This is how many people buy things. When they see something being sold at a low price, they will immediately suspect that there is something wrong with the quality of the thing.
Zhang Chen thought about it in his mind for a while, and finally made a decision, saying: "Tian Bo, I'll give you a sample price of 5,000."
"So little? Is it the same sequencing quality as yesterday? Don't deliberately lower the price in order to repay me. It's completely unnecessary. That's not how you do business."
"Tian Bo, don't worry, I have channels, and the cost is very low. Five thousand is yesterday's quality that exceeds the third-generation sequencing. One sample of three thousand can only have the same sequencing quality as the third generation. Five hundred is the second-generation sequencing."
, as for one-generation sequencing, it depends on the number of sequencing reactions, one reaction costs one yuan.”
Tian Wenbin looked blank. What kind of price is this?
"Zhang Chen, don't lose money. If this is the case, I will increase the deposit to two million. The amount of sequencing will be huge in the future."
"Okay, then I..."
Before Zhang Chen finished speaking, someone opened the door and came in without knocking.
"Lao Tian, I have something to ask you...uh? Zhang Chen, why are you here?"
Zhang Chen looked back and saw Zhou Qingfang walking in with his waist twisted, chest raised and head raised, wanting to point his chin at everyone.
His brows suddenly furrowed, not wanting to look good on Zhou Qingfang at all.
"What, this is your office? Did I step on your ground? Why can't I be here?"
"Um, didn't you leave your job? What are you still doing here?"
Just when Zhang Chen wanted to fight back, Tian Wenbin immediately said in a calm voice: "I found Zhang Chen and we are discussing cooperation. What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing. What kind of cooperation are you talking about?"
"I plan to do all sequencing in Zhang Chen's company in the future."
After Zhou Qingfang listened, he didn't take it seriously.
In his opinion, Zhang Chen must have gotten some money to buy instruments, and then recruited people he knew from everywhere to be guinea pigs. Tian Wenbin has always been easy to talk to, so he became Zhang Chen's first target.
"Lao Tian, you have to think carefully. Don't we cooperate well with Jin Weizhi?"
"If there's a better place, it's natural to change it... Hey, Xiao Yang, prepare a service agreement and send it to my office."
Tian Wenbin didn't explain much, picked up the landline and started asking the legal person to prepare the contract.
"Lao Tian, you can't do this. It would be bad if the boss knew about it."
Tian Wenbin raised his head and took a deep look at Zhou Qingfang.
He felt that since he introduced Zhou Qingfang to this company, he had begun to secretly oppose him. He was a little suspicious of whether his junior brother had other ideas.
Tian Wenbin is not stupid. On the contrary, he sees things more clearly than many people. Otherwise, he would not be in his current position just based on his academic qualifications.
"If you want to explain it, just take a look at this report."
Tian Wenbin pushed the laptop to Zhou Qingfang, and then started chatting with Zhang Chen.
Zhou Qingfang looked at it carefully.
He really wanted to replace Tian Wenbin. Who wouldn't want to climb higher? There happened to be someone who looked easy to bully.
About ten minutes later.
"Is this a report from Zhang Chen's company?"
"It's not from me, it's from you? Do you have this level? If you have nothing to do, please come out. I'm going to discuss specific cooperation matters with Tian Bo now."
Zhang Chen was very annoyed by Zhou Qingfang, and it took more than two years for him to thoroughly understand Zhou Qingfang, a villain.
