Chapter 31: Three Hundred Million in Monthly Profit?

Before Liu Xuewei arrived, Su Xin hurried to the bank to activate the company account first; not long after he returned, Liu Xuewei arrived at the hotel entrance.

Seeing Liu Xuewei in person was even more stunning than in her photos.

She was wearing tight, acid-washed white jeans paired with a slightly loose, light yellow mohair sweater, and a brown sun hat on her head; her relaxed, casual outfit radiated a girlish, youthful vitality.

Coupled with that beautiful face and graceful figure, she fully captured the eyes of everyone around.

"Sorry, Boss, I've been traveling these days since I resigned, and the clothes I brought are all casual wear; I was in a rush to get here, so I didn't have time to change."

Seeing Su Xin look over her outfit carefully, Liu Xuewei said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's fine, this outfit looks quite good, and besides, my company hasn't even been set up yet, so it's not work hours; there's no need to be particular about these things, just do whatever is convenient for you."

Su Xin smiled.

Afterward, the two went to the front desk to handle the check-in procedures for Liu Xuewei; upon learning that Liu Xuewei could arrive today, Su Xin had already booked a room for her in advance, right next to his own.

After putting her luggage in the room, the two took the elevator together to the 26th floor and had a sumptuous lunch.

"Thank you for the treat, Boss!"

After coming out of the restroom having touched up her makeup, Liu Xuewei said in a sweet voice with a bright smile.

Su Xin waved his hand and laughed: "It's just a meal, it's nothing; you traveled a long way to get here, do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"

"No need, since the Boss is in a hurry, let's start working on the real business as soon as possible."

"Alright."

Su Xin was also efficient and said immediately: "Then let's go back to the room to discuss your contract terms, and then discuss the setup of the initial team."

For some reason, a flush of bright red appeared on Liu Xuewei's cheeks, and she nodded: "Okay."

Su Xin did not notice her abnormality; he brought Liu Xuewei back to his room and sat in the living room to start discussing the terms.

"What are your expectations for a monthly salary?"

When it came to business, Liu Xuewei also became serious, saying with a solemn face: "When I served as the Human Resources Director at my previous company, my monthly salary was around 200,000 until three months before I resigned; if you count the year-end bonus, it was between thirteen and eighteen months' salary per year."

"Because Tianqi Technology is just starting out and the capital pressure might be a bit high, I don't require it to be much higher than before, but the monthly salary must be at least over 100,000, and within three months at the latest, after I complete the tasks assigned by the Boss and successfully set up the team, and provided that performance targets are met, the salary must be raised to the same level as my previous one."

"After all, facing a new company starting from zero, the pressure I have to bear and the effort I need to put in are much higher than before."

"Of course, I can guarantee that my value will definitely be worthy of this salary."

Su Xin waved his hand and said generously:

"No problem, I'll give you a monthly salary of 200,000, and I can guarantee that after the three-month probation period, as long as the results you produce satisfy me, your salary can at least double."

Although Su Xin only had a net worth of a little over one million now, he knew that with the popularity of Tiantian Assistant, once it started charging fees next month, the company's cash flow would definitely skyrocket.

Because the number of users for Tiantian Assistant was already approaching fifty million; if calculated at a membership fee of 20 yuan per month, even if only ten percent of them paid, Tianqi Technology's first month's revenue would be around one hundred million.

Moreover, he had great confidence in the Tiantian Assistant he developed; the payment rate in the first month would definitely not be lower than thirty percent.

That would mean Tianqi Technology's first month's revenue would be at least three hundred million!

You have to know, this was only calculated based on the current number of users.

By the time a month passed, the number of users for Tiantian Assistant would definitely be even higher, and the number of paying users would naturally increase significantly; the monthly revenue should be far more than three hundred million.

The most critical thing was that he didn't have much R&D or hardware investment; the main operating costs were renting cloud servers, office building rent and property management fees, and employee salaries, etc.

And compared to the monthly revenue of hundreds of millions, this money was simply a drop in the bucket, with a profit margin as high as over ninety-nine percent.

Therefore, for Su Xin, this three hundred million in revenue could basically be understood as pure profit!

Three hundred million in profit in one month!

With such a hen that lays golden eggs, Su Xin naturally wouldn't be stingy with a mere monthly salary of 200,000; he knew that a qualified Chief Human Resources Officer could save him a lot of trouble.

After settling Liu Xuewei's salary, the two began to discuss the company's compensation system, recruitment plan, and Su Xin's requirements for the initial team.

Since he had hired a Human Resources Director at a high salary, Su Xin naturally wouldn't spend time handling these matters himself anymore, but would hand them over entirely to Liu Xuewei, only needing to supervise the results himself.

"Alright, the initial plan is set like this; next is to rent an office building and settle the company in."

As Su Xin said this, he took his phone out of his pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of them.

"Before you came, I had already picked out a few pretty good office buildings online; take a look and help me refer to them."

Liu Xuewei leaned down, flipped through the introductions of several office buildings on the phone, and asked casually: "I wonder what the Boss's budget is?"

Su Xin thought for a moment and said: "The actual payment is around 800,000; try not to exceed this number."

He currently had over 1.1 million in funds, of which he definitely had to keep a portion for emergencies and also buy office supplies; he had roughly calculated it before, and he needed to reserve at least 300,000.

Liu Xuewei looked up at him in surprise, then calculated in a low voice:

"The ones you are looking at are all 5A-grade office buildings in the capital's golden business district; the rent is not cheap. With a budget of only 800,000, according to the usual rental method of paying three months' rent as a deposit and paying three months in advance, I'm afraid the initial payment won't be enough, unless we talk to the landlord properly. If the other party agrees to a one-month deposit and three months' advance payment, or three months' deposit and one month's advance payment, we should be able to barely rent half a floor."

"If we choose slightly inferior office buildings, the capital pressure will be much smaller."

"Is it usually a three-month deposit and three months' advance payment? That is indeed a bit stressful."

Su Xin pondered for a moment, but still said: "Let's find the landlord and talk properly first; as long as we can successfully rent it, once Tiantian Assistant starts charging next month, the company won't have any capital pressure."

While speaking, the corner of Su Xin's eye suddenly caught a glimpse of an unusual sight.

At this moment, Liu Xuewei was sitting in the seat next to him, leaning down close to the coffee table to look at the phone; the slightly loose sweater on her upper body hung down naturally due to gravity, and when Su Xin met her gaze, the corner of his eye happened to see that fair cleavage inside her clothes.

"Cough, cough!"

Where had the eighteen-year-old Su Xin ever experienced such a test? For a moment, his heart was a bit chaotic, and he hurriedly looked away shyly.

Liu Xuewei was initially a bit surprised by Su Xin's movement, but she quickly reacted that her posture seemed a bit unseemly.

She looked down at her chest, then her face turned red, and she hurriedly sat up straight.

"That... it's getting late, let's hurry up and set off to discuss the office building rental issue."

Su Xin took the initiative to change the subject, trying to cover up the awkward scene just now.

Seeing Su Xin's flustered performance, Liu Xuewei herself was not as shy anymore; instead, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Su Xin's performance had always been relatively mature and steady, not at all like a high school student; plus the status issue between the two, and Su Xin's serious attitude when discussing business with her, made Liu Xuewei always feel a sense of distance in her heart.

But this scene now made her realize that no matter how mature and steady the other party was, he was ultimately just an eighteen-year-old high school student, not as unreachable as she had imagined.

The estrangement and barrier between the two seemed to vanish quite a bit all at once.
