Chapter 643: Chapter 662: Mei Lin Becomes a Small Shareholder
Jiang Qiuqiu asked Miss Meilin for her opinion.
Miss Meilin was shocked when she heard. "Rent?"
"Why rent? I can just give them to you. It’s a mainframe and mechanical brain I bought when I wanted to make a holographic game. They’re just sitting at home gathering dust."
Qian Xingxing was also stunned. "How could you just give it away? This is far too valuable."
Acting as a go-between like this was exhausting. Jiang Qiuqiu pointed out that since they were both on each other’s friends list, they could just talk directly.
And so, Little President Qian and Miss Meilin began a short discussion.
One wanted to pay, the other didn’t want the money. In the end, Qian Xingxing and Mei Lin negotiated a deal: Mei Lin would use the Level 6 mainframe and mechanical brain to buy a stake in New Star, becoming a minor shareholder.
The most immediate problem was finally alleviated.
The Level 6 mainframe and mechanical brain could be linked to the Level 5 one they already had through special means, allowing them to achieve much greater performance.
While it wouldn’t solve the problem completely, it should prevent large-scale blackouts...
But thinking about it that way, the future still seemed bleak. Even if they wouldn’t suffer a massive failure, glitches were still unavoidable.
However, after gaining the status of a shareholder, along with some minor shareholder perks and a batch of milk mochi handmade by Jiang Qiuqiu, Mei Lin was over the moon.
’I’m a boss!!’
Miss Meilin had experienced many things in her life, but being a boss... this was a first!
And she’d get to work with people she genuinely admired.
Plus, since she had recently started studying financial theory for nobles, she suddenly felt her studies weren’t as hollow as before.
’Maybe I can even attend company meetings in the future!’
Feeling fired up, Miss Meilin went to class the next day and shared the news that she’d become the co-owner of a company with a few classmates she got along with.
The moment they heard, they all exclaimed in awe, saying that the Duke’s daughter was truly different. They were all just sent here by their families to pad their resumes; all they did was attend classes. Starting a company was something they wouldn’t even dream of.
Amid the endless praise, someone asked, "What company is it?"
Mei Lin didn’t hide it, stating directly, "New Star Live Broadcast Company."
Everyone let out a soft "Oh," then looked it up on the Star Network. After discovering it was just some no-name company plagued by all sorts of glitches, their expressions turned dismissive.
And they asked curiously, "Miss Meilin, why would you invest in such a shoddy company?"
"It has no investment potential whatsoever."
"You’d get a better return investing in Balabala Company."
And also, why invest in the live broadcast industry? It was too messy, not a suitable field for a girl to get involved in, and so on and so forth.
It was all said in a complimentary, ’we’re just looking out for you’ tone.
But it made Mei Lin’s face fall instantly.
’Disgusting.’
-
After returning to her dorm, Mei Lin slammed her book onto the bed. Then she opened her terminal and deleted every single person who had gathered around her to talk that day.
"I really hate this department."
Mei Lin huffed. "So annoying."
"Why do I have to attend classes in this stupid-ass place? I think everyone in class is a moron—sucking up to the powerful and kicking down the weak. It’s so damn annoying. I never want to see them again."
"What’s wrong with my company? My company is great!"
The new co-owner clearly couldn’t tolerate outsiders showing the slightest dissatisfaction with her company.
"You think it’s small? Just you wait! This company will become the biggest live broadcast company in the entire Federation!"
"Isn’t that right, Jiang Jiang?"
Jiang Jiang’s expression wasn’t good either. He had been accompanying Mei Lin to her classes all this time.
