Colt invited me for dinner yesterday in Guomao. He used to invite me for dinner this Monday but I had to wait for my landlord to pay the rents.
He tried his best to persuade me to join his company, although he was unwilling to give me any shares of his company. He explained that there is no difference between holding some shares of the company and merely sharing profits of business, an idea which he can only talk about theoretically and can not give me pragmatic salary package. His company has set up for more than one year and has not broken even. Therefore, his company can not afford my salary for sure. This is why I proposed him to give me some shares because as a stockholder, I could comfort myself that I am working for my own company although the pay is so low.
The atmosphere of the end of the dinner may be kind of uncomfortable. He kept saying that I do not admit the wrong decisions I made about my previous job selection. Nonetheless, I thought he was the person who was too confident to see his own weakness and to understand that each person has his or her own values. It was not necessarily wrong if I chose a different path from his.
I revealed to him that I might have four options for my current career path. Among these choices, the most possible is to create a start-up with my other friends. I stop convincing me after knowing my thoughts.
This talk makes me feel that there is no possibility for cooperation between his company and my future start-up, a beautiful plan I considered for a long time before today’s meeting.
