The Black Card - Chapter 1418

[Chapter 1415 The landlord’s family has no food left.]

After hearing Shi Lei’s words, the other party was stunned. He pondered hard for a while, trying to understand the full content of Shi Lei’s words.

In fact, there is not much content, but Shi Lei wants to dig this company into the country so that their technology can be integrated with the domestic technology.

This idea did not come about because the other party wanted Shi Lei to be the sole investor, but because Shi Lei had already thought about it before coming to them. It was just that the other party made a request, and it seemed more logical for Shi Lei to make this request again.

This company was founded by four Stanford students. After graduating from Ph.D., they stayed at Stanford as a postdoc for a year, and then this technology was born.

Then he found angel investment, left Stanford, and founded this company.

The four students are all the type who received full scholarships all the way to Ph.D., and their family backgrounds are very ordinary. If it were not for the postdoctoral research conditions provided by Stanford, it would be impossible to create this company.

Because of this, they had a unified understanding at the beginning of their business and hoped that the company’s equity structure could be simpler.

When they accepted angel investment, they also took this into consideration. The person who invested in them had made a verbal promise that he was willing to continue investing in their Series A round.

But for some unknown reason, when they needed to raise Series A financing, they found the investor, but the other party refused to continue investing, so they had to turn their attention back to the investment circle.

Coincidentally, Shi Lei happened to know the investor, and Shi Lei believed that he had the ability to convince the investor to allow the company to change its course, leave the United States, and settle in China.

That’s why Shi Lei has this problem now.

But after all, this is an issue related to the future survival of the company. For Shi Lei, it is best if the negotiation can be successful, and there will be no loss if the negotiation is not successful.

But to the other party’s ears, it was like thunder.

After thinking about it for a long time, the CFO said: “Mr. Shi, how could you… Well, please forgive me, this request is a bit strange.”

Shi Lei smiled slightly and said: “I don’t want to hide anything, I am a Chinese, and we are Chinese We have always been at a disadvantage in terms of microprocessors. Your technology is innovative, but for the United States, please forgive me, it is not a special breakthrough. So there must be people paying attention to you, but it is just a regular investment. . I have checked that your technology can complement the technology of many companies in China. This will make your technology more complete, and I believe that companies in China are very willing to do business with you. Resource sharing. This is a win-win thing. Therefore, I sincerely extend an invitation to you, hoping that you can leave the United States and go to China. What I can promise is to make your future equity structure simple enough. A I will invest in rounds B and C, as long as you are willing, I can invest solely…”

The CFO quickly waved his hand and said: “Mr. Shi, I can understand what you mean, but although our company is temporarily closed, No equity division has been made at the personal level, but after all, it has gone through the angel round. Therefore, it is almost impossible to completely transfer this company to China from the angel round investors alone. Even more Let’s not talk about things like technology output.”

“The investor in the angel round is Mr. Jack Manfrees, right? I am very familiar with him. If you know more about me, you will find that I now live in The house was sold to me by Mr. Frith. If you are really only worried about Mr. Frith, then leave it to me to convince him.”

The CFO raised his head and said deeply Looking at Shi Lei, he finally realized that Shi Lei’s request was not a sudden thought, but a plan.

At this point, Shi Lei has stated all the conditions he can offer, as well as the requirements. However, this requirement is by no means something that the CFO can decide independently.

The negotiations between the two parties were without any obstacles from beginning to end, except for this point.

Therefore, he did not feel that it was necessary to continue this negotiation. What he needed to do was to go back and negotiate with the other three founders and then make a decision.

Agree or object before proceeding to the next step of negotiation.

Therefore, he looked at Shi Lei again and said: “Mr. Shi, I’m sorry, today’s negotiation can only end here. I personally have no objection to leaving the United States. If you can really convince Mr. Frith, I think you should There are ways to solve the problem of technology output. I understand your request, but I need to discuss it with my partners.”

Shi Lei also nodded and said: “Three days, I hope your discussion will not exceed three days.”

” No, I will contact Mr. Shi again within 24 hours. However, I may invite Mr. Shi to our company at that time. This kind of decision is related to the future of the company, regardless of whether it can meet Mr. Shi’s expectations. The requirement is that all four of us must be present together.”

Shi Lei nodded. As expected, the otaku from the Department of Psychology was very resolute. A problem that could be solved with one line of code would never be extended to three lines.

“Then I hope we can reach a consensus.”

The two shook hands and said goodbye.

Then Shi Lei contacted another company. The other company insisted on a valuation of 90 million, but Shi Lei believed that the best valuation he could only give was 80 million, so this negotiation was not too exciting. Too pleasant.

Of course, neither party has said anything, but they just said they would give it another thought.

After a stroll, we arrived at Jackman’s new residence.

Although it is said to be a new residence, I have actually lived in it for a year.

When the housekeeper saw that it was Shi Lei, he opened the door for him without notifying Jackman at all, and then informed Jackman that Shi Lei was here.

Jackman came out to greet him personally and said from afar: “Mr. Shi, if you don’t come to me, I will go to you. Rogers is dead, but our money is still missing.”

Shi Lei smiled and told Jack Man hugged him and said, “I really can’t help you. The situation was actually much more dangerous than Mr. Frith imagined. I almost didn’t live to see you again.”

“For this matter, I have been impeached by many people in the consortium, and I have lost my position as chairman of the consortium. Moreover, in order to appease the anger of shareholders and trace the whereabouts of Rogers, I alone bear 80% of the losses. Within a year, I sold the house to you, and I finally got over it. Because I had to bear 80% of the cost, I was penniless again.” Of course, being

penniless was nonsense, but Shi Lei immediately understood why Jackman originally promised I would continue to invest in that company in Series A, but now I have broken my promise.

“This does seem to have something to do with me. Although I didn’t know this, now that I know it, I think I should probably make some compensation to Mr. Freese.” “Compensation

?” Jackman was obviously taken aback. .

They are all fox demons of thousands of years, so don’t talk to anyone about chatting with anyone. Of course, Jackman knew that Shi Lei was definitely not planning to give him a sum of money directly, but that he wanted to cooperate with him on a certain project.

“Let’s talk about it first.” Jackman invited Shi Lei into the room. After the guests and the host were seated, he asked the servant to bring a bottle of wine and each poured a glass.

“Mr. Shi, what can you do to take care of me?”

“I can’t talk about taking care of you. I have an investment that I want to talk to Mr. Freese.” A

wry smile suddenly appeared on Jackman’s face. He sighed deeply and thought to himself The landlord’s family doesn’t have any food left.
