"Mr. Lin, this is my final bottom line!"
"Okay, deal!"
"Then I'll draft an investment and shareholding agreement in a couple of days and then notify General Manager Lin to come and sign it."
"No need, I brought it."
"ah?"
Lin Chen gestured for Zhang Yiming to take out the contract, then filled in the amount and shareholding ratio, making three copies.
Liu Zihong was dumbfounded. Wait, aren't you a landlord? Why are you carrying such a professional investment and shareholding contract with you?
Liu Zihong took the contract from Zhang Yiming and asked a question.
"Dude, what exactly do you guys do?"
Zhang Yiming's lips twitched. Goodness, you finally realized it. If you had been any slower, you would have been sold out by your own boss.
Seeing that Zhang Yiming did not answer, Liu Zihong picked up the contract and began to read it.
He was bored in college, so he studied law on his own for a while. If he hadn't thought taking the bar exam was too much of a waste of time, he might have taken the bar exam and gotten a lawyer's license.
After reviewing the contract, he found no problems whatsoever, which only made him more puzzled. Was this Mr. Lin a legitimate landlord?
However, since there were no problems with the contract, he wasn't worried that this Mr. Lin didn't have money. After all, this one floor alone was worth tens of millions, and he had heard that the floor above it also belonged to him.
Ah, what an enviable life of collecting rent!
Although giving away a lot of shares was a bit much, there was no other way; this money was a lifesaver, saving the company's life!
My life is almost over, why would I care about these things?
Only by surviving can one unlock limitless possibilities.
At this moment, Liu Zihong was planning to make some money from the project at hand and then build up his team and clients.
He'll secretly use this company to research his new project, and once it's successful, he'll abscond with his team and clients, leaving Mr. Lin with an empty shell company.
Hmph, perfect.
"Mr. Lin, I've signed it."
Zhang Yiming took the contract, glanced at it, and nodded to Lin Chen, indicating that there was no problem.
Lin Chen said happily.
"Young man, let me tell you, you've hit the jackpot, you know? Do you know who I am?"
"Um, Mr. Lin, aren't you the landlord?"
"Actually, I have another identity."
"Huh? What's your identity? Could you be some kind of hidden big shot?"
"Hey, young man, you have good taste. Come on, Lao Zhang, give him a little lesson."
Zhang Yiming couldn't accept such an embarrassing explanation of science, so he took out his phone, opened Lin Chen's Baidu Encyclopedia entry, and handed it to Liu Zihong.
Liu Zihong took the phone with a puzzled look, then his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
He rubbed his eyes, glanced at the photo on Baidu Baike, and then looked up at the landlord standing in front of him.
The person before us is:
The owner and president of Xingchen Technology.
Vice President of Xiaomi Technology.
Leader of a leading internet company in Shanghai.
The number one traffic referral platform in the industry.
The number one third-party payment software in the industry.
The number one live streaming platform in the industry.
The number one group-buying platform in the industry.
The number one food delivery platform in the industry.
The number one online shopping platform in the industry.
Every time Liu Zihong read one of these, he swallowed hard. Good heavens, I actually owe rent to such a big shot?
No, you're so rich, your net worth must be in the hundreds of billions, why are you still thinking about my rent?
Are all rich people this bored?
I wish I could live such a boring life!
"Ahem, Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to really be Mr. Lin."
"Huh? If I weren't President Lin, why would you call me President Lin?"
"Ahem, that's not what I meant. What I meant was... you look really handsome when you collect rent!"
"Haha, not bad, young man. Now that I'm a major shareholder, you can use this floor for free from now on. Come to our Xingchen Technology headquarters tomorrow and we'll have a good chat about your current project."
"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Lin."
"No need to thank me, you're making money for me anyway."
After Lin Chen left, Liu Zihong breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his office to make himself a cup of coffee.
Great! This crisis is over. We not only saved the company, but also had our rent reduced, and even secured a ten million investment.
He was right at the beginning; his project was indeed initially valued at 200 million.
The problem is that he has no idea where his experiment went wrong. Why is it that the theoretical calculations are completely correct, and the experiment was conducted before and it was feasible, but now it doesn't work?
It was as if some unseen force was hindering him from achieving his goal, leaving him completely baffled.
He dared not tell Lin Chen about this problem. If the project could not be realized, it would be a pile of garbage, completely meaningless. It wouldn't even be worth two hundred yuan, let alone two hundred million.
Now that he has ten million, he can continue his research. Even if Lin Chen takes 70% of the shares, he will still make a profit. Otherwise, without the money to continue his research, the project would have no chance of turning things around.
However, after learning Lin Chen's true identity, Liu Zihong thought about it carefully and realized that it might not be a bad thing for him. His startup project was a flexible screen technology, which he originally envisioned for use on mobile phone screens.
Imagine this: while other people's phones are still bricks, your phone can be folded and bent at will. Wouldn't that be incredibly cool and awesome?
However, he didn't know any big names in the mobile phone industry, so after founding Royole Corporation, his initial idea was to start with outdoor large screens, and after achieving certain results, he would then seek cooperation with smartphone manufacturers and move on to small screens.
Now it's unnecessary. Among domestic smartphone manufacturers, is there any bigger than Xiaomi? Moreover, Baidu Baike just said that Lin Chen is the chief designer of Xiaomi phones!
However, all of this is based on the premise that you can find out why the experiment failed.
After finishing his coffee, Liu Zihong finally sorted out his thoughts and went back to doing his experiments.
"Where exactly does the problem lie?"
Liu Zihong refused to believe it and conducted the experiment again, and then he was surprised to find that it was a success!
Huh? This is exactly the same procedure I used in my previous experiments, how come it works again?
Although the experiment was a success, it was a good thing. He had just sold 70% of the shares. If Lin Chen had arrived even half a day later, he wouldn't have bothered to even glance at the 10 million.
Who the hell can I complain to?!
After returning to headquarters, Lin Chen went to Xiaomi.
"Brother Jun, I've found a team that's researching flexible screens."
'Oh? Then let's go pay them a visit right away.'
"No need. I invested a sum of money in him and acquired 70% of their company's shares. Now I am the major shareholder."
"Hey bro, you can't pay for this all by yourself. This isn't a small amount; it's at least seven or eight hundred million. Here's what I'll do: I'll have the finance department transfer the money to your account in a bit."
