Chapter 7 World One [7]
Jing Ke hid her overly direct appreciation and praise. She did not explain too much to Shang Siyu, nor did she show her love for her.
Jing Ke just emphasized that if she had the chance to make a choice, she would choose Shang Siyu instead of Xue Fan at the beginning.
For Shang Siyu, Jing Ke's straightforward admission that she and Xue Fan had a relationship was actually beyond her expectations.
Later, when Shang Siyu heard Jing Ke say bluntly that she wanted to choose him, he couldn't help but feel an unexpected joy in his heart.
It seems that I am not too eager to treat Jing Ke as a friend. Jing Ke still appreciates me very much.
[Just a reminder, stopping work for half a month will only keep Xue Fan busy for a while, and won't cause any serious damage to him.]
Xue Fan was able to secure government-related projects, which meant he had a strong network of connections. Otherwise, if he had offended certain officials, it wouldn't have been as simple as failing the fire inspection.
"Okay, I've got that. I plan to actively cooperate with the authorities after I've made some achievements," said Shang Siyu.
This idea had nothing to do with Xue Fan. Shang Siyu had considered cooperating with relevant departments a long time ago.
Shang Siyu is well aware that the patent he holds has strong monetization potential, especially for those who are powerful but physically disabled, who will be very interested in this patent.
The prosthetic limbs they use may be sophisticated, but they are definitely not capable of establishing direct neural connections. They are basically at the stage of electrically stimulating neurons, and require a long time to adjust after use.
If the technology in my hands is further developed, it may be possible to achieve a level that is so realistic that the fake is indistinguishable from the real thing.
However, the consumption level of rich people is different from that of ordinary disabled people. Unless Shang Siyu only wants to promote its patent among the middle class and above, it is only a matter of time before it cooperates with relevant departments.
-
The day after Shang Siyu revealed her identity, Xue Fan got the relevant information through his own channels. However, at that time, he was in trouble with the fire department and was unable to help for a while.
By the time Xue Fan spent money to solve the problem and allowed the construction site to resume work, Shang Siyu had already set up the company's framework.
After hearing about the success of the project, the companies that had invested in the laboratory no longer cared about the previous unpleasantness and extended olive branches to Shang Siyu, leaving Xue Fan no chance to take action.
Thinking that the news he bought with money was not only false, but also indirectly made him offend certain officials, Xue Fan couldn't help but frown.
Xue Fan would not reflect on the fact that he was too anxious, nor would he think that his behavior was fundamentally wrong. He would only blame all the mistakes on Shang Siyu.
It was all Shang Siyu's fault for deliberately telling him the wrong news and even informing her uncles about it, so they deliberately made things difficult for him, causing him to suffer a loss.
"Is there any news on the matter I asked you to inquire about?" Xue Fan called his usual assistant to the office and asked with a stern face.
"Mr. Xue, the circle over there is very exclusive. I only heard that Xinsheng Technology has currently received an investment of about 30 million." The assistant said with his head down.
"That's it? Didn't they find out about the specific companies they invested in?" Xue Fan was very dissatisfied with the news. "Xinsheng Technology only has a few patents right now. They haven't even launched a production line or market yet. Don't they give it much thought before investing?"
"Mr. Xue, you may not know that the patent held by Xinsheng Technology is unique." The assistant said cautiously, controlling his tone.
Assistant: "Xinsheng Technology's technology is not only leading in China, but also very advanced abroad. If we don't invest early, they won't have the opportunity to join later even if they want to."
The assistant is a master's graduate from a well-known university. Compared to Xue Fan, who has not even graduated from high school, he has much more knowledge and vision than Xue Fan, and can clearly understand what this unique profession in the world means.
"Okay, how's the other thing I asked you to do going? There are so many people, but no one is willing to transfer the patent?" Xue Fan interrupted the assistant.
The assistant paused and said, "Mr. Xue, we haven't made any investment in the laboratory before. Even if we are willing to buy the patent at a high price, we still need the investor's permission. We can only acquire it after the other party gives up the purchase."
"This won't work, and that won't work. Are you getting such a high salary just to eat and do nothing?" Xue Fan couldn't help but throw the documents in his hand on the table.
"Mr. Xue, if we conceal the fact that we have completed the patent acquisition from our investors, the other party can simply sue us and our patents will lose legal protection," the assistant continued.
"Then make it public. Make all the data they've researched public." Xue Fan said irritably, "I don't need those patents to make money. Once I get the data, I'll make it public online."
"Mr. Xue, we will become defendants and will be held legally responsible." The assistant lowered his eyes, thought of his six-figure monthly salary, and patiently continued to explain.
"If Mr. Xue wants to hinder the development of emerging technologies, he might as well cooperate with companies that focus on researching and promoting myoelectric signal-controlled prosthetics. They also want to hinder the rise of emerging technologies."
After hearing the assistant's advice, Xue Fan's irritable mood calmed down a little.
"Then you can contact those companies. I can provide connections and funds. It would be best if I could make Xinsheng Technology suffer a loss, and then we can work together to acquire the other party." Xue Fan said, and at the same time began to miss the system.
If he hadn't lost the system, how could he have ended up in this situation? He must have seized the initiative early on and obtained the patent in advance.
Xue Fan actually felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier that Shang Siyu's research project would succeed so quickly, he would definitely not have given up the excellent investment opportunity at that time.
Unfortunately, there is no if. Without the system's prophetic function, Xue Fan can only rely on himself.
-
"Can't cooperate anymore? Why? Didn't we already discuss it before? The letter of intent has also been signed." After Cui Xiangxiang informed the selected factory that the contract was broken, Shang Siyu frowned subconsciously.
"Kangxin Group has spread the word in the industry, requiring factories that have cooperated with Kangxin not to cooperate with us." Cui Xiangxiang pinched his eyebrows.
Cui Xiangxiang thought, "Kangxin is a long-established company with strong influence in the industry. Factories with advanced machines are generally willing to give them a favor."
A thought flashed across Shang Siyu's brows, and he couldn't help but ponder in his mind, "Is it just the factory that broke the contract? Did any investors withdraw their investment?"
Kangxin and Xinsheng Technology do have business conflicts. Once Xinsheng Technology is able to produce prosthetic limbs on a large scale, it is only a matter of time before it encroaches on Kangxin's existing prosthetic limb market.
Cui Xiangxiang shook his head. "Not yet. Our investors have a deep understanding of our patents and technologies. They are all people with a long-term vision and have great confidence in us."
"Sister Cui, if we buy the machines and build the production line ourselves, will it be feasible?" Shang Siyu asked.
Cui Xiangxiang thought about it for a moment, then shook his head. "The cost is too high. If it's a whole production line, it would cost at least nine figures. We don't have that much investment right now."
Cui Xiangxiang: "According to the original plan, building Xinsheng Technology's own production line should be done two years after the initial profitability."
Cui Xiangxiang thought, "If we want to raise enough funds to purchase the production line, we'll have to accept more investment. This will reduce our stake, and we won't be the controlling shareholder anymore."
Shang Siyu also frowned, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"
"As long as you have learned the relevant knowledge, you will know the benefits of neural connection. As an old-established company, Kangxin will definitely not stand still. They are making things difficult for us now, probably to have more bargaining chips to negotiate with us in the future." Cui Xiangxiang analyzed seriously.
"We now have two better options. One is to wait for Kang Xin to contact us and then try to gain as much benefit as possible during the negotiation."
Cui Xiangxiang paused and said, "As for the other option, it is to find a way to raise money and purchase the machine."
"It's very difficult to build a brand new production line, but if you work with the right factory to transform the production line, there is still a chance to succeed while controlling costs."
"Of course, this kind of thing cannot be decided by one person. Siyu, you can consider holding a shareholders' meeting to discuss this matter." Cui Xiangxiang expressed all his thoughts and handed the decision-making power to Shang Siyu, who currently holds the largest number of shares.
"Okay, thank you Sister Cui, I will think about it carefully." Shang Siyu said.
Cui Xiangxiang nodded and said, "I will also contact some people here. If there is any improvement, I will contact you as soon as possible."
After watching Cui Xiangxiang leave the office, Shang Siyu let out a sigh of relief.
After clearing his mind for a while, Shang Siyu called out to Jing Ke, "Jing Ke, are you there?"
【I am here. 】
"I would like to hear your advice. What is the better choice for me?" Shang Siyu asked.
My suggestion is to find a reliable partner and build your own production line.
Kangxin Group is a large company. They would be more inclined to acquire a new technology company than to cooperate with a newly established company. Cooperating with them would be like trying to get the skin of a tiger.
Shang Siyu: "But the production line costs are very high. If Xinsheng Technology accepts a large investment, the majority of the shares will no longer be in our hands."
[This problem is easy to solve. I can recommend you a reliable partner.]
She will give you enough investment to build a production line from scratch, and only ask for a 20% stake.
"Only 20%?" Shang Siyu couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
You should know that when Xinsheng Technology accepted the 30 million investment, it paid almost 15% of the shares.
Building a production line from scratch would require an investment of at least 200 million yuan, which is enough to directly acquire Xinsheng Technology.
[Yes, I have also arranged a meeting time for you.]
[The afternoon after tomorrow is your rest time. If you believe me, you can go to this place to meet your future partner.]
"Okay, I'll be there on time." Shang Siyu replied after recovering from the shock, "Jing Ke, thank you."
You're welcome~
There was a hint of joy in Jing Ke's words, but Shang Siyu, who was busy thinking about who he could meet the day after tomorrow, didn't notice it.
