Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

If it weren't for the damn currency devaluation, Microsoft would have officially gone public in March this year.

Just like the fruit company, countless billionaires and multi-millionaires will be born.

Paul patted William on the shoulder and said weakly: "William, we must not repeat the mistakes of the fruit company. We must be very careful in choosing investors."

"My opinion is that we can allow Lin Kaifeng to invest in the company, but we need to suppress his stake to a level that does not pose a threat to us."

William was silent for a moment and came up with an idea.

Soon, Paul and William returned to the meeting room.

Inside the house, Lin Kaifeng was chatting and laughing with Joseph, talking about some recent interesting things in the United States.

Seeing the two people coming in, Lin Kaifeng said slowly: "Gentlemen, I hate to force people to do things. If you think that accepting my investment will affect the development of Juruan, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now."

Hearing this, William couldn't help but be stunned.

Paul hesitated and said, "Mr. Lin means that he does not intend to invest in GiantSoft?"

"It's not that I don't plan to, but business requires mutual consent. We have a folk proverb in Long Country, which says that a forced melon is not sweet."

"If we have any grudges at the beginning of the cooperation, there will only be troubles in the future. I think we should just forget about it."

Lin Kaifeng paused and sighed, "Perhaps other companies need the US dollar investment in my hands more."

William and Paul's faces changed drastically.

No wonder Lin Kaifeng suddenly changed his mind in order to express his dissatisfaction.

William and Paul didn't know how much US dollars Lin Kaifeng had in his hands.

The two of them only knew one thing.

The available funds of Northern Machinery Group are absolutely astronomical.

Otherwise, how could Lin Kaifeng have the ability to build a large number of communication base stations within the United States.

How could they acquire Marvel, the largest comic company in the United States, for 360 million in one go?

All these actions proved that Lin Kaifeng could mobilize at least tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Once Lin Kaifeng decides to invest in other computer companies.

We will definitely guide the other party to develop the software industry.

Lin Kaifeng and William have the same views on the computer software industry.

The profits to be made in the software field are no less than those in computer hardware.

Doing so is equivalent to creating a powerful enemy for BigSoft out of thin air.

Paul hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. William and I went out to discuss. We didn't mean to reject your investment. We were just thinking about how many shares we should give you."

"We have already discussed it. GiantSoft is willing to give up 10% of its shares in exchange for a US$ million investment."

"Mr. Paul, are you kidding me?"

Joseph said unhappily, "The total market value of GiantSoft is only 200 million US dollars."

"10% of the company's shares in exchange for Mr. Lin's investment of million US dollars. I'm sorry, but I don't feel any sincerity in cooperation from your words."

"Your request is clearly a disguised rejection of Mr. Lin."

"If you don't want to accept Mr. Lin's investment, you can just refuse directly. There's no need to use this method and make everyone unhappy."

There were some harsh words that Lin Kaifeng was not comfortable saying, but Joseph, as a substitute, had no concerns.

Unhappily accused William and Paul of saying one thing and doing another.

BigSoft is a technology company with a good development momentum.

No one can deny this.

This is why Lin Kaifeng came up with the idea of ​​investing.

But remember, BigSoft is not listed.

The market value is only 200 million US dollars.

Spending 10 million US dollars to acquire % of the shares means either Lin Kaifeng is crazy or Paul is sick and confused.

With another 100 million, Lin Kaifeng even acquired Juruan Company in full.

Seeing that Paul was trying to exorbitantly ask for a higher price, Lin Kaifeng returned the money on the spot. He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. William, Mr. Paul, please forgive me. Mr. Joseph has a straightforward personality. If there is anything wrong, I apologize on his behalf."

"But what Mr. Joseph said does make some sense."

"I will never accept this condition."

William said calmly: "How many shares does Mr. Lin want to get?"

"One price, 30% of the shares."

William and Paul looked at each other.

To be fair, this request is not excessive.

As Joseph said, the overall market value of BigSoft is indeed 200 million US dollars.

Exchanging 30% of the shares for million US dollars is not a loss for the two.

The company is not listed and the majority of shares are held by William and Paul.

Looking at Paul's expression, William knew that his old friend was moved.

However, in business, you should always try to make as much money as possible.

If I can spend one dollar less, I will never pay according to the other party’s request.

"You two, I will stay in the United States for a while. You can contact me when you have made up your mind."

"It's getting late. I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

After leaving his hotel room number, Lin Kaifeng left Juruan Company without any hesitation.

Returning to the car, Joseph smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Lin, is William difficult to deal with? Next, he will continue to bargain with you."

Lin Kaifeng said in a playful tone: "This is how business is done, there's nothing strange about it."

"William can wait, but Paul probably can't wait for long."

"Oh?"

Joseph was confused and asked, "Do you think Paul can convince William to agree to our terms?"

Lin Kaifeng asked back: "How long do you think Paul's body can last?"

"This……"

Joseph looked puzzled.

From the time everyone met until Lin Kaifeng took his men away, Paul looked sick and weak, giving people the feeling that he was about to die at any moment.

Lin Kaifeng said: "You may not know that Paul has a malignant tumor."

"You know the medical system in the United States well, even if I don't tell you. If you want to prolong your life, you don't have to spend hundreds of millions. Especially for these malignant diseases, the cost of treatment is at least more than 10 million."

"No wonder Paul is in such a bad condition, it turns out this is the case..."

Joseph felt sorry for Paul, then said, "Looking at Paul's appearance, he must have been suffering from a malignant tumor for more than a day or two. Why doesn't he go to the hospital for comprehensive treatment?"

At this moment, a question lingered in Joseph's mind.

Judging from Paul's overall condition, he had been ill for at least three to five years.

Even though his income could not support him to hire authoritative experts for treatment.

It doesn't mean that Paul has no chance to survive.

BigSoft is not currently considered a large enterprise, and the income of its executives is just relatively higher.

But Paul is not only an executive, he is also a shareholder of the company.

He owns a lot of shares.

If the shares of BigSoft are sold, the medical expenses will be covered.

It was not difficult for Lin Kaifeng to see what Joseph was wondering about.
