From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

Looking at his expression, Bruce understood that he was a complete amateur in this area.

But it’s okay. This kind of project related to public security cannot be handed over to others.

"Okay, I have nothing prepared, so how much initial capital do you expect to need?"

"10 billion?"

Leo carefully said a number that seemed unrealistic to him.

But the person opposite him is the richest man in Gotham, what if he doesn't care?

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a last resort...

“I am rich, but I am not stupid.”

After saying that, Bruce stood up, turned around and left.

Leo was stunned.

Asking for a high price and paying back on the spot, isn't that how it always works?

Why did you leave without even talking?!

"...What are you doing?"

"I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters. I just need to know your intentions. The specific negotiations will be handled by professionals."

Bruce left without looking back, leaving Leo disheveled in the wind.

Is it a small matter to start a company together?

Is this a truly rich person?

Showing off one's talents for the first time: Chapter 82: Funds have arrived, and everything is going smoothly!

The lonely figure of the rich man disappeared from sight, and suddenly there was a sound of a sofa being squeezed beside him.

Leo turned around and saw Alfred sitting upright opposite him.

He was wearing a formal suit today and his hair was combed meticulously, completely different from the image of the old butler who was always smiling and full of humor in the past.

Now he is more like a social elite.

"Afu...are you a professional?"

"That's right. The young master is not really suitable for a job like business negotiation. He has a very weak concept of money."

Leo nodded to show his understanding: "I thought Lucius Fox would be in charge of business negotiations. After all, the Internet shows that he is the president and technical director of Wayne Group."

Alfu chuckled: "Lucius is indeed more suitable than me. He is responsible for managing the commercial affairs of Wayne Group and also understands technology. But there is a small disagreement here-"

He placed a document on the table and pushed it to Leo.

Leo took it and looked at it. On the cover was written: [Home Monitoring System·Business Plan]

"?"

Isn't this something he should prepare?

Bruce was already prepared, so why ask him?

Leo frowned, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: I understand, he is waiting for me to take out the plan, and then PUA me hard and slap me in the face with this more rigorous plan!

Batman is so bad!

There are ambushes everywhere!

Fortunately, he was not prepared at all, leaving Batman with no place to use his strength!

Great, we win again...

Leo tried hard to control his expression so as not to show any sign of gritting his teeth.

After calling out Chunbai in their minds, the two of them studied the plan together and quickly figured out why it was Alfu who came to negotiate instead of Lucius, who was more professionally qualified.

"Bruce and I are the partners in the company?"

"Yes, to be precise, it's only the two of you. There can't be Wayne Group or anyone else. If you want to sell off your company shares later, the young master has the right to purchase all the shares sold at a price twice the highest market price first."

Leo was shocked. Bruce kicked the Wayne Group away and wanted to cooperate with him as an individual.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Ah Fu patiently explained, "Master Bruce is the chairman of the Wayne Group, but the group does not belong to Master Bruce alone. There are other shareholders and directors. When it comes to technology that can affect social order, Master Bruce believes that the fewer people involved, the better."

"I see. He left me 51% of the shares. If I want to sell some shares, the company will become his..."

Ah Fu smiled but said nothing.

Leo had a quick discussion with Chunbai and felt that it didn't matter. This was just a technology he picked up casually. It would be fine as long as he could earn enough start-up capital and build a data center.

If you really want to make big money, you have to look at the Melatonin-2 wheat, prosthetic technology, and the anti-gravity technology used in hovercrafts, etc. Those are the weapons of mass destruction that are enough to promote the industrial revolution and even trigger a world war.

After discussion, they quickly reached a consensus on these trivial matters.

The final disagreement was over the amount of the first round of investment.

"Mr. Leo, since you don't know much about business, I'll be frank -

The trial product you provided is still in the initial prototype stage, just a very attractive concept. But whether it can be successfully promoted and operated is still uncertain. Generally speaking, this is called seed round investment, and the funds that can be raised are not much. "

"We are willing to provide 20 million yuan in initial funding for the construction of an Internet data center. We will be responsible for the supporting personnel, venues, and various miscellaneous items. You only need to be responsible for the computer room and software. What do you think?"

Leo felt... it was okay, much higher than he expected.

The only pity is this so-called seed round. If I had known earlier, I would have come up with a slightly more advanced version instead of this castrated version of EA0.1.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Ah Fu continued to increase the stakes: "In fact, we think that $10 billion is an acceptable investment price, but the prerequisite is that you have to make a formal version of the software first and let us see the revenue prospects, then we will make additional investments."

Leo felt at ease now. He prepared several EA versions just to pretend that he was working and prove his importance.

If you can easily come up with a complete version, and do it a few more times, Batman won't be easy to fool...

The somewhat sloppy business negotiations ended quickly.

Afu made a promise on Bruce's behalf that as long as his software made effective progress, additional investment would be received immediately.

Both parties reached an agreement.

Leo's total assets in Gotham reached 2063 million US dollars, entering the middle class.

"Then hurry up, Mr. Leo, I will take you to visit the venue selected by the young master, and then discuss the issue of purchasing equipment.

Oh, by the way, your suit has been cleaned and is in the cabinet at the door, but I suggest you don’t wear it when you go out.”

"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes."

*

A quarter of an hour later, Leo, wearing a casual suit, took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Ah Fu was already waiting for him by the car, which was a sapphire blue convertible sports car.

Leo walked briskly to the cab: "I'll drive. I've been lying in the room for a few days, and my body is almost rusted."

Ah Fu handed him the keys directly and sat in the passenger seat.

Boom boom boom——

The engine roared and the luxury sports car rushed out of the parking lot.

After being under "house arrest" for 72 hours, Leo finally saw the light of day again, feeling quite happy at having survived a disaster.

The sports car drove onto the main road and sped north.

After driving for only a dozen minutes, the navigation indicated that we had arrived at our destination.

Leo parked the car on the side of the road and looked to the right. There was a small industrial park with an electric fence and a security room outside. There were several low buildings and factories inside. The paint on the wall looked fresh.

"This is one of the young master's properties. It was just rebuilt not long ago. Just in time for you to build an Internet data center, I approved this place for you to use."

"It looks really good. The initial construction should not require such a large site."

"Then pick one you like."

After the negotiations, Ah Fu regained his sense of humor.

Leo did not refuse. He took a quick look around and chose a three-story factory building as the location of the initial computer room.

The area of a single floor is more than 2000 square meters, and the area of three floors is 6000 square meters, which should be large enough.

Chunbai was excitedly sending messages in his mind, urging him to buy the equipment quickly and start construction today.

Leo was just a programmer who wrote code before, how could he understand this?

So, he humbly learned from Bruce and handed over all the work to the almighty Butler.

"No problem. Wayne Group has related industries. We can use internal channels to buy the most cost-effective off-the-shelf equipment and start construction immediately."

Ah Fu took on a lot of responsibilities, allowing him to experience the joy of being a hands-off boss.

Things have come to this point, and the only problem left for Leo is to name the company.

Leo, who suffers from naming difficulties, was in a dilemma. He looked up at the sky and started thinking.

Showing Off Its Talents: Chapter 83 Its name is - Umbrella Corporation!

A security company whose main business is urban surveillance systems.

According to a more realistic naming convention, it should be XXX Security Service Company, but this is really LOW...

DC really has superheroes, super villains, mad scientists, and aliens. If you want to start a company in such a place, the name must be louder.

Think about the key words... This is a company that openly provides security services, and the key words are undoubtedly guarding, watching, and protecting.

Life protection?

Eternal protection?

Watchmen?

Wait, that won’t work. DC already has the Watchmen organization.

Protection...protection, umbrella!

There was a gleam in Leo's eyes, and his fingers unconsciously gestured in the air.

Yes, umbrella!

What a loud, majestic and powerful name.

Anyone who hears this name will think of T disease... Oh, no, it's about safety and reliability!

He has even thought of the company's logo - it is an umbrella from a top-down perspective. In order to embody the humanitarian spirit, the color scheme was learned from the Red Cross, using the classic red and white color scheme to highlight the spirit of fraternity!

It's so wonderful, let's call it Umbrella.

High-end, atmospheric and classy, this feeling comes immediately!

"Afu, I figured it out!"

Leo shared his amazing wisdom with Ah Fu, successfully making the latter exclaim in amazement.

"I didn't expect Mr. Leo to be so good at this. Umbrella Corporation... well, you can tell what it does as soon as you hear it. The company logo is also very recognizable."

"That's right! That's what I do. I'm a professional in technology!"

After finalizing the company name, the last step is basically completed and you can officially start work.

Leo found that Bruce seemed to be more anxious than him, so he lent him the Almighty Butler to help the Umbrella Corporation get off to a smooth start.

With the help of this butler who possesses the "Face Fruit power" in Gotham, everything goes smoothly.

Ah-Fu took out two Apple tablets from his suitcase, and the two of them held one each, and went to inspect the factory and discuss the plan.

Leo himself has experience in building his own computer room. In addition, he has been concentrating on searching for information online in the past few days. With Chunbai's assistance, he has a lot of knowledge about building an IDC computer room.

He was responsible for the layout of the computer room and the selection of equipment, while Ah Fu was responsible for recording and making phone calls. The two of them worked in perfect harmony and quickly completed the preliminary blueprint.

"The initial investment is... about 1500 million. I have to save some money for other purposes."

"No problem, but please remember that we will only make additional investments after we see results."

"I know, I know. I understand Party A's father..."

Leo looked at his bank account with heartache. The 2000 million he had just received would soon shrink to 500 million.
