System: Master Your Life-Chapter 822 - 202: Settling the Investment and Returning Home, A Day with Xia Xiyao and Rong Xiyi_2
Xu Lin did not admit it, he just said, "The value of this formula, I don’t know how much it’s worth exactly, but I suppose it’s quite valuable. So, if we are to invest, I would want 15% of your company’s shares. This formula is worth 15% of the shares and should be freely gifted to me. Mr. Rigg, what do you think?"
93% of the company’s shares belong to Rigg, so he naturally has the deciding authority.
To demand 15% for free, calling it a lion’s share would be an understatement.
However, my formula does have such value.
"Young Master Xu, I agree!"
"Mr. Xu."
Xu Lin corrected.
"Ahem, Mr. Xu, sorry, I agree, I am willing to freely give 15% of the shares to you, and I swear by the name of God!"
Rigg, after all, was not a formal businessman, he was more passionate about realizing self-worth.
That is to say, money was not as important to him as realizing his life’s value, creating the robots he desired aligned with his dreams and life’s value.
So, he didn’t think much and agreed to give Xu Lin 15% of the shares for free.
Chi Linyue and Tilin were both shocked.
He just got 15% of the shares for free? Although the company’s current valuation is quite low. It’s just a small-to-medium-sized company.
The subsequent contract signing went very smoothly.
The three of them pooled their money, a total of eighty-five million US dollars in equity investment, collectively owning 33% of the shares.
And Xu Lin additionally had a separate 15%.
[Due to your correction, the future development of the Potential Company has changed slightly. The company will experience a leap-forward development. Four months later, the Potential Company will become one of the emerging robot enterprises in the attention of the New York area. The valuation will reach 4.3 billion US dollars. A month later, the Potential Company will move to Silicon Valley, the capital of technology. Another five months later, its valuation will exceed 9 billion US dollars.]
"So aggressive?"
Seeing the prompt, Xu Lin was a bit dazed.
Wasn’t it supposed to be acquired by a major company in three months?
Xu Lin didn’t expect that one of his formulas would bring such a change to this company.
"If I released my entire formula, would this company not become a unicorn?"
"9 billion US dollars, I have a 15% gift in shares, with another 8.39% from the 150 million shares, which means I own 23.6% of the shares. That is to say, a year later, I’ll have more than 2.1 billion US dollars."
Xu Lin felt a surge of excitement.
Converting to RMB, a year later, just from the capital brought by this company’s shares, he would own over 151 billion.
The asset of over a hundred billion came so smoothly!
"Scientist, you provided a formula. What will happen to this company afterward?"
Tilin couldn’t help but ask.
"Theoretically, it should welcome big development, the market competitiveness will strengthen, we just have to wait for the money. My formula won’t have problems. If anything, it’s this company that may have issues. But this company’s current shareholder structure is good. Besides our investment, most of the remaining shares are Rigg’s, which means he has enough say to stick to his direction."
Xu Lin had a god-like perspective, foreseeing the future. He didn’t go into details with her, otherwise, it might be hard to explain.
"A formula getting 15% of the shares. Scientist, knowledge really is power. It’s materialized in your hands!"
Tilin was quite amazed, her eyes filled with admiration.
Xu Lin laughed, "Your Chinese is getting better and better."
"Thank you for the compliment."
On the other hand.
Chi Linyue said, "Was that formula very important just now?"
"It’s not that important, it’s in my first paper, but without the detailed derivation I provided today."
Xu Lin hugged his elder sister around her fragrant shoulder, "Moreover, this is only one-tenth of the complete formula. I’ve hidden nine-tenths, and even what I provided can only be called the scraps of the formula, the important parts, even the core parts, I’ve kept hidden. You see, I’m very cautious. Later when we return home, we can look for similar companies to invest in, and I’ll give some pointers. If things go well, we might make a fortune."
"My dear husband, how are you so amazing?"
"Of course." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Scientist, you’re quite cautious."
"You can’t afford not to be cautious. If your country’s robotics development grows, and then suppresses my country, what would I do? In my homeland, there’s an old saying: the rise and fall of a nation rest on every citizen’s shoulder. Your country is quite nasty and has suppressed us a lot."
"Good thing I’m not involved in politics, or I wouldn’t be able to happily hang out with you, scientist."
"Hope we can always enjoy ourselves!"
That day, the three of them wandered around New York again.
It’s just that Xu Lin felt there was nothing interesting abroad.
This trip abroad, they’ve done what they needed to do.
Thus, it’s about time to return home.
In the afternoon, Xu Lin and Tilin had one last meal together, and after eating, they officially said goodbye.
After that, Xu Lin and Chi Linyue boarded a flight back home.
First class.
Directly sleeping on the bed.
The flight from New York to Jiangdu, even if it’s direct, takes about fifteen hours.
For Xu Lin, it was over fifteen hours, overall the trip was quite long.
He and Chi Linyue slept for seven hours, and when Xu Lin woke up, he realized they still had a long way to go.
"We’re only halfway there?"
Xu Lin found himself unable to fall back asleep.
Sitting on a plane for so long is also boring. With first-class seats having beds, it’s okay, but those sitting in seats for over ten hours are surely uncomfortable as one can imagine.
Half an hour later, Chi Linyue also woke up, but she wasn’t fully awake yet, so she snuggled into Xu Lin’s embrace, her cheek against Xu Lin’s chest.
Eyes closed, she murmured, "Xu Lin, where are we?"
