Chapter 1114: Press Conference
After finalizing the details of the cooperation, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Shi Lei took a sip of water and said: "Mr. Kong, let's make an agreement like this. Qixuan will hold a press conference for Series C financing tomorrow, and I have to rush back early tomorrow morning. Regarding what happened last night, if the police have any questions Please help me, Mr. Kong. To be honest, there are some problems within Qixuan. I probably don’t have any extra energy to deal with other things during this time. "
Kong Fandong nodded and took a sip of water. During the more than two hours of negotiation, he, like Shi Lei, barely had time to drink a sip of water.
"Mr. Shi, don't worry. These are all small things. I will definitely help Mr. Shi make arrangements. It's not convenient for me to ask you questions about Qixuan's internal issues, but if you need my help and I can help, just ask."
Shi Lei nodded, suddenly remembering Baoshui's request, and said: "By the way, Mr. Kong, the Bai family... to be precise, your future son-in-law Baoshui intends to make some investments in your research institute. It's inconvenient for me." No matter what, I personally think that if the demand for boiled water is not excessive, you should probably make some concessions. "
Kong Fandong didn't hesitate much. He said: "If Bo Shui is with Xiaoyue, I will certainly not have any problem. Will my wealth be handed over to Xiaoyue sooner or later? But if they can't leave in the end, At the same time, I will never place a behemoth like the Bai family in my company. This is too dangerous."
Shi Lei nodded in agreement. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Kong, do you think this is good? I will give up an investment quota of 100 million yuan, but Boiled Water can only get shares of the company that Kong Yue and I will set up next. If Bai Boishui eventually marries Kong Yue, so I will make up for the yuan he invested on their wedding day. At the same time, you will take out 2.5% of the shares, and I will start a three-way equity swap with Bai. Return the shares of the new company and pay 100 million yuan. You take the 100 million yuan to pay for the five points of the shares of the research institute or the newly established new energy company, and the boiled water is paid for the new company of Kong Yue and me. Stake, get those two points five points.”
Kong Fandong thought carefully and finally nodded in agreement.
"Then please ask Mr. Shi to tell me to boil the water for you."
Shi Lei shook his head and said with a smile: "No, let Kong Yue talk. I hope Kong Yue can go to Wudong with me tomorrow. On the one hand, my cooperation with her also needs to discuss the details. On the other hand, It’s better for Kong Yue to speak up about this matter, since I am an outsider after all.”
Kong Fandong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
Shi Lei stood up and said: "Mr. Kong, according to our agreement, I will go back and prepare the funds. After the funds are ready, I will notify you as soon as possible, and then we can sign the investment agreement."
Kong Fandong also stood up and said, "Mr. Shi has been too tired these past two days, so I won't waste any more of your time. I'm waiting for your call."
Shi Lei and Kong Fandong left the restaurant side by side. Before Kong Fandong got in the car, he asked, "What time should Xiaoyue come over tomorrow?"
"I've booked a flight for 9:20 tomorrow morning, around 7:30. Please ask Kong Yue to pick me up, or we can meet directly at the airport."
"Of course Xiaoyue will come to pick you up. Okay, I'll arrange for someone to book a ticket for her. I won't send Mr. Shi off tomorrow. I wish you all the best in advance."
What Kong Fandong said about everything going well certainly included problems within Qixuan.
After returning to the hotel, Shi Lei quickly fell asleep. At seven o'clock the next morning, he got up and washed up. As soon as he finished washing, he received a call from Kong Yue.
Shi Lei made an appointment to meet her in the hotel lobby. After checking that there were still ten minutes left, he went to the restaurant to have a simple breakfast, went downstairs and checked out of the room. Kong Yue also appeared in the hotel lobby on time.
The two went to the airport together, and on the way, they began to discuss the details of cooperation in the new company.
Since Dong Chiqing was eliminated on his own initiative, Shi Lei originally planned to ask for his opinion, but it was no longer necessary.
In nearly three hours including the flight, Shi Lei and Kong Yue had basically finalized all the details about the new company's cooperation.
The new company will be named Qiyue Technology, using the characters Qixuan and Kong Yue.
The equity is divided between Shi Lei and Kong Yue. Of course, in order to determine the holding, Kong Yue holds 51% and Shi Lei holds 49%.
Shi Lei used the brand value of Qixuan and the 200 million worth of batteries he would receive from Kong Fandong to invest in the company.
Kong Yue, on the other hand, promised to inject 230 million into the company within one year, and the starting capital should not be less than 30 million. At the same time, she needs to provide the patent of the battery core as a company asset.
After arriving in Wudong, Shi Lei took his car, sent Kong Yue to the hotel, informed Bai Boishui to find her, and then returned to the company.
The whole company was busy, and Shi Qiang was extremely nervous in order to ensure that there wouldn’t be any problems at the afternoon’s Series C financing conference.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Lei and Shi Qiang arrived at the press conference. Wei Haoran and the other three investors were also on the way and could arrive in twenty minutes.
Shi Lei received a call from Dong Chiqing, who told him that the Dong family should have reached an agreement with Dai Zhenxing, but Dai Zhenxing did not seem to have any intention of interfering with Qixuan's C round of financing.
This surprised Shi Lei a little.
The good news is that Dai Zhenxing does not intend to interfere with the C round of financing, which means that Shi Lei will firmly control more than half of Qixuan's shares. As long as the C round of financing is completed, Dai Zhenxing will never be able to take away Shi Lei's control over shareholders.
The bad news is that the Dong family and Dai Zhenxing have reached an agreement, which means that Dai Zhenxing will soon get Dong Chiqing's original shares, which are now in the hands of Xu Zhida.
Shi Lei cannot stop Dai Zhenxing from becoming the major shareholder of Qixuan.
Although he does not know what other purposes Dai Zhenxing has, Shi Lei dare not take it lightly.
The final preparations for the C round of financing press conference were carried out in an orderly manner. At three o'clock, Shi Qiang announced the start of the press conference. Shi Lei, as the chairman of the board of directors of Qixuan, spoke first.
Just as Shi Lei took the microphone and prepared to speak, his phone suddenly rang.
"Sorry, I seem to be a little busy. My phone is ringing now. I think all my friends and partners should know what I am doing at this time. Since someone chose this time to call, it must be very important. So, please allow me to answer the phone." Shi Lei apologized to the people at the scene and hurried to the back of the stage.
Taking out his mobile phone, he saw that it was Dai Zhenxing who called. Shi Lei couldn't help but frowned. What is this guy doing by calling at this critical moment?
They will be opponents in the future, opponents who must face each other head-on, so Shi Lei of course chose to answer the call.
"Hello, Mr. Shi, did you disturb the company's financing press conference?"
"Mr. Dai, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that you could become my partner in this way." Shi Lei said calmly.
