Chapter 796 It’s Not that I Don’t Want It, It’s that I Can’t Have It

Shi Lei felt a little suspicious about Ding Yu's words.

At this moment, Ding Yu suddenly talked about the shares of the company that had not yet been established, and he said it on the premise of giving him a gift...

Could it be...?

In fact, what Shi Lei wanted to talk about was also related to the shares of that company.

Genetic engineering is a very mature topic that can be put into production from the conversation. Shi Lei certainly hopes to obtain the investment rights of such a company.

According to Ding Yu's original words, his financing demand for the A round after the establishment of the company reached 100 million US dollars, which Shi Lei could not afford at all. Even if he sold all the shares of Qixuan now, he might not be able to afford such financing.

Shi Lei just wanted to obtain the investment rights of a certain number of shares, and he wanted Yu Banzhi and himself to complete this part of the investment rights together. The specific amount of investment depends on how much Yu Banzhi is willing to pay.

Unexpectedly, Ding Yu also talked about this topic, and Shi Lei was of course very surprised.

It can't be said that Ding Yu intends to give some shares to Shi Lei, right? According to Ding Yu's financing needs for the A round, his valuation of his company has actually reached 1 billion US dollars. Even if he gives away some of it, it will be hundreds of millions of RMB.

"What does Mr. Ding mean?"

Ding Yu did not hesitate. He said immediately: "I expect that these 60% of shares will be divided into four rounds of financing, of course, each time will be 10 percentage points. Moreover, I do not intend to dilute the shares of my colleagues in the shares used for financing. In other words, these 40% of shares will be sold by me personally. The financing obtained will be used entirely for the operation and development of the company."

Shi Lei took a breath and thought that Ding Yu was really generous. Should he be called great or stupid?

As long as Ding Yu's estimate of this topic is correct, even if it is all based on his idea of ​​the A round of financing, these 40% of shares are 400 million US dollars. What's more, once the A round really gets 100 million US dollars in financing, the next three rounds will only be higher. A random estimate may exceed 10 billion US dollars. Ding Yu is equivalent to throwing 10 billion US dollars directly.

"So, after four rounds of financing, I will only have 20% of the shares. I want to share these shares equally with Mr. Shi. Moreover, I hope that Mr. Shi will be the CEO of the company. I will only be responsible for the continuous development and application of technology, while Mr. Shi will be responsible for the overall operation of the company."

Shi Lei was shocked and said, "What do you mean? Are you saying that you are going to give me 10% of the shares?"

Ding Yu said with certainty, "Yes, that's what I mean."

"Why?" Shi Lei couldn't understand it at all.

Ding Yu struggled and hesitated, but didn't know how to tell Shi Lei.

In fact, this was a decision he made after thinking for a long time.

He knew that this 10% of the shares was worth a lot of money. Even though he was just a scientist, he had a deep understanding of the capital market during his work at Dark Night Eyes over the past year.

At the beginning, the Americans offered 100 million US dollars to acquire their entire project, which he thought was simply a cheap move. After this year, Dark Night Eyes has invested tens of millions of US dollars in research and development funds for this project, and they are increasingly confident that they will soon be able to come up with the corresponding products. By then, once the company is established and the results of the project are made public, a valuation of one billion US dollars is only a conservative estimate.

After four rounds of financing - of course, these four rounds of financing may take much longer than other companies, but after four rounds, if the company's valuation cannot reach more than 10 billion, it is equivalent to all their efforts for this project being in vain.

If everything goes according to Ding Yu's idea, the 10% of shares he decided to give up will have a value of at least one billion US dollars.

Even if it is calculated according to the A round of financing, it is worth 100 million US dollars.

Ding Yu would certainly be a little unwilling to give Shi Lei 10 billion US dollars. However, he understands more clearly that if he does not give these shares, he may get nothing.

He knows all this well that the ferryman wants to win over Shi Lei and try to get his support. He certainly knows why the ferryman does this.

This is because the ferryman is deeply afraid of Shi Lei, and he even puts Shi Lei on a level that can affect many things in the Eye of Dark Night.

Then, if Shi Lei becomes the largest shareholder of this company, or a person who is at the helm, the ferryman will be afraid to take action against this company that has not yet been established.

This is the whole reason why Ding Yu wants to give Shi Lei a bargain and give him such a big gift for nothing.

While Ding Yu was hesitating, Shi Lei had already thought of these things.

He said: "When you told the ferryman that you did not tamper with the hard drive and drew a clear line with him, he threatened you that he would make your company have no possibility of development?"

Ding Yu was stunned. He did not expect Shi Lei to guess these. He was impressed by Shi Lei's IQ, but he did not understand at all that this actually had little to do with IQ, and it was still at the level of human relations.

"Mr. Shi's wisdom is admirable."

Shi Lei shook his head and said: "So, you reluctantly gave up ten points of shares just to use me in exchange for the normal operation and development of this company in the future?"

Ding Yu knew that there was no need to cover up at this time. He said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, but I don't think this is use. This is a costless thing for you, right? And you will never do it." Afraid of the ferryman..."

Shi Lei smiled and said: "This is really a great gift, but how could I dare to accept it?"

Ding Yu was greatly surprised. He had thought that Shi Lei would accept it without hesitation. He said eagerly: "Mr. Shi, maybe you don't understand our topic yet. Once our topic achieves the final breakthrough and forms a complete product, ”

"No, I am not doubting your judgment on the future of this subject. On the contrary, it is precisely because of my belief that I feel that this gift is too heavy. It is so heavy that I cannot bear it."

Ding Yu became more and more anxious. He said: "Mr. Shi, are you willing to see me... no, the biggest breakthrough in genetic engineering in all mankind be wiped out because of some people's chicken intestines?"

Shi Lei shook his head in frustration. Of course he would not give up such a piece of fat. There was no reason why he should not want the benefits that others brought to his door.

But, he can't have it.

If he accepts it, it means that he has used the abilities given to him by the black card to make extremely huge profits. Even when the company was established, this topic had not yet achieved the final breakthrough. According to the price paid by Dark Night Eye to acquire this topic, a 10% stake was worth tens of millions of dollars at least.

According to Article 7 of the Black Card Code, this is a successful gift of technology that the Black Card has given him that is beyond the reach of this universe to others for a fee.

Ding Yu and Shi Lei are not 100% close.

And even if Shi Lei asks Ding Yu to sign a contract with him and complete it so that the intimacy level reaches 100, this is equivalent to using the ability given to him by the black card to make money. Although this is not included in the black card rules, it is definitely not allowed.

Damn it! ! !

It's actually a bit tiring, but this chapter will make you feel itchy, and I'm a person who doesn't like to be scolded. Although I often scold you from a distance in my heart, and the scolding is extremely unpleasant, so I try to write as much as possible. Maybe one chapter, maybe two chapters, but let’s explain this issue clearly.
