Chapter 74 Investment and Shareholding
After Li Qingyuan and the five left, Wei Rulan wanted to talk to Li Jingwei about some of her thoughts.
Li Jingwei's performance in the past few days has made Wei Rulan realize his ability and great value to the company's future development. Wei Rulan felt that the development of the chip company and Li Jingwei must be bundled.
Although the problem was solved this time, it is difficult to guarantee that similar problems will not be encountered in the development of future projects. In fact, in the process of chip development, algorithm problems are always an important aspect that affects computing power.
Of course, she still has her own selfishness, that is, she hopes to have a closer relationship with Li Jingwei, and only in this way can she continue to cultivate and deepen the relationship between the two.
Although Li Jingwei did not mention the issue of remuneration from beginning to end, and it seems that he has no intention of wanting remuneration, Wei Rulan feels that he must repay him.
Li Qingyuan also said that these programs compiled by Li Jingwei are invaluable. Therefore, if you don't give him anything in return, you can't say anything.
"Jingwei, you have helped me so much this time, I really don't know how to thank you. Wei Rulan said. What she said is also true, if these problems are not solved, the entire chip research and development project will come to a standstill, and even the entire project will eventually be unfinished.
In terms of chip project research and development, Tenglong International has invested nearly 5 billion. If the project is unfinished, then the initial investment is equivalent to a waste. Even for a large group like Tenglong International, 500 million is a considerable loss.
More importantly, this will lead to the company's products always relying on chips provided by foreign companies, and it will not be able to get rid of the dilemma of being controlled by others.
After Li Jingwei helps solve these problems, the entire project research and development will enter the accelerated completion stage. According to Li Qingyuan's estimate, two will be able to enter the test stage at the latest. If all goes well, all tests will be completed by the end of the year, and series production will be possible next year.
At this rate, the development cycle of this chip R&D project will be shortened by nearly a year. This can't help but make Wei Rulan excited. A few days ago, she was worried that the project would be postponed, but she didn't expect that the difficulties would be solved in a few days. This is really 'the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village'.
"No thanks. The completion of your project will play a leading and exemplary role in the Huaxia chip industry, and will be of great significance to the development of the country's information technology industry and even the development of artificial intelligence in the future. Li Jingwei said, "As a Chinese, I am very happy to see this scene in the future. ”
"That day must not be far away. Wei Rulan said confidently, and put half of the lobster on her plate on Li Jingwei's plate. Her movements are very natural, like lovers, and there is no sense of disobedience in the eyes of outsiders.
Matt Klober, who was sitting in the distance, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a fire of jealousy rising in his heart.
"I know you want Huaxia to master your own chip technology, and you don't care about any reward. However, for Tenglong International, I must thank you! I also want to thank you!" Wei Rulan then said seriously.
"I want to give you ten percent of the shares of the chip company. At present, Tenglong International Group holds 70% of the shares of the chip subsidiary, and I personally hold 30% of the shares. I intend to give you 5 percent of the shares of the group and 5 percent of the shares of the individual. Wei Rulan continued.
Tenglong International Group generally gives 30% of the shares to the projects of the family's children to start a business. This is also an incentive policy to hope that the children of the family can maintain the entrepreneurial spirit. Therefore, after the chip subsidiary was secretly registered, Wei Rulan also obtained 30% of the shares.
"My plan in the future is to start preparing for the spin-off and listing after the chip is put into production next year. The development of the chip industry must form a scale effect as soon as possible, and at the same time carry out continuous research and development, so as to maintain sustainable and long-term competitiveness. All of this requires a lot of financial support. Only by raising sufficient funds from the capital market can we develop rapidly. Speaking of the company's development, Wei Rulan is also full of hope.
Li Jingwei agrees with Wei Rulan's idea, and the company he founded also raised a lot of funds after going public, and then developed rapidly.
Therefore, after the company has developed to a certain stage, going public is a good choice. Although it will allow the founders to cede a portion of their equity to investors, they will be able to quickly access the funds they need to grow.
In addition, Li Jingwei is also very optimistic about the development of chip companies. In the past two days, he has also been thinking about it, and he has gradually realized that the development of the next generation of information technology depends to a large extent on the development of chip technology. In fact, whether it is a computer, a mobile phone, or other communication or smart devices, the chip is the most critical part, just as the heart is to people.
"The pay is really not necessary. However, if you lack funds, I can invest in shares. Li Jingwei said.
Li Jingwei's shares in Jixun have a large number of dividends every year. Zhao Yici has always helped her take care of these dividends, and he hasn't asked much.
Some time ago, Zhao Yici told Li Jingwei that the stocks he invested in had been sold in accordance with Li Jingwei's suggestion, and a total of about two billion US dollars was obtained. At present, 1.5 billion US dollars have been invested in the bonds of the United States, China and other countries, and the remaining 500 million US dollars have not yet been identified as investment channels.
I heard Wei Rulan say just now that she wanted to raise funds, and it just so happened that the money could be invested. On the one hand, this is because Li Jingwei is very optimistic about the development of the chip industry, and on the other hand, after getting along in the past few days, Li Jingwei is also very optimistic about the team led by Wei Rulan.
Without waiting for Wei Rulan to answer, Li Jingwei continued: "If you want, I can invest 500 million US dollars for you." ”
When Wei Rulan heard this, she was taken aback. She could see that Li Jingwei was not joking, but was talking about it very seriously. It's just that what she doesn't understand is where Li Jingwei got so much money?
As far as she knew, Li Jingwei was only a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and it was impossible for him to have so much money.
In Wei Rulan's concept of love, there is no concept of being the right person. Therefore, although she likes Li Jingwei, she has not deliberately investigated Li Jingwei's background, because she feels that it is unnecessary. What she likes is Li Jingwei, and she doesn't care that he is just a university professor.
Therefore, when Li Jingwei said that she could invest 500 million US dollars, she was still very surprised.
"You.... Can you really come up with so much money?" Wei Rulan asked with some hesitation.
"Yes, I made some money investing in the stock market. Now I am worried that there is no good investment channel, if you need it, I will invest in you. Li Jingwei replied.
What Li Jingwei said is also the truth, and the money in his hand now is indeed earned by Zhao Yici helping him speculate in stocks. The original investment of 500 million US dollars became 2 billion US dollars after the stock was sold off. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that it is earned.
Wei Rulan does need money, and it will cost money to develop cutting-edge chip manufacturing equipment, build chip production lines, and recruit top talents. Spending money every day is like running water. That's why she wanted to go public a day earlier to raise funds.
If Li Jingwei invests 500 million US dollars in it, it will be equivalent to nearly 4 billion Huaxia coins, which will make the company's funds abundant, and there is no need to worry about funds in the near future.
"That's great!" Wei Rulan's excited little face turned red, "But I'm going to go back and discuss it with my family, and I also have to evaluate the value of the company to determine how many shares this money is equivalent to." ”
At present, Tenglong International has invested a total of 5 billion Chinese dollars, accounting for 70% of the shares. If Li Jingwei invests in, it will greatly dilute the shareholding ratio of Tenglong International. So, she needs to discuss it with her family.
"No problem. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow, and you can tell me what the specific share is. Li Jingwei said indifferently.
He is optimistic about the future of the chip company and believes in the credibility of Tenglong International Company, so he is not worried about the issue of shares at all, and believes that the Wei family will give him a fair price.
"You believe in me so much!" Wei Rulan said sweetly, a little shy between her eyebrows.
"That's right! I believe in you, and I'm optimistic about the company's development. Li Jingwei said, picking up the wine glass in front of him, "Come, for our cooperation, cheers!"
"Cheers!" Wei Rulan smiled like a flower, and looked at Li Jingwei with a pair of moist eyes full of infatuation.
There wasn't much wine in their glasses, but after drinking it all, they looked at each other and laughed.
At this moment, Wei Rulan's heart felt sweeter than she had ever been, and she was glad that she came to the United States to find Li Jingwei. The instant moisturization of happiness made her original face more beautiful.
This kind of face should only be in heaven, how can it appear in the world!
Li Jingwei looked at Wei Rulan, and he was also stupid for a while!
Wei Rulan saw Li Jingwei looking at herself stupidly, and lowered her head shyly, but her heart was full of happiness.
Beauty has always been a killer feature for women, an invincible killer feature.
The atmosphere of this moment actually made everyone in the restaurant quiet down, forgetting to eat and talk.
Matt Clober could no longer control the desire in his heart, he jerked to his feet, picked up the wine and glass on the table, and walked towards Verulan.
"May I have a drink, beautiful lady?" said Matt, politely, as he tried to make his voice magnetic in his voice.
However, even so, the voice was still so harsh in Wei Rulan's ears, and she was annoyed that Matt interrupted her happy moment.
"I'm sorry, I've already drunk!" Wei Rulan tried her best to show due etiquette, but the displeasure in her voice was still evident.
"Hehe!" Matt laughed dryly, then said, "I'm '82 Lafite, don't you want to taste it?"
"I'm sorry, sir, please respect yourself!" Wei Rulan heard the teasing meaning in Matt's words, and said unhappily again.
Matt turned to Li Jingwei and said, "Yellow skin monkey, I'll give you 100,000 US dollars, get out of the way immediately!"
A hooligan is a hooligan in the end, and no matter how well he covers it up, he will reveal his original form. A hooligan, even if he wears a suit and tie, is still a hooligan, and at most he is only a high-ranking hooligan.
He has always thought that white people are above the white people, looks down on the Chinese, and calls Li Jingwei a 'yellow-skinned monkey', obviously wanting to humiliate Li Jingwei.
When Li Jingwei heard this, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he looked at Matt fixedly and said, "Get out!"
Li Jingwei has ever been insulted like this! Even at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where the elite is gathered, he is a respected figure.
However, he also disdains to be misgiving, and directly scolds him to get out.
Matt is a scheming high-level gangster. It's just that this time he found the wrong person.
