Okay, I'll give it to you - these faint four words fell on the ears of everyone at the scene, but they were no less than a thunderclap!

There was a sudden commotion in the studio, and everyone couldn't believe their ears.

Because of the big wave of the gold master's hand, he was really caught off guard.

"Boss......" Michael, the acting CEO of Dongfanghong Capital, was in a hurry, and it was too hasty in his opinion to throw out a billion dollars so directly.

They don't even have a comprehensive understanding of the company.

However, Li Yadong just glanced at him lightly, which made Michael's heart tense and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Not to mention Michael, the three guests were also confused, their mouths were all open, but they never made a sound, because they didn't know what to say.

The wealth of the gold lord scares almost everyone present.

Including Comrade Lao Qiao himself!

"You...... Give it to me?" Comrade Lao Qiao swallowed his saliva and asked, "How to give?"

He naturally wanted money, and as revealed in the conversation between the two just now, if he had this billion dollars, all the problems would no longer be a problem.

He can devote himself to technology research and development without being burdened by any trivial matters, so he is confident that his NeXT company will usher in a big explosion of technology and products in a very short period of time, and it is not impossible to soar into the sky and surpass Apple in one fell swoop.

You know, this is his long-cherished wish buried deep in his heart!

But now the question is...... His entire NeXT company is unlikely to be worth a billion dollars, or even far from it, what should he use to finance that billion dollars?

In addition, not to mention that he can't come up with the corresponding capital, even if he has, if it is at the cost of selling the majority of the company's shares, he will not accept it.

He didn't want to repeat the mistake of being kicked out of the company he founded again, and the bitter experience of the past had taught him that if you want to take control of a company, you have to have a sizable stake.

Bill Gates has done a good job of this, he owns more than 40% of Microsoft, is the veritable largest shareholder, and no one can challenge his authority, let alone sweep him away.

So if the other party is playing this abacus, then he would rather give up this financing opportunity, find another home, or take care of it himself.

"Mr. Stephen, I want to discuss this issue with you privately, what do you think?" Li Yadong replied after a few moments.

Comrade Lao Qiao is naturally fine, how much do you think he wants to stand on the stage and be seen as a monkey?

His purpose is just to raise a considerable amount of money to help the company's development, nothing more, and he doesn't care about the ratings of the "Fortune 10 billion" program.

As for Li Yadong, he didn't care either, especially after Guo Qi's revenge plan had been resolved.

"Absolutely. ”

"Click!"

The two of them didn't care about the recording of the show, but some people couldn't sit still, and director Thomas shouted for the first time.

This is the first time today.

Because for this show, he strives to restore the most realistic live effect, and he will not stop until he has to.

Thomas trotted to the round table seat, scratched his head and looked at Li Yadong, looking very puzzled: "Mr. Li, why discuss it privately, this is the most exciting part of the whole show, after losing this paragraph, the audience will definitely be disappointed, and it will have a great impact on the ratings." ”

After Li Yadong glanced up at him, he replied with a light smile: "Do you think I would care about this compared to a billion-dollar investment?"

"......" Thomas was a little speechless for a moment.

What can I do?

After all, people are the masters of gold.

Fortunately, Li Yadong has always known how to empathize, and can always take into account the feelings of others, and comforted him in a timely manner: "Don't worry, although it is a private discussion, the final result will definitely be publicly announced, you can let the post-production be properly edited, so that the show looks smoother." ”

"That'...... All right. Thomas was also fine, it was certainly not the best attention, but he was really powerless to resist the request of the man in front of him.

So next, under the guidance of the staff, Li Yadong and Comrade Lao Qiao came to a lounge backstage together.

Just the two of them.

As for the others, they all waited in the studio.

Before leaving, Li Yadong thought of something, and ordered Miss Su to order takeout, and everyone in the audience had a share.

Because it was already dinner time at this time, and he and Comrade Lao Qiao didn't know how long they would have to talk.

In the rest room.

Li Yadong and Comrade Lao Qiao sat opposite each other at a small wooden square table, and after two cups of coffee were brought in by a staff member, they left and closed the door.

"Mr. Stephen, to be honest, in fact, I am also an Apple fan, as soon as the Apple I came out, it amazed me, made me understand that the computer can still be made so small, the most important thing is that its performance has not been castrated, in my opinion it is a great invention. Li Yadong said half-truthfully, but also for his "excessive trust", laying the groundwork.

Because I'm a fan of yours, I trust you and everything doesn't seem so weird.

"Mr. Li has won the award, but in fact, it seems that the original Apple I is really full of loopholes and has many deficiencies. Although Comrade Lao Qiao said this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He really didn't expect that this gold lord was still his fan.

Although he actually has a lot of fans, an ordinary person is naturally not the same as a billionaire.

"The reason why I propose a private chat is because I have some unorthodox ideas that really refute normal investment behavior, so it is better not to make it public, so as not to be mistaken for a crazy person. Li Yadong quipped.

Comrade Lao Qiao smiled and put on a deaf look.

"Before I say what I think, I want Mr. Stephen to understand that I admire your talent and believe that you will be able to create the next Apple, or even surpass it!"

Mr. Li praised it falsely. Although Comrade Lao Qiao said this, at this moment, the whole chest was as warm as the clear sky in June, and he suddenly had a feeling of finding a confidant in life and hating to see each other late.

Especially at this juncture, he was kicked out of Apple, and he went from being at the helm of a tech giant to the owner of a small company.

God knows how many people are watching his jokes.

"My idea is that I will not take a controlling stake in your NeXT company for $150 million, I only need 45% of the shares, and this price is in line with your estimated value of the company. ”

When Comrade Lao Qiao heard this, he subconsciously frowned.

Although the other party is right, he originally wanted to use 30% of the shares to raise 100 million US dollars, and the other party is now bidding 150 million US dollars, asking for 45% of the shares, and the value conversion is equal, but the key is that he does not plan to sell so many shares.

Because he still has to think about the future.

Yes, if this is the case, he still holds 55% of the shares in his hands and does have an absolute controlling stake, but once the company is listed in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that no additional shares will be issued, and at the same time, the shares will inevitably be diluted, and it is difficult to say.

"Another ......"

However, Li Yadong's words were not finished.

"What I just said in the studio is by no means untrue, I said that if I give you a billion dollars, I will definitely give it. In addition to the $150 million, I will contribute an additional $850 million to help NeXT grow. And this 850 million US dollars, I don't need any return, I can set it up as a special fund, once the company's research and development needs funds, use it as you go, and wait until the results of research and development are transformed into profits, and then make up for it. What do you think?"

And this kind of operation?

After listening to Li Yadong's words, Comrade Lao Qiao looked at him in disbelief.

With $850 million, a special fund was set up to help the development of NeXT without asking for returns......

Such an act is simply to hold him up to heaven with both hands!
