Chapter 21: The Billionaire
Time flies, and it's been a month since the last time Peter's uncle was saved.
During this month, a legend of the city's hero rises in New York, who punishes the evil and delivers justice, so that the criminals get the retribution they deserve!
Ordinary people love him and call him a superhero, a partner of justice.
The villains hate him and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The police have a love-hate relationship with him, believing that he has broken the rules, and are trying to arrest him and teach him a lesson.
And he's called Spider-Man!
But at this time, Alan didn't have time to pay attention to this matter, because the day had come to decide his fate!
In the office floor where the Coulson Maglev Company is located, the atmosphere is solemn at this time, and the employees stop their work and stare at the elevator in the office, waiting for the company's future fate to be settled.
After several months of financing negotiations, Stark Industries, Osborne Group, Ford and Aegis became the finalists in the competition of countless venture capital and large companies.
Today, they will come to the headquarters of Coulson Maglev to sign a financing agreement.
The reason why it will be these four companies is because from the beginning to the end of the financing negotiations, Allen is not willing to give up an absolute controlling stake in the company, nor does he want any investment company to become bigger.
So Allen diversified his equity as much as possible, each of these four companies only gave 10% equity, and in this case, only these four companies were still willing to raise money at a price of 160 million US dollars, 1% of the equity.
"Boss, they're coming!" An employee received the message and immediately alerted.
Alan finally straightened his collar, and soon, the elevator showed that it was on the 49th floor, and the company's CEO, Louis Ollilah, led a group of people inside.
Alan happily greeted him and said to the bald bearded man who was walking in front, "Mr. Obadei, you are here in person!" ”
"Haha, Alan!" Obadi hugged Alan enthusiastically and patted him on the shoulder: "Of course, we at Stark Industries value the technology of Coulson Magnetic Levitation Company very much, and we think that you represent the future of mankind and can cause subversive changes to the way human beings live!" ”
"Thank you for your interest in us, didn't Mr. Stark come?"
"Huh!" Obadai was stunned for a moment, then laughed, trying to ease the embarrassment with laughter: "Alan, you know, Tony is very busy every day, and he will even have to go to Afghanistan to test weapons for the military in the future, but his value for your company is unparalleled."
Especially you, Allen, Tony Cole admires you very much, thinks that you have achieved so much at such a young age, and that you are an extraordinary genius! ”
"Hey, where, where, how can we deserve such praise from Mr. Stark, as for me, I am still too far away from Mr. Stark!"
It's all kind words, Tony Stark has never been there since the day the financing negotiations began, and where can I see that he values the Coulson Maglev Company.
Also, with Stark's well-known narcissistic personality, how could he praise another person like this, dreaming!
At this time, the artificial intelligence robot Giroud floated to the side, happily emitting an electronic voice like a child's voice: "Welcome Mr. Obadai to Coulson Maglev Company, you will definitely not regret your decision!" ”
Obadi looked at the robot Giroud floating on the side in surprise, and then reacted, and said to Alan with a curious face: "Alan, this is the artificial intelligence you developed, it's very powerful!" ”
"Where, where!" Alan sneered: "No matter how powerful it is, it's not as good as Mr. Stark's Jarvis, I still have a lot to learn from Mr. Stark!" ”
"Hmph, Giroud is angry and ignores Alan!" Hearing that Alan actually belittled himself, Giroud was angry, turned his head and flew away!
Alan watched Giroud fly away dumbfounded, his original intention was to let Giroud show his company's superb scientific and technological strength, but he didn't expect to say a wrong word, which actually made Giroud unhappy, and Alan also had a headache!
"Haha, your artificial intelligence is really interesting, if you read it right, you installed a magnetic levitation device on its body!"
"yes" Alan nodded awkwardly, since he installed the magnetic levitation device for Giroud, he couldn't control it even more, flying around every day.
Alan welcomed Obadiah into the conference room and came out again to wait for the next wave of guests.
"Boss, the Osborne Group is here."
Hearing the employee's words, Alan immediately stood in front of the elevator, opened his arms, and was ready to give Norman Osborne a hug to show his closeness, after all, Norman promised Alan that he would come over in person today to sign the contract.
But when the elevator opens, Alan unexpectedly discovers that the person who came out of the elevator is not Norman Osborne.
It was the COO who led his own tour at the Osborne Group that day, McCann!
"Hi, Mr. McCann!" Alan reacted quickly, and immediately shook McCann's hand warmly, but still asked suspiciously: "What about Uncle Norman, he promised to come to me today!" ”
Norman smiled meaningfully and said: "Just yesterday, Mr. Osborne was dismissed as CEO by the board of directors, and now I am the CEO of Osborne Group, but you can rest assured that the conditions we have negotiated will not change again, and today's signing will be very smooth!" ”
Allen was shocked, Norman Osborne was dismissed as CEO, how did he do it, you must know that he is also the chairman of the board of directors, but this is not a good time to ask in detail, Allen wants everything to go well today.
So Alan pretended not to care at all, and smiled and welcomed Mr. McCann into the room, but planned to call Harry later to ask what was going on.
"Boss, next is the representative of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Allen's mouth, he was curious about who S.H.I.E.L.D. sent to sign the contract, is it an acquaintance?
A bald head stepped out of the elevator.
Seeing him, Alan laughed happily: "Hi, Sitwert...... Uh, sir! ”
Alan choked himself and nearly revealed Agent Sitwell's identity.
However, Sitwell did not panic, and shook Alan's hand with a smile: "Hello, Alan, we meet again." ”
"Boss, do you know Mr. Sitwell?" The employee on the side asked in surprise.
"yes, I ......" Alan couldn't think of a good excuse for a while, and was a little flustered.
"Yes, I'm very good friends with Ellen's father!" Sitwell was an experienced agent and immediately resolved Allen's embarrassment.
Alan still decided not to speak, and immediately welcomed Sitwell into the conference room, but looking at his bald head, Alan couldn't help but want to touch his head.
Alan loved to touch his big bald head when he was a kid!
And Sitwell seemed to feel Allen's gaze, and turned around to meet Allen's gaze aimed at his head, and had to glare at him before Alan left the conference room in a daze.
Finally, there is the representative of the Ford Motor Company, Billy Ford.
"Hi Mr. Ford, welcome!"
Billy shook Allen's hand and said happily, "I want to thank you, thank you for using our Ford vehicles for new product launches, which has increased our sales by a large margin!" ”
"Haha, that's because Ford Motor Company deserves everyone's trust!" Everyone carries the sedan chair.
Billy bowed his head and whispered to Allen: "How is the construction of the new plant, if there is no accident in Washington, the proposal for the production of maglev devices and maglev vehicles on the road will soon be passed, and we can't delay time on our own side!" ”
Alan nodded: "No problem!" ”
Ford Motor Company is really in a hurry, and now Ford has some financial problems on its side, and the situation has even deteriorated to the point of preparing to sell its subsidiaries "Aston Martin", "Jaguar", "Land Rover" and other luxury brands.
However, the emergence of a new generation of maglev technology has given Ford the hope of turning over, so they have defeated all car competitors at all costs and won the financing qualification.
As a result, now that the financing contract has not been signed, they have been impatient to open up Washington, the House of Representatives and other joints, just to allow Ford to mass-produce maglev cars as soon as possible!
Everyone who should have come came, and although the contract details had been negotiated before, it took a while to sign the contract, and by the time the dust had settled, the night in New York had become brightly lit.
Coulson Maglev sold 40 percent of its stake to raise $6.4 billion in cash for 160 million percent of the equity.
The company's CEO, Louis Ollilah, owns 3 percent of the dividend shares, but the voting rights are with Allen, and 60 percent of the company's shares are still with Allen, who still has an absolute controlling stake in the company.
The $6.4 billion, half of which is equity transfer, not counting the company's capital increase, Allen got $3.2 billion in cash, which will allow him to open a brilliant vision for the future.
But with the completion of the company's financing, the cash in hand and the value of the company's equity, Allen has become a billionaire.
Only eighteen years old, the youngest billionaire in the United States!
