Midtown Manhattan is the most crowded and prosperous area of Manhattan Island, and it is also the area with the highest density of skyscrapers in the world, and it can even be said that it is the center of the world.

Fifth Avenue, among the rows of high-end commercial buildings, has a newly built 50-story commercial office building.

After Allen got Gwen and left the school, he quickly came here, and the top two floors, the forty-ninth and fifty floors of this office building were bought by Allen at a large price as the headquarters of the "Coulson Maglev Company" in New York.

These two floors are not cheap, when Alan sold League of Legends for $300 million, Louis found an accounting firm for him, and after using all the methods to avoid taxes, Allen still had nearly 250 million left.

Although he still paid more than $50 million in taxes, I have to say that this accounting firm is really awesome and has saved Allen a lot of money.

Later, Allen chose this as the headquarters of his company in New York, with a total of 50 floors, and Allen spent money to buy the highest two-story office building, each with an area of about 20,000 square feet, about 1,858 square meters.

In total, Allen spent about $42 million to buy them.

Later, Allen transformed the top floor into a laboratory, and the research and development of the magnetic levitation device was closely related here.

At the moment, his CEO, Luis Ollilah, is waiting for him at the company.

"Mr. Coulson, your elevator!" The security guard of the office building took the initiative to press the elevator for Alan after seeing Alan come in.

Alan smiled and responded, "Thank you!" ”

The elevator soon came to the forty-ninth floor, and as soon as Alan stepped out of the elevator, he saw a little bit rushing towards him, and shouted: "Dad, you're finally here, I thought you didn't want me anymore!" ”

The corners of Allen's mouth twitched, and he saw a robot with a height of only fifty centimeters and an electronic eye in the middle of his head running over, hugging Allen's leg and rubbing it, and let out a "woo" cry from his electronic sounder while rubbing.

Of course, Eren doesn't have children, this robot is the technology that Alan and Reed cooperated in the development of artificial intelligence at that time, and took it out of the Dragon Ball Treasure Box, this technology and Reed's technology have their own merits, and both of them gave each other a lot of inspiration at the same time.

Later, Alan still chose to focus on the technology in Dragon Ball and developed the artificial intelligence "Giroud! ”

When Giroud was developed, Alan found that he had his own unique personality, Giroud was not like Stark's "Jarvis", who was willing to quietly assist his master, this guy's personality was like a child, curious about everything in the world.

When it learned that its existence was created by Allen, it began to call its creator "Daddy", which made Alan very embarrassed for a while, and Giroud continued to absorb all the information in this world until it wanted to see it for himself.

As a last resort, Alan made it a simple, crude body, and even then, it made the little guy very happy.

Now Giroud is in charge of running the upper and lower floors of the company, and he keeps everything in order, saving the administrative staff a lot of energy and helping Alan a lot.

But its current behavior made Alan extremely embarrassed, looking at the iron lump that was still holding his legs, Alan kicked it away ruthlessly, and hurriedly said: "Louis is still waiting for me!" ”

Alan walked out quickly, leaving Giroud to stay there pitifully, but Alan knew that this would have no effect on Giroud's living treasure at all, and that it would soon find something else to do.

"Boss!"

"Hello boss!"

When Alan walked to the office area, the employees kept saying hello to him, and Alan responded one by one, and soon, Alan came to his CEO's office.

"Tuk Tuk!"

"Please come in!"

"Hi Luis!"

"Alan, you've finally appeared!"

Seeing Allen appear, a middle-aged white man with a slight bald head complained dissatisfied.

Looking at the tired look on his CEO's face because of fatigue, Alan was very upset, at this critical moment of the company's financing, he disappeared for several days inexplicably, which is really not what a responsible boss should do.

"Louis, this time is really hard for you, if you are tired, give you two days off, take a rest first!"

Louis shook his head: "No need, this time is the most critical time, there is no time to rest, now I will report to you on the progress of the negotiations!" ”

Hearing Louis's words, Alan nodded, and did not force it, after all, he was right, and when this time passed, he would be able to relax.

The two sat down at their desks, and Louis took out the sorted materials, handed them to Allen, and began to report the latest situation: "Our company's magnetic levitation technology has attracted the attention of many investment institutions at the moment it was presented to the public. ”

"After we released the news that we accepted financing, the five major investment banks in the United States, Japan's SoftBank, and major consortia all extended olive branches to us, and after three rounds of financing negotiations, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are the two most sincere among the five major investment banks, and are willing to raise funds at the price of 120 million US dollars and 1 percent of the shares!"

Alan looked at the information in his hand and asked, "Then do they have any requirements?" ”

"The two major investment banks all require at least 20% of the company's financing amount, which is the bottom line of their negotiations, which is far from the shares we are willing to give!"

Alan nodded: "What about other investment companies?" ”

"The requirements of other investment institutions are roughly the same as those of the two major investment banks, but the most sincere of them are Stark Industries and Osborne Group, and they are willing to buy no less than 10% of the shares for $130 million!"

Alan tapped his fingers on the tabletop: "And what! ”

"There are also the two major car giants of General Motors and Ford Motor Company, because our maglev device is mainly aimed at the automobile market, the two major car companies fully see the huge benefits, and they give the highest financing price, which can reach 180 million US dollars, but they ask for a controlling stake in our company!"

"It can't be!" Alan immediately rejected the proposal, and he didn't want to give up the company he had worked so hard to build.

Luis nodded, did not feel any surprise, and continued to say calmly: "So our main job now is to increase the investment price of other investment companies and reduce the investment quota of the two major car companies!" ”

"Also, among these investment companies, there is a strange company, called Aegis Company, which is tepid, and the bids have been matching other companies, and now they have also bid to 130 million, but they are not famous, and after my investigation, there are no famous investment cases before, which may not be of much help to us in the future!"

The corners of Allen's eyes twitched, such an obvious name, as soon as you hear it, you will know whose bag company it is, how to say that it is also the world's largest intelligence agency, can you be a little disciplined!

"Leave it alone, if it matches someone else's offer, then give him a part of the financing line, this company can help us in the government and some other special channels!"

"Oh?" Hearing Alan's words, Louis's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Understood! ”

"And our factory in New Jersey has been almost built, covering an area of 12 acres, about 50,000 square meters, the plant has been built, the machine is also being commissioned, and it will be officially put into production soon!"

"Great, Luis, our bright future beckons to us!" Alan said happily.

"But we also ran out of money, and you poured $150 million into the company to buy land, build factories, buy equipment and hire labor, and you spent all of our book money."

"And that's because our company's headquarters in New York is free to use the office property you bought, otherwise we'll be even more stretched, Allen, are we going to take a loan from the bank now?"

"Well, wait, let's talk about the loan after our company's financing, when the time comes, we will not only have a large amount of cash, but the company's evaluation in the bank will be higher, and we can borrow more money with less collateral!"

"Okay, then we'll wait!"

Such a difficult situation is why Alan can't even afford a new car after modifying his car, the money he earned from selling League of Legends has all invested in companies, real estate and experimental equipment, if he can't finance successfully within a month, Alan will go to be a pants!

"Anyway, Luis, you've done a great job!"

Louis nodded: "This is the recent development of our company, Alan, what else do you think, tell me now, I will try to coordinate." ”

Looking at Louis, Alan groaned for a while and said: "So far, everything is fine, that is, the financing price, you can continue to negotiate, test their bottom line, try to increase the price, the financing amount is still so much, I am only willing to give up forty percent of the shares in my hand." ”

"And half of it is equity transfer, half is the company's capital increase, I want money to be useful!"

"Understood!"

Looking at Louis, whose face was tired, Allen continued: "Also, I promised you, when the dust settles, I will give you three percent of the dividend shares, and if you continue to work for me in the future, these shares will become option shares sooner or later!" ”

After all, if the company succeeds in financing, the market value will exceed 10 billion, and the value of three percent of the shares is not low.

At this time, it is also time for Louis to be loyal: "Alan, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to run the company well!" ”

Alan nodded, Louis worked hard to create wealth for him, then Alan would not treat him lightly, in the past few years, Alan has focused on research, cultivation and schooling, and everything in business depends on Louis to maintain.

Although Alan has the genius brain of Dr. Briv and the backing of the Dragon Ball Treasure Box, he has achieved good results in the past few years and has developed many magical inventions, but he knows nothing about commercial things.

And Louis has been working hard to help Allen since he developed League of Legends, so that Allen's business road can go on smoothly, after all, thousands of high-rise buildings are on the ground.

Allen has a very grand vision for the future of this world, and if you want to realize it, you must lay a good foundation to go better and further in the future, which is indispensable for people like Louis

"By the way, our new Hogarth-Zhao Bannowitz Law Firm is okay, right?" Alan asked.

Although the previous law firm had a good reputation, it made Allen lose a lawsuit and lose a lot of money, and in a fit of anger, Allen changed a law firm.

Louis nodded and said affirmatively: "Although Attorney Hogarth is a lady, she has a long reputation in Manhattan, and one of our previous lawsuits was personally resolved by her, and it was very smooth!" ”

"And the other lawyers in their law firm are also very good, Ms. Hogarth assigned us a few transactional lawyers, so that we can avoid a few pitfalls in signing the contract, I am very satisfied with Hogarth-Zhao-Bannowitz Law Firm!"

"That's good, in that case, it's nothing, I'll go first!"

"One more thing, you must have an assistant to help you with things now, you can't go missing for days at a time again!" Louis said unhappily.

"Okay, I'll think about it!"
