The Black Card - Chapter 798
[Chapter 796: It’s not that I don’t want it, it’s that I can’t.]
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 that he wanted to give him a gift…
Could it be…?
In fact, what Shi Lei wanted to say was also related to the shares of that company.
Genetic engineering is a very mature topic, and the conversation showed that it is likely to be put into production. Shi Lei certainly hopes to obtain the investment rights of such a company.
According to Ding Yu’s original words, his demand for Series A financing after the establishment of the company reached 100 million US dollars, which of course Shi Lei could not afford.
Even if he sells all his shares in Qixuan now, he may not be able to afford such financing.
Shi Lei just wanted to obtain the investment rights for a certain number of shares, and he wanted Yu Banzhi and him to complete this part of the investment rights together.
Exactly how much he can invest depends on how much Yu Banzhi is willing to pay.
Unexpectedly, Ding Yu also talked about this topic. Of course, Shi Lei would be very surprised.
It can’t be said that Ding Yu plans to give some shares to Shi Lei, right?
According to Ding Yu’s financing needs for Series A, his valuation of his company has actually reached one billion U.S. dollars. If he gives it away casually, it would be hundreds of millions of soft sister coins.
“Mr. Ding, what do you mean?”
Ding Yu didn’t hesitate. He immediately said: “Of the 60% of the shares, I expect that it will be divided into four rounds of financing, each time of course being 10%. Moreover, for financing Of the shares, I do not intend to dilute the shares of my colleagues. In other words, these 40% of the shares will be sold by me personally. All the financing received will be used for the operation and development of the company.”
Shi Lei took a breath of air-conditioning and thought to himself that this Ding Yu is really generous. Should he be called great or stupid?
As long as Ding Yu’s prediction on this topic is correct, even if all his ideas for Series A financing are followed, the 40% stake will be US$400 million.
What’s more, once the A round of financing really gets US$100 million, the next three rounds will only be even higher.
At a casual estimate, it may exceed one billion U.S. dollars.
Ding Yu is equivalent to throwing away a billion dollars directly.
“So, after four rounds of financing, I will only have 20% of the shares left in my hand. And I want to share these shares equally with Mr. Shi. Moreover, I hope that Mr. Shi will be the CEO of the company. I only want to 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? You mean, you plan to give me 10% of the shares?”
Ding Yu was sure He said: “Yes, that’s what I meant.”
“Why?” Shi Lei couldn’t understand it at all.
Ding Yu struggled and hesitated, but didn’t know what to say to Shi Lei.
In fact, this was a decision he made after thinking about it for a long time.
He knew that this ten percent share was worth a lot of money.
Even though he is just a scientist, he has gained a deep understanding of the capital market while working at Eyes of Darkness over the past year.
At the beginning, the Americans offered $100 million to acquire their entire project. In his opinion, this was simply a cheap move.
After this year, Eyes of the Night has invested tens of millions of dollars in research and development funds for this topic, and they have become increasingly confident that they will be able to produce corresponding products soon.
By that time, once the company is established and the results of the project are made public, the valuation of one billion US dollars will only be 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 does not reach more than 10 billion, it is actually equivalent to them paying for this All the efforts put into the subject were in vain.
If everything develops according to Ding Yu’s vision, the 10% share he decided to give up will be worth at least one billion US dollars.
Even if calculated based on Series A financing, it is worth US$100 million in shares.
Of course, Ding Yu would be a little reluctant to give Shi Lei a billion dollars.
However, he understood better that if he did not give away these shares, he would probably get nothing.
The ferryman wanted to win over Shi Lei and gain Shi Lei’s support, and he knew all of this.
Of course he knew why the ferryman was like this.
This is because the ferryman has a deep fear of Shi Lei, and he even puts Shi Lei on a level that can affect many things in the Eye of the Night.
So, if Shi Lei becomes the largest shareholder of this company, or plays a role like the helm, the ferryman will not dare to attack this company that has not yet been established.
This is the whole reason why Ding Yu wants to take advantage of Shi Lei and give him such a big gift for nothing.
While Ding Yu was hesitating, Shi Lei had already thought of this.
He said: “When you told the ferryman that you had not tampered with the hard drive and drew a clear line with him, he threatened you and made it impossible for your company to develop?”
Ding Yu was confused. He didn’t expect Shi Lei He was able to guess this. He was impressed by Shi Lei’s IQ, but he didn’t understand at all that this actually had little to do with IQ. It still stayed at the level of human feelings and sophistication.
“Mr. Shi’s wisdom is impressive.”
Shi Lei shook his head and said, “So, you reluctantly gave up ten points of shares just because you want to use me in exchange for the normal operation and development of this company in the future?”
Ding Yu knew that, At this time, there was no need to hide anything. He said: “I’m sorry, Mr. Shi, but I don’t think this is taking advantage. This is a costless thing for you, right? And you will never be 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 thought Shi Lei would accept it without hesitation. He said eagerly: “Mr. Shi, maybe you don’t understand our topic yet. Once we get the final breakthrough and form a complete product, our topic , I bet that our Series A financing will never be less than 100 million U.S. dollars. And after four rounds of financing, I believe the company’s valuation will definitely exceed 10 billion U.S. dollars.” “
No, I’m not doubting your future on this topic. On the contrary, it is precisely because of my belief that I feel that this gift is too heavy, so heavy that I cannot bear it.”
Ding Yu became more and more anxious, and he said: “Mr. Shi, are you willing to see me… …No, the biggest breakthrough in genetic engineering in the world was 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 for others to bring it to his door. He doesn’t want the benefits.
But, he can’t have it.
If he accepts it, it means that he has used the ability 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 tantamount to using the ability given to him by the black card to make money.
Although this is not written into 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 in my heart from a distance 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.
