The Richest Man in the DC World

For a company less than three months old, $300 million is a huge amount.

Luke paced the room excitedly, like a child receiving a Christmas present for the first time.

Robert sneered in his heart, but his expression did not change, "Mr. Sidney is very satisfied with ShowMe's performance and hopes to sign a contract as soon as possible."

"How long does he wish."

"Two days!"

Luke frowned and was very puzzled. "How can two days be enough? There are a lot of issues to discuss on the separation of equity and business management, not to mention others."

Robert said solemnly, "Boss, you may not know Mr. Sidney. He is a pure investor and will not interfere with the company's management and decision-making power."

"Anything like this?"

Luke doesn't believe that there will be pie in the sky. The investors are big money. They don't get involved in the operation or management. As long as the stock rights and interests are long, this kind of good thing will only appear in the movies.

Robert explained with a smile,

"Mr. Sidney is looking at the growing user base. ShowMe has nearly six million users. In a few months, the number may double several times. No one will ignore this. This is a long-term benefit."

Luke still shook his head, "Having said that, the process is too casual, he doesn't worry about me escaping with the money, it's 300 million US dollars, and it can't be spent in a lifetime!"

"Do you know?"

"of course not!"

"That's not it." Robert spread his hands, "Boss, I think you think too much. The purpose of the company is to raise funds. As long as the money is in hand and the management rights are not lost, the rest is not a problem, of course..." Changed Vice tone, continued,

"If you think there is a problem, we still have the Sequoia Group and the Wayne family. The Sequoia Group requires more than 67% of the shares, and Mr. Alfred of the Wayne family requires 51%. The money is negotiable."

67% is absolutely holding! 51% is relatively holding!

The goals of the two companies are not simple. Needless to say, Sequoia Group has proposed acquisition plans many times, but Luke has rejected them. The big boss behind the scenes is definitely not happy. As for Wayne...

Luke propped his chin and shook his head helplessly,

"It turns out that from the beginning to the end, we only have one choice!"

Robert nodded slightly and did not answer.

"When would Mr. Sidney expect the contract to be signed?"

"They have prepared the relevant materials and legal paperwork and are ready to start."

Luke nodded, "Since the other party is in a hurry to send money, we can't pretend to be reserved. Let's make an appointment in the afternoon and get things done."

"Understood, I'll make arrangements now!"

Robert put away the documents, left the office, and went out the door. For some reason, he let out a long breath, as if the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Raising his hand to wipe his forehead, he found a thin layer of sweat.

Robert shook his head inexplicably, secretly wondering what was wrong with him, and actually became nervous.

Cindy soon found out about the financing, and immediately put down her work and came to Luke's office.

"Boss, are you really going to cooperate with Central Bank?"

"They have the highest bids and the lowest requirements. If you don't choose them, who else can you choose?"

Cindy said with a serious expression, "I have investigated the information of the Central Bank, and its background is very complicated. According to the data, in recent years, the Central Bank has been involved in a number of international money laundering cases. It is very important to choose them as a partner. Might drag ShowMe into the water."

"Is there any evidence?"

"No, but..."

"Everything needs to be told with evidence. Without evidence, it cannot be taken seriously."

Cindy had to say more, but Luke raised his hand and said while sorting out the documents,

"Things have been settled and will not change. By the way, Rowan has been complaining to me about the lack of manpower. You can leave the things at hand and go to the marketing department to help.

There is also the afternoon negotiation, you don't have to go, just me, Will, Charlie, and Robert are enough. "

"I don't think that's right."

Cindy was anxious, "ShowMe's current market value is 80 million US dollars, but the other party has offered 300 million to only acquire 30% of the shares. The premium is more than 12 times. There is definitely a problem."

"Investors are related to the future of the company. They can't just ignore everything because the other party has the highest bid. Even if they choose the central bank, they must check the other party's background. How can they make a hasty decision? And Robert, I always think he has a ghost in his heart. There must be something hiding from us."

This silly girl!

Luke shook his head from the bottom of his heart. After all, he was a business elite who graduated from Stanford University, and he had no brains at all.

"Okay, go back to work, you don't have to worry about this!"

Cindy's persuasion was fruitless, and she slammed the door out in anger. She gritted her teeth secretly. After returning, she must use all connections to find out the background of the Central Bank, and never let ShowMe be destroyed in its hands.

If Luke knew what she was thinking at this time, he would sigh in the sky: Why are the people I trust all clubs!

...

After repeated negotiations by Robert, the two sides decided to arrange the negotiation venue at the Fox Hotel in the West End of the Metropolis.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the representatives of the ShowMe party: Luke Xiao, the boss and legal representative, Will, assistant Charlie, and Robert Downs, who was in charge of the financing plan, arrived at the hotel on time.

When they arrived, Domick Sidney, the general manager of Central Bank, was already in the lobby.

This is a white man in his fifties, he is not tall, he is a little fat, and he wears gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a very shrewd look.

As a junior, Luke was the first to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Sidney, nice to meet you."

Sidney stayed on that too young face for a few seconds, a trace of disdain flashed in his heart, but his expression was very enthusiastic,

"Mr. Xiao is really young and promising. At the age of seventeen, he has achieved something that no one else can achieve in a lifetime. It's amazing, amazing!"

Luke laughed, "Mr. Sidney won the prize, it's just luck."

"this way please!"

"Please!"

The two walked out of the hall side by side and walked towards the conference room on the second floor.

Robert deliberately left behind, taking the opportunity to use the toilet to go around to room 203.

Alexander Rhodes was sitting on the sofa with a submachine gun in his hand and a large cigarette in his mouth.

Robert bowed his head to his side and whispered,

"Already prepared."

Alexander waved his hand impatiently, indicating that Robert could get out. The latter did not dare to stay any longer, and when he reached the door, he turned around and said,

"Boss Rhodes, when negotiating later, you must pay attention, you can't..."

"rest assured!"

Alexander grinned and made no secret of the sarcasm on his face, "No one knows you are a traitor!"

Robert smiled awkwardly and turned to leave.

In the conference room on the second floor, there is a long table in the middle, ShowMe sits on the east side of the table, and the central bank sits on the west side.

If there is not much courtesy, after the formal introduction, the two sides exchange materials.

The contract provided by the central bank is a bit simple, not like the handwriting of a big company, but fortunately there are as many contracts as there should be.

The two major parts of operation and management are clearly marked. As an investor, Party A will not interfere in Party B's operation and management and personnel changes. However, there are great differences in capital and equity.

After seeing the numbers above, Charlie and Will changed their faces at the same time, and Robert resisted the dryness and said,

"Mr. Sidney, did you get it wrong?"
