"Zhong Wei Technology is willing to invest fifty million. Thirty million will be used to establish a subsidiary with Fei Yang New Material, with Zhong Wei Technology requesting a 51% stake and Fei Yang New Material holding 49%. The subsidiary's production, operation, and management activities will be directly under the jurisdiction of Zhong Wei Technology. The remaining twenty million will be the patent fee for the subsidiary to purchase the FY-01 material..."
"Qian Jia/Di Guang hopes to obtain the patent license for the FY-01 material, fifty million for five years..."
After Hua Long Technology, Zhong Wei Technology proposed a plan that was even more appealing to Zhou Feiyu.
Qian Jia Technology and Di Guang Optics seemed to have given up on the idea of investing and instead sought the next best option, only offering to purchase the patent license for the FY-01 material for ten million per year, signing a contract for five consecutive years.
To be honest, Zhou Feiyu was not satisfied with any of these conditions.
Compared to King Company, the price they offered was too low.
Of course, King Company, having developed for over half a century, had long passed the stage of conquering the market with a single material. It now operates in numerous industries, which is why it has a market value of several tens of billions of US dollars today.
Fei Yang New Material is just starting out. Even if it has potential, it is only potential and cannot be considered true strength.
After careful consideration, Zhou Feiyu also listened to the opinions of Li Shihan, Xiao Jianguo, Wang Lei, and others, and finally made a decision.
He gathered Hua Long, Zhong Wei, Qian Jia, and Di Guang together and stated his conditions: "Fei Yang New Material has decided not to accept investment, but I will exclusively license the patent rights for the FY-01 material to Fei Yang New Material. Under the name of Fei Yang New Material, a subsidiary specializing in the production of optical films, Fei Yang Optics, will be established. Here, I welcome everyone to participate in the investment..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was astonished.
This was a plan that Zhou Feiyu had been thinking about for a long time over the past few days.
Fei Yang New Material, as his base camp, involves patent ownership, production and operation, and his own secrets, so it cannot accept external investment and must be 100% controlled by him.
Therefore, establishing a subsidiary is very necessary, as it can create a separation and facilitate subsequent operations.
"This move is well played!"
Zhao Yongyong, the Vice President of Strategic Investment at Hua Long Technology, sighed inwardly, knowing that the opportunity for exclusive investment was completely gone and likely would not come again in the future.
"Good heavens, this is taking it a step further, wanting to get all sorts of benefits."
Chen Xi, the Executive Vice President of Zhong Wei Technology, found it somewhat amusing and also felt a hint of regret. He thought that Zhou Feiyu had modified his proposal based on it, and that Zhou Feiyu had been inspired by him.
The people from Qian Jia and Di Guang exchanged glances, feeling both disappointed and fortunate.
The disappointment was naturally because their companies had lost such a large source of wealth; the fortune was because everyone was in the same boat, and there was still an opportunity to invest, so it wasn't a complete failure.
Although the four companies had their own thoughts, facing Zhou Feiyu's FY-01, a material that could be called perfect, no one was willing to let go and withdraw. Therefore, while Zhou Feiyu was still speaking, the four companies began to calculate what price they should offer.
"...Fei Yang Optics' first round of investment will be valued at a total of one hundred million, divided into one hundred shares. Fei Yang New Material will contribute the patent as equity, holding 60% of the shares. Fei Yang New Material will not be heavily involved in the production, operation, and management of Fei Yang Optics, but it will have a veto right."
Zhou Feiyu's final conditions did not exceed the expectations of the four companies by too much.
Thus, after a brief silence and recess for discussion, when they gathered again, the four companies had another fierce argument and all agreed to Zhou Feiyu's conditions, basically finalizing the matter.
The final result was the freshly established Fei Yang Optics, valued at one hundred million.
Fei Yang New Material holds 60% of the shares, and Zhou Feiyu holds 100% of Fei Yang New Material's shares, which means that 60% of the shares of this freshly established Fei Yang Optics belong to him.
The remaining 40% will be divided among the four companies: Hua Long, Zhong Wei, Qian Jia, and Di Guang. Among them, Hua Long and Zhong Wei each hold 15% of the shares, and Qian Jia and Di Guang each hold 5%.
Hua Long and Zhong Wei are the two most important customers of Qian Jia and Di Guang, and they absolutely cannot afford to offend them, so Qian Jia and Di Guang could only choose to reluctantly give up some shares.
Subsequently, the five parties signed a memorandum of understanding. The formal contract can be signed after the details are further discussed and confirmed.
Wang Lei, the lawyer, played a professional and important role at this time, reminding and explaining many details that Zhou Feiyu did not know.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
After the memorandum was signed, the five parties shook hands, all smiling broadly, and then took photos as a souvenir.
Completing all this took about an hour.
The conference room doors opened, and the group filed out. People from Hua Long, Zhong Wei, Qian Jia, and Di Guang left one after another, needing to rush back to their companies to report the detailed specifics to their leadership.
"Son, how was it? Did you reach an agreement?"
After seeing Wang Lei escort them out, when Zhou Feiyu returned to his office, his parents had already been waiting for a long time. As soon as they saw him, they quickly asked with concern.
"We reached an agreement, it went very smoothly."
Zhou Feiyu nodded and said with a smile, "We sold 40% of the shares for forty million!"
"How much?"
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou suspected they had misheard.
Forty million? This small factory is worth forty million?
Li Shihan was a little excited. Seeing the two elders' confusion, she immediately smiled and explained, "Uncle and Auntie, you didn't mishear. Little Yu Ge is preparing to partner with them to open a new company. They bought 40% of the shares in the new company for forty million."
Only then did Father Zhou and Mother Zhou finally believe that their son's company had indeed sold some shares for forty million. They couldn't help but gasp, "It hasn't been that long, and it's already forty million? This money is too easy to come by."
Li Shihan let out a chuckle, "Money is certainly money. It's the material Little Yu Ge developed that's amazing. They all saw that they could make more money, which is why they invested so much."
Hearing this, Father Zhou, with a face full of smiles, said in a regretful tone, "Then they still got it cheap."
"Each gets what they need."
Zhou Feiyu couldn't help but smile.
When they went out, Xiao Jianguo was excitedly telling his wife, Jiang Xinyi, about the investment. Clearly, Jiang Xinyi was quite shaken by the sudden news, her face filled with an expression of disbelief.
Jiang Xinyi subconsciously said, "So, President Zhou is already a billionaire?"
Xiao Jianguo was stunned. It seemed that was the case.
Although it was on paper, he was at least a quasi-billionaire.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Feiyu had already walked over and said to them, "Don't rush, this is just the beginning. Soon, you old-timers will also be billionaires."
Xiao Jianguo and Jiang Xinyi's expressions froze instantly, and their heartbeats more than doubled. They had never thought about this, nor dared to!
Wang Lei, who had just returned from seeing people off, also heard this and stopped in his tracks for a moment.
Three days later, when everything was finalized, the four companies, Hua Long, Zhong Wei, Qian Jia, and Di Guang, came to Nanjiang County again and formally signed the contract under the witness of the top leader of Nanjiang County.
On that day, the signing of this contract became the biggest event in Nanjiang County and made the front page headlines of the Nanjiang County and Nanjiang City newspapers and television stations. It was even broadcast for nearly three minutes on the Nanjiang Province television station's evening news.
