Did the world end today?

Chapter 35 This is the real Angel Wheel

Inside the chairman's office at Sky Dome Technology.

Ren Jian sat opposite Lin Xu, holding the confidentiality agreement and patent authorization letter that Lin Xu had brought back, which Xu Jin had already signed. There was no surprise on his face.

In fact, after talking with Chu Xu, he no longer had any doubts about whether this matter could be accomplished.

Nonsense, if they've already come to you, they must have planned this all along.

Since everything has already been planned, how could we possibly get stuck at this step?

Asperger's, autism, and "friends" are all excuses to cut off direct contact.

It's possible that even the documents are complete and intact, but they haven't been fully revealed because our side isn't yet qualified to view them.

Now, Lin Xu's ability to retrieve the letter of authorization in such a short time further confirms his and Chu Xu's suspicions.
-
What kind of good person would just sign a letter of intent right away?

If the technology is not yet complete, shouldn't we sign a "joint research and development agreement" instead?
Bringing back a letter of intent only proves one thing:
The results already exist; we don't need a nobody like Sky Dome Technology to participate in the research and development.

All you have to do is be a good front man for the big shots behind the scenes, do what they need you to do, and maintain the country's image!

In that instant, countless thrilling spy stories flashed through Ren Jian's mind.

He has been in the business world for many years and has seen his share of big events.

Especially after entering the civilian rocket manufacturing industry, he came into contact with many events that were originally considered "hidden legends" even to financial giants.

Even so, he had never been as excited as he was now.

He could almost imagine how patriotic scholars active in certain overseas institutions endured humiliation and hardship to organize research and development by utilizing the resources of "outsiders," how they thrillingly passed on the results to workers on the covert front, how the covert front selected agents in China, and finally delivered this letter of intent to him.

Although it's just a thin page.

But behind that lies the hard work of countless people.

Thinking of this, he sincerely said to Lin Xu in front of him:
"You have worked hard."

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment.

Hard?

It seems like I didn't do anything?

It was indeed hard work.

"The coughing process was indeed a bit bumpy."

Lin Xu began to speak:

"Fortunately, the final result was good."

"My communication with Xu Jin went relatively smoothly. He will apply for a patent after completing the research and development of materials and processes, and grant us the right to use the patent."

"But as a price to pay for the priority right to use it, we need to pay him a sum of money in advance."

"The specific amount of the consideration is still under discussion—as you can see, we have only just reached a preliminary agreement, and many things still need to be discussed further."

"At the same time, the other party also raised the need for equipment and funds."

"Perhaps we need to set up a subsidiary specifically to support subsequent research and development work."

"This is something you also need to consider."

"understand."

Ren Jian's attitude towards Lin Xu was completely unlike that of a superior to a subordinate. To call it "respectful" would be an exaggeration, but at least it was equal.

"Specific business details certainly won't be finalized so quickly. Let's take our time and talk about it. There's no problem."

"As for the subsidiary issue, I think we don't need to waste any more time on it."

"Register if you need to, and make purchases if you need to."

"Once the share allocation is determined, we can complete the company registration within two or three days."

"How about you take charge of the subsequent equipment and raw material procurement, as well as personnel recruitment?"

"what?"

Lin Xu was stunned.

"I?"

"Isn't it appropriate?"

Ren Jian's heart skipped a beat.

He was afraid that his suggestions would not align with Lin Xu's plan, thereby offending the people behind him and missing this huge opportunity.

"It's not impossible."

Lin Xu spoke up to answer.

Ren Jian breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

"You've always been a key member of our company, so I think we should keep your position at Sky Dome Technology for now. As for the new company, you can directly contribute your technology as equity in your personal capacity."

"As for the share distribution among you, Xu Jin, and the company..."

Ren Jian paused at this point.

"According to industry practice, as the sole investor, the company needs to hold at least 33% of the shares."

“But considering that the technology is unrelated to the company, we can take another step back and give up 1% of the shares.”

"That means the company only owns 32% of the shares."

"Do you think it is okay?"

That's great.

Lin Xu didn't even know why he was able to get such generous terms from Ren Jian.

Originally, according to his expectations, this so-called "company" should have been resolved by him, with the company completing most of the capital injection, and then the patent share allocation should have been agreed upon, excluding Tianqiong Technology from the patent rights.

Now that Ren Jian has voluntarily reduced his shareholding to 32%, it means that he has lost his one-third share of veto power, and the company is now completely under his control.

This is what real angel round investment looks like!

This is a true angel!
Lin Xu thought about it from beginning to end, but really couldn't find any pitfalls in the plan.

What's going on? Capitalists are suddenly being charitable?
Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony.

Lin Xu nodded decisively and replied:

"This proposal is reasonable, and I don't think the other party will refuse it."

"Then we can get the preparatory work started as soon as possible."

Hearing Lin Xu's words, Ren Jian couldn't help but laugh.

"Can't say no"?
Nonsense, whether you refuse or not is entirely up to you.
This Tai Chi is what you get for it.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved.

Ren Jian never even dared to dream of obtaining patent rights for the two materials; those things were simply too far out of reach for him.

However, even just having a priority license would be a huge benefit for Sky Dome Technology.

Those are industrial manufacturing processes for two top-tier materials!

If this thing can be manufactured, it's fine for personal use, but if it's sold directly to the market, it would be a devastating blow to the current high-strength carbon fiber market.

At that time, Sky Dome Technology will no longer be limited to the civilian aerospace field, but may even leap to become a high-end materials supplier.

Making money is inevitable, and with this priority and this stable cash flow, investment will naturally follow.

Under this virtuous cycle, the civil aerospace business in the main sector will develop even faster.

What is this called?
It's in a self-looping state!

Ren Jian's heart was pounding.

He realized that this could very well be the biggest opportunity of his life.

And this opportunity comes from the young man in front of us.

We'd better take good care of him!
Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and extended his hand to Lin Xu.

"Then we've basically reached an agreement. I'll have my secretary prepare a to-do list later, and also show you the milestones."

"I will take care of the company's affairs immediately, and I will leave the contract issues to the colleagues on the business side."

"no problem."

Lin Xu nodded quickly.

Goodness, the chairman is creating a to-do list and milestones for himself.

What kind of "reversal of the Heavenly Gang" is this?
Before he could even exchange pleasantries, Ren Jian across from him continued speaking:
"Besides, you've really done a great service for the company this time."

"We'll go through the procedures for the bonus first. Once the prototype is ready, it will be distributed along with the year-end bonus around the end of May."

"Your salary can also be increased—this will be reflected next month."

"Thank you boss."

Lin Xu was neither humble nor arrogant.

I deserve it!

The two exchanged a smile, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then Lin Xu took his leave.

He walked back to his workstation in the corner, and Jiang Xingye eagerly came up to him to ask about the progress.

Lin Xu didn't know how to explain it to her for a moment, so he could only say vaguely:

"It seems like I'm about to become a boss too."
