Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

As they climbed the slightly worn cement stairs, Chen Mo and Lin Wan arrived at the simple meeting room on the second floor.

As soon as I opened the door, a strong smell of tobacco hit me.

In the conference room, a huge whiteboard was covered with various chemical equations and molecular structure diagrams.

Two middle-aged men with bird's nest-like hair and heavy dark circles under their eyes sat at the conference table.

The two middle-aged men were stunned when they saw the two people who pushed the door open and came in, especially Chen Mo, who walked in front and looked like a high school student.

It wasn't until they saw Lin Wan, who was following behind Chen Mo and exuded an extremely professional and capable aura, that they suddenly realized what was happening.

"Hello! Are you Mr. Chen and Assistant Lin? I am Liu Ming, the founder of Deer Technology, and this is my partner, Zhang Hai."

Wearing thick-rimmed glasses and a slightly yellowed white coat, Liu Ming quickly stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette, strode forward, and extended his hand.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang." Chen Mo smiled and shook hands with them, then naturally sat down in the host and guest seats.

Lin Wan then deftly took out several confidentiality agreements and supplementary due diligence documents from her briefcase and placed them neatly on the table, making the entire process watertight.

"Mr. Chen, Assistant Lin said on the phone that you are interested in our Deer Technology project..." Zhang Hai rubbed his hands, his expression revealing undisguised anxiety. "To be honest, we are currently facing a major funding bottleneck. If we don't get the money by the end of this month, the pilot production line in the southern suburbs will have to shut down, and the company won't be able to pay its electricity bills."

Liu Ming pushed up his glasses, quickly opened the old laptop on the table, pulled up a PowerPoint presentation, and began to introduce it in a somewhat hurried but enthusiastic tone:

"Mr. Chen, although we are facing difficulties right now, our technological direction is absolutely sound! Our current focus is on high-purity electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid and primary fluorine fine chemical materials. These materials are widely used in semiconductor cleaning and panel manufacturing. Currently, the high-end market in China is almost completely monopolized by overseas giants like Japan's Daikin and the US's 3M. ​​As long as we can achieve mass production, we will definitely be able to…"

"Mr. Liu."

Chen Mo gently raised his hand, interrupting Liu Ming's somewhat lackluster commercial endorsement.

He didn't look at the rough PowerPoint presentation, but instead focused his attention on the complex molecular formulas on the whiteboard.

"Your situation was clearly described in the due diligence report Lin Wan gave me. You two even mortgaged your own house to carry out research and development. I personally admire your dedication to technology."

Chen Mo placed his hands on the table, leaning slightly forward: "However, if your vision is limited to the domestic substitution of primary materials like electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid, then your perspective is too narrow."

Liu Ming and Zhang Hai looked at each other, both stunned.

"What era will the next five to ten years be?" Chen Mo didn't wait for their answer and directly threw out the answer, "It will be the era of new energy, the era of the full-scale explosion of lithium batteries."

Chen Mo tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said slowly and deliberately, "The real game that will propel De'er Technology to new heights is fluorine-containing new energy materials."

"PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), the positive electrode binder of power batteries, and lithium hexafluorophosphate, the core solute of electrolytes, are the lifelines that will hold the global new energy industry in the throat in the future! And your current technological reserves and the direction of fluorine-containing technologies are the perfect foundation for entering these two golden tracks."

Upon hearing this, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Liu Ming's hand holding the laser pointer trembled violently. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Chen Mo as if he had seen an alien, and his breathing became extremely heavy.

"Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen, you actually know about these things?!"

Liu Ming was so excited that his voice was trembling.

The technical route that Chen Mo just mentioned is the ultimate technical blueprint hidden deep in his heart!

But he didn't dare to include it in his fundraising presentation, because in 2014, if he talked about new energy and the entire high-end fluorochemical industry chain to investors who only care about short-term returns, they would just think he was a money-grabbing madman!

But this eighteen-year-old boy in front of him not only saw through this thin veil at a glance, but even saw further and more clearly than him, a tech fanatic!

"Not only that."

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and continued, "I'm not investing in you so you can do low-end OEM for overseas giants. I want you to build a completely independent and controllable fluorochemical industry chain, from fluorite mining to hydrofluoric acid, and then to fluorinated fine chemicals and fluoropolymers! Completely shatter the overseas technological monopoly barriers!"

"I've shown you the route. Now, let's start negotiating the price."

Chen Mo looked sharply at Zhang Hai: "Mr. Zhang, how much money did you originally plan to raise?"

Zhang Hai swallowed hard, then raised a finger with some difficulty: "We...we're offering 20% ​​of our shares, hoping to raise...ten million. With that ten million, we can get the pilot production line running..."

"Ten million isn't enough to build the entire industry chain; it can only keep you afloat."

Chen Mo shook his head decisively, then held up four fingers: "I'll offer forty million."

"Forty...forty million?!" Liu Ming and Zhang Hai gasped simultaneously, so shocked that they stood up from their chairs.

For them now, this is an astronomical sum!

"Yes, forty million in pure cash. Once the contract is signed, the full amount will be transferred to your corporate account within 24 hours." Chen Mo's expression was calm, as if he were only talking about four thousand yuan. "But in exchange, I want 40% of De'er Technology's shares."

Seeing the hesitation on their faces due to the large shareholding ratio, Chen Mo smiled faintly and offered his final reassurance:

"Rest assured, I believe in leaving professional matters to professionals. I only need equity and the board's veto power. I will not interfere with the company's daily operations, technological research and development direction, or personnel appointments and dismissals. You will remain the absolute leaders of this company."

"Moreover, if you want to expand production on a large scale in the future, even if it requires hundreds of millions or billions, the capital behind me will unconditionally cover it. All you need to do is follow the plan I've outlined in terms of technology."

Liu Ming and Zhang Hai exchanged a glance, both seeing the raging fire in each other's eyes.

"President Chen!" Liu Ming's eyes reddened slightly. He suddenly reached out and tightly grasped Chen Mo's hands. "You are not only our investor, but also the mentor of De'er Technology! We'll give you these 40% of the shares! From now on, the life of De'er Technology is in your hands!"

"It's a pleasure working with you." Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Things went more smoothly than he had imagined. He pointed out the future development path of Deer Technology and provided huge financial support, which was like a godsend for the two bosses who were both technicians. They had no reason to refuse.

Standing to the side, Lin Wan looked at the young man who had completely won over the two technical experts with just a few words and secured a 40% stake. Her admiration and shock were intense.

She took a deep breath, took out a blank equity investment agreement and a pen that she had prepared beforehand from her briefcase, and handed them over with a smile:

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang, if there are no problems, we can sign the initial agreement now. The investment of 40 million will be transferred to your company's account before 9:00 AM tomorrow morning."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

With the signatures and bright red official seals affixed to the two agreements, this epic angel round investment, destined to change the landscape of China's fluorochemical industry in the future, has come to a close.

Stepping out of the dilapidated factory, the late autumn breeze caressed my face.

Chen Mo took a deep breath, glanced back at the simple factory, and felt a sense of fulfillment and joy. Snatching a future super unicorn, this feeling of controlling the future was truly exhilarating.

Moreover, he knows more than just these trump cards. In this new life, he wants wealth, power, and everything else.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Lin Wan." Chen Mo stopped and looked at Lin Wan beside him. "The due diligence report and agreement were prepared perfectly, saving me a lot of trouble. Are you free tonight? Let's have a casual dinner together, as a way to celebrate."

Faced with the invitation from this mysterious young man, Lin Wan was slightly taken aback, then a smile bloomed on her delicate face: "It is my honor to have dinner with President Chen."

Back in the car, Lin Wan started the Mercedes.

The small county town is only so big, and apart from the Peninsula Restaurant that Chen Mo just went to last night, there really isn't another high-end restaurant that can be considered presentable.

When the eye-catching Mercedes-Benz S-Class with its five 8s pulled up in front of the Peninsula Restaurant again, the lobby manager even jogged over to personally greet them and invited the two to a private VIP seat.

Under the warm yellow lights of the upscale room, soothing saxophone music flowed gently.

Lin Wan took off her slightly stiff coat, leaving only her fitted shirt, her stunning curves dazzling under the lights.

After a few glasses of red wine, a captivating blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and the atmosphere gradually softened, becoming more relaxed and harmonious.

While eating, Chen Mo casually started a conversation: "You said in the car earlier that your family doesn't have any connections. Are your parents local? You work so hard, don't your family keep an eye on you?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Wan abruptly stopped cutting her steak.

Her slender fingers unconsciously tightened their grip on the silver knife and fork, her long eyelashes drooping down to conceal the fleeting bitterness in her eyes.

She gently bit her moist lower lip, her voice becoming slightly hoarse: "...Yes, we're all local. It's just...the situation at home is a bit complicated, I can't explain it all in a short time..."

Chen Mo keenly noticed the change in her emotions.

He didn't have that obnoxious tendency to pry into things just because of his status. He naturally raised his wine glass, gently lifted it in mid-air, and smiled warmly: "Every family has its own troubles. Since you don't want to talk about it, let's not. When you're out eating, the most important thing is to have fun. Try this restaurant's foie gras; it's alright."

This perfectly timed thoughtfulness and sense of propriety instantly relaxed Lin Wan's tense nerves.

She looked up at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

"By the way, let's get back to the main topic."

Chen Mo put down his knife and fork. "Tomorrow, help me expedite the registration of a new company. The name will be Star Technology."

"I can't directly hold the 40% stake in De'er Technology in my personal name; I need a clean entity shell. Tomorrow, I'll transfer the 40 million investment to Xingchen Technology's account, and then Xingchen will fully invest in De'er under its name. You'll handle all the fund transfers, legal procedures, and corporate account formalities. Any questions?"

Lin Wan immediately composed herself and nodded solemnly: "No problem, President Chen. I will use the bank's VIP channel to ensure that Xingchen Technology's business license and the 40 million yuan in corporate funds are in place simultaneously by tomorrow morning."

Chen Mo leaned back in his leather chair, quietly looking at the woman in front of him who was exceptional in terms of figure, appearance, emotional intelligence, and professional ability.

"Lin Wan, I don't like to beat around the bush when I speak."

Chen Mo crossed his arms. "You know my assets, but this is just the beginning. My future business portfolio will be extremely large. Right now, I desperately need a secretary who can help me manage everything."

"The county branch of Huaguo Bank is not worthy of your talent." Chen Mo stared at her beautiful eyes, which were slightly wide with shock, and decisively extended an olive branch, "Resign. Come and help me."

"If you just nod your head, your annual salary will start at ten times what it is now. As the business grows, I guarantee you will achieve financial freedom."
