"I'm sorry Zheng Yan, please wait a moment. A friend is coming today. He must have arrived. I'll open the door first."

After Leonard finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

"Zheng Yan, are you so optimistic about Cisco? You have to know that the financing price you gave has already taken a huge risk. If you take over the stock underwriting, the risk..."

Bill Miller was also a little confused. He didn't find it strange that Zheng Yan was optimistic about the development of Cisco, but Zheng Yan's confidence in Cisco seemed a little too full, even more than the confidence of the founder Leonard.

Much more than enough.

"Bill, I don't know how to explain some things, but one thing I am very sure about is that no one in this world has more confidence in Cisco than me. Of course, even if the investment fails in the end, it will not have any impact on me.

"

Just when Bill Miller was about to speak again, Leonard led a middle-aged man in.

"Bill, Zheng Yan, let me introduce to you, this is Larry Ellison from Oracle, and he is also a good friend of mine."

"Larry, this is Bill, the head of the Legg Manson Value Fund. This is Zheng Yan, from China."

After the two parties greeted each other, Zheng Yan began to recall the information about the big boss in front of him.

Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, the world's largest database software company, is famous for his arrogance and lavish spending. He is also known as the most interesting and controversial CEO.

At the same time, Zheng Yan also knew some things about Oracle, and couldn't help but start thinking about Larry Ellison.

"Okay Zheng Yan, we can continue the topic just now."

Just as Zheng Yan was thinking, Leonard spoke.

The conditions given by Zheng Yan have dispelled all Leonard's concerns and aroused Leonard's strong interest.

"Leonard, it's rare that you look so impatient. What were you talking about just now? I'm a little curious."

Larry Ellison was originally a little curious about Zheng Yan, but after listening to Leonard's words, his curiosity became even more intense.

"Oh Larry, I just forgot to mention that Zheng Yan has an investment company under his name.

The company came to the United States this time because it hopes to participate in Cisco’s financing, and we have just been discussing this issue.”

Although Larry Ellison had a lot of problems, he still endured it after hearing Leonard's words.

"Zheng Yan, I have to say that the conditions you gave are impeccable. If compared with other investment companies, I even feel that they are robbing me."

Leonard had already recognized Zheng Yan's conditions in his heart, so he spoke much more relaxedly and even joked.

"Zheng Yan, I have one last question. If you can satisfy me, then I will agree to your financing conditions."

"First of all, I hope you don't mind. If according to your conditions, in addition to raising $100 million in financing, you also want to undertake stock underwriting. The funds involved are an astronomical amount. I don't know if your Yanhuang Investment has the

Such strength.”

Originally Zheng Yan was still worried that something might happen to Leonard, but after listening to what the other party said, Zheng Yan knew that the matter was settled.

"Leonard, we still have over a billion US dollars in our Yanhuang Investment account. If we wait a few more months, it will become several billion US dollars. This capital can be verified at any time." Zheng Yan said with a smile.

Zheng Yan's answer shocked several people again, including Larry Ellison, who had just entered the house and was known for spending money like water.

At the same time, Zheng Yan's words also made Leonard breathe a sigh of relief.

Leonard is not worried about Cisco's future profitability. He is only worried about the stock market reaction in the initial stage of the company's listing. He firmly believes that as long as it gets through the initial stage of listing, Cisco's development will be bright.

"Okay Zheng Yan, if that's the case, then I think you can come to our company to sign a contract tomorrow. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

“A pleasure to work with!”

After receiving Leonard's affirmative reply, Zheng Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, now that you're done talking, can I ask a few questions?"

Larry Ellison was already a little curious about Zheng Yan, and coupled with the conversation between Leonard and Zheng Yan just now, he was holding back a lot of questions.

"Of course, we are all friends, if you have any questions, just ask

that is."

Since Leonard invited Larry Ellison to his home for the family dinner, there is no need to talk about their relationship.

"Leonard, according to you, Zheng Yan will provide Cisco with $100 million in financing. Aren't you worried about the issue of controlling rights in the later period?"

Larry Ellison also knew that his problem might affect Zheng Yan's negotiation just now, so he turned to Zheng Yan and said: "Zheng Yan, maybe my problem will cause trouble to you, but Leonard and I are good friends after all.

Friend, I hope you don’t mind.”

Zheng Yan smiled and said that he didn't mind at all. At the same time, he was still thinking that it seemed that the rumors about Larry Ellison's arrogance were not completely false.

Leonard also smiled and said, "Larry, I think you misunderstood. But that's right. If I were in your shoes, I would have the same doubts."

"You would never guess how many shares Zheng Yan would require to raise $100 million, but I can let you guess."

Leonard was visibly relaxed and even joked with Larry Ellison.

"If we look at Cisco's current situation and he is willing to undertake Cisco's stock underwriting, I think it should be around 20%."

"Haha...Larry, I knew you wouldn't guess that Zheng Yan only asked for 10% of the shares. Unexpected, right?"

"What? Just ten percent?"

Larry Ellison looked at Leonard in shock.

"It seems that I missed an excellent investment opportunity. Maybe I should have agreed to your request for cooperation. Now I just hope that I will not regret it in the future."

Originally, when Leonard was financing, he also approached Larry Ellison, hoping to reach a cooperation with Oracle. However, Oracle was undergoing crazy global expansion and was also very tight on funds, so Larry Ellison also

Rejected the other party's request.

However, although Larry Ellison said so, he didn't feel so in his heart. In his opinion, Zheng Yan just got lucky and made a fortune, and then became a little ignorant.

"It seems that you have finished talking about things, and Larry is here too. Shall we start dinner?"

At this time, Santilerna and Leslie happened to come over.
