The tripartite meeting, Feng Hao, Liang Chao, and Wenmeng are currently conducting a conference call.

"Mr. Feng, I went to Yirui with President Liang today, and the negotiation situation is not bad."

"Meet the management of Inspiration today, what is the situation?"

"Mr. Feng, Wang Yue, the boss of Inspire, has high requirements for the valuation of Inspire. At present, we have reached the highest price of 12 million, but he is still not satisfied. He is organizing related meetings, and he partners to discuss."

Wenmeng responded to Feng Hao's words with a smile, and told the conversation with Yirui today.

"Is this the case? I am afraid that Inspire is trying to raise the price. According to what you said, Wang Yue, as the major shareholder of Inspire, basically has absolute control, and the control is very strong, so he can Make up your own mind."

Feng Hao heard the words, and after a little analysis, he knew that Wang Yue's mental activity was nothing more than trying to raise the price.

Of course, the very small possibility is that he is ready to refuse, but he is still hesitating.

"President Feng, this is very possible. If Wang Yue is raising the price, what should we do?"

"It's okay to raise the price appropriately, try not to exceed 150,000, and at most 20 million. If it exceeds, then there is no need to buy it."

After thinking for a while, Feng Hao responded to Wenmeng with a smile.

The QR code is indeed very good, and the future development of Inspiration must not be bad, but it is obviously impossible for the hacker group to acquire it at a high price.

There are many applications of QR codes, but for hacker groups, WeChat is used more often.

Besides, it really doesn't work, let WeChat research its own QR code engine.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, I know the situation. If the price is too high, we will report to you."

"Thank you for your hard work. When you arrive in Greentown, I will invite you to a feast."

"Thank you, Mr. Feng."

"Thank you, Mr. Feng."

After receiving Feng Hao's response, both Wenmeng and Liang Chao happily thanked Feng Hao.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Hao pondered, Intentional still tried to acquire as much as possible, mainly to save the time of developing the QR code engine.

The hacker group needs to launch the QR code as soon as possible and apply it successfully, so that WeChat can occupy the market faster.

In the future, Inspire can also develop a patent!

The patent of scanning the QR code!

This is the QR code patent that Feng Hao is going to develop. Anyone who wants to scan it in the future will have to pay the hacker group!

"This technology seems to have been developed by someone else later and registered for a patent separately."

Feng Hao murmured in a low voice, the hacker group can use it to swipe, and WeChat will be available soon.

...

Kyoto, Inspire Technology, shareholders meeting.

"Everyone knows the situation of the harmonious negotiation. What are your thoughts?"

Wang Yue just briefly explained the investment situation created by Hacker Group and Haotian, and asked a group of partners.

Inspiration has never raised funds from outside, and these founders have paid for it, so it is not too difficult to gather all shareholders.

It is equivalent to holding a high-level meeting of a company, very simple.

It's just that today's high-level meeting is a little different!

Topic, different from usual!

"Mr. Wang, this hacker group is a big company. It's a very hot company in Gui Province recently. Is this going to buy us?"

"Mr. Wang, yes, what's the price? Are you going to buy it wholly?"

"Mr. Wang, what's your opinion, will you sell Inspiration?"

Faced with the questions raised by Wang Yue, everyone asked them one after another. The questions were different, but they all cared about their own interests.

They were originally graduates of Beijing University, Tsinghua University, and Harbin Institute of Technology, and they joined Inspire for a while.

Inspiration has been working diligently, but after a long period of time, they found that there is a little gap between reality and ideal.

Before, many of the things that Wang Yue had licensed were not realized, especially the development of the company, which has always been a small enterprise.

The situation Rui is facing, of course, they are very clear as senior executives, they will not be able to refinance, and they are not far from bankruptcy.

Now that they have received the investment intention of the hacker group, they are of course very concerned about it. After all, the hacker group is a big company, and it is good to enjoy the shade with the back of a big tree.

If the investment is obtained, Inspiration will take off directly, and there is no need to worry about bankruptcy anymore.

"Yes, the group group is going to acquire us wholly, and the price is not very low. Now, I'm asking for your opinion."

Wang Yue looked at everyone, these were the partners who fought the world with him.

For a long time, Yi Rui could only make ends meet and struggle to maintain the status quo, which was a bit tricky for them.

However, they are all adults, and if they are pitted, they will be pitted.

He didn't want to, how did he know that the QR code industry was so pitted!

"Mr. Wang, you led us to start the company together. Of course we listen to you."

"Yes, Brother Wang, it all depends on what you mean, we will definitely follow you."

"Mr. Wang, you can make a decision."

Facing Wang Yue's inquiry, everyone immediately responded with a smile and let Wang Yue make a decision.

What's so special, the total equity in their hands is only about 20%!

No matter what, Wang Yue, who is absolutely controlling, must listen to Wang Yue.

If they want to sell, they can only sell their own equity, and only sell their own equity, which may not be able to sell for a price.

What's more, Wang Yue has the right of first refusal.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Yue felt a little relieved.

The team he has formed is still quite good at present, at least the core is still there, and everyone is willing to work hard with him.

So, Wang Yue responded with a smile: "I mean financing and only selling part of the equity. I have always had deep feelings for Inspire, and I don't want to sell all Inspire."

"Mr. Wang, do you mean to only accept financing, not to accept the holding or wholly-owned acquisition of Hacker Group?"

Wang Yue's meaning was very clear, but a middle-aged man asked in surprise.

Obviously there is a conflict of opinion. He believes that the hacker group is a large enterprise, and they may not be willing to invest only without holding a controlling stake. In that case, it may be difficult for them to be determined.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's expression became a little strange. He was old and young. If Inspiration was facing bankruptcy and he hesitated for a few years, it would be a waste of time.

"Deputy Director Li, I am very optimistic about Yirui's future. Likewise, the Hacker Group is willing to offer 12 million wholly-owned purchases, which is the best proof."

"Mr. Wang, but now we have no way to solve the problem of funds, and we urgently need a lot of funds to solve the current predicament."

"Yes, Mr. Wang, we are having some difficulty even paying wages."

In the face of Wang Yue's reply, several management members immediately refuted. Now Inspiration has serious problems, especially the need to solve the shortage of funds.

If even the salary cannot be paid normally, then these middle-aged people who have established a family and start a business will face many problems.

There are many difficulties in adopting children, supporting parents, and daily expenses.

Of course, they can't be indifferent when it comes to their own affairs.

"Relax, it's not that we will not raise financing. No, Hacker Group is ready to invest, and now we are preparing to negotiate, but we will not sell all of them."

Wang Yue explained with a smile that, as a student of Beijing University, he didn't want to work for others all the time.

After the sale of Inspiration, as the core management, he must stay.

In the next few years, he will have to work for others, which he is not happy to see.

"Well, let's wait for President Wang to negotiate with the hacker group to discuss the financing situation."

"Yes, I hope this financing will be smoother and I can get the right funds."

"Yes, the moment of life and death of Inspiration depends on whether it can successfully raise funds recently and get the funds to develop."

Seeing that Wang Yue has made up his mind, the executives can only accept this reality.

However, they are still looking forward to this negotiation with the hacker group and the financing meeting.

"Definitely, we will try our best to promote this financing meeting. I believe that with the investment of the hacker group, we will be able to embark on the road of development very quickly."

"I believe Mr. Wang can lead us out of the predicament and develop."

"Yes, the hacker group is willing to invest in our Yirui, then Yirui will develop steadily, and there is no need to worry about the problem of funds."

With Wang Yue's encouragement, everyone's demeanor improved a lot.

If you can get investment from hacker groups and they give up some equity, that's not a big deal.

Besides, the equity in their hands will definitely be more valuable.

"It will definitely be, then I will reply to the hacker group later, and let the financing negotiations officially start tomorrow."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Yue said with a smile.

The opinions were unified internally, and the next step was to have a harmonious negotiation with the hacker group.

...

That night, at seven o'clock, an international hotel in Kyoto.

Wenmeng communicated with Liang Chaozheng about how to win Yirui and satisfy his boss.

At present, the situation seems to be good, and it should be possible to acquire Inspire Technology.

"Ring Ling Ling..."

Wenmeng, who was in high spirits, heard the ringing of the phone and quickly took out the phone.

"Yo, say Cao Cao, the playground is here."

He raised his phone and joked.

"Is President Inspiration Wang's phone number? Maybe it's good news."

Seeing this, Liang Chao also smiled and asked Wenmeng.

"Yes, Mr. Inspiration Wang, it should be a good situation. We will answer our call at seven o'clock. I will answer the phone first."

Wenmeng seems to be more confident. Hacker Group is a big company, but it is a good thing for Intentional.

During the day, he clearly felt the joy of Inspiration Wang Yue, and he should be willing to accept the merger and acquisition of the hacker group.

"Mr. Wang, good evening."

"Mr. Wen, we have reached an agreement internally. Come to Yirui tomorrow morning to discuss specific matters."

"Mr. Wang, that's great. At nine o'clock tomorrow, we will definitely arrive at Inspire Technology."

"Okay, President Wen, then I'll disturb you."

Seeing that Wenmeng agreed, Wang Yue immediately replied with a smile, saying that Wenmeng and Liang Chao would come to Yirui.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, President Wen."

The two saw each other goodbye and hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Wenmeng looked at Liang Chao with a nervous expression, smiled and said, "It's done! Come to Yirui for negotiation at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Liang Chao probably guessed the result from the expression on Wenmeng's face, and the situation was good.

At this moment, after he was confirmed by Wenmeng, he was even more relieved.

...

The next day, Inspire Technology.

The staff re-cleaned and arranged things to look neater and more formal.

The executives changed their previous decadent appearance and became full of energy.

At this moment, they are gathered in the reception hall of Inspire, waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests.

"General Manager Wang, when will General Manager Wen from Haotian and General Manager Liang from Hacker Group arrive?"

Deputy Director Li also had a smile on his face at the moment. If Inspiration can get financing, that is a very good thing.

Because they have equity, they can also get some money.

"It should be soon. It's 8:50 now, and it's only ten minutes until 9:00."

"Okay, then we can just wait for their arrival."

"I hope today will be smooth and I can get the financing contract."

Everyone seemed very happy about the upcoming arrival of Liang Chao and Wenmeng.

"Isn't this coming?"

Wang Yue and the others were chatting, when Liang Chao and Wen Meng appeared suddenly, making them cheer.

"Mr. Wen, Mr. Liang, we are looking forward to you."

"Yes, President Wen, President Liang, there is a request in there."

Wang Yue and Vice President Yi Rui of course welcomed Liang Chao and Wen Meng, and seemed very polite.

Today, these two are the uncles of Yi Rui!

Rich man!

They must be well entertained, and whether they can get funds for development depends on these two masters.

"Mr. Wang, okay, let's go first, shall we?"

Liang Chao and Wenmeng both smiled and nodded, looking at their enthusiasm, it's a good phenomenon!

Wen Meng and Liang Chao looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces became a little fuller.

"Okay, the two of you, please."

Then, everyone came to the conference room.

"Mr. Wang, how is your company negotiating?"

Everyone sat down, Wen Meng asked Wang Yue with a smile.

Now that Inspiration intends to let the hacker group merge, things are much simpler.

Hacker Group paid to acquire all the shares of Inspire, while Wang Yue and other high-level executives continued to stay and were responsible for leading the company's affairs.

Intentional took the money and officially became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hacker Group.

simple and clear!

"Mr. Wen, after negotiation with Inspire, we believe that the market value is a bit low. Inspire is a leading QR code company in China. It has developed a QR code engine for receipts and assisted in the formulation of ISO standards."

Wang Yue hesitated for a while, and continued to strive for more to raise the market value.

If Inspiration is only valued at 12 million, it seems a bit less.

In this case, if he sells 40% of his equity, he will only get 4.8 million.

If the valuation is 15 million, it is 6 million, and an extra 1.2 million.

"Wang Yue, isn't your company's valuation so high? Fifteen million, that's double the valuation!"

"Mr. Wen, we, Yirui, have a strong R&D team and many related patents, which are worthy of this valuation."

Hearing Wang Yue's words, Wenmeng frowned and raised the price again!

So, he turned to look at Liang Chao, the principal: "Mr. Liang, what's your opinion?"

"Mr. Wang, 15 million? That's fine, but we need to complete the transaction as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Liang."

When Liang Chao's words fell, Wang Yue immediately became happy, the hacker group was so great.

Seeing that the total valuation was discussed, Wang Yue immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, President Liang, after our company's unanimous decision, Inspire is willing to sell 40% of the equity and retain the controlling stake."

Wen Meng's expression changed, and Liang Chao's expression changed even more.

In an instant, the two of them became angry and questioned Wang Yue loudly.

"What? 40% of the equity, isn't it all sold?!"

"Inspiration only sells 40% of the equity? Does it not even sell the holding?!"
