Huo Huanyu, who originally had only average feelings towards Zhang Taolie, looked at this guy now and suddenly no longer felt that he smelled like betel nut. Instead, he became more and more pleasing to the eye.
This guy is good and has a bright future. I am quite satisfied with such an idea.
However, Huo Huanyu, who was very happy, heard Li Jin's words immediately.
"Not interested, at least not yet."
Li Jin's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the head of Huo Huanyu, who was full of interest. Young Master Huo was immediately unhappy.
"I think this method is quite good."
"What's good?"
Li Jin glared at this fool.
"Xu Heng organized the Yanhuang Hui. Didn't you see how our front legs collapsed? We went to fix the back legs ourselves. Is that ridiculous?"
Huo Huanyu said nonchalantly: "Let's do it. Such a high-end club is indeed very beneficial. Xu Heng is just a defeated opponent in front of you. How dare he show his teeth?"
Shaking his head, Li Jin said: "This is not a question of showing one's teeth or not, but looking at the current situation, for such a club, the timing is not right, and secondly, I don't have the time or energy to work on it."
"That's it, let's talk about it later." Huo Huanyu rubbed his chin and said reluctantly.
Originally, Zhang Taolie was quite happy when he saw Huo Huanyu speaking on his own initiative.
But Li Jin was unexpectedly firm, and Huo Huanyu actually stopped insisting after asking a few questions.
What about your domineering temperament as the eldest son of the Huo family!?
How come you become a yes-man when you get in front of Li Jin!?
"Mr. Li, you said that now is not the right time. I disagree. In my opinion, since you plan to establish this foundation, this is the most suitable opportunity."
Zhang Taolie looked at Li Jin with burning eyes and said, "What better opportunity is there than to be surrounded by powerful enemies and for everyone to work together to fight against foreign enemies?"
"At this time, Mr. Li, you are the spokesperson recognized by several big families, and you are also the first to bear the brunt of this incident. As long as you stand up and shout, it will naturally be easy to gather a group of people around you."
"If you have concerns about funds, Mr. Li can rest assured that I can immediately use 500 million U.S. dollars as fund preparation expenses. This is to support fund establishment and has nothing to do with the previous 1 billion U.S. dollars investment."
Li Jin looked at the extremely enthusiastic Zhang Taolie and smiled meaningfully.
Ask yourself to come forward to build a club similar to the Yanhuang Club, and some people even give you money. It is 500 million US dollars at the beginning. If all the money is used to build this club, if nothing else, compare the Yanhuang Club to the roadside.
There will definitely be no problem for the small vendors.
But the crux of the question is, why is Zhang Taolie so enthusiastic?
This is $500 million, not $5.10.
Li Jin never believed that there would be a good thing in the world, let alone a pie worth 500 million US dollars?
In this world, except for your parents, everyone is the same. If you give something, you will get something.
If you take what others give you easily, then you won't be able to blame others if they take something from you.
Zhang Taolie seemed to have seen what Li Jin meant, smiled, and said proactively: "Mr. Li, of course I am not a money-spreading boy for no reason."
"My father and I can fully support Mr. Li in establishing this fund or club. The only request is that I can have no less than 25% of the shares and the second-in-command position."
Oh, it turned out that they were all waiting here.
Li Jin remembered what Huo Huanyu had said before, that Zhang Taolie and his son had sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze into the real upper class society, and he suddenly understood.
The $500 million in love is the ticket price they want to pay for admission.
Li Jin looked at Zhang Taolie with a smile and said: "Master Zhang, with all due respect, there is a question I really want to know the answer to. Of course, if it is inconvenient, Master Zhang does not have to answer."
Zhang Taolie vaguely knew what Li Jin wanted to ask, but he still said: "Mr. Li, feel free to ask. If I can answer it, I will not hide it. Even if I can't answer, I will not deceive Mr. Li."
Nodding, Li Jin said: "Basic Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. needs money and resources. It can be said that it is the only company in the Bay Area."
"Whether it is financial resources or status, there are almost very few companies that can compete with Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., so why is Mr. Zhang willing to pay such a high price?"
Zhang Taolie's brows twitched. Although he didn't want to answer the question, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Since Mr. Li asked, I will tell you honestly."
"Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was founded by my father, and the operating rights are indeed in my father's hands."
"However, due to the joint-stock system, its ownership is not in the hands of our Zhang family."
"For the sake of technology, we must transfer part of our equity to Philip."
"And in order to survive, we must also let Bay Province officials take away our shares."
Zhang Taolie's words were very reserved, but they revealed the embarrassing current situation of the Zhang family and his son. He sighed softly and said: "Some topics are more sensitive, so you can just stop talking. It's not suitable to say more. Mr. Li understands
People, do you understand what I mean?"
Seeing Zhang Taolie's bitterness, Li Jin nodded and said, "I can understand."
The Zhang family father and son are indeed the founders of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
But companies like Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are actually quite sensitive.
Therefore, after ceding a large portion of its equity for the sake of technology and survival, Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's position has become sensitive.
It is no longer a purely commercial company, and often must shoulder a part of the political mission.
But obviously, this is not what the Zhang family and his son want to see, at least they are not willing to just be what outsiders call the "interest spokesmen".
Therefore, they are eager to enter the upper class circles and even break out of the shackles caused by the current shareholding system of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Li Jin shook his head and did not think too much about this issue. He said directly: "I am very grateful to Mr. Zhang for his honesty, but I still say that this proposal is not the right time at the moment. I'm sorry that I can't explain it to Mr. Zhang in detail."
Seeing the disappointed look in Zhang Taolie's eyes, Li Jin reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "But I can make a promise. If I plan to continue this foundation for a long time in the future, I will consider the request that Mr. Zhang made before.
"
"Seriously!?" Zhang Taolie said in surprise.
Li Jin is not the only choice for the Zhang family, but he is the most suitable choice.
So if possible, Zhang Taolie himself is still willing to cooperate with Li Jin.
So when I heard that there was still room for improvement, I immediately became excited.
Nodding, Li Jin smiled and said: "Survive first, and then talk about other things. As mentioned before, how does Mr. Zhang consider investing in the foundation?"
"Done!" Zhang Taolie gritted his teeth and said.
He knew that this was the first and most important step to gain Li Jin's recognition.
