Chapter 378 - 183: 300 Million for 1% of the Shares, Earning 300 Million a Day?

Chapter 378: Chapter 183: 300 Million for 1% of the Shares, Earning 300 Million a Day?

From the very beginning, he would only have nominal ownership of these shares, with no power to participate in decision-making or voting.

All rights would be managed by Lu Mingzhe on his behalf.

Chen Mo could understand Lu Mingzhe’s reasoning, which was perfectly normal.

He was grateful enough that Lu Mingzhe was willing to give him an opportunity to make money; he had no intention of participating in the company’s decisions.

Furthermore, if he wanted to sell, he could only sell to Lu Mingzhe. That was also easy to understand—it was always better for a founder to hold as many shares as possible.

If he sold them to someone else, it would mean Lu Mingzhe’s stake would decrease while a third party’s would increase.

The resulting swing could be quite significant.

Oftentimes, the deciding factor came down to that small percentage.

As for the sale, Lu Mingzhe could transfer the money to him first, but the shares would remain in his possession.

Once the three-year period was up, the shares would automatically revert to Lu Mingzhe.

And since Lu Mingzhe had already said there was a way to make this arrangement compliant, he naturally didn’t need to worry.

"Let’s go with the plan you suggested, Brother Lu."

Chen Mo had no objection to this solution, nodding in agreement without a second thought.

’This means all I need to do is transfer the funds to Lu Mingzhe to buy the shares.’

’Then, I can just sit back and wait for Chaolu Technology to go public and make a killing.’

’Once I feel Chaolu Technology’s stock price has stabilized, I can choose to sell the shares back to Lu Mingzhe.’

’By then, my capital will be freed up, so I won’t be short on cash even if there are other stocks I want to buy.’

’It’s the perfect solution.’

"Alright."

Seeing that Chen Mo had no objections, Lu Mingzhe nodded as well.

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~"

After the two had been drinking tea for a while, Zhao Wan knocked on the study door.

"Are you two done talking? Come out and eat. Dinner’s ready."

Zhao Wan opened the door, calling them to dinner with a smile.

"We just finished. Let’s go, Chen Mo."

Lu Mingzhe put down his teacup, and the three of them left the study and returned to the large living room.

The table was already laden with a sumptuous feast. After Lu Mingzhe’s parents took their seats, Chen Mo and Xu Xiyue sat down next to each other.

"Here, Chen Mo. Let’s have a drink, you and I."

Lu Mingzhe poured Chen Mo a glass of red wine and raised it for a toast.

"Cheers."

Chen Mo clinked his glass against his.

’Besides, I came with Xu Xiyue today, so I can just have her drive later.’

"Xiyue, why don’t we have this?"

Zhao Wan poured a beverage for Xu Xiyue.

"Thank you, Sister Wan."

Xu Xiyue immediately held her glass with both hands to receive the drink.

After a sip of wine, the dinner officially began.

Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very congenial.

Later on, Lu Mingzhe’s parents and Xuanxuan finished their meal, and the grandparents took their grandson to watch TV.

The four of them were left at the table, where they continued to chat.

"Xiyue, we can introduce you to some of our outstanding, high-potential downstream suppliers."

"These companies may seem small right now, but as long as the quality of their components meets our requirements, they will remain in our supply chain."

"Their investment value is quite high."

Zhao Wan had chatted with Xu Xiyue a little before, and through their conversation during dinner, she could tell that Xu Xiyue was a highly professional investor.

Combined with Xu Xiyue’s relationship with Chen Mo, it was only natural to help her out.

"Thank you for your support, Sister Wan!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiyue’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhao Wan, her beautiful face filled with gratitude.

This was much more reliable than fishing for promising startups in a vast, boundless ocean.

As long as the small companies Zhao Wan was introducing didn’t do anything to self-destruct, they were bound to grow alongside Chaolu Technology.

One could say the success rate for such projects was over 80 percent.

And that was a conservative estimate.

’If I can invest in a few of them, at least one or two are bound to succeed, right?’

’In the past, she cared about how many times over an investment project could multiply its returns.’

’But now, just having an investment succeed was an extravagant hope.’

’No wonder Chen Mo was so confident he could make one of her investments a success within three months.’

’With such a powerful network, Chen Mo truly had the credentials to make that claim.’

"Chen Mo hasn’t even thanked me. What are you thanking me for?"

Zhao Wan couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a laugh as she teased Xu Xiyue.

’Chen Mo is the boss of Panshi Venture Capital, so why does it seem like Xu Xiyue is more eager for the project to succeed than he is?’

Xu Xiyue’s alluring lips parted slightly. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know what.

She couldn’t very well say that if a project didn’t succeed within three months of her joining Panshi Venture Capital, she would have to freefall, could she?

’She still had parents and children at home. It was bad luck to talk about such things.’

"Haha, well, in that case, I’ll thank you too, Sister Wan."

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. He raised his glass in a toast to Zhao Wan.

"That’s more like it."

Zhao Wan smiled, raising her beverage to him in acknowledgment.

They chatted for a while longer, and it began to get late.

The older folks and the child needed to rest, so Chen Mo and Xu Xiyue felt it was time not to impose any further.

"Brother Lu, Sister Wan, thank you for everything."

Chen Mo thanked Lu Mingzhe and his wife from the bottom of his heart.

"The help you’ve given us is far greater than what we’re giving you."

Lu Mingzhe patted Chen Mo’s shoulder and said in a serious tone.

"Chen Mo, don’t be so formal. You two should head back. We won’t get in the way of the second half of you young folks’ evening."

Zhao Wan said to the two of them with a meaningful smile.

"Alright then, we’ll get going. Bye."

Chen Mo and Xu Xiyue waved to them and headed to the underground garage.

"You drive."

Chen Mo got into the passenger seat and buckled his seatbelt.

"Okay."

After getting into the driver’s seat, Xu Xiyue adjusted it slightly, then started the car following Chen Mo’s instructions.
