Chapter 73 Discussing Conditions
"Put your pants on first."
Zhou Xiaoli blushed and pushed Ye Kai out of the quilt, then threw the pants she had thrown on the bed at him.
When it comes to serious matters, it's natural to dress neatly to create the right atmosphere.
"Aren't you afraid I'll just disappear after I've done my job?"
Ye Kai grabbed his pants, jumped to the ground, and started putting them on his legs.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Ye Kai.
As Teacher Zhou's savior, Ye Kai has done nothing to wrong Zhou Xiaoli. Even if some accidents happened tonight, they were not caused by him.
However, Ye Kai, who had taken the first blood, couldn't just turn a blind eye and watch helplessly as a beautiful and aloof woman with a promising future lost herself and fell into a life of apathy and resentment as a wealthy woman.
For them, arranged marriages within families are a constraint, but not a decline in their quality of life.
But for those caged birds who yearn for life outside, such a life is no different from death.
"Now, the first thing I need to figure out is something."
"How reliable is your new energy vehicle battery project?"
After getting dressed, the two went to the hotel's coffee shop, each ordered a coffee to refresh themselves, and talked about the matter.
It was only a little past four in the morning. Although the hotel's coffee shop was open, the waitresses were forcing themselves to stay awake and make coffee for them. They obviously didn't expect that two lunatics would come to patronize their business at this hour.
"There shouldn't be any problems with the project itself."
"We have a reserve of technical patents and talent, and our research team is guided by industry experts. The laboratory is also constantly producing results."
"But it will take some time before we can achieve a truly groundbreaking breakthrough."
"Our current idea is to burn money first, then achieve certain technological breakthroughs, thereby attracting new investors, producing a mature first-generation prototype, going public to raise funds, and promoting it on a large scale."
"But after this incident, it was like cutting our angel investment in half, which was extremely devastating."
Although Zhou Xiaoli is a music teacher, she has a broad perspective and comes from an extraordinary family background, so she speaks about these things with ease.
Women like this are actually quite reliable, as long as they're not blinded by love.
Whether it's new energy or electric vehicle projects, they all basically started around 2010.
At that time, Nissan was the first in the world to launch a mass-produced pure electric vehicle, the Nissan Leaf. A number of mass-produced pure electric vehicles equipped with lithium batteries, such as the BMW i3 and Tesla Roadster, were also launched on the market. Nearly a hundred car companies began to shift to the research and development and production of electric vehicles, and market competition gradually intensified.
From a policy perspective, governments around the world have introduced incentive measures such as purchase subsidies, tax breaks, and free parking to support the development of new energy vehicles, encouraging consumers to buy electric vehicles and vigorously promoting the construction of charging infrastructure.
The emergence of the new energy electric vehicle market has its own inherent reasons, but advancements in battery technology are also a significant factor.
As lithium battery technology matures and develops, energy density gradually increases and costs continue to decrease, resulting in increased driving range, shorter charging time, and significantly improved performance and practicality for electric vehicles, better meeting consumers' daily travel needs.
Of course, one of the most crucial reasons is that the government subsidies are so substantial that many car companies whose technology is completely substandard have started to exploit this loophole to fraudulently obtain subsidies.
The fact that the scammer was able to fool so many people shows that he had done his homework.
He simply hadn't anticipated the immense future potential of electric vehicles. Focusing solely on the small amount of cash in front of him was a classic case of penny-wise and pound-foolish.
If he can keep doing this, this one deal could earn him more than he would in a lifetime of swindling.
Personality determines destiny; people can only earn money within their own limited understanding—that's roughly the idea behind such people.
"Teacher Zhou."
Please forgive my bluntness.
"From a business perspective, if I can resolve your issues this month and make up for the 200 million shortfall, what will I gain?"
After listening to Zhou Xiaoli's introduction, Ye Kai became even more interested in the project and asked his questions.
Helping to get the funds back wouldn't be too difficult for Ye Kai, who had been reborn, but he couldn't possibly work so hard without expecting anything in return; he naturally had to get the benefits.
After all, his surname isn't Lei.
That's right.
"The other party invested 50 million yuan of real money at the time, so our actual loss is 150 million yuan. However, if we want the project to proceed normally, we definitely cannot go below the target of 400 million yuan, otherwise the project will also fail."
"I have a 10% stake in this project, which is a privilege I have as a liaison."
"As for the remaining shares, 10% of the shares were reserved for the management team as dividends, the fraudsters hold 10% of the shares, and the other shareholders hold 70% of the shares."
"If you can really make up the 200 million, in addition to getting the 10% of shares from the swindler, I will give you half of my shares, which is 5%. In addition, I will persuade the other shareholders to convert their shares at 80% of their value, and the resulting shares will be given to you as compensation, which is 14% of the shares."
"Excluding the management team maintaining their shareholding, you will receive a total of 29% of the shares."
"It's not that I'm reluctant to give you the other 5% of the shares, but if we want to maintain this project, it's still necessary for me, as the liaison, to remain and to have sufficient say in the shares."
After drinking coffee, Teacher Zhou's mind was very clear, and she explained clearly in a few words what she could offer Ye Kai in return.
"Well, in that case, it can't be said that all our efforts were in vain."
"But Teacher Zhou, I have one more question: are you really that confident that I can help you solve your problem?"
After figuring out the other party's equity structure, Ye Kai suddenly stared into Zhou Xiaoli's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
As the daughter of a prominent family, would Teacher Zhou be so obedient to Ye Kai just because he saved her?
He's just a high school student. What right does he have to speak in a capital operation involving hundreds of millions of dollars?
"I investigated you before I came."
"Even from the perspective of us descendants of large families, your actions are truly amazing. It's hard to believe that a high school student from a small, third-tier city could possess such Midas touch."
"Originally, I just wanted to thank you for extending a helping hand when I was blinded by anger and about to commit suicide, and give you some money as a small token of my gratitude. But fate is cruel, and what happened later..."
"If that's the case, then it must be fate."
"I don't mind letting fate decide for me again, and seeing if you can pull me out of this abyss."
Zhou Xiaoli didn't hide anything; she told Ye Kai the truth.
"I'm so annoyed by you scions of aristocratic families."
"They are too rational and cold-blooded, yet possess a relatively flexible moral bottom line, and on the contrary, they are not lacking in connections, funds, and means. They are really difficult to deal with."
Ye Kai rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
He can use his advantage of being reborn to fight his way to Rome.
But Professor Zhou was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
