"Keke, Professor Xiao Fei, you seem to have forgotten that we have signed a restrictive contract. Without our approval, you cannot go public." Elise smiled. Capital operations were a game of big fish eating small fish. These people had no way of fighting back before them.
Everyone present finally understood. No wonder these two financial groups had agreed so easily to the distribution of shares. They had been waiting for this.
If they could not go public, the two financial groups would deliberately pressure them and leak the news at the same time. No one would be able to withstand it, and OMG and Little Lucky Star would also take a hit.
Most importantly, even if they did not take the initiative and cut off the funds, they would drag it out. OMG and Little Lucky Star's funds were a drop in the bucket for the later stages of research and development.
As for the two financial groups, they could afford to toss and turn.
Those who came did not come with good intentions, and those who had good intentions would not come!
Xiao Fei and the rest finally understood what was going on.
"Consider our conditions carefully. Five billion is not a small sum to you!"
Xiao Fei was silent for a while. "The major shareholder is not here. I cannot make the decision alone."
"Keke, I'll give you a week."
Elise and Heaton were in no hurry. The longer they dragged on, the more pressure the other party would feel. All the necessary preparations had been made, and they would understand what it meant to hit a wall at every turn.
A research and development project like this not only required huge amounts of funds, but also channels and influence in all aspects. As long as they could not go public to raise funds, this project could only wait for death.
Major shareholder?
It was useless no matter who it was. To put it bluntly, this was just a small project. Whether it would succeed or not was still unknown.
Heaton and Elise were chatting and laughing. To them, this was a holiday, a chance to enjoy the atmosphere of Earth.
Faced with Heaton and Elise's aggressiveness, Xiao Fei and the rest could only delay and look for other ways.
Heaton and Elise had already turned from guests to hosts. They talked and laughed wherever they went, but Xiao Fei and the rest really could not smile anymore.
This matter was rather serious. In the conference room, Ye Bingwen, Old Yan, and Xiao Fei were discussing solutions. In terms of business, Old Ye and Old Yan had more ideas.
To OMG and Little Lucky Star, it didn't matter. Bringing in funds for their own research and development, while they might be able to reap huge returns, the risk was equally high. After all, from theory to application, especially for civilian use, was extremely difficult. Moreover, they had to offend the two major financial groups. If they let go, they could sell their shares and reap huge returns. Little Lucky Star didn't expand in this area, but to OMG, this portion of funds was extremely important for the Wind God's later research and development and promotion.
Xiao Fei looked at Ye Bingwen. Old Yan did not have any clear ideas. In terms of the overall situation, Ye Bingwen was the best.
"Xiao Fei, what are your plans?" Ye Bingwen still wanted to know Xiao Fei's inclination.
"I'm not selling. That's fundamental. Mr. Ye, is there any other way?"
Xiao Fei was resolute. Let's not talk about whether the research results would be stolen by others. Once this technology fell into the hands of these people, there was no longer much use for civilian use. Selling it to the military, or even using it for greater benefits, was something Xiao Fei absolutely did not want to see.
This research was to improve the safety and convenience of interstellar travel. This was also the direction of her future research and development.
Ye Bingwen nodded. "I understand. From the looks of the current situation, it's very difficult. But we have to put in some effort and stall for time. They were just bluffing just now. If they really wanted to deal with us, they wouldn't have said so much to us. Old Yan should be very experienced in the business world."
"Haha, they're not bluffing. They probably want to threaten and bribe us. Old Ye, think of something. My little brat said that everything should be based on Teacher Xiao Fei's opinion." Old Yan laughed. Faced with such a matter, he was very calm. Frankly speaking, the previous Little Lucky Star wouldn't have been able to get involved in a fight of this level even in eight lifetimes.
"Alright, we're of the same mind. I'll do the rest. Guarding the gold mountain, there's no need to worry about miners."
Outside, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu were not worried about such matters. Yan Xiaosu was not stingy with his praises for the Wind God. Ye Zisu was a little embarrassed.
"Second Brother, it's not that exaggerated. This model of mech actually still has many shortcomings. It needs to be further improved. What was shown in CT was a relatively mature ability. In practical use, due to environmental errors and operational wear and tear, there will still be certain changes."
Ye Zisu said.
"Haha, you're too humble. Oh right, I've also used it. Why can't I stack up that temporary energy shield? It seems like many people are also asking this question." Yan Xiaosu asked curiously. He was also a mech fanatic. He would definitely support Ye Zisu's design fully.
"That … it's not in the design." Ye Zisu waved her hand helplessly. She smiled bitterly. Obviously, there was no need to hide anything from Yan Xiaosu.
Yan Xiaosu's jaw dropped. This … was Boss trying to defy the heavens???
Wang Zheng was indeed defying the heavens. Lie Xin was standing in front of Wang Zheng and wanted to have a private chat!
The two beauties of this training were Lie Xin and Meng Tian. Obviously, Lie Xin's halo was brighter. She was the successor of the Lie family and was sexy and generous. Meng Tian was relatively more reserved and was cold to everyone.
"Wang Zheng, I've wanted to talk to you for a long time." Lie Xin looked at Wang Zheng. After being tricked by Lear, Lie Xin calmed down.
In the eyes of others, Lie Xin's leadership was not good. But in reality, they were all fooled by Fatty's wretchedness. It looked like this fatty was a fence-sitter. But who was Lear? If he was a fence-sitter, why would Lear want him? Overconfidence would lead to misjudgment. She had not taken Lear seriously during this period of time. That was why she had taken Fatty in.
She had to teach this fatty a good lesson. She just had to wait for the right opportunity.
Now, she had to turn the situation around. She did not know what Achilles was thinking, but she definitely would not allow failure.
The key to victory this time was Earth. Whoever took a spot from Earth would be unbeatable when they returned to Mars.
Of course, although there was no chance for the leadership battle now, it did not mean that there was no way to improve her leadership skills.
"Wang Zheng, the few of you can't beat Lear. This guy is not only sinister, but his strength is also comparable to Achilles and I. If we want to beat him, we have to work together. You and Zhang Runan will join my team. We'll go to Aslan together. This lineup will definitely be competitive!"
Lie Xin said. In the past, she really did not want Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan. Meng Tian … for various reasons, she did not like her. After all, she was Meng Ao's daughter, and she had a cold personality. The two of them had conflicting abilities. Zhang Shan … was completely useless. That little bit of spatial discrimination was useless.
Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head. "We're doing pretty well now. If we don't try, who knows what the result will be."
"Oh, you're quite confident, huh?" Lie Xin said lightly. "Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, I'll only give you one chance. Think about it. If you want to go to Aslan, only I can bring you there!"
In essence, Lie Xin was superior to everyone. Even if she approved of someone, she would use this kind of "I think highly of you, it's your honor."
Wang Zheng still had a smile on his face. "If there's a chance to fight together, it should be a good experience."
Looking at Wang Zheng's departing back, Lie Xin snorted coldly. This kid was really arrogant. He really thought so highly of himself just because he picked up a loophole. He was still far from being able to compete with Lear. When he was hurt, he would come and beg her.
With her help, Wang Zheng would be able to defeat Lear and obtain a direct spot. Of course, the other spot would naturally be allocated by her.
This was something that would benefit both parties.
Just based on you … where did your confidence come from?
Lie Xin turned around confidently. To her, a small loss did not affect the overall situation. Lear … was an Earthling!
"Wang Zheng, why is Lie Xin looking for you? Could it be that she has taken a fancy to you?" Zhang Shan asked. A private chat during meal time. This was a situation.
"Hehe, nothing much. She just wants to rope us in," Wang Zheng said as he ate.
"Oh, what do you say?"
Meng Tian and Zhang Runan also looked at Wang Zheng, especially Meng Tian. Although she and Lie Xin were not incompatible, they did not really like each other.
Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly. "Sigh, I wasn't born to be a slave. Forget it. This missy's queenly aura is too strong. I can't take it."
"Oh, I understand. She just saw our opportunity this time and wants to make use of us. What a beautiful idea. If she wants to join us, then join us. We'll leave the miscellaneous tasks to her." Zhang Shan laughed.
This magnificent turnaround had allowed Zhang Shan's ambitions to grow like mushrooms after the rain.
This was a chance that God had given them!
Lear's side was not alone. Other than Luo Fei, Lear had chosen three people from the rest of the people.
Edison, Aloman, and Stocker.
Edison's specialty was in the field of electronic technology. He was only good at Skylink and hacking firewalls for fun. His performance in other areas was average.
Aloman was from Titan. He was a muscular man and very conceited. In private, he was very confident that he could defeat Raston.
Stocker had an Ability X that allowed him to breathe underwater. His performance in other areas was average.
This disappointed some of those who had hoped to join. Lear's vision was really unique!
Luo Fei was really heartless. His actions had been viciously remembered by the Martians. If not for the rules, they would have beaten him up long ago. But Luo Fei still ate and drank, and even dared to greet the Martians. His mental fortitude was really out of this world.
Or rather, his skin was thick enough to run a spaceship.
With Qiu Si's appearance, the afternoon training began.
"You've all been training on Earth for some time now. I'll show you something new in the afternoon. This is also the first event for the team leader selection."
As soon as Qiu Si finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up. After a day of torment, it was finally time for real.
Wang Zheng, or Lear?
Of course, other than them, Achilles and the rest were no fools. Although they had lost the qualifications, they could still show off their abilities.
In the end, the IG selection would still be decided by the strong. It was useless if one could not display the same level of strength. A little trick would be enough.
