Rebirth 96: Peak of Power

"Mr. Li, is that bastard gone?"

The first thing Wu Tai said when he came up was directly to Li Zengyuan.

"Um, this...Mr. Wu, I don't know who you are? But..." Li Zengyuan wanted to say something.

Wu Tai said cheerfully: "Mr. Li, this time it's a familiar experience. It doesn't matter if you don't know me. I just have heard of you."

"Yes, yes, I don't know whether Mr. Wu will find me this time..."

"The reason I came to you is to ask if you have any financing needs. You told me before that you wanted three million U.S. dollars, right?" Wu Tai asked with a smile.

"Yes...yes, the initial cost of the project is relatively large. This three million US dollars is the minimum. If the investment is less, the project will still not proceed, so..."

Li Zengyuan is not lying when he says this, let alone two million US dollars.

It's that he doesn't want to spread the equity too much. It's easy to negotiate with one person, but not with a group of people.

Once the company talks too much and loses control of the company, it will only become a tool of capital in the future.

This is not Li Zengyuan’s goal when he returns to China to start a business.

It was so easy for me to make up my mind to start a business in my life, but in the end I was reduced to working for others. What’s the point of starting a business?

Now that there is such a person taking the initiative to raise funds for himself, he must do it in one step.

But he was afraid of scaring investors, so he was still hesitant when he said the amount.

"You mean, three million dollars can get your stuff out, right?" Wu Tai asked.

"No, no, no, that's not what I mean. I can only say that three million US dollars can keep our company alive, and there is hope to develop it. But it is certainly not absolute..." Li Zengyuan whispered.

"How many of you are there now?" Wu Tai asked.

"Currently, I am a company of about ten technical engineers, because the salary in this industry is relatively high, and our engineers are also very hard-working, working almost day and night. So..."

"Mr. Li, you don't need to explain so much to me. I don't understand either. I'm going to ask you a few questions now, and you just need to answer me truthfully..." Wu Tai said directly.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Wu, you can ask whatever you want. As long as I know, I will answer you truthfully."

"Very good, first question, how long will the development cycle of this project take?"

"Project cycle? It can be long or short. This is determined by various factors such as the number of people and equipment. According to our current project progress, it will take about one to two years. But there can't be any unexpected situations in the middle... …”

Li Zengyuan's so-called one to two years is actually the best state he feels.

If financing fails, let alone one to two years, it may not necessarily be three to five years.

"Is your situation based on your existing team?" Wu Tai asked with a frown, "Why do I feel that your cycle is a bit long?"

"There is no way, Mr. Wu. We don't have much money on hand, and everyone is already working hard this cycle." Li Zengyuan said helplessly.

"Well, I probably understand. Let me ask you, if there are no restrictions on the number of equipment and engineers, how long will it take for the product to be released?" Wu Tai asked directly.

"Actually, there is no need to have too many people. If we have really top engineers, I estimate there will be a team of about fifty people. If we update our equipment, our project should be ready for use in half a year at the latest... "

Li Zengyuan is quite confident about this, but if this is the case, the three million US dollars will not stop him!

The so-called updating of equipment is not just a simple matter of changing a computer, there are many things involved in it.

"What about the fee?" Wu Tai asked again.

"As for the cost, it will cost at least about six million US dollars." Li Zengyuan took a deep breath and said.

"You guy, why do you pick and dig at something?" Wu Tai said angrily.

"Um, Mr. Wu, what do you mean?" Li Zengyuan was confused for a moment.

To know!

The average investor is the type who keeps the price down indefinitely, and then gets the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

Because this is the original form of capital.

Even if they think highly of you, they will still do what they should do.

In fact, there are many projects that have failed because capital calculations are too strict.

After all, in this way, the fault tolerance rate of the project becomes almost negligible.

If an entrepreneur cannot make any mistakes, it will be impossible to build a high-tech enterprise like this.

But with limited money, they could only be cautious, but in the end, some people succeeded.

But there are more people who fail.

It's just that those people were eventually buried at the feet of successful people, so no one knew about them.

But Wu Tai is different. His investments are different from ordinary people.

Because so far, the projects that Zhou Pengcheng has focused on investing in have almost no losses.

This time!

Zhou Pengcheng specially found him and asked him to contact Li Zengyuan, and then make a large-scale investment in his company.

Does Wu Tai care about money?

Of course he doesn't care, so three to five million US dollars is not an investment in his opinion.

But Li Zengyuan, who had experienced the ups and downs of human relationships and the beatings of capital, chose the most cautious approach.

"What do I mean? What I mean is that I have already invested, and you are so fussy. One moment it is three million US dollars, and another moment it is six million US dollars. What? Are you looking down on me so much?" Wu Tai was annoyed. said.

"Mr. Wu, then...then...how much financing do you want to give us?" Li Zengyuan pursed his lips. This was the first time he had seen such an investment.

"How much money should I raise? Just go ahead and do it. I'll give you 10 million US dollars for the first batch of financing. If it's not enough, I will continue to raise more." Wu Tai said directly.

"How much... how much?"

Li Zengyuan thought he had heard wrongly, and he suddenly became excited.

On the side, Liu Bingyuan and his son were dumbfounded. How could this financing be so smooth?

Could it be that the guy on the other end of the phone is a fool?
