Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Regent Hotel, in a private room.

It is the custom of Chinese people to discuss business at the dinner table. Lu Mingfei knew this. After all, at home, his uncle would occasionally complain about how hard it was to socialize.

But in fact, restaurants or banquets are also one of the main places for Americans to discuss business, but the style is different. Lu Mingfei was taken out by Tony to participate in several business negotiations, with the purpose of giving him a long experience.

So Lu Mingfei shouldn't feel strange or new to this kind of occasion.

But the atmosphere of this "business negotiation" is really a bit strange...

As the driver, Uncle Li was arranged to eat somewhere else. The dining table was not big, and there were only three people dining - Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang and Su Jiannan.

No matter how you look at it, this is more like a family dinner than a business dinner.

What Tony taught Lu Mingfei before was like a boat manual versus a Harley motorcycle - the manual didn't say anything about boats and wheels!

Apart from anything else, at the dinner table Su Jiannan seemed not to be Lu Mingfei's partner but his distant elder. He was so amiable and amiable. He kept serving Lu Mingfei dishes, almost only meat dishes, and even his own daughter beside him. Su Xiaoqiang was left out.

I just gave him a red envelope and said, "I don't know what kind of gift you like, so I'll give you some money to buy what you like."

During this period, Lu Mingfei also tried to steer his style in a more "normal" direction. For example, he suggested to Su Jiannan whether he should have some drinks. As a result, Su Jiannan waved his hands and said that Lu Mingfei was still a minor. How could he lead Lu Mingfei? What about non-drinking?

It’s good for everyone to have some drinks. Drinking will cause trouble and harm your body, so you might as well avoid it. If that’s not possible, you can just drink some low-alcohol wine such as red wine and champagne.

So much so that Lu Mingfei even had some doubts about whether his uncle was going to socialize or secretly having fun when he came home drunk.

If he followed his uncle, maybe he could take a photo of his uncle flirting with a pretty waitress in a bar?

It will be fun to send anonymously to your aunt then.

After calming down, Lu Mingfei returned his attention to the dinner table.

Before coming, Su Xiaoqiang specially visited him and told him that his father had always been known for being cunning in the shopping mall, and told him to be careful and not to be tricked.

Although her words were quite deceiving, Lu Mingfei must have shed tears of gratitude.

Just to be cautious, Lu Mingfei actually never thought about trying to get involved with Su Jiannan, or that he didn't really intend to fight for the "best interests".

First of all, he had only followed Tony to observe a few business negotiations. It would be a bit overconfident to think that he could compete with an experienced businessman.

Secondly, he doesn't value this skill very much. It's just used to earn some start-up capital so that he doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. If he wants to make a lot of money, he must go to Tony to learn something more profitable than metallurgy. technology.

Finally, and most importantly, Su Jiannan is Su Xiaoqiang's father after all. Su Xiaoqiang can be said to be quite loyal to him, but just for this "good brother", Lu Mingfei is also happy to give him a "friendship price".

It wasn't until the meal came to an end that Su Jiannan finally got to the point.

"Mingfei, I heard from Xiaoqiang that you have a metallurgical technology with relatively low cost and threshold," Su Jiannan said with a smile, "My company is currently planning to build a metallurgical production line. Are you interested in selling this technology? ?”

He didn't look like an old fox in the mall, but rather like an uncle who asked his fish seller's nephew if he could sell him two pounds of fish at a discount.

"This is the technology. Uncle Su can take it back and take a look at it first." Because he had applied for patent protection, Lu Mingfei generously handed over the USB flash drive with the technology installed.

The premise of patent protection is that the patent content has been made public, so even if Lu Mingfei doesn't give it, Su Jiannan can find the public technical information from official channels when he goes back.

To be precise, what Lu Mingfei wants to sell is not the technology, but the "patent authorization" of the technology, which is the qualification to legally use the technology.

Su Jiannan took the USB flash drive: "Mingfei, to be honest, in order to prepare for the production line, my company's available liquidity is actually very tight recently. If we use cash, we probably won't be able to get much..."

The price is pitiful and the price is low. I am familiar with this. Tony took me to see it. Lu Mingfei had no worries in his heart.

"So if you are willing, I can exchange shares for this technology," Su Jiannan said the second half of the sentence, "You can also understand it as technology shares."

Lu Mingfei:? ? ?

This time he really couldn't be tricked.

What is the logic? Because it is difficult to spend a large amount of money at once, so I exchange the dividend rights and control rights of the company's future income for this technology?

It's better to go to the bank for a loan and then buy it out. At least you don't have to give away the equity.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand. Could it be that Su Jiannan was going to give him a very low share?

"What do you think of fifteen percent?" Su Jiannan asked.

Lu Mingfei:...

Although Su Xiaoqiang's company is not a large international group, it is undoubtedly large-scale in several surrounding cities. For a company of this size, 15% of the shares is already quite a lot. , even... seems a bit too much?

Can this kind of technology that was built late at night be worth so much money?

You must know that he and Ethan saved Tony once each, and Tony, the generous and generous big spender, only gave them 6% of the shares - although the size of Stark Group is far from that of Su Xiaoqiang's company. Achievable.

His subsequent surge in shares was due to helping Tony capture Obadiah, and he and Tony equally shared the shares of the second shareholder of the Stark Group.

However, although he felt that it was a bit too much, Lu Mingfei had been trained by Tony after all, so he would not really blurt out "Is it too much?"

Instead, he pretended to ponder for a while, and then nodded: "I think Uncle Su's proposal is very good."

Su Xiaoqiang, who didn't know much about company operations, widened her eyes slightly - what did she see? His father randomly made a price, and Lu Mingfei stupidly accepted it?

This is obviously a sign of being ripped off for buying something!

Don’t you know how to talk about the conditions and raise the price?

Su Xiaoqiang kicked Lu Mingfei's calf hard under the table, signaling him to change his tune quickly.

Although she also hopes that her father's company will prosper, she shouldn't do it through this method of cheating her friends.

In fact, she would rather see Lu Mingfei fight her father for three hundred rounds at the table, and finally reach a condition that is satisfactory to both parties, so that her father does not lose and she does not cheat Lu Mingfei.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoqiang also complained a little about his father - if you want to cheat others, you should cheat outsiders instead!

With Lu Mingfei's physical condition, he would not be hurt by Su Xiaoqiang's kick, but he misunderstood Su Xiaoqiang's meaning and thought she was angry because he took advantage.

So Lu Mingfei, who felt he had taken advantage, cast an "apologetic" look.

Su Xiaoqiang simply hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.

In the end, under Su Xiaoqiang's angry eyes, Lu Mingfei and Su Jiannan ended today's negotiation in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, as harmoniously as if they were father and son.

Su Jiannan even specially gave Lu Mingfei a long-term room at the Regent Hotel, asking him to move out of the Express Hotel and find a better environment.

…

The next day, Su Jiannan's office.

A gentle man who looked forty or fifty years old, but actually looked older just because he was bald, walked in with a laptop: "Boss, are you looking for me?"

He is Su Jiannan's most trusted technical talent and is currently presiding over matters concerning the new metallurgical production line.

"Look, what does this technology look like?"

Su Jiannan handed him the USB flash drive. The man plugged in his laptop, lowered his head and began to look at it intently.

Su Jiannan waited quietly.

He actually felt that his offer was a little high, but he had basically confirmed that Lu Mingfei was the "Dragonborn" as his friends called him. In order to bring Lu Mingfei into the company, it was worth spending a little more.

After a long time, the man raised his head and said, "Boss, how much did this technology cost?"

"Fifteen percent of the shares," Su Jiannan asked, "How about it? Is it a loss or a profit?"

The man was silent for a while and asked again: "Boss, can I ask why he sold this technology to you?"

"Well... I think it's mainly because of my daughter," Su Jiannan said, "He and my daughter are friends."

"Is that person a boy or a girl?" the man asked again.

"Man, what's wrong?"

The man's face showed an expression of shock and emotion: "He really spends a lot of money to pick up girls!"

Su Jiannan's face darkened.

…

Regent Hotel, night, Lu Mingfei is in the room.

He closed all the curtains, sat on the sofa, held a fruit knife, stared at it for a long time, and hesitated for a long time.

Two days have passed since the previous negotiation between him and Su Jiannan, and the agreement has been signed. Lu Mingfei basically doesn't have to worry about money now, and naturally he doesn't need to perform on the streets anymore.

Moreover, now that his time traveling energy has recovered somewhat, he can go to Tony to discuss countermeasures.

With his current energy, he won't be able to stay for a few days after passing through, but it's just a matter of discussing countermeasures, and it doesn't take long in the first place.

Although Ange told Lu Mingfei that he had left shortly after the second meeting, and Senior Brother Chu also went back to school, Lu Mingfei was still a little worried.

Considering that Senior Brother Chu came to visit his home immediately after his disappearance, Lu Mingfei didn't believe it that Kassel College didn't pay attention to him.

He had been hesitating here for several hours. Finally, he took a deep breath, lifted up his shirt, and put the fruit knife against his chest. Goosebumps appeared on his skin at the cold and sharp touch.

He was beaten to pieces by Iron Overlord with a heavy machine gun before and didn't die directly. He shouldn't be able to die from such a stabbing, right? Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

A few months ago, he would not have believed that even if Lu Mingfei was killed, he would stab himself with a fruit knife.

He took a deep breath, exerted force on his arms suddenly, and stabbed the fruit knife deeply into his chest.

"Damn, that's not right," Lu Mingfei flopped on the sofa twice, "It seems like it was stabbed in the heart..."

Like a fish out of water, he flopped on the shore a few times and then stopped moving, his eyes gradually closing.

A few seconds later, those delicate eyes opened again, and the glow of molten gold seemed to fill the entire room.

Lu Mingfei stood up from the sofa, then pulled out the fruit knife from his chest, and wiped away the remaining blood with his index finger and thumb.

He closed his eyes again, and the invisible realm spread out from his body. Countless "scythes" and "snakes" invisible to the naked eye were released from his mental space, covering several kilometers around him in the blink of an eye.

After a long time, Lu Mingfei opened his eyes again and relaxed a little.

There should be no one around to watch him, unless the person watching him is outside his range of perception.

After checking the surrounding situation, Lu Mingfei's heart moved and he disappeared into the world.
