Chapter 2538: Chess Piece Dropped

"You, you are not kidding me, are you?"

Mark stared at Liu Fusheng eagerly, his face flushed with excitement.

"One billion U.S. dollars or one billion RMB? I mean, even one billion RMB is a huge investment."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "US dollars, Mr. Mark, don't get me wrong, this money is not given to you by me, and it has nothing to do with the Republic. It is a friend of mine who is very interested in your scientific research project and is willing to invest in you and help you realize your dream. I am just helping him and asking about your attitude."

Mark nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand what you mean. If such a large amount of funds is injected into my company, my research project will surely make rapid progress... My dream, no, not just my dream, but also the aviation dream of mankind, will move forward in great strides and achieve a leap forward!"

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "That's good. Let's get back to the point. Mr. Mark, how many shares are you willing to give for this fund?"

"Uh……"

Mark paused for a moment, and didn't speak immediately, thinking quickly in his mind.

Liu Fusheng looked at him with interest. From Mark's attitude, he could judge that today's negotiations would definitely have a good result.

According to his memories of his previous life, Mark's company has failed to launch several launch vehicles. In the near future, he will launch the famous Dragon spacecraft and succeed.

Then the company's market value and stock price will soar wildly, and the threshold for foreign investment will also increase wildly. At that time, let alone 1 billion, even 10 billion will not be able to get the ideal share quota.

The current situation is quite different. Mark feels very confused about his future. Continuous failures have made him doubt his life. He would regard any investment from anyone as a life-saving straw.

Sure enough, after a quick calculation, Mark gritted his teeth and said, "If your friend can really come up with 1 billion US dollars, and the source of funds is also OK, and it does not involve technical barriers and national interests, I am willing to sell 20% of the shares."

Twenty percent!

This ratio is very sincere and is slightly more than Liu Fusheng's expected target.

But Liu Fusheng still smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "I think 30% is more reasonable."

"30%?"

Mark's eyes widened instantly. If so many shares were really transferred, it would be equivalent to giving up control of the company.

Whether from the perspective of interests or Mark's dream, he would never allow this to happen.

Mark was silent for a while, then shook his head firmly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I can't accept this ratio anyway. This not only involves funds, but also the company's decision-making power and future."

Liu Fusheng said: "I understand your concerns, but I can't accept 20%, so Mr. Seven Mark, please give me the greatest sincerity."

"At a dinner a few days ago, many friends were interested in this fund. Some financial tycoons on Wall Street even promised to manage this fund on my behalf and give me returns beyond my imagination."

Marx Cableway: "I can only take out 23% of the shares at most, which is my limit. In addition, I also want you to sign an agreement not to interfere with the company's internal management and not to affect the company's development direction. In other words, after you take the shares, in addition to the right to share, all major decisions must be consistent with mine."

Liu Fusheng thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Mark is very sincere, I can also agree to your request on behalf of my friend. As for the fundraising and injection of funds, someone will contact you, and I will not show up for the follow-up matters."

Mark expressed his understanding, because the barriers built by the United States in science and technology are mainly to suppress the rise of the East. If Liu Fusheng comes forward, I am afraid that funds will not be able to flow into his own company, let alone the issue of equity transfer.

……

After the two men finished communicating, Liu Fusheng went straight to meet another young man.

This man is tall and thin, looks a little dull, and is dressed like a college student. His name is Zack.

When the two of them had dinner together, Zack felt very embarrassed because he was not even qualified to go to Robert's Manor. He was also very clear that the man in front of him had made a big splash at Robert's family dinner and slapped billionaire Kopp in the face in public.

Given Kup's character, he would definitely launch a series of revenge, but the fact that the other party is safe and sound is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Frankly speaking, there is a huge gap between the two people's identities, status, and reputation.

Liu Fusheng said, "Mr. Zach, don't be nervous. I am just very interested in the website you developed. There are similar websites in our country, and they also want to learn from you and learn your successful experience."

The Facebook developed by Zuck is very popular in the United States and even around the world. However, it is still a rising star and is far from reaching the heights it will reach in a few years.

While in the United States, Liu Fusheng wants to place some chess pieces and try his best to rewrite the situation between China and the United States.

After listening to Liu Fusheng's words, Zach calmed down and said, "Mr. Liu, you are too modest. As far as I know, your country has many excellent social networking sites, such as Fuyun Network, which has developed photolithography machines and nano-chip technology. Their social software and websites are excellent and very popular in your country..."

After a pause, Zack said a little embarrassedly: "In fact, some of Facebook's functions are also borrowed from Fuyun Network's dating software."

Liu Fusheng smiled, because the social software of Fuyun Network was designed by Liu Fusheng himself, and the planning plan he came up with was ahead of the times in general, and some of the functions were based on the Facebook model that Liu Fusheng remembered.

"Mr. Zach, you have a very thorough understanding of the information about similar competing products. In that case, I will get straight to the point and not keep you in suspense... I am very interested in the social software developed by your company. I have also discussed the next development prospects of social software with domestic Internet companies such as Fuyun Network."

"Due to technical barriers, the communication between netizens in the Republic and abroad is not particularly smooth. However, when the time is right, this barrier will definitely be opened. If Mr. Zach is interested, I hope that a domestic Internet company can join hands with you and become a hero who opens a door in the wall."

Zach's eyes lit up slightly. People of his age are always full of ambitions for the future, especially after achieving success in the secular sense.

If you have enough money, of course you should pursue your ideals.

In fact, Liu Fusheng was fooling him. When the national strength of the Republic had not yet become completely strong and Western ideology still dominated the mainstream, how could he open the door and attract chaotic information from the outside world to influence the people of the Republic?

His goal is not to perform a world-shocking feat with Zuck, but to indirectly compete for the Republic's voice in the United States by controlling Facebook and similar websites.

It is similar to the overseas version of TikTok many years later.
