Chapter 242: Thoroughly Onboard!

Grand actually already met the standards for going public.

Under normal circumstances, Grand should already have gone public.

Besides, Moyuwangka actually now qualifies for financing.

This is actually an inevitable business outcome.

Mr. Qin thought for a moment and then said.

"Alright, I will consider it carefully." Lu Yu did not answer right away.

Actually, before this, Lu Yu really hadn't thought much about this matter.

Most importantly, he had never imagined that a lack of funds would trouble him.

At present, Lu Yu actually has many options; Mr. Qin only mentioned Grand and Moyuwangka, but Penguin could also be one of them.

The reason Mr. Qin overlooked Penguin is probably because he is very optimistic about its development.

As of now, Penguin's potential is exploding, growing in a geometric fashion.

If Penguin were used for financing and going public now, its valuation would certainly not be high.

Of course, this "not high" is in comparison to Penguin's potential.

Grand and Moyuwangka are different; their development prospects can actually be seen to have an end, at least as people of this era currently view them.

Who would have thought that in over a decade, a game's daily revenue would approach a hundred billion?

Actually, among the three industries, Moyuwangka still has the least development prospects.

Before Lu Yu transmigrated, internet cafés were already in decline, the market sluggish to an extreme.

So, if one really had to pick an industry for financing and going public, Lu Yu would most likely choose Moyuwangka.

But one thing that must be said is: does the money raised from financing or going public, when reinvested into the phone factory, mean that others can now participate?

This is actually what Lu Yu least wants to see, or rather, it is the main reason he has never considered this direction.

With others' investment, Lu Yu would have to be accountable to them.

That responsibility would force him to think about "making money".

Such behavior would go against his original intention.

Building a phone OS R&D center and opening a phone factory were never about making money, but about hoping Huaxia could catch up with the world sooner, even surpass it.

After parting with Mr. Qin, Lu Yu pondered for an afternoon, and finally his thoughts became clear.

So he made a decision: no financing, no going public!

At the very least, he will not now make such a decision just to cash out by building a factory.

As for the future, whether Penguin, Grand, and Moyuwangka will reach that point, Lu Yu has not set any limits for himself.

……

The next day, Lu Yu again found Mr. Qin and expressed his idea.

"So where will you get the money to support building the factory and the subsequent operating costs?" Mr. Qin looked at Lu Yu with a helpless expression.

Lu Yu smiled, said nothing, and just looked at Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin stared, then his face filled with surprise as he said, "No way! You're setting your sights on me?"

Don't forget, Mr. Qin was originally a successful entrepreneur.

He has abundant industries overseas.

Even domestically, he has a company that can be considered a first-rate game company.

Perhaps Mr. Qin isn't quite a billionaire, but his wealth is certainly astonishing.

"Well, the way I can think of to quickly obtain a sum of money is to borrow."

"Borrowing from a bank is certainly possible."

"But I have you right here; why go far when the near is available?"

Lu Yu said with a smile.

Mr. Qin fell silent.

To be honest, he was surprised at first, and now……

Mr. Qin's thoughts have become many.

First, a question: why does Lu Yu want to borrow money from him?

Mr. Qin, however, knows Lu Yu definitely has the ability to repay.

So this deal is actually risk-free.

But…… is it worth incurring a personal favor over this?

Mr. Qin looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled expression.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Ten percent of Moyuwangka's shares, ten percent of Grand's shares, and five percent of Penguin's shares."

"This is the interest I'm giving you."

Mr. Qin's eyes widened; is this condition not enough?

Of course not!

Rather, this condition is too Mandarin-rich!

First, Moyuwangka now has over forty branches, and many of those are shops or even buildings that Lu Yu directly purchased.

Not counting Moyuwangka's output value, just the value of those properties alone is already astonishing.

Next is Grand.

The several games Lu Yu developed are currently at the peak of popularity; the profits they could generate are simply maddening!

Finally is Penguin.

Even if Mr. Qin doesn't know what will happen in over a decade, just the strength Penguin shows now is already at a dominant level!

Don't even mention interest; even the principal, Mr. Qin feels it's more than enough.

"But there's still an additional condition."

"For the next twenty years, you need to be an invisible CEO overseeing these three companies."

"Also, during these twenty years, you will have no salary."

Lu Yu then spoke his idea.

This is the result of him thinking all day yesterday.

Lu Yu temporarily still doesn't want to open his industry to outsiders.

But if it's Mr. Qin, then it doesn't matter.

In fact, Mr. Qin is now bound together with Lu Yu.

But actually before, Lu Yu didn't give Mr. Qin any shares; he only offered a high salary.

Now Lu Yu happens to be short of money, and this method happens to also better bind Mr. Qin, so Lu Yu proposed it.

Mr. Qin naturally also understood Lu Yu's meaning.

In fact, his original plan was just to work under Lu Yu for two or three hours; he lacks no money, and there's no need to keep helping others work.

But now...

"Is it worth it?" Mr. Qin said after a long silence, speaking to Lu Yu thus.

Lu Yu lightly nodded, saying: "Worth it."

The two fell into silence again.

I don't know how much time passed, then Mr. Qin sighed and said: "Actually, I still don't understand why you are so obsessed with mobile phone development."

"But..."

"Your courage indeed conquered me."

"I'll follow!"

"Also, the money I take out can be considered as money I use to buy shares from you."

"At my age, I wouldn't let enthusiasm be mistaken for deceiving children!"

Lu Yu smiled, of course knowing Mr. Qin's last sentence was a joke.

He also didn't oppose Mr. Qin's decision.

Because Lu Yu clearly knows, the money Mr. Qin is investing now will increase tenfold or even a hundredfold in the future!

Penguin is like that, Grand is like that, even Moyuwangka will be like that!

After all, all this has already been proven by time!
