Chapter 335: Buying the Whole Lot

Zhang Yufeng also knew clearly that letting Dongling High-Tech subscribe to Founder's issued shares now was taking the risk of loss to help Founder. Founder definitely had to pay a price.

"Li Zong, Founder hopes to be able to get Dongling High-Tech's support. If Dongling High-Tech can make a move this time, Founder will definitely keep it in mind and dare not forget!" Zhang Yufeng raised his glass and said to Li Dongling.

Li Dongling looked at Zhang Yufeng, who was full of Jianghu spirit at the moment, raised his glass, and clinked it with him, but he didn't agree directly just because of his chest-thumping guarantee.

Don't look at Zhang Yufeng's posture of representing Founder with full authority at the moment; the one who could truly decide Founder's fate was still Yan University. Wasn't Zhang Yufeng also arrogant within Founder Group in his previous life? In the end, wasn't he kicked away by Yan University with one kick?

Before his eyes, the seemingly elegant Song Zhiliang and the Yan University School Committee never lacked courage. When it was time to take action, they never went soft.

"As domestic tech companies, Dongling High-Tech and I personally are certainly very optimistic about Founder. I believe that in the future, Founder's stock price will definitely not stop at 1.98 Hong Kong dollars. Perhaps in the future, Founder's stock price could exceed ten, twenty, or fifty dollars, who knows!"

Li Dongling said with a smile, but Song Zhiliang and Zhang Yufeng in the room now were all human spirits. How could they not know that there must be a follow-up?

Sure enough, Song Zhiliang and the other heard Li Dongling continue, "But, without rules, there is no square. Dongling High-Tech wants to help Founder, but it must also follow Jianghu rules. We can't let Dongling High-Tech's good intentions go down the drain in the end..."

"Li Zong, if you have any requirements, just say them!" Song Zhiliang spoke directly. He knew that it was time for him to speak.

"Requirements can't be talked about, just some 'small' suggestions. In fact, I've already talked about them with Manager Song and Zhang Zong today, but words are not proof. I hope to put pen to paper!"

"Dongling High-Tech hopes that Yan University can join the Hanxi Joint Laboratory under Dongling High-Tech, just like Hanxi Jiaoda, Xigongda, and Hagongda, and cooperate with Dongling High-Tech!"

"This is the first. Of course, if Yan University joins the joint laboratory, it can also get the same treatment as Hanxi Jiaoda. As long as it helps Dongling High-Tech with R&D projects and products, the joint laboratory will estimate the corresponding funding every year based on Yan University's patents, products, and other achievements in the joint laboratory and donate it to Yan University."

"Second, Zhang Zong just said that Founder wants to develop its own computers and hopes to cooperate with Dongling High-Tech. I hope this can be written into the agreement. If companies like Dongxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Storage can develop component products at the same level as international brands, Founder Group's computers and other products should prioritize purchasing from Dongxin Semiconductor!"

"If Yan University and Founder Group can agree to these two points, then Dongling High-Tech is willing to subscribe to Founder's issued shares!"

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Zhang Yufeng showed joy on his face. In Zhang Yufeng's view, Li Dongling's conditions simply didn't count for anything.

Although Li Dongling required Founder computers to purchase Dongxin Semiconductor's components in the future, Li Dongling didn't force it, but rather let Founder purchase them under the condition that the technology was not lagging behind compared to peers. This wasn't a bully clause, and Founder could certainly accept it.

Zhang Yufeng wanted to agree directly, but turned to see Song Zhiliang, who was lost in thought, and swallowed the words that reached his lips.

"Regarding Dongling High-Tech's conditions, I think Yan University can accept them. But this matter still needs the consent of the Yan University School Committee before it can truly be written into the contract!"

Zhang Yufeng showed a smile on his face. "Yan University cooperating with Dongling High-Tech is a match made in heaven. I can't think of any reason to refuse. Li Zong, come, let's drink this cup. From now on, we are all our own people!"

"I don't know how much of Founder's issued shares Li Zong is willing to let Dongling High-Tech subscribe to?"

After a cup of wine went down, Zhang Yufeng asked Li Dongling impatiently. This was what he was most concerned about.

"The more the better. I said I'm optimistic about Founder Group's future. However many issued shares Founder wants Dongling High-Tech to subscribe to, Dongling High-Tech Hong Kong Company can mobilize funds to eat up that many Founder shares!"

Hearing this, Song Zhiliang's face also showed a strange color. Founder's issued shares were over 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Other investment companies weren't willing to subscribe because they didn't have that much foreign currency in their hands.

But thinking of Dongling High-Tech's products selling hot overseas—a while ago, Shenzhou Storage and Silver Mink mice were once out of stock in America and Europe—Song Zhiliang also understood in his heart. Dongling High-Tech might not be able to take out 300 million US dollars in cash, but 300 million Hong Kong dollars probably really wasn't much of a burden for Dongling High-Tech.

"How about Dongling High-Tech subscribing to an 11% share of Founder's issued shares?"

Zhang Yufeng thought for a moment, then whispered a few words with Song Zhiliang before saying to Li Dongling.

This 11% equity had its own logic. Now the management led by Song Zhiliang held 12% of Founder's equity. If Dongling High-Tech took too much equity, wouldn't it be riding on top of Founder's management?

Yan University was Founder's absolute major shareholder, so there was no need to worry about the risk of losing power. But if Dongling High-Tech got too much equity, it would inevitably threaten Founder's management, or rather, point fingers at Zhang Yufeng.

Li Dongling looked at Zhang Yufeng calmly after hearing this, knowing what he was afraid of. Li Dongling smiled and said, "Dongling High-Tech can guarantee that it will not interfere with Founder Group's management and decision-making. In addition, the voting rights for this 11% equity can be handed over to Yan University Asset Management Company for proxy voting!"

"In addition, after Founder goes public, Dongling High-Tech's investment department can continue to acquire some of Founder's shares to stabilize Founder's stock price."

"I can't think of any reason for Founder to refuse!"

Song Zhiliang's eyes lit up and he said. Such conditions were already quite outstanding, and the Yan University School Committee would certainly not refuse.

"Li Zong, let's have a drink. To Founder, to Dongling High-Tech!"

Li Dongling raised his glass and clinked it with Zhang Yufeng and Song Zhiliang, took a light sip. Li Dongling had drunk quite a bit tonight.

Investing in Founder—losing money was certainly impossible. It would even make Founder hang the banner of the Dongling High-Tech system.

Founder had quite a few good things. The Founder of his previous life played tricks, suddenly selling off the computer business, making Founder completely lose its roots in the tech industry.

In this life, if Founder didn't sell the brand, then it wouldn't be impossible for Dongling High-Tech to take it over. Founder's brand, technical personnel, patents, etc., after taking over, as long as the costs were reduced, it would basically be a steady profit without loss.

Li Dongling refused Zhang Yufeng's suggestion to change places and continue to have fun. Yanjing at this time already had the style of a city that never sleeps, and there were quite a few entertainment activities. Zhang Yufeng even gave Li Dongling a look that every man understood, but it was rejected by Li Dongling.

Dongling High-Tech's influence in Yanjing was still a bit insufficient. This wasn't Hanxi, and not everyone was willing to stand on the same front as Dongling High-Tech. There were definitely no shortage of people coveting Dongling High-Tech.

It was hard to guarantee that no one would use underhanded methods. Dong Ge, who was currently selling pirated discs in Zhongguancun, was a warning from the past. Toads don't bite, but they are annoying. Li Dongling didn't want to capsize in the gutter.

When leaving, Li Dongling said to Song Zhiliang, "Manager Song, when you have time, I want to visit Academician Wang. I would like to ask Manager Song to help introduce me!"

Song Zhiliang subconsciously looked at Zhang Yufeng when he heard this. The latter's face, which had been flushed from the alcohol, changed slightly, looking at Li Dongling with a bit of shock and suspicion.

"Dongling High-Tech has long heard of Academician Wang's great name and wants to invite Academician Wang to serve as an honorary consultant for Dongling High-Tech!" Li Dongling said a set of rhetoric.

Hearing this, the suspicion on Zhang Yufeng's face immediately dissipated a bit. In this day and age, many companies invited celebrities or academicians to serve as company consultants to increase popularity and show the outside world an attitude of recruiting famous scholars with a thirst for talent. It was also common to increase a bit of fame during publicity, so it wasn't rare.

"That's easy to say. I'll tell Academician Wang tomorrow, and you can just come over!" Song Zhiliang said.

Out of the hotel, watching Li Dong's car drive away, the drunkenness on Zhang Yufeng's face also dissipated. Leaning against the pillar at the hotel entrance, Zhang Yufeng lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said to Song Zhiliang, "It seems this Li Zong values Academician Wang very much!"

"Stop thinking about those things!"

Song Zhiliang frowned and said, "Dongling High-Tech's move this time should be able to solve Founder's problem of issuing shares!"

"Just now, Li Dongling has already expressed his attitude that he will not interfere with Founder's internal affairs. In the future at Founder, you and Old Wang should tolerate each other a bit more. You are both heroes of Founder. I don't hope that one day, we will handle your and Old Wang's affairs like we handled Lou Binlong's!"

"My Manager Song, don't you know me? I have always respected Old Wang. As long as Old Wang stays on his one-third of an acre in his technical department, we will be at peace!" Zhang Yufeng laughed indifferently.

Looking at Zhang Yufeng's attitude, Song Zhiliang shook his head. He only hoped that Zhang Yufeng and Academician Wang could be at peace and cooperate wholeheartedly at Founder. But thinking of Zhang Yufeng's personality, and then thinking of Academician Wang's attitude of never giving an inch, Song Zhiliang only felt a headache.

The car drove on the streets of Yanjing. Many sections were being repaired, with oil roads being repaired on top and subways being repaired below. Buildings and residences were being built on both sides of the street, and it was brightly lit late at night.

And on the side of the road, there were quite a few stalls selling clothes, discs, etc., which were quite noisy and full of fireworks, completely different from later generations.

The next day, at Yanjing Xiangjiang Villa Garden, the sales representative Yang Jun, in a suit and leather shoes, had been waiting at the entrance early.

Seeing a motorcade drive over, Yang Jun hurriedly greeted them with a full face of smiles. When the car door opened and he saw Li Dongling get off, Yang Jun was slightly surprised at first, then filtered the Yanjing celebrities he had memorized through his mind, but didn't retrieve anything.

But looking at Li Dongling's vaguely familiar face, Yang Jun suddenly remembered where he had seen this face. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Li Zong, welcome!"
