Chapter 35: Heavenly Pie

　　 For a company that has been established for less than three months, 300 million US dollars is a huge sum.
　　 Luke paced the room excitedly, like a child receiving a Christmas present for the first time.
　　 Robert sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, "Mr. Sidney is very satisfied with ShowMe's performance and hopes to sign the contract as soon as possible."
　　 "How long does he hope."
　　 "Two days!"
　　 Luke frowned and was very puzzled. "How can two days be enough? There are a lot of issues to be discussed in terms of equity separation and management, let alone other things."
　　 Robert said in a deep voice, "Boss, you may not know Mr. Sidney. He is a pure investor and will not interfere with the company's management and decision-making power."
　　 "There is such a good thing?"
　　 Luke doesn’t believe that there will be pie in the sky. The investors are big money and don’t intervene in business or management. As long as stock rights, such good things will only appear in movies.
　　 Robert explained with a smile,
　　 "Mr. Sidney is interested in a growing user base. ShowMe has nearly 6 million users. After a few months, the number may double. No one will ignore this. This is a long-term benefit."
　　 Luke still shook his head, "Nevertheless, the process is too casual, he doesn't worry that I will run away with the money, it is 300 million US dollars, it will not be spent in a lifetime!"
"Do you know?"
"of course not!"
"That's not it." Robert spread his hands. "Boss, I think you have considered too much. The purpose of the company is to raise funds. As long as the money is available and the management rights are not lost, everything else is not a problem. Of course..." With a second tone, continue,
　　 "If you think there is a problem, we also have Sequoia Group and the Wayne family. Sequoia Group requires more than 67% of the shares, and Mr. Alfred of the Wayne family requires 51%. Money can be negotiated."
　　 67% is absolute holding! 51% is relatively holding!
　　 The purpose of the two companies is not simple. Needless to say, Sequoia Group has made many acquisition plans, but they have been rejected by Luke. The big boss behind the scenes is definitely not happy. As for Wayne...
　　 Luke propped his chin and shook his head helplessly.
　　 "It turns out that we only have one choice from beginning to end!"
　　 Robert nodded slightly and did not answer.
　　 "When does Mr. Sidney hope to sign the contract?"
　　 "They have prepared relevant materials and legal documents and can start at any time."
　　 Luke nodded, "Since the other party is in a hurry to send money, we can't pretend to be reserved. In the afternoon, make an appointment and get things done."
　　 "I see, I will arrange it now!"
　　 Robert put away the papers, left the office, and went out the door. Somehow, he let out a long sigh, as if the big rock in his heart fell on the ground.
　　 Raised his hand and wiped his forehead, he found a layer of fine sweat.
　　 Robert shook his head inexplicably, and secretly said what's wrong with him, making him nervous.
　　 The financing was quickly learned by Cindy, and immediately put down work and came to Luke’s office.
　　 "Boss, are you really ready to cooperate with the central bank?"
　　 "They bid the highest and ask the lowest. If you don't choose them, who else can you choose?"
Cindy said with a serious expression, "I have investigated the information of the Central Bank. Its background is very complicated. According to the information, in recent years, the Central Bank has been involved in many international money laundering cases and chose them as partners. May drag ShowMe into the water."
　　 "Is there any evidence?"
　　 "No, but..."
　　 "Evidence must be told in everything, and you cannot take it seriously without evidence."
　　 Cindy would say more, but Luke raised his hand and said while organizing the documents,
"The matter has been settled and will not be changed. By the way, Rowan has been complaining to me that there is not enough manpower. You put things at hand, go to the marketing department to help, and negotiate in the afternoon. You don’t have to go, I, Will, Charlie and Robert are enough."
　　 "I think this is very inappropriate."
　　 Cindy is anxious, "ShowMe's current market value is 80 million U.S. dollars, but the other party bid 300 million for only 30% of the shares. The premium is more than twelve times. There is absolutely a problem."
"The investor is related to the future of the company. You can’t just leave it alone just because the other party has the highest bid. Even if you choose a central bank, you have to find out the background of the other party. How can you make a hasty decision? And Robert, I always think he has a ghost in his heart. There must be something hidden from us."
　　 This silly girl!
　　 Luke shook his head in his heart. At any rate, he is a business elite who graduated from Stanford University. He has no brains at all.
　　 "Okay, go back to work, you don't need to worry about this!"
　　 Cindy tried to persuade him to no avail, and slammed the door away in anger. He gritted his teeth secretly. After returning, he must use all the relationships to find out the background of the central bank and never let ShowMe be destroyed in its hands.
　　If Luke knew what she was thinking at this time, he would definitely sigh up to the sky: Why are the people I trust all clubs!
　　……
　　 After many negotiations with Robert, the two parties decided to arrange the negotiation venue at the Fox Hotel in the Metropolitan West.
　　 At two o'clock in the afternoon, the representatives of the ShowMe party: the boss and legal representative Luke Shaw, the lawyer Will, the assistant Charlie, and Robert Downs, who is in charge of the financing plan, arrived at the hotel on time.
　　 When they arrived, Domic Sidney, the general manager of the Central Bank, was already in the lobby.
　　 This is a white man who is about fifty years old. He is not tall and has a blessed stature. He wears gold-rimmed glasses and gives a very shrewd feeling.
　　As a junior, Luke was the first to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Sidney, nice to meet you."
　　 Sidney stayed on that too young face for a few seconds, a trace of contempt flashed in his heart, but his expression was very enthusiastic.
　　 "Mr. Xiao is really young and promising~EbookFREE.me~ At the age of seventeen, he has achieved achievements that no one else can do in his entire life. It's amazing, amazing!"
　　 Luke laughed and said, "Mr. Sidney has passed the award, it's just luck."
"this way please!"
"please!"
　　 The two walked out of the hall side by side and walked to the second floor conference room.
　　 Robert deliberately fell behind, and took advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet to get around to Room 203.
　　Alexander Rhodes was sitting on the sofa with a submachine gun in his hand and a big cigarette in his mouth.
　　 Robert lowered his head and came to him, whispered,
"Already prepared."
　　 Alexander waved his hand impatiently to signal that Robert could roll, but the latter did not dare to stay longer, and turned around when he reached the door.
　　 "Boss Rhodes, when negotiating later, you must be careful, not..."
"rest assured!"
　　 Alexander grinned and made no secret of the mockery on his face, "No one knows you are a traitor!"
　　 Robert smiled awkwardly and turned to leave.
　　 In the conference room on the second floor, a long table is in the middle. The ShowMe party sits on the east side of the table and the Central Bank sits on the west side.
　　 If there is not too much politeness, after the formal introduction, the two sides exchanged materials.
　　The contract provided by the Central Bank is a bit simple, unlike the handwriting of a large company, but fortunately there are as many treaties as there should be.
　　 The two major parts of operation and management are clearly marked. As an investor, Party A will not interfere with Party B's operation and management and personnel changes, but there are big differences in capital and equity.
　　 After reading the numbers above, Charlie and Will changed their faces at the same time. Robert resisted the dryness and spoke out.
　　 "Mr. Sidney, is it a mistake?"
