Chapter 146 Final Sound

When Hua and Liu changed their stance and reconsidered the same issue, they found that switching to supporting Dai Songquan wasn't so bad, and might even have made things better.

After the meeting, although they did not exchange ideas, their thinking was largely the same, and they came to the same conclusion.

Mr. Hua received the call from Dai Songquan on his way back.

Seeing the caller ID, he already had a feeling. After testing Dai Songquan's tone slightly, he agreed to the invitation for the evening.

When it comes to surrendering, the sooner the better. The fact that Dai Songquan made this call means he's already at the forefront of the process. If he hesitates or acts coy at this point, then he's truly out of his mind.

When President Liu received Ji Yongsheng's call, he had similar thoughts. However, after accepting Ji Yongsheng's invitation, he asked one more question: "Surely I won't be the only one here?"

Ji Yongsheng then told him that General Manager Hua was also involved. General Manager Liu wasn't surprised. So that evening, the four of them sat down together and finalized the cooperation agreement.

Going forward, the two will always maintain consistency with Dai Songquan on decision-making issues at shareholders' meetings; and as the two who were the first to defect, Dai Songquan will fully guarantee their rights and interests.

The most important clause is that if the company raises capital or issues options in the future, and the two individuals do not participate in the subscription, they will still enjoy the dividend rights at a ratio of 3%. At the same time, Dai Songquan will guarantee that their actual shareholding ratio will not be diluted to below 1%.

The terms were incredibly generous, even better than they had anticipated, so they had no reason to disagree. If they didn't sign, they wouldn't get another chance to get such a good deal once someone else did.

After sitting down at the dinner table and having drunk three cups of wine, President Hua thought of Wei Hongsi and asked Dai Songquan where he had found such a young man to be his vanguard.

During the break, Wei Hongsi came over to greet him and ask for his advice. At first, President Hua did not understand the other party's intention, but as the meeting progressed, he realized what it meant.

President Liu was also very interested in Wei Hongsi and asked Dai Songquan if he had used the young people to test their attitude before deciding to overturn the table.

Dai Songquan smiled but did not answer, only saying that since you are interested in him, why not invite him over to get to know him better?

……

……

When Wei Hongsi poured wine into the four men's wine jugs for the third time, he only filled them halfway, which was a hint from Ji Yongsheng.

By this time, the four of them had already drunk six or seven ounces, and their pace had slowed down considerably, so they had long since switched back to smaller cups.

President Liu pulled Wei Hongsi aside, insisting on having a "drink" with him, then patted him on the shoulder: "Hongsi, do you know why I insisted on seeing you?"

Wei Hongsi smiled and said, "Please give me your guidance, Mr. Liu."

"I, Liu Chengyi, am past fifty. The only thing I can be proud of in my life is founding Zhiwei with Lao Dai. I don't think I'll be able to accomplish anything else in the rest of my life."

As he spoke, General Manager Liu looked across at the other side and said, "Grand Tutor Hua, you're about the same, aren't you?"

President Hua leaned back in his chair and smiled: "Same as you."

President Liu then looked at Wei Hongsi: "So, we've entrusted the rest of our lives to Zhiwei, so we need to know what her future holds, right?"

Hua nodded and said, "Yes, we are Zhiwei's past, Ji and his group are Zhiwei's present, and you young people represent Zhiwei's future."

"Tell us the truth, how confident are you that the project you reported on today will succeed? Is it just a smokescreen from Boss Dai?"

After a moment's thought, Wei Hongsi said, "That project will definitely succeed."

"Goodness!" General Manager Liu said with a smile, "We tech people still need to be down-to-earth and not just boast!"

Wei Hongsi said with a smile, "Then please wait and see, President Liu and President Hua. I believe it won't be long."

President Liu looked at Dai Songquan: "He really wasn't bragging?"

Dai Songquan smiled and said, "You should know my old classmate Zhou Qihong, right? Hongsi is his student."

"Oh." President Liu looked at Wei Hongsi again and said with a smile, "Young people are very low-key."

President Hua nodded thoughtfully.

They asked whether the project could succeed, not about the research results. Although the research was quite challenging, they believed it could be accomplished with sufficient investment.

Their focus is on the implementation of the project's outcomes. Simply put, it's about whether the government recognizes its necessity and is willing to fund or support these outcomes.

When Dai Songquan introduced Wei Hongsi's mentorship to them, it wasn't to imply that a great teacher produces outstanding students, but rather to tell them that this project was not something to be launched blindly.

As a leading figure in the industry, Zhou Qihong has a unique vision in terms of industry foresight. If his disciple is going to do a research project that costs hundreds of millions of yuan, he can't just do something haphazardly out of touch with reality.

Although the actual situation is not like that. The research for this project was actually a result of being forced by the "June 13" case, but that does not prevent them from trying to understand it in that direction.

Dai Songquan knew his two old friends well. They were very decisive when making decisions, but after things settled down, they couldn't help but feel sentimental. This was probably one of the drawbacks of reading too much.

Of course, he could ignore all of that. But after all these years of ups and downs, it was indeed not easy for them to put aside their past grievances and sit together again, so he didn't mind helping them to understand each other's thoughts.

After all, it's always better to be able to work together smoothly than to be forced into a group out of a mess.

"You guys always like to get caught up in meaningless things," Dai Songquan said, raising his glass. "Come on, finish this glass, and I'll ask you two questions."

The group clinked glasses together.

Dai Songquan asked, "My first question is, if Zhiwei goes public, what will you do with your shares? Will you continue to hold them, or will you sell them to realize your profits?"

"The second question is whether you think Zhiwei's net worth can double within five years, and whether this can meet your expectations."

Hua and Liu were silent for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

Mr. Liu said, "Does Boss Dai mean we're being hypocritical after getting a good deal?"

Dai Songquan laughed and said, "I didn't say that."

Mr. Hua laughed and said, "I'll take that as you saying it; I admit it anyway."

As they chatted and laughed, Mr. Liu's phone, which was on the table, rang. He glanced at the number, picked it up, and showed it to everyone: "It's the group leader calling." Then he answered it.

It's unclear what Tai Liqun said on the other end of the phone, but after listening for a while, President Liu said, "Old Tai, I think it's better not to mess around like this. Actually, it's quite good that Zhiwei isn't going public."

After saying that, he abruptly pulled the phone away from his ear, and everyone else heard his angry shout coming from the receiver: "Old Liu, what do you mean?"

Mr. Liu then said into the phone, "That's exactly what I mean. Think about it carefully." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
