Chapter 351 Meeting Su Tingting again

What Yang Chenglin had always thought before was that if he could obtain venture capital, the company's management rights could still be retained in the hands of his three co-founders.

As venture capital companies, they generally value the future growth of the company and the high rate of return on investment it can bring them. As for the management rights of the company, they don't care.

But for Hu Yang, he wants to develop and expand the chip design company of Charming Technology Group. Overseas acquisitions are just for technology and talents. How can he give up the leadership of the company to others?

After hearing what Yang Chenglin said, Yang Chenglin sighed secretly in his heart.

At that time, the three co-founders invested US$500,000. Up to now, the company has less than US$200,000 on its books since establishing Ripper.

Without new capital injection, how close would Ripper be to bankruptcy?

"Mr. Hu, I need to go back and discuss this matter with my partners, and I will give you a reply in two days, is that okay?"

Yang Chenglin decided to have a good talk with the two co-founders after going back. At present, it seems that the entrepreneurial project of the three of them can almost be regarded as a failure.

According to Hu Yang's acquisition plan, it is equivalent to Yang Chenglin and others selling the company, including the company's technology, patents, etc.

"Okay, Dr. Yang, you can discuss the acquisition slowly. I may stay in the United States for a while, so I have enough time."

Hu Yang smiled. It is not easy to rush into this kind of thing. When the other party figures it out, he will naturally know what to choose.

"Mr. Hu, I'll take my leave now. Please stay."

Yang Chenglin stood up to say goodbye, and Hu Yang personally escorted him out of the hotel.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Sun just told me to tell you that it may be difficult for Ripper to attract investment. We just need to treat the acquisition with a normal mind."

After Lin Yan sent Sun Yunyi away before, she did not enter the coffee shop again to facilitate Hu Yang and Yang Chenglin to discuss things.

"Haha, this guy Sun Yunyi is really interesting."

If Sun Yunyi asked Lin Yan to take charge, he would be giving Populus euphratica the upper hand. Obviously, between friends and Populus euphratica, Sun Yunyi chose Populus euphratica.

In the evening, Manager Liao held a small dinner party in a Western restaurant.

The dinner was attended by 8 employees from Huijia Venture Capital (North America) and more than 30 employees from the Silicon Valley Research Institute of Charming Technology Chip Design Company.

These employees all know that the company's big boss has come to the United States, and this is the first time for most of them to see Populus euphratica with their own eyes.

Hu Yang walked into this small restaurant and greeted everyone one by one with a smile. Manager Liao, Lin Yan and Shao Qing accompanied him.

"Mr. Hu, including the research institute, about half of these employees are white, and some are Chinese Americans. Among our North American venture capital employees, only I and one other employee were transferred from Xiangjiang, and the rest

They are all locals. At the institute, the ratio of domestic employees to foreign employees is about 1:1."

At a small dinner party, Hu Yang really felt some differences between foreign branches and mainland companies.

He spoke a few words briefly before the dinner, and then announced the start of the dinner.

"Mr. Hu, there are many differences in working abroad. I have basically adapted to it now."

Manager Liao and Shao Qing took turns acting as Hu Yang’s translator. Daily communication between North American venture capital and the research institute was in English.

The person in charge of the research institute, surnamed Yu, was transferred from China. He didn't talk much throughout the evening and drank very little.

When there was no one else around Populus euphratica, he came over and sat down.

"Director Yu, in a foreign country, there are always difficulties of one kind or another. Thank you all for your hard work. By the way, are you familiar with Ripper Company?"

Hu Yang encouraged Director Yu and then talked about Ripper Company.

"I'm not very familiar with this company. I only know that several of their founders left Micron to start their own businesses. Hey, if these people can join our chip design company, it will definitely increase the company's technical strength by several degrees.

orders of magnitude.”

Director Yu of the research institute had heard about Ripper's technology path, and it happened to be technologically complementary to that of Charming Technology Chip Design Company.

"Very good! I intend to acquire the Ripper Company. After the negotiations officially begin, you will also participate as a technical consultant. However, this matter is still in the confidential stage, so there is no need to publicize it in a big way for the time being."

Hu Yang was very excited after listening to Director Yu's words. Since Ripper's technology is urgently needed by himself, he must re-evaluate the value of this company.

Of course, Hu Yang did not forget to give an explanation to Director Yu to avoid letting Ripper know his bottom line.

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I remember it. If we can successfully acquire Ripper, it will undoubtedly bring huge development opportunities to the company."

Director Yu was filled with emotion. He did not talk about the design company, but only his own Silicon Valley Research Institute. So far, there has been progress in research, but not much. To put it bluntly, technology does not appear out of thin air. It needs to be based on a certain basis.

, slowly accumulated.

What the Charming Technology Group chip design company lacks is exactly the foundation.

The dinner party lasted for more than two hours, and the employees were very excited. Unexpectedly, the big boss had no airs at all, and everyone was able to say a few words to him.

The next day.

After breakfast, Hu Yang planned to go to Robert Brokerage Company. He wanted to meet Tom. This time, Tom introduced the Ripper Company's financing project to Huijia Venture Capital.

Hu Yang didn't ask Manager Liao to send a car over. There were only seven or eight kittens in the venture capital company, so it was better not to affect other people's normal work.

Anyway, the hotel itself has a car rental service, with cars and drivers included, so Hu Yang directly rented two cars.

"Oh! I just received a call from the front desk, and I almost thought I heard it wrong. It's really you, Mr. Hu! Welcome to San Francisco again."

Tom came out in an exaggerated manner and invited Hu Yang, Lin Yan, and Shao Qing into his office.

"Tom, thank you for everything you have done. You have provided a lot of help to my company. They all say you are doing a good job."

Hu Yang felt that although Robert Brokerage’s fees were high, they were worth the money. Therefore, he praised Tom a few times when they met.

"Mr. Hu, if you are satisfied with my work, it is the best reward for me. Sorry, I don't have tea here, only coffee. Please use it slowly."

Tom very thoughtfully asked for a few cups of hot coffee to be brought in. Populus euphratica was his big customer, so he had to deal with it carefully.

In fact, there was nothing important for Hu Yang to come over today. He just had a casual chat with Tom. At the same time, he asked him to continue to pay attention to some high-tech companies that need first-round financing. The focus is of course on semiconductors, software, and consumer electronics.

After chatting with Tom for about an hour, Hu Yang left Robert's agency and Tom sent him downstairs.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu..."

Separating from Tom, Hu Yang and his group walked to the parking spot. The driver was already waiting by the car and opened the door. The service was still in place.

Just as Hu Yang was about to get in the car, he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and took a private look, and saw a beautiful girl with a hot figure waving to him.

Hu Yang took a closer look, wasn't this Su Tingting?

"Assistant Lin, please wait for me."

Hu Yang smiled and said something to Lin Yan, and then walked towards Su Tingting. Li Jie and Lu Dacheng followed closely.

"Miss Su, we meet again." Hu Yang came to a stop not far from Su Tingting, said hello, then pointed to the Lamborghini parked next to her, and said: "Is this your car? I didn't expect Miss Su.

It’s the real person who doesn’t show his face.”

Su Tingting pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Why do real people not show their faces? Have I said anything? No? When did Mr. Hu come to the United States?"

"I just arrived yesterday, so I came here to take a look when I had nothing to do. What about you? Are you still in school?"

Hu Yang remembered that Su Tingting seemed to be still in college, but he didn't know the specific school.

"Well, I will graduate next year. It seems that Mr. Hu has not been very busy recently, and he actually has time to hang out. I said, last time I met you at sea, I hung up the communicator before I could finish talking. How do you treat someone like this?

Madam, isn’t it disrespectful to you?”

Su Tingting gritted her teeth secretly. Populus euphratica made her very angry last time.

One sentence, "Hello, Miss Su, goodbye, Miss Su" made her the laughing stock of her best friends.

"Haha, is there? I don't even remember it. Miss Su, the situation was a bit special at that time. If I am offended, please don't take it personally."

Hu Yang didn't want to have an argument with a girl in the street, so he just laughed and skipped the topic.

"Huh! You're not sincere at all. Mr. Hu, if you really want to apologize to me, why not treat me to lunch? Let me think about it, what should I eat? Well, let's go to Chinatown for Chinese food."

Su Tingting talked to herself and made a decision directly.

Hu Yang has never found out Su Tingting's identity and background. He really wants to know what this rich girl is planning.

Looking at the watch, it was still early, so he said: "Okay, then I will wait for you in Chinatown at one o'clock at noon. I remember there is a big Sichuan restaurant there. Are you not afraid of spicy food?"

"Okay, I like Sichuan food the most, so it's settled, see you there at one o'clock."

After Su Tingting finished speaking, she got into her Lamborghini and drove out of Populus euphratica's sight in a flash.

Hu Yang turned back to his car and got in.

"Boss, where are we going now?"

Lin Yan dislikes that woman Su Tingting, but she won't talk too much in front of Hu Yang. This is not an issue she should touch.

"Well, let's go to Huijia Venture Capital."

Huijia Venture Capital (North America) has only eight employees, and its office is not far from here.

Ten minutes later, Hu Yang was sitting in Manager Liao's office.

Manager Liao reported the recent work situation to Hu Yang. Venture capital companies have invested in several small companies in Silicon Valley, with a total investment of about US$17 million.

"Mr. Hu, these investments will be realized within one to two years, and the investment profit rate is expected to be around 130%."

With a return on investment of 1.3 times and being cashed out within two years, Hu Yang was very satisfied with the early work of the venture capital company.

"Manager Liao, everyone's work has been very effective. I hope you will continue your efforts. Okay, that's it for today. You continue to work. I'm leaving."
