Originally, under Zhou Ming's persuasion, Holmes ignited a considerable fighting spirit and was ready to show his ability as the former vice president of a listed company in the subsequent investment negotiations. But then when he met the heads of Motong, Manhattan and Citi at the San Francisco Airport, he became timid at that time.

"Mr. Piero, Mr. Freeman and Mr. Tisman, I didn't expect that you were the three of you who came here." Sherlock Holmes said hello to the three of you humbly.

Sherlock Holmes was really about to cry. He never thought that Edison was just a startup company! As long as he could get a good angel investment, he would be very satisfied. How could these three big guys need to come forward?

Sherlock Holmes knew very well that these three were not only senior executives of investment banks, but also core figures of the three wealthy families behind them. They were completely unsatisfied with their identity as the former vice president of the listed company.

The previous ambitions disappeared at this moment and they didn't dare to think about anything more. They just treated it as a normal reception event. Piero and Freeman Tisman also understood that Holmes could not make the decision, so they didn't talk about anything about investment with Holmes at all. At most, they just talked about what Holmes had in Yiran Company before.

"The company is still a very good company. I know that Holmes, you were in charge of the development of the Kaguel gas field and participated in the rectification of the company's internal structure, which left a deep impression on me."

"Your president is also a very interesting guy. He is very stubborn and hopes to make decisions on many things. It is really difficult for you to be able to work with such a president."

"We have operated the stocks of Yiran Company several times, and it was also a relatively pleasant experience..."

This was a chat, and it was like an adult treating the lower class in a condescending manner, but Sherlock Holmes did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he took it for granted.

Sherlock Holmes took them back to Paro soon, and as they asked, he came directly to the company's office.

Zhou Ming and Isabella were waiting for the company to greet each other, shook hands and said hello enthusiastically.

Then they were taken to the company office. When they arrived here, Piero and others lost their previous courtesy with Sherlock Holmes. They directly asked Zhou Ming what his investment requirements were.

The first question that came up confused Sherlock Holmes: Didn’t you expect them to be so active?

Because in Holmes' memory, investment usually involves investors who are arrogant and demanding that the startup company introduce their entrepreneurial ideals, company development plans, and subsequent profit models, etc., as if these investors ask you to perform well. Only when you perform well will they reward you with some money.

After all, you are begging for food, and they are the ones who pay the money. Even Holmes himself has conducted several investment negotiations, but this is the first time that investors like this can't wait for it first.

Compared to Sherlock Holmes' confusion and panic, Zhou Ming was much more aware of him. After all, he and Piero are old acquaintances, and everyone understands each other very well, so those boring politeness can obviously be skipped directly.

Zhou Ming then said directly: "Edison only accepts a single investment of less than 5 million US dollars. According to my previous agreement with Edison, three investments of 5 million US dollars can only account for up to 40% of the equity share."

Sherlock Holmes suddenly became tense as he heard this. He didn't expect Zhou Ming to dare to speak like this.

Sherlock Holmes knew that the so-called agreement that Zhou Ming mentioned was not at all. It was made up by Zhou Ming himself. How dare he do it! You know that if the other party really paid for it, three or five million dollars would be $15 million. Just such a huge sum of money could not exceed 40% of the equity?

Is this really a startup company?

However, although Sherlock Holmes was surprised, he was at least the vice president of a listed company. He had very good emotional control and even his face was not unnatural.

But on the other side, Isabella couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God!"

Sherlock Holmes gritted his teeth and exclaimed in his heart that terrible.

But Zhou Ming asked her with a smile: "Why does Isabella still think that the shareholding ratio is very high? Actually, I think so too. I think 15 million may not even have 20 percentage points, but we are now a startup company, so it is normal for us to be underestimated."

Isabella smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. Sherlock Holmes opened her mouth to say something, but after hesitation, he still said nothing.

Piero and the other two looked at each other, and finally nodded to show that Zhou Ming’s distribution method was more reasonable, and then asked Zhou Ming for a specific investment plan.

Zhou Ming looked at Sherlock Holmes, who knew how to come up with an investment plan that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Piero.

But Piero took the proposal but didn't look at it. He just handed it over to the lawyer next to him, and then told the father and daughter of Sherlock Holmes and Isabella: "Please avoid it first. I have something special to talk to Mr. Zhou Ming alone."

Sherlock Holmes and Isabella were shocked at the time, but they had no choice but to stand up and leave the office.

Isabella was very dissatisfied with her father leaving the office. She felt that she was the founder of Edison. Even if Mr. Zhou Ming was great, what does it mean to not allow her to participate in the discussion when talking about investing in Edison's company? This is too despised.

Sherlock Holmes was so scared that he hurriedly covered Isabella's mouth and asked her to whisper, while also looking at the office, for fear that the sound insulation effect would not be good and would be heard inside.

"Don't say that, the three of them are not ordinary investors!" said Sherlock Holmes.

After his father's introduction, Isabella found out that the three were actually the core figures of the three giants Morgan, Rockefeller and Citi.

In particular, Holmes was very confident: "I have seen them at several high-end dinners and will not admit their mistakes!"

In Isabella's shock, Holmes told her: "So only Mr. Zhou Ming and Mr. Meilong are qualified for this investment negotiation, but we don't have it."

But Holmes didn't know that Piero and the others came here not for Edison's investment...or mainly not for this.

Because in the office, Piero spoke when Holmes and Isabella left.

"The Irank War is about to begin. Mr. Zhou Ming, when are you going to play here?" Piero asked.

There is no doubt that for people like Piero, not to mention a five million investment, even a fifty million investment is just that. What really makes them care about is Yi

The benefits of the Rank War.

You should know that before, the oil-for-food plan alone could bring them billions of dollars in profits every year, not to mention post-war reconstruction, dividing "ownerless" oil fields and oil companies, etc., these are all huge wealth! In particular, these wealthy families themselves are part of arms dealers, and when the war breaks out, they can make money into their own pockets through war debts.

But now as the war approaches, Zhou Ming is still starting a business in Silicon Valley?

Can this not make them anxious? So they rushed to San Francisco.

But Zhou Ming quit: "What does it mean to play? I'm a very legitimate investment. OK, a blood-drop testing project, don't you think it's cool?"

Piero Freeman and Teesman looked at each other, and finally Teesman said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, we all know that the purpose of investing in Edison is to tell the idiots in Meilong through the rapid increase in value of Edison, that the medical industry has great potential, so that they can transform as soon as possible, right?"

Freeman then continued: "I think we have a good foundation for cooperation!"

Piero continued: "First of all, we invest together, which is a good market vane, which will make Edison more likely to be favored by other investment banks."

"In addition, we can also help you contact some celebrities to help you stand up, such as the famous medical expert Dr. Chifford, or a former senior federal official, or even a former general. We can all find you."

Listening to what Piero said, Zhou Ming felt a lot of grief in his heart at that time!

Because in Zhou Ming's memory, the names Piero mentioned were members of the board of directors of Edison. It was precisely because of the platform given to him by these people behind the scenes that Isabella made a drop of blood detect this obvious scam project that could become so popular.

But originally Zhou Ming thought that it was made bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, but he didn't expect that Piero would throw it out directly now.

What? Is it true that I am the one who really stands for Isabella behind his feelings? But there was no Zhou Ming in his previous life...

Piero and the other three didn't know that Zhou Ming was feeling that the rolling wheels of history were unstoppable. Even if someone changed, what should happen would still follow the established track of history. Piero just felt that Zhou Ming frowned and seemed to be dissatisfied.

They looked at each other and continued to tell Zhou Ming that they were willing to introduce Edison to cooperate with top medical laboratories in the United States, such as Hawkings and Columbus Hospital.

Freeman also said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I hope you can understand that this is already the greatest sincerity we can show!"

Zhou Ming smiled in his heart, knowing that these guys had misunderstood, but Zhou Ming didn't intend to explain anything, he just made the mistake wrong.

"I think your proposal is very good. Your proposal made me discover the biggest shortcomings of Edison's company now. If you can really find these celebrities to stand up for Edison, I will bring you the biggest surprise!" Zhou Ming said.

Piero nodded and said, "This is not a problem. As long as Mr. Zhou Ming, you can complete the matter here as soon as possible and focus on the upcoming Irank War, that is the most important cooperation!"
Chapter completed!
