"Aren't you guys going to invest in Tao Lei? This would be a huge market worth two trillion.”
Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Two trillion!
Was he hinting?
Everyone was shocked.
Are you robbing me?
Boss Ma added,
"Two trillion is indeed a vast market, and it is also a market full of infinite possibilities…We, Penguin, have invested 200 billion in Taolei. We will take 10% of the shares and a portion of the authorization.”
He looked over calmly.
It was as if he was not talking about 200 billion, but 2,000 yuan.
Liu Mi, who earned hundreds of millions a year as a celebrity, was dumbfounded.
Was this the scene of a business contract negotiation?
It was too terrifying!
200 billion was money that she would never be able to earn in her entire life, yet she only managed to get 10% of the shares?
Everyone was also shocked.
200 billion was already higher than the market value of most listed companies. Hai 'er, which was ranked in the top three in the home appliances industry, was less than 300 billion.
This was definitely not a small sum of money!
Even if it was not the largest investment in history, it was definitely in the forefront.
"Sure."
Lin Chen stood on the stage and extended his hand to Boss Ma.
Penguin's CEO Ma walked up to the stage and shook his hand. A smile finally appeared on his refined face.
"I'm looking forward to seeing Penguin Corporation working with Taoyuan Technology and you to create a smart era. I believe that there will be more amazing products in the future that will greatly change people's lives.”
"Boss Ma, it's a pleasure working with you. I'm also looking forward to working with a mature content producer like Penguin.”
The two of them praised each other.
They clasped their hands together and faced the crowd for the reporters to take photos.
It was a standard smile after a business partnership was reached.
The cooperation between the two companies was officially set, and the small details were left to the subordinates to discuss.
Of course, Penguin was now a huge company with a market value of nearly five trillion. The board of directors was very complicated. Lin Chen would not be surprised if Boss Ma went back to the board of directors and went back on his word.
At least now, they had reached an agreement.
The others could vaguely see one thing:
It wasn't easy to talk to Lin Chen alone. It was even more difficult to sit down with him to discuss a business contract, even with Boss Ma.
Therefore, Penguin CEO Ma had no choice but to increase the price in public and reach a full cooperation with Lin Chen.
President Ma had reached a partnership with Taoyuan Technology. What about the other Boss Ma?
Everyone turned to look at Ma Qingyang.
The person in charge of Baofutong returned to his smiling expression and did not respond to anyone's gaze. He only smiled and looked at Lin Chen and President Ma on the stage. He even clapped.
They were either clapping in a weird way or clapping in celebration, just like the CEOs of other Penguin companies.
"As expected of an old fox."
Someone said in his heart.
Ma Qingyang didn't say anything.
But it was already a gesture.
Many people guessed that there were only two possibilities for Ma Qingyang:
First, he didn't want to invest in the same company as Penguin.
Secondly, Baofutong did not want to bet on Taoyuan Technology.
Perhaps it was Penguin's 200 billion investment plus 50 billion in equipment that really scared him. He thought that Tao Lei was not worth that much money.
How much was the investment of 200 billion?
Penguin and Baofutong had similar market valuations, both of which were a little over 4 trillion, which was several times worse than the 15 trillion of the fruit company.
The cash reserves of the two companies were only 300 to 400 billion.
In other words, after investing in Tao Lei, Baofutong's cash flow would be reduced by more than half.
Who could take this?
Many people even guessed that the full cooperation with Taoyuan Technology and the investment of 200 billion were all made at the last minute by Penguin CEO Ma.
If he went back to the board meeting, there was a high chance that it would not pass.
That was why CEO Ma needed to confirm this matter in public. His goal was to put pressure on the board of directors and make them agree to this cooperation.
But it was still very difficult.
Taoyuan Technology's appetite was too big.
He needed 200 billion in cash to give him 10% of the shares and to nominate a director for the new company.
Furthermore, it had to be in cash and no other equivalent exchange was accepted.
You want to get in the car without paying?
That was impossible. He had to fork out 200 billion in exchange for a comprehensive strategic cooperation with Tao Lei.
However, Tao Lei did not include other products of Taoyuan Technology.
"President Ma, what do you think?"
A reporter who was sitting very close to Ma Qingyang boldly asked for his opinion.
Instantly, countless gazes focused on him.
Even the other reporters admired his courage. He actually dared to ask for Ma Qingyang's opinion now!
"What can I think? I can't read it."
Ma Qingyang waved his hand." President Ma of Penguin is a business genius that I admire. He also started out in the technical field. He felt that Tao Lei was worth two trillion yuan and decided to invest. I can't do that. I'm just a village teacher. I have to go back and ask my team. I'll see what those technical people say before I dare to make a decision.”
His answer was flawless.
He praised Penguin, praised another Boss Ma, and then humbled himself that he was not in the technical field, so he could not see the value of Tao Lei.
"200 billion is not a small amount of money."
Ma Qingyang said meaningfully.
The reporters could come up with ten different meanings from this sentence!
Did he think that Penguin's Boss Ma was crazy?
On the stage.
"Thank you, Boss Ma, for your generous investment."
Seeing that he would be able to earn 200 billion yuan, and it was even the money he had scraped off Old Ma, Lin Chen felt comfortable and happy. He said,"In order to reassure the investors, I announce that Tao Lei's hidden function is officially open.”
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
Even Mr. Ma, who was sitting opposite Lin Chen, was in high spirits. He was ready to immediately arrange for someone to do a detailed product evaluation to see how much Tao Lei's commercial value was.
If it was not worth two trillion, the contract would have to be discussed in detail.
"Everyone can now ask your AI assistant, Tao Lei, to change your equipment to Taoyuan Technology's AI system. There are restrictions!”
Lin Chen emphasized.
"What are the restrictions?"
Boss Ma immediately asked.
"There are many, many things. You can ask your AI assistant for the details. Anything that cannot be installed is a restriction.”
Lin Chen said.
However, it also indirectly showed that Tao Lei was intelligent enough to make restrictions on her own.
"Let's have a small treasure hunt while we are at it.”
Lin Chen smiled." The first person to apply the peach bud to the new device will receive a reward of 10,000 to 100,000 yuan. Twain's reward doesn't count. You can also grab the reward for common devices such as mobile phones and tablets.”
The reporters were very excited, but unfortunately, they would be activated at the same time later, so they might not be able to snatch it from the others.
" In addition, if you use Tao Lei as the main control center and invent new equipment and toys, you will also receive a reward of 10,000 yuan. Tao Lei will be in charge of the evaluation criteria. There will be no manual labor. If Tao Lei thinks that your work is novel and fun enough, you will receive a reward. The prize pool will be temporarily set at 100 million yuan.”
One hundred million meant ten thousand new inventions.
All of them used the peach bud as the main control center.
A robot? Household robot? Small drones and spraying pesticide?
Everyone's imagination was limited, and they could only think of so much for the time being.
"How many rewards can I get if I let Tao Lei be the hub of the supercomputer?”
Boss Ma joked.
"It must be the top 100,000."
Lin Chen replied.
There was a hidden meaning in their conversation. Penguin always asked him if Tolei could control the supercomputer.
Lin Chen replied,"Yes."
"Alright, if your devices are connected to the internet and you have obtained authorization from the server, you can now use Tao Lei's new function.”
Lin Chen announced.
Many people couldn't wait to take out a spare phone to install the new system. The party instantly turned into a flash event.
When someone finally installed it successfully, everyone gathered around and exclaimed from time to time.
"Tao Lei is so powerful. I wonder what will happen to Omi's stock market tonight?”
One sentence.
Everyone fell silent.
They suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, causing their scalps to go numb.
How much?
