Chapter 184 The college entrance examination is coming
"Uncle, can you leave me some shares?"
Cao Fan said with a flattering face.
As we all know, the success rate of the "test-tube meat" project is extremely low. He didn't have high expectations in the first place. It would be great if he could attract investment, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. At worst, he would just ax the project.
As for paying out of pocket?
Don't even think about it.
He is not a young man who has just stepped out of society, nor is he a prodigal. He will not take risks with his family background.
In fact, in the final analysis, I still lack confidence in the "in vitro meat" project.
Zhang Hao smiled and nodded: "My uncle will leave you two or three shares. You will hold 20% yourself, and the remaining 10% will be used as an option reward."
"Okay, uncle, how much do you plan to invest?"
Cao Fan did not refuse. After all, with his uncle's wealth, he would definitely not suffer a loss.
Zhang Hao did not answer, but directly stretched out a finger.
"One hundred million?"
Cao Fan calculated it secretly.
This investment amount is relatively fair, and neither party suffers a loss.
"What can one hundred million do? Professor Hou also said just now that this is a 'black technology', and it is difficult to develop. One hundred million probably won't last long."
Zhang Hao shook his head.
Cao Fan swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief:
"It won't be one billion, right?"
"It's not one billion, it's ten billion. If there's not enough money later, I will continue to increase investment."
Zhang Hao didn't sell things anymore.
Although "test tube meat" is called a black technology, compared with "controllable nuclear fusion", it is undoubtedly dwarfed. He is planning to move 10 billion out of it.
】
Anyway, "Controllable Nuclear Fusion" is a super project. It's not much more than 10 billion, and it's not much less than 10 billion. It doesn't hurt at all.
In contrast, "test tube meat" can still see hope of success, unlike "controllable nuclear fusion", which is still fifty years away.
"Ten billion?"
Hou Junsheng on the side suddenly widened his eyes and suspected that he had heard wrongly. The big boss was indeed the big boss, and his actions were astronomical.
Cao Fan also exclaimed: "Uncle, are you kidding me?"
He owns 20% of the shares, which is equivalent to an extra two billion in net worth at once, and he can't rob a bank so quickly.
"I'm so full that I'm joking with you? If you don't have any objections, we can sign the contract tomorrow. As for the 10 billion, I will transfer it to the company account in batches."
"No objection, I am stupid to have any objection."
Cao Fan immediately shook his head.
"It's fine if you agree, but let's make an agreement first. Your position will not change, and you will still be responsible for the daily management of the company, but I will take over the finance."
As a major shareholder, this is the most basic operation.
Cao Fan nodded: "That's right. With such a large investment, if necessary, even I, the general manager, can step down and make way for someone else."
"There's no need to abdicate. I believe in your ability." Zhang Hao patted the other party on the shoulder.
My eldest nephew has entrepreneurial experience, and he has done a good job, so he is trustworthy.
"As long as you are not afraid that I will lose all my money."
"Don't worry. After all, investing in black technology like in vitro meat is inherently risky. Even if you lose everything, it's normal. Don't have any burden."
Zhang Hao smiled and reassured.
Cao Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then invited his uncle into the office, ready to ask for advice.
"Uncle, how should I spend these 10 billion?"
"Recruit people first, talent is the foundation."
"How many people are hired?"
"How do I know? You can ask Professor Hou to build as many R&D teams as possible, and then adopt a final elimination system to let them compete with each other."
Zhang Hao thought about it for a moment and immediately suggested.
This is a recipe for success for a large local manufacturer. Apart from being a waste of scientific research funds, the effect is still very obvious, and he happens to be not short of money.
"Will this work?"
"Is it okay? You try it first and then talk about it."
Zhang Hao said without hesitation.
"Okay!" Cao Fan nodded, "Uncle, what about plant-based meat? I plan to build a formal factory, what do you think?"
"Okay, you don't have to ask me about such little things from now on, you can just make the decision yourself."
Zhang Hao waved his hand.
"But the raw materials..."
The supply and marketing cooperatives are out of business and they have no choice but to find another way.
"Try to spend as much money as possible to buy it on the black market, and also find your second aunt. She can help you get some mushrooms and earthworm powder. You can improve the formula here."
"Mushroom? Earthworm powder? No soybeans?"
Soybeans are the main raw material.
“I don’t have soybeans, do I need soybean meal?”
"Soybean meal?" Cao Fan was stunned at first, and then said impatiently: "Yes, soybean meal can be processed into plant protein. Uncle, can you supply it in large quantities?"
"I can help you ask, it shouldn't be a big problem." Zhang Hao agreed casually.
At present, Huicheng's food supply is not too tight, at least not to the point of "feed". There is a lot of room for maneuver.
"Thank you, uncle."
"You don't need to thank me. I am now the company's major shareholder. This is what I should do. But I also want to remind you that soybean meal can only be supplied for a few months at most. You have to think of other ways."
"Ah? I understand."
"Don't be discouraged. If it really doesn't work, stop doing plant-based meat for the time being and focus all your energy on in-vitro meat. This is the real gold mine."
Zhang Hao patiently warned.
He is not short of money now, so he doesn’t need to worry about the little “Weibo” profit from plant-based meat.
"Okay, I will seriously consider it."
Cao Fan doesn't want to give up. He is more optimistic about plant-based meat than the "ethereal" test-tube meat.
……
After leaving Huizhong Building, Zhang Hao was about to go home, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Jiayi at the gate.
"Xiaohao, how's it going with Cao Fan?"
"It's okay. Xiaofan has good vision. I'm going to invest 10 billion in their company."
Zhang Jiayi said in shock: "Are you serious?"
She helped establish her eldest nephew's company, so she is no stranger to it.
In her opinion, this company has limited potential and is not worthy of heavy investment.
"Of course, I am personally very optimistic about their 'test tube meat' project."
"You..." Zhang Jiayi paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, you can spend your own money however you want, I can't control it..."
"Ahem, second sister, what do you want from me?"
Zhang Hao quickly changed the topic, not wanting to waste time on this issue.
"Are you going home later?"
"Yeah." Zhang Hao nodded.
"That's good, help me take Emma and Cao Yan back together! The Education Bureau just issued a notice that the college entrance examination will officially start next Monday."
"So urgent?"
There are only three days left before the college entrance examination.
"School will start next month. If you don't take the exam, it will be too late. Don't worry, I hired a tutor for them both and they have been keeping up with their studies."
In order to prepare for the college entrance examination, Zhang Jiayi specially prepared a small classroom for the two sisters in early June, so that they could practice and attend classes at the same time.
