When Jim and the other two met Kent again, they were undoubtedly uneasy. When they recalled that they finally found an opportunity to hand over the "Plan" during the seminar, they received a sentence of "sorry". So the meeting again today always makes people feel that they lack confidence.

Looking at the expressions of the three young men in front of him, Kent smiled: "Gentlemen, take it easy. In fact, calling you is the intention to invest in White Lotus. Now it is nothing more than the conditions. Do you understand? The conditions for mutual benefit!"

Thinking of the phone call Jing Jian called him last night, Kent already knew what attitude he should use today. Kent now blindly trusts Jing Jian's decision, and Kent's request for him is nothing more than how to better implement it!

Jim and the other two immediately showed joy and looked at each other. Steve took the lead and asked, "What conditions do you want?" Now he is suffering from no one invests, so in the minds of these people, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, everything should be easy to say.

Kent said: "We can invest $500,000 in advance, and you can be responsible for the CEO and operating rights of the new company, but we need the final decision-making power. A reminder, we are not those venture capital companies, not just looking at the return on investment, but serving our White Lotus' business strategy."

"Of course. We will respect every suggestion of investors." Steve, the appointed CEO, replied carefully, "But Mr. Kent, can you talk about the final decision-making power in detail?" Of course, try to strive for more of the company's rights that may be in charge in the future.

"It's very simple. We will provide the company's development direction and you must not violate it. In addition, you can act freely."

Jim and the other three looked dark, and this was a completely insulting rhythm. If the company was not well managed in the future, that would be fine; but if it flourished, as long as Bai Lianhua increased its shares with its strong capital, these three people would immediately lose control of the company.

Steve also looked ugly and asked unwillingly: "Actually, our "Project" has explained that the new technology we developed is very promising. So can this decision-making power be replaced with the right to suggest?"

"Haha." Kent smiled, "You may not understand yet. What we White Lotus need is to do research and development according to our business strategy, and to do your new technologies...? Sorry, there is definitely no priority. Please remember that this is the basis of our cooperation."

Jim and the other two suddenly realized that Bai Lianhua didn't want to invest in new technologies in the computer IT industry, but just needed... In today's terms, she was nothing more than a group of coders.

"Can you reveal what is the research and development?" Jim asked.

"Trade secrets, sorry, there is nothing to say about. But you should be able to guess that it is about the Internet." Speaking of this, Kent took a sip of coffee, "Let's do it first, you can go back and think about it. If you have any intention, please give me a reply within two days."

“…”

...

It has to be said that the elites in the computer IT industry, or these technical ottomen, were still very arrogant and even quite noble. Of course, they wanted to start a business and become billionaires admired by thousands of people, but on the other hand, they were sought after by capital everywhere, and they had a mentality that the emperor's daughter would not get married.

Especially the conditions of White Lotus are quite harsh. The most important one is to have the decision-making power for R&D? This makes Jim, the three technical otaks, unbearable. "You can insult my people, but you must not insult my R&D technology!"

Therefore, as soon as they left, the three of them discussed a few words and decided unanimously: "Let this white lotus go to hell!"

However, that night, Jim tossed and turned on the bed in the hotel. In fact... he was really so sure that his research results would definitely be successful? Even if he had the results, would he find new investors? These are all unknowns.

Although the conditions of White Lotus are... very unpleasant, they have shares in Microsoft and support from White Lotus Company. Even if they have other R&D directions, the success rate will definitely be much higher. In my heart, even if they can be a technical supervisor and obtain part of the company's shares, they will be very satisfied. After all, they don't need their own personal investment, and they just spend some time and energy on R&D.

Reality may be helpless. In order to start a business, Jim became as honest as a passerby. On the next day, after avoiding Steve and Ma Kai, Jim secretly called Kent and made an appointment to meet at 2 pm.

After dressing up, Jim came to the White Lotus headquarters on time. However, he was stunned when he was about to rent. He saw Ma Kai also arrived in another taxi and saw himself. For a moment, both of them looked at each other, opened their mouths in surprise, and stared at them...

Finally woke up, Jim laughed and stretched out his hand: "Haha, Ma Kai, are you here too?" No moral integrity anymore, is there still a need to hurt each other?

Ma Kai shook his head while smiling and shook his hands: "This is really..., this is really..."

"Okay! Where is Steve?" Jim asked.

"I don't know. Let's go in first."

"Well, then we agreed to find a way to win more shares."

"That's certain. Jim, I'm not good at socializing. If the CEO really gives it to us, then you can do it."

"hehe……"

...

A few hours later, Jim and his two left, their faces still had a hint of incredible. It should be said that White Lotus had very good conditions, with an investment of 500,000 US dollars, but they only accounted for 60% of the company's shares, while Jim and Ma Kai each accounted for 20%. Especially the CEO of the new company was Jim, and Ma Kai became the company's CTO (Chief Technology Officer). It should be said that he occupied two important positions in this company called Iceberg Company.

As for the 60% stake, Jing Jian only has 15% of private shares, and the rest are Bailian's company shares. The reason why this arrangement is to be inconspicuous after listing. Yes, the reason why Jing Jian established this company is to go public and take advantage of the bubble of online stocks to make money on Nasdaq.

However, what is the company's R&D direction? Jim looked at Ma Kai and smiled bitterly, "Let's...email?"

Ma Kai also shrugged with a bitter smile. To be honest, the technology of email has long been mature, it is nothing more than that the network conditions are poor now and it is not very popular. However, for Jim and the others, such research and development is completely useless. But... Anyway, there are people who invest, so what if they don't care.

"Then have a drink and celebrate?" Jim invited with a smile.

"Drink a drink!"
