Chapter 288 My Mom Called Again
A former mobile phone giant suffered a sharp drop in its market value and huge economic losses due to safety issues with its mobile phone batteries, which even affected the economy of the entire country.
"By the way, Xu You, would you consider investing?"
At this time, Luo Wenkun proposed to let Xu You invest.
Different from the previous refusal, at this time, Xu You had some changes in his views on the issue of investing.
If you are one of the company's shareholders, you will save a lot of trouble in the application of the company's various technologies.
In addition, this will also bring more income to Xu You.
When Xu You decided to establish his own scholarship foundation, he gradually realized the role of having wealth.
Having wealth does not mean you have to enjoy it, but it means you can use it more freely.
In this way, Xu You would not be unable to help more outstanding students who are under financial pressure due to his limited funds.
Thinking of this, Xu You said:
"If you buy shares, how will the investment capital and shareholding ratio be converted?"
Luo Wenkun waved his hand and said:
"You don't have to pay for it. I'll just give you 5% of the shares. Of course, I don't want to use the shares to get the right to use your patent for free. The patent royalties will be calculated normally. What I said before, I will definitely keep my word."
On this point, Luo Wenkun did a very good job.
"If I don't pay money and buy shares directly, won't the other shareholders of the company have any objections?"
"I can just give you some of my shares. Now I have 51% of the shares, and I can still make the final decision on these."
When Xu You heard the number "51%", he realized a problem.
"If you give me 5%, then your shareholding will be less than 50%. Does that mean you will no longer have controlling rights?"
"Normally, yes, but you can set up preferred shares. For example, Brother Dong only holds more than 20% of the shares, but controls more than 80% of the company's voting rights. In the future, as we continue to raise funds, my shareholding ratio will gradually decrease. But no matter what, I will definitely hold the control of the company firmly in my hands."
Luo Wenkun's original intention of starting a business was not just to make money, but also to realize an ambition in his heart.
"Okay, then I'll confirm with the school whether investing in the company meets the school's requirements."
"Yes. Actually, this should be completely fine. Some university teachers even start their own companies, and the school doesn't object."
At this time, Xu You remembered Luo Wenkun's explanation of the thin and light style just now.
"By the way, you just said, besides mobile phones, what other thin and light things do you like?"
Luo Wenkun: “…”
…
In the days that followed, Xu You completed the patent application and reached a cooperation agreement with Luo Wenkun's Fulun Technology Company.
Regarding the issue of investing in the company, the school stated that it would not interfere in any way, and Xu You could invest in Fulon Technology with confidence.
The current valuation of Fulun Technology has exceeded 1 billion Chinese yuan, which means that the 5% stake that Luo Wenkun gave to Xu You will be worth no less than 50 million.
Regarding the next round of financing, Luo Wenkun is also actively discussing with investors. It is expected that the next round of financing will not be less than 1 billion Chinese yuan.
In addition to patent royalties and the value of shares, Xu You can also receive a certain amount of company dividends every year, which allows Xu You to have more income.
In the future, Xu You plans to further expand the scale of his scholarship foundation to help more students.
Fulun Technology has also begun research and development of new mobile phone battery technology.
As the owner of the technology, Xu You also takes time to come to Fulun Technology to participate in the guidance of research and development.
Under Xu You's guidance, the research and development of batteries for new mobile phones progressed smoothly.
If nothing goes wrong, this battery technology can be applied to the next generation of Fulon mobile phones.
In June, this class of undergraduates completed their defense.
Both Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun successfully completed their undergraduate defense and became direct doctoral students in the next batch.
The two of them completed their undergraduate studies in three years, which is quite impressive.
Lou Song has also graduated from undergraduate school and, like Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun, stayed at Jilin University to pursue a doctorate.
This time, Lou Song did not choose to study abroad.
During his communication with Lou Song, Xu You learned that Lou Song had received invitations from many prestigious foreign universities, hoping that he could study in their schools.
These schools are ranked higher than Jilin University in international rankings.
But after weighing the pros and cons, Lou Song finally chose to stay in Ji University.
Lou Song himself said that he was once very conflicted about this choice.
Objectively speaking, going abroad provides better resources and environment.
But during the year he spent abroad, Lou Song never really found a sense of belonging, and he still felt more at home in China.
In the past two years, the level of mathematics at Ji University has also improved to a certain extent, and the school has also agreed to give Lou Song more resources.
This makes Lou Song more inclined to stay in the country.
Another reason is that I can see Xu You often at Ji University.
Xu You alone is enough to replace many foreign experts.
This also made Lou Song finally determined to stay and work with Xu You to contribute to creating a better domestic academic environment.
At the end of June, Xu You finished his teaching work for this semester.
After one semester of teaching, Xu You’s teaching ability has become more mature and he gradually regards the teaching process as a kind of enjoyment.
This semester, Xu You also discovered several students with outstanding abilities and helped them enter the laboratory and get involved in scientific research early.
Xu You hopes that he can help some outstanding students grow quickly, just like Wang Xiangwu did in the past.
Just when Xu You began to focus all his energy on scientific research.
Xu You received another call from Wu Jing.
"What are your plans for summer vacation?"
Hearing this, Xu You roughly guessed that there might be another mission this time.
"The class just ended, and I've finished the main assignments. Please give me instructions!"
"Well, don't worry, just take care of your school work first, and I'll contact you in a few days. I won't be on site this time, but I will arrange for someone to pick you up."
Even if Wu Jing was not present, Xu You would not refuse anything.
After all, he can't always rely on his mother to keep things in check. Xu You has to rely on himself to make a name for himself.
Just like last time, Wu Jing did not explain the specific content and location of the mission to Xu You on the phone.
However, Xu You had no objection to this. He felt that this was an obligation he had to fulfill.
