Sail across the sea

What is inhumanity?
This is called inhumanity!

Gao Fan wanted to borrow a loan of 200 million RMB from the bank, but it took a long time to talk, and even Xu Ying, the deputy director, dared not agree.The curious baby in front of him who claimed to be 18 years old only listened to himself fooling around for 10 minutes, and then threatened to take out 150 million US dollars to invest in the stock. The suspense was just how much equity Gao Fan was willing to let him take.

"Mr. Curious, are you sure you don't need to know more about my business and our business?"

Gao Fan asked cautiously.

Bob said: "No, of course I need to confirm that what you told me is true. But before I do that, I want to know if what you say is true, and I am willing to put $150 million into the stock , how many shares can you give me?"

Gao Fan thought for a while and said, "I can give you two choices. If you choose to invest in our vitamin E project, then you can get 40% of the equity; if you choose to invest in all of our vitamin projects, then I can Give you 10% of the equity."

"I choose the latter." Bob made his choice almost without stumbling.

"Why?" Gao Fan was really surprised this time.

Bob laughed and said, "Because your self-confidence made me realize that the latter choice is more sensible. I was born in an investment family, and my sensitivity to investment opportunities is hereditary."

"I admire your genetics." Gao Fan said sincerely.

Vitamin E is a small category in all vitamin products.Gao Fan chose to start with vitamin E only because this category is small enough that those chemical giants don't bother to pay attention.

Gao Fan's idea is to penetrate from the edge first, gradually accumulate strength, and eventually occupy the vitamin C market, which accounts for the largest proportion of vitamin products. The scale of this market will be dozens of times that of vitamin E.

He said that if Bob chooses the vitamin E project, he can give Bob 40% of the equity because the market is really insignificant and he needs the money urgently.

He gave Bob another option, allowing Bob to take a 10% stake in his entire vitamin product, literally gritted his teeth.

If one day, he can really realize his vision, then the 10% equity that Bob gets, the return he gets every year is hundreds of times the investment of this mere 150 million.

In terms of future earnings, he took out 10% of all the vitamin business, which should be exchanged for Bob's investment of at least 1500 million US dollars, but he can't say that now.If he said that, it is estimated that Bob would just walk away.

What he didn't expect was that this curious baby who had shown ignorance of the vitamin market before could make such a firm choice, and it was the choice that Gao Fan thought was more correct.

"So we're already partners? Well, you can call me Bob instead of Mr. Hatch."

Bob looked at Gao Fan, said with a smile, and extended a hand to Gao Fan at the same time.

"Okay, happy working with you, Bob!"

Gao Fan readily extended his hand to Bob, and held his hand together.

Next, Gao Fan explained the location of his booth to Bob, claiming that Bob could go to the booth to learn more about the situation, especially let the Maolin Provincial Department of Foreign Trade endorse him.

Bob said that he had to find out some information first, and then go to the booth of Maolin Province to find Gao Fan.If he is determined to invest in the vitamin project of Canghua Technology and Trade Company, it is also necessary to go to Cangtang to investigate the real situation of Canghua Company.

Getting such an unexpected potential investor made Gao Fan feel better.Before that, he was hit by his failure to the point of doubting his life.Unexpectedly, when God closed a door to him, he opened another wider door.

It doesn't make much sense to continue to advertise in the exhibition hall, and Gao Fan feels that if he continues to visit, there will be no results.Perhaps, getting acquainted with such a rich second generation in the United States is the biggest gain of his visit to Yangcheng this time.

Regarding Bob's identity, Gao Fan was not too worried.

First of all, in this era, no one will travel thousands of miles from the United States to China to cheat.This is not to say that there are no scammers in the United States in this era, but in their minds, China is a poor country, and the money that a scammer can cheat may not even be enough for a round-trip ticket.

Secondly, Gao Fan does not need to pay anything in advance in this transaction.If the funds promised by Bob can be obtained, he and Bob will cooperate to open a joint venture company, specializing in the development and production of vitamin technology.Conversely, if Bob has the mind of being an empty-handed wolf and can't come up with real money, Gao Fan has nothing to lose, right?
On the other side, watching Gao Fan walk away, Bob raised his hand to greet him, and two Americans in their 40s came out of nowhere and came to Bob.

"Bob, how was your conversation with that young Chinese man just now?" one of them asked.

"It was a good talk. I think he is a very smart Chinese." Bob commented.

"Very smart? What do you mean?" asked another.

Bob laughed: "Smart in the literal sense. He is different from all the Chinese people we meet these days. He is not only a technical expert, but also a market expert. I believe, give him a chance, He was able to make his business a very competitive business."

"Are you saying it's very competitive in China?"

"No, I mean globally competitive."

"Bob, you rarely comment on an entrepreneur like this, especially since he is a Chinese entrepreneur."

"Uncle Mike, you have to trust my eyes."

"That's for sure, the president has always been proud of you." The one named Mike complimented.He and another colleague named Kerry are employees of Harry's family business. This time, he accompanied Harry to China under the order of the old president, Harry, and belonged to Bob's entourage.

By the way, old Harry wasn't really that old, he was just in his 40s, in the prime of his life.Calling him Old Harry is just to distinguish him from Little Harry.

"The young man's name is Gao Fan. He is the general manager of Canghua Technology and Trade Company in Cangtang County, Maolin Province. He is also a first-year undergraduate student in the Chemistry Department of Peking University. He claims to have been born in a chemical family and owns many Chemical technology. Hurry up and find out about his situation." Bob ordered.

Mike and Kerry took out their little notebooks and quickly jotted down the information Bob said.Then Kerry asked, "Bob, what terms did you negotiate with him?"

"I put in $150 million and own 10 percent of his vitamin business," Bob said.

"How many sales is his vitamin business currently making?"

"He hasn't started producing vitamins, he doesn't even have a factory. His vitamin business is nothing but a concept so far, exactly."

"You mean... you plan to provide him with venture capital?" Mike and Kerry asked in surprise at the same time.
