Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again Chapter 580 - 217: Venture Capital Arrives, 100 Million Acqu

Last ti, he pressed the elevator for her; this ti, it was the other way around.

Su Zelin walked quickly into the door.

"Boss, what a coincidence!"

Li ng smiled warmly, taking the initiative to greet him.

When she first found out Su Zelin was the COO, she was a bit reserved, but now she was used to it.

"Indeed, ngi."

Su Zelin replied casually.

Everyone in the team had a nickna; Li ng was called ngi.

"Not going on a date for Christmas? Why are you at the company working overti!"

Su Zelin asked half-jokingly.

As far as he knew, Li ng had no plans for the afternoon.

"I don’t have a boyfriend yet, so I’d just be idle at ho. Might as well co to the company to be with colleagues and earn so extra cash!"

Li ng responded while pressing the elevator close button.

New Era’s business was busy now; almost every employee had to work overti.

Luckily, the team was full of young people, energetic and motivated, and the overti pay was generous. So unlike many other companies where employees would complain at the ntion of overti, so smart and proactive ones even volunteered.

Li ng was a smart girl. The company was in a rapid developnt phase, needing manpower the most; if you contribute a little more now and show your enthusiasm, it’s easier for the company to rember you; who knows when the bosses might give you a chance.

"Good job, ngi, keep it up! I believe in you!"

Su Zelin praised her.

He liked diligent and proactive employees.

This wasn’t the first ti he’d seen Li ng voluntarily working overti.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Li ng was invigorated: "Thanks, boss, I will keep working hard!"

While speaking, the elevator ascended to the floor where New Era’s headquarters was located. They went their separate ways; Su Zelin returned to his office, where docunts were piled up almost like a mountain. Just looking at them gave him a headache.

Probably he’d have to stay at the company straight through today; he wouldn’t be going ho until the evening.

In the office until dusk, Brother Xiao Yang and Kang Baohong arrived.

Neither of them was idle; Brother Xiao Yang had just returned from a business trip, and even on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, he didn’t have ti to spend with his wife. Fortunately, his wife was understanding, quietly being the woman behind him.

Upon returning to Lin’an, Yang Fen rushed to the headquarters because he, Su Zelin, and Kang Baohong had arranged to discuss several important matters.

None of them had eaten, so Kang Baohong brought a al box from the roadside when he ca. The three top executives ate and talked in the office, but this would beco a mory of hardship and sweet recollection in the future.

"A venture capital firm wants to acquire our company, offering a price of 100 million!"

Brother Xiao Yang dropped the bombshell after eating just a couple of bites.

This small eting didn’t include anyone else, because it involved so rather confidential matters that only mbers of the shareholders’ eting were qualified to know.

Now Kang Baohong was also a shareholder.

Su Zelin had divided a portion of his personal shares with him.

Not much, only two percent.

Nonetheless, Kang Baohong was very satisfied; the key was becoming a little boss, giving him a stronger sense of belonging, so those two percent shares were very aningful.

Of course, at that ti, he never thought those shares’ future value would beco surprisingly high.

"100 million!"

Kang Baohong gasped, forgetting to eat.

New Era, is it worth this much?

This ans two percent of the shares are worth two million.

Doesn’t that make a millionaire?

Millionaires are quite rare nowadays; Kang Baohong never dared to imagine he’d beco one of them.

Su Zelin, however, was not surprised at all.

A newly erging company with strong growth potential was bound to attract venture capital eventually.

So people can even create a shell company, speculate concepts, and sell for a high price, let alone New Era, which isn’t a concept-speculating shell company. It’s already on track and has stores in every city across the province, soon to beco a well-known provincial chain.

Moreover, all of this happened within two years.

In other words, this new company has limitless potential.

For such a company, even though it’s new, 100 million is really not much.

And this is just an offer; the other party is just testing the waters; obviously, there’s room for negotiation.

If this was last year when New Era wasn’t properly laid out, it’d be different.

The other party might only offer ten or twenty million.

"I’m not interested!"

Su Zelin didn’t even hesitate.

He didn’t care about 100 million; after all, in his previous life, he was the big boss of a group company, with a personal fortune approaching a billion.

New Era has potential to beco a unicorn; even if they offered several tis more, he wouldn’t sell.

Yang Fen had already anticipated his response, but seeing Su Zelin’s calm and resolute rejection, he couldn’t help but be impressed.

When the other party offered a 100 million acquisition price, he was indeed shocked.

New Era’s shareholding ratio between him and Su Zelin was seventy-thirty; if they sold, he’d get 30 million according to the ratio.

That’s a dizzying number, he could comfortably enjoy the rest of his life.

However, Brother Xiao Yang didn’t want to sell either.

After cooling down, he analyzed the situation thoroughly.

With New Era’s growth montum, what he could earn in the future might vastly exceed 30 million.

Moreover, although Su Zelin created this brand, he was also the boss and a founding mber, having put in so much effort and struggle, he had long regarded it as his own child.
