It was a week later that the contract was finalized.
At that time, there were only Xia Zhiye and Tony in the conference room.
The whole process was actually quite uneventful, except that Xia Zhiye suddenly thought of something and added it to the contract, which caused a slight controversy.
Apart from that, the whole thing is filled with dull emotions.
The only thing that surprised Xia Zhiye was the 10% stake of Stark Group.
In fact, when the dusty equity transfer document was handed to Xia Zhiye, his expression was surprised.
He never expected that Howard would make such a decision after his death.
No wonder Tony was so happy to transfer 10% of the shares to himself.
This kid got something for nothing!
Well, that’s actually an exaggeration.
Xia Zhiye was not dazzled by the huge profits, and his mind was extremely clear and calm.
It is clearly written on this share that it was given to Colonel Phillips, and his descendants have the right of inheritance!
But is Summer Night Colonel Phillips’ son
He is not!
Colonel Phillips's relationship with him had no legal effect, either then or now.
Especially now... The United States does not even acknowledge the existence of the instructor, let alone a story where a person who had been 'dead' for seventy years suddenly resurrected and inherited a large inheritance.
Regardless of whether Howard gave away his shares for his own reasons.
However, since Colonel Phillips died without any offspring, it would have been normal for the Stark Group to want to take back these shares, but they did not do so.
Whether it was Howard back then or Tony today, they always retain the uniqueness of this equity.
This alone is enough to make summer nights nostalgic.
At the same time, over the years, this equity has been dedicated to charitable causes in accordance with Colonel Phillips's wishes.
Although no charitable gene foundation has been established, the whereabouts of the money has always been strictly controlled and has not entered the pockets of certain individuals!
However, because of this, the dividends accumulated over the years are very few. Apart from the remittance lists, reasons, and information, there are only about 300 million US dollars left in cash.
It may sound like an astronomical figure, but compared to the entire Stark Group, it is just a drop in the bucket.
In addition, this equity also brings Xia Zhiye thirteen welfare homes named "Phillips".
Although all thirteen welfare homes that were able to operate independently were directly transferred to Xia Zhiye's name, in fact he did not need to do anything for these welfare homes.
With subsidies from the government and donations from all walks of life, these welfare homes have long since established themselves on a firm footing.
Trying to make a profit is certainly impossible, but losing money is also impossible.
The reason why it was handed over to Xia Zhiye was simply because these thirteen welfare homes were all built with the funds obtained from this equity.
Their original owner was Colonel Phillips. After Colonel Phillips' death, they were supervised by the Stark Group and now are in the hands of Xia Zhiye.
To be honest, Xia Zhiye was somewhat touched when he saw so many extras: "This is all from drinking. It's worth the amount of 'cruel punishments' I taught Howard. But why do I need so many welfare homes?"
"It's none of my business."
Tony looked at the scenery outside the window and said without turning his head.
Xia Zhiye sat on the chair and looked at Tony's back. After a long while, he smiled and said, "You've suffered a great loss."
Tony turned around and looked at Xia Zhiye: "Do you have a change of heart?"
"It just took me a little by surprise."
Xia Zhiye shook the contract in his hand: "All products entering the market must have my approval. In other words, if I don't agree, no product can enter the market. The so-called fifty-fifty split will become nonsense!"
Tony didn't say anything, just looked at Xia Zhiye quietly.
Xia Zhiye thought for a moment and said, "Let's do the math. In this matter, you not only have to pay 10% of Stark Group's shares, but you also need to provide me with no less than 50 million in research funds to purchase equipment and raw materials."
Tony didn't say anything, just turned his head back and looked out the window.
He knew the contents of the contract clearly. Xia Zhiye dictated it, he supplemented it, and Xiao Lajiao typed it.
It's written in black and white, very clear.
Of course he also knew what Xia Zhiye was saying now.
"Not only that." Xia Zhiye continued, "Let's go back to the thing I agreed to. After paying so much, the final result is likely that no product will be born. Oh, by the way, I will give you a sample of the 'by-product' in three months. In this way, I can firmly grasp the tens of billions of dividends every year, and I can carry out my research unscrupulously without worrying about funding issues."
Tony turned around and looked at Xia Zhiye: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I thought I was here to discuss business, but I didn't expect I was here to discuss personal relationships."
Xia Zhiye shrugged.
"Business?"
Tony came up to Xia Zhiye, looked at him and said, "You don't know how to talk about business. If you talk seriously, you will get nothing."
"Then what is this?" Xia Zhiye blinked: "Respecting elders?"
"No, this is the insistence of two generations of Stark."
Tony looked at Xia Zhiye with a dark face: "My father thinks these are what you deserve, so I'll give them to you. Well, the reason why I had that night of negotiation with you was mainly because I really liked your crazy expression! It's very interesting! As for whether I can make money from this contract, it doesn't really matter to me."
He pulled a chair over and sat down. "Fifty million is nothing to me. The equipment and raw materials you need are nothing either. As for the 10% of the shares, it never belonged to me. I didn't pay much... but neither did you."
"Wouldn't that be boring?"
Xia Zhiye put his hands on the back of his head, pressed the entire weight of his back on the chair, and looked at the ceiling above his head: "I thought I had become a business wizard, directly negotiating with the top management of Stark Group, how cool."
Tony looked weird: "I thought you should be more furious."
"Why?" Xia Zhiye looked at Tony strangely, and suddenly laughed: "Do you think that I was fooled in this matter, and that my cleverness did not achieve the expected effect, so I should be angry and embarrassed?"
Looking at Tony's gradually stiffening expression, Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "Don't be silly... You are just a child, otherwise why do you think I would agree to give you one of the finished products of my main research? It was originally prepared for you! Don't you know that the Ark reactor has poisoned you?" (To be continued)
