The valuation of 800 million is one figure higher than the highest intention offer received so far. In Li Mu's eyes, Xu Jiaming's offer is quite generous.
However, whether Li Mu takes the money from Mingcheng Capital mainly depends on Chen Ze’s attitude. If Chen Ze is willing to take a stake, everything will be easy to negotiate. Judging from Chen Ze’s power as a senior official at the ministry level, he has Ability to protect Makino Technology for a period of time.
But having said that, after Li Mu has known Chen Ze for a while, he has gained a certain understanding of Chen Ze's character and temper. When getting along with this person, he cannot take the initiative to lower his status. Otherwise, if the two people are not even in the same mentality, he will It was impossible to treat himself as one of his own, so Li Mu established a principle: the shares given to Chen Ze could not be given as gifts, as they would change their taste once they were given away.
If Li Mu gives him a few points of shares and he accepts it, he will definitely protect Makino Technology in the future, but he will never be able to look at him as a friend or get along with him as a friend in front of him. .
Regarding the quotation given by Xu Jiaming, Li Mu nodded noncommittally and asked him: "By the way, what has Lao Chen been busy with recently?"
Xu Jiaming knew that he was asking about Chen Ze, so he said: "He contacted me once two days ago. He wants to open a go-kart racing track in the east of Yanjing. Their old man is not willing to do it because he thinks he is not doing his job properly."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Is it convenient for Lao Chen to invest in this area now?"
Xu Jiaming nodded and said: "Brother Ze, although his father is in a high position, his mother owns three listed companies and their backgrounds are relatively upright. If he invests ten or twenty million to build a go-kart park, it is usually not possible." If there is any problem, his mother is worth at least ten digits, this amount of money is nothing, but the old man does not agree, so he can only go to Chencang secretly, hoping that I will come forward to handle it for him. "
Li Mu smiled and asked, "Why does he suddenly want to build a go-kart park? Is that profitable?"
Xu Jiaming said: "It shouldn't make any money. He seems to want to set up a training base and form a team of his own."
Li Mu frowned, thought about it in his mind, and said, "For this kind of thing, the cost of site construction is very high, and the future maintenance costs are also a long-term expense. It is easy to start, but it may become more troublesome as you go forward."
"Yeah." Xu Jiaming shrugged: "That's what I advised him, but he said that he only has a hobby. He wants to start from karting, cultivate a professional team, and be able to compete in some foreign competitions in the future. His biggest dream is actually I want to cultivate a Chinese F1 driver."
Li Mu sighed: "I didn't expect that Old Chen is still an idealistic person."
Xu Jiaming smiled and said: "You'd better take the time to persuade him. I think this kind of thing is really unreliable. Not to mention the investment is too big, and the return is basically impossible. But he didn't listen to my advice. After all, I can lose money more than him." .”
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "No one else can persuade me about this kind of thing. Let me talk to him first if I have a chance. Anyway, this kind of thing can't be solved in a day or two."
Xu Jiaming nodded and couldn't help but said: "Let's get back to our business. What do you think of the 80 million offer?"
Li Mu said: "There is no problem with the offer, but since we are quite familiar with each other, I have to say something up front. I welcome the infusion of Mingcheng Capital, but I do not guarantee any ancillary rights. Starting from the C round, I plan to take multinational capital for Prepare to be listed in Hong Kong or the United States in the future."
Xu Jiaming laughed at himself and said: "You also know my situation. There are too many brothers and sisters of the same generation in the family, so the older generation created such a competition to test who is stronger among the younger generations. I am the one who Cheng Capital has not been with us for long, and we have lost half of the money given by my family. It is the last year, and I need a project to save my life. So after I entered the B round, I will no longer hold any additional shares until the competition among my peers at home is over. , if you need my shares to ensure your right to speak, I can give all the shares to your name and let you hold them on your behalf."
After Xu Jiaming said this, Li Mu stopped talking and said immediately: "Come to Makino Technology next Monday and I will sign a contract with you."
Xu Jiaming's face was full of excitement and he blurted out: "After the contract is signed, the money will be received immediately!"
Li Mu nodded and said: "By the way, help me talk to Lao Chen later and ask him if he is interested in participating in some stocks with me. But don't ask too obviously. See if he has any intention."
Xu Jiaming was slightly surprised, then nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll help you find out what he's talking about later."
Li Mu said: "If Lao Chen is willing to come in, the valuation I give him may be much lower than the valuation given to Mingcheng Capital. You don't have any objections then."
Xu Jiaming smiled and said: "No, I understand. I will ask him out to chat on the weekend."
…
In the blink of an eye, it's Saturday. Su Yingxue has been setting makeup and rehearsing for tonight's party since yesterday. She has already helped Li Mu to sign up for a solo singing program. Originally, the teacher of the party preparation team still disagreed with this kind of temporary stop-in, but As soon as he heard that Li Mu had signed up for the program, he immediately gave the green light. There was nothing he could do. This guy's status in the National People's Congress was much higher than that of any other teacher. Ordinary people couldn't afford to mess with him.
Su Yingxue called yesterday and asked Li Mu if he wanted to attend the rehearsal. Li Mu didn't agree. He had already chosen the song, but he didn't want to sing it during the rehearsal. Since it was a song for Su Yingxue, he wanted to keep the mystery until Last minute.
So on the program list released on Saturday, Li Mu's program was ranked eighth, and the performance time was around 8:30. However, other programs had names, but Li Mu's program only had six words; " Guitar playing and singing—Li Mu.”
The news that Li Mu was going to perform at the party spread all over the school. There was no way. Li Mu's influence in the National People's Congress was too great. He had a successful career at a young age, and he was good-looking. In the eyes of girls, he had a comprehensive The ratings are much better than those boys who have no good looks. Although he is not the most handsome in Renmin University, he is definitely the most popular among girls in Renmin University.
Several buddies in the dormitory heard about Li Mu signing up for the performance, and they all came to inquire. They wanted to know why Li Mu signed up for the performance quietly, and there was no song title on the program list. The brothers were very curious. What song is he going to sing
Li Mu decided to keep this song secret to the end, so even if five people came to ask him what he wanted to sing, Li Mu would not be moved at all and answered: "You will know when the time comes."
Everyone was depressed for a while, and Xue Jianfeng sarcastically said to Li Mu: "You just have to be sullen. Is it because Su Yingxue is the host that you signed up for the show?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
Li Yawei said: "Do you still have to think about it? It must be so. I guess Brother Mu wants to sing a song to express his love to others."
Xue Jianfeng sang with him, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Really? Then tell me, with a poet like Li Mu, what song would he choose to sing to express his love to Su Yingxue?"
Li Yawei smiled and said: "I think with Brother Mu's temperament, he should choose the song "Big Sedan" by Huofeng."
After saying that, Li Yawei also sang a few lines: "The smile in my mouth is yo ah yo ah yo, and the beauty in my heart is rang ah ah ah ah... If you think about it, that picture must be so interesting!"
Everyone in the dormitory laughed, and Xue Jianfeng said to Li Mu: "Li Mu, if you sing this song to confess your love to Su Yingxue, the duck meat around your mouth will probably turn into a duck and fly away."
Li Mu laughed and scolded: "Can you stop talking nonsense? I really want to know what song I will sing tonight. You will know if you go to the venue and listen to it." After that, Li Mu reminded: "You all have to come to support me then. ah!"
Sun Jian said: "I must go. The class teacher gave the order yesterday. Before the party starts tonight, the names will be called, and credits will be deducted for those who don't go. The school attaches great importance to this kind of whole-school performance. The principal has to go on stage to speak. Who dares to escape? .”
Li Mu shook his head helplessly. He didn't know if these brats would make trouble for him at night. He wanted to remind him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. It might be fine if he didn't remind him, but if he did, they might make trouble instead.
…
The New Year's Day Party is held in the main stadium of the National People's Congress. According to senior students, the New Year's Day Party is the only school-wide performance in the entire school year, and the school attaches great importance to it. Every year, it allocates funds to prepare for this party and specially invites people from the society. The hardware level of a professional execution company for setting up stages and sound equipment is no different from a singer's concert with tens of thousands of people, or even higher than their standards.
The tradition of the National People's Congress's New Year's Day Party has lasted for more than 20 years. With the development of the times, each year's New Year's Day Party is more elaborate and grander than the previous year.

Attention, every New Year's Day, alumni provide special sponsorship to the school to help the school organize the New Year's Day party better.
The party started at seven o'clock in the evening. Li Mu arrived at the stadium an hour early. Many students had already come to watch the fun. The stage and lighting had been set up. The scale was no worse than those concerts held at the Workers' Stadium. , Li Mu carried the guitar case and wanted to send the guitar to the backstage first, but the security guard at the door refused to let him in because Li Mu did not have an actor's card.
Li Mu had no choice but to call Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue, who was anxiously talking to other hosts, ran out after receiving a call from Li Mu.
Su Yingxue was wearing a dignified and elegant black dress. Li Mu was stunned as soon as she appeared. The dress on her body seemed to be tailor-made for her. Even with a down jacket draped over her upper body, the style of the painting did not match. It was a tune, but it still amazed Li Mu.
