Chapter 276: Financial Freedom by Accident

In fact, there is no question of who wins or loses, and the proposal thrown by the Ark is absolutely win-win for him and Yumeiko.

Otherwise, Carodite would not have nodded so easily.

But after all, it's a $400 million business.

Even for an international chemical giant like Youmeiko, this is by no means a small number, especially in the difficult conditions under which the Ark proposes a "lump sum payment by the end of the year".

After signing the letter of intent to cooperate, in order to persuade the board of directors in a hurry, Carodite could not even take care of dinner. She could only open a bottle of champagne and an ark toast, then made a phone call and left the hotel in a hurry.

In accordance with his commitment to the Ark, tonight he will fly back to his headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, to convince the Board to agree to the patent cooperation agreement and to try to sign the contract by the end of the year.

As to whether or not it can be done, Carodite can only say what she does.

After all, for a listed company, transactions involving billions of dollars are not random decisions.

Needless to say, whether or not the contract is eventually negotiated, the relevant information must be disclosed in advance on the securities market from the moment the letter of intent is signed.

The phone call Carodite just made was to the secretary of the board.

After enjoying the rest of the dinner quietly, the ark got up and left the hotel lobby, stood in the elevator and went straight back to the room where it was staying.

His footsteps were light along the way, just like his mood.

Until the door behind me closed, the ark woke up and realized what a terrible thing it had just done.

“$400 million…”

Sitting by the bed, looking at the letter of intent in hand, feeling the accelerating heartbeat, the mood of the ark is long and difficult to recover.

Unexpecting only one night of kung fu, he made the class jump from middle class to financial freedom.

When he was a kid, he had a daydream of winning five million lottery tickets, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions... To be honest, he never even dreamed about it.

Buy something.

Another assistant?

Buy Em an override?

Let Daddy buy two sets for himself in Beijing?

Or...

A neck first?

Fortunately, reason prevails.

After taking out the phone's ark, he eventually restrained the urge to “share the joy” with his fans and stuffed the phone back in his pocket.

It's about money, but keep a low profile.

Taking a deep breath, the ark silently missed a few normal hearts, got up and took a shower, and calmed the boiling brain a little.

As for the question of "what's good with all this money", he intends to keep it until after the contract is signed...

After washing, lie flat on the bed.

I thought I could fall asleep soon after a busy day, so I rolled over to the second half of the night, and the ark didn't feel any trouble.

I don't know when it started, but there was a little morning sickness outside the window.

He didn't realize he hadn't slept all night until the phone rang.

In fact, what the Ark does not know is that he is not the only one who stays up all night.

A lot of people stayed with him all night.

As for the reasons, it goes back a few hours.

Just in the early hours of Washington time, Yumeko GmbH in Brussels, Belgium, suddenly revealed a $400 million patent cooperation program on its official website.

It is this news that has disrupted the dreams of many investors.

Although the media has reported on more than one occasion the emergence of "significant research results” on lithium anode materials, accompanied by various blind headings, so far none of the chemical companies has really begun to industrialize the production of lithium anode materials.

This time, Yumeiko suddenly invested heavily in patenting lithium anode materials.

Sensitive capital markets finally smelled the wind blowing.

The day seemed to finally come.

……

As the sun rose the next day, the MRS was still going on, and everything in the venue seemed to be the same as yesterday, except for the overnight ark, which was still snoring and sleeping.

However, the entire lithium battery-related plate across Wall Street from Boston, just over a hundred kilometres away, is boiling like a carnival.

Nearly all companies involved in the lithium battery industry experienced varying degrees of price increases less than half an hour after opening.

This flourish not only stays in lithium battery-related industries, but even feeds back into the futures market for lithium materials.

After all, the Ark underestimated the market's enthusiasm for lithium batteries and the influence of its partners.

When it comes to market value and reputation, companies like Yumeiko may not be as good as Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, BYD, or “customers of their own customers" - tech companies with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of mobile phones, new energy vehicles, etc.

But in terms of industry influence, these centuries-old chemical giants are nothing less than them.

And the reason is simple.

Five years can create a Tesla, 10 years can rise an Apple or Microsoft. But if technology doesn't keep pace with the times, maybe in less than a decade they'll be replaced by new high-tech companies.

However, for enterprises that are upstream in the industrial chain, their prospects, while lacking imagination space, are relatively minimal in terms of the risks they share.

After all, no matter what the popular products on the market, the demand for chemical raw materials will always exist.

But no matter how the capital market reacts, these things have nothing to do with the ark for the time being.

At least now he, for the time being, doesn't have that extra energy to focus on these.

Sleeping until the afternoon, the ark stretched out a lazy waist, picked up the phone and looked at the time, but the time didn't look, but saw a full screen of missed calls.

Some of them were from Professor Chirik, some from the country, and some were not answered.

Another phone call came back with a headache from which phone call to start.

By subconsciously pressing the connection key, the ark moved the phone to the ear.

“Hello?”

“It's me.”

When he heard the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, the ark stunned slightly and asked in an uncertain tone.

“Professor Lee? ”

There was a nice laugh coming from across the phone.

“Ha ha, looks like you haven't forgotten me. ”

And the ark laughed, and I was embarrassed to say, "How could I forget this? By the way, did you change your number? ”

As for Professor Li, Ark will naturally not forget, if this old gentleman hadn't helped, his system task would not have been successfully completed. It was just a strange number, so he didn't respond for a moment and a half.

Professor Li smiled and said: "I'm not changing the number. I'm on a business trip, using a temporary number. ”

“Business trip?” The look on the face of the ark can't help but be a little odd, "aren't you in Boston? ”

“Not only in Boston, I listened to your debriefing yesterday, it was amazing," Professor Li said with emotion, and finally didn't forget to say, “How was it? Did you have a good night's rest today? ”

The ark coughed softly: "What's up? I fell asleep as soon as I got back yesterday... just didn't sleep. By the way, where are you? ”

Professor Li smiled and said: "I'm sitting downstairs in the lobby of the hotel. Just in time for dinner. If you have time, we'll have dinner together. If you haven't slept enough, we'll meet again sometime. ”

The Ark laughed and said, "How can there be no time? I'll be right down. ”
