Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 654

Chen Dali, Lin Xiaoyun, and Li Bo Kai were all independent directors because they didn't hold any positions within Blue Dream Company, nor did they have any significant business dealings with it.

"Brother Huang, Su Ya, what about the global patents for the Graphene battery? You're handling it? No problems, right?" Luofeng asked for clarification.

"We started dealing with that a long time ago. You little rascal, you're something else! You actually valued it at a trillion? And you made them believe you?" Huang Qiyang complained.

Luofeng said, "Alright, alright, so I'm 'toxic'. In that case, let me ask you this: based on the trillion-dollar valuation, if I were to acquire the equity you hold now, would you be willing to sell?"

"Do you even have that much money?" Su Ya questioned sharply.

"Don't worry about whether I have it or not. Just answer me first," Luofeng countered.

Su Ya remained silent. Huang Qiyang didn't speak either.

That's more like it, Luofeng thought. At the current trillion-dollar valuation, if I offered them money for their shares, they wouldn't sell? Who wouldn't grasp the future prospects of this company then? If they weren't optimistic, only a fool would refuse to sell their equity when offered cash.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, at a barbecue shop diagonally across from Cloud View Apartments, Luofeng saw the famed CEO of Hua Wei, Mr. Xu Jun.

Mr. Xu Jun had arranged the meeting with Luofeng through Lin Xiaoyun's family connections.

"Hello, Mr. Luo," Xu Jun said politely.

Luofeng shook his hand first and then joked, "I used to only see Boss Xu at phone launches. Now I finally get to meet you in person. It's an honor."

Politely, Xu Jun said, "The honor is mine to meet the famous Boss Luo."

Luofeng handed over a folder of documents directly. Getting straight to the point, he said, "Boss Xu, here are the documents and a sample. If you're interested, how about trying out this battery in your Huawei Phones to see how the battery life performs?"

Xu Jun didn't stand on ceremony, as this was precisely his intention. Taking the sample, he immediately began to install it.

"Then thank you, Boss Luo. I'll give it a try first."

Lin Xiaoyun chimed in from the side, "Brother Feng, isn't your lady coming for supper?"

"Qin Rubing said she's gained weight, so late-night snacks are completely off the table for her. She's probably dancing or doing yoga right now," Luofeng explained. "As for Duanmu Yunji, she has an international competition coming up, so she's busy again."

"By the way, didn't you guys mention buying a private plane before?" Luofeng suddenly asked.

"....." Lin Xiaoyun was speechless. Chen Dali also looked at Luofeng, equally lost for words. After all, they had invested all their money; how could there be any left for a private plane?

"Damn it," Li Bo Kai interjected. "Brother Feng, are you buying a private plane?"

Typical Li Bo Kai, deflecting it straight to Luofeng.

"Hahaha, you little rascal." Luofeng openly admitted, "Correct. As I was just saying, Duanmu Yunji has international competitions. To make it easier for her to attend, I plan to buy a private plane. It'll normally be kept in Capital City. When she needs to travel, I'll arrange the flights. Of course, having a private plane would also make my own travel a bit more convenient."

"The same Boeing 787 as Google's founders?" Li Bo Kai exclaimed. "That's incredibly expensive, you know! I remember it's about 200 million, and that's US dollars, right?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"..." Luofeng shot Chen Dali a death glare.

Li Bo Kai quickly did the math. "Two hundred million US dollars is roughly 1.4 billion RMB or a bit more. And that's not even counting yearly maintenance, airport leasing, takeoff fees, and so on. That alone would likely run into the tens of millions."

Maintaining a private plane is no small feat. Without serious money, it's simply out of reach.

"I've calculated my remaining funds and decided I'll just get a helicopter to play around with. As for a large private jet like a Boeing, I have to admit, that's beyond my league," Li Bo Kai sighed.

Lin Xiaoyun chimed in, "Right now, I just want to buy a new car. My cousin is about to snatch away my second-hand Carrera. My life is so hard."

"You think that's bad?" Chen Dali said. "Do you know how many siblings I have? They're all expecting a Porsche 911 each! I'm the one who's really struggling."

After all, Luofeng had made it clear: don't get too excited about the 10 billion in profit. It needed to be invested in the next venture, which was now Blue Future Company.

With each of them having invested 10 billion, the funds they currently held amounted to only 2.2 billion.

Although Luofeng had made a substantial profit from international gold, he actually had very little liquid capital. He had currently invested 10 billion into Blue Future and also needed to set aside 50 billion for the chip industry supply chain. The funds he could actually use were limited to just 3.33 billion.

He had been bracing for a major expense to buy a private plane, but now a mission had arrived? Offering a discount? For completing a meaningful task? Luofeng had undertaken such missions many times before; he knew the drill.

Meanwhile, Xu Jun, who was testing the phone off to the side, listened to Luofeng and his group's conversation, growing increasingly astounded. They're already talking about private planes? So young, yet so accomplished and utterly confident.
