Chapter 196 Lin Guodong falls into the trap

For Zhang Yang, these few days were like dancing on the edge of a knife, but fortunately everything was settled.

Tomorrow, as long as Lin Guodong's money goes through the escrow account and completes the equity transaction with his shell company, he will have the 200 million yuan in funds.

With this money, plus the money he had cheated from Su Rui before, he simply packed up his things and left, going to a small country overseas, and lived a rich and leisurely life for the rest of his life.

A few nights ago, he sent a message to Lin Xiaowan, but the message could not be sent. He must have been deleted as a friend by her.

He was shocked at the time, but he quickly calmed down. Deleting the friend did not necessarily mean that Lin Xiaowan had discovered his identity.

Judging from his contact with Lin Xiaowan, this woman seemed to have a hidden secret, so that many of her behaviors were a bit strange.

Just when he was thinking about whether to disappear, Lam Kwok Tung suddenly called him and said that he was very interested in investing in his Ai project and he hoped to visit the company of their project.

They had met several times before, and for some reason, Lin Guodong was very interested in this.

So Zhang Yang decided to take the risk and let Lam Kwok Tung confirm whether his identity was exposed. If not, he would continue the scam and be ready to flee abroad at any time.

After he had asked some questions, Lin Guodong called Lin Xiaowan, then called him again to discuss further cooperation.

Seeing that his identity was not exposed, Zhang Yang decided to continue his scam, but the goal of more than one billion yuan could not be achieved, so he had to lower the target amount and close the net quickly.

He deliberately pretended that his project had already completed rounds A and B of financing, and that only 10% of the shares could be sold in the round of C financing, with the company's valuation reaching billion yuan.

In other words, these 10% of the shares cost 10 million yuan. Not only that, they are already in the process of negotiating a C round of financing for these 5% of the shares, and they have expressed an intention to invest in % of the shares.

He could only offer 5% of the shares to trade with Lam Kwok Tung for a stake of million.

He said this in order to deliberately create the illusion that the company's valuation was about to increase and its shares were in short supply, forcing Lam Kwok Tung to speed up his decision.

The company valuation given by Zhang Yang far exceeded Lin Guodong's expectations. He simply didn't believe that Zhang Yang, an inconspicuous college student, could create a company with such a high valuation before he even graduated.

However, Zhang Yang quickly explained that this was a company he and several fellow brothers had set up together, and he was only one of the partners, and his shareholding ratio was not the highest.

At the same time, he also took the initiative to invite Lam Kwok Tung to visit their company in G City.

This attitude of wanting to refuse but also to accept made Lin Guodong trust him even more. Coupled with Lin Xiaowan's endorsement of Zhang Yang's character, he no longer had any doubts.

What remains is pure business judgment, the question of whether to invest in this project.

For Lin Guodong, although he is the second son of the prominent Lin family, he also has his own difficulties.

The reason why the Lin family has been able to stand firm in the business world for nearly a hundred years is due to the family's self-discipline. The successors are selected based on their abilities, rather than the fighting and quarreling shown in those melodramatic TV dramas.

He is very capable at work, but he is always inferior to his older brother Lin Guocheng in everything. In the eyes of his father Lin Yichen and several uncles, Lin Guocheng's position as the successor is becoming more and more solid.

However, the Lin Group's business is becoming more conservative and there is nothing he can do to show his talents.

My father is already 63 years old. In a few years he will probably have to retire to take care of his grandchildren. By then the position of successor will be decided and I will no longer have any chance.

So Lin Guodong was very anxious. He needed an opportunity to show his talents, an opportunity that could shock the entire group's top management.

And at the family dinner with his sister that day, the project that Zhang Yang mentioned almost perfectly matched his ideas.

The current economic downturn has caused various industries to develop much less rapidly than in previous years.

In the past two years, only the Ai industry has developed at the fastest speed, and the valuations of many related companies have increased several times in a short period of time.

He is well aware that a large part of this is storytelling, but as long as the investment can be monetized in a timely manner, it will be a huge achievement for him in the company.

With such a gambler's mentality, Lin Guodong came to G City.

In order to make the fake play realistic enough, Zhang Yang booked an entire floor and hired nearly a hundred extras to pretend to be the company's employees.

When Lin Guodong arrived, there were naturally fake financial data, fake user data, fake background, and everything.

To be professional, Lam also brought a data engineer to test the software.

Zhang Yang had naturally anticipated this, and he had already arranged for people to complete the on-site test using a semi-manual and semi-external search method.

After careful testing, the effect is naturally very good.

However, Lam said he still needed to observe the growth of user data for half a month before making a decision.

In fact, it will take some time for him to apply to the company for investment for this project.

But since it was clear that he had made the decision, how could Zhang Yang let the matter drag on any longer?

While the two were chatting, the secretary came in and said that Mr. Wei from Yinshan Capital planned to continue negotiating the financing of the remaining 5% of the shares, and asked Zhang Yang to hurry up.

This invisible pressure finally made Lin Guodong unable to bear it. Even though he could not use the company's money for the time being, he still had his own personal money.

With his personal cash of 100 million plus some collateral, it should be no problem to raise 200 million in a short period of time.

Although he still felt there was a risk, as the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

How can you not take some risks? If you win, not only will you make money, but you will also have a chance to turn the tables in the battle for family succession.

He wanted to win so badly that he agreed to the 5% equity investment on the spot.

After some operations, Zhang Yang's plan finally reached the closing stage.

Just yesterday, Lam Kwok Tung, through his private company, invested 5 million in Zhang Yang's "Vision Technology" in exchange for % of their company's equity.

The investment will be completed through a notarized transaction in a custodial account.

Zhang Yang is now just waiting for the transaction to be completed. Once the money is transferred from the company's account, he will go abroad directly.

As for Suri's court notice, he would not pay any attention to it at all. As long as the court did not force his freedom of action, he would let his lawyer attend on his behalf.

No matter what the court decides, by then he will have gone overseas and changed his name. Who will be able to find him?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang smiled proudly. He was sincerely grateful to that bootlicker Zhang Yang for bringing him the wealth.
