Chapter 1653: Chapter 1653
President He seized the opportunity to pitch his product. He had practiced for a long time, but he was still a bit nervous, and his words came out dry. He wanted to make his pitch more exciting but couldn’t manage it.
Yang Ping nodded slightly. He was very familiar with these medical instruments and equipment, including their recent developments. He was quite knowledgeable about them.
This artificial heart is indeed no worse than international counterparts, and in many aspects, it even surpasses them.
"President He, how about this? I’ll arrange for President Huang from Ruixing to meet you, and you can introduce the product to him."
Ruixing not only develops its own medical devices but also looks for innovative talents to invest in them, helping them grow. Yang Ping thought this product was indeed good. Ruixing Investment has a characteristic with small companies: they don’t acquire or interfere; they just invest money or offer management guidance. Many small companies especially like Ruixing Investment because, after the investment, the company still belongs to you, and you’re still in charge; you just have to share profits with Ruixing.
President Huang, Huang Jiacai?
President He never expected Professor Yang to introduce him to President Huang. This was something he didn’t even dare to dream about. What kind of company is Ruixing? It is now a giant in the medical industry, with top-notch research and funding capabilities domestically and internationally.
Before, Ruixing had twice stood up to international giants, not only remaining undefeated but growing stronger. Now, sitting down with President Huang for a talk, President He was yet to be prepared.
"Are you staying here today?" Yang Ping asked.
President He immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes! I’m available 24/7. We’re staying at Sanbo Hotel."
"Alright, President Huang will come over later. I’ll have him find you." Yang Ping had other matters to attend to and left Xia Shu to look at the samples.
Two hours later, Huang Jiacai arrived at Sanbo Hotel with his secretary and Chen Zhi, knocking on President He’s door.
His idol standing in front of him made President He stutter a bit. This was a legendary figure in the medical industry. Huang Jiacai extended his hand, "Hello, I’m Huang Jiacai from Ruixing. Professor Yang just called me."
"President Huang, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m He Ziyun from Xinbao..." President He stood at the door, unsure of what to say next.
"Shall we go inside and chat?" Huang Jiacai suggested.
Right, how could he keep President Huang and his team at the door?
"Quick, please come in," President He said.
President He ushered Huang Jiacai and the others into the room. The hotel room was simple, with just a sofa and a few chairs.
"Make tea, make tea!" President He called out, but where was the tea? This was Sanbo Hotel, not a luxury five-star hotel.
"No need, we’ll just have some bottled water," Huang Jiacai said as he sat down.
"This is our company’s chief engineer, Chen Zhi, and this is Miss Huang Jiahui from our company," introduced Huang Jiacai.
President He also introduced his team members.
Huang Jiacai said, "We’re here to take a look at your artificial heart." This content belongs to novel✶fire.net
President He immediately took out the materials and sample, giving a detailed explanation along with the physical item and documents. Everyone was an expert, especially Chen Zhi, the engineer. As soon as he heard it, he understood whether the product was viable and competitive; he could recognize its potential at a glance.
"Your product has excellent technology, and can be considered outstanding among similar products. It has innovations in many aspects but will struggle with future iterations due to the increasing financial demands of subsequent updates," Chen Zhi said.
President He was worried about this. He’d seen countless investors, no less than a hundred, and after listening to their presentation, they would just shake their heads, mainly because it couldn’t quickly generate profit and faced competition from international similar products.
"Yes, that’s our difficulty, a shortage of funds. To be honest, we’re meeting investors every day, but no one is willing to invest. We’ve invested a lot of money and energy into this generation of the product. Without more investment, we’re afraid we can’t continue operating," President He admitted.
"Would it be okay if we invested?" Huang Jiacai got straight to the point.
President He and his team members looked at each other in disbelief. Could this be a dream? It didn’t feel real.
"President Huang, are you---serious?" President He asked, still doubtful.
Huang Jiacai nodded, "Professor Yang has seen your product and highly appreciates your spirit of innovation, so he asked me to talk to you. After just looking at your product, we think it has great potential, so we are willing to invest. You tell me, how much do you need now?"
President He started calculating in his mind. Two million would be quite sufficient; if not, even ten million could support them for a while. Asking too much might seem overconfident, like a lion opening its mouth wide.
Twenty million? Fifteen million? Ten million, just to not scare them off. A small company like yours has only one product.
President He mustered up the courage to say, "To be honest, we... need fifty million."
"Fifty million?" Huang Jiacai showed a slightly incredulous expression.
President He immediately regretted it, thinking he should have said something like five million to pull in some investment to stay afloat for a bit. Now it seemed like it would fall through; a small company asking for ten million right away.
"I’ll give you a billion. Can you expand your research team, improve the product further, and completely surpass similar products? You currently need to focus on this one product," Huang Jiacai said.
A billion? They had met over a hundred investors and couldn’t raise even a hundred million, and now President Huang was offering a billion!
President He couldn’t believe it, "A billion?"
"That’s right, I’ll firstly invest a billion, and if the development goes well, we can add another billion in subsequent rounds. As for how many shares you’ll give us, that’s up to you. We don’t have strict demands, and our shares are just for dividends. We don’t participate in the company’s decisions or management, meaning we just invest money without interfering in your operations. Of course, necessary financial supervision is required to ensure the security of the investment," Huang Jiacai explained.
A billion, with more to come, President He almost fell to his knees. What kind of immense fortune was this? Today, because of a heart surgery, they came to Sanbo Hospital and met Professor Yang, and in just a few hours, they secured a billion-dollar investment.
"What’s wrong, is it too little? I said, as long as you keep up the development, we’ll continue to add more," Huang Jiacai said, seeing that he hadn’t responded for a while.
President He immediately waved his hands, "No, no, no, we just haven’t come to our senses yet. President Huang, to be honest, we’ve met over a hundred investors trying to get investments, and we didn’t get a penny. Everyone thinks we’ve spent so much without any profit, without much hope. Our company is about to miss payroll, and I’ve been thinking about money non-stop, my hair turning white overnight. Now you’re saying you’ll give us a billion; we thought we were dreaming, afraid that when we wake up, everything will be gone."
"The details of the contract, you’ll discuss with Miss Huang Jiahui later. The initial investment is a billion; once the contract is signed, the funds will be in place within twenty hours. Would you prefer coming to our company or us to your company?"
"Either would be fine, either would be fine!"
The bottle cap of the water bottle hadn’t even been opened, and this substantial investment was settled. Huang Jiacai stood up, and Huang Jiahui exchanged contact information with them and set a time for the formal signing.
After Huang Jiacai left, President He said to the engineer, "Slap me!"
"President He, don’t do that," the engineer hesitated to comply.
With a loud slap, President He slapped himself without hesitation, making a very loud sound.
"Tell me, isn’t this a dream? This isn’t a dream, is it?"
President He immediately waved his hands, "No, no, no, we just haven’t come to our senses yet. President Huang, to be honest, we’ve met over a hundred investors trying to get investments, and we didn’t get a penny. Everyone thinks we’ve spent so much without any profit, without much hope. Our company is about to miss payroll, and I’ve been thinking about money non-stop, my hair turning white overnight.

"President He, don’t do that," the engineer hesitated to comply.

"Tell me, isn’t this a dream? This isn’t a dream, is it?"
