Chapter 973 The world is not worth it
A Chinese restaurant.

Ye Feng, Chen Huang and others opened a private room. As for the dishes, they asked the boss to serve them casually. Chen Huang took a bottle of coconut juice and took a sip. He said to Ye Feng, Wang Xin and others: "I thought you had already eaten it. It made me and Ryoko very hungry."

"I've eaten it before. I'm not used to Western food. And with so many senior officials looking at me, I can't chew meat in front of them, right?"

This is the United States. Ye Feng, Zach and some other company executives were eating in the cafeteria. Naturally, they ate Western food. Although there were steaks and the like, Ye Feng was too embarrassed to eat only steak and nothing else, so Ye Feng ate very little.

Chen Huang suddenly realized: "That's true. Geniuses like you love to pretend. With so many subordinates staring at you, you have to be careful."

"Fuck off."

Ye Feng said angrily, and then said expectantly: "I haven't eaten rice from yesterday to today. I don't know how the food in this Chinese restaurant is."

Chen Huang said funnyly: "Then you will be disappointed."

"How do you say that?" Ye Feng asked in surprise.

Wang Xin said with a smile: "Chinese restaurants abroad have two characteristics. The first is that they are expensive, and the second is that they are unpalatable."

Ye Feng said in confusion: "Is it that exaggerated? I can understand it. After all, this is a foreign country, but is it too unpalatable? I think Chinese food is quite simple."

"That's not the reason."

Li Liang, who grew up in the local area, explained: "But few people make it authentically, and foreigners don't like spicy food very much, so the taste is sweeter, and even tomato sauce and cheese are added. If you think of a Sichuan dish, without adding Spicy, is that still interesting?”

"That's true." Ye Feng suddenly realized.

Li Liang said: "Brother Feng, if you want to eat authentic Chinese food, go back to Chinatown. The Chinese restaurants in Chinatown taste quite authentic, including Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine. The bosses hire chefs from China at high prices."

Soon, the food came.

In fact, the cooking of the vegetables was just so-so, and Ye Feng could still eat it, but the rice gave Ye Feng a real headache. If you call it dry, it is a bit soft, and if you call it porridge, it is a bit dry.

In the end, Ye Feng ate it with tomato and egg soup. Tomato and egg soup was his most satisfying dish. Ye Feng liked this dish very much in his previous life, mainly because it was cheap.

Chen Huang ate a little and stopped eating. He asked Xu Liang for a cigarette, puffed away the smoke, and then asked Ye Feng: "How was your discussion with Zach? All the board members should be here, right?"

"It's all there."

Ye Feng said to Chen Huang: "The specific details have been discussed. I will register a company and invest 4 million US dollars in the form of company shares. I will hold 40% of the shares of fcaebook. I will serve as a shareholder supervisor, but I will not participate. Regarding the company’s specific operations, and if the fcaebook board of directors needs it in the future, I must unconditionally agree to fcaebook’s repurchase of 20% of my shares at the current stock price.”

"Unconditionally agree to fcaebook's repurchase of 20% of your shares?"

Chen Huang frowned: "Why haven't I heard you say that before?"

"On the spur of the moment."

Ye Feng also asked Xu Liang for a cigarette, lit it, took a puff and exhaled the smoke, then looked at Chen Huang and said: "I just think that if Zach makes fcaebook big one day, I will hold 40% of the shares." It may be a little too eye-catching, and then I provide them with the idea and escape route of repurchase. If they are willing to repurchase, it means that the company’s value has increased, so no matter what, I will not lose money on the whole.”

Xu Liang suddenly asked: "What if the company just goes public and they want to buy back your shares?"

"That won't happen."

Ye Feng smiled and said to Xu Liang: "I still have 20% of the shares that I have the right to dispose of independently. I am also a major shareholder on the board of directors, and the company does not belong to one person. I will not take such a big risk to offend me." Yes, in other words, even if my 20% equity is repurchased, I still have the remaining 20% ​​equity, do you understand?"

Xu Liang nodded thoughtfully.Chen Huang suddenly said: "Your idea is not stupid. Selling 20% ​​of the shares will put it in your personal pocket. The 20% of the shares repurchased by the company will also appreciate invisibly the value of the shares in your hand."

"I'm a little confused by what you said."

Ye Feng was a little dazed by Chen Huang, and then said: "I actually didn't think about it that much. The main idea was to promote this investment case and leave some buffer space for myself and Zach. It's just an outside investment." The investor, who is still a foreigner, is too strong and will always push other shareholders to oppose me, which is a bit uneconomical."

"That's right. You have no intention of fighting for power anyway."

Chen Huang nodded and then asked: "When can the investment project be confirmed?"

"That depends on our legal manager."

Ye Feng looked at Chen Xiao and said, "The equity contract is up to you. I don't know much about contracts. I still need a professional like you to do it."

"I will confirm the corresponding terms of the equity change contract with the other party's legal affairs as soon as possible." Chen Xiao raised his head and said.

Ye Feng asked curiously: "I am a foreigner holding shares in fcaebook. Is the procedure complicated?"

"It's not very complicated."

Chen Xiao said: "You hold shares directly in a company registered in the United States, so it will be simpler, and the proportion of shares you want to hold is less than 50%, so there will be no unnecessary problems. Generally speaking, foreign investment For stocks, especially financial or monopoly companies, the state prohibits foreign ownership of more than 50%. As for the specifics, I will find a lawyer who is familiar with local laws to confirm with me in the next two days."

"That's good."

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Many things have not been confirmed yet, and there will still be some unsettling factors. The ancestors said that it is safe to settle down, and this sentence is still very reasonable.

After dinner.

Ye Feng and others were not in a hurry to return to San Francisco. Instead, a group of six people and two cars drove casually along the country road. Ye Feng also had a habit of driving wherever there was a remote place.

There are pastoral-style houses on the roadside. Some people are using weeders to weed, and some are planting vegetables.

Driving on such a road, there is an indescribable sense of comfort. This is a feeling that is difficult to find in China. I look at the leisurely figures and smiling faces of foreigners on the roadside.

Even Ye Feng had to admit that Xin Xiaowan was right when he said that the smiling faces of foreigners were indeed somewhat different from those in China. They were free, heartfelt, and stress-free smiles.

People in China can also smile, but most of the time, their faces are like mechanical smiles. Each face is so similar, whether they are smiling or not.

Like a soulless robot.

They have to make money to support their families, make money to spend money, and make money to buy a house and a car. Even if they buy a house, they will have a 30-year mortgage. Most people who buy a house are after 30, right?

The mortgage is for 30 years, how old are they?
It is generally expected that by the time you reach your 60s, or even your 70s, the best years of your life have basically passed, and the wick is about to burn out.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little sad. There is only one life left.

"This world is really not worth it."

On the way back, Ye Feng looked at the sunset in the sky in the distance and whispered to himself.
