By the time the contract was finalized, it was already a week later.
At that time, only Midsummer Night and Tonny were in the conference room.
The whole process was actually relatively uneventful, but when Midsummer Night suddenly thought of something and added it into the contract, it caused a little bit of controversy.
Other than that, the whole process was carried out in a calm manner.
The only thing that surprised Midsummer Night was the ten percent of Stark Group's shares.
In fact, when the dusty transfer of shares was handed over to Midsummer Night, he was surprised.
He did not expect that after his "death," Howard would make such a decision.
No wonder Tonny was so happy to transfer ten percent of the shares to him.
This kid got something for nothing?!
Well, it was actually too much to say that.
Midsummer Night was not blinded by the huge benefits, and his heart was extremely clear and calm.
The shares were clearly written that it was given to Colonel Phillips, and his children had the right to inherit it!
But was Midsummer Night Colonel Phillips's son?
He wasn't!
Whether it was back then or now, the relationship between Colonel Phillips and him had no legal effect.
Especially now … America did not recognize the existence of instructors at all, let alone the story of a person who had been "dead" for seventy years suddenly resurrected and inherited a large amount of money.
It didn't matter if Howard had given away his shares because of him back then.
But in the case of Colonel Phillips's death and no children, it was normal for the Stark Group to want to take back the shares, but they did not do so.
Whether it was Howard back then or Tonny today, they always retained the uniqueness of the shares.
Just this alone was enough to make Midsummer Night feel emotional.
At the same time, these shares had been dedicated to charity in accordance with Colonel Phillips's last wish.
Although the Genetic Charity Association wasn't established, the money's whereabouts had always been strictly controlled, and it wasn't going into someone else's pocket!
However, it was also because of this that the dividends accumulated over the years were very little. Other than the remittance lists, reasons, and information, there was only about 300 million USD left in cash.
It sounded like an astronomical figure, but for the entire Stark Group, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Other than that, the shares also brought to Midsummer Night thirteen welfare homes named after Phillips.
Although the 13 orphanages were directly transferred to Midsummer Night's name, he didn't actually need to do anything for them.
With the subsidies from the state and donations from all walks of life, these orphanages had already gained a stable foothold.
It was impossible to make a profit, but it was also impossible to make a loss.
The reason why they were handed over to Midsummer Night was because these 13 orphanages were all built with the funds from the shares.
They were originally owned by Colonel Phillips. After Colonel Phillips passed away, they were managed by the Stark Group, and now they were in the hands of Midsummer Night.
To be honest, when he saw so many bonuses, Midsummer Night was a little touched. "This is all from drinking. I didn't teach Howard so many 'cruel punishments' in vain.
But why do I need so many orphanages? "
"It has nothing to do with me."
Tonny looked at the scenery outside the window and said without turning his head.
Midsummer Night sat on the chair and looked at Tonny's back. After a long time, he smiled and said, "You've suffered a big loss."
Tonny turned around and looked at Midsummer Night. "Did you find your conscience?"
"I'm just a little surprised."
Midsummer Night waved the contract in his hand. "All products must enter the market with my approval. In other words, if I don't agree, none of the products can enter the market.
The so-called fifty-fifty will also become a bunch of nonsense! "
Tonny didn't say anything. He just looked at Midsummer Night quietly.
Midsummer Night thought for a moment and said, "Then, let's do the math. Not only do you have to give me 10% of the Stark Group's shares, but you also have to provide me with no less than 50 million in research funds to buy equipment and raw materials."
Tonny didn't say anything. He just turned his head back and looked out the window.
He was clear about the contents of the contract. Midsummer Night dictated it, he supplemented it, and Little Chili printed it.
It was clearly written in black and white.
Of course, he knew what Midsummer Night was talking about.
"That's not all."
Midsummer Night continued, "Let's go back to the matter I agreed to. I've paid so much money, but the end result is that no products are produced.
Oh, right, I'll give you a sample of the 'by-product' in three months.
In this way, I can firmly grasp the dividends of tens of billions of yuan every year, and I can carry out my research unscrupulously without worrying about funding problems. "
Tonny looked back at Midsummer Night. "What are you trying to say?"
"I thought I was here to talk about business. I didn't expect to be here to talk about favors."
Midsummer Night shrugged.
"Business?"
Tonny approached Midsummer Night and looked at him. "You don't know how to talk business. If you talk seriously, you won't get anything."
"Then what is this?" Midsummer Night blinked. "Filial piety to the elders?"
"No, this is the insistence of two generations of Stark."
Tonny looked at Midsummer Night with a dark face. "My father thinks you deserve this, so I'll give it to you.
Well, the reason why I negotiated with you that night was mainly because I really liked that crazy expression of yours!
It was very interesting!
As for whether or not I can make money from this contract, it doesn't really matter to me. "
He pulled a chair over and sat down. "Fifty million is nothing to me. The equipment and raw materials you need are also nothing.
As for the ten percent of shares, it never belonged to me.
I didn't pay much … although you didn't either. "
"Isn't this going to be boring?"
Midsummer Night put his hands behind his head and pressed his entire weight against the chair. He looked at the ceiling above his head. "I thought I'd become a business genius, negotiating directly with the senior management of the Stark Group. How cool."
Tonny had a strange expression on his face. "I thought you'd be even more furious."
"Why?"
Xia Zhi Ye looked at Tony strangely and suddenly laughed out loud. "Do you think that you played me for a fool on this matter and that my little tricks didn't achieve the desired effect, so you should be angry out of humiliation?"
