Victory in Life
Chapter 44
70-71
Not to mention the cost of the server, they had not even been able to afford their own salaries in the past few months.
If they don't get anything in the short term, Terizone could go bankrupt.
Terizone is currently going through a tough time.
Many investors have approached them because of KK, which has the largest number of users in the country. However, they are either greedy in terms of their demands or pessimistic towards Terizone's future development.
In short, they can't agree on anything.
Hudson is eager to get an investment. He even thought about selling KK. The ideal amount is a million dollars, but the only interested boss only offers up to a maximum of 800,000 dollars.
Such disagreements occur because of the 200,000 dollar difference.
It will be a big joke in the future. The boss missed the opportunity to invest in a trillions-dollar company only he was unwilling to pay an additional 200,000 dollars.
"Yes, I intend to invest ten million dollars." Jasper issued a shocking statement in a calm tone.
"Huff! Uhuk!" Logan choked on a mouthful of food and immediately spat it out.
His spit landed on Cameron, who was sitting across from him. However, Cameron doesn't bother chasing Logan for spitting on him either. Eyes widened. "How much did you say?! Ten million dollars?!" He asked in great disbelief.
It felt as if Jasper had just pulled out a royal flush in front of them while all they had was a three-card hand.
*Royal flush and three card refers to the poi game, where the royal flush is the highest card.
Unlike Zaine and the others, Hudson showed no exaggerated response to Jasper's proposal. Instead of excitement, worry took hold of him when he heard about the amount of money Jasper wanted to invest.
Based on Terizone's current net worth, ten million dollars is enough to buy two to three companies with the same net worth. The fact that Jasper was willing to offer such a large amount of investment meant that he really looked up to Terizone. On the other hand, this means that... Hudson's ownership and rights to Terizone will most likely be waived.
This goes against the basic principles of Hudson Moore.
When a company gets an injection of capital from outside, the founders will not be able to develop the company according to their own ideas. Will their ideas still be theirs?
Jasper could immediately tell what Hudson was worried about. He kept talking, "Yes, ten million dollars. It's going to be an injection of funds. But not a full-scale acquisition. I want 51% of the company's shares. You can have the remaining 49% and distribute it among yourself as you please.
"In other words, I don't care how you share among yourself, but I don't want less than 51% of the company's shares."
Hudson laughed crisply. "51% of the shares exceeded the proportion of shares held by the majority shareholders. How is this different from a full-scale acquisition?"
"It's different from a full-scale acquisition because I'm just going to formulate key strategic policies, like finding ways to increase Terizone's profitability, while you will have the final decision about the specifics in the management and operations of the company. I won't intervene."
Jasper put down his spoon even though he had a calm expression on his face, his attitude was domineering and arrogant.
Amazed by Jasper's strong demeanor, Hudson furrowed his brows without saying anything.
"Zaine, what do you think?" Hudson asked as he turned to look at Zaine and the others.
Zaine and the others were very excited.
"What else do we need to say about this? Of course, we will agree to it wholeheartedly!" Cameron said excitedly.
"Mr Laine has already said that she will not intervene in the management of the company. He will also help us achieve profitability. Isn't this what we dream of?"
Jasper laughs. "Persian. Don't worry that the shares you have are few. Except think like this. With a capital injection of ten million dollars, 49% of the shares you have will be worth up to five million dollars. Even if you resell the shares, you will make a huge profit.
"Other than that..."
Jasper paused for a moment. He then stood up and continued to speak with confidence bordering on arrogance.
"In the future, Terizone will be an unbeatable company with a market value of up to trillions of dollars. You will have the largest user base in y, and you will get up to millions in profits every second. You're gonna change the way humans communicate!"

Logan gulped as his gaze burned.
Zaine rubbed her face in disbelief.
Hudson looked at Jasper in shock. If it wasn't for that person's identity, Hudson would have definitely thought that he must have gone mad.
Even Jack was surprised. He knew that Jasper liked Terizone, but he did not expect his judgment to be that high.
Only Jasper, who came from the future, knew very clearly that everything he said would come true.
When he transmigrated, Terizone was worth 460 billion dollars and generated an annual income of 360 Billion oriental dollars. They have more than a billion users of various products worldwide.
Jasper would use ten million to buy a 51% stake in the company, essentially swapping a lump of stone for a golden egg.
More important is the future social media ecosystem that can be created by relying on a terrible number of user groups.
That's Jasper's main goal, to increase traffic with funds and use that traffic to control the ecosystem so that the ecosystem can rule!
What was Hudson thinking at the time?
Hudson didn't even think too much about the promising future as Jasper talked about, as he paid more attention to other things.
"You're saying you've found a way to make a profit?"
Hudson felt that the future of a trillion dollars and the rebuilding of human communication became superficial to compare.
Now when Terizone can't even afford the salaries of its founders, nothing is more important than how to make a profit.
The problem of how to make a profit from the internet is something that the whole world, let alone the country, has not yet solved.
His words resuscitated everyone back to reality as they stared at Jasper with burning gazes.
"Sign the contract and I'll tell you." Jasper showed his PDA Palm.
He was not a fool, because the history from his past life had proven that such a method of gaining profit made sense. That's how Terizone came back to life.
Still, he would be the one to face the loss if he told them and they retracted their remarks.
"Good! We agree! But the part where we'll profit and your promise not to manage the company's day-to-day business should be written in the contract as well." Hudson clenched his jaw.
"of course. When I became a stock winner, solving your problem of how to make a profit was no different than helping yourself. I won't be that cool. As for managing the company's business, I don't have that much time."
"However, Jack will help build your company structure from scratch. He will have other tasks to do when JW Capital starts to have more business. What do you think?"
Hudson is very grateful to have a professional manager like Jack helping them.
Now that they had agreed, Hudson called Daniel, the last founder in charge of the legal side of the business, to draft the contract.
Daniel rushed to the company. He was stunned when he heard Jasper's identity. He whispered to Hudson and the others when he was told that Jasper would add ten million of their capital. After that, he happily left to make a pact.
Jasper skimmed the deal and distributed it with Jack before they changed two minor aspects to guarantee that they would benefit more. The two sides then signed and affixed the seal of agreement before it was effective immediately.
"The equity transfer in the Bureau of Industry and Trade tomorrow After Work and my funds will be credited to your account." Jasper handed Jack the contract and a large stone was finally lifted from his chest.
Meanwhile, Hudson and the others stared at Jasper with a beam of light in their eyes.
Everyone was waiting to hear about the method to gain an advantage.
Jasper laughed out loud.
As far as everyone is concerned, how Terizone should make a profit is an unsolved problem.
Here, Jasper is well aware that there are too many ways to make money.
