Chapter 716: Mutually Fulfilling
After the agreement was made,
Richard continued, "Regarding the return of your friend to the country, I'll arrange a private jet to take them back tomorrow morning. As for the specific time, I need to see when the application for the flight plan is scheduled for departure. As for joining forces against the Brook Family, we still need to properly discuss how we're going to do that."
Xu Yang said, "Of course, we can set a time to meet and discuss, to come up with a plan that everyone feels is foolproof before carrying it out."
Richard said, "Okay, let's tentatively set it for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, at 3 pm, in the Tree of the World Café. It's very secluded and safe there."
Xu Yang replied, "Alright, I'll have someone contact both the Carson Family and the Locke Family. There shouldn't be a problem with the time. After all, the sooner we act against the Brook Family, the better."

Richard said, "Yes, the sooner, the better, to avoid any unnecessary complications."
The two chatted for a while longer before Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong took their leave.
They strolled around the campus again.
This stroll was not like the previous one, which was casual; this time, they took a closer look.
They even chatted with some students and professors.
Xu Yang truly experienced the atmosphere of a world-renowned university.
It was almost five o'clock by the time they left the campus gates.
Wang Xiaocong asked, "Xu Yang, when did you invest in Feichi Technology?"
Xu Yang answered, "I invested a while ago."
Wang Xiaocong followed up, "Is that company really impressive?"
Xu Yang nodded, "Yes, it really is impressive, otherwise, it wouldn't have sparked a competition from Richard."
Wang Xiaocong said, "Then you've really made a huge profit."
He didn't say anything about why Xu Yang didn't invite him to invest together.
This was Xu Yang's personal decision.
Xu Yang couldn't possibly invite him to invest in every project he saw.
Just being brought along occasionally was enough to satisfy him.
Xu Yang said, "I bled a lot today, transferring ten percent of my shares to Richard."
Wang Xiaocong responded, "You still have thirty percent, it's not a big deal. By the way, you want Richard to send Chen Ling and her friend back to the country because you want the exclusive licensing for the technology she holds, right?"
Xu Yang nodded, "Right, I think that technology has great prospects, and it should be able to make money."
Wang Xiaocong said, "When you get the technology and set up the related company, make sure you include me."
Freshwater treatment technology definitely requires the establishment of a company.
For something that could make a large profit, he had to be shameless and ask for some shares.
Xu Yang laughed, "No problem, this business opportunity was discovered by both of us together, how could I leave you out of it?"
Wang Xiaocong laughed heartily, "Good, with your word, I'm reassured."
Xu Yang took out his phone, "I'll make a call to Chen Ling first, to have her prepare to return to the country."
Wang Xiaocong said, "Isn't that not arranged yet? Isn't it too soon to notify her? What if Richard can't arrange it?"
Xu Yang replied, "Since Richard has already agreed, he will definitely be able to handle it. Such a big shot like him would lose face if he couldn't fulfill a promise. Besides, if he can't manage it, he can forget about getting my shares, and our conversation just now would be meaningless. Worst case, we just turn to the Carson Family and the Locke Family to do it."
Wang Xiaocong nodded, "Right, given Richard's status, sending Chen Ling and the others away shouldn't be a problem."
Xu Yang said, "I'll give her a call and then go find her. I'll have a meal with her and her team. When we return to China, I want not only their authorization to start a company but also plan to establish a research department and hire them to focus on scientific research."
Wang Xiaocong's eyes lit up, "That's a great idea. If they can develop freshwater treatment technology, they definitely won't have issues in the research field. In the future, they might even develop other technologies. We will not only get the authorization but also have them work for us. Hahaha, that's just perfect."
Not only obtaining the authorization, but also recruiting the people, there couldn't be a better deal.
Xu Yang said with a wry smile, "Wang Xiaocong, if they heard you say that, it would not be good. 'Having them work for us' is not how you should put it. We should talk about partnerships. We can offer them a certain percentage of shares in the company, so we can all thrive together.
When we see them later, don't talk like that, or they might not join our company's research department, and we might even lose the authorization."
Wang Xiaocong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, my apologies. We should be talking about mutual success, not working for one another."
Xu Yang replied, "That's more like it."
Wang Xiaocong asked, "Right, you mentioned giving them shares, how much do you plan to give?"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yang answered, "Let's give them twenty percent of the shares. They'll be bringing in technology as their share. If we tie them to the company, they won't get more than a few percentage points each, which isn't a lot. The remaining eighty percent will be ours. Later on, based on the actual situation, we can decide if we want to bring in other investors.
That's further down the line though, let's first handle the matters at hand."
Wang Xiaocong nodded: "Okay, make the call."
Xu Yang nodded and was about to dial Chen Ling's number.
But before he could do so, his phone rang.
It was Richard calling.
When Xu Yang had bid farewell earlier, he and Richard had exchanged phone numbers.
Xu Yang answered the call, "Hello, Professor Richard."
Richard said, "Mr. Xu, I have already arranged a private jet and secured a flight route. Tomorrow morning at ten, have your friends go directly to Newark International Airport. My assistant will be waiting for them there. I'll send you my assistant's phone number afterwards so they can contact them directly. My assistant will take them to the plane."
After sending Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong off, he quickly gathered information about Chen Ling and her team and decided that arranging for a few people to return to China wasn't an issue.
He wanted to finalize this matter quickly and secure ten percent of Feichi Technology's shares.
He truly had high hopes for the future growth of Feichi Technology, believing it had the potential to become a trillion-yuan enterprise.
And currently, Feichi Technology's valuation was only ten billion yuan.
To reach a trillion, that's a hundredfold increase.
A project with a hundredfold return on investment, where else could one find that?
If he knew that Feichi Technology would grow into a ten-trillion-yuan enterprise, he would probably be even more eager to get those shares.
Xu Yang replied, "That's wonderful, Professor Richard. I am impressed by your efficiency. Rest assured, as soon as they arrive back in the country, we will sign the contract."
Richard replied, "Good, I'll be waiting."
The call ended.
Xu Yang then dialed Chen Ling's number.
After getting through, Xu Yang directly said, "Chen Ling, I've arranged for you and your team to return home. I'll send you back tomorrow."
Chen Ling could hardly believe it, "Really?"
In fact, Chen Ling wasn't certain whether Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong could actually bring her and her team back to China; she was only holding onto hope.
To her surprise, she just returned to where her team was staying, and she heard such great news.
Xu Yang said, "Of course it's true. The time is tomorrow morning at ten. Let's meet. Send me your address, and Wang Xiaocong and I will come to find you. There are a few more things we need to discuss."
Chen Ling replied, "Okay, I'll send you the address."
