Chapter 66

Hao Meng sent the detailed specifications and various components of the two electronic products to Lan Phoenix's email. She had friends in this field who could directly quote a price, and she would call him back later. For the first batch of products, Hao Meng wouldn't need a large quantity, at most around 30,000 units, as his funds were limited. He hadn't yet reached the point where he could purchase all the detailed components himself, but he definitely would in the future!

"Boss, besides inquiring about the phone manufacturing, there are several very important matters that need your attention. You'll be very busy from now on!" Lan Lan emerged after Hao Meng hung up the phone, looking serious.

"What matters!" Hao Meng wasn't afraid of being busy; one has to be busy to have a goal. Those who do nothing all day are just idle.

"First, we need to register various patents for our Blue Charm Intelligent Technology Company. In the mobile phone industry, we must have our own patent barriers to break through the封锁 of those super companies. Boss, it's best to find some professionals and a legal team, as we will inevitably have to deal with lawsuits in the future." Lan Lan said.

"Alright, noted. I'll get it done as soon as possible!" Hao Meng touched his nose, thinking that Blue Charm Technology was currently just a shell. Not to mention a legal team, he was still a lone wolf as the big boss!

"Also, we need more money, Boss. You need to raise funds. Phone manufacturing requires money, patent applications require money, and everything else requires money. The one million you put in the company's bank account is far from enough." Lan Lan said with a playful smile.

Hao Meng asked with a bitter smile, "How much do we need?"

"For now, at least one hundred million in startup capital!" Lan Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"One hundred million?" Hao Meng felt his head spin. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. This little guy really had the nerve to ask for such a large sum. Not to mention one hundred million, even ten million was beyond his reach. At most, Hao Meng's total assets added up to a few million.

It had only been a few months, and this rate of wealth accumulation wasn't slow, right?

"That's right, one hundred million. Without it, it's not enough!" Lan Lan nodded firmly.

Hao Meng frowned, thinking about where to get one hundred million. This was one hundred million, not ten thousand or one hundred thousand, which could be borrowed from relatives and friends.

"Boss, are you worried about how to get the money?" Lan Lan asked, looking at Hao Meng's worried face, with a cute expression.

"Of course, it's one hundred million. Anyone would be worried!" Hao Meng said with a bitter smile.

Lan Lan smiled and said, "Boss, getting the money isn't actually that difficult. You can take out a loan from the bank. Blue Charm Intelligent Technology Company isn't just a shell. The download and installation of 'Smart Little Blue' on the internet has already exceeded ten million, and this number is still growing rapidly."

Hao Meng frowned and asked, "Will the bank recognize this?"

Lan Lan mimicked Hao Meng's gesture, shrugging her shoulders, and said, "That depends on the bank's perspective. Under a discerning eye, Blue Charm Technology is a pearl."

Hao Meng rolled his eyes, ignoring her. He didn't care about the discerning eye; he just wanted to know if the bank would lend him the money. "Are there any other options?"

"Sure, finding investors or venture capital companies is feasible. The bank might not see the future of 'Blue Charm Intelligent Technology,' but those venture capital and tech companies definitely will. As long as you let a little wind out, I believe those companies will swarm like sharks smelling blood!" Lan Lan said with a smile, pausing to add, "Perhaps this is the best choice for you right now!"

Letting others invest in 'Blue Charm Intelligent Technology'?

Hao Meng frowned, thinking for a while before asking, "How much equity do you think we should give up?"

Lan Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, saying, "No more than twenty percent. The price should not be less than two billion, and the currency is in US dollars."

"Two billion? US dollars?" Hao Meng was taken aback. If what Lan Lan said was true, then the current market value of Blue Charm Intelligent Technology would be ten billion US dollars! After all, Blue Charm Intelligent Technology currently only had one product, the free voice software 'Smart Little Blue'!

"That's right, two billion US dollars. And, it's best not to sell these shares to one company!" Lan Lan nodded.

Hao Meng didn't know how Lan Lan calculated the market value of Blue Charm Intelligent Technology, but he only thought of one question: would anyone spend so much money to invest?

"Boss, should we let out the news that Blue Charm Technology is seeking venture capital?" Lan Lan asked.

Hao Meng thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Not yet, I'll check with the bank first!" He paused and then said, "Forget it, let's do it your way. If there really are any... companies interested and willing to pay this price!" He wasn't very confident about his trip to the bank.

"Alright!" Lan Lan nodded, and a series of windows appeared on the computer screen, then disappeared after two seconds.

"Done!"

Hao Meng was taken aback, "So fast?"

Lan Lan proudly tilted her head and said, "This is nothing!" She paused and continued, "By the way, Boss, the PC version of Smart Little Blue is also ready. It has four language versions: Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese. It can be uploaded to the internet for users to download at any time!"

Smart Little Blue can not only 'live' on phones but also on computers, though with some functional limitations. Lan Lan specifically optimized 'Smart Little Blue' for computers!

"Upload it!" Hao Meng nodded.

Suddenly, news spread online that Blue Charm Technology was seeking external funding, with the scale of the funding being around twenty percent of the company's shares. In no time, various venture capital and tech companies received the news and sent people to contact Blue Charm Technology to confirm. Blue Charm Intelligent Technology confirmed that they indeed had plans for funding.

However, the news from Blue Charm Intelligent Technology was that 20% of the shares would be funded for two billion US dollars, a huge figure that shocked all the companies.

Is Blue Charm Intelligent Technology worth that much?

The day after the news of Blue Charm Intelligent Technology's funding plans was confirmed!

On July 18th, the official website of Blue Charm Intelligent Technology was officially launched.

The name: "Blue Charm Intelligent."

Slogan: Blue Charm Intelligent will change everyone's life, letting you experience true artificial intelligence!

At the same time, almost all users who had installed 'Smart Little Blue' suddenly received a voice message from 'Blue Charm Intelligent'!

"Blue Charm Intelligent, greeting you!"

Blue Charm Intelligent Technology, like a brilliant star, suddenly appeared in the public eye.
