Chapter 239 Full payment secured, all included.

Her eyes, which had always been calm and unruffled, suddenly widened, a look of profound shock flashing through them, and her steady breathing hitched slightly.

As the company's head of finance, she knew better than anyone what a hundred million in cash flow meant.

Even if Chenqi Investment had deep pockets, pulling out the full amount at once—zero hesitation, zero negotiation, and zero risk control tug-of-war—was a level of boldness that transcended the scope of ordinary capital.

She had always known her boss was decisive and generous, but she had never seen such a heroic aura, handling a hundred-million-level fund as if it were nothing.

It was as if the hundred million in hard cash he was throwing down was just a few hundred bucks of pocket change spent on a whim.

Standing to the side, Li Sisi's eyes were wide, waves of emotion surging in her heart, her face filled with shock and admiration.

So cool!

This is the vision and spirit of a top-tier capital tycoon!

Other institutions would argue until they were red in the face over a valuation difference of a few hundred thousand, or spend days and nights haggling over risk control terms, or scheme over installment payments. But Mr. Lin, with one simple sentence, took it all in full, taking everything!

This extreme contrast brought a sense of satisfaction that was off the charts!

The meeting room was dead silent for a full five or six seconds. To everyone at ByteDance, these few seconds felt both long and shocking.

The first to snap out of it was Li Yiming. He suddenly regained his senses, his emotions instantly shifting from bewilderment to extreme euphoria, his hands unable to stop trembling slightly.

Having been in the industry for many years, he had long since cultivated a steady temperament, but at this moment, he simply couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

What a surprise! A surprise far beyond expectations!

Originally, they had prepared for financing difficulties, splitting the quota, and having multiple parties involved; they had even prepared for the worst-case scenario of giving up more equity and accepting harsh terms.

They never expected Lin Chen to take on the entire financing quota by himself, perfectly solving all the company's funding gaps!

Li Hongtao hurriedly stood up, his tone carrying an irrepressible excitement and respect, his voice trembling slightly:

"M-Mr. Lin!"

"Are... are you sure you want to subscribe to the full hundred million in financing and take 10% of our shares?!"

He couldn't help but confirm once more. It wasn't that he didn't believe it; he just didn't dare to believe it!

Lin Chen looked up, his expression still indifferent, his tone certain yet casual, as if he had just done a trivial little thing: "I'm sure."

"No need to negotiate terms, no need to adjust the valuation, and no need to split the funds."

"Sign today, and the full payment will be credited today."

"10% of ByteDance's shares will belong entirely to Chenqi Investment Xingcheng Co., Ltd., without any additional conditions."

Every word was forceful and resonant, without the slightest hesitation.

After hearing this, Li Yiming became completely exhilarated, his face beaming with joy. He nodded repeatedly, his tone incredibly sincere:

"Good! Good! Excellent!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin! Thank you so much! You are truly providing help when it's needed most; you are ByteDance's life-saving benefactor!"

At this moment, only endless relief remained in his heart.

He was glad he had set aside his pride to host him personally, and glad he had taken the initiative to seek this cooperation.

By latching onto a capital powerhouse like Lin Chen, ByteDance's new project would definitely take off, and its future development would be limitless!

Li Bingkuan, who was standing nearby, also hurriedly chimed in, his face covered in smiles, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful:

"Mr. Lin's vision is truly grand! Your approach is truly different! With your capital infusion, ByteDance's new project is definitely secure!"

The other executives at ByteDance also came to their senses one after another, offering their thanks. The way they looked at Lin Chen had completely changed, shifting from initial respect to heartfelt awe and submission.

They had seen wealthy bosses and generous investors, but they had never seen a top-tier tycoon who was this wealthy, this visionary, and this decisive and domineering.

While others invested with careful calculation and step-by-step caution, Lin Chen invested by looking at the big picture and casually providing a safety net for everything.

Li Yiming calmed his excitement for a good while before speaking again, his tone becoming even more humble:

"Mr. Lin, to be honest, I was truly shocked by your boldness today."

"We had originally prepared a bunch of negotiation plans, thinking of trying our best to secure your investment, and we would have been extremely satisfied even with a partial entry."

"I've never seen anyone handle a hundred-million-level investment with such calm and efficiency. Your vision and confidence are truly unmatched!"

Lin Chen smiled faintly and leaned back against the chair, his posture relaxed and composed:

"There's no need to dawdle over a project I believe in. Since your valuation is reasonable and the track is high-quality, and I approve of your development, then a hundred million for ten percent of the shares is settled. It's pointless to waste time negotiating trivial conditions."

A casual sentence, yet it fully displayed the confidence of top-tier capital.

An investment of a hundred million, which ordinary people would see as an impossible feat, was in his eyes just a simple layout on a business track, done on a whim.

Su Wan stood to the side, ripples appearing in her cool eyes, her heart full of emotion.

She had long been accustomed to the nitpicking, profit-seeking, and calculating nature of capital.

But today, in Lin Chen, she saw the posture of truly top-tier capital.

Precise, decisive, grand, and composed.

Not fussing over short-term gains and losses, not nitpicking over trivial terms, only recognizing core value, and providing a total safety net upon entry.

Li Sisi's heart was even more stirred, her eyes full of starlight.

Following Lin Chen, her understanding was constantly being refreshed as she witnessed the highest level of business vision. The scene of casually throwing down a hundred million and controlling the whole situation was truly too shocking.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was completely ignited. The eyes of the ByteDance executives were filled with awe, gratitude, and submission.

What was originally an atmosphere of equal business negotiation had completely turned into a situation where a tycoon had entered the fray, and everyone else was humbly learning.

Li Yiming quickly took the initiative to arrange things: "Mr. Lin! I will immediately have the legal and finance departments prepare the equity transfer agreement and the financing subscription contract. All processes will be prioritized and expedited, and everything will be completed within today so as not to waste your time!"

"We will open the fund connection channel immediately and await your transfer at any time!"

"Mhm."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, his tone still flat. "As soon as possible."

Two simple words, yet they made everyone at ByteDance even more respectful.

At this moment, it was crystal clear in their hearts.

From this moment on, Chenqi Investment Xingcheng Co., Ltd. officially became a major shareholder of ByteDance with a 10% stake. Lin Chen was now one of ByteDance's real core investors and behind-the-scenes tycoons.

Holding a ten percent stake in a company with a billion-dollar valuation, and securing a seat as a ByteDance shareholder with just a casual investment—this grandeur and boldness completely conquered everyone present.

Only Lin Chen knew that four years after this investment, in 2018, ByteDance would reach a market value of 540 billion RMB, and this hundred-million investment would bring in 54 billion RMB in revenue.
