Twenty-five percent.

The sound of typing on the keyboard in the office area seemed to have stopped for a moment.Zhang Zhidong pushed up his thick-soled glasses, looked away from Lin Chuan's face, and looked at Ma Huateng.

Ma Huateng did not speak immediately.

His fingers unconsciously tapped twice on the coffee-stained folding table.This movement was very subtle, but Lin Chuan captured it - he had seen too many micro-expressions of people before making major decisions in his previous life. This unconscious finger tapping showed that the brain was running at high speed.

He is settling accounts.

The office area with about twenty people was as stuffy as a steamer. The floor-standing fan in the corner was spinning, and the rhythm of the fan blades was like a countdown.

Chen Weiming picked up the teacup and took a sip without interrupting.He is a smart man and knows that at this moment it is time for the protagonists to talk for themselves.

The silence lasted about ten seconds.

"Mr. Lin." Ma Huateng spoke, his voice was not loud, but he spoke each word clearly, "I want to ask two things."

Lin Chuan raised his chin slightly.

"First, ten million, when will it arrive?"

"After signing the agreement, the full amount will be paid within three days. No batches, no delays." Lin Chuan's answer was as straightforward as cutting tofu with a knife.

Ma Huateng nodded, his expression not changing much.But Zhang Zhidong, who was sitting next to him, was breathing heavily - three days to 10 million. For a company that is worried about next month's server rent, this sentence carries more weight than any business plan.

"Second." Ma Huateng stared at Lin Chuan's eyes, his gaze behind the lenses became sharper, "Twenty-five percent, plus a director seat. After Mr. Lin takes these -"

He paused.

"How are you going to control us?"

As soon as this question came out, Zhang Zhidong also leaned forward slightly.

The core thorn between founders and financial investors was directly put on the table by Ma Huateng.

Lin Chuan nodded secretly in his heart.It is not unreasonable that this person can turn Tencent from a shabby office into a trillion-dollar empire in the future.Even if he was so poor that the server alerted him and he couldn't pay wages, he would not give up an inch of the bottom line that he should adhere to.

"Mr. Ma." Lin Chuan leaned back, folded his hands on his knees, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"I didn't invest you 10 million to be your boss."

"How to operate daily, how to make products, how to iterate technology - I don't understand, and I don't intend to pretend to understand. You and your team have the final say on these things."

He held up a finger.

"For the board seat, what I want is the right to know. In which direction the company is heading, what happened at key nodes, financing, expansion, strategic adjustments - I need to know these things, and I have the right to participate in discussions. But the person who makes the final decision is you."

Quiet.

The fan is still running.The low hum of the servers in the distant computer room was like a tireless heartbeat.

"Let me be more straightforward." Lin Chuan glanced at Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

"You guys sitting in this room, every line of code you write, every server you carry, is worth much more than my 10 million. I just bought a ticket, and you are still the ones playing on the field."

The corners of Zhang Zhidong's mouth moved.

He turned to look at Ma Huateng.

There wasn't much complexity in that look, just one sentence - you can take this money.

Ma Huateng was silent for about five seconds.

During these five seconds, his fingers stopped tapping.

"Ten million, 25%, and a director seat." Ma Huateng repeated softly, as if making a final confirmation, "The full amount will be paid within three days. The daily operations are led by the Tencent team, and you do not interfere."

"Yes."

Ma Huateng stood up.

He held out his hand.

The palm of that hand had a thin callus and the knuckles were thin, but it was stable when stretched out.
