Mountain Eagle faced Galahad's sincere expression, took a sip of beer, thought for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth...

"If there were no betting agreements, if there were no additional restrictive clauses, I would definitely sell the shares without hesitation and distribute the money to everyone.

50 million dollars, even if all of you share it, is more than enough for everyone to retire and enjoy a decent life!

Unfortunately, reality doesn't work that way. White Whale just gave you veterans an option that looks very good, but in reality, no matter how you compensate your partners, you and they cannot escape the fate of being exploited.

Mercenary work is not ordinary business; perhaps one failure could make you disintegrate.

Under the lure of White Whale's betting agreement, the high frequency of deployments will rapidly increase your losses and quickly decrease your reputation.

If you consider Round Table Knight as your career, then I tell you, introducing a shareholder like White Whale is destructive to your career."

Galahad listened, smiled bitterly and nodded, then shook his head and said, "Arthur found someone to make a business plan...

Round Table Knight has already obtained the Security Company's license, and Arthur intends to transform Round Table Knight's business from a mercenary group to a security contractor.

He believes that introducing White Whale's capital might have potential in the future…"

Mountain Eagle interrupted Galahad with a wave and laughed. "Don't tell me you plan to take the financing and listing route…"

Saying that, Mountain Eagle counted on his fingers and said, "Develop security contractor business, use White Whale's channels and contacts to leverage and rapidly expand the business.

After making a profit, raise funds in London to acquire a listed shell company, then merge the Security Company's business into it to indirectly finance through listing.

Leaving aside the equity distribution issue, you tell me, apart from completing tasks, which of these can you accomplish or control?

When you reach that stage, how will you ensure that you are the indispensable part?"

Galahad sighed after hearing, and said, "Do you think there's no chance?"

Mountain Eagle looked at Galahad curiously and said, "Do you think there's a chance?"

Galahad shook his head and said, "It's not me; it's Arthur who thinks there's a chance!

Our previous endeavor to recruit Indians to expand manpower and scope was an attempt.

White Whale gave Arthur a 'correct answer'!"

Mountain Eagle heard and laughed, saying, "Brother, the 'correct answer' only holds true when you have mastery of core technology and a 100-point luck score.

What core technology do mercenaries have?

No, that's not right!

Arctic Fox has core technology, but their team culture, sustained by annual transfusions, has no market in the financing sector.

Galahad heard and nodded slightly, saying, "So you think we can't succeed, right?"

Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "I'm just giving my opinion, but that doesn't mean I'm definitely right!

If entrepreneurship is likened to a dream, then the financing process should be the process of finding partners who can aid the dream.

When you sell 60% of your dream for 50 million dollars, even if you think you're smart and can protect your control through various legal terms...

Ultimately, you'll find that your dream stays only a dream!

Because fulfilling a dream is a systematic project, White Whale can only solve part of your problems.

When faced with other problems that require help from other people, you won't even have the space to share the dream, as the equity isn't sufficient.

If your dream is to list Round Table Knight on the London stock market, becoming a security group with a market value of 300 million or 500 million, making everyone in the team millionaires or multimillionaires...

Then you should share your business plan with White Whale when they propose acquisition.

If they cannot identify with your philosophy and confirm to commit enough energy into your endeavor, their 50 million investment should be priced as venture capital.

10% or 15% of shares, not more, because venture capital itself is premium-priced.

Otherwise, when faced with more complex issues, you won't have attractive chips.

Galahad didn't expect Mountain Eagle would understand the situation so thoroughly...

Entrepreneurship is like making a cake. I have cake-making skills but lack resources, so I need to find someone to provide flour, someone to provide milk, someone to provide sugar, someone to provide butter...

If my plan is to make 100 cakes, I should decide on the share ratio in my mind at the earliest stage and allocate shares according to the value the partners provide...

If I give more than half of the shares to the flour provider in the beginning, subsequent partners won't get reasonable returns; why would they help you?

```

Of course, there are complex equity and price games involved here, and it's normal for craftsmen to compromise in the face of strong investors.

But the principle is that resolving distribution is the key to whether entrepreneurship can ultimately succeed.

Galahad thought for a moment according to Mountain Eagle's logic, and he nodded dejectedly, saying, "If you follow your logic, Arthur really can't succeed!"

As he said this, Galahad suddenly looked at Mountain Eagle and earnestly said, "Mountain, are you interested in investing in the Round Table Knights?

Maybe we can try using your logic...

We have licenses and relatively mature business channels..."

Mountain Eagle listened, rubbed his nose, and shook his head, saying, "Does everyone know I won money?"

As he said this, Mountain Eagle turned to Silver Fox, whose expression was complex, and laughed, saying, "Do I look like the kind of person who invests recklessly?"

Silver Fox didn't know why, but he felt somewhat constrained in front of Mountain Eagle...

Faced with Mountain Eagle's gaze, Silver Fox turned his head to avoid his stare and shook his head, saying, "From the moment White Whale proposed the acquisition, the countdown to the Round Table Knights' split began.

Galahad wants to maintain the Round Table Knights. If you are unwilling to invest, then someone else will have to talk to you about the Syrian business he discussed with you previously.

Surely you don't want to discuss the Syrian business with that White Whale, right!"

Mountain Eagle listened, looked at Galahad's dispirited face, pursed his lips, and said, "Do we have any misunderstandings between us?

If you think the Syrian business is helping me, then I apologize for my previous presumptuousness.

I feel responsible for Arctic Fox because of Blood Fox's affairs.

I cooperated previously with the Round Table Knights to compensate for the favors from you guys running around the world to catch Black Fox for me...

Li Chengji from the Asian region of the International Intermediary Company does need top mercenary teams like Arctic Fox and Round Table Knights for backing, but ultimately, he's the client, and you guys aren't the decisive chips.

Do you really think the work in Syria couldn't be done if switched from the world's eighth to the eightieth ranking?"

As he said this, Mountain Eagle looked at Silver Fox and Galahad's complex expressions, and he laughed, saying, "White Whale might be a giant for you, but it means nothing to me. I just need you to put on a suit and stroll around at Li Chengji's party.

As for whether the Round Table Knights can attend in the end, I really don't care!"

Galahad looked at Mountain Eagle's serious expression and sighed helplessly, saying, "White Whale lost the Spartans, and he's eager to regain control of a strong team to continue his business.

Arthur definitely can't withstand the pressure White Whale is creating. In my view, the split of the Round Table Knights is inevitable; I, Lancelot, might likely exit.

We don't want our guys to end up going home empty-handed, so I want to continue...

When you said you don't necessarily need the Round Table Knights, should I understand it as we can still participate in the Syrian business after becoming independent?"

Mountain Eagle saw the hint of hope in Galahad's eyes and felt it was unnecessary to continue pressuring this old man.

This old fellow isn't essentially different from Silver Fox; they know a bit about business but always think from their own perspective, wanting to maintain what they consider decorum or honor.

Mountain Eagle never considered taking the same path as them and, faced with Galahad's rather stiff plea and negotiation, he felt it wasn't interesting to keep bullying him.

So he simply nodded and said, "No one else knows the Round Table Knights are about to split, even if they do, it doesn't matter. You, Galahad, still have influence.

Moreover, Li Chengji truly needs Arctic Fox. As long as Li Chengji establishes herself firmly during her US trip, subsequent business can proceed as discussed previously.

It's just a matter of replacing the Round Table Knights with others, like the Holy Grail Knight or Pure Knight.

As long as you have manpower, everything's negotiable!"

Upon hearing this, Galahad pointed at Di Huo and the others who were frolicking in the living room, and said with a bitter smile, "I only have them and a portion of my personal connections.

You know better than I do about Lancelot; he's been held up in Thailand for half a year. His guys are top-notch, but people are complicated. After six months in prison, it's hard to say how many will be left with Lancelot.

I can only be sure that Lancelot's network and experience remain!"

Galahad looked at Mountain Eagle's surprised expression and said helplessly, "Most importantly, we don't have enough funds right now.

Mountain, if we want to cleanly complete the cut with the Round Table Knights in a short time, we have to give up looking for compensation.

I need an influx of funds and to secure several high-profit assignments in the short term to maintain current personnel.

Actually, I've been negotiating with Silver Fox earlier. We don't have many people, we could fully integrate into Arctic Fox and become your so-called 'Holy Grail Team,' but Silver Fox refused!

I have other options, but I believe you are my best choice!"

Mountain Eagle instinctively covered his pocket, sighing, and said, "How much money do you need, and what are your terms?"
