Chapter 11 — Mother-in-law Chooses Ex-Love

The first half of the meeting went quite normally. Technology, finance, clinical trials, data security, each category is run through. Coming to the capital structure part, I pushed Duong Ninh Capital's profile onto the projector screen.

"Request Tu Quang to clearly explain the reason for bringing Duong Ninh Capital in, the source of the cash flow, the ultimate beneficiary, and whether there is an undisclosed hidden benefit agreement with a member of the Van family."

The meeting room was silent. Boss Wei cleared his throat: "Dang Ninh Capital is a mature investment fund in the field of foreign healthcare. It has previously invested in many projects. As for capital sources, the fund has its own compliance report." I said: “Please provide.” He frowned: "Lawyer Sam, this request has gone beyond the appraisal scope of a normal follower investor." I looked straight at him.

"Tinh Hanh, as a lead investor, has the right to request confirmation that investors in the same round do not have compliance risks that affect the deal closing. Especially when the amount of money Duong Ninh Capital plans to invest accounts for 18% of this round, and also enjoys co-sale rights and pre-emptive right."

The auditor nodded: "This part really needs additional explanation." Van Thoi Nghien looked at boss Wei: "Provided as requested by lawyer Sam." Boss Wei's face was not very good: "Boss Van, I have to go back to coordinate this matter internally." I continued to turn the pages.

"In addition, Lan Thanh Consulting and Duong Ninh Capital have a profit sharing agreement. The legal representative of Lan Thanh Consulting has the full name and last 4 digits of the citizen identification card that match the personal assistant of Ms. Pho Lam Chi. Please explain whether Lan Thanh Consulting is holding the rights of a member of the Van family or not."

This time, the meeting room was completely silent. The investment director's eyes lit up. Van Thoi Nghien's face darkened: "Boss Wei, what is this?" Boss Wei sweatdropped: "Maybe it's the same name." I click to the next page.

"Lan Thanh Consulting's registered address is in the building owned by Ms. Pho Lam Chi. The person who signed the rental contract is also Ms. Pho's assistant. Same name, same address, same signature, this probability is a bit low."

Van Thoi Nghien remained silent and said nothing. I looked at him: "Boss Van, if Duong Ninh Capital participates in this capital call, Tinh Hanh proposes to include this issue as a prerequisite before closing the deal. Before completing the thorough transparency, anti-money laundering appraisal and explanation of associated interests, we will not sign for disbursement." Tinh Hanh's representative immediately chimed in: "We agree with lawyer Sam's opinion." Boss Wei tried to lower his voice: "Lawyer Sam, there's no need to be desperate." I smiled.

"Boss Wei, I only look at risks when working on projects, not looking at anyone's face. Faces cannot be written in the legal appraisal report (Legal Opinion)."

After the meeting ended, Van Thoi Nghien called me back.

“Chieu Vi.”

I stopped walking: "Boss Van, personal address here is not appropriate." He closed his eyes. “Lawyer Sam, I will handle my mother's matter.” I said: "I hope this time it's not just talk." He smiled bitterly: “You don't have any left now What faith do you have in me?" I looked at him: "Trust is like access to a data room. Before granting permission, you must verify it carefully. Once revoked, it is very difficult to ask for it again." He was choked by what I said. I picked up my laptop bag.

“Before next Friday, Tu Quang is requested to submit additional documents. Overdue will affect the closing of the deal, the company will bear the consequences."

Out of the meeting room, the investment director ran after me.

“Lawyer Sam, you were so cool just now.”
