229 Probing By Both Sides, Negotiation On Terms Of Cooperation!
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chairman Xiong could tell that Luo Feng was not an ordinary person.
Not only was he proficient in the art of speech, he was also very calm. After chatting for so long, Luo Feng followed him wherever he said. He was not in a hurry to talk about serious matters at all.
According to Chairman Xiong’s usual style, he would wait for the other party to breach the topic first.
This was because the person who took the initiative would be the first to fall into a disadvantageous position. As long as he spoke first, it meant that he was very concerned about this matter. Regardless of whether Chairman Xiong was an indifferent party no matter whether he followed or not.
However, Luo Feng did not respond. It was as if the purpose of coming here was to chat and drink tea.
Such a dark and unclear att.i.tude made Chairman Xiong a little anxious.
From the beginning, he asked Ji Yang to drive the Rolls-Royce to pick him up and gave him endless praises when he entered. In the end, it was all to make Luo Feng feel smug.
When one was smug, it was the best opportunity to seize.
He didn’t expect this kid to not fall for this. He had an experience that didn’t match his age. He was a wily old fox, as unfathomable as slippery one!
Whether it was from a subjective or objective perspective, Zishan had given Luo Feng enough face this time.
From the arrival at the airport to the personal reception of the company’s director, Chairman Xiong, all of this showed how much he valued this meeting. If it were any other company’s person-in-charge, they would have long been in discussion.
They were definitely impatient to get a collaboration as soon as possible.
However, Luo Feng was an exception.
Chairman Xiong and Zishan were not in the charitable business, let alone be bootlickers of other companies. He very much wanted to invest in Gather Sift TakeawaY. Even though they were already the investors of Are You Hungry, they were also quite interested in Gather Sift Takeaway.
To put it simply, he wanted to bet on both sides. No matter which side won the compet.i.tion, Zishan would not lose out.
These two takeaways were the two largest takeaway companies in the domestic market after all. One occupied the Shanghai market, and the other also occupied the market of a front-line city.
The size on both sides was also comparable.
Are You Hungry might have been established early and had already begun to expand to a second city, but Gather Sift Takeaway was developing faster and more solidly. The development of both sides was not comparable.
Zishan had invested in Are You Hungry because she valued the large online takeaway market. They also valued Gather Sift Takeaway of the same level.
However, the boss of Gather Sift Takeaway was quite low-profile. Zishan investigated in all ways but only found a person-in-charge called Xie Yan. She only managed to contact Luo Feng after a while.
He was so low-key that he did not seem to be a company CEO.
Many investment companies had tried to contact Luo Feng before Zishan, but unfortunately, they could not find any channels.
From the perspective of capitalism, Zishan did not have a fixed position. It was not that she would lock herself in whichever side she invested in. Business did not have loyalty.
On the contrary, Chairman Xiong preferred risk hedging, so he looked for Gather Sift Takeaway.
Are You Hungry and the gathering were both in the early stages. If Zishan entered now, they could often obtain ten to a hundred times the benefits in the future.
In other words, if he invested a million yuan at the same time and spent a total of two million yuan, he only needed to wait for one party to win. The reward would often be tens of millions!
No one would lose anything if they won. This was a profitable business.
Therefore, Chairman Xiong had always wanted to chat with Luo Feng. When he asked around, he only knew that Luo Feng was very young. It seemed that the entire company was filled with young people.
At that time, he thought that a freshman who was almost 20 years old would definitely be easy to fool. As long as they acted more pa.s.sionately and intimately, the students who lacked social experience would definitely think that they were good people.
Perhaps it could make Luo Feng lower his guard and facilitate a more beneficial cooperation.
Such investments pulled in the interests of both sides after all, often in the millions or tens of millions. If he could influence Luo Feng in the details and make him neglect even a little, he might be able to obtain considerable benefits.
This was what Chairman Xiong had planned early on. He never expected Luo Feng to not follow his plan.
Ai Tingya, who came with Luo Feng, was a little reserved, but Luo Feng’s words… His shoulders relaxed and the corners of his mouth curled up. Was he praising the renovation of the office and the fragrance of Chairman Xiong’s tea? He looked happy and content, as if this was his office.
His eyes looked at Chairman Xiong and Ji Yang, as if he could already see through their thoughts. There was an indifference that he could see through but not expose. His att.i.tude was extremely relaxed.
Chairman Xiong and Ji Yang exchanged glances, their eyes filled with “It’s not easy…”
He did not know much about Luo Feng, but from Luo Feng’s att.i.tude, he could tell that this young man was not easy to fool.
“Yo, we are so engrossed in chatting with Chairman Luo that you didn’t realize that the tea was tasteless. Little Ji, quickly make a pot of new tea.” Chairman Xiong saw that Luo Feng seemed to be very interested in the tea leaves and hurriedly refilled his cup.
He was not depressed.
From another perspective, Luo Feng was young but smart. This made Chairman Xiong feel even more at ease.
If it was a stupid kid who was arrogant and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth with just a little achievement, the higher the starting point, the worse he would fall. He would not be able to control the company and his investment would be wasted.
The three of them did not do anything else and focused on chatting while waiting for tea to be served.
Chairman Xiong went straight to the point. “Chairman Luo, we’re all smart people. I won’t beat around the bush with you. Zishan is quite interested in your company.”
Ai Tingya’s eyes lit up when she heard this.
She had been very nervous since she entered, worried that she would make a mistake and be rude. It was very tiring to be tense, and Luo Feng and Chairman Luo always chatted about unimportant things.
This time, they finally got to the point.
She looked at Luo Feng and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, feeling a little proud.
Even though Ai Tingya did not directly partic.i.p.ate in Gather Sift Takeaway, this was Luo Feng’s company. To be able to obtain the favor of the investment world’s top company, didn’t this mean that Luo Feng’s business talent was impressive?
She was like this. She would be happy if Luo Feng succeeded after achieving something even if it was not her.
Ai Tingya had seen all the time and energy that Luo Feng had spent on Gather Sift Takeaway in the past six months. He had managed the company from nothing in a short period of time. There were even big investment companies that took the initiative to come knocking on his door.
Ai Tingya’s eyes were filled with admiration for Luo Feng. She was so full that she was about to overflow.
This made her forget for a moment that she was in Chairman Xiong’s office. Even though it was not a big move, Chairman Xiong, who was sitting opposite the two of them, saw it even if he did not want to.
The first lesson of investment was how to recognize people. Ai Tingya’s thoughts could not be hidden from the wily old fox, slippery one.
Chairman Xiong was already old. To him, youth seemed to be something from his previous life. The sudden appearance of a beautiful girl filled with love and the scorching aura of youth a.s.saulted his face.
The old man silently covered his chest, as if his heart was sore.
All the employees were busy making money in their serious work environment, and no one was doing youth romance. This was not bullying! They had to pay attention to the occasion when they were in a relations.h.i.+p!
