Volume 1: The Starting Point Chapter 13 Strategy

  Please help me promote my new book, thank you.

  Ouyang Feixiang smiled politely and didn't answer Yin Xuechen's question. His smile actually already represented a refusal to answer.

  Yin Xuechen said with a smile, "Mr. Ouyang, you may not know that I have some relationship with that young man. His name is Sun Zesheng, and he has been a schoolmate of my daughter since junior high school. They even sat at the same desk for a semester. Now they are in college, although they are not classmates, but still schoolmates."

  "Oh, is that so? Ah, Yin Dong, I just remembered that Xu Dong has a meeting this afternoon, it's not too late for me to report back to him later. Let's go have some tea together. Is your daughter around? She's in the car? Great, let's call her over too, I've heard that your daughter inherited her mother's heavenly temperament and looks, I've been wanting to meet her." Ouyang Feixiang became extremely enthusiastic.

  Yin Xuechen and Ouyang Feixiang's tea was extremely dull, especially Yin Xianer felt that the more boring it was, the more boring it became. Ouyang Feixiang always asked her about Sun Zesheng's situation in a roundabout way.

  In Yin Xian'er's eyes, Sun Zesheng was nothing, an existence that could be ignored. Even if she saw him, her line of sight could pass through Sun Zesheng's body. To the point where many of Ouyang Feixiang's questions, she couldn't answer, and could only give some ambiguous answers.

  Ou Yang Fei Xiang did not get the information he wanted from Yin Xian Er, but instead, Yin Xue Chen was deep in thought and quietly listened to Ou Yang Fei Xiang's scattered words, drawing a conclusion - Sun Ze Sheng had a very good project in his hands, which Ou Yang Fei Xiang was extremely interested in.

  Yin Xuechen has a certain understanding of Lianxiang Investment Co., Ltd. The venture capital projects they choose are all relatively promising in the market. Sun Zesheng's project, whatever it is, can enter Ou Yang Fei Xiang's eyes, it must be good.

  At that moment, Yin Xuechen's eyes lit up. He had a group company under his name with total assets of hundreds of millions, covering multiple fields such as real estate development, automobile sales and parts, restaurants, etc. Nowadays, it's hard to do business, whatever industry makes money, everyone swarms in. The strength of the Yin enterprise is not particularly strong, and the market share that can be shared is not very large.

  Yin Xuechen hopes to have a fist product in his company that can make a name for itself throughout the city, province and even the whole country and the world, but has not had the opportunity yet.

  Was Sun Zesheng just an opportunity given by God?

  After bidding farewell to Ouyang Feixiang, Yin Xuechen said: "Xian'er, tonight, you accompany me and call your mother. The three of us will go visit the Sun family together."

  "Dad, I'm not going."

  Yin Xuechen pointed at his daughter a few times with his finger and began to reason with Yin Xian'er in a serious tone.

  "How can you just do as you please? You also know the situation of our family, it's barely making ends meet, and there's hardly any profit. If I didn't keep a close eye on things with your mom, we could lose money at any time. What would happen to our whole family then?"

  Sun Zesheng has a project that even Lianlian Investment Co., Ltd. is interested in. If we can get it, we might be able to turn around the Yin's company's low profit situation and reach a new peak.

  "Just because of Sun Zesheng's ability, he is so dull and has no spirit at all. He has a project that even Lianxiang Investment Co., Ltd. is interested in, why don't I believe it? Dad, my impression of Sun Zesheng was not good or bad before. But after I came back this time, I found out that he was simply crazy and blinded by money. Not just for taking a knife for me, but also asking for 400,000 yuan, he really dares to open his mouth."

  Yin Xian'er still resented the fact that when she gave money to Sun Zesheng who was hospitalized for injuries, he didn't hesitate to ask for more.

  "Xian'er, you are Daddy's precious daughter, the apple of his eye. As long as nothing happens to you, it doesn't matter if it's 400,000 or 4 million, or even 40 million, I'll give it to you. We still have to go to Sun Zesheng's house. Even if it's not for the project he might have in his hands, we should still pay him a visit, that's just being polite. After all, Sun Zesheng took a bullet for you, didn't he?" Yin Xuechen persuaded.

  "Alright, go then." Seeing the white hair at her father's temples, Yin Xian'er softened and agreed.

  In the late afternoon, Yin Xian'er and her family carried big bags and small bags, rushing straight to Sun Zesheng's home.

  During junior high and high school, near graduation time, classmates would exchange contact information with each other, including home addresses. Sun Zesheng's family had not moved in many years, so it was easy to find them.

  Unfortunately, Sun Zesheng was not at home. After returning from the Ji'nan Hotel, he rode his bicycle to his grandparents' house for dinner. Only his parents were at home.

  Yin Xian'er and her family couldn't say that they had come just for Sun Zesheng, so they could only express some gratitude to Sun Zesheng's parents, Sun Wenbin and Feng Yueying.

  Sun Zesheng's parents had never lived with a billionaire family before, so they seemed a bit awkward. The two people spoke very plain words, nothing fancy.

  Yin Xue Chen tried to get some information about Sun Zesen from his parents, but unfortunately, he didn't get any news. Sun Wenbin and Feng Yueying are busy with work every day, and Sun Zesen is growing up, so they don't have time to keep an eye on him all day.

  Yin Xian'er and her family came with high spirits but left in low spirits.

  Yin Xue Chen did not give up, planning to come again the next day, but who knew that in the middle of the night, he received a call saying that during the audit at the Yanjing branch, many problems were found.

  Yin Xue Chen had no choice but to call his driver overnight and prepare for a midnight drive to Yanjing. The investigation into what projects Sun Zesheng had in hand would have to be temporarily suspended.

  Before leaving, Yin Xuechen repeatedly reminded Yin Xian'er to go and see Sun Zesheng, to probe his mouth and try to get the things that Sun Zesheng and Ouyang Feixiang talked about.

  "Dad, isn't this asking me to be a business spy? I won't do it." Yin Xian'er bluntly refused Yin Xuechen's proposal.

  "Hey, you kid don't understand anything! Your mom and I only have one daughter like you. When we're old and can't do anything, who else will inherit this huge conglomerate? Working for your own company is called strategy, got it?"

  Yin Xian'er said, "Dad, Sun Zesheng has always had ulterior motives towards me. If I go to him, isn't that like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? If this gets out, people will say I'm using my beauty to seduce him! Aren't you afraid that Sun Zesheng will turn the tables and elope with your precious daughter?"

  "Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Old Yin, don't waste any more time here, hurry up and go to the capital to deal with the branch company's matters, it's urgent. Our daughter, I'm coming to mediate as her mother," said Di Qiufen to Xīnǐ. "You can rest assured, I will definitely find a way to satisfy both of you."

  The next day, Sun Zesheng returned from his grandparents' home and learned from his parents that Yin Xian'er's family had come. He didn't pay much attention to it. Now he is waiting for a reply from either the Zhenmei Group or Lianxiang Investment Co., Ltd.

  If neither of the two companies gives him a satisfactory reply, Sun Zesheng would rather put the project of household hazardous substance detection instrument on hold temporarily than transfer it out at a low price.

  Sun Zesheng also plans to return to school a few days in advance. Although he had a double doctoral degree in his previous life, this time Sun Zesheng still plans to get a bachelor's degree. Without a university diploma, it will be inconvenient to do many things in the future.

  Sun Zesheng began to pack his luggage for returning to school. Although it was still hot, there were not many things worth packing. He went to the nearby train ticket sales point and bought a return ticket. The departure time on the train ticket was the deadline he secretly set for negotiations. If it passed, whether it was Zhenmei Group or Lianxiang Investment Co., Ltd., if they wanted to talk to him again, they would have to go to Yanjing.

  In the past few days, Zhenmei Holding Investment Co., Ltd. and Lianxiang Investment Co., Ltd. have been engaged in intense debates and disputes internally. Both companies are optimistic about the market prospects of the household hazardous substance detection instrument provided by Sun Zesheng and intend to take control of the project. However, the conditions put forward by Sun Zesheng seem too harsh to them.

  The joint meeting of the board of directors of Lianxiang Investment Co., Ltd. is being held, with the chairman of the board of directors, all directors, general managers, executive directors, independent directors and others attending. They are having a video conference with Ouyang Feixiang.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to reiterate once again that from my personal perspective, I still support the purchase of household hazardous substance detection instruments." Ou Yang Fei Xiang was so hoarse from speaking that even if he held a cup and gulped water in big mouthfuls, it wouldn't help.

  "Director Ou Yang, have you ever thought about the price we'll have to pay when buying out? A precise comparison data costs 20 million, ten of them would be 200 million, and a hundred would be 2 billion. If Sun Ze Sheng takes out hundreds of comparison data, won't we have to give him transfer fees in the billions?"

  ……

  At the same time, in the industrial park of Zhenmei Group in Jinnan City, Zhao Hongtu was also having a video conference with the headquarters.

  "My personal opinion is that I still tend to cooperate with Sun Zesheng to open a company, and we will hold the controlling stake," said Zhao Hongtu.

  "I have no objection to cooperating and starting a company, but Sun Zesheng wants veto power, priority subscription rights for shares, and transfer fees. Isn't his appetite a bit too big?"

  "Yes. Sun Zesheng has a big appetite, that's one aspect. On the other hand, won't our estimate of the market prospects for household hazardous substance detectors be overly optimistic? What if it doesn't live up to expectations after its release and we end up losing big?"

  "Director Zhao, Sun Zesheng is just a college student who developed this project on his own. Can we guarantee its professionalism and reliability? You've been saying that you're optimistic about the market prospects of household hazardous substance detectors, but what if we spend a lot of money to buy this project from him and it ends up being a failure? Who will be responsible?"

  I'm more in favor of what General Manager Li said. If we investors are going to invest in this project for detecting harmful substances, we should try every means to find several partners and share the risk together.
