Chapter 204 Addition

After entering the box, Tang Shuo sat directly next to Jiang Tiantong, and the other three sat opposite him.

The antique-style private room was furnished in rosewood and red sandalwood, with shelves overflowing with antiques and exquisite bonsai. The renovation costs for this private room alone must have been substantial.

Not long after everyone sat down, a little girl brought out the food prepared for today.

The dishes are Beijing cuisine, with six dishes and one soup.

Each dish is served with exquisite utensils. Very sophisticated.

There was nothing particularly precious like shark fin or abalone. After the little girl served a pot of homemade Shaoxing rice wine, the meal officially began.

Tang Shuo picked up his chopsticks and tasted every dish. No wonder Huangfu Yuanzhou praised it so highly. The food here was indeed extraordinary.

Because they had more important things to do, everyone ate quickly. Except for Huangfu Yuanzhou who asked a few questions from time to time, no one else spoke.

In fact, except Tang Shuo, the others only took a few sips.

After all, no matter how delicious the food here is, it is not as important as what we are going to talk about next.

After Tang Shuo finished eating, a young man next to Huangfu Yuanzhou who looked similar to him got up and went out, calling someone in to clean up the dishes.

Tang Shuo looked at the young man's back in great confusion. He was sure that this was the first time he saw him. He didn't know why he sensed a sense of hostility from the young man.

After all this was over, Huangfu Yuanzhou smiled as he poured tea for Tang Shuo and Jiang Tiantong. He then said, "You should have thought it through carefully. If there are no problems, we will sign the contract today and complete the cooperation as soon as possible."

The Huangfu family and the Jiang family had started discussing cooperation several months ago, but the discussion was interrupted for a while due to the death of Jiang Hongtao. Now it can be said that both parties have repeatedly confirmed the contents of the contract, and today's meal is also meant to be an early celebration.

Then the thin man sitting next to Huangfu Yuanzhou took out two documents from his backpack and placed them on the table.

The Huangfu family obviously attaches great importance to this matter. After all, Huake is now one of the Huangfu family's pillar industries besides the energy and investment industries. Now that they are cooperating with the Jiang family, they naturally have to be more cautious.

Jiang Tiantong turned to look at Tang Shuo and said, "Bring out the documents."

Huangfu Yuanzhou narrowed his eyes. He had already brought the contract. What other documents were needed? Could it be that this matter required some changes?

Tang Shuo immediately followed his instructions and took out two contracts from the document package he brought.

Jiang Tiantong took it and handed one to Huangfu Yuanzhou, saying, "Take a look at this."

Huangfu Yuanzhou took a look and his expression seemed a little panicked.

"According to the latest information I've learned, the Song and Li families, in addition to the telecommunications company they've already acquired, are planning to invest a total of 200 billion yuan. You should have heard about this."

After Huangfu Yuanzhou finished reading, Jiang Tiantong said, "So our cooperation needs to change. I will invest 150 billion, and your Huangfu family must contribute 120 billion."

Tang Shuo on the side was startled and immediately turned to look at Jiang Tiantong's face.

What's wrong with this woman? Just now in the office, she said that 100 billion was the limit, but now she's suddenly so generous. She wants to give out another 50 billion?

This is not just five or fifty dollars. If something goes wrong, the Jiang family will be doomed!

If the other person's eyes had not been extremely clear, Tang Shuo would have thought that Jiang Tiantong had a fever.

"Let's not even talk about whether I can allocate so much money to this project." Huangfu Yuanzhou thought for a while and shook his head. "Your Jiang family is already taking advantage of us. Even if we add more funds now, why should I pay an extra 20 billion?"

The Jiang family only spent 100 billion to acquire 49% of the shares of a communications company with a market value of 100 billion and 150 billion in research funds in the company's account. It was already a huge profit.

But now proposing such an additional condition is equivalent to asking the Huangfu family to invest another 20 billion, which Huangfu Yuanzhou certainly cannot agree to.

However, Jiang Tiantong's attitude was very firm. She looked at Huangfu Yuanzhou with an indifferent expression and said, "The Song and Li families have made great efforts. We must make additional investments. If you don't want to invest so much money, you can continue to invest 50 billion. The Jiang family will still contribute 150 billion, but we must hold 51% of the shares."

The issue of equity is very sensitive. It seems that there is only a two percent difference between the Jiang family and the Huangfu family, but the Huangfu family has absolute controlling rights.

This is also an important reason why the Huangfu family would be so willing to make concessions to the Jiang family. Otherwise, let alone giving up hundreds of billions to the Jiang family, it would be difficult for the Jiang family to take even a dime.

After hearing what Jiang Tiantong said, Huangfu Yuanzhou knew that it was impossible to make the other party compromise.

However, they had to hold on to the controlling stake of Huake firmly, so they seemed a little hesitant for a while.

After exchanging a glance with the two people beside him, Huangfu Yuanzhou stood up and said, "We need to go out and talk first. The additional 70 billion is too critical for us."

Jiang Tiantong nodded, signaling them to do as they pleased, and then Huangfu Yuanzhou led the two of them out of the box.

After Huangfu Yuanzhou left, Tang Shuo immediately asked, "Are you really planning to take 150 billion?"

"Hmm." Jiang Tiantong slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing Jiang Tiantong's confident expression, Tang Shuo asked, "Will there be any problems with liquidity?"

Jiang Tiantong just shook his head and didn't explain anything to Tang Shuo.

Tang Shuo showed a helpless look on his face. It was intriguing that the Huangfu family wanted to cooperate with Jiang Tiantong, and it was even more incomprehensible that Jiang Tiantong made such a request. However, the only thing that was certain was that there must be something fishy about this.

He had already reminded Jiang Tiantong, and since the other party had already considered it, he didn't need to say anything more.

Huangfu Yuanzhou led the two men out of the box and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

The thin man who had just taken the information said, "Something seems to be wrong, but I can't put my finger on it."

"Isn't this a perfect opportunity?" Another man who had some similarities with Huangfu Yuanzhou said carelessly, "The Jiang family poured in so much money at once, which just gave us a chance!"

"Shut up." Huangfu Yuanzhou glared at the man fiercely, and said angrily in a somewhat upset voice: "I haven't settled the score with you for hiring someone to kidnap Jiang Tianwei. Last time, you almost became cannon fodder. Why don't you learn your lesson?"

Huangfu Yuanzhou glared at him, and the man lowered his head in embarrassment, muttering viciously, "Isn't this all for the Huangfu family? If my plan had succeeded, the Jiang family would no longer exist. It's all Tang Shuo's fault!"

Huangfu Yuanzhou snorted coldly and said, "If you really want to help the Huangfu family, stop coming up with useless and stupid ideas."

Seeing the two brothers quarreling, a thin man on the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Anyway, this matter can't be delayed any longer. If we keep wasting time like this, who knows what kind of trouble will arise. It's up to you to decide how to proceed!"

Huangfu Yuanzhou was silent for a while, then said, "Let me ask grandpa what he thinks."

After saying that, Huangfu Yuanzhou took out a mobile phone and dialed a number very smoothly.

After a while, a very old voice came from the phone: "Yuan Zhou."

"Grandpa." Huangfu Yuanzhou said, "I have something I want to ask you."

"What's up?"

Huangfu Yuanzhou said concisely: "The Jiang family agreed to cooperate, but took the initiative to propose an additional investment of 50 billion, and at the same time asked our family to pay an additional 70 billion, with no other restrictions."

The old man on the other end of the phone immediately realized what was going on and said with a smile, "What's your own decision?"

Huangfu Yuanzhou replied, "I want to agree. This opportunity is really great."

"Since you've made up your mind, just do as you wish," the old man said. "No need to ask for my opinion."

"Okay, I understand." Huangfu Yuanzhou nodded resolutely.

After hanging up the phone, Huangfu Yuanzhou looked at the young man who looked just like him and said, "Zhengqi, be careful when you go in later. Don't look so grumpy."
