Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.
After settling the most important matter, both Chen Yan and Chu Huairen became completely relaxed, so much so that the pace of drinking in the second half was actually much faster than in the first half.
Allen Chu's secretary, who was in charge of drinking competitions, began to raise his glass frequently.
As for Allen Chu himself, although he did not raise his glass as frequently as his secretary, his goal was clear, and he obviously came with the intention of getting Chen Yan drunk.
Although Allen Chu's attitude at the table was quite shameless, Chen Yan was not afraid.
Whether it was the secretary's toast or Allen Chu's toast, Chen Yan drank the whole glass without any ambiguity.
The physical improvement brought about by the fifth-level awakening made Chen Yan's tolerance and endurance for alcohol quite exaggerated.
It’s not that you won’t get drunk, but if you drink too much, there will still be problems.
But this level of drunkenness is definitely not something that can be achieved by just two people taking turns toasting.
Therefore, when time passed to around twelve o'clock in the evening, Allen Chu and the secretary were both drunk, but Chen Yan, who was besieged by the two, still looked energetic.
Apart from a slight sweat on his forehead, not even the color of his cheeks changed, let alone his drunken appearance.
"Alright, alright, stop drinking. You're already so old, and you're still drinking with others. I don't know what you're thinking."
Chu Yinyin stopped Allen Chu from continuing his drinking contest.
No matter how selfless you appear, it is ultimately only reflected in company affairs. Caring about your father's health in private is a normal emotional tendency.
"I really can't drink any more, brother... Your alcohol tolerance is truly astonishing... To be honest, I've lived for over fifty years and have never seen anyone drink as much as you. It's truly... truly an eye-opener..."
Allen Chu moved the chair next to Chen Yan’s chair and directly put his arm around Chen Yan’s shoulders.
He continued, addressing Chen Yan as a close friend, "Brother, I'm going to take a flight back tomorrow morning... early in the morning... Don't worry about your company's affairs... I'll contact the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission right after I get back... and I'll definitely give your company... the best treatment!"
Chen Yan subconsciously glanced at Chu Yinyin.
He felt a little guilty when being addressed as "brother" or "brother", as it sounded like they were of a different generation.
Chu Yinyin couldn't help but roll her eyes. She patted Allen Chu's shoulder in annoyance and said, "Alright, if you're drunk, go back to the hotel and rest. Don't embarrass me here! Remember what we said tonight. If the conditions offered by the other side are not good enough and make me feel that they don't value our company enough, then I don't care if you are the one who is behind it. Don't blame me if things really break up!"
Chu Huairen shuddered, his chaotic mind cleared up a little, and he nodded quickly, saying, "Don't worry, I will make a serious statement to the higher-ups and make them fully aware of the value and significance of your company. However, this kind of thing will definitely require a period of investigation from the higher-ups. At the very least, they will have to convene some experts to hold a special seminar to thoroughly understand what trend your company can lead, and then make a decision.
After all, this is a strategic-level company, so the decision must be made at the highest level. Unlike regional companies, where local investment intentions are sufficient, don't rush. Proceed at your own pace. I estimate it will take at least a month to come up with a concrete plan. Even if both parties are extremely sincere, negotiations will still take at least another month."
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Chu. We will pretend that nothing happened and let the company develop step by step. But Uncle Chu, don't delay too long, because the development of an Internet company is different from that of an ordinary industrial company.
For industrial companies, two months is a short time, making even the slightest change difficult. But for internet companies, two months is enough time to produce a truly qualitative change. Once a company becomes popular, its momentum is unstoppable.
If the company becomes incredibly popular within two months, the difficulty of related negotiations will rapidly increase. Uncle Chu, you'd better be mentally prepared for this. I certainly have a heart for the country, but I'm not so noble as to be willing to selflessly contribute."
Allen Chu shook his head, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! This is beneficial to you and the country. There will be no obstacles in the process! I will urge you to complete the process as soon as possible and will definitely not let you wait any longer."
"Okay, then I'll wait for news from Uncle Chu."
Chen Yan responded, and then he and Chu Yinyin pushed Allen Chu and the secretary into the taxi they had called.
Chu Yinyin did not follow.
Although Allen Chu was obviously drunk, he was not drunk to the point of losing consciousness.
People who are drunk have similar experiences. For most people, no matter how much they drink, their minds are always tense.
No matter how confused you are, you can always get home.
Only after returning home would I suddenly fall asleep and lose consciousness. When I woke up the next day, I found that I seemed to have lost a lot of my memory of the previous day.
Of course, Allen Chu drank more than the limit, but he had no problem returning to his hotel room safely.
"You...don't have to consider my relationship with my father. His stance is different from mine. If you make this decision because of me, I'll definitely blame myself later. You should know that with the technical capabilities of your team, it's only a matter of time before your company becomes a world-class internet enterprise. It's unfair for you to carve off a large portion of your own profits and offer it to him at this moment in time."
Watching the taxi go away, Chu Yinyin pondered and spoke.
Chen Yan said with a smile, "Don't overthink it. I agreed to your father's terms entirely from the perspective of myself and the company. In fact, there's nothing difficult to accept about your father's terms. As the company grows, the equity structure will inevitably become more complex."
"Trying to keep the company's shares controlled by just you and me is undoubtedly detrimental to its development. Those who seek to monopolize the market never last long; this is an unchanging truth. From a family to a nation, we must always unite the majority."
Chu Yinyin tilted her head and thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Your mind is much clearer than I thought. The key is that you are not like other young people who only see what is in front of them and are often reluctant to give away any of the benefits they have obtained. The company's prospects are really becoming more and more exciting."
