Li Feng's heart skipped a beat; he knew Old Wang's proposal was not simple. Old Wang was always shrewd and wouldn't easily propose cooperation unless he saw greater benefits.
“Old Wang, your suggestion is very appealing. However, I need time to consider it. Let’s meet tomorrow and discuss it in detail,” Li Feng said.
"Okay, see you at the usual place at 3 PM tomorrow." Old Wang hung up the phone after saying that.
Li Feng put down his phone, pondering to himself. Old Wang's suggestion was tempting, but it might conceal a larger conspiracy. He had to be careful.
The next afternoon, Li Feng arrived at the agreed location on time. It was a high-end teahouse in the center of Jiangcheng, with a quiet environment suitable for discussing business.
Old Wang was already waiting there. When he saw Li Feng, he immediately came up to him and said, "Li Feng, you've arrived."
After the two sat down, Old Wang got straight to the point: "Li Feng, I know you value this project highly. I have some resources and channels that can help you advance the project faster. However, I need some guarantees."
Li Feng smiled slightly: "Old Wang, you've always been shrewd, of course I know you won't do a losing deal. Tell me your terms."
Old Wang pondered for a moment: "I need 30% of the shares in this project. In addition, I hope to be involved in the project's decision-making."
Li Feng was startled; he hadn't expected Old Wang to propose such harsh conditions. He knew that agreeing would mean losing absolute control of the project.
"Old Wang, your conditions are a bit demanding. I need time to consider them," Li Feng said.
Old Wang seemed to have anticipated this: "Li Feng, I understand your concerns. However, I can guarantee that as long as you agree to my conditions, I will fully support this project."
Li Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Old Wang, I can agree to your conditions, but I also have one request."
"What are the requirements?" Old Wang asked.
“I need you to provide some resources to help me investigate Mr. Zhao’s recent movements,” Li Feng said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Old Wang's eyes: "President Zhao? Has he made any moves lately?"
“Yes, he has recently been in frequent contact with some unidentified individuals, and I suspect he may be plotting some actions that are detrimental to us,” Li Feng said.
Old Wang pondered for a moment: "Okay, I can help you. However, I need time to prepare."
“No problem, let’s each prepare and meet again in a week,” Li Feng said.
The two shook hands and reached a preliminary agreement, although they both knew in their hearts that this was only a temporary cooperation and the future was still full of uncertainties.
