Huo Qianli held the spatula and silently watched the vegetables and meat in the pot sizzling and emitting fragrance under the roasting flames.
Soon, Huo Qianli brought back several dishes and smiled as he invited Mr. Cai to eat and drink.
After two more glasses of wine, Mr. Cai looked at Huo Qianli and said, "Twenty-five million."
Huo Qianli paused while picking up the food and thought for a moment, "Twenty million."
Mr. Cai laughed, "Why are there still people trying to lower the price?"
Huo Qianli said solemnly: "The total investment will follow the existing model. You, the old man, will contribute 20 million, accounting for 51% of the shares, and our government will contribute 10 million, accounting for 49% of the shares. We will jointly establish a platform company to be responsible for the operation and development of the entire project. How do you think?"
Mr. Cai fell into deep thought.
Huo Qianli went on to explain: "What the old man said just now gave me a lot of inspiration. Rural tourism cannot stand without the countryside. Our industrial development and integration, the deep participation of villagers, and even the coordination of land procedures, etc., will be much more convenient with the participation of our government. The old man just needs to use his own expertise to concentrate on operation and management, which is actually beneficial to both parties."
Mr. Cai narrowed his eyes. "Are you worried that I'll take over the project and mess things up, making it impossible for your original design to be implemented?"
"Yes and no." Huo Qianli said sincerely: "If I rejected Mr. Yang's proposal, which was so good and at least looked so tempting, from the perspective of people's hearts, I should at least come up with a better plan to convince the public."
He looked at the old man in front of him who was wearing a shabby military coat but could casually take out tens of millions of dollars. "Based on the conversation with Mr. Cai, and after the discussion just now, I think the old man is also a person who truly cares about the countryside. He also hopes to make contributions to the countryside while making profits for himself. That's why I am willing to make this suggestion."
Then he smiled bitterly and said very frankly, "Of course, if the old man doesn't agree, I will just have to accept the 25 million. At the same time, I won't be less grateful, and I won't be less cooperative."
Mr. Cai held the wine glass in his hand and was silent for a moment. Suddenly he looked up at him and asked, "What do you think of my son?"
Huo Qianli had a flash of doubt in his mind, then he smiled, "It would be great if Mr. Cai could be the general manager of this platform company!"
A broad smile bloomed on Mr. Cai's weather-beaten face, and he raised his glass towards Huo Qianli.
