Zhang Pingmin patted my shoulder, stood up and opened the sunshade curtains, and the bright sunshine instantly filled the room.
I got up and walked to the window, admiring the vibrant green plants outside the window.
Wang suddenly said, "Hongjun, although there is a big age gap between you and me, we have become close friends. I admire your loyalty and wit, but I am also worried that your excessive obsession with cleverness will limit your pattern and vision. If I force Shen Hexu as you said today, not only will it be difficult to achieve my wish, but it will hurt you." Wang turned around and looked at me seriously, "The threat technique is only applicable to those who are equal to or stronger than you. When facing a strong person who is far stronger than you, your threat will not make him surrender, but will arouse Wang's anger and uproot you."
놛's words were like enlightenment to me. 늄 I suddenly understood and felt a chill in my heart.
His eyes became extremely sharp: "You know that Nannan and your past is a thorn in Chen Hexu's heart, but you still dare to threaten me to support you. This behavior is fatal!"
I listened with trepidation, fear in my eyes.
He sighed softly, "What I can't tolerate even more is that you actually regarded Nannan as a bargaining chip! This silly girl was wrong after all, and she gave her true feelings to the wrong person."
Hearing this, my face turned pale and I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a rat hole to crawl into.
놛 sighed deeply: "Nannan, this silly child, has become a completely different person since marriage. Her face is haggard and she is taciturn. I see it with my own eyes and it hurts my heart."
My eyes were wet, my heart was broken, and I wanted to slap myself hard. I stammered, "Senior, you are absolutely right. I am fully aware of my mistakes."
Zhang Pingmin noticed the change in my mood, and his tone softened: "Hongjun, when facing a person like Shen Hexu, there is no need to play tricks, and the best strategy is to be honest. You have fulfilled your promise to me, and Nannan has married as scheduled. If you need help from me, just call me and tell me frankly, and I will do my best to help you."
I was so ashamed that my face turned red. I said to Zhang Pingmin, "Brother, I was too reckless and imprudent this time. I'm very sorry." I lowered my head, not daring to look him in the eye, my heart full of regret.
He looked at me with a kinder look in his eyes. He patted my shoulder gently and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all in the past. I know Chen Hexu. Since he promised to help you, he will definitely keep his word and will not break his promise. In my opinion, he will not only greet Yue Mingyuan and smooth the relationship, but also use his own strength and influence to fully support you."
My heart was pounding like a raging sea. An hour ago, I was still complacently planning how to force Shen Hexu to help me, hoping to achieve my goal with my own cleverness. But at this moment, I fell into deep self-blame, feeling ashamed of my previous arrogance and ignorance.
Zhang Pingmin smiled slightly, trying to relieve my embarrassment. Then he cleverly changed the subject and said, "Hongjun, I didn't expect you to come up with this gambling agreement. Come on, tell me your ideas in detail."
I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself, organized my words and said, "After learning that He Zhibin had approached Lin Xun to discuss investment, I immediately found my master Ma and started a negotiation with He Zhibin. We offered 20% of the shares of Daxun Group, which is 6 million shares, and sold them to you at the price of 5 per share according to the agreement. But this is not a simple share transfer, we also attached a bet condition. That is, Daxun Group must successfully list on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's Growth Enterprise Market before January 1, 2011, otherwise my master will repurchase it at the price at the time of transfer and only pay the other party the interest of the bank's interest rate during the same period."
Zhang Pingmin first frowned and fell into deep thought, as if he was carefully weighing the pros and cons of this gambling agreement. Then, his brows relaxed and he laughed out loud: "I have been in venture capital for so many years, and I have signed many gambling agreements. Generally speaking, gambling agreements are used to balance the risks of Party A, which is also the risk of the investor. And the gambling agreement you designed looks like Party B is looking for an excuse to drive Party A away. It's really ingenious."
I laughed too, explaining, "We were forced to do this. Originally, Party B had been begging Party A to invest, but now Party A is forcing us to buy the shares, so we had no choice but to do the opposite. And the transfer price of 5 yuan per share is quite reasonable. I checked the opening price of the same industry companies on the Growth Enterprise Market on that day, and basically none of them were lower than 20 yuan per share."
He nodded in approval: "The transfer price is indeed very attractive. However, have you ever thought about it? If Daxun really succeeds before the New Year next year, your master will suffer a huge loss."
I smiled and said, "You are a veteran in the investment world. How likely is it that you can complete the entire IPO process in less than a month?"
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Da Xun's tutoring has passed the acceptance, and it will take five to eight months to complete the normal process. But don't forget that Yue Mingyuan and others have a huge amount of work, so it is not impossible for them to complete the process in three to four months."
I nodded and said, "We have to make sure you feel there is a chance before we can agree to the terms of the agreement. If the progress is ahead of schedule, we will not reject you if you win. After all, Daxun's success is the most important thing to us."
After hearing what I said, Zhang Pingmin's eyes lit up, as if he saw through my thoughts: "Little brother, you are in a hurry to use the wealth of Daxun Group to get yourself a promotion bargaining chip?"
I laughed and said, "Everyone has their own opinions."
He looked at me with understanding eyes and said slowly: "Little brother, getting promoted and getting rich is everyone's ideal, and there is nothing wrong with that. But I'm afraid you hope to win the bet more, right?"
I smiled calmly and said, "The desire to win is innate. Do you dare to say that you went to the mountains that year not to win the bet against your ex-wife and prove yourself?"
놛's eyes hardened instantly, as if he had returned to the glorious days of the past: "Of course." Then, 놛 laughed and said: "Haha, I fell into the pit you dug again."
I also laughed at myself: "Not only did I dig a hole for you, I almost dug a big hole for myself just now. So, it's really not good to be too competitive."
He waved his hand and said generously, "Let's not talk about that. It's all in the past. You don't know Chen Hexu, so it's understandable that you used a little trick." He stared into my eyes and said seriously, "Hongjun, I still have to remind you that when you win this game, you also reveal your trump card to the other party. The other party will know a lot of your weaknesses, and you will not be prepared. As a bystander, I can vaguely see that your master's shares are inextricably linked to you. Can't you see it?"
I looked relaxed but said firmly, "I just wanted to help Lin Xun, and I was also helping you. After the incident, your wealth increased overnight. As for whether my master suffered a loss, you should use your own scale. Those who are clear will be clear, and those who are turbid will be turbid. I, Guan Hongjun, can stand the investigation."
Seeing that what I said was so convincing, Zhang Pingmin was skeptical: "These shares really have nothing to do with you?"
I showed an innocent look and said firmly, "No!" At this moment, I couldn't help but admire my ability to lie with my eyes wide open without blushing or feeling nervous. At the same time, I secretly persuaded myself: the earnings from those shares belonged to Zhang Fangfang and had nothing to do with me.
Zhang Pingmin nodded with confidence: "I have to remind you one thing, if Yue Mingyuan loses, I won't do anything to you openly because of Shen Hexu's greeting, but I will definitely not swallow this anger willingly in secret. I will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate. For example..."
I took over and said, "For example, let's make the Daxun Group unable to survive."
Nodding, I said firmly: "If I can't get it, no one else can get it. I understand this mentality, but the mountains can't block it, after all, it flows eastward. I believe that the right way in the world is vicissitudes!"
Zhang Pingmin patted my shoulder and said earnestly: "Hongjun, remember what I said. Since you believe in the way of heaven, don't be superstitious about game tactics, but use more homeopathic tactics. The so-called seeking common ground while reserving differences and win-win cooperation are not zero-sum games. In this world, no one can succeed alone. Only by working together can we go further."
I was moved when I heard it, and a warm current surged in my heart. This is not just a piece of advice, but also the direction forward pointed out to me by an old veteran with his rich experience and wisdom.
These words reminded me of a story I read before: In hell, a group of people sat around a pot of hot soup, each holding a long-handled iron spoon. Because the handle of the spoon was too long, they were unable to get the soup into their mouths. Although they fought desperately for it, they were always wailing with hunger, their faces were distorted, and they were trapped in a selfish dilemma. In heaven, they have the same long spoon and hot soup, but with smiles on their faces. After scooping up the soup with a long spoon, they automatically fed it to the person opposite them. By cooperating with each other, everyone was full. This story tells us profoundly that hell is a selfish struggle and heaven is a win-win situation. Those who benefit themselves will eventually benefit themselves, and mutual assistance is the ultimate answer to breaking through the difficulties of survival.
