Hiss——
He pinched his forehead hard and lay there for a while before he recovered.
"How did I get back last night? Oh, it was Old Tang..."
He gradually remembered what happened last night. After leaving Bai Jinxuan, he felt upset and went out to drink with Old Tang. He didn't know how much he drank, but he remembered that he kept drinking and almost never stopped.
"I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said, did I?"
He vaguely remembered that after drinking a few glasses of wine, he couldn't control himself and talked a lot to Old Tang. There were some things he had never said to anyone else.
Including things with Luo Xiyun, Yang Jinxia, and Bai Jinxuan.
He still remembered what happened before he got completely drunk, like the matter about the three women, which he talked about very tactfully and didn't reveal anything about the dream device. But he didn't remember what was said afterwards.
However, given his condition, even if he said something, Old Tang probably wouldn't take it seriously and would just think he was talking drunkenly.
He lay down for a while and felt better, but his mouth was very dry. He stood up and walked to the living room, drank a glass of boiled water, and finally felt much better.
He glanced at the time and it was already past seven o'clock.
He took a shower, changed his clothes, went downstairs to have breakfast, and walked to the noodle shop.
The noodle shop was already open and all the employees were there. He walked straight to the office, pushed open the door, and saw Secretary Jin inside.
"Boss." Secretary Jin greeted him politely as usual.
Seeing that she looked normal and there was nothing unusual about her, Chen Xu nodded and said, "Good morning."
He sat down opposite her and said, "Last night..."
"Last night?" Secretary Jin blinked and said, "I got off work as usual last night. After returning home, I didn't go out and didn't meet anyone."
Chen Xu was stunned at first, then he understood what she meant. She was saying that she didn't see what happened yesterday and wouldn't tell anyone else.
He glanced at her, nodded, and passed over the matter. "Are you ready for today's negotiation?"
"Everything is ready. I will definitely strive for the best conditions." Secretary Jin felt relieved when she saw his expression, knowing that she had passed the test for the time being.
She didn't sleep well the whole night, thinking about how to explain to her boss that she wouldn't say anything nonsense. Originally, it was best to use hints for such things. However, she was worried that her boss wouldn't get her hints.
So she said it bluntly, not caring whether it would have a counterproductive effect or not.
Now it seems that she made the right bet.
At ten o'clock, people from Jinyun Group came. In addition to Jiang Yan, there was also a manager named Huang who held a higher position. He was also the main person in charge of the subsequent negotiations, and Jiang Yan seemed to have become his deputy.
At first, Chen Xu felt a little nervous, wondering if Jinyun Group had discovered the affair between him and Jiang Yan, so they sent another person to take charge?
Soon, he found that the terms that Manager Huang talked about were almost the same as what was agreed upon before, and there were no changes in the general direction. Only some minor terms were discussed in more detail.
After a day of discussion, the two parties finally reached an agreement and formally signed the contract. The person responsible for the signing was Manager Huang.
Chen Xu finally understood that this Manager Huang was the one Jiang Yan had asked to sign the contract to cover up her relationship with the 2003 Noodle House. Even if the people from Jinyun Group investigated, they would not be able to find her.
Jiang Yan invested 5 million yuan, and Chen Xu invested technology and formula to establish Xuyang Company, each holding half of the shares. In addition, Jiang Yan provided Chen Xu with a loan of 1 million yuan.
Then, Xuyang Company invested 5 million, Jinyun Group invested 7 million, and Chen Xu invested 2 million to establish Jinxu Company. Jinyun Group held 50%, Xuyang held 35%, and Chen Xu personally held 15% and had control over the operation rights.
But in fact, he had no control over the company. Although the agreement stated that Jinyun Group would not interfere with his operations, there was a prerequisite that the company's annual revenue and profit growth must meet a certain standard.
If he fails to meet this standard, he will have to give up his position as general manager.
On the other hand, if he can exceed the target, Jinyun Group and Xuyang Company will sell a certain proportion of shares to him at a fixed preferential price in the future.
It's equivalent to a bet agreement.
…………
"Boss, you seem a little worried."
After seeing off the people from Jinyun Group, only Chen Xu and Secretary Jin were left in the office. Looking at his expression, Secretary Jin asked.
Chen Xu shook his head. "I just don't like the feeling of not being in control of this kind of thing."
Secretary Jin was a little confused. In her opinion, the one who gained the most from this cooperation was her, the boss, followed by Jiang Yan. The one who suffered the most, of course, was Jinyun Group.
In the business world, it is impossible to control everything. Others are not fools and will not give up all control.
For someone like Chen Xu, being able to gain relative control is already a huge success.
The most important thing is that Chen Xu paid almost no price, just provided a brand that only two companies have, and a formula.
The funds he used to invest were all lent to him by Jiang Yan, and he could repay them from the profits of Xuyang Company in the future. It was a perfect way to get something for nothing. It was definitely the proudest work of her career.
Chen Xu also understood that if he continued with his conservative approach as before and opened one branch after another, it would take an unknown amount of time before he could achieve wealth and status that matched Luo Xiyun and Bai Jinxuan.
Ever since he knew about Luo Xiyun's family background, he felt a sense of pressure in his heart, and Bai Jinxuan, who was becoming more and more popular. As time went by, he felt the pressure from all around him was increasing, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
It was this anxiety that made him decide to take a risk and cooperate with Jinyun Group. There are risks involved, but at the same time, it is also a huge opportunity.
After the new company was established, it had 14 million in funds, the assistance of professionals like Secretary Jin, and the channels and publicity and promotion capabilities of the Jinyun Group. The development speed of the 2003 brand was definitely ten or a hundred times faster than his previous plan.
At that time, he would introduce a new investor at the right time to compete with Jinyun Group. In this way, his control over Jinxu Company could be further strengthened.
In the cooperation between the two parties, there is an agreement on capital increase. It was designed by Jinyun Group to dilute his equity in the future. On the other hand, he can also use this clause to dilute the equity of Jinyun Group. It depends on who has better skills.
"Okay, you've been tired these days. Go back early today and have a good rest. You will be busy in the future." Chen Xu quickly controlled his emotions and said to Secretary Jin.
"Okay, boss. I'll be leaving now."
Secretary Jin was in a good mood. After the new company was established, she became the general manager's assistant. Although her annual salary did not increase and remained the same as before, she was very satisfied to get a new job. Besides, the position of assistant could be an important springboard for her.
Her hard work and dedication over the past few days have finally paid off.
However, she felt a little discouraged when she thought of her boss. People are really different. Compared with what her boss got, her reward was nothing.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset, as she had gotten used to working for others over the years.
