"More than two billion!"
Lu Fan smiled and said to Zhang Qingyi.
I felt relieved that I hadn't continued working with Kwong Pui-sang. A single transaction could have resulted in a difference of over a billion dollars.
Huanmei Group is truly heartless!
However, Lu Fan stopped complaining now. If the other party hadn't been struggling with cash flow, he really wouldn't have been able to secure this project. The other businessmen who invested in the project were also right.
Lu Fan does indeed like to eat alone, at least that way he can ensure he won't get ripped off!
Zhang Qingyi was both angry and shocked.
Like several experts, she never expected that Huanmei Group, known as "573," was profiting from both ends.
If it weren't for Lu Fan's explanation, they would never have been able to figure this out in their entire lives.
Zhang Qingyi cursed under his breath, then looked at Lu Fan expectantly:
"Mr. Lu, I know what you wanted to do by contacting me privately." "I'm different from the experts; I'm more pragmatic. So before we discuss the project, let's first finalize the penalty for breach of contract and the investment amount."
She described herself as pragmatic, as if she were more resilient to pressure and more knowledgeable about these intricacies than the experts.
But Lu Fan also saw through her lack of experience and her outward strength masking inner weakness. She was very similar to Wang Wei back then.
But undoubtedly, it was a higher starting point than Wang Wei's.
Lu Fan had always wanted to invest in this project, but now that the other investors had withdrawn, he wanted to take it all for himself and secure the project on his own.
Therefore, whether he is optimistic about the project or Zhang Qingyi as a person, it doesn't matter to him:
"I have money, and I can handle projects on my own."
"It's just a difference between investing a billion or two billion. Now, shouldn't you show me your business plan?"
When the proposal was brought to him by Mr. Kuang of Huanmei Group, many parts involved trade secrets, so Lu Fan was essentially navigating uncharted territory.
While the promising development prospects are evident, the specific terms and research and development process remain quite vague.
He had already seen the pile of materials Zhang Qingyi had brought, and it seemed he was even more generous than Kuang Peisheng.
Zhang Qingyi had given copies of these documents to Kuang Peisheng before, so he didn't think they were any kind of secrets.
Since Lu Fan needed it, she gave it to him without hesitation.
They also introduced several experts:
"Professor Tan Yuan has been conducting research on automotive batteries abroad. His contract with the lab had already expired, but because he forgot to submit a voluntary resignation application, it was 'automatically renewed' for another year."
"However, Professor Tan refused this unfair contract, citing his advanced age and desire to return to China to develop his career, and was willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract to return to China."
"Most of the other professors and doctors are from the same school as Professor Tan Yuan, or are students of several professors."
"The teachers want to return to China because they feel that there is still a gap in the development of this area in China. Whether it is for their ideals or to get a piece of this unique cake, they have come back with them."
Lu Fan quickly glanced through the materials Zhang Qingyi had brought, asking questions as he read:
"Based on your understanding of these experts, is this project feasible?" Zhang Qingyi didn't expect Lu Fan to ask such a low-tech question.
How should she answer?
To say it's feasible and has great potential is like a vendor bragging about their wares. But if you yourself say it's impossible, aren't you clearly trying to sabotage the project?
Zhang Qingyi considered for a moment before speaking:
"If the funding is in place, the experts are capable of building their own team to independently develop new energy batteries."
Lu Fan calmly nodded and said to Zhang Qingyi:
"I'll give you an answer after I've reviewed the materials in detail." Zhang Qingyi was somewhat disappointed, but this was to be expected. So she stood up to leave.
When Li Tian heard the last part, he stood up and saw her out of the office building.
Seeing Zhang Qingyi looking somewhat dejected on the way, Li Tian smiled and confidently said to Zhang Qingyi:
"Just go back and wait for our notification. You don't need to contact the previous investors anymore."
Seeing that Zhang Qingyi was still looking at him with confusion, Li Tian smiled and pointed upwards, explaining:
"Our CEO Lu is a typical rich and powerful tycoon, with more money than he can spend."
"Since he is interested in your project, he will definitely invest in it in the end."
After that, the elevator arrived at the twenty-third floor.
Li Tianchong 0.9 Zhang Qingyi nodded and went back to his office.
Zhang Qingyi continued riding the elevator down, unsure whether to believe what Mr. Li had said.
Leaving aside Zhang Qingyi's dilemma.
Wang Wei has returned to the sales department to attend a formal meeting with distributors.
These distributors had been very interested in Lu's Food Factory since rumors first circulated about Shengjing Company's targeting of it.
However, due to Shengjing Company's unfair terms, no one dared to make a move.
Shengjing Company is now in decline, while Lu's sales are soaring despite the crackdown on software.
Who can't see the situation clearly?
