Although Li Cheng had indirectly helped Weng Shirui make a lot of money and even made him the general manager, Weng Xiaozhu still didn't believe her brother would reduce his holdings by half all at once.
Isn't bargaining about negotiating little by little? It's unprofessional to reveal your cards right away.
Because of this thought, Weng Xiaozhu asked in disbelief, "Is it true? Even if you want to repay Li Cheng, you don't have to do this, right?"
Weng Xiaozhu believes that business is business, and this business apparently has no interest relationship with Li Cheng.
"It's fake. I just wanted to see if he would use that incident to pressure me."
When Weng Xiaozhu heard this, she was amused by him and thought to herself, "I knew you wouldn't be so unprofessional. But my brother is doubting Li Cheng's character!"
In fact, Weng Shirui did not doubt Li Cheng's character, but he did not want to owe favors to others, even if it was an indirect favor.
Weng Xiaozhu said, "Brother, don't worry. Li Cheng has always been a person who does good without expecting anything in return."
This made Li Cheng sound like a fool. But Weng Xiaozhu was right. Li Cheng would never use favors to pressure others.
What Li Cheng does more often is exchange, trading one thing for another, which is fundamentally different from interpersonal relationships.
There's a sense of camaraderie in human relationships, and this camaraderie can sometimes compromise fairness. However, exchanging one thing for another is based on mutual consent, so even if it seems unfair to outsiders, as long as both parties agree it's fair, that's fine.
Doing things this way is not tiring, and not only will it not be tiring, there will be no complaints of unfairness afterwards, which will ultimately damage the harmony.
"Brother, you don't believe it, do you? Let me tell you, many people around Li Cheng made money from that big stock market event."
Weng Shirui didn't say anything, just looked at his little sister. In fact, at this moment, he was thinking that those who were around Li Cheng were blessed people.
"But Li Cheng never put on airs in front of us afterwards..."
This is true. Not only did Li Cheng not put on airs in front of them, he also tried his best not to let them feel that he owed him a favor.
"On the contrary, he continued to help us. Now many people, including your younger sister, are multi-millionaires..."
Weng Shirui didn't say anything, but looked at Li Cheng who was standing not far away and watching the sea alone.
"Brother, I think if you reduce your holdings to the amount Li Cheng wants, you can make Li Cheng owe you a favor."
Weng Shirui frowned and looked at Weng Xiaozhu.
"Brother, based on my understanding of Li Cheng, he will definitely repay you this favor quietly somewhere else. He is just like that, he never lets anyone suffer any loss."
Weng Xiaozhu's words touched Weng Shirui's heart. All he wanted was to get Li Cheng to make the biggest concession on the next project.
The grass-gray silver thread and the thousand-mile layout, Weng Shirui made such a high request at this time just to make Li Cheng owe him a favor.
He knew that as long as Li Cheng owed him this favor, his future plan could be implemented smoothly.
I didn’t expect that Weng Xiaozhu also thought of this. They are indeed born of the same mother.
Weng Shirui pretended to be profound, as if he was having a great psychological struggle.
Just when Weng Xiaozhu was getting anxious, he said decisively: "Okay, go tell him that I will halve my holdings."
Weng Xiaozhu was delighted and quickly returned to Li Cheng...
Li Cheng came over and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Weng. The drop from 70% to 35% is quite a big one!"
Weng Shirui thought to himself that the bigger the gap, the more you owe me.
"Oh, Mr. Weng, I'm still not satisfied..."
Weng Shirui's eyes widened, thinking, "What else do you want? Do you want me to send someone here with money to do it for you for free?"
"Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu is here, her face..."
Weng Shirui understood that the place where Li Cheng was standing just now was downwind, and he heard the conversation between him and his younger sister.
Weng Shirui glared at him and said, "Thirty-four percent."
Li Cheng smiled, extended his hand and said, "Mr. Weng, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
Weng Xiaozhu, who was standing next to them, had a dark look on her face, thinking that her face was really worthless in the eyes of these two people.
Weng Shirui shook Li Cheng's hand somewhat reluctantly. Then, he pulled Li Cheng away...
When Weng Xiaozhu saw that they had something to whisper to each other, she called out "Brother" and then looked at them angrily.
Weng Shirui ignored her and pulled Li Cheng away. He looked at Li Cheng embarrassedly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
From the "Brother" that Weng Xiaozhu had just called him, Li Cheng knew that what Weng Shirui wanted to say must be related to Weng Xiaozhu. Sure enough, Weng Shirui asked, "What is your relationship with Xiaozhu?"
Li Cheng glanced at Weng Xiaozhu, then turned and said, "It's not the kind of relationship you think."
Weng Shirui was stunned for a moment and thought, isn’t it?
"Xiaozhu and I are business partners, the kind of partners who can trust each other. Beyond that, we are close friends, but not the kind of relationship you think."
Weng Shirui was relieved. He didn't want his younger sister to meet a scumbag, nor did he want her to become someone else's concubine.
"Except for my mother's death, Xiaozhu has refused to go home in these years. What happened back then is over, but the Weng family has never forgotten her. Director Li, if possible, can you persuade her to go home, or go home more often to visit? Someone at home misses her."
Li Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Weng Shirui held Li Cheng's hand and said "thank you" gratefully.
It was already past six in the afternoon when they returned from the port. Li Cheng took Weng Shirui to the barbecue restaurant to eat barbecue and drink the newly released draft beer.
Weng Shirui enjoyed the meal and drinks very happily. When he learned that the barbecue city was also founded by Li Cheng and that Li Cheng was the actual controller of the land here, Weng Shirui immediately had an idea, which was to establish a strategic partnership with Li Cheng.
Weng Shirui is a very sensitive person, otherwise, he would not have mortgaged all his shares in the Weng Group in exchange for huge funds for stock speculation.
He clearly realized that Li Cheng in front of him was already the most powerful person in this city.
Investing in a textile group or a port in the future were minor matters. Holding on to Li Cheng, and people like him, was the real deal.
That night, Weng Shirui did not stay in Shibaqu Lane, but stayed in the presidential suite prepared for him by the city's reception department at Pengfei Hotel.
As usual, Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu wanted to take him to his room and chat for a while before leaving. However, Weng Shirui said that he couldn't sleep and wanted to keep them to chat.
Li Cheng joked, "Can't sleep? That's because you didn't drink enough."
Weng Shirui walked to the wine cabinet, took a look, and then chose a bottle of red wine.
"Okay, drink this one more bottle, and whether you can sleep or not, we'll go our separate ways."
Li Cheng said "OK", and Weng Xiaozhu also brought over three high-heeled glasses.
So the three of them sat behind the window, enjoying the night view of the city while drinking wine.
After half a bottle of wine disappeared, Weng Shirui suddenly said, "Li Cheng, don't you think this city is too small?"
