"The people introduced by President Su are undoubtedly excellent in both character and talent."
Li Lixin smiled slightly and said, "However, on the other hand, the requirements for this cooperation are very strict in all aspects, and I believe that Mr. Jiang is definitely capable of handling the task, after all, he was personally introduced by President Su."
Since Li Lixin had said that, Jiang Sheng knew that he had not yet truly gained the other party's trust and recognition.
After all, this was only their first meeting today. Whether he had the talent and ability to achieve it remained to be seen until after the dinner, when Li Lixin would make his decision.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li."
Just then, Jiang Sheng stepped forward and introduced himself to Li Lixin.
“My name is Jiang Sheng. I’m a friend of President Su. Since President Su is willing to give me this opportunity today, I certainly won’t let President Su lose face in front of Manager Li.”
Li Lixin was taken aback at first, not expecting the young man in front of him to speak so bluntly. Seeing that the other party looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, he was somewhat skeptical, but he didn't show it.
“Of course,” Li Lixin chuckled and shook hands with Jiang Sheng. “I trust President Su’s judgment. But then again, let’s not talk here at the entrance. Why don’t we go inside and talk?”
Jiang Sheng nodded in agreement and introduced Zhao Defu to him. The three of them then entered the Yanjing Hotel and went to the private room they had booked in advance on the third floor.
After everyone was seated, Su Xuehua and Manager Li each ordered their food.
Jiang Sheng and Zhao Defu also ordered a few dishes as a token gesture, and they chatted politely while the dishes were being served.
“I heard from President Su that,” Li Lixin said with a smile, looking at Jiang Sheng and subtly inquiring, “that President Jiang is the founder of Shengde Company. I’ve lived in Yanjing for so many years and have never heard of this company before. It seems that President Jiang just founded it, right?”
After all, Jiang Sheng looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, and anyone would think that way.
Since the other party had asked, Jiang Sheng didn't hide anything and readily nodded in agreement.
Not only that, he even made it clear to both Li Lixin and Su Xuehua.
"To be honest, I only have one Shengde Canned Food Processing Plant, which is currently closed."
Under the surprised gaze of the other party, Jiang Sheng paused for a moment and then revealed his purpose in detail.
"Because we are also planning to transform our factory, on the surface, it looks to outsiders that our factory has gone bankrupt due to poor management. In fact, it is because the canned food market is now close to saturation. We plan to wisely shut down the canned food processing plant before it becomes unsustainable and poorly managed."
"Our current goal is to enter the children's industry, especially in children's toys and children's food."
Jiang Sheng smiled slightly, meeting their surprised gazes with neither arrogance nor servility, showing no sign of tension or worry.
"You two can easily find out by asking around that we were engaged in a fierce business war with the Chen Group not long ago. Guanghao Canned Food Processing Plant, a subsidiary of the Chen Group, used unfair means to seize a large share of the market."
"So we don't plan to continue operating it, because canning plants won't be as popular as they are in the next few years."
"Although we call it Shengde Company, we haven't actually registered or applied for the company yet, but we plan to register it in about a month."
After listening to Jiang Sheng's introduction, Li Lixin looked at the confident young man in front of him and was both surprised and taken aback.
The boy looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old; he was clearly a recent college student.
Yet this very young man had already run a cannery.
Although outsiders believe the cannery has gone out of business, they are ignoring one fact.
That means Jiang Shengcai was only eighteen years old when he was able to achieve this level. Other people his age would never be able to achieve what Jiang Shengcai has accomplished.
Although the business has failed, it shows that Jiang Sheng still has some business talent. However, he was young and impetuous, and some of his methods were still a bit immature, which is why he failed to win this business war.
Li Lixin took this for granted, unaware that Jiang Sheng had deliberately lost this business battle.
As for Su Xuehua standing next to her, she hadn't expected Jiang Sheng to be so capable than she had imagined.
With a hint of surprise, Su Xuehua raised an eyebrow and, without suppressing her doubts, asked him directly.
"You seem very confident, but registering a company requires a lot of capital. Your factory is currently closed. Once we confirm the funds you have on hand, will you have enough left to operate and manage the company after it's established?"
Su Xuehua also voiced the question that had been on Li Lixin's mind.
However, Li Lixin was too embarrassed to point it out directly, while Su Xuehua was very straightforward and made the most crucial point clear.
After all, we're going to be working together. If we don't ask the right questions, and something goes wrong, it could affect both companies.
So, after Su Xuehua asked that question, Li Lixin hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Mr. Su is right. Starting a company is not as simple as you think, young man."
"Even if you do have the funds to start and register a company, the subsequent operation and management of the company will still cost a lot of money. If you don't understand the relevant company management, you still won't be able to run it properly."
Jiang Sheng simply smiled faintly at this.
“I know what President Su and Manager Li are worried about. Although the company has been shut down, I have accumulated one million in initial capital.”
Amidst the shocked gazes of the two, Jiang Sheng continued to speak calmly.
"During the four months we operated the cannery, our monthly net profit reached 250,000 yuan. Although the factory has been shut down, we are still paying our workers' wages on time every month."
"If we cooperate with your company, Manager Li will not have to worry about labor issues at all."
"After registering the company, we even have surplus working capital to operate and manage the company. From any perspective, our company is definitely the best choice for your company."
After Jiang Sheng uttered these last words, he finally put Manager Li's mind at ease.
