Chen Ze watched as Lan Shuiyao drove away.
Zhao Youde drove the company's Rolls-Royce over, Chen Ze opened the car door and got in, Shen Xiyu followed closely behind, and then casually closed the car door.
"Knock knock knock!"
Someone knocked on the car window. Chen Ze glanced at it and, upon recognizing Zeng Bojian, rolled down the window.
"When did you two come down?" Chen Ze asked with a smile.
"Boss, I just arrived in Shenzhen. I came to work right after dropping off my luggage and just happened to see you. By the way, boss, what should I do with the dirt on Liu Lirong that I have?"
“Spend some money on Weibo to hire dozens of online trolls and have them expose the dirt on Liu Lirong tomorrow. Then spend more money on reporters in several first-tier cities in China and have them spread the news that Liu Lirong lost 2.3 billion yuan gambling.”
"Boss, it will cost a lot of money to ask reporters for help. Of the one million you gave us last time, only fifty thousand is left, which may not be enough."
Chen Ze held out his hand. "Give me that bank card."
Zeng Bojian took the card out of his wallet and handed it to him.
Chen Ze opened his laptop, inserted his online banking card, transferred three million to the card, and then returned the card to him. He figured it would cost a lot of money to get the media to leak the story, so Chen Ze gave him a little more at once.
"If that's not enough, call me again. Oh, and remember to let me know when you break the news tomorrow."
"Okay, boss."
After Zeng Bojian left, he instructed Zhao Youde: "Uncle De, go to Xiangya Battery Company in Longhua District."
The car sped onto the main road and headed towards Longhua.
Shen Xiyu lowered the chair and table, then took out her laptop and put it on, starting to read the news from the Shanghai Finance Channel.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on the screen; it was none other than Liu Lirong.
Chen Ze, who was next to her, also looked at it, and he leaned closer to Shen Xiyu to look as well.
On TV, a financial channel host interviewed him, and Liu Lirong, without batting an eye, boasted about Gionee phones, saying that Gionee phones had a bright future and that sales were expected to reach ten million units by the end of the year.
So only Gionee himself knows the true situation of the mobile phone business; the other two shareholders are still kept in the dark about his financial losses.
"Boss, we've arrived at Xiangya Battery Company."
Zhao Youde had already opened the car door for him.
Chen Ze stepped out of the car and walked into the office with steady steps.
The receptionist greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
Chen Ze nodded and asked, "Is your General Manager Li here?"
"Mr. Li is receiving people from Gionee Mobile Company."
Oh, the Gionee representatives are here again. It seems that the quality of Xiangya batteries is getting better and better, and the Gionee people are still not giving up and are here to negotiate again.
Chen Ze arrived at the VIP reception room, knocked on the door, and went inside.
Upon seeing Chen Ze arrive, Li Weihai immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "President Chen, you've arrived. Let me introduce you. This gentleman opposite me is Mr. Jin, the major shareholder of Gionee."
Chen Ze stepped forward, extended his hand, and greeted him politely: "President Jin, welcome to Xiangya Battery. Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Ze, and I am the major shareholder of Xiangya Battery."
Upon hearing that he was a major shareholder of Xiangya Battery, General Manager Jin stood up, shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "General Manager Chen is truly young and promising."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two continued their negotiations.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, we have verifiable sales data for Gionee phones. We are currently number one in sales nationwide, so cooperating with us would definitely be a win-win situation."
Li Weihai said seriously, "President Jin, cooperation is possible, but our company does not accept contracts that require payment upfront. This is also a requirement of Mr. Chen, the major shareholder of Xiangya Battery."
Mr. Jin hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, delaying payment for goods is just an industry practice. It helps Gionee better plan its cash flow. It's not just our company that does this; it's the same process for all companies, big and small, in Shenzhen."
Little did people know that Xiangya Battery was only targeting Gionee phones; other companies were given a one-month backlog of payments.
Chen Ze smiled slightly and continued to banter with him: "President Jin, the quality of Xiangya batteries is well-known in the industry. We don't have to worry about sales. Right now, the batteries from counterfeit mobile phones alone are enough to make us rich."
"Mr. Chen, how about this? Other battery and screen manufacturers, almost all of our suppliers, have to hold back payment for three months. Today, I'm making the decision to only hold back payment for two months for Xiangya Battery."
"Mr. Jin, to be honest, I'm not interested in Gionee's battery orders. I'm more interested in your Gionee shares. I wonder if you're willing to sell them?"
Mr. Jin narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "Why isn't this young man playing by the rules? I'm here to discuss orders, but he's thinking of buying my shares."
Gionee phones are currently at their peak, and his 30% stake is worth billions. How could he possibly sell it? Is this guy out of his mind?
At the same time, he felt a surge of contempt for Chen Ze. Even if I wanted to sell my shares, could you fucking afford them?
Mr. Jin decided to teach this arrogant young man a lesson.
So he stretched out his hand and spread five fingers: "Fifty billion, Mr. Chen. I have 30 percent of Gionee's shares. If you have the money to buy them, I will transfer them to you immediately."
"Fifty billion?" Chen Ze smiled and shook his head: "President Jin, Gionee phones are probably not worth that price. If you are really willing to sell, I am willing to take over your shares for five hundred million now."
"Bang—"
President Jin slammed his hand on the conference table and roared, "President Chen, what do you mean? How dare you insult me at such a young age?"
"No, no, Mr. Jin, you misunderstand. I didn't mean to insult you. In January, your 30% stake in Gionee was indeed worth 5 billion, but it's not worth that much now."
"As far as I know, Mr. Liu Lirong, the largest shareholder of Gionee, lost billions of yuan gambling in Saipan before the Lunar New Year. He has already gambled away Gionee's cash flow. If someone exposes this, Gionee mobile phones will probably collapse very soon."
“Impossible!” President Kim roared.
Chen Ze said confidently, "Whether it's true or not, Mr. Jin can simply call and ask."
Seeing Chen Ze's calm expression, President Jin couldn't help but waver. In order to prove that Chen Ze was lying, he immediately called his partner Liu Lirong.
However, the other party refused to admit it and said that Chen Ze was spreading rumors.
After hanging up the phone, President Jin stared intently at him: "President Chen, my partner did not lose all the money as you said. I don't know what your intentions are in spreading such rumors."
Chen Ze pulled a business card from his wallet and handed it to him, looking calm and composed: "President Jin, if you doubt the truth of what I'm saying, you might as well go back to the company and check the company's finances. If I'm not mistaken, your company probably doesn't have a single penny in its accounts right now."
Hearing Chen Ze say this, he suddenly felt uneasy. After all, he knew that Liu Lirong liked to gamble, because Liu Lirong often gambled with suppliers in the office.
