The two talked for an hour, and Chen Ze only raised the price for them by a little bit. Boss Jin was both helpless and frustrated. As long as there was any hope for Gionee phones, he would never let a heartless boss like Chen Ze take advantage of him.
After whispering a few words to the other two, General Manager Jin agreed to Chen Ze's price. Then, Secretary Shen placed the printed contract on the table.
Mr. Jin and Mr. Huang each received 320 million yuan for 30% of the shares, while Liu Lirong received 420 million yuan for 40% of the shares.
After the three signed the contract, it felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off their shoulders, and they no longer had to worry about the debt collectors.
Upon receiving the shares of Gionee, Chen Ze opened his laptop and transferred the money to the three of them.
A short while later, Liu Lirong and his two companions saw that the money had been deposited into their accounts and then left the Nanshan Building.
Chen Xiyu asked, "Boss, is it worth spending 1 billion yuan to buy a bankrupt mobile phone brand?"
Chen Ze smiled faintly: "Of course it's worth it. First of all, it's very difficult to obtain a mobile phone production license. Also, there are hundreds of Gionee mobile phone stores across the country, and the sales channels are very important. Last year, Gionee sold five million mobile phones, making it the national sales champion."
“As long as we produce the products, we can sell them directly without having to develop the market, which saves a lot of money on promotion.”
After listening, Chen Xiyu nodded thoughtfully.
In the afternoon, Chen Ze arrived at the Jiangnan Drone Company, a five-story standalone factory building that has been rented entirely by Wang Tao, the founder of Jiangnan Drone.
Knock on the door and enter Wang Tao's office to find him tinkering with a large drone by himself.
"Mr. Chen, please make yourself at home. I'll wait until I'm done with my work."
"Mr. Wang, how's the company's performance lately?"
Wang Tao smiled and said, "The performance is excellent, with orders already booked for the whole year and profits very high. I plan to raise another round of financing and then expand production."
"How much funding are you looking for? Has your company been valued?"
"Mr. Chen, Sequoia Capital contacted me yesterday, offering a valuation of 1 billion yuan. I'm planning to offer 10% of my shares in exchange. Would you like to continue investing?"
Chen Ze did not hesitate at all: "Of course I will. I personally admire you very much, Mr. Wang. Rather than investing in Jiangnan drones, I am investing in you as a person. If it were someone like Liu Lirong of Gionee, I would definitely turn around and leave."
Wang Tao laughed and said, "That guy's affair has caused a huge uproar and everyone knows about it. He ruined a perfectly good opportunity. I don't think someone like him is fit to run a business."
With Chen Ze's investment, DJ Robotics has grown very rapidly. In just a short time, its market value has reached 1 billion RMB, which is simply insane.
"Mr. Wang, have you agreed to Sequoia Capital's investment?"
"Not yet. Their demands are too high. They said they would only invest in me if I gave up at least 20% of my shares, so I haven't agreed to them yet."
“They didn’t invest in the best option. In my heart, I really dislike foreign capital. Mr. Wang, I’ve invested 10% of the shares. Based on a valuation of 1 billion, I’ll give 100 million. Adding to the previous 20% shares, I’ll invest an additional 180 million.”
"In other words, I need to transfer 280 million to the company. Mr. Wang, please check if there are any errors."
After calculating with a calculator, Wang Tao nodded. Then, he printed out a contract for Chen Ze to sign.
After signing the agreement, he already owned 30% of the shares of Dajiang UAV.
"Mr. Wang, I have a request. Could you please help me with it?"
Upon hearing Chen Ze's words, Wang Tao was taken aback, thinking to himself, "You're so rich, why do you need my help?"
"How can I help you, Mr. Chen? I'm really curious."
Chen Ze smiled and said, "It's like this. A friend of mine wants me to bring some excellent companies to invest in their city, so I thought of you."
"Friends in officialdom?"
It must be said that Wang Tao has a very high IQ and guessed it right away.
"That's right, my girlfriend's older brother. He needs some political achievements to improve himself. If you agree, I won't let you suffer any losses. I'm willing to provide you with 200 million yuan in interest-free loans."
Two hundred million? Wang Tao's eyes lit up. "Which province and city?" he asked.
"Shacheng in Hunan Province is a county-level city."
Two hundred million is enough for him to open another branch factory. If he wants to defeat that drone company in Shanghai, he must expand rapidly and catch up with others, since he started later than others.
"President Chen, I agree. Actually, it doesn't matter where the branch factory is located. Besides, Hunan Province is not far from Guangdong Province, so it's acceptable."
Then, Wang Tao took out a loan agreement and signed his name on it.
"Secretary Shen, bring me my laptop."
Shen Xiyu ran to the car to get her computer, and soon she placed it in front of Chen Ze.
Chen Ze inserted an online banking transfer and transferred a total of 480 million yuan. He spent more than 1.5 billion yuan in one day.
Currently, Grey Wolf Investment's account balance is only 4 billion RMB, and the 1.5 billion USD from its Hong Kong branch has not yet been transferred back to the mainland.
After transferring the money, Chen Ze took Shen Xiyu for a tour of the Jiangnan UAV workshop before returning to Nanshan Building.
After getting off work that evening, Chen Ze received a call from Ye Xiaoman, who asked him to meet her at a high-end bar.
At 6:20, Chen Ze's car arrived at the entrance of the Rich and Noble Bar and found various luxury cars parked there: Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, Lamborghinis, Ferraris...
As soon as Zhao Youde stopped the car, a doorman opened the car door for Chen Ze and greeted him politely.
He was about to enter the Rich Bar when the receptionist told him that he needed to get a membership card to enter.
How much money do I need to top up to get a membership card here?
"Hello boss, a regular membership card requires a recharge of 200,000 yuan, while a premium membership requires a recharge of 1 million yuan."
"Okay, deposit one million into my account."
After getting his membership card, Chen Ze asked, "Is it okay if I bring bodyguards in?"
The receptionist stared at him in shock, not expecting this young man to have bodyguards.
"Yes, Mr. Chen."
Chen Ze walked into the bar, with Zhao Youde following behind.
Upon arriving at the bar lobby, I saw that the interior was as luxurious and opulent as a five-star hotel. At a glance, I could see that 80% of the guests were wealthy women, all dressed in gold and jewels, and none of their accessories were cheap.
In contrast, Chen Ze's attire was like a pile of dog poop in a golden basin. If he hadn't driven a Bentley today, he probably wouldn't have been able to get a membership card.
He found an empty seat and sat down, while the two ladies next to him looked at his outfit with disdain.
However, he didn't care about the strange looks from others.
A waiter brought him a bottle of beverage and placed it in front of him. These beverages were free; only alcoholic drinks were charged.
The music playing in the bar wasn't the kind that's deafeningly loud with bass. He asked curiously, "Miss, aren't bars supposed to play energetic music? Why are you playing soft music here?"
The waiter smiled slightly: "Sir, we only play energetic music after midnight."
After saying that, the waiter turned and left.
He waited until 7 p.m., but still hadn't seen Ye Xiaoman. He wondered if she was going to stand him up.
