The following morning, sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, falling gently on the earth and bringing warmth and vitality to the entire city of Athens.
On this hopeful day, Chen Jifeng finally succeeded in setting up the company after tireless efforts.
When the news reached Chen Ze, he did not hesitate to transfer a huge sum of 20 million euros into the company's account, injecting strong momentum and vitality into the newly established company.
Meanwhile, in the grand and elegant hall of the Louis Estate, an important business negotiation was underway.
Amy's uncle sat at one end of an ornate long table, clutching a carefully prepared supplier contract in his hand.
On the other side, Chen Ze sat calmly. After exchanging glances for a moment, the two slowly picked up pens and solemnly signed their names on the contract.
With the final payment made, the supplier contract officially came into effect, marking the establishment of a cooperative relationship between the two parties.
Shortly after the signing ceremony, Louis had his daughter invite Chen Ze to his study.
Chen Ze knew in his heart that his father-in-law had been planning for many days, and today was probably the time to put forward his conditions.
Amy led Chen Ze into the study, where Chen Ze saw Louis standing by the window with his back to the door, seemingly deep in thought.
Hearing footsteps, Louis turned around and smiled, gesturing for Chen Ze to sit down.
Louis then slowly began to speak: "Dear Mr. Chen, now that we are truly family, I will get straight to the point and say it to you directly."
Chen Ze took a small sip of coffee, a slight smile playing on his lips, and replied, "That's right, Mr. Louis. Now that we're all family, please feel free to speak your mind. I'm all ears."
A faint smile appeared on Louis's face as he continued, "Chen, to be honest, the reason I dared to betroth my most beloved daughter Amy to you is naturally because I had someone thoroughly investigate your background beforehand."
"After all, as a qualified father, how can he be careless about his daughter's life-long happiness? Don't you agree?"
Chen Ze nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he fully understood and agreed with Louis's actions.
In his view, if you want to truly accept someone into your life, it is only natural to first understand their basic situation.
"After a quick search, I didn't expect you to be a billionaire in China. It seems that I made the right bet by placing my bet on you."
Chen Ze smiled and said, "Mr. Louis, I must say you have a good eye."
Louis said confidently, "I used to be a successful businessman. The moment I saw your demeanor, I knew you were extraordinary. I only went bankrupt because the country fell into the subprime crisis."
Chen Ze shook his head and denied his words, "Excuse me for being blunt, but your bankruptcy was not caused by the subprime crisis. The main reason was that you had too little cash flow and couldn't manage your funds. You also had too much real estate, which you couldn't convert into cash immediately, which led to your bankruptcy."
Louis handed him a cigarette. “There is indeed a problem. When I made money, I bought a lot of real estate. In the end, I needed money and wanted to sell it, but no one was willing to take it over. In the end, I had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.”
Chen Ze lit a cigarette and asked, "How do you plan to cooperate with me?"
“Mr. Chen, I’m investing the remaining ten million euros into [Ximai Spicy Strips Company], which will give me a 49% stake. Is that alright?” Louis asked.
Upon hearing Louis's request, Chen Ze decisively refused: "Mr. Louis, I can only give you a maximum of 39% of [Ximai Spicy Strips Company] shares. I will keep 51% myself, and I will leave the remaining 10% to Amy."
“Your future assets will definitely be left to Eddie, so I must leave some shares for my wife Amy, so that she can live a wealthy life while I am not in Greece.”
Chen Ze did this because he was afraid that if Louis's son treated Amy badly after Louis left, Amy would suffer, so he had to leave Amy some security.
Hearing her lover's concern for her future, Amy felt a surge of emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Louis was silent for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, "Haha, Chen, you really are a man worth entrusting yourself to. We'll do as you say."
Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, extended his hand to Louis, and the two shook hands to reach an agreement.
Subsequently, Chen Ze had his secretary print out the shareholding agreement and bring it to Louis for signature.
In the following two weeks, Ximai Spicy Strips gained a good reputation in the local Greek market with its unique flavor, and their business flourished.
Amy also actively participated in company affairs, using her connections to bring in many orders for the company.
Since this food product had no competitors in Greece, Ximai Foods quickly dominated the entire Greek market.
Meanwhile, Chen Ze purchased a huge amount of real estate and invested in businesses in Greece, and the local government personally sent people to his door to deliver a Greek green card.
Mayor Hiklo of Athens smiled and said to Chen Ze, "Dear Mr. Chen, if you have any wealthy business friends who want to invest, you can bring them with you. Athens warmly welcomes Chinese businessmen."
“Okay, no problem, District Chief Hiklo. If they are willing to come, I will definitely bring them along.”
After chatting for a while, Hekloh left with his men.
In the evening, Chen Ze and Amy's family ate at the dinner table. Because the business was doing better and better, Louis had a constant smile on his face and even drank two more glasses of red wine.
