Shortly after Mr. Huang made the phone call, two men and a woman pushed open the door to the reception room and walked in.
In the rather grandly decorated business reception room, Boss Huang stood enthusiastically in the middle, his face beaming with smiles, gesturing as he introduced the three people in front of him to Chen Ze.
"Chairman Chen, this is General Manager Li. He is a senior figure in our industry and has extensive research experience in aloe vera."
President Li nodded slightly, a reserved smile on his face, his eyes revealing the shrewdness of a businessman.
Mr. Huang then pointed to a man in a well-tailored suit next to him, "This is General Manager Luo. General Manager Luo is very skilled in market expansion. He is the one who opened up many of our company's businesses."
President Luo extended his hand and shook hands firmly with Chen Ze, a confident smile playing on his lips.
Finally, Mr. Huang turned to an elegant lady and said, "This is Ms. Zhang. Don't underestimate her just because she's a lady. Her abilities are no less than those of us men. She manages the company very well."
Ms. Zhang gently smoothed her hair behind her ear, revealing a gentle yet capable smile, and extended her slender hand.
Chen Ze also reached out and shook her hand briefly before letting go, maintaining a smile on his face the whole time.
He first walked up to President Li, extended his broad hand, and shook hands firmly with President Li. Looking at him with a determined gaze, he said, "I have long admired President Li's name." President Li also shook hands firmly in return, "Chairman Chen is young and promising. Meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary."
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats, sinking slightly into the soft sofas.
Mr. Huang cleared his throat, leaned forward slightly, and began to briefly explain Chen Ze's purpose to the three shareholders. He spoke at a moderate pace and clearly explained that Chen Ze's company wanted to acquire Qingshan Company.
As the three shareholders listened to Mr. Huang's words, their relaxed expressions gradually turned serious, and they all lowered their heads in deep thought.
Some of them frowned slightly, some rested their chins on their hands, and some stared blankly, seemingly weighing the pros and cons in their minds.
The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became somewhat heavy, and the occasional conversations abruptly ceased.
Chen Ze sat quietly to the side, not making any noise to disturb them.
He placed his hands naturally on the table, his eyes calm and focused, quietly waiting for their answer.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment; the entire reception room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with only the clock on the wall ticking away, as if reminding everyone of the passage of time.
Five minutes felt like an eternity to Chen Ze.
Finally, President Li broke the silence. He sat up straight, looked directly at Chen Ze, and asked, "Chairman Chen, how much do you intend to offer to acquire our Qingshan Company?"
His voice was steady and powerful, and it sounded particularly clear in the quiet reception room.
Chen Ze did not answer President Li's question directly, but turned to look at An Yumo sitting next to him.
An Yumo felt Chen Ze's gaze, immediately opened the laptop in front of her, and her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, making crisp key sounds.
Her gaze was focused and earnest; she would sometimes look down at the data on the computer screen, and sometimes furrow her brow in thought.
After a moment, she stopped what she was doing, looked up, and smiled as she answered for Chen Ze:
"Mr. Li, our professional market assessment team has conducted a comprehensive and detailed evaluation of your Qingshan Company, taking into account factors such as the company's assets, business, and market prospects. The final valuation is 50 million RMB."
"Of course, we have also fully considered the development potential and brand value of Qingshan Company. If you agree to the acquisition, we are willing to give a certain premium, about 20% of the price of 50 million."
Her voice was clear and melodious, and her words were well-organized, as if each one had been carefully chosen.
Upon hearing the price, Mr. Huang and his three companions whispered among themselves and began to converse quietly.
The conversation continued for a few minutes.
President Li raised his head, his expression somewhat serious, and said, "Chairman Chen, although the price you offered has a premium, our Qingshan Company has a certain status and resources in the industry, and we feel that this price is still a bit low."
General Manager Luo nodded in agreement, adding, "Yes, our company's market channels and customer resources took a lot of time and effort to build, and their value goes far beyond what we've mentioned."
Mr. Zhang elegantly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "Chairman Chen, I believe you are sincere, but we hope the price can be raised further, at least by 100% premium."
One hundred percent? Hearing this woman's words, he thought this guy had lost his mind.
Chen Ze smiled and said calmly, "I understand your concerns, but the price we offered is already very sincere. Moreover, after the acquisition, we will inject new funds and resources to reorganize Qingshan Company."
After hearing this, the three shareholders fell into deep thought again.
At this moment, Mr. Huang asked, "Chairman Chen, how many shares of our Qingshan Company do you plan to acquire?"
Chen Ze said seriously, "At least 51 percent of the shares. Of course, in my opinion, the more shares the better. If any of you four want to withdraw your money and start a new business, I can give you investment advice. This is the time to make money."
When Luo, one of the four, heard this, his eyes lit up. The person in front of him was the tycoon of a multi-billion dollar corporation. If the other party was willing to lend a helping hand, it would definitely elevate his status to a higher level.
This man's full name is Luo Baili. He is shrewd and capable, a local of Dongguan, and is 45 years old this year.
He eagerly asked, "Chairman Chen, if you are really willing to give me a good startup project, I am willing to transfer 20% of my shares to you at the premium I just mentioned."
Seeing his anxious look, Chen Ze's lips curled into a fleeting smile.
He placed his hands on the table and said calmly, "President Luo, a man of his word is not to be taken lightly. Since I have said it, I can definitely give you a good project investment suggestion, which is twice as good as being a supplier like you."
“Great, let’s sign the contract now,” Robley said eagerly.
Chen Ze glanced at An Yumo, just a look.
An Yumo understood immediately and handed the contract to Luo Baili for him to sign.
However, Mr. Zhang from the other party questioned Luo Baili: "Mr. Luo, what do you mean by this? We are still negotiating with Chairman Chen! Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to sign in such a hurry?"
The other two also glared at Robley, clearly displeased with his behavior.
Faced with Ms. Zhang's questioning, he said nonchalantly, "Sister Zhang, why can't I sign if I get what I want? In the business world, it's all about exchanging interests, nothing shameful."
