Pushing open the door to the reception room, Chen Ze walked straight in and saw Shen Nanpeng and his two assistants leisurely drinking coffee.
He sat down opposite Shen Nanpeng and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Shen Nanpeng waved his hand, "I haven't been here long either. I don't know how President Chen has considered the matter from last time. I suppose you've already spoken to President Ma, and I wonder what his opinion is."
"I asked him, but unfortunately he didn't give me any advice. These past few nights I've been thinking about whether to list in the United States or Hong Kong. This matter is really troubling me," Chen Ze said, feigning a troubled expression.
Shen Nanpeng smiled faintly and slowly said, "President Chen, is there any need to consider this? Almost 90% of the world's top 500 companies are listed in the United States. There is no doubt that the financial market there is the best in the world. I won't go into the benefits, so listing in the United States is the best choice."
"Mr. Shen, although the United States has the world's number one financial industry, Hong Kong, which is right next to Shenzhen, also has a very developed financial sector."
Hearing Chen Ze say this, Shen Nanpeng knew that he had made his choice. After thinking for a moment, he continued:
"Mr. Chen, how about this? You can list in Hong Kong if you want. As I said before, I have great confidence in your abilities. As long as you agree to Sequoia Capital's investment, we can help you solve problems that you cannot solve on your own in any area of business."
Chen Zeyan shook his head and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, Panda Takeout is not short of funds at the moment. Of course, if there is a day when we need investment funds, I will inform you first."
Currently, Chen Ze's Hong Kong Grey Wolf Investment account still holds over 10 billion yuan in cash, with nowhere to invest it. In addition, Panda Takeaway generates over 200 million yuan in net profit every month, so there is no shortage of funds.
The two sides talked for nearly an hour, but the meeting ended unhappily, with Shen Nanpeng and his assistant leaving Nanshan Building looking unhappy.
Chen Ze arrived at the deputy general manager's office and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Come in," came An Yumo's voice from inside.
I pushed open the door and went inside.
When An Yumo saw that the person who came was the boss, she hurriedly got up to greet him, with a charming smile on her face.
"Boss, what a rare guest! What brings you here today?"
Chen Ze walked over to her, pulled up a chair, and plopped down in it.
"Mr. An, our Hong Kong Grey Wolf branch has tens of billions of dollars lying idle in its accounts. It's not good to just leave them there. I think it's a huge waste of resources. Haven't you found any potential companies to invest in yet?"
An Yumo helplessly spread her hands, "I haven't found anything yet, but... there's a company called Xiaomi that's developing rapidly, but it's also a competitor of our Panda Phones, so I haven't gone to talk to their CEO Lei."
"President An, with over a billion people in China and such a huge mobile phone market, it's impossible for Panda Mobile to capture it all. So you can rest assured to talk to President Lei without worrying about competition. Have you found out which round of financing they've raised?" Chen Ze asked.
An Yumo immediately replied, "According to our investigation, they will be conducting their Series C funding round in a few days. This will be their third round, so they are probably preparing to expand into overseas markets."
"You can lead the team and go ahead with the negotiations with confidence. Even without Xiaomi, there are still Apple, Google, BBK, and many other brands," Chen Ze said calmly.
After hearing this, An Yumo nodded firmly, "Okay, boss, I'll start preparing to connect with President Lei right away."
After settling An Yumo in, Chen Ze left her office and then took out his phone to call Ge Weidong.
After the call connected, Chen Ze said apologetically, "President Ge, I have important matters to attend to today, so I won't be able to come to Shanghai to work with you. I believe you are capable enough to handle it."
Ge Weidong laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'm not afraid of those foreigners. But what is this important matter of yours, so mysteriously?"
Chen Ze explained with a smile, "To be honest, my wife gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy, and I need to spend a day or two with her."
Ge Weidong chuckled, "I understand, I understand."
After exchanging a few polite words, the two hung up the phone.
Then, Chen Ze took the elevator to the 21st floor of Panda Takeaway Company and went directly to his office.
I had just sat down in my office when my phone rang again. It was Chen Daming calling.
"Mr. Chen, we've arrived at the Nanshan Building."
Chen Ze quickly stood up and said with a smile, "President Chen, I'll come down to meet you right away."
Upon arriving downstairs, Chen Ze greeted Chen Daming and his group of more than a dozen people with a broad smile. He warmly extended both hands, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with each person, "Welcome! Welcome!"
He then led everyone into a spacious and bright reception room, which was furnished with comfortable sofas and coffee tables, and on the table were exquisite tea sets and fruits.
After entering the reception room, everyone sat together.
Chen Daming first introduced Chen Ze to some members of the Chamber of Commerce whom Chen Ze had never met before.
"This is Chen Mingyi, who runs a candy company. This is Chen Hansheng, who runs a packaging materials company. This is Chen Minghao, who runs a real estate company..." Chen Daming introduced him to seven or eight people from various industries.
After the chamber of commerce members shook hands with Chen Ze very respectfully.
Chen Zexian introduced some basic information about Shenzhen to Chen Daming and others, including its advantages in economic development, urban construction, and policy environment.
Chen Daming and the others listened with great interest, nodding in agreement from time to time.
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Daming got straight to the point, saying, "Brother Chen, last time you mentioned that Shenzhen has huge development potential, so we came here specifically to investigate. Our chamber of commerce member Chen Minghao is very interested in investing in real estate here."
Some of them wanted to invest in real estate, and Chen Ze did not object. Generally speaking, the real estate market still has great development prospects.
"Chairman, the real estate market is indeed doing very well given the current state of urban development. However, I think you could consider developing a food and beverage sector. Foods that people eat will never go out of style," Chen Ze suggested.
Chen Daming responded with a smile, "Haha, Brother Chen, that's what I was thinking too. However, the specific details of the investment cooperation still need to be discussed and investigated further."
Therefore, the two parties began to discuss the specific details of the cooperation, including project site selection, investment scale, cooperation methods, and so on.
During the discussion, both sides showed great sincerity and enthusiasm, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Then, Chen Ze offered some advice to Chen Daming: "Chairman, the real estate market still has a lot of room for development, so you can proceed with confidence. However, you must pay attention to risk control and choose suitable projects and partners during the investment process."
Chen Daming said seriously, "Don't worry, Vice President, I will keep that in mind. However, this time I have decided to let them handle the real estate sector. I plan to see if the beverage sector you mentioned is feasible."
