Episode 498 Trap
Help Tang Qing’s boyfriend make money?
Even Jiang Mozhou, who had a very quick mind, couldn't immediately figure out his intention. Jiang Mozhou remained silent. Before he could ask, Jiang Budu spoke first: "It can be said that I did something for her."
Jiang Mozhou finally understood what he meant - his way of "giving" was indeed a bit unconventional, but when he thought about it carefully, at this moment, perhaps this was the only way for him to go. Tang Qing would never accept his so-called giving to her.
Jiang Mozhou: "Does her boyfriend know about you? Are you sure he will accept this cooperation?"
Jiang Budu: "Hengyuan Bio is your company."
Jiang Mozhou: "...Okay, I understand."
He was very thoughtful.
If you go to Tang Qing’s boyfriend in the name of Jiang’s company, he will directly refuse as soon as he hears the name of the company, but Hengyuan is different.
Although Hengyuan was originally spun off from Jiang's, that was more than ten years ago. Today, Hengyuan's industrial scale is also very large, and its popularity is no less than that of Jiang's.
Jiang Budu holds shares in Hengyuan, but he doesn't really care about Hengyuan's operations and decision-making. The real power is in Jiang Mozhou's hands.
Jiang Budu: "Thank you."
Jiang Mozhou sighed over there, "Think positively and stop making things difficult for yourself."
Jiang Budu laughed at himself, "I think so too."
Jiang Mozhou: "Take your time."
Jiang Budu: "I always thought she was boring because she never laughed. Now I realize she's only like that with me."
"Brother, I'm a complete failure as a human being too." Jiang Budu took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. "They should be getting married soon."
Jiang Mozhou immediately recalled the scene of running into Tang Qing and her boyfriend at the real estate agency—they were looking at houses together, so they must have plans for the next step.
There's nothing else I can do except make Jiang Budu think more positively.
"I thought about stopping her and checked Shi Chen's information thoroughly, but I couldn't find anything wrong with him." When he mentioned this, he laughed at himself again.
Jiang Budu knew very well that if he wanted Tang Qing to break up with Shi Chen, he could only find the problem with Shi Chen.
Shi Chen is in his early thirties, so it is impossible that he has never been in love. He also found out about his two previous girlfriends. One has a boyfriend and the other is married, and they have no contact with Shi Chen anymore.
There is no possibility of rekindling the old love.
"Go to bed early." Jiang Mozhou listened to Jiang Budu's words without commenting.
——
On Wednesday morning of the following week, Shi Chen had just come out of a meeting when his assistant informed him that the project manager of Hengyuan Bio was visiting him, intending to seek cooperation.
When Shi Chen heard the words "Hengyuan Biology", his expression became much more serious, his brows slightly furrowed, and he looked a little puzzled.
He is a venture capitalist. The biotechnology market has been booming in recent years, and Hengyuan's stocks have been highly sought after in the market. It is almost a sure win, and the momentum is very strong.
Logically speaking, there is no reason for a company of Hengyuan's size to seek cooperation with PE. Even if it really wants to cooperate, it should be the PE that takes the initiative to approach it. The company did have this intention half a year ago, but due to fierce competition, it decided to give up after the meeting and found another pharmaceutical company of similar size.
I never expected that people from Hengyuan would come to me on their own initiative.
With some suspicion and caution, Shi Chen came to the reception room and met with Hengyuan's Manager Li.
Shi Chen nodded slightly towards Manager Li, took the initiative to greet him and introduced himself, then sat down opposite him and politely poured him a cup of tea.
"Sorry to bother Mr. Li to make the trip." Shi Chen said.
Manager Li: "Mr. Shi, you're welcome. It's my duty."
He smiled and handed over the folder. "Mr. Shi, you've probably heard of Hengyuan. This is Hengyuan's latest project, expected to be listed by the end of the year. We hope to work with the PE team to complete this listing plan."
Shi Chen took the folder, opened it, and carefully read the preliminary plan.
The more he looked, the more serious his expression became.
It is no exaggeration to say that this plan is a godsend for PE. If it really succeeds, not only can it make a lot of money, but PE's status and reputation in the industry will also be greatly improved.
But Shi Chen is an experienced adult and would not believe in such things as pie falling from the sky, so he is very cautious.
After reading the proposal, Shi Chen looked up at Manager Li. "Mr. Li, let me ask you a question. Specialty drug projects always have high returns. There must be many companies interested in cooperating with Hengyuan. I'm curious why you chose PE."
Manager Li wasn't surprised by Shi Chen's question and even answered it fluently: "Hengyuan has always been interested in finding companies with development potential for win-win situations. If Mr. Shi knew Hengyuan, he would know that we are also a new company that has only emerged in the past five years."
Shi Chen nodded. He knew this. It was regarded as a myth and miracle in the industry and was talked about with great relish. I'm sure everyone in the industry knew about it.
But Manager Li's explanation seemed too official and could not completely let Shi Chen let down his guard.
After thinking for a minute or two, Shi Chen smiled and replied, "Mr. Li, I need to discuss this matter with a few partners. I'll give you a reply next week at the latest. Is that okay with you?"
Manager Li: "Okay, no problem."
…
Shi Chen met and talked with Manager Li for less than twenty minutes before the conversation ended.
After Shi Chen sent Manager Li into the elevator, he returned to the office. At that time, partner Qin Yu and assistant Qu Xiao were both there.
Seeing Shi Chen come in, Qin Yu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you really from Hengyuan?"
Shi Chen nodded, "Indeed, I saw it on the news before."
Qin Yu: "Why did Hengyuan suddenly approach us about cooperation? Is there some trap here?"
Shi Chen: “It’s hard to say.”
He looked at Qu Xiao, "Have you sorted out Hengyuan's information?"
Qu Xiao: "It's already been sorted."
He quickly picked up the printed document on the table and began to read Hengyuan's information to Shi Chen: "Hengyuan Bio was officially established in December 200X. It was originally a subsidiary of Jiang's Group to develop medical biotechnology. Later, due to its outstanding performance, it was completely independent from Jiang's. The current chairman is Jiang Mozhou."
"Jiang Mozhou." Shi Chen repeated the name silently, his focus on the surname.
River.
Jiang family.
Although Tang Qing had not asked for much information about Jiang Budu, he was well-known and a lot of information about him could be found in the news.
Shi Chen knew that the Jiang family had two sons, and Jiang Budu was the second son.
Then Jiang Mozhou should be his biological brother - is this cooperation a coincidence or intentional?
If it was intentional, what was their purpose?
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Yu saw Shi Chen's serious expression and asked him, "Do you have any connection with the Jiang family?"
Shi Chen shook his head, "Not really."
Qin Yu: "Then——"
Shi Chen: "Let's not consider cooperation for now."
He rubbed his brows and said, "Wait a day or two, I will refuse."
