"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, our company is not mature enough yet. After a unanimous decision by the four of us on the board, we will not consider third-party investment for the time being. However, we are very grateful for your kindness. If we have investment needs in the future, we hope that you can leave the door open for us."
Chen Cixiu walked in and his first words were an apology.
Achoo! Cheng Yusheng sneezed inexplicably at his workstation.
Xu Shaoan's face was grim.
He never expected that they would reject his investment.
For a startup, an investment of tens of millions is a huge sum of money. This means they don't need to worry about having enough funds for marketing alone.
Instead, they could simply throw money at advertising and promotion for the entire Haochi Media company, including product and store promotions. Even spending five million out of ten million would be more than enough.
You can refer to the one million that Jiang Yu spent on Chen Cixiu's account.
It directly returned three million.
That's the power of advertising.
Therefore, Xu Shaoan couldn't understand why Chen Cixiu would refuse so much money.
In his view, although Chen Cixiu's parents were professors and most of his family members were teachers, his family was not the kind that could easily spend millions or tens of millions of yuan.
In his view, refusing this ten million pure investment was a completely foolish act.
However, he immediately thought of another possibility.
"Does Mr. Chen intend to use Anyuan Financial to invest in his own company?"
As soon as he said that, Chen Cixiu felt that his words were full of aggression.
Chen Cixiu had no intention of indulging Xu Shaoan.
Even if his words weren't offensive, as a man, facing a man who coveted his wife, Chen Cixiu felt that even a simple "hello" from him was like a knife.
"Is there a problem? Anyuan Financial is an investment company. Although my wife's position as president of Anyuan Financial is indeed not as high as your position as the Asia-Pacific agent of an overseas investment consortium, my wife is still backed by the Jiang Group. Since you can take a liking to such a small company as mine, I believe that my company has the ability to make even the high-ranking directors of Anyuan Financial see the value of our company."
He always included the phrase "my wife" in every sentence he spoke.
When facing a love rival, the best approach is to strike relentlessly.
Trying to reason with him is foolish; don't mistake it for gentlemanly behavior.
Not killing them outright is already considered showing mercy.
Xu Shaoan's expression did change slightly, but not by much.
He was indeed the Asia-Pacific head of an investment consortium.
Chen Cixiu felt that since people of this caliber were circling around his small company, he should write a letter of complaint to their head office, telling their senior management that Xu Shaoan was not doing his job properly in China.
He believed that in that case, there must be Xu Shaoan's mortal enemies within that conglomerate.
At that time, that mortal enemy of the other side will definitely try to destroy Xu Shaoan.
At the very least, they won't let him stay in that investment consortium any longer.
"So, Mr. Xu, I won't trouble you any further." Chen Cixiu smiled slightly, gesturing with his eyes to the door over there.
Xu Shaoan stood up, his expression gradually turning displeased.
But out of his pathetic composure, he held back and said with a smile, "In that case, I look forward to our next opportunity to cooperate."
He's gone.
When Xu Shaoan opened the door, he saw Tian Xin and Li Bowen acting a bit suspiciously, but he ignored them. This was their company, and it was perfectly reasonable for them to be wherever they were.
After he left, Li Bowen and Tian Xin quickly rushed into Chen Cixiu's office.
"What happened? Why is Xu Shaoan's face so dark?"
Li Bowen's face had two big words written on it.
Let's eat melon seeds.
Chen Cixiu told them what had just happened, and Li Bowen and Tian Xin laughed so hard they almost fell over.
As always.
Chen Cixiu was always good at finding people's sore spots and mocking them when he was in school. Xu Shaoan, on the other hand, was clearly raised like a rich young master from a young age.
He must be very well-mannered.
Although Chen Cixiu came from a scholarly family, he was not from a scholarly family at all behind the scenes. He would even use his extensive reading to insult people without using any vulgar language.
Later, he changed his strategy and started targeting the opponent's weaknesses.
For example, doesn't Xu Shaoan like Jiang Yu?
He started by talking about trying to conceive, and then kept referring to her as his wife.
Can Xu Shaoan stand it?
When Xu Shaoan went out just now, his face was dark.
After get off work.
Chen Cixiu bought some vegetables at the market on his way home.
Jiang Yu said she wanted to eat spicy chicken today.
Chen Cixiu decided to cook her a spicy chicken dish.
When Chen Cixiu got home, he noticed that Jiang Yu wasn't there. Curious, he prepared to call her. After the call connected, Jiang Yu said, "Honey, I'm on my way home now."
"Where did you go?"
Chen Cixiu asked.
“I went to my parents’ house. They said that when your uncle went to the countryside, he bought a few old hens and asked you to make soup for me.”
They really are my parents.
They didn't cook it; they cooked it themselves.
"Okay, I was going to make you spicy chicken, but since that's the case, I'll go buy some things and wait for you to come back with the old hen."
"No need, Mom and Dad have already prepared it."
Professor Wu and Professor Chen truly deserve their titles; their considerations are so comprehensive.
