"Okay," Fu Chen gritted his teeth and said in a difficult tone, "I can agree to pay the full amount in one lump sum, but the purchase price cannot be increased any further."
Ning Nanxue heard this and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips. "Mr. Fu is indeed straightforward. In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Ning Nanxue stretched out her hand. Fu Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally held Ning Nanxue's hand.
Outside the Cloud Top Coffee Shop, Jiang Tingchen leaned against his car, watching the scene inside the coffee shop from afar. He saw Ning Nanxue and Fu Chen shaking hands, and knew that the negotiations had made a breakthrough.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride. His Xue'er was indeed the best.
Meanwhile, in the office of the president of Fu Group, Xu Zhiru paced around the office anxiously, her face filled with uneasiness.
She had already heard about Ning Nanxue and Fu Chen's negotiations in the coffee shop, and she felt even more uneasy.
She was worried that Fu Chen would really acquire the Ning Group. Once the acquisition was completed, Ning Nanxue's status would rise, and then she would have even less chance.
"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I must do something." Xu Zhiru's eyes flashed, and she began to think about her plan in her mind.
Fu Chen returned to the office, his face still gloomy.
Xu Zhiru walked in with a cup of coffee and a concerned smile on her face.
"Achen, how is the negotiation going?" Xu Zhiru asked softly in a gentle tone.
Fu Chen took the coffee, took a sip absentmindedly, and frowned.
"Ning Nanxue agreed to the acquisition." Fu Chen said in a dull tone.
Xu Zhiru's eyes flashed with surprise, and then her tone was filled with doubt, "So smooth? Did she really agree?"
Fu Chen sneered, "Smooth? She put forward a lot of conditions, raising the purchase price and requiring a one-time payment in full."
Xu Zhiru's expression changed slightly, and her tone was filled with worry. "Pay the full amount in one go? Ah Chen, will this be a problem? Is she deliberately making things difficult for you?"
Fu Chen put down his coffee cup and looked at Xu Zhiru sharply, "Do you think there's a problem too?"
Xu Zhiru quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just think it's a bit strange that Ning Nanxue suddenly became so easy to talk to."
"Think about it, she was so tough before, how could she suddenly agree to such a harsh condition of paying the full amount in one go?" Xu Zhiru said in a suggestive tone.
Fu Chen frowned even more tightly. Xu Zhiru's words reminded him of Jiang Tingchen again.
"You mean, Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen..." Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru with a hint of doubt in his tone.
Xu Zhiru nodded immediately, her tone affirmative, "Ah Chen, think about it, Jiang Tingchen has always been helping Ning Nanxue, and they have such a close relationship. Maybe this acquisition was a conspiracy between them."
"Ning Nanxue deliberately agreed to your conditions to let you relax your vigilance. Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind it." Xu Zhiru's tone was anxious, as if she was really worried about Fu Chen.
Fu Chen immediately called together his legal team and went to the conference room again.
"Bring out the acquisition agreement again." Fu Chen gave the order directly in a serious tone.
The head of the legal team quickly handed the acquisition agreement to Fu Chen.
Fu Chen took the agreement and flipped through it quickly, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"This agreement is still too lenient." Fu Chen tapped the table with his fingers, his tone dissatisfied.
The head of the legal team asked cautiously, "Mr. Fu, what aspects do you mean?"
Fu Chen's eyes were sharp. "Ning Nanxue agreed too readily. I don't believe she would compromise so easily. We must include more restrictive clauses in the agreement to prevent her from going back on her word or causing trouble."
"Especially regarding the payment method and liability for breach of contract, they should be written in more detail and more strictly." Fu Chen's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
The head of the legal team nodded immediately, "Understood, Mr. Fu, we will revise it immediately."
"The payment method needs to be changed to phased payment. The first deposit is only 30% of the total amount." Fu Chen continued, with a calculating tone in his voice.
"In terms of liability for breach of contract, more severe penalty clauses should be included. If the Ning Group unilaterally terminates the agreement, it must compensate the Fu Group twice the acquisition amount." Fu Chen's tone was sinister, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
The head of the legal team quickly wrote it down, knowing in his heart that Fu Chen was really angered by Ning Nanxue this time.
"Also, the asset transfer of the Ning Group must be clearly stated. We must ensure that all assets are transferred to the Fu Group intact." Fu Chen continued to add in a cautious tone.
"In short, this agreement must be foolproof and not leave Ning Nanxue any opportunity to take advantage of." Fu Chen's tone was domineering and full of control.
The head of the legal team nodded again, "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, we will definitely modify the agreement according to your requirements to ensure that everything is foolproof."
Ning Group, President's Office.
Secretary Chen handed the revised acquisition agreement of Fu Group to Ning Nanxue.
Ning Nanxue took the agreement, glanced through it quickly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Fu Chen's actions are really quick." Ning Nanxue said sarcastically and threw the agreement on the table.
Jiang Tingchen walked over to Ning Nanxue, picked up the agreement and took a look, frowning slightly. "He really did something to the agreement. The payment method was changed to installments, and the liability for breach of contract is more stringent."
Ning Nanxue sneered, "As expected, Fu Chen is a very suspicious and self-righteous person. He can't sit still when Xu Zhiru whispers in his ear."
"Xu Zhiru?" Jiang Tingchen was a little confused. "What did she do again?"
Ning Nanxue's eyes flashed with disdain. "What else can you do? It's nothing more than sowing discord and trying every possible way to stop the acquisition."
"However, the more she is like this, the happier I am." Ning Nanxue's tone was playful, and her eyes were full of calculation.
"She thinks she can stop me like this? She is so naive. Her jealousy will only speed up the progress of my plan." Ning Nanxue's tone was confident, as if everything was under her control.
Jiang Tingchen looked at Ning Nanxue's confident smile and felt relieved. "Xue'er, what are you going to do?"
Ning Nanxue's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, "Take advantage of their strategy."
During the second negotiation, Ning Nanxue deliberately acted a little uneasy, frequently looking at her phone and appearing very anxious.
Fu Chen noticed Ning Nanxue's abnormality, and his doubts were slightly reduced, and his tone softened a little.
"Mr. Ning, have you read the agreement? Do you have any other questions?" Fu Chen's tone was tentative.
Ning Nanxue pretended to sigh, her tone helpless, "Mr. Fu, I've read the agreement. The terms are indeed a bit harsh, but in order to solve the Ning Group's funding problem as soon as possible, I have no choice but to accept it."
A hint of pride flashed in Fu Chen's eyes. Sure enough, Ning Nanxue couldn't hold on any longer.
"I'm glad that Mr. Ning understands. The Fu Group added these clauses to ensure the smooth progress of the acquisition. I hope Mr. Ning doesn't mind." Fu Chen pretended to be generous and seemed very tolerant.
