This man is the secretary-general of the Chen Group. His surname is Liu and his given name is Liu Yulong. He is a very shrewd and capable old fox in the business world.
"Mr. Chen, Ms. Chen, welcome, welcome! Please come this way!" Liu Yulong said with a smile.
Chen Feng nodded, and he and Chen Xueyao went into the private room.
"Dad, why are you so late today? I'm sorry to bother you," Chen Xueyao said.
"Hehe, it's alright, it's good that you're here," Mr. Chen said with a smile.
Chen Feng scanned the private room but did not find any trace of his parents.
"Where's your mother?" Chen Feng asked.
"Oh, she went out on something and asked me to tell you that she has agreed to your engagement," said Mr. Chen.
"Really? That's wonderful!" Chen Feng said happily.
"Yes." Mr. Chen smiled.
"By the way, our company has a collaborative project that requires the help of the Chen family. Here is our contract; please take a look!" Mr. Chen took out a document from his person and handed it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took the document and began to read it. As a lawyer, he was quite knowledgeable about the company's legal affairs.
Of course, the most important reason is that this cooperation is the largest business deal between the Chen Group and the Yamada Zaibatsu, and it also involves bidding by the U.S. Department of Petroleum Resources.
If successful, this will bring huge profits to the Chen Group.
"Dad, this is a good project, but can the Chen family come up with that much money?" Chen Xueyao asked.
Although I personally planned this project, it was still a massive undertaking involving tens of millions of dollars. A lack of sufficient funding would be a fatal weakness.
"Don't worry, this investment project is being handled by a friend of our Chen Group, and he will pay us the full amount," Mr. Chen said.
Chen Feng was taken aback. "Uncle Chen, could it be the Minister of Petroleum Resources?"
"Yes, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources has sent a vice minister this time, and the vice minister is personally in charge of this project." Mr. Chen nodded.
Chen Feng cursed inwardly: Damn it, how could I, Chen Feng, forget that the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources is Zhou Deren, a cunning old fox, and moreover, a lecherous wolf with a special fetish for women.
This investment between the Chen Group and the Yamada Zaibatsu would not have been possible without Zhou Deren's mediation.
Chen Feng frowned, thinking that this old fox was definitely up to no good.
"I don't think this project is suitable for me," Chen Feng shook his head.
Mr. Chen was taken aback; he didn't know why Mr. Chen would say such a thing.
"What are your thoughts on this project?" Mr. Chen asked.
"Here's what I think: since it's an investment, it should involve a huge amount of capital. However, the Yamada Zaibatsu's investment is a bottomless pit. Moreover, the Yamada Zaibatsu also demands that the Chen Group pay up to ten times the amount in taxes every year. This is a huge loss, and we also have to bear huge risks," Chen Feng said.
"However, I've already reached an agreement with Vice Minister Zhou for this project. I will sign a transfer agreement with the Chen Group. If you don't think this project is suitable, you can continue to consider it," said Mr. Chen.
Chen Feng was stunned; he hadn't expected his father to make such a decision.
The Chen Group was the culmination of his life's work, and of course he hoped to preserve it.
However, if he continues to participate in this project, the Chen Group may fall into a huge crisis, or even go bankrupt.
This is not the outcome Chen Feng wanted to see.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Chen Feng looked up to see Yamamoto Isoroku walking in.
Chen Feng quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Mr. Yamamoto!"
"Mr. Chen, hello, my name is Yamamoto Isoroku." Yamamoto Isoroku smiled and extended his hand, gesturing for Chen Feng to sit down.
Chen Feng quickly grasped Yamamoto Isoroku's hand, "Mr. Yamamoto, hello, it's an honor to meet you!"
Yamamoto Isoroku smiled, sat down in his chair, and said, "I heard that President Chen is going to build a new city in China and invest in a large industrial park. This is great news! I also hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with your group. This way, our Yamada Zaibatsu's business will flourish even more."
Chen Feng was taken aback. This old fox had actually set his sights on his company.
"Well... Mr. Yamamoto, the Chen Group has the right to refuse any cooperation projects," Chen Feng said.
"Oh, why did Mr. Chen refuse?" Yamamoto Isoroku asked.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, I feel that the Chen Group's business is quite stable, so I don't want to take any risks so soon."
"Mr. Chen, I can understand that. However, I believe that as long as you agree to this project, our two companies will work together for mutual benefit," said Yamamoto Isoroku.
Chen Feng pondered for a moment, thinking that if he agreed, the Chen Group's stock would definitely plummet, and the investment would become extremely risky. If he didn't agree, the Chen Group's business would suffer a huge blow.
"Hehe, Mr. Chen, I've always wanted to cooperate with the Chen Group," Yamamoto Isoroku said with a smile.
"Well then, let me think about this matter. However, I must remind Mr. Yamamoto that your plan is probably going to fall through," Chen Feng said.
"Oh? I wonder if Mr. Chen has any good ideas he could share with me?" Yamamoto Isoroku smiled.
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "If I were to say that this plan would not benefit our Chen Group in any way, would Mr. Yamamoto be able to accept it?"
