Chapter 163 You have so much confidence in Zhong Yan?
A knock came at the door.
Chi Mu glanced at Zhong Yan: "People are here, watch your words."
Zhong Yan took a sip of water. Who needs this cooperation more? Who should pay attention?
He knew what the other party was thinking; they were interested in more than just Zhongheng Group. Otherwise, why would they not go to Shen Que but instead inquire about him everywhere?
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look in the direction of the sound and saw the big belly.
Ji Tanyuan was also stunned.
This is because they are afraid that Zhong Yan's words might be too harsh and cause people to have premature births.
He stood up and shook hands with him: "Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Jiang Jiawen is the third child in her family, and is known to outsiders as Miss Jiang the Third. Her father is a famous hotel tycoon with countless women and numerous scandals in Hong Kong.
Jiang San was the least noticeable one, but now she has suddenly taken up the position of president, which shows that this Miss Jiang San is also very capable.
However, she still had to fly to Shanghai when she was pregnant and about to give birth, which shows her dedication. No wonder she was able to become the president. Her work attitude is far superior to other spoiled rich kids.
But why haven't we heard of any happy events in the Chiang family?
Zhong Yan looked thoughtful and glanced at Chi Mu.
Chi Mu gave him a cold look, then opened her mouth but said silently, "Get out, it's not mine."
Ji Tanyuan stood up and looked at her stomach.
After shaking hands with Zhong Yan, Jiang Jiawen hugged Ji Tanyuan, saying, "It's a pleasure to see you again."
Ji Tanyuan smiled, "I didn't expect you to be pregnant."
Her round belly, hidden under the suit skirt, wasn't very noticeable, but it had a curve.
The last time they met was at a fashion show. They were both very young then, moving between various high-society parties. Although Jiang Jiawen wasn't very flamboyant, she loved buying luxury goods. Plus, she was Qin Yini's senior from the same school, so they became acquainted.
In just a few years, the other party not only defeated his brothers and sisters, but also sat in the president's position while pregnant, the highest management level.
Zhong Yan chuckled: "I haven't heard anything good happening to President Jiang. Or was it my oversight that I didn't send my blessings?"
Jiang Jiawen touched her belly and smiled gently, "Single motherhood means the child has no father."
Zhong Yan gave an "oh" and sat down, his posture composed, completely exuding the air of a superior. He casually poured a glass of warm water for the person in front of him and said indifferently, "It's bad luck. A biological father is still a father. It's not good for a child to say that he has no father."
Jiang Jiawen was stunned. It seemed she hadn't considered this aspect. "It was my oversight."
She knew she had said the wrong thing. After all, the person in front of her was a man, and he had just gotten divorced. Judging from his current state, he still had some unbroken connection with Ji Tanyuan.
Zhong Yan's expression was cold, and his brows were lowered, clearly indicating that he was not happy. Sometimes, a single sentence could determine the life or death of a collaboration.
Jiang Jiawen smiled and said, "Chairman Zhong is so thoughtful. You are very considerate."
Ji Tanyuan was sitting on a sofa in the distance, listening to the two talking, but she didn't intend to get involved.
She doesn't immediately plan to move into the downstream product side; however, she is involved in the upstream and midstream of chip programming. If she can successfully expand into the downstream, perhaps she can find some inspiration now. Anyway, she has nothing else to do, so there's no harm in listening in.
Actually, this negotiation isn't very useful for reference. Zhong Yan, the supplier, is acting like the buyer. Does he have to be so comfortable?
The conversation didn't go as she expected; it somehow ended up talking about education.
Are you crazy? Has Zhong Yan ever been a father?
Ji Tanyuan thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, I used to, for the dog."
He was the one who took the puppy to get it spayed, and for that, the usually brainless and unforgiving Beagle actually held a grudge for a week, which is truly rare.
Ji Tanyuan originally suggested that a maid could go so that Puppy wouldn't hold a grudge against her master. However, Zhong Yan felt that sterilization was a serious matter, and that having a maid go would show that the family was disrespecting "Ms. Puppy's" important life event.
Ji Tanyuan was genuinely shocked at the time; she felt that Zhong Yan's thought process was always a bit more complicated than hers.
Zhong Yan glanced at the documents Jiang Jiawen had brought at the table in the lounge, then closed it.
"President Jiang, I understand the details. Chi Mu also said you are sincere. However, the AI intelligence launch event will be held in a few days. Why not wait for the other companies?"
Jiang Jiawen smiled and said, "We should cooperate with the top companies in the industry. It is an honor for Fengyi to cooperate with Zhong Heng."
Zhong Yan also laughed, "Our prices are also high, so I can't say it's an honor; we're just doing an equal trade."
He pointed to the document. "Just look at the projects inside. You want to implement different levels of artificial intelligence across all levels, from high-end to low-end. Do you know the budget? Where will the money come from? Loans? Financing? Under what name will the financing be? It's not an expansion, just an upgrade, so the impact on the group won't be that significant. Therefore, financing is very difficult."
“We have banking channels and our own cash reserves. The so-called full arrangement is the ultimate goal. The initial experiment is only in some cities and will not be rolled out nationwide.”
Zhong Yan seemed to accept this explanation, but the price was still open to discussion and could not be decided easily, as it required an estimate from the team.
Therefore, he did not give a final decision.
Zhong Yan said, "After the summit ends, have someone come to Zhong Heng to find Chen Que and confirm further."
"Shall we discuss this further?"
Jiang Jiawen breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up, supporting her belly, and extended her hand: "Then, is it a pleasure to cooperate?"
Zhong Yan shook hands: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Chi Mu stepped forward to help Jiang Jiawen, merely offering a token support to her arm, demonstrating impeccable gentlemanly manners.
Chi Mu entered the room and said, "Thanks."
Ji Tanyuan and Zhong Yan asked at the same time, "Is the child really yours?"
Chi Mu gritted his teeth: "No, I'm just her friend."
They're all from the port city.
"I like Jiang Si, not Jiang San."
Ji Tanyuan said "Oh," and then asked, "Was she really a single mother?"
Zhong Yan smiled enigmatically: "What, going on a pilgrimage? Why didn't you go on it earlier?"
Ji Tanyuan didn't press the matter further; she still had work to do. "My assistant just called me; I'm going downstairs for a bit."
Zhong Yan hummed in agreement. "Call me if you need anything?"
"What could I possibly need?" Ji Tanyuan said with a smile, "Okay."
Ji Tanyuan went downstairs, and in the lobby on the 18th floor, a large screen was displaying the latest data from a certain car company.
Lu Ke was sitting in the middle.
When Lu Ke saw her come out, he stood up and went with her to a secluded place.
"Someone just went to Jiang Gu to ask if Tongji High-Tech needs cooperation."
Ji Tanyuan knew that this collaboration might be extraordinary, and it wouldn't have been reported to her normally.
"DF Automotive's major shareholder is Shanghai Venture Capital."
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips, and Chen Xichen looked up.
Her spirit haunts me; every time I think of her, it feels like snakes are crawling all over me.
"You also think it might be a trap?" Ji Tanyuan asked.
Lu Ke: "That's why I'm asking you, I remember you had some kind of grudge against him or something?"
Ji Tanyuan's face darkened. "There's nothing there."
"If we want to cooperate with DF, then we will cooperate. However, you need to oversee the entire process, otherwise there will be a next time if we refuse this time."
Lu Ke was speechless: "You're making it sound like this is really a trap."
Ji Tanyuan comforted him, "No, he needs to make money and produce financial reports too. What if he really does need to make money?"
"After all, we've made a profit by supplying batteries to DF for a considerable period of time. Even if Shen Xichen is defeated by Zhong Yan, the contract for this order will still be legal, right?"
Lu Ke glanced at her: "You have that much confidence in Zhong Yan?"
Ji Tanyuan frowned, "Isn't that obvious?"
She would feel even worse if Shen Xichen won; she wished she could do it herself.
