"No, Mr. Wen, what's going on?"
Watching Wen Wan affectionately pull him inside, Chen Daoyun's mind went blank for a moment.
I was prepared to be humiliated and have them make exorbitant demands, but what's going on here?
They followed Wen Wan and Chen Luo into the elevator, where only the three of them remained.
It was only then that Chen Daoyun realized what was happening, and she quickly let go of Wen Wan's hand, asking the question somewhat awkwardly.
"President Wen, what's all this about? I'm easily frightened."
Wen Wan smiled but didn't speak, while Chen Luo spoke up instead.
"President Chen, shouldn't we welcome future allies with a more enthusiastic welcome?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Daoyun was slightly taken aback, but then immediately understood the meaning behind Chen Luo's words.
The other party understood her intentions and showed no resistance whatsoever; on the contrary, they warmly welcomed her.
This not only helps to bring the two sides closer, but also leaves no room for the Chen family, binding them to their war effort.
Chen Daoyun is willing to bet that the scene of the warm welcome that just happened will be posted on the internet soon.
At that time, all the major families and forces will assume that the Chen family has formed an alliance with Wen Wan.
This semi-kidnapping approach was certainly repulsive, but Chen Daoyun had no other choice at the time.
She came here today hoping to try her luck and see if an alliance could be formed, but the other party took this initiative first.
So what else do I need to talk about today?
Chen Daoyun's carefully prepared speech was completely wasted, and she had no idea what she was going to talk about with Wen Wan later.
What are the specific details of the collaboration? We're completely unprepared!
"Come on in, Mr. Chen, please!"
The elevator arrived quickly, and Chen Luo gentlemanly gestured for Chen Daoyun to enter. Once again, Wen Wan warmly and enthusiastically took Chen Daoyun's hand and led her towards the office.
Along the way were the offices of Wanluo Group's senior executives, and they all saw Wen Wan and Chen Daoyun acting as if they were very familiar with each other.
Once they sat down in the president's office, Chen Luo specially brewed a pot of fine tea and poured a cup for Chen Daoyun.
"Here, Mr. Chen, have a cup of tea first to soothe your throat."
"Okay, thank you, Vice President Chen."
"Mr. Chen, there's no need to be so polite. We both share the surname Chen, and we were practically family five hundred years ago."
Chen Daoyun picked up her teacup, took a sip, and glanced at the smiles on Wen Wan and Chen Luo's faces.
She knew that the other party must have their eye on something she possessed to have taken such a proactive step in forming an alliance with her.
Although I don't know what they're after, this means I should have the leverage to negotiate a partnership with them.
"Thump!"
After putting down her teacup and calming herself down, Chen Daoyun finally spoke.
"President Wen, Vice President Chen, please forgive my abruptness, but what kind of cooperation would you two like to discuss with me?"
Wen Wan and Chen Luo exchanged a glance and smiled.
Chen Daoyun was really quick-witted; she skipped the beating around the bush and got straight to the point, saving them a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Chen is a straightforward person, so we won't beat around the bush."
Chen Luo poured some more tea into Chen Daoyun's cup, then put down the teapot.
"Everyone knows that Mr. Chen is looking for allies for his family."
"And now, there aren't many suitable allies for you, in terms of both strength and interests."
"Coincidentally, we are your best choice right now. Don't you agree?"
Chen Daoyun nodded, looking at Chen Luo with a serious expression.
"So-called cooperation and so-called alliances must have common interests on both sides, and at the same time, they must have what the other party needs."
"Excuse my bluntness, Vice President Chen, but I don't understand what resources of my Chen family you and President Wen have in mind?"
Chen Daoyun knows her own family's situation. Although the Chen family is involved in a wide range of industries, there is really no industry that they are good at right now. Even their strongest field, culture, has fallen out of the top five.
Wen Wan smiled as she looked at Chen Daoyun, placing one hand on her leg.
"Sister Daoyun, we have indeed set our sights on a certain resource of your Chen family, and we are planning to launch a large-scale project."
"I just don't know if you have the interest and the courage to take a gamble with us."
Upon hearing this, Chen Daoyun felt relieved and took Wen Wan's hand in her right.
"Since you're so frank, why don't you tell me what you've said?"
"Alright, let our Vice President Chen explain it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Luo took out a proposal from the side and handed it to Chen Daoyun.
"Mr. Chen, please take a look and let me explain this project to you."
Chen Daoyun looked down and saw several large characters written on the cover of the proposal.
[Traditional Chinese Style Short Video Promotion Project]
"Short videos? Our Chen family has never been in that industry before."
Chen Daoyun was a little confused. The short video industry was a new one, and the Chen family had never operated one before.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't done it before, Mr. Chen, just let me explain it to you slowly."
Chen Luo began to explain the entire project to Chen Daoyun.
First, let's look at the two objectives of this project.
The first objective, of course, is to increase one's own leverage.
Both financial resources and promotional efforts contribute to real estate development and projects in other industries.
The Chen family's long tradition of scholarship led them to send some of their members out to create and operate short videos with a traditional Chinese style, sparking a trend. They then developed additional value-added products, and the resulting traffic and profits from cultural products were astonishing.
A cultural and entertainment project with huge potential can be launched immediately, and it caters to the mainstream and can receive official support.
This will not only benefit the Chen family's capital accumulation, but also help them return to the top of the cultural field.
Meanwhile, Wenwan's real estate projects can also leverage this to enhance their cultural appeal, investing in various types of traditional Chinese-style architecture, creating a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
Upon hearing the first purpose, Chen Daoyun's eyes lit up immediately.
I never expected there to be such a way of operating a project.
Although she doesn't know much about how short videos work, she has been through many ups and downs in the business world.
The combination of cultural empowerment and real estate projects is at least a pioneering initiative in China. If it is managed well, it will be a project with far-reaching influence across the country and generate substantial profits.
If this succeeds, the Chen family will forge a powerful path of development unique to them.
"Vice President Chen, you have really given me a wonderful surprise."
"So, what is your second purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo's smile remained unchanged, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
"The second objective, of course, is to use all our strength to drive these hostile foreign capitals out of the country!"
