Putting forward so many requirements and setting a time limit of only five minutes.
Interesting.
Leng Chuanjin squinted his eyes as he looked at the representative on the podium, smiling without a single flaw.
Compared with the reactions of others in the venue, he had been sitting there silently, as steady as a mountain.
However, his subordinate sitting in the front row and Yun Ye sitting beside him were already getting restless.
Even Xia Sanghuan, who wasn't very clear about the situation, felt a bit nervous under the influence of the atmosphere.
Finally, under the expectant and anxious gazes of the three of them, he finally spoke.
"Yun Ye, take out the briefcase I asked you to bring."
Yun Ye was stunned for a moment, then took the briefcase from the armrest beside him and handed it to him.
He opened the briefcase. Inside were stacks of detailed information about his own company and this company, with detailed annotations on each document.
He casually pulled out a blank piece of paper, and while flipping through the information, he took out a pen and scribbled on the back of the paper.
By the time the representative on the podium clapped his hands to signal for silence in the venue, a rough draft of the speech was already in his hand.
There were even different symbols marked at different key points to distinguish their importance.
Xia Sanghuan beside him was completely stunned.
Whether it was his ability to think on his feet or his calm attitude in dealing with things, he was far superior to ordinary people.
Was this the ability and courage of the current head of the Leng family, the leading family among the four major families?
Seeing her dazed expression, he raised his hand, wanting to pinch her cheek, but suddenly remembering something, he put his hand down again.
To avoid her noticing, he asked somewhat stiffly,
"What are you looking at?"
Finding that he was looking at her, she turned her head away shyly, not daring to look at him, and retorted stubbornly,
"Just looking around."
What kind of attitude was this? It was clearly he who invited her here.
She felt a bit annoyed in her heart, but she suppressed it.
Leng Chuanjin composed himself, looked up at the podium, and said to her,
"If your second brother wins, I'll take you out for dinner tonight."
This simple sentence broke the rift that had just formed.
While they were talking, the representative of the first bidding party had already taken the stage.
Most of the time, the presidents of companies wouldn't go on stage themselves. Usually, they would send their assistants.
However, the performances of several representatives in a row were far from satisfactory. Some of them couldn't speak continuously, some couldn't point out the key points, and some were vague about the crucial information.
Although the initiators of the bidding meeting sitting in the first row always maintained polite smiles, it was obvious that they were not satisfied with these answers.
Thanks to the examples set by the previous representatives, the performances of the following ones were a bit better, but still far from perfect.
Until a young man who looked rather young stood up and walked slowly onto the podium.
He was very eloquent. Every second counted, and every word was crucial to this small speech.
Even though they knew he was a competitor, many people in the audience couldn't help but let out exclamations of admiration.
"Whose representative is this? He has such a strong presence at such a young age."
The young man on the stage bowed to the audience, and a confident smile of a winner appeared on his lips.
The initiators of the bidding meeting were obviously most satisfied with him, not only because of his speech content.
But also because of the various conditions his company offered, which were simply too attractive.
No matter how you looked at it, he was bound to be the winner of this bidding meeting.
After watching the young man's speech, Xia Sanghuan became even more nervous than before.
What should they do?
It was obvious that the other party had come well-prepared.
She looked at Leng Chuanjin beside her uneasily, and found that he was also staring at the back of the young man.
The other party's thorough preparation for the speech and his confident expression gave him the feeling that he had known about this speech contest long ago.
He tilted his head slightly and asked Yun Ye, "Which company is this person the representative of?"
Yun Ye replied in a low voice, "Young Master, it's the new bidding party we talked about the other day."
After hearing Yun Ye's answer, his eyebrows furrowed even more.
Although nothing had happened for the time being, he always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Although the conditions offered by the young man were indeed attractive, not to mention whether a newly established company like theirs could come up with so much capital. And if they really invested according to that amount, they might suffer a great loss if things didn't go well.
How much did their company trust this company to offer such favorable terms?
Seeing that he also looked a bit troubled, Xia Sanghuan's heart sank.
She imitated his previous action, reached out her hand, and covered his.
"Don't be afraid."
Leng Chuanjin felt a bit uncomfortable and began to regret his impulsive behavior of comforting her just now.
"Yeah, I'm not afraid."
But he didn't pull his hand away either. He just let the girl's small palm rest on his.
After the young man, it would be his turn after one more person.
As he walked onto the podium, there were discussions all over the venue.
"Isn't he Leng Chuanjin from the Leng family?"
"Why is he here? I remember he wasn't on the list of bidders."
"If I had known he would come to bid, I wouldn't have come. He's definitely going to win the bid in the end."
But he acted as if he didn't hear them and walked up straight ahead.
Different from the aura of everyone before, he was as dazzling as a new king going to be crowned.
He crossed his hands and fluently recited the speech he had just drafted. In the middle, he even modified the content on the spot based on the experiences of the previous speakers.
After his speech, there was a round of thunderous applause from the audience, even louder than the applause for the young man before.
There was nothing wrong with his speech. The only drawback was that the conditions he offered were not as attractive as those offered by the young man.
But these conditions were still sufficient for a new company to use as a springboard.
Actually, it was supposed to be the representative from the venture capital company who would come up to give the speech, but to avoid any mistakes, he decided to do it himself.
It was not only to make this speech more perfect, but also to use his status to overpower everyone else.
This was the experience of a businessman he had summarized after years of struggling in the business world.
The business world was not only about business and money transactions, but also about networking.
Just when everyone thought that Leng Chuanjin was bound to win the bid, the organizer announced,
"After comprehensive consideration from various aspects, the winning bidder for this bidding is the company represented by Chen Jiayuan."
As soon as the announcement was made, the whole venue was in an uproar.
Of course, there were also some people who were eager to see Leng Chuanjin make a fool of himself.
"His speech sounded so good, but in the end, he still didn't win the bid."
Xia Sanghuan heard someone beside her whispering gleefully.
They were like a bunch of rats lurking in the dark corners of the street, constantly sizing up passers-by.
Looking at them, she couldn't help but think of this scene.
