"You probably don't know much about high - tech industries. Our company is currently making a profit. The annual profit is around 20 million. We can't accept a price of 30 million." Leaning back in his chair, Zhang Yong planned to raise the price. After all, Shen Nanyi looked very young and seemed easy to deceive. Besides, rich people were supposed to not care much about money.
Hearing Zhang Yong's words, Shen Nanyi suddenly burst into laughter, leaving the two people present confused.
"Mr. Zhang, if you think someone will be willing to acquire your company in a short time, just ignore what I said. 30 million is the highest price we can offer. People from the Ji Group are waiting at the door. If you can't come up with this amount of money within half an hour, we'll have to take legal action." Shen Nanyi stated the situation Zhang Yong was facing and the fact that he had to accept this price in a few straightforward sentences.
To prove that what she said was true, a man at the table next to them waved at Zhang Yong. It was none other than the legal counsel of the Ji Group who had gone to his company today.
Time was pressing. Shen Nanyi had made full preparations this time and must get Zhang Yong to sign the contract in a short time.
"Aren't you from the Shen Group? Why do they listen to you?" Zhang Yong felt that his worldview was being shaken. He looked at Shen Nanyi in surprise.
He originally thought it was already remarkable that Shen Nanyi had the backing of the Shen Group. But he never expected that people from the Ji Group would also listen to her so obediently. Moreover, their attitude seemed to suggest that they were quite afraid of her. What was going on?
"Oh, it's nothing. My boyfriend happens to be Ji Beichuan." Shen Nanyi spoke softly. Although her voice was calm, the sweetness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
It really felt good to have someone as a strong backing.
Hearing Shen Nanyi's words, Li Fu beside her shivered imperceptibly. He had known that the Shen Group and the Ji Group had a good relationship before, but he never expected Shen Nanyi to admit it personally.
Thinking that he must hold on tightly to this powerful connection, Li Fu quietly called over a waiter and slipped his business card to him.
"The Ji Group is, after all, a large international company. Aren't they afraid of leaving a bad impression by doing this? Our small company is hardly worthy of such attention from a big company like the Ji Group. It turns out it's because of Miss Shen. Do you think the media will be interested if I sell this news to them?" Zhang Yong still wanted to make a last - ditch effort and negotiate with Shen Nanyi. He was definitely going to sell the company, but what he was struggling with now was just the price.
Shen Nanyi laughed out loud as if she had heard something really funny. "It doesn't matter even if you tell the media. People in the media will only think that Ji Beichuan is willing to do things for me."
Speaking without a care in the world, Shen Nanyi didn't think this would have any negative impact on the Ji Group. On the contrary, some fans of the couple might even think Ji Beichuan was manly, which could have a positive impact on the company.
"..." Zhang Yong fell completely silent. He had no bargaining chips at all. He originally thought this matter might pose a little threat to Shen Nanyi, but he never expected that she simply didn't care.
"Here is a check for 30 million. Sign your name, and this money will be yours. I'll give you one minute to think. Apart from me, no one else will acquire your company." Shen Nanyi said as she placed a check on the table. The long string of zeros on it made Zhang Yong waver a bit.
On one hand, the legal department of the Ji Group was right beside them. On the other hand, there was a check. Whether to take the check or go through the legal process was not a difficult choice.
Even before 30 seconds had passed, Zhang Yong had already made up his mind. He quickly signed his name, looking extremely reluctant.
"Task completed." When Zhang Yong signed his name, the voice of the system in Shen Nanyi's mind sounded. Finally, Shen Nanyi's task was completed, and there were less than three minutes left before the time limit set by the system.
Wiping the sweat from her palms imperceptibly, Shen Nanyi was even more nervous than Zhang Yong. If Zhang Yong didn't sign the contract, he would only lose some money and face prison. But if she couldn't persuade Zhang Yong to sign the contract, it might be a disaster for her.
After signing the contract, Zhang Yong quickly picked up the check and rushed out. He didn't want to stay there any longer, fearing that he would get angry if he saw Shen Nanyi.
"The system task is activated. Please double the profit of the task funds spent within one month." Before Shen Nanyi could even catch her breath, the system's task sounded again. This time, instead of asking Shen Nanyi to spend money, it asked her to make money.
Hearing this amount, Shen Nanyi felt a headache coming on.
According to the normal investment return rate, a return rate of over 30% was already considered a high - income investment. Not to mention that she had to get the capital back within a month. This was simply an impossible task!
"Miss Shen, is there anything else I can help you with?" Li Fu had said a few words, but Shen Nanyi didn't seem to come back to her senses. Finally, Li Fu had to raise his voice. She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to get close to someone powerful.
Finally, Shen Nanyi came back to her senses. Looking at Li Fu, she seemed to come up with an idea. "Are you familiar with the development department of the government? I want to discuss a business deal with them. Could you please arrange a dinner for everyone later?"
Thinking about the numerous tourist attractions in City C, Shen Nanyi thought that if she spent some money to solve the transportation problem, it might be possible to get the capital back in a short time.
It was a pity that she didn't have any connections in City C. Since there was a local person like Li Fu right in front of her, Shen Nanyi thought she could make use of his connections.
Hearing that Shen Nanyi seemed to have a big project in mind and that she would invite him to meet government officials with her, Li Fu immediately agreed and said that he would arrange it as soon as possible.
After taking care of everything, Shen Nanyi returned to the hotel and planned to have a good sleep. She had just fallen asleep for a while when Li Fu's phone call came.
It had to be said that Li Fu was extremely efficient. The government officials had already been arranged to meet Shen Nanyi this afternoon.
The economic development in City C had been rather sluggish recently, and the GDP of City C was closely related to the future careers of the government officials. As soon as they heard about the large - scale investment, the people from the development department couldn't wait to meet Shen Nanyi.
Half - asleep, Shen Nanyi listened to Li Fu tell her the time, said that she got it, and then hung up the phone.
Vaguely, Shen Nanyi felt something touching her face. Opening her eyes, she saw someone she didn't expect to see.
Ji Beichuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, pinching Shen Nanyi's cheek with one hand. It was hard to tell how long he had been sitting there. Seeing Shen Nanyi wake up, he looked at her with a big smile.
The moment she saw Ji Beichuan, Shen Nanyi first rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
