Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 233 - 156: Take You Upstairs? Sorry, We Don’t Offer That Service

Liang Xiuyun is quite a shrewd person; after all, being able to rise to her position means she couldn’t have succeeded with even slightly less ability or wit.

She was also pondering that since Yang Chen is the third-largest shareholder of the Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm, he definitely has an obligation to help the firm bring in business.

If she exchanged the cooperation agreement between Shengjin and Zhang Sanfeng for an opportunity for Shengjin to invest in Jinshan Resort, would Yang Chen agree?

Liang Xiuyun rolled her eyes at Chen Liang again.

Chen Liang was bewildered, thinking to himself, "I haven’t done anything, why is she glaring at me again?"

Sigh, it’s precisely because he did nothing that he was wrong again.

This dinner meeting was organized by him; now that Zhang Xiang’s identity was clear, shouldn’t he have immediately invited Zhang Xiang to join?

Must it really wait until the boss speaks to know what to do?

Being fresh out of school, it’s quite normal not to understand some things.

But trying to start out as a vice president, lacking the virtue for the position, is not quite right.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Chen Liang, can we add a seat?"

Only then did Chen Liang realize, quickly nodding and responding, "Yes, yes. Waiter, add a seat."

If she wasn’t afraid of completely angering Yang Chen, Liang Xiuyun really wanted to throw Chen Liang out to save him from further embarrassment.

Watching Yang Chen and Liang Xiuyun talk and laugh together, Chen Liang felt quite uncomfortable, but he finally recognized the reality — he and Yang Chen were not on the same level at all.

Having eaten and drunk well, it was time to discuss business.

Liang Xiuyun said with a smile, "President Yang is the third-largest shareholder of Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm and also an old friend of our Shengjin’s vice president, so we are all one family. I won’t fuss over the Shengjin and Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm’s contract; let’s just do as Lawyer Zhang suggests. We’re all family; there’s no need to fuss over trivial details."

Liang Xiuyun knew how to speak properly — first, establishing a connection with Yang Chen, and then proactively showing sincerity. As long as Yang Chen was willing to accept Shengjin’s investment in Jinshan Resort, there would surely be a response in return.

If Yang Chen wasn’t willing to accept the investment in the resort, Liang Xiuyun could still find excuses to continue delaying the signing with Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm.

This is the depth of a seasoned professional — advancing and retreating smoothly. Chen Liang wouldn’t understand even in decades.

Yang Chen wasn’t an unreasonable person either; since Liang Xiuyun had shown sincerity, he certainly needed to respond.

With the inclusion of a US investment bank, if operated well, making the resort a listed company in the future wouldn’t be impossible.

Zhang Xiang said happily, "Thank you, President Liang. Come, I toast to President Liang alone with this cup."

After all, it was a big order with a yearly service fee of 3 million; Zhang Xiang also needed to appreciate the human interactions.

Liang Xiuyun happily raised her glass and clinked it with Zhang Xiang.

After they put down their glasses, Yang Chen smiled and said, "Since we’re all family, naturally, we must keep each other in mind for good projects. Listening to President Liang, does Shengjin want to invest in Jinshan Resort?"

Liang Xiuyun’s eyes lit up, quickly nodding and responding, "Yes! I took a stroll around and felt that Jinshan Resort certainly has something, more attractive than other resorts. Plus, with such a young and visionary boss like President Yang having acquired it, even though it’s currently losing money, I believe it has a very bright future. We at Shengjin are truly very interested, and I hope President Yang can bear to part with some shares for us."

Yang Chen nodded and asked, "So, President Liang, how much money do you want to invest in exchange for how many shares?"

Liang Xiuyun extended one finger, saying, "Ten million US dollars for 49% of the shares."

Yang Chen spent 90 million to acquire Jinshan Resort and She Mountain Resort, which is equivalent to 45 million each.

Liang Xiuyun’s offer of over 6 million to buy 49% of Jinshan Resort’s shares was indeed very sincere.

However, when negotiating, one should always strive for more benefits for oneself, even if the other party disagrees; the standard process still needs to be followed.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "That won’t do, either fifteen million US dollars for 49% of the shares or ten million US dollars for 35% of the shares."

On the side, Zhang Chunfa was dumbfounded. This guy was too harsh, asking for such a high price.

Liang Xiuyun furrowed her brow, pondered for a moment, and replied, "President Yang, your asking price is too high. We’ve already offered a premium, but your price has more than doubled; it’s simply too high."

Yang Chen: "It’s not high at all. There is a natural environmental advantage here; with substantial capital investment and proper development, it can definitely be turned into a well-known resort. By then, the affluent tourists from Hai City, Zhejiang, and Su City will surely come in an endless stream. At most, you can recoup your investment costs within about five years, and the shares you hold will be pure profit, with an annual return rate as high as 20%. You still think my asking price is too high?"

Liang Xiuyun shook her head and said, "No, President Yang’s asking price is too high. How about this, let’s stick with ten million US dollars for 40% of the shares; it’s the highest offer our company can accept. I hope President Yang can consider my offer, seeing how sincere I am."

Yang Chen had only spent 45 million to acquire Jinshan Resort; Liang Xiuyun’s initial offer of ten million US dollars, equivalent to over 6 million Dragon Country Coins for 49% of the shares, already meant a great profit for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen was merely going through the bargaining motions; now that Liang Xiuyun amended her offer to 40% of the shares, it was certainly acceptable.

After all, Yang Chen indeed needed a partner from the investment banking sector, and with some operation, it might actually go public in the future.
