At the dinner party, most people gathered to chat and chat in twos and threes, and not many people sat down to eat.
On such occasions, socializing and building relationships are the most important things, and eating can only be a gimmick.
Chen Mu was the only one who ate for half an hour seriously. He ate a lot of lobster, king crab, roast lamb rack, etc. The waiter next to him changed the leftover plates for him several times in a row. Gave him several glasses of orange juice.
Chen Mu had almost eaten, and continued to sit, drinking mutton soup in small sips.
The mutton soup was made really well today. I don’t know what kind of technique was used to remove all the oil in the soup. The soup is white and white. When you drink it, you only have the sweetness of mutton bones, but there is no smell of mutton. Son.
While drinking soup, suddenly another person came over and asked, "Can I sit here?"
Chen Mu raised his head and glanced at the man. He was a middle-aged man, about thirty years old, tall and tall, and looked very sunny.
In theory, anyone can sit in this empty seat, Chen Mu nodded: "You're welcome, this is not my desk alone, just sit at will."
"Thanks!"
The man sat down, and quickly introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Xu Zaitian. It's a pleasure to meet you here."
"Hello."
Chen Mu put down the bowl and waited for the next sentence.
People knew who he was, so they came here to sit down. They must have talked to him, just like the female anchor before.
Xu Zaitian said: "I heard that Mr. Chen's company has a patent for a new rice variety, right?"
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and lowered his head: "Yes."
"As for this new variety of rice, I wonder if Mr. Chen has any specific promotion plan?"
Xu Zaitian casually asked the waiter to bring a juice, and said with a smile: "I heard that this patent for a new rice variety is of great significance and will have an impact on our Northwest grain industry in the future. It must be promoted as soon as possible."
Chen Mu was a little confused about the reason for this person's visit.
Obediently, it means that he came here specially to encourage and urge him to promote new varieties of rice.
Chen Mu thought for a while, and answered patiently: "We are promoting, and the first season of 3,000 mu of rice will be planted in May."
When Xu Zaitian heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Chen's action is really fast, which coincides with what I thought. Of course, such a good product should be promoted as soon as possible."
After a slight pause, he went on to say: "However, to promote your company's new rice variety, the investment and cost must be quite a lot. I hope this will not be a hindrance to Mr. Chen's progress."
Chen Mu felt that he had heard something, but he was still a little uncertain, so he followed the other party's words and said: "The initial investment in promoting new varieties of rice must be a lot, but for the time being, our company can still support it. live."
Xu Zaitian quickly said: "Mr. Chen, if your company has any financial needs, I can definitely help you find a way."
really-
It's for money.
Chen Mu pondered for a while, and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Xu Zaitian took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Chen Mu with both hands: "Mr. Chen, I come from Sihai Investment. No matter what you need, you can talk to me."
Chen Mu took Xu Zaitian's business card, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket.
No wonder he was persuaded to promote new rice varieties and spend money as soon as he came. It turned out that he came from an investment company.
To put it bluntly, this is a solicitation of loans.
A person like Chen Mu who holds a good project in his hands happens to be the opponent's target.
Xu Zaitian continued: "Mr. Chen has received a lot of news recently, and I have also learned about Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen's company through some channels. It seems that you, Muya Forestry, have never released your equity, right
If Mr. Chen is willing to release the equity, as long as 10%, our company is willing to invest 40 million. "
Ten percent is 40 million, which is equivalent to estimating the valuation of Muya Forestry to 400 million.
This price is absolutely sky-high for an ordinary agricultural and forestry company.
Xu Zaitian's bid seemed to be full of sincerity.
But the problem is—
Muya Forestry is not an ordinary agricultural and forestry company, and the valuation of 400 million yuan is far from enough for Chen Mu.
Now Muya Forestry's annual revenue exceeds 150 million, and their seedling scale is still expanding. In the future, this will become a cash cow in Chen Mu's hands. He will not be at this juncture anyway. Divide the shares.
So, after thinking about it for a while, Chen Mu said, "Thank you Manager Xu for your support, but for the time being, our company's financial situation is still healthy, and we don't need to introduce funds."
Hearing what Chen Mu said, Xu Zaitian felt a little disappointed.
He discovered Muya Forestry by chance, and he is very optimistic about Muya Forestry.
Originally thought that offering Chen Mu a price of 40 million in exchange for 10% of the shares showed his sincerity, and even if he couldn't negotiate on the spot, it would still be enough to impress Chen Mu... But what he didn't expect was that Chen Mu would But this didn't care too much, and rejected his condition in one gulp.
He, who has always been good at observing words and expressions, found that Chen Mu really didn't mean to ask for money. There are only two possibilities for this. One is that he is really not short of money, and the other is that he is not satisfied with the price.
After pondering for a while, Xu Zaitian said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, everything in this world is uncertain. No matter what happens in the future, if Mr. Chen needs money, you can just come to me. I will definitely help you." Mr. Chen will not be allowed to return empty-handed."
Chen Mu said perfunctorily: "Manager Xu, please rest assured that if there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely give priority to cooperating with you."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
Xu Zaitian smiled and did not continue this topic.
Chen Mu's refusal now does not mean that he will always refuse in the future. Xu Zaitian thinks that the terms he offered should be the best. If it were any other investment company, it would be impossible to offer such good terms to Chen Mu.
Therefore, he believes that as long as Chen Mu needs money one day, he will definitely think of him. This is enough for him, and he has achieved his goal.
The two then chatted about other things. Xu Zaitian is a person who is very good at chatting. Whether it is industry news or entertainment gossip, he can easily come up with it without leaving any silence.
When chatting with him, Chen Mu didn't need to think of topics by himself, so it was very relaxed.
After a while, Young Master Li, who had disappeared for a long time, turned back, glanced at Xu Zaitian, nodded, and said to Chen Mu, "Go, I'll take you to meet some friends."
Chen Mu and Xu Zaitian greeted each other and left quickly with Young Master Li.
Xu Zaitian obviously recognized Young Master Li, and after Chen Mu walked away with Young Master Li, he murmured to himself, "How could he get so close to the young master of the Li family? Hmm... it's because he has to be short of money... It seems... this Things are difficult... "
