211: Chapter 210 The Chen Group – Victory!
"Quite a good show."
After a long silence, the Middle-aged man finally spoke: "Chairman Chen, you have good methods. We have learned our lesson; we have lost this round."
young man beside him changed expression slightly: "President Feng..."
The Middle-aged man raised his hand, stopping young man from speaking, and cast his gaze toward Liu Yemei.
It was the appearance of this woman that caused their carefully constructed situation to collapse, turning a situation where they had victory in their grasp into one full of loopholes and leaving them extremely passive.
He saw all of this.
But...
The Middle-aged man glanced slightly at Chen Zhongxuan, who stood calmly beside Liu Yemei, withdrew his gaze, and then spoke: "Ms. Liu Yemei, is it?"
Liu Yemei, who was thinking about something, raised her head upon hearing this and looked at the Middle-aged man, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Has your company really thought it through?" the Middle-aged man said indifferently: "Chen Group may not be a very good choice for technology transfer. If your company really cares about these technologies and wants to promote them quickly, I think Qianhuan Group, with its professional technical team, would be a better choice."
young man's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke: "Yes, Ms. Liu. I assure you that Qianhuan Group will definitely be a better choice than Chen Group. Whether it is technical strength, personnel structure, or industrial scale, it is more mature than Chen Group. Furthermore, if you are willing to invest the aforementioned technology into Qianhuan Group, Qianhuan Group will double the offer made by Chen Group. You can choose between stock or cash."
Money was never an issue for Maple Leaf Capital; the problem was... what this money could buy.
If they could trade ten billion for a Chen Group, then this deal would be more than worth it. What's more, the value of those technical documents was also quite high.
His old man's vision was truly sharp; he saw through the essence of this matter at a glance.
At this very moment, the person playing against Maple Leaf Capital was no longer Chen Zhongxuan and Chen Group, but this woman who had popped out of nowhere and the Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. behind her.
The stance of this company directly determined the outcome of this game and the ownership of Chen Group.
Director Chen Yuren looked at Liu Yemei, and seeing her brows tightly knit, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
This was ten billion! Even for Chen Group, this was a sum of capital that could determine the life or death of the group, let alone Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., which was just a small company established not long ago. This ten billion was enough to buy and sell Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. ten times over without repeating.
Who wouldn't be tempted?
Chen Zhongxuan's mouth twitched as he listened.
Maple Leaf Capital was truly unscrupulous. When underhanded tactics didn't work, they went straight for the overt ones, throwing money around—throwing ten billion directly. Who could handle that?
He knew that the kid Wang Shuo was very short of money recently. That girl Xiner had even cashed out the dowry he had prepared for her to use. She claimed it was an investment, but who with a discerning eye couldn't see that this was just giving it directly to Wang Shuo?
And this kid Wang Shuo actually accepted it without hesitation and used it very skillfully.
For a moment, Chen Zhongxuan was actually a bit glad that Wang Shuo was not present today; otherwise, he really doubted the kid's resolve in the face of money.
Liu Yemei's brows furrowed even deeper, and she shook her head slightly.
"Ms. Liu, are you dissatisfied with the offer?" young man was not surprised; he smiled slightly. Smashing people with money was a track he was familiar with, and he was very confident: "I don't think this number is satisfactory either. How about we increase this offer by another twenty percent? How about that?"
Director Chen Yuren felt even more stifled listening to this.
Chen Zhongxuan was also extremely envious.
This wasn't just a few hundred or a thousand ten-thousands; this was two billion!
When spoken by young man, it sounded as easy and casual as adding twenty yuan. Even the Middle-aged man didn't show any reaction; it was clear that this was not their bottom line.
Liu Yemei shook her head again.
"Ms. Liu." The smile on young man's face was somewhat strained. Maple Leaf Capital did indeed have a lot of money, but it wasn't to be spent recklessly: "This is no small sum. Would you like to contact your boss?"
"No need. When I came here, our President Wang had already instructed that this part of the technical data is only to be invested in Chen Group. Besides..." Liu Yemei's tone was indifferent: "Our President Wang is very busy and has no time to deal with these trivial matters."
young man: "..."
Since when did a matter concerning the ownership of a hundred-billion-level group become a trivial matter? Even their Maple Leaf Group wouldn't dare to speak such big words.
Looking at Liu Yemei's calm expression, young man didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only cast a look of help toward the Middle-aged man beside him.
"Ms. Liu Yemei." The Middle-aged man spoke: "Has your company really thought it through?"
Liu Yemei's brows furrowed as she looked at the Middle-aged man. This was the second time today the Middle-aged man had said the same thing.
"Before your company now stands Maple Leaf Capital." The Middle-aged man's voice was muffled: "We are one of the world's largest venture capital firms today. In the whole world, there are only two venture capital firms that can compare with ours. Even though our firm is only the China branch, we possess assets of over a trillion, and the Chinese companies we have invested in are countless, spread across every industry. Whether your company prospers depends on me; whether your company fails also depends on me!"
"So, regarding investing in Chen Group, has your company really considered the consequences?"
The venue fell into silence for a moment. This was a naked threat. First came the enticement, and when that failed, came the direct threat. This was the style of Maple Leaf Capital.
Not obedient? Then they would just block and kill you off directly.
It didn't matter what industry you were in, what your origins were, or what kind of background you had.
This was the world of capital, following the rules of the game of capital. The market was greater than everything. Face was worthless here; even national power had to concede before the market.
Here, Maple Leaf Capital was the chess player. Here, Chen Group was merely a chess piece.
The reason Maple Leaf Capital used covert tactics against Chen Group was due to various reasons, but the most important reason was that Maple Leaf Capital did not want to make their eating habits look too ugly, as this would be detrimental to their reputation.
But for an "unwise" "small company" like Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., Maple Leaf Capital directly adopted very straightforward tactics—clear and distinct, with no reasoning to be discussed.
Domineering? Indeed, it was domineering. Reasonable? Standing from the position of Maple Leaf Capital, this was very reasonable—this was also to maintain the prestige of Maple Leaf Capital.
Maple Leaf Capital could hold back without acting, could stand on its prestige, but would never allow itself to be provoked.
They had this capital, just as the Middle-aged man said: Whether you prosper depends on me; whether you fail, it also depends on me!
You don't accept it? Hold it in!
The Middle-aged man was very skilled at this kind of thing, but this time, the situation seemed to be somewhat out of control.
"What is it, President Feng." Chen Zhongxuan let out a cold laugh: "Pressuring a young person is not something someone of your status should be doing."
The Middle-aged man ignored him. At this moment, in his eyes, Chen Zhongxuan was no longer the most important person; he just quietly watched Liu Yemei.
Under his gaze, Liu Yemei raised her head slightly and said indifferently: "Our President Wang's decision is the company's decision. Before our President Wang changes the decision, I will follow it unconditionally. On the contrary, President Feng and Maple Leaf Capital, what is the meaning of saying this? Are you preparing to breach the contract?"
"Very good." The Middle-aged man gave Liu Yemei a deep look, "I hope your company will not have a day of regret."
After speaking, the Middle-aged man stood up, and the personnel of Maple Leaf Capital followed suit.
"I announce that the conditions for the gambling agreement between Qianhuan Group and Chen Group have been met. Chen Group — Win!"
