Zhou Chongming was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, chatting animatedly with a strange beauty he had just met.
The manager also recognized Lu Beifeng and noticed that there was a beautiful woman named Qiao Lin beside him. He felt envious and said in a very subtle way: "Mr. Lu, you checked out not long after you left yesterday."
Lu Beifeng nodded to indicate that he understood and didn't care much. He asked Zhou Chongming to leave together. He had made an appointment with Chen Shaojie on the phone to meet at a quieter place.
"I'm leaving first. Let's chat on WeChat."
Zhou Chongming reluctantly waved goodbye to the strange beauty and was surprised to see Qiao Lin, "Beauty Qiao, why are you here too?"
Qiao Lin didn't give him a good look and spat: "Scumbag."
Zhou Chongming looked innocent, held Lu Beifeng's shoulders and said aggrievedly: "Is this considered a double standard?"
Lu Beifeng chuckled and shook his head: "It doesn't count."
"Why?"
Lu Beifeng was proud: "I'm more handsome than you!"
The two of them talked in a low voice, but Qiao Lin still heard it and snorted: "They are of the same species."
Zhou Chongming: "I feel comfortable."
Lu Beifeng: "..."
We came to a coffee shop near the hotel.
In the box, Zhou Chongming crossed his legs and asked, "Who are you going to see?"
Lu Beifeng said: "My name is Chen Shaojie when I was young. I plan to invest in a new company, so I'll give you a share."
Zhou Chongming sat up straight in an instant, his eyes brightened, and he immediately became energetic: "How much share do you want me to hold?"
He has deep faith in Lu Beifeng's strategic vision, and no one can match him at the macro level, otherwise he would not be unfavorable in the international market.
No matter what company Lu Beifeng invests in, Zhou Chongming intends to maximize his shareholding.
Firstly, he trusts Lu Beifeng, and secondly, it can deepen their friendship.
Lu Beifeng was surprised: "You don't want to know what industry it is?"
Zhou Chongming grinned broadly and said, "No need, no need." There was a hint of trust in his words.
Lu Beifeng was silent for a while and said: "The new energy industry holds 10%-20% of the shares. You can choose it yourself."
Zhou Chongming frowned and asked: "It's a big investment?"
"It's big."
Lu Beifeng said directly: "Let's put it this way. The funds I have at the moment may not be enough."
When Zhou Chongming heard this, his scalp felt numb.
He knew that the funds Lu Beifeng controlled would not be less than 40 billion. If he held 20% of the shares, he would have to prepare at least 10 billion or more.
Zhou Chongming gritted his teeth and said, "I want 20%. At worst, I will mortgage 3% of Shengshi Group's shares."
Shengshi Group is his family's property and is a comprehensive real estate company with a market value of about 230 billion on the Hong Kong stock market.
This 3% share was a gift from his mother, and it will also be relied upon to inherit the family business in the future.
If the old man of his family retires in the future and Zhou Chongming's shares cannot be redeemed, then the balance of shares will be broken. If it is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, Shengshi Group is likely to change hands.
This is no less than committing suicide.
Lu Beifeng was shocked. He didn't expect Zhou Chongming to have such great courage. He couldn't laugh or cry: "What's the rush? I'll invest one billion in the initial stage and we'll add more later depending on the situation."
Damn, I've already pretended.
Naturally, the pattern cannot be small. Zhou Chongming sneered: "That's it? Then you can just figure it out."
Qiao Lin whispered: "He really deserves a beating."
Lu Beifeng nodded in agreement and suggested: "How about you give him a slap and I will be responsible?"
"Really?" Qiao Lin was eager to give it a try.
Zhou Chongming raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Don't, I was wrong."
With Qiao Lin at the scene, the two drafted the company's share contract and decided on the company's name.
"Tianhuo Technology Co., Ltd."
The initial investment amount is one billion yuan. Lu Beifeng invested 800 million yuan and held 80% of the shares, with absolute say. Zhou Chongming invested 200 million yuan and held 20% of the shares.
Not long after, Chen Shaojie also arrived. He was tall and tall in a suit and tie, his hair was meticulously combed, and he had a strong business temperament. Lu Beifeng seemed to see that the high-spirited deputy director was back.
Just such a comparison, Lu Beifeng and Zhou Chongming are more like two unemployed vagrants.
Lu Beifeng asked Chen Shaojie to sit down and introduced them to each other.
"Qiao Lin is responsible for capital expenditures and flow review. In the early stage, he will stay in Tianhu to help the company set up the financial department."
"The eldest son of Zhou Chongming Shengshi Group, one of the company's shareholders, is just joining in the fun and will not interfere in the company's daily operations."
"This is Chen Shaojie. He graduated from the Automotive Engineering Department of Hefei University of Technology. He worked for Volkswagen and was promoted to the deputy director of the marketing department in four years. He resigned and went home last year and later became the general manager of our Tianhuo Technology."
A few people exchanged pleasantries and exchanged contact information.
Zhou Chongming looked at Chen Shaojie and at the same time glanced at Lu Beifeng, who nodded slightly.
Only then did Zhou Chongming ask: "Mr. Chen, he served as the deputy director of the marketing department only four years after joining the job. He has been promoted step by step. Would you mind telling me why you chose to resign?"
The person was chosen by Lu Beifeng. Out of respect for Lu Beifeng, Zhou Chongming asked openly.
Otherwise, he could have investigated secretly, but no matter whether he found something or not, once Lu Beifeng knew about it, there would definitely be an estrangement.
This is what he doesn't want to see.
"do not mind."
Chen Shaojie shook his head, pondered for a moment, and explained in a more objective tone: "Last year, China Insurance Research Institute announced the crash test results of Passat."
"The speed is 65 kilometers per hour, and the 25% small-area collision seriously threatens the driver's life safety. The airbag also deflected during the collision."
"In one fell swoop, it became the worst-safe vehicle since the establishment of the agency."
"A few months before that, the same American model had achieved excellent results in crash tests."
"Once the news was announced, it pushed the brand to the forefront."
Chen Shaojie paused and continued: "I have read the research report carefully, and I can guarantee its authenticity."
"This brand is no longer what it used to be. It blindly caters to the preferences of the Chinese people and lengthens and makes the car bigger. The overall safety structure of the car has been destroyed, and both quality and safety are gradually declining."
"What happened was unexpected, but it is also reasonable."
"Now that things have come to this, some people have to be sacrificed to calm the public's anger..."
Chen Shaojie did not continue talking. It was obvious that he was the lucky one who was selected.
Well, yes, he is the lucky one.
Zhou Chongming thinks so, and it is very common in some large companies and enterprises.
The current social environment is too impetuous and full of negative energy such as Buddhism, mourning, low desires, and equality.
As a company leader, it is natural to select a few hard-working and capable lucky ones among young people to set examples, so as to inspire the fighting spirit of others and work hard for the boss to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible.
As long as nothing happens, these lucky people will rise step by step and become winners in life.
If an accident occurs along the way, these lucky people who are young, have high positions, have low qualifications, and have no foundation are naturally the best choice to pull them out to worship the heavens.
