Lu's is currently the largest group in China after Ji's. If it can obtain 5% of the shares, it already has a considerable market value.
Ning Chengen wants 15% at a time.
Moreover, this is only the engagement fee, and the actual step of getting married is another price.
However, although these 15% shares cost a lot, it would be okay if they were all given to Zhou Xiaoqing, but they were all given to the Ning family, which made Shengge and Lu Hua very unhappy.
The atmosphere in the hall became solemn for a moment, and no one spoke first for a long time.
Ning Chengen observed their expressions and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, she is a big star. Ever since she announced her identity as the daughter of the Ning family, many rich and powerful nobles have come to me to inquire about their engagement. Basically, they all give 15
% of the group’s shares, so I asked Mr. Hua what he meant.”
Lu Hua was silent.
The Lu family is not in his hands, so he can't make the decision.
Moreover, as the third young master of the Lu family, he only holds 15% of the shares in the Lu family. This share cannot be moved at will and must be approved by the family head.
Ning Chengen's engagement requires 15% of the shares, which is simply unreasonable.
Shengge smiled lightly and answered, "Is it too high a request? For the same 15% share, the market value of Lu's and other groups is absolutely incomparable."
Ning Chengen: "Because in addition to 15% of the group's shares, they will also give other gifts. It is precisely because I know that the stock price of Lujia is high that I only made this request."
Shengge was a little annoyed, offended by the duplicitous way he smiled, and bluntly criticized him:
"Master En's request is simply an exorbitant price. Xiaoqing came out of the orphanage and made her official debut from the talent show organized by our company with her own efforts. Later, her resources are provided by angle and third brother who will try their best to help her."
"Besides her own talent and hard work, behind her step-by-step success in getting the honor of being a queen is her third brother and I."
"In the past twenty years, the Ning family has not helped her for a day. Apart from giving her the status of a rich and powerful daughter, the Ning family has made no contribution to her."
"Under such circumstances, how could you have the nerve to ask the Lu family for 15% of the group's shares? And I'm afraid Xiaoqing won't be able to enjoy the money. It's all given to the Ning family."
"The Ning family is only benevolent to her, not nurturing. Even though they know that she is already in a relationship with my third brother, they treat her like a commodity and negotiate the price. Ning Chengen, you are really cool and realistic."
After being repaired by her in front of her, Ning Chengen's face was calm and there was no trace of embarrassment at all.
He took a leisurely sip of tea and said in a neither salty nor cool tone: "Sister Shengge, why should you be angry? This is just a discussion, there is still room for negotiation, don't rush it, we'll talk about it after you think it through, it won't be too late."
Shengge was too lazy to listen to his official talk, so she stood up and stroked her skirt, "Which room is Xiaoqing in? I'll go up and see her."
"She is putting on makeup and changing into a dress. It may not be convenient. Anyway, the party will start soon, and you will see her then."
No one is allowed to meet him in advance?
Shengge was very unhappy and turned away.
After taking two steps out, she turned back and said, "Sister Shengge sounds weird. From now on, I will call me Mrs. Yuye, or Mrs. Ji."
Ning Chengen's expression froze slightly, and he quickly turned into a smile: "Okay."
After coming out of the hall, Ji Yuting was waiting outside and immediately stepped forward to ask: "Shengsheng, how are you? Are you engaged successfully?"
Shengge looked solemn and shook his head.
Ji Yuting then frowned, "Ning Chengen didn't agree? But my third uncle and Ning Xiaoqing are already in a relationship. Although it hasn't been made public, they are actually together. Ning Chengen has no reason to refuse."
"I refused." Shengge lowered his eyes and explained calmly: "He asked for 15% of Lu's shares to be used as the engagement gift."
"15%?" Ji Yuting was slightly shocked, obviously he didn't expect it.
"You ask for so much right from the start. Has he been feeling itchy lately? It seems that the tasks given to him by the bureau are too leisurely. I'll go have a chat with him."
