Chapter 922 Shameless

When Li Qianhaocheng left, it was almost dawn.

But even so, after Li Qianhaocheng left, Shi Lei still seriously considered the possibility of developing overseas markets.

The first thing to be determined is that the overseas market must have nothing to do with the domestic market. It can be integrated in the future, but from the beginning, it must be a completely independent part.

Whether it is the company's own operations, financing, and future asset settlement, etc., they must be completely independent.

Otherwise, if the overseas market development is not smooth, it will seriously affect the domestic market and Qixuan's own valuation.

After he had a draft in his mind, Shi Lei looked at the time. It was more than six in the morning, and it should be more than two in the afternoon in China.

He called Dong Chiqing. Shi Lei wanted to discuss this matter with him on the phone first.

Dong Chiqing received the call and answered it with a smile.

"Master Shi, why are you calling me so early? It's only six o'clock in London, right? What's going on? Did you stay up all night on Christmas?"

Shi Lei smiled. He heard the old-fashioned connotation in Dong Chiqing's words and said, "It's true that I didn't sleep all night, but I was talking to a man."

"Master Shi, are you interested in men now?"

"Haha, don't make a fuss. You probably know this man, Li Qian Haocheng."

"Mr. Qian! Haha, this guy is so exaggerated. Can you stand him, Master Shi?"

"I couldn't stand it at first, but then he succumbed to my charm." Shi Lei simply recounted what happened last night, and Dong Chiqing laughed.

"That guy is like this. He's actually a good person, but he's too exaggerated to stand. Isn't it that they're shooting a TV series, and there's a character in it that uses his personality as a template."

Shi Lei didn't care about TV series, so he didn't ask much. He told Dong Chiqing about Li Qian Haocheng's thoughts.

Dong Chiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Shi, you can make the decision on this matter. There is no need to inform me. Anyway, when starting in the UK, we must completely sever ties with the domestic side, otherwise it will affect each other, which is not a good thing."

"Well, I think so too, but after all, the company is not mine alone, I must discuss it with you."

"Then I have to thank you. If you do this alone and succeed in merging the two companies, I have nothing to say."

"Then let's make a preliminary agreement. When I return to China in a few days, I will bring Li Qianhaocheng with me, and the three of us will have a meeting and see what our other shareholders say."

Dong Chiqing agreed, but said, "I don't think it's necessary to explain this to the company's shareholders. , we can't just use the Qixuan brand to invest, cash must be paid. My personal opinion is that Qixuan uses the brand to invest, and does not bear any cash costs. Then the three of us discuss a suitable investment ratio and shareholding ratio, and this matter will be completed. To be honest, if we really want to invest in the name of Qixuan, our current valuation is good, but we can't take out too much cash, so it's better for the two brothers to spend it separately. "

Shi Lei felt that this matter still needed to be considered in the long run, so he said: "Then let's make a temporary intention and talk about it when we return to China."

"Okay, I'll welcome you when you return to China."

After that, Shi Lei put down the phone and went to sleep. He was still thinking about this matter in his mind. He felt that he still had to discuss it with Yao Er.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Lei was awakened by a phone call. He didn't look at his phone in a daze and answered the call directly.

"Hello, Mr. Shi, I'm Dai Zhenxing..."

Shi Lei was startled, and his sleepiness disappeared. He said, "Oh, Mr. Dai, sorry, I just woke up..."

Dai Zhenxing laughed and said, "Yesterday was Christmas, and Mr. Shi must have had a lot of fun. Otherwise, Mr. Shi, take a rest. I want to treat Mr. Shi to dinner today."

Shi Lei knew what Dai Zhenxing was thinking about, and it would be bad to refuse blindly, so he said, "We've almost slept, so let's have afternoon tea together. I may have some things to do for dinner. I'll wait for Mr. Dai to come back. Huaxia, I will do my best to be a good host. ”

Dai Zhenxing smiled and said, “That’s fine. We can’t delay Mr. Shi’s business. Which hotel is Mr. Shi staying in? How about I pick you up?”

Shi Lei hesitated for a moment, but still told Dai Zhenxing the hotel and said, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Dai, I have to trouble you to pick me up. I just woke up and it will take some time to wash up, otherwise I would go to you directly.”

“Mr. Shi is too polite. I will go to the hotel to find you as soon as I get ready.”

After that, Shi Lei got up and washed up, and called Crawford again.

“Mr. Scola, I’m sorry. I was dragged by Li Qian to chat until dawn last night. I may not be in a good mental state today. I will come to your house to bother you tomorrow.”

Although Crawford felt a little regretful, he also knew that this was not a matter of urgency, so he said, “It’s okay, Mr. Shi, you should have a good rest. Painting is a very mentally exhausting thing. This can’t be rushed.”

As soon as the phone was hung up, Dai Zhenxing had already arrived at the hotel.

Shi Lei went downstairs, and after the two met, they simply found a place near the hotel to have afternoon tea.

London is no longer the foggy city of decades ago. The air in London is not bad now. The warm afternoon sun shines on the body, making people feel comfortable.

But Shi Lei knew that his conversation with Dai Zhenxing would not be too comfortable. The other party's demands were too obvious, but Shi Lei did not want to be a springboard for the other party to intervene in government projects.

Dai Zhenxing's attitude was very sincere. He kept introducing to Shi Lei that his company's products were very popular in the UK and had always cooperated with the government.

Shi Lei always cautiously stated that his company had a small capital and a small profit, and it was really impossible to use these expensive environmentally friendly materials. Moreover, the bicycles themselves were basically made of renewable and reusable materials, so there was really no need to use environmentally friendly materials.

"Mr. Dai, I'm really sorry. The shared bicycle model requires the bicycles themselves to be heavier so that their various costs can be minimized. Of course, I know that environmentally friendly materials are light and easy to use, but this lightness itself has become the aspect we least need. I am very happy to make friends like you, but I am afraid that cooperation cannot be carried out for the time being. If there is an opportunity in the future, and we have a demand for environmentally friendly materials, I will definitely consider Mr. Dai first."

Hearing Shi Lei's obvious refusal, Dai Zhenxing knew that it was useless to say anything more, and his face became a little ugly.

"Haha, cooperation itself requires both parties to be willing, and this cannot be forced. Then, I look forward to the time when Mr. Shi needs cooperation."

Shi Lei could see that Dai Zhenxing was not very kind-hearted, and he was afraid that he had offended him.

But let him be offended. The mountains are high and the land is far away, and Dai Zhenxing has no chance of tripping him up.

After chatting for a few more words, Shi Lei also saw that Dai Zhenxing was not in a good mood, so he said: "Thank you Mr. Dai for your warm invitation. I have some official business to deal with later, so let's say goodbye. When Mr. Dai comes to China as a guest, I will definitely entertain him well."

Dai Zhenxing stood up and said: "Since Mr. Shi is busy with official business, I won't keep you any longer. See you next time."

Shi Lei nodded and said goodbye. Dai Zhenxing stood there and watched Shi Lei's back disappear.

There was a bit of resentment in his eyes. When Shi Lei's back completely disappeared, Dai Zhenxing finally squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Shame on you!"
