Chapter 397 Does Mr. Tang Seem Like a Bad Person?

"Jianyang, do you think I'm a bad person?"

In the office of the general manager of Linji Group, Tang Zifeng put down the phone in his hand and asked Zhang Jianyang who was sitting opposite him without thinking.

Zhang Jianyang was stunned, and then said angrily: "Mr. Tang, who said you are a bad person! Tell me, I will find someone to deal with him!"

"It's Xiaohui..."

"It's Xiaohui...well, how could this girl say that? She must be joking with you, Mr. Tang..."

Zhang Jianyang's tone immediately softened. Yu Xiaohui is a disciple of Lin Yiji, and she worked under Zhang Jianyang back then, so Zhang Jianyang is naturally not afraid of her. But Zhang Jianyang also knew that Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun treated Yu Xiaohui as if they were their own children. If Yu Xiaohui really said bad things about Tang Zifeng, it would be a daughter acting coquettishly towards her father. Who would have to deal with him as an outsider? Talkative.

"It wasn't Xiaohui who said it. It was Xiaohui who called me and said that her boyfriend was interested in an investment project. She didn't dare to tell me for fear that I would get in the way. Don't you think she is treating me as a bad person? "?" Tang Zifeng chuckled and completed what he had just half said.

Zhang Jianyang couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his head. Alas, he let this young leader fool him again. But then again, if the leader can joke with me, it means that he does not regard himself as an outsider, and he should feel happy.

Thinking of this, he also changed his smile and said: "Xiaohui's boyfriend seems to be called Su Hua. Isn't it said that his computer skills are particularly high? He has taken a fancy to some investment project, and he is actually afraid of Mr. Tang's intervention. What a joke? Is this kid obsessed with money? Mr. Tang, what kind of person are you?"

"Oh, this makes me want to look towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Tang Zifeng said with emotion.

"Yes, yes, there are too many such ignorant people nowadays." Zhang Jianyang looked at Tang Zifeng's face, and then said cautiously, "Mr. Tang, you are talking about Xia Zhenfa. I think the planning department didn’t say something clearly when they communicated with him, causing them to misunderstand.”

When Tang Zifeng followed Zhou Heng to Linyiji, Zhang Jianyang was the deputy director of Linyiji's office, and his job was to wait on the leader. Over the years, Zhang Jianyang has been promoted and has become the deputy general manager of Linji Group, but his ability to observe people's faces has not diminished at all. On the surface, Tang Zifeng was complaining about Su Hua, but Zhang Jianyang knew that his emotion was directed at another matter.

Two weeks ago, Han Weichang, the general manager of the sales company, brought back news that a private machine tool company in Jinnan was developing a new technology that was related to the "large-size, high-hardness special rotating surface" that had not been solved by Ouyang Kang, a professor at Mingxi University of Technology. "Cutting" technology is somewhat related.

Han Weichang chatted with Xia Zhenfa, the owner of this company, and learned that his company had spent five or six years on this technology and invested as much as 20 to 30 million yuan. Now that the technology has begun to take shape, Xia Zhenfa has spent all his money and can no longer continue research.

Han Weichang comes from a craftsmanship background and is very sensitive to technology. After a brief exchange with Xia Zhenfa, he knew how far the other party had achieved and how valuable this technology was currently. Han Weichang knew that Tang Zifeng had always focused on technology development and would definitely be interested in this matter, so he mentioned the matter to Tang Zifeng when he returned to the group for a meeting.

Sure enough, after listening to Han Weichang's introduction, Tang Zifeng immediately ordered the group's planning department to send someone to contact Xia Zhenfa, expressing that Linji Group was interested in funding this technology and asking Xia Zhenfa to provide conditions for cooperation.

According to the prior estimates of Tang Zifeng, Zhang Jianyang and others, Xia Zhenfa should not refuse the funding from Linji Group. The only suspense is what kind of cooperation conditions he will propose. Of course, as a business negotiation skill, Xia Zhenfa may perform various reserved behaviors in order to improve his negotiating position.

In this regard, Tang Zifeng has also explained that as long as Xia Zhenfa's conditions are not too unreasonable, Linji Group can accept them. To be honest, when Tang Zifeng proposed cooperation with Xia Zhenfa, he really had no intention of taking advantage of the other party. It was more out of a desire to promote the advancement of domestic machine tool technology.

What no one expected was that as soon as the staff of the group planning department proposed cooperation intentions to Xia Zhenfa, they were ruthlessly rejected by the other party. The other party's attitude was so determined that it completely exceeded the limit of "play hard to get". It was definitely not a technical issue, but a real unwillingness to cooperate with Linji Group.

After hearing the news, Han Weichang contacted Xia Zhenfa for personal reasons. As a result, Xia Zhenfa told Han Weichang that it was true that he was looking for funding, but he would never accept the funding from Linji Group. The reason is also very simple. Linji Group is the leader in the machine tool industry. If a small private machine tool company like me cooperates with Linji Group, it will not be long before Linji Group eats up even the dregs.

Just now, Zhang Jianyang was here to report the matter to Tang Zifeng. Just in the middle of speaking, Tang Zifeng received another call from Yu Xiaohui. What he said was that some people were worried that Tang Zifeng would embezzle his project, which made Tang Zifeng not angry.

Damn it, am I such a bad person? Xia Zhenfa was worried that I would take advantage of him, and Su Hua was also worried that I would take advantage of him. Does he look so insecure?

Tang Zifeng actually didn't care about Su Hua's little thoughts.

Yu Xiaohui said that Su Hua wanted to make drones, which reminded Tang Zifeng of some legendary stories from later generations, but he was not sure whether Su Hua had the ability to start the drone industry. Tang Zifeng knows that drones are a very promising project. If done well, it will be a big business with an annual output value of tens of billions. But Tang Zifeng is now a man with a net worth of over one billion, so there is no reason to steal the business of a child.

When he heard that Ning Mo and Zhang Beibei also bought shares, Tang Zifeng had no intention of fighting. Yu Xiaohui and Ning Mo are both his friends. If this project can be completed and everyone makes money, it can be regarded as the meat rotting in the pot. What's wrong with it?

But these two things put together made Tang Zifeng a little bit dumbfounded.

Don’t you just have some money? Why do you make people wary of you like this? It seems that times have really changed.

Ten years ago, Chinese people were generally very poor and there was little idle capital in society. At that time, entrepreneurs were struggling to raise money everywhere, and it was extremely common for them to give up half of their equity for a mere investment of RMB 180,000.

For example, when Tang Zifeng bought a stake in Lijia Supermarket, he only invested 50,000 yuan, but received half of the equity. Now that the market value of Lijia Supermarket has exceeded 10 billion, Tang Zifeng's investment can be said to be a huge profit.

In recent years, there has been more hot money in society, and entrepreneurs have become more aware of the value of the technology or ideas they have. If they want to exchange some pennies for other people's shares, it becomes more and more difficult. Difficult.

Today's entrepreneurs are all well versed in financing, including angel rounds, B rounds, C rounds, and so on. People are not afraid that you will not invest, because besides you, there are thousands of rich people in the world, and people can always find investors who are stupid and have too much money.

"Xia Zhenfa's worries are somewhat justified." Tang Zifeng said, "Our group is so big, and it is also a state-owned enterprise. It can be said that it is rich and powerful. Xia Zhenfa's company only has a few million assets, and he has no choice but to cooperate with us. Fear."

"What is he afraid of? If we invest 10 million in him and account for 30% of his shares, he will get a big deal. In the future, when the technology he has developed is developed, he can get 70% of the money he earns, and What are you not satisfied with?" Zhang Jianyang muttered without anger.

The investment and shareholding he mentioned were all conditions set in advance by the group. When arranging personnel from the planning department to negotiate with Xia Zhenfa, Zhang Jianyang also explained that there was still room for concessions on this condition, but the specific extent of concessions could only be determined after consulting the group headquarters.

"We can see the value of this technology, and Xia Zhenfa can see it even more. Although his company is now impoverished, according to Lao Han, his investment in this technology has reached more than 20 million yuan over time. Not to mention the cost. If we spend 10 million to get 30% of the shares, he will definitely not be happy." Tang Zifeng analyzed.

Zhang Jianyang said: "Who can prove how much he invested in the early stage? The technology in his hands has not yet completely achieved a breakthrough, and it is entirely possible that he will not see any benefits in three to five years. Besides our Linji Group, who else would be willing to invest in such a project?" To invest more? We are not taking advantage of the situation, but with so much investment, it is always appropriate to hold 30% of the shares, right?

"Besides, if he feels that the conditions are not good, he can continue to talk. If we don't even talk about it now, what do you think of us? According to my temperament, let's stop talking to him and let him fend for himself. Okay. Maybe, when his company can't survive, he will cry and beg us."

Tang Zifeng nodded: "Yes, whether the conditions are suitable or not, he has to talk to us. How could he refuse directly without even listening to our conditions? Lao Zhang, over there with the planning department, you Have you seriously asked if our people are playing big tricks with Lao Xia and making them unhappy?"

Zhang Jianyang shook his head repeatedly: "This is impossible. I arranged for Shao Yifan to go to the planning department. Mr. Tang, you know Xiao Shao. He is very stable and will not do anything inappropriate. Listen to Xiao Shao. He said that Xia Zhenfa didn't even listen to what they had to say, he expressed no interest, then made an excuse and left, leaving Xiao Shao and the others there."

"This is interesting." Tang Zifeng said with a smile, "It seems that he is still a good-tempered person. Well, next week I will go to Jingnan for a meeting, so I will pay a visit to Mr. Xia to see him. What kind of person is he?"
