The cafe was still bustling with people, no different from its usual business.
Anderson had already left, leaving only Duanmu and Dong Qiangqiang sitting at the table in silence with their own concerns.
The two of them recalled what Anderson had said a few minutes ago.
"Black Castle can invest, as long as you can accept the performance bet. If the company's full-year profit in 2002 is not less than 500,000 euros, and the full-year profit in 2003 is not less than 1 million euros, then everyone will be fine. If If the company's full-year profit in 2002 was less than 500,000 euros, and the full-year profit in 2003 was less than 1 million euros, then we will get our money back with interest." Anderson spoke as slowly as possible, To make yourself sound less aggressive, "You can discuss it carefully and just reply to me before get off work this Friday."
The time Anderson spent communicating with Duanmu and Dong Qiangqiang was shorter than the previous Tom, but the impact on them was greater.
"Is this venture capital? Why does it still charge interest?" Looking at Anderson's back as he walked out of the door, Dong Qiangqiang suggested half-jokingly, "I would say you should honestly choose the old man. Although he has less money, There are less things to do. Save your worries!”
Duanmu looked at the coffee cup on the table thoughtfully, seemingly not hearing Dong Qiangqiang's words.
Dong Qiangqiang, who received no response, raised his eyes and looked at Duanmu. When he saw Duanmu's eyes full of longing and longing, he was surprised.
This look was so familiar that Dong Qiangqiang immediately remembered that he had seen similar light in Lei Lanting's eyes, in Lao Bai's eyes, and even in the eyes of brothers Jin Yuan and Shang's family.
It was a look that was unwilling to accept the status quo.
It was at that moment that he seemed to hear the unspoken decision in Duanmu's heart.
When the light gradually faded from Duanmu's eyes, he stood up slowly: "I have a meeting in the afternoon. If you are not in a hurry, come and walk with me."
Duanmu did not immediately discuss with Dong Qiangqiang whose money he wanted to accept. In Dong Qiangqiang's view, this was actually an invisible statement.
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly lost interest.
The wind on the street is very strong, and from time to time, dead leaves on the street or in the grass can be seen being swept into the air by invisible whirlwinds and then falling down. Although the wind is cold, it is not as biting on the face as in winter. Instead, it carries a faint fragrance of tree plants, giving people a sense of refreshing and uplifting, as if someone has sprinkled perfume on the wind.
The trees on both sides of the road have also grown new. When his eyes glanced over, Dong Qiangqiang could vaguely see a faint and inconspicuous green, which was the new buds on the branches.
Dong Qiangqiang's sensible silence made Duanmu feel a little unnaturally embarrassed. He tried hard to find a new topic to lighten the atmosphere.
"The fact that I can meet these two investors today may be due to your watch." Duanmu raised his hand, and the gold watch slowly slipped from his wrist into his sleeve.
The gold watch was originally pledged by Dong Qiangqiang to Duanmu in order to help Lei Lanting collect the deposit for the group. It was also the Rolex that belonged to Lao Chen before. After returning from Italy, Lei Lanting successfully got back the deposit from the travel agency and returned it to Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang wanted to redeem the two watches in advance, but Duanmu was very fond of the Rolex and insisted on buying it. Dong Qiangqiang had no nostalgia for that watch, and Duanmu had helped him a lot, so he discounted it and gave it half to him and half to him. Before selling, he specifically asked Du Lan for his opinion, but Du Lan said he would do whatever he wanted.
After hearing what he said, Dong Qiangqiang still didn't say anything, not even a "hmm", and the expression on his face was neither sad nor happy. He looked plain and indifferent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"You may not know that in addition to paying attention to the entrepreneur's work experience and academic background, many investors will also investigate whether his personal and family conditions are prosperous. In some financing situations, some investors may not pay attention to me. But just because there is such a dazzling real thing, many people may be willing to listen to my words and exchange business cards with me." Duanmu smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered his arm, and the Rolex fell on his wrist again, "I will Like Cinderella who stands out from the crowd when she puts on a glass slipper, she gets everyone's attention, but in reality she is still a cheap maid for the eldest and second sisters. In the end, this world still values money." He stroked the watch strap and said. .
Dong Qiangqiang followed him calmly, as if he was planning something. The two walked for a few more minutes and stood in front of a zebra crossing at an intersection. Duanmu pointed to a glass office building in the distance among a group of reinforced concrete buildings and said, "Well, our company is on the 10th floor of that building."
"There are very few tall buildings in Germany." Dong Qiangqiang finally spoke.
"Are you... in a hurry to go back this afternoon?" Duanmu turned to ask Dong Qiangqiang, who was observing the traffic lights intently.
"Oh, we've all met. If you can, go back early." Dong Qiangqiang absentmindedly threw out a few more words, "I still have classes tomorrow, and I have to look at the materials you gave me to find a problem company. There are a lot of things to do when setting up websites and hunting..."
The red light at the intersection seemed to be broken. It stayed on for nearly ten minutes. Some drivers stuck their heads out of their cars to look around, but the cars in both directions blocked by the red light were all parked and no one honked their horns. , and no one overtook or turned around.
Duanmu originally wanted to run the red light and cross the road, but when he ran out, he found Dong Qiangqiang standing motionless on the side of the road with no intention of crossing the road together, so he could only run back again.
A few minutes later, a motorcycle stopped suddenly at a gate box not far from the intersection. The driver jumped out of the car and opened the brake box. After a while of fussing, the red light finally turned into green.
Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to cross the intersection, Duanmu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Let's have dinner together tonight. The restaurant you introduced to me before would be good. You go first, casually, I will go directly to you after get off work."
Before Dong Qiangqiang could speak, Duanmu had already strode onto the zebra crossing, turned back and waved to him while shouting: "See you in the evening."
Looking at his back, Dong Qiangqiang had a vague feeling of bad premonition.
When Dong Qiangqiang came to the street outside Wanfu Restaurant, the lights were already on. With the dim lights on both sides of the road, Dong Qiangqiang vaguely noticed a team of people swinging from the door of the restaurant to the roadside like a long snake.
He didn't expect that the restaurant's business would be so booming, so he walked towards the door of the restaurant curiously. Just when he was still a few steps away from the door, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind him: "Hey, Dong, why are you here?"
Dong Qiangqiang turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a woman in casual clothes and oversized sunglasses looking at her with a smile.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's hesitation, the woman guessed that he didn't recognize her, so she took off her sunglasses, revealing a pretty but tired face.
