Jingle Bell……
Yang Chen picked up the phone and raised his eyebrows when he saw the word 'Zhou Xun' popping up on the caller ID.
"Mr. Zhou, what's the matter?"
"Yes, I'm here to cooperate with Mr. Yang." Zhou Xun said straight to the point. His voice was very calm. He was clearly asking for investment, but he said it was cooperation.
"Cooperation?" Yang Chen was a little surprised.
"That's right. When we last met, didn't Mr. Yang say that he had a sum of funds and was looking for an investment project? It just so happens that I have a very good project here, but it still lacks some funds. I wonder if Mr. Yang is interested?" Zhou Xun spoke calmly, without any hint of urgency in his tone.
He knows very well that the more critical the moment, the less anxious he can be.
"Haha, of course I'm interested in the project that Mr. Zhou is optimistic about." Yang Chen's brain started spinning rapidly and he said, "Let's meet to talk?"
"Okay, then let's meet at XX Cafe on Nanshan Road." Zhou Xun said neatly.
"ok!"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen thought for a moment and called Jiang Xiaoguo again.
"Xiaoguo, what happened to your company recently?"
"A big thing really happened. A project that Mr. Zhou invested in recently had a major mistake... bah bah bah bah... the project "War of Kings" is completely obscene!" Jiang Xiaoguo said "War of Kings" " and "The King's Landing" briefly talked about the matter, and then said: "Lao Mr. Su came to the company just now to challenge Mr. Zhou. I estimate that Mr. Zhou will have a hard time during this period."
Haha, not only is it difficult, Zhou Xun will soon be kicked out of the company by Mr. Su and Wang Zhongye, and Juan Fugai will leave.
"I know, thanks, I'll treat you to dinner next time!"
A smile appeared on Yang Chen's face. Through Jiang Xiaoguo's narration, he already understood what happened to Zhou Xun.
"You are welcome."
Just after hanging up the phone from Yang Chen, Jiang Xiaoguo saw Zhou Xun coming out of the office and waved to her: "Jiang Xiaoguo, get ready and come out with me later."
"Okay." Jiang Xiaoguo said immediately.
Zhou Xun hasn't hired an assistant yet, so he uses Jiang Xiaoguo as his assistant for the time being. Coupled with the relationship between Jiang Xiaoguo and Yang Chen's classmates, if there are problems in the negotiations, they can be eased.
Jiang Xiaoguo was also happy.
About an hour later, Yang Chen arrived at xx Cafe.
This is a relatively high-end specialty coffee shop. The decoration inside is very elegant and the environment is quiet. As soon as you enter, you can hear a burst of beautiful violin music. In the corner, there is a female painter sketching, and an artistic atmosphere hits your face. Come.
When Jiang Xiaoguo saw Yang Chen come in, he immediately stood up and waved to him.
Seeing them, Yang Chen suddenly felt happy and walked straight towards them.
There is a huge difference in height between Jiang Xiaoguo and Zhou Xun. He is not as tall as Zhou Xun when he is standing.
"Mr. Yang, please sit down!"
Zhou Xun stood up and shook hands with Yang Chen, and then the three of them sat down in the booth.
"Okay, no need to say polite words, let's get down to business. President Zhou said before that he had a very good project, I don't know what it is?" Yang Chen looked at Zhou Xun.
"The battle of kings..." Zhou Xun said.
Bang!
Hearing Zhou Xun's words, Jiang Xiaoguo's hand couldn't help but trembled, and he almost threw the coffee away.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Chen and Zhou Xun looked at Jiang Xiaoguo at the same time.
"Nothing, nothing..."
Jiang Xiaoguo quickly put down her coffee and lowered her head, not daring to look at them at all.
An hour ago, she told Yang Chen that the project "War of Kings" was completely useless. She never expected that this project would be recommended to him by Zhou Xun!
This is simply...
Jiang Xiaoguo felt that her toes were twitching, it was so embarrassing!
"It's nothing to be excited about, I'm so restless..."
Yang Chen withdrew his gaze and said to Zhou Xun, "Mr. Zhou, keep talking!"
"Okay, "War of Kings" is a project that Pulling Capital has been paying close attention to recently. It is a real-time battle mobile game... Bah bah bah bah... At present, this project still lacks some funds. I am the first The first person I thought of was Mr. Yang." Zhou Xun introduced the "War of Kings" project to Yang Chen non-stop, describing it in a colorful way, as if "War of Kings" was a gold mine waiting to be mined.
Listening to Zhou Xun's words, Jiang Xiaoguo dug out a set of three bedrooms and one living room on the ground with her toes.
Yang Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he listened to Zhou Xun's introduction seriously. After he finished speaking, he said: "I heard what Mr. Zhou said, "War of Kings" is really a good project. I don't know how much this project still needs. funds?"
"One hundred million..." Zhou Xun started with a small goal in mind.
Naturally, bargaining is necessary when doing business.
As the saying goes, those who seek the top will get the bottom, and those who seek the bottom will get the bottom. Of course, when you ask, you must say a relatively high number, so as to facilitate counter-offering.
"Cough, cough..."
Upon hearing this number, Jiang Xiaoguo spit out the coffee in her mouth. Fortunately, she kept her head down and didn't squirt on the two of them.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Chen and Zhou Xun looked at her again.
"No, it's okay... I just choked a bit... I'm going to the bathroom..."
Jiang Xiaoguo waved his hand and hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom.
She really didn't dare to continue listening, for fear that she would explode on the spot.
"One hundred million...not much!"
Yang Chen nodded and said thoughtfully: "Making games costs more money. Funds are not a problem. I can invest this money..."
Hearing this, Zhou Xun's face suddenly became happy.
"But..." At this time, Yang Chen suddenly changed the topic, "I don't want to cooperate with Pulling Capital."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xun's brows suddenly frowned.
"What I mean is very simple. The two of us will set up an investment company together to bypass Pulling Capital and directly invest in the "War of Kings" project." Yang Chen said slowly.
"Is there any difference between working with me and working with Pu Ling?" Zhou Xun asked doubtfully. "If Mr. Yang wants to invest, it's the same as cooperating with Pu Ling. I can even introduce Mr. Yang to become Pu Ling's partner."
"No need, I don't want to make wedding clothes for others."
Yang Chen chuckled, but the words he spoke hit Zhou Xun like a bullet.
"Mr. Zhou, don't pretend to be confused. I think you should know better than me what your situation is in the company. Pu Ling Capital is the Su family's Pu Ling Capital, not your Zhou Xun's Pu Ling Capital." Yang Chen said calmly. "With Mr. Zhou's credit, it's just a failed project, and it's not worth fighting at all. To put it bluntly, Mr. Su just wants to pick peaches. Even if there is no "War of the Kings", there will be other projects, and he will definitely look for opportunities. Attack and drive you out of Puling!"
"The current situation of Pulling Capital has deteriorated. Does Mr. Zhou still want to stay?"
Zhou Xun's face darkened.
His emotional intelligence is not high, but his brain is not stupid.
He knows better than anyone what the current situation of Pulling Capital is.
According to the current situation, there are only two endings if he continues, either he will completely overwhelm Mr. Su, or he will leave Pu Ling in despair.
However, humans are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless?
His good friend Su Hang has supported him for so many years without any regrets. The cooperation between the two has always been very pleasant. Now that he wants to leave Su Hang and start another business, he really can't get over it.
If he could stay at Pulling Capital, he would never resign.
Now there is an excellent opportunity. As long as the "War of Kings" project is completed, Pulling Capital will be able to get enough profits, and it will no longer have to rely on old Mr. Su and completely get rid of the shackles of the Su family.
But the problem before him now is that if he wants to get investment, he has to leave Pulling Capital.
This is a dead end.
"Mr. Yang, can you let me think about it again?" Zhou Xun was very confused and planned to delay it to see if he could get investment from other places.
Yang Chen also guessed Zhou Xun's thoughts, and he thought: "As an investor, the most important thing is vision and judgment. Mr. Zhou, why don't we compare our vision and judgment. If I win, Mr. Zhou will join me company; if I lose, I will invest 100 million in the "War of Kings" project."
"A test of vision and judgment?"
Zhou Xun frowned slightly. Investment was a matter of competition. If a project was used for a competition, "War of Kings" would have been in disgrace by the time the results came out.
"Mr. Zhou is worried about time?" Yang Chen saw Zhou Xun's concerns and smiled: "Don't worry, our competition is very simple."
His eyes slowly swept across the cafe, pointed to the female painter who was painting in the corner, and said: "Let's guess the price of that painting. Whoever guesses closer will win!"
"painting?"
Zhou Xun was startled.
Artwork has always been difficult to price, let alone a painting by an unknown artist, which makes it even harder to guess.
However, the more difficult it is, the more it arouses people's desire for challenge.
"Okay, I'll take this bet!"
Zhou Xun thought for a moment and decided to take the bet. If he really lost, it would be fate for him to start over.
"Betting?" Jiang Xiaoguo came back at this time. Hearing Zhou Xun's words, he asked curiously: "Do you want to bet?"
"You came back just in time. Call that lady over and tell her that we want to buy her paintings... Go quickly." Before Jiang Xiaoguo's butt touched the chair, Yang Chen said to her.
"oh."
Jiang Xiaoguo said "Oh" and walked towards the female painter with a confused look on her face.
As a small employee without human rights, what else can I do?
Of course, she will do whatever the leader says.
Soon, Jiang Xiaoguo and the female painter came over, the latter still holding a newly completed oil painting in her hand.
Yang Chen looked at the female painter.
This female painter looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old. She was wearing a light brown sweatshirt and a pair of black pencil pants, with a short ponytail. She was much prettier than he had imagined, and she had a strong artistic atmosphere about her.
"You want to buy my paintings?" the female painter asked Yang Chen and Zhou Xun.
"That's right. Please sit down, Miss." Yang Chen nodded and motioned for the female painter to sit down. After she took her seat, he said, "I wonder what I call Miss?"
"Tang Yun!" said the female painter.
"Tang Yun, what a good name. When you hear this name, you can tell that you are engaged in art. I think your painting skills are good. You should have graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. How come you are painting here?" Yang Chen asked again.
"Why are you asking this?"
Tang Yun glanced at him suspiciously. In the past, people often used buying paintings as an excuse to strike up a conversation with her, so when she heard Yang Chen's words, she subconsciously became defensive.
"Ms. Tang, don't think too much. We just want to know more information to facilitate the evaluation of the painting." Yang Chen heard the hidden meaning of her words and explained immediately.
"Oh... I graduated from Guangmei University of Fine Arts. I recently wanted to paint some works with urban themes, so I drew materials here. Do you have any other questions?" Tang Yun said "Oh" and said lukewarmly.
"No more...the problem is gone, but there is one more thing I want to trouble you with!"
Yang Chen signaled her not to worry, and said while thinking: "Both of us want this painting, but we don't want to bid. So we thought of a way to guess the price and buy it. Whoever guesses the price is closer to the real price of the painting." Whoever buys it will buy it at this price. So, we would like to trouble you to write down the price of this oil painting first."
"Of course, everyone is not a fool. If the price written by Miss Tang is too high and exceeds the normal market price, then there is nothing we can do!"
"Aren't you playing some truth or dare game to make fun of me?" After hearing what he said, Tang Yun said with suspicion.
"Do you think we are such boring people?" Yang Chen looked very angry and thought to himself, this girl's intuition was quite accurate and she almost guessed the truth.
I see you look alike!
Tang Yun rolled her eyes inwardly and thought to herself, you said you wanted to buy a painting, but you didn't look at the painting carefully from beginning to end, and you kept looking at me randomly... What's wrong with buying a painting?
"We really want to buy paintings." Yang Chen said seriously.
"……All right."
Tang Yun thought again, it wouldn't take much trouble anyway, just write.
So I picked up the paper and wrote a number on it.
At the same time, I thought to myself: 'The Royal Oak watch on this guy's hand is definitely a rich man, and the bid should not be too low. According to the going price, this painting should fetch 7,000 to 10,000, but we can’t let them guess it so easily, so just write 9983. '
When she started writing, Yang Chen had already activated his mind-reading skills and read her inner thoughts.
"Has it been written?"
"alright!"
"Mr. Zhou, are you optimistic?" Yang Chen looked at Zhou Xun again.
"Yeah." Zhou Xun nodded and looked away from the oil painting.
When Yang Chen was talking to Tang Yun, he kept his attention on the oil painting and observed the painting carefully.
Although he is not very proficient in oil painting, he still has certain appreciation ability.
"Then let's get started." Yang Chen smiled.
As he spoke, he picked up the pen and wrote down a series of numbers on the paper.
Zhou Xun pondered for a moment and wrote a number on the paper.
"Let's reveal the answer."
"good."
The three of them opened the paper at the same time.
Jiang Xiaoguo immediately stood up and looked at the numbers written by the three of them with wide eyes.
Tang Yun wrote 9983!
Zhou Xun wrote 6750!
Yang Chen wrote three numbers, 7000~10000, 9983! "
When Tang Yun saw the number written by Yang Chen, her eyes widened. She picked up the paper on the table, turned it over and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Are you a magician? How do you know the number I wrote?"
"I just made a wild guess. As for why I guessed this number... don't worry, let's hear what Mr. Zhou has to say first." Yang Chen gave up.
"My estimate of this oil painting is 5,000~7,000, and I chose a relatively large number, 6,750." Zhou Xun did not give in, and looked at Yang Chen after speaking.
"Mr. Zhou's valuation of this painting is very reasonable, but you missed one point. The author of this painting is a beautiful woman, and the art market has always given preferential treatment to beautiful women. Therefore, my valuation of this painting is 7,000 ~10,000." Yang Chen smiled. "In addition, Miss Tang glanced at my watch while writing. You must think that I am a rich person, so I wrote a number that is very close to the upper limit..."
"Yes." Tang Yun looked at Yang Chen in shock. After hearing his words, she nodded subconsciously.
"I guess you don't know how to write an integer, and you will probably subtract dozens of dollars from the upper limit of 10,000. As for why I wrote 9983... maybe it's because of a tacit understanding!" Yang Chen winked at her.
Tang Yun was dumbfounded and murmured: "Are you really not a magician?"
"I'm still a prophet." Yang Chen rolled his eyes.
I don't know magic, I only know my ability!
"Ms. Tang, give me your WeChat ID," he said again.
"good."
Tang Yun nodded slightly, took out her phone, and opened the WeChat QR code.
She usually ignores those who strike up a conversation, but of course someone as handsome and interesting as Yang Chen is an exception.
Yang Chen scanned it with his mobile phone.
"Ding!"
WeChat friends were added successfully.
At the same time, the system's sound also rang.
【Ding! 】
[The host obtains Tang Yun's contact information, completes the hidden task 'getting to know', and is rewarded with a primary consumption rebate card]
Yang Chen couldn't help but be startled, his brain was spinning rapidly, and his face showed a look of contemplation.
"Tang Yun...it turns out to be her! If you look at it this way, her paintings have a certain collection value." With his name and occupation, he quickly thought of Tang Yun's identity.
In the original drama, Tang Yun was just a minor supporting character with a name. She didn't have the same memory as Gan Hong. It was normal not to recognize her before.
Then, Yang Chen transferred 9,983 yuan to Tang Yun and said, "Now, this painting belongs to me."
"Oh yes!"
Tang Yun then remembered that she was here to sell paintings, and quickly handed the oil painting to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen handed the painting to Jiang Xiaoguo again: "Help me find someone to frame it. When the investment company is established, I will hang this painting in the office."
Tang Yun's paintings have good potential for appreciation. In three years, they will increase not only tenfold, but at least fivefold!
"Let me do it, I know a framer." Tang Yun took the initiative to take the oil painting.
"Then I'll trouble you." Yang Chen smiled at her and nodded.
"You're welcome." Tang Yun said.
Zhou Xun's face is inherently comedic, and when he heard Yang Chen's words, he immediately burst into laughter.
"President Zhou will not regret it," Yang Chen said.
"Of course not!" Zhou Xun said solemnly.
"Then...please cooperate!" Yang Chen stood up and extended a hand to Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun quickly adjusted his mood and shook hands with Yang Chen, but did not let go immediately. He solemnly said: "Cooperation is okay, but I hope to have the final say on the company's investment projects."
"No problem. After we work together for a while, Mr. Zhou will understand that I am definitely the best partner to get along with!" Yang Chen said.
"I hope so." Zhou Xun shook hands vigorously, "Happy cooperation!"
“Happy to work with!”
