"You're saying that there are obstacles to this cooperation with Joe Mario?"
Bai Zhe shook his head: "That's not true."
He then changed to a comfortable position and leaned on the seat, folded his arms and said: "Basically, the early obstacles have been cleared, but as for Joe Mario's true intention, we still need to verify it."
Tang Yiran thought: [Does the other party have a deeper intention in this cooperation? 】
Bai Zhe continued: "If the condition for Joe Mario to cooperate with us is that he must hold more than 30% of the shares, then we must be careful. These guys can eat people without spitting out their bones. We must be on guard."
"No, we only signed a processing contract with him. If there are more excessive demands, we will definitely not agree." Tang Yiran said firmly.
Hearing what Tang Yiran said, Bai Zhe felt relieved.
Because once negotiations reach a certain stage, they will add obstacles to force both parties to increase their bargaining chips.
This is a common trick used by foreign businessmen like them. When we are riding a tiger and can't get off, we will give you a ladder. Will you help it or not?
If they are supported, they will get what they want, and the next move will be to fully control the technology, control the funds independently, and even have to reserve a seat for them on the board of directors.
Gradually, the policy orientation of the group companies will be more and more tilted towards foreign investment until they are completely controlled.
If there is no support and people are waiting for the price, you can find other companies to cooperate. If you are not willing to cooperate, then simply find another company without spending any extra effort.
Therefore, finding out the details of Joe Mario is the key to this negotiation.
"I'm going to play ball with Joe Mario in the afternoon. You can go too."
Bai Zhe raised his hand and held Tang Yiran in his arms.
Tang Yiran said worriedly: "Whether Du Jingsheng is reliable or not, don't let him sway us when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Tang Yiran's worries are not unreasonable. If Du Jingsheng takes this opportunity to make Qiao Mario disappointed with the Tang Group, there will be no negotiation tomorrow and he will choose to cooperate directly with Du Jingsheng.
As for his promise to Bai Zhe, it was Qiao Mario who changed his direction. Speaking of which, Du Jingsheng can't be blamed.
It is precisely because of this that it is necessary to meet with Yuan Wei and go to Zhongxing Group to make a stand.
Bai Zhe's attitude was that as long as he could restrain Du Jingsheng today, he would not be afraid of him getting in the way.
[Sooner or later, I will make those grandchildren in the United States cry and beg me to cooperate with them. 】Bai Zhe thought secretly, and arrived at Yuan Wei's home without knowing it.
Yuan Wei did not choose to go to the municipal party committee government office to meet Bai Zhe just to keep it confidential.
Now he also vaguely feels that Du Jingsheng's target is him. The meeting with Bai Zhe involves many things that are not convenient to say at work. And because his son Yuan Ming and Bai Zhe are friends, it is most appropriate to meet at home.
Yuan Wei did not live in the leader's housing provided by the city government, but chose to buy a community house outside. This made it easier for the couple to commute to and from get off work, especially Yuan Ming's mother Zhao Lili, who worked in a bank and happened to be in the city. The community is on the road to the city hall, so the couple can take the same car to get off work, which is very convenient.
Today is not the weekend, Zhao Lili is not at home, but after Yuan Ming sent her there, he processed a few documents in the office and then returned back to wait for Bai Zhe's arrival.
Although the community is not big, the building has thirty floors, and the residents inside are all business people, so it seems particularly quiet after entering the community.
The three of them, led by Yuan Ming, took the elevator up to the ninth floor and stopped in front of a dark gold security door.
Yuan Ming only pressed the doorbell and heard footsteps coming from inside. The door was opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged man in his forties.
Yuan Ming looks very similar to his father, with a fair and clean face, and a capable and heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
Judging from his temperament, it is not difficult to guess that he is a leader who has been in a high position for a long time.
"Uncle Yuan." Bai Zhe took the lead in greeting.
"Come in and sit down."
Yuan Wei was wearing a white shirt with short sleeves, and the watch on his wrist was the same as Bai Zhe's, a Tissot watch worth 5,000 yuan.
When the three of them walked in, Yuan Wei quickly went to pour water, put it in front of Bai Zhe and Tang Yiran, and sat down opposite.
"Dad, where is my mother?"
Yuan Ming looked around and saw his father at home alone, so he asked casually.
"Oh, your mother has gone to work, and I came here specifically to meet Bai Zhe."
After saying that, he clasped his hands together and said, "Well, we are not outsiders, so I won't beat around the bush. In fact, I asked Yuan Ming to invite you here because I want to understand some situations."
[This matter is very urgent for me, so I can’t waste any time. 】
"Uncle Yuan, please tell me."
"Well, let me put it this way, Du Jingsheng's actions have attracted the attention of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but there is insufficient evidence and no action has been taken. I also know that you were at the Golden Coast Club the night before yesterday, so I want to know some information from you."
When Bai Zhe heard this, he turned to look at Yuan Ming.
Yuan Wei smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, I might as well tell the truth. If it hadn't been for you that day, I'm afraid the draft wouldn't have been successful."
[Your life is not guaranteed. This is not what Yuan Ming told me, but I was at the scene. 】
"Hiss~" Bai Zhe was secretly surprised, he didn't expect things to become so complicated.
But when Yuan Wei said this, Tang Yiran sounded a little bit blaming.
Fortunately, Bai Zhe could hear his voice and knew that he didn't mean it this way.
No matter how good his relationship with Yuan Ming was, it was still the first time Yuan Wei met, so it was normal to throw out some smokescreens.
After Yuan Ming finished speaking, he did not rush to continue, but looked at Bai Zhe with his eyes.
Because he is still not sure whether Bai Zhe was bribed by Du Jingsheng and became his secret agent.
It was a matter of life and death, and he had to be careful.
"Uncle Yuan, I have met with Secretary Yuan. He is a very responsible leader. I believe you will not be any worse, Uncle Yuan. So I come to visit you with full sincerity. For Du Jingsheng I have evidence and will definitely not be tied to him, please rest assured."
After listening to Bai Zhe's euphemistic words, Yuan Wei's frown finally relaxed a lot. At least he could say these words. Bai Zhe is by no means the kind of person who goes against the will and is worthy of trust.
"Now that you say that, I feel relieved. Can you show me the evidence you have now?"
Yuan Wei didn't beat around the bush and was very direct in his words and actions. Bai Zhe had already expected this, so he always kept the evidence with him.
"This is a recording I copied. Uncle Yuan, you can take a look."
Bai Zhe took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and placed it in front of Yuan Wei.
Yuan Wei quickly picked it up, turned around, walked to the TV, and inserted the USB flash drive.
After all, in a first-tier city like Sanyo, the TVs installed at home all have USB reading functions. Bai Zhe secretly admired it in his heart.
After plugging it in, Yuan Wei picked up the remote control and chose to play the file, and the recording of the conversation with Du Jingsheng in the club that day began to sound.
Yuan Wei always looked solemn, put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head and listened carefully.
The three of them sat without speaking, watching Yuan Wei's every move.
At the end, Yuan Wei took a deep breath, held his shoulders and thought for a while, pulled out the USB flash drive, turned around and sat down in front of Bai Zhe.
"The content of this conversation is indeed very important, but it can only be used as evidence, and there is no evidence to bring down Du Jingsheng."
"Mind if I put it away?"
Bai Zhe nodded quickly: "Okay, this is what I specially prepared for you."
"Um."
Yuan Wei solemnly put the USB flash drive into his pocket, then stretched out his hand to Bai Zhe and said, "Bai Zhe, you are welcome to join."
Only then did Bai Zhe completely gain Yuan Wei's trust. Facing the hand extended, Bai Zhe shook it.
"Now, I have a plan. Come and listen to it for reference."
After shaking hands, Yuan Wei had completely opened his heart and finally said the most important thing in his heart.
"Uncle Yuan, please tell me."
Yuan Wei looked at Bai Zhe and said word by word: "I hope you can go to Du Jingsheng's office and take a photo of a very important document."
[Du Jingsheng has always kept this information personally, and is inaccessible to anyone who is not a core figure. 】
"Uncle Yuan, I believe the information you mentioned is very important, but I'm afraid Du Jingsheng will also keep it tightly guarded. Even if I can go to his office, it's not as easy as I imagined to see this information."
When Bai Zhe spoke, his attitude was sincere and he seemed to be very considerate.
But how could others know that Bai Zhe was deliberately hiding his clumsiness and didn't want others to know the secret that he could eavesdrop on his heart.
Yuan Wei nodded: "Yes, this is also the biggest difficulty. Du Jingsheng will definitely hide the information in the password cabinet. It is indeed not easy to get the password. It is precisely because of this that you, Bai Zhe, are the unique candidate."
Hearing this, Bai Zhe's heart skipped a beat. [It’s over, are you going to be exposed? 】
"Uncle Yuan, why did you think of sending me?"
Bai Zhe asked with a smile.
This time, Yuan Ming interrupted: "Bai Zhe, I have always regarded you as a brother, so I still take the liberty to ask you to help my dad. Because I told my dad that you have what it takes to compete with Du Jingsheng Strength."
"Yes, I believe what Yuan Ming says." Yuan Wei said bluntly, and both father and son looked at Bai Zhe.
Tang Yiran touched Bai Zhe lightly and signaled to take over the job.
After all, this does not conflict with the interests of the Tang Group. As long as it can trip up Du Jingsheng, it will also eliminate a major worry.
At this point, Bai Zhe had nothing to say. We can no longer hide either emotion or reason.
"In that case..." Bai Zhe stood up and smiled at Yuan Wei: "Uncle Yuan, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Seeing Bai Zhe's outstretched hand, Yuan Wei was stunned for a moment.
Because the risk of this matter is very high, it may even threaten Bai Zhe's life. But Bai Zhe agreed so readily, which was indeed a bit unexpected.
Yuan Wei stood up slowly and immediately felt in awe of Bai Zhe: "Bai Zhe, you have to think carefully. This matter is extraordinary and the risks will increase infinitely."
