Xia Ruofei frowned slightly and looked at the confident Tian Xiaojun. He didn't say anything and just continued to make tea.
The anger on Tian Xiaojun's face disappeared in a flash. He laughed and said, "You must be Boss Xia! We are Liu Zhe's friends. We came uninvited today. Sorry for disturbing you! "
Xia Ruofei poured the tea into the cup and then took a sip. He said lightly, "Since you know you're disturbing me, why are you still here?"
Tian Xiaojun's face suddenly darkened.
Xia Zhe couldn't help but snort and say, "Young Master Tian gave you face and said a few words of courtesy. Who do you think you are?"
Although Zhong Zixin didn't say anything, he also sneered.
Tian Xiaojun said with a fake smile, "Boss Xia, please don't be offended. This brother of mine is straightforward and can't keep things to himself."
Xia Ruofei put down the teacup gently and glanced at Tian Xiaojun and the other two. He asked, "What do you want from me? Just say it! My time is limited. "
Tian Xiaojun laughed and said, "Boss Xia, this isn't how you treat your guests! Since we're here, we can at least sit down and ask for a cup of tea, right? "
Xia Ruofei immediately said, "Forget about drinking tea. I'm a straightforward person. I only drink tea when I'm chatting with friends. If you have something to say, just get to the point!"
Tian Xiaojun's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. However, when he thought of the hot sales of the Jade Skin Ointment on the Internet, he forcibly suppressed his emotions and waved his hand to stop Xia Zhe, who was about to flip out.
Tian Xiaojun smiled and said, "I can see that Boss Xia is a straightforward person. Then we won't beat around the bush. Let's introduce ourselves first! I'm Tian Xiaojun, working for … "
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I know where the three of you came from. Let's get to the point!"
Tian Xiaojun stared at Xia Ruofei with sparkling eyes and said, "Boss Xia, are you sure you know who we are?"
The corner of Xia Ruofei's mouth twitched as he said, "If you're talking about the leadership positions of the elders, then I'll confirm it."
Tian Xiaojun's eyelids twitched slightly. It seemed that Xia Ruofei had obtained detailed information from Liu Zhe.
However, since Xia Ruofei knew who the three of them were, he was still able to remain calm. Furthermore, his attitude was neither warm nor cold. This made Tian Xiaojun feel uneasy.
But on second thought, the Taoyuan Company was just a small company in the suburbs of Sanshan City. It was only because they were lucky that they developed such a popular product like the Yuji Ointment that their value doubled. Even if Xia Ruofei had some background, it was definitely not in Beijing.
Didn't Liu Zhe say that Xia Ruofei had a good relationship with Song Qiming's daughter, Song Wei? Perhaps this was what Xia Ruofei was relying on? Tian Xiaojun quickly analyzed in his heart.
If this was the case, then this local boss was too naive! Tian Xiaojun secretly sneered.
If Song Wei had opened the company himself, then Tian Xiaojun would have to weigh the pros and cons before taking a bite. After all, Song Qiming was a deputy minister with real power. But what about Xia Ruofei? Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted in Sanshan City just because he had a relationship with Song Wei?
With the connections of this group of people, any bit of it would be enough to make the Taoyuan Company suffer!
Thinking of this, Tian Xiaojun's heart became calm again.
Of course, this was also because money moved people's hearts. A monthly revenue of two to three hundred million yuan, and it was in the extremely profitable cosmetics industry. With such a huge profit in front of him, Tian Xiaojun's judgment became less rational.
He once again put on a confident smile on his face and said, "Since Boss Xia already knows, then I won't waste any more time. Today, I'm mainly here to be the middleman. My brother wants to talk business with Boss Xia. Speaking of which, he's Boss Xia's family! "
Seeing that Tian Xiaojun was talking about him, Xia Zhe also smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. However, his smile was not friendly. Coupled with the faint threat, it looked a bit sinister.
Xia Ruofei calmly leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and asked with interest, "Talk business with me? What business do we have to talk about? "
Tian Xiaojun smiled slightly and gestured to Xia Zhe.
Xia Zhe immediately took a step forward, stared into Xia Ruofei's eyes, and said casually, "Boss Xia, I run an investment company. I feel that your Taoyuan Company's development prospects are good, so I'm here to give you money today!"
Xia Ruofei almost laughed out loud. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he asked, "Give money? How are you going to do it? "
"Our Lakshmi Capital is going to invest in the Taoyuan Company," Xia Zhe said confidently. "I think a start-up company like yours should be in need of development funds the most. Isn't this money delivered to your door?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Thank you, Boss Xia, for your kindness, but our Taoyuan Company's cash flow is very sufficient, and we have no plans to raise funds for the time being!"
Xia Zhe's face suddenly darkened, and he said gloomily, "Boss Xia means … you don't want to give me face?"
Xia Ruofei's eyes widened, and he asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean by that? Isn't business all about mutual consent? We don't need financing for the time being, and I've already expressed my gratitude for your 'kindness'. How can you say that I don't want to give you face? "
Xia Zhe snorted and was about to explode on the spot.
At this time, Tian Xiaojun gently patted Xia Ruofei's shoulder, and with a fake smile on his face, he looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Boss Xia, don't reject people thousands of miles away! Business is about making money peacefully. If there's money, everyone can earn it! Besides … we're not here to gain something without risking anything. We have to take out real money to invest! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and asked back, "Of course, we have to make money peacefully when doing business, so I've always been against coercion!"
Seeing that Tian Xiaojun still had the cheek to say that they weren't here to gain something without risking anything, Xia Ruofei was almost speechless about how thick-skinned they were.
Tian Xiaojun's patience was almost worn out, and his face gradually became cold. He turned to Liu Zhe and said, "Liu Zhe, it seems that your friend isn't very sensible!"
Liu Zhe was complaining in his heart. After entering the door, he wished that he was invisible, and the lower his presence, the better. After all, he didn't want to offend either side. Now, he was like a pig looking in the mirror — he was a human being!
He wanted to play it safe, but Tian Xiaojun didn't give him the chance and directly called him out.
Liu Zhe could only brace himself and stand up, saying, "Director Tian, Brother Xia didn't say that he doesn't want to cooperate. You can have a good talk! It's normal to have differences, and … even if … "
Liu Zhe's voice became softer and softer as he spoke. He didn't dare to say things like "we can't do business, but we can still be friends." Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that Tian Xiaojun wouldn't fall out with him on the spot.
Tian Xiaojun snorted and asked, "Boss Xia, we came all the way from Beijing. Are you really not going to give us any leeway? The most important thing in business is to be down-to-earth. Don't overestimate yourself, and don't underestimate others … "
The threat in his words was very obvious. Xia Ruofei didn't take it seriously and simply said, "Then tell me! How do you want to invest? "
Anyway, he had nothing to do. He wanted to hear what these hotheads could come up with. He just wanted to tease them.
Tian Xiaojun was secretly happy when he heard this. He thought that his threat was effective. After all, it was the nature of business people to seek benefits and avoid losses. He was generally more afraid of young masters with strong backgrounds like them.
As for Xia Ruofei's casual tone, Tian Xiaojun just thought that this young man wanted to save face and didn't want to admit defeat.
Therefore, he secretly winked at Xia Zhe.
Xia Zhe immediately understood and said, "Boss Xia, before we came, we did some evaluation of the Taoyuan Company's situation. You have a farm, a pharmaceutical factory, and the hardware facilities are passable. We are prepared to invest one million Huaxia dollars and take 51% of the shares."
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
He could guess that these rich people's appetites were not small, but he still couldn't imagine that they would eat in such an ugly manner.
After the Yuji Ointment became popular, the investment community also evaluated the Taoyuan Company. The results were high and low, but basically, they were all aiming for more than one billion. After all, the Yuji Ointment had a super strong ability to make money.
These wild hotheads really thought that their boss was a piece of cake. They actually only gave him a valuation of about two million and wanted to take 51% of the shares in one go.
That was, they wanted to have absolute control of the company.
As for what happened after that, it was as clear as day.
They wanted to kick Xia Ruofei, the founder of the company, out of the game.
They weren't the first to do this, and they definitely wouldn't be the last.
As long as they had control of the company, it would be easy to kick Xia Ruofei out of the game. The most direct way was to use the votes of the company's board of directors to pass a series of large development plans, and then propose to increase the capital.
With their connections, it was easy to borrow a large amount of money in a short period of time.
And if Xia Ruofei was really a country boss without any background, he definitely wouldn't be able to come up with such a huge capital increase plan.
Then, there was only one result, and that was that Xia Ruofei's shares would continue to be diluted.
In the end, the Taoyuan Company, the hen that laid golden eggs, would be eaten alive by these people.
If Tian Xiaojun and the others were just here to freeload, then Xia Ruofei was more or less teasing them. But when Xia Ruofei said this ridiculous so-called financing plan, Xia Ruofei's face suddenly became cold.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Xia Zhe said casually, "How can I be kidding? Investment is a very serious matter. We hired a professional company to evaluate it. The Taoyuan Company may invest more than two million, but the machinery and equipment and your vegetable greenhouse have been depreciating. We'll pay one million for 51% of the shares, which is a very fair price. "
Xia Ruofei curled his lips and asked, "Do you know how much Shanshan Capital valued us? 1.3 billion! The two million you said is not even a fraction of what they gave! I'm not interested in financing even with this! "
Xia Zhe said disdainfully, "Those capital institutions are all hype. This kind of valuation is almost as high as outer space. Do you believe it?"
Xia Ruofei almost laughed out of anger. So they didn't believe in the valuation given by a professional investment bank and instead believed in the empty words of a few brats who wanted to swallow up a company that was thriving with each passing day?
Ling Qingxue had been sitting silently beside Xia Ruofei. She didn't want to talk at first, but after hearing the shameless words of Xia Zhe and the others, she couldn't help it.
She stood up and said, "The Taoyuan Company has just bought the Hengli Building in the center of Sanshan City. The assets of this building alone are hundreds of millions. You want to pay one million for 51% of the shares? That's a bit whimsical!"
Tian Xiaojun had already noticed Ling Qingxue. After all, it was hard for a man to ignore such a beautiful woman with a pair of seductive long legs.
Maybe he wanted to show off in front of the beautiful woman, but at the same time, he didn't want to continue discussing the issue of assets. They were obviously trying to get something for nothing. Their words couldn't stand up to scrutiny at all.
So Tian Xiaojun cleared his throat and said, "Boss Xia, this beautiful woman, I think your understanding of assets might be a bit wrong."
"Oh? Then Deputy Director Tian, please enlighten us? "Xia Ruofei said sarcastically.
Tian Xiaojun smiled and said, "You're still young, so it's understandable that you don't know much about the business world. I'm willing to share my opinion with you."
After that, Tian Xiaojun's greedy eyes fell on Ling Qingxue's face and he continued, "Xia Zhe wants to pay one million in cash for 51% of the shares. It seems a bit unreasonable, but don't ignore the intangible assets. I think this is the most important bargaining chip for us to invest! If you cooperate with us, it means that the Taoyuan Company will have unimaginable resources. Its expansion will be ten times, a hundred times more than it is now. In the process of expansion, we will be responsible for solving all the problems, big and small. Isn't this worth 51% of the shares? "
Tian Xiaojun paused, then glanced at Xia Ruofei and said, "Boss Xia, if you cooperate with us, it means that the Taoyuan Company will be on a smooth path from now on. If you do the opposite, I think a smart person like Boss Xia should know what the consequences will be."
Xia Ruofei finally couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Tian Xiaojun and asked, "Deputy Director Tian, are you threatening me?"
Tian Xiaojun pointed at Xia Zhe and Zhong Zixin confidently and said, "Xiao Zhe's father is the leader of the Price Control Bureau. Whether or not your company's Yuji cream is suspected of malicious speculation, I think Uncle Xia has a lot of say. Zixin's father is the leader of an important department in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. As long as he says a word, none of your most important e-commerce channels will dare to sell your products. In addition, we have many friends in other ministries. It can be said that any unit can decide the life and death of the Taoyuan Company with a word! "
