Now that the media was hyping up this matter, the Chu Group's falling share price rose as well.
But how to put it …
A large corporation like the Jiahe Corporation could easily spend tens or hundreds of billions. The Chu Group might be able to do business in Haicheng, but if they really wanted to do business with the Jiahe Corporation, they wouldn't be able to swallow the cake no matter how big it was!
Su Huan's father had some connections, so he asked Fu Huai 'an with some hesitation …
"I heard that the Jiahe Corporation's President Tang Xi and the Kaide Corporation's Vice President Tang Zheng … the two of them met several days in a row to discuss the new coastal city renovation project in Wei City. I also heard that the Kaide Corporation and the Jiahe Corporation were very willing to cooperate, but for some reason, they signed the contract with the Chu Group."
Fu Huai 'an didn't say anything. He picked up the teapot and filled his teacup.
The Chu Group's Chu Fangzheng was using the Jiahe Corporation's name as a lobbyist. Adhering to the spirit of everyone sharing the benefits, they couldn't let the Kaide Corporation take the lead. The Chu Group wanted to gather more small and medium-sized enterprises to join forces and fight against the Kaide Corporation.
However, Chu Fangzheng said … the Chu Group had already signed a contract with the Jiahe Corporation, but in fact, they hadn't …
Chu Fangzheng had gone to look for Tang Xi to cooperate. After many interactions, Chu Fangzheng felt that things were going to work out. After all, this was equivalent to the Chu Group opening up its wallet for the Jiahe Corporation to grab as much money as they wanted!
But who knew that Tang Xi would calmly reply that he wasn't interested in such a small business? Chu Fangzheng panicked and pestered Tang Xi for a long time, hoping the Jiahe Corporation would invest in the company. He even said that the Chu Group was willing to give the Jiahe Corporation a share, as long as the Jiahe Corporation invested in the company's name.
But Tang Xi smiled and said that he wasn't interested in the little bit of money they earned by giving the Chu Group a name. It was just that every time the Chu Group launched a project, there would more or less be some problems and wrangling with the consumers!
If the Jiahe Corporation invested in the Chu Group this time, the Jiahe Corporation's reputation would be tarnished if something happened to the Chu Group. It wasn't worth it.
Coincidentally, Tang Zheng arrived and said that he wanted to discuss a project with Tang Xi. After the two of them left, Chu Fangzheng asked someone to find out what project the Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation were going to cooperate on.
Later on, Chu Fangzheng found out that the Jiahe Corporation was going to start a new coastal city in Wei City and had already gotten the government's approval to collaborate with the Kaide Corporation.
When Chu Fangzheng heard that, he immediately had an idea …
Although the Chu Group was indeed not as powerful as the Kaide Corporation, he could still gather some small and medium-sized enterprises!
Hence, Chu Fangzheng went to talk to Tang Xi to sound him out. Tang Xi also said that he actually didn't want to work with the Kaide Corporation. This was because the Kaide Corporation's momentum had been too strong these few years, and they were already on par with the Jiahe Corporation. Tang Xi personally didn't wish for a corporation that could be on par with the Jiahe Corporation, or even surpass the Jiahe Corporation!
Moreover, if two large corporations were to cooperate, there might be a situation where neither side was willing to submit to the other. If the Kaide Corporation wanted to interfere in the management aspect, it would probably cause a mess!
When Chu Fangzheng heard that, he had an idea and told Tang Xi that Tang Xi could consider collaborating with the Chu Group. Although the Chu Group wasn't as big as the Kaide Corporation, he could gather some smaller ones. Together, they would be able to fight to a draw with the Kaide Corporation!
Moreover, they were all people in a small faction and wouldn't be overly involved in the Jiahe Corporation's operations and management. The Jiahe Corporation would make all the decisions, and they only needed to get a slice of the pie!
Tang Xi hesitated for a long time before he relented and told Chu Fangzheng to gather the funds first. If they could really meet the Jiahe Corporation's requirements, Tang Xi would naturally choose to work with Chu Fangzheng first.
Hence, Chu Fangzheng used the Jiahe Corporation's banner and went around to gather small and medium-sized enterprises …
When Chu Fangzheng felt that it was about time, he went to look for Tang Xi and told him which enterprises he had roped in and that he would definitely be able to gather the funds.
Tang Xi looked at the information Chu Fangzheng had prepared and smiled. Chu Fangzheng was already an adult, but why didn't he have any sincerity in doing things …
Chu Fangzheng could just say that he had already pulled in the funds, but who knew if he had pulled it off or not?! The project this time was a big one … it would affect the Jiahe Corporation's big projects for the next few years! With Chu Fangzheng doing this … Tang Xi didn't dare to work with Chu Fangzheng!
Chu Fangzheng was smart. He said that as long as Tang Xi could sign a contract with him … he would immediately go and sign a contract with those enterprises.
Tang Xi immediately stood up with his phone, cigarettes, and lighter. He said to Chu Fangzheng that the Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation working together was the safest way. Why should he take the risk and sign a contract with Chu Fangzheng, who had nothing, for Chu Fangzheng's benefit? Wasn't that a joke?
Tang Xi was famous for his sharp tongue, so he didn't stand on ceremony. He directly smiled and asked if Chu Fangzheng was throwing away his pride just because he was older, or did he think that his face was as big as the moon and everyone had to give him face?
Seeing that Tang Xi was about to leave, Chu Fangzheng panicked …
Tang Xi said that Chu Fangzheng had already wasted so much of his time, so he shouldn't look for him in the future! The Chu Group could do whatever it wanted. Otherwise, he wouldn't end up getting himself dirty instead!
Chu Fangzheng gritted his teeth. He wanted to show Tang Xi his sincerity and ability, so when he went back, he started signing contracts with the small and medium enterprises he had contacted. He told those enterprises that the Chu Group had already signed a contract with the Jiahe Corporation so that they wouldn't have to worry.
This was why Su Huan heard that the Jiahe Corporation had signed a contract with the Chu Group …
Fu Huai 'an didn't want to go into depth about this matter. This was merely a scheme that Fu Huai' an and Xie Jingqiu had set up.
Fu Huai 'an looked up, his deep and unfathomable black eyes gazing at Su Huan …
Su Huan smiled honestly and said to Fu Huai 'an, "To be honest, it's because Mr. Chu came to my house and talked to my father about this matter. But I've always felt that there's no such thing as a free lunch in the sky!"
Fu Huai 'an nodded, feeling that it was rare for Su Huan to understand things so clearly …
"Up until now, the Jiahe Corporation hasn't announced to the public that it has signed a contract with the Chu Group. But … the Chu Group's attitude towards announcing to the public that they have signed a contract with the Jiahe Corporation isn't very clear. No matter how the media presses on, they haven't come out to say if they have really signed a contract with the Chu Group. They only say that this is a trade secret, so I've considered it repeatedly and haven't made a decision yet!"
Fu Huai 'an had helped Su Huan this time, and Su Huan was someone who knew how to be grateful. The reason he mentioned this matter was because he was afraid that Chu Fangzheng was up to no good. He wanted to give Fu Huai' an a heads up and let him be more careful.
Seeing that Fu Huai 'an wasn't replying, Su Huan couldn't help reminding him, "Mr. Fu, you have to be careful about this matter …"
