On the back seat of the scooter, Lin Chuan laughed, “Do you really want to ask Old Zhang?”
“Wasn’t it you who said we should ask Old Zhang?” Little Landlady looked puzzled and asked in return.
“`
Lin Chuan smiled, “I’ve already refused President Yu, you know!”
“Ah, you refused?”
Little Landlady Zhang Xinxin was startled again and asked in puzzlement, “When did you refuse?”
“Little rich lady, during the negotiation process, asking for a third party’s opinion or saying ‘let me think about it’ can be considered a refusal, and Yu Keke is clear about my meaning,” Lin Chuan explained with a smile.
Little Landlady pouted, “I see.”
“What else?” Lin Chuan said with a smile.
“I think the price that Keke offered was very high, the market quote, plus the 6% stake in Anzhou Pharmaceutical, showed a lot of sincerity. It was nearly double the value of that land,” said the Little Landlady with a puzzled expression.
“That’s exactly why I refused,” Lin Chuan explained.
“Why?”
The Little Landlady was even more perplexed.
“If she really offered double the price for that land, I would have signed the land transfer agreement directly, but she insisted on offering stock equity as a swap,” Lin Chuan said with a serious tone.
“Equity? I’ve looked at their Anzhou Pharmaceutical’s financial reports for the past few years; they have been profitable. After going public, the value of the equity would definitely surge!” exclaimed the Little Landlady, who as the chief financial officer, was working on the development plans for the 720 company and had gained deeper insight into business development.
The shared electric bike wasn’t moving fast, the wind next to their ears wasn’t loud, and it didn’t hinder their conversation.
Lin Chuan nodded, “That’s exactly why, if we accept her stake, it’s as if we’re buying into Anzhou Pharmaceutical. Should anything happen to Anzhou Pharmaceutical, we won’t be able to disassociate ourselves from it.”
The Little Landlady opened her mouth to speak, but then swallowed her words.
She thought Lin Chuan made a lot of sense.
The waters of the business world are too deep.
With her current ability, it seemed she could not grasp control and could only rely on Lin Chuan.
But, Lin Chuan’s mind wasn’t completely focused on business.
He was more inclined towards his novel career.
After all, the novel career could not only bring in a considerable amount of money but also grant a unique set of professional skills!
As long as the professions he experienced were numerous, one of them would be useful eventually.
“We don’t lack money, let’s hold onto that land for now,” Lin Chuan said with a smile.
“Alright, as the Director says,” the Little Landlady said with a beaming smile.
Lin Chuan’s gaze fell on the roadside, where in the pitch-black night, the distant mountains resembled lurking beasts, ready to stretch out their claws or open their gaping mouths at any moment!
Actually, there were some things Lin Chuan hadn’t fully explained to the Little Landlady.
He suspected that the 6% stake was targeting him!
To be precise,
Yu Keke might be trying to get him involved in Anzhou Pharmaceutical’s business activities.
After all, having a stake would make it impossible to be completely unrelated.
And Yu Keke had expressed that she was a true fan of Lin Chuan, having read all of his novels.
Some secret events involving Lin Chuan were kept under wraps.
However, there were many events that weren’t classified as secret and were well known by the readers.
Yu Keke couldn’t possibly be unaware of Lin Chuan’s capabilities!
Therefore, Lin Chuan had reason to suspect that Yu Keke’s motive for wanting Anzhou Pharmaceutical’s 6% equity was to use his reputation.
Even possibly, Yu Keke was trying to draw him into a scheme.
Whether it was a good or a bad situation, Lin Chuan didn’t want to get involved.
Moreover, Liu Meng—mother of the Little Landlady and the General Manager of the Han River District of Huarun Foreign Trade Export Company—also wanted him to become her assistant.
It was as if invisible hands were trying to pull him in.
Being cautious, Lin Chuan simply refused them all!
…
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yu Keke returned to Anzhou Pharmaceutical.
A mysterious phone call reached her.
The first sentence on the phone was: “Coco, how did you let the formula for our new type of addictive drugs leak out!”
