122 Tang Jianfens Visitation (2/2)
Seeing Chen Fan was unwavering, Tang Jianfen paused again; he gritted his teeth and further sweetened the deal for Chen Fan.
”Of course, if you really think that thirty percent won't do, I can live with sixty percent, but no less. How's that?”
He looked to Chen Fan confidently.
Tang Jianfen was convinced that he already had a deal.
If Chen Fan wanted to promote the Yun Wu Spirit Water to the entire Chinese market, working with the Tang family would be his best option due to their matured channels for funding the aggressive ad campaign.
”As soon as I bring you on board, I will demand you to publish your recipe in the name of safety inspection and quality control. Once I get your secret recipe, I will find an excuse to kick you out of the company. Or, I would just make my own Spirit Water and give it a different name.”
The Tang family were quite good players in the game of ”big fish eats small fish.”
They had acquired a few lines of supplement products on the market right now using the exact same method. With the aggressive acquisition tactics, Tang Jianfen had made a fortune for himself. Tang Jianfen was convinced that this time was no different.
In his view, however powerful Chen Fan was, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy. What would a boy know about business tactics?
”You take sixty percent?”
Chen Fan sneered at Mr. Tang and asked abruptly: ”Compared to the Zhen Family from Hong Kong and The Wei Family of Jiang Bei, how powerful is the Tang Family?”
Tang Jianfen was taken aback by the question. He hesitated at first and then said: ”I think our powers are on par with each other. Both Old Man Zhen and Elderly Man Wei are tremendously influential. However, the Tang Jianfen also controlled a number of public companies and our power were not any less than their at least in Zhong Hai.”
”What about you? Are you the one who calls the shots in your family?” Chen Fan pressed on.
Tang Jianfen's face tightened. Nonetheless, he managed to reply: ”Although I am not the one making the decision, I have a five percent share of my family business. You don't have to worry about it. I assure you that once we reached an agreement, the Tang family will follow through the deal.”
”That's not what I am worried about.”
Chen Fan shook his head and burst out laughing.”What I am getting at is that you need to figure out your rank before you talk nonsense to me. Even Elderly Man Wei would have to speak respectfully to me, much less you. You are not even in charge of your family business, yet you dare tout your presumptuous business plan with me?
”If you want to work with me, ask your family leader to see me in person.”
Chen Fan shut the door after he finished his words, blocking Tang Jianfen outside of the room.
Standing in the hallway, Tang Jianfen's face turned black. He couldn't believe that Chen Fan had shut the door on him.
He couldn't imagine what had given Chen Fan so much confidence to shut him out.
As the heir of the Tang family and the leader of multiple public companies, he had never endured such humiliation before.
”Arrogant! He is so arrogant!” His body trembled in anger, as his eyes gleamed with bitter vindictiveness.
Chen Fan didn't mind Mr. Tang's anger at all.
Tang Jianfen was nothing but a worm. He could have squashed the entire Tang Family with ease if he wanted to.
”Does he really think I am a sixteen-year-old fool?” Chen Fan shook his head and smiled wryly.
”I alone created the Spirit Qi Water, and no one else could do that. Yet, he asked for seventy percent?”
The Spirit Qi Water was different than regular supplements in the way that it actually worked. Therefore, Chen Fan would never have to worry about demand, which rendered the investments in marketing useless. Tang Jianfen was out of his mind to ask for seventy percent of the profit for something that people just couldn't get enough of.
In Chen Fan's mind, he would be generous if he let the Tang Family take ten percent.
He shook his head and quickly forgot about this event.
The next day, everyone returned home.
Chen Fan stayed home and waited for the spring festival to come.
A few days later, he finally got the message that his mother and Sister An were already on their way to Si Shui County.
”Mom, Sister An, it has been a while.” Chen Fan looked into the distance wistfully. It was as if he was looking at his life five hundred years ago.
