Chapter 161: Negotiation failed?
Oh, so this is the eldest daughter of the Kong family, Kong Lingyi.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but look at the other person twice more.
To be honest, in the entire Kong family, only the eldest daughter seems like a normal person.
None of her brothers and sisters are good at dealing with people...
Of course, compared to her family background, Chen Yang is more interested in her love path.
Her mother and two aunts are not ordinary people. One loves money, one loves power, and one loves the country.
However, the eldest daughter born in the Kong family does not like these.
She and Chen Yang are of the same age, both born in the fourth year of the Republic of China.
I am already in my twenties. In the old society, it was common for people to get married and have children at this age.
At this age, Kong Lingyi will naturally be urged to get married by her family.
Moreover, as the eldest daughter of the richest man in the Republic of China, her marriage will naturally attract a lot of attention.
Even her aunt, the First Lady, was busy arranging things for her.
The first target is the old man's favorite, Hu Zongnan...
However, Kong Lingyi quickly rejected him.
The reason was even more outrageous. On their first date, Hu Zongnan actually wanted to take Kong Lingyi hiking.
And he kept urging her along the way, making Kong Lingyi so angry that she turned hostile on the spot...
The second one is even more famous. He is one of the five tiger generals under the old man, Wei Lihuang, who is known as the tiger general.
However, Kong Lingyi refused without even meeting him.
The reason is that Wei Lihuang's wife just died and she is old, so she feels that marrying him would be like being his concubine...
She looked down on both of them, and Song Ailing even thought her daughter preferred handsome guys.
So, she was introduced to Sun Tongxuan's younger brother, Sun Tonggang.
Unfortunately, she didn't like him either. Just when everyone thought she might be like Kong Lingwei and not like men.
She actually fell in love with Chen Jie'en, who had just returned from studying abroad at St. John's University.
Finally, in 1943, Kong Lingyi and Chen Jie'en got married in the United States.
Of course, it was only the 27th year of the Republic of China, and it was still a long time before she got married.
At this time, she had just rejected Hu Zongnan, and in order to avoid her parents' questions, she secretly ran back to Shanghai from the mountain city.
"Commander Chen has met my sister." Kong Lingwei saw Chen Yang staring at Kong Lingyi and thought that he might have a crush on Kong Lingyi.
Well, Chen Yang also looked handsome, but she was sure that Kong Lingyi would not like a boy like Chen Yang who was so scheming and cunning.
Besides, the French girl next to Chen Yang is much prettier than Kong Lingyi.
Kong Lingwei didn't believe that Chen Yang would abandon his French fiancée for Kong Lingyi whom he met for the first time...
"I haven't seen him, but I've heard of him for a long time." Chen Yang sighed and said, "Why? Even the eldest daughter of the Kong family has come out. It seems that the business you want to discuss with me is not small."
"Commander Chen,"
"First of all, I want to say sorry to you. It's rude of you to come here uninvited."
"I know there is some grudge between you and the Kong family. I don't want to say that this is just a misunderstanding or something. After all, it has already happened, and there is no point in shirking responsibility."
"But please believe me, I am here with all my sincerity to discuss business cooperation with you today."
"I have also asked very clearly about Ling Kan's previous behavior. It is true that what he did was wrong and very rude. I apologize to you again on his behalf."
"If you still feel angry and don't want to communicate with us, you can leave now and pretend we have never been here."
"But if you think we can still cooperate, then can we sit down and talk business?"
Kong Lingyi's tone is completely different from Kong Lingwei's chattering style.
She really is like the rich ladies portrayed in movies and TV dramas, with extraordinary manners and a soft voice, but she always sounds superior.
Chen Yang smacked his lips and sighed, "Tsk tsk, Miss Kong is indeed a model of a virtuous lady. Her every frown and smile has the demeanor of a noble family."
"Since you've come to this point, if I don't give you face, wouldn't it seem like I have no tolerance?"
"Okay, I want to know what you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Yang greeted Haley, George and others, and brought the two sisters of the Kong family to the lounge.
Several people sat down, and before Chen Yang could speak, Kong Lingyi started talking first.
"It's nothing, actually." Kong Lingyi smiled and said, "We heard that Chief Chen is investing in a drug, and many people are optimistic about this drug..."
"It's not even close yet," Chen Yang shrugged and said, "Although I have great confidence in this drug, I must tell you the truth."
"The research and development of this drug is at a bottleneck stage, and it is still difficult to achieve a major breakthrough in a short period of time."
"If Miss Kong is interested in this, I advise you to be cautious."
Upon hearing this, Kong Lingyi immediately turned her gaze to Kong Lingwei standing beside her.
Sure enough, just as the legend goes, the eldest daughter of the Kong family is not good at business matters.
"Commander Chen is a man who will never give up anything he has. You are willing to spend so much money to open a factory and conduct research and development."
"I just don't believe that you are not sure at all." Although he had only dealt with Chen Yang a few times, Kong Lingwei seemed to have figured out Chen Yang's character.
"Of course I am confident in my investment. After all, even if I lose money, it is my own money."
Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "But if you want to invest, I have to explain the risks to you first."
"You should know my personality. I will never deceive my partners."
"I believe this." Kong Lingwei said, "So, we have great confidence in you."
"Okay, since you are interested, I wonder how much you want to invest." With Chen Yang's current identity and status, he is not afraid of their tricks.
"Three million pounds, and we want half of the shares." Kong Lingwei revealed a number that made Chen Yang shudder.
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Three million pounds is fine, but half of the shares is impossible."
"The most I can give you is 10%..."
"What? Three million pounds to buy 10% of the shares, Chief Chen, do you think I'm tough?" Kong Lingwei's face fell instantly.
"I calculated the shares you gave Donald and his friends before I gave you this price."
"Don't be ungrateful..."
Chen Yang curled his lips. Donald and his friends’ shares were not paid in full. They were half-sold and half-given away just to win them over.
All together they hold less than 2% of the shares, which is about 100,000 pounds, enough to not make any big waves.
But the nature of this half of the shares is different. How could Chen Yang be willing to do things for others?
"General Manager, I hope you understand that only when I give it to you is it yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away..."
"This 10% of the shares is the price I paid after weighing the pros and cons. If I wait until the drug is successfully launched on the market, I estimate that I won't be able to buy even 1% of the shares with 3 million pounds..."
