Did the world end today?

Chapter 47 Are you willing to take a gamble?

A war of words.

Lin Xu had never actually participated in any formal business negotiations, so in his mind, such negotiations involving large sums of money should be high-end and serious.

It should be a scene of business elites, dressed in high-end custom-made, well-fitting suits and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sitting on either side of a long negotiating table, engaging in a meticulous verbal battle with rigorous arguments and sharp language.

There should be thick materials on the desktop, and data charts on the large screen.

The secretary should stand quietly to the side, ready to record any flaws in the other party's statements, and then whisper them in the boss's ear. Once the boss catches a flaw, he can deliver a fatal blow with a sophisticated rhetoric infused with "legal provisions, business practices, and economic principles."
-
However, things turned out to be completely different from what he had imagined.

The entire negotiation was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers from the very beginning, so much so that Lin Xu thought he was at a table in a late-night snack stall after drinking too much.

The large screen had long been in standby mode due to lack of operation, playing a silent advertisement for men's hair growth products on a loop.

A secretary only does two things.

Pour the tea.

And picking up the materials that the angry investor had thrown at Ren Jian's face.

"Ren Lao Diao, you son of a bitch!"

"No matter what, did you discuss it with us before making this decision?"

"We invested in you because we trust you. Otherwise, why wouldn't we invest in other companies in the same industry in China?"

"Damn it, I thought you'd settled down and started working on your test ship, since it was doing so well."

"And then, before I knew it, you'd caused me this huge mess again!?"

"Anyway, I'm not going to waste any more words with you today."

"Didn't you want to get into chemical fibers and materials?"

"Didn't you say you already had the technical documentation and were just waiting to implement it?"

"Give me the document right now!"

"If you can't come up with the money, there's no point in discussing further investment!"

"We can see the current financial situation of your company. You only have less than 7000 million in cash on hand. How much will be left after paying salaries next month?"

"It'll be many years before you can cash out. I'm not investing, let's see who the hell would dare to invest in you!"

The investor, with a receding hairline, was glaring and swearing, but Ren Jian remained unmoved.

"It's definitely impossible to produce the document. This document is very special and its completeness is quite high."

"However, we have not yet completed actual production trials or applied for patents, so it is impossible to disclose it in advance."

"So that's it?"

The Mediterranean questioned.

"Yes, but I can't give it to you."

Ren Jian remained calm and composed.

"Then I absolutely must watch it!"

"Let's finalize the investment intentions first."

"What if I don't vote?"

"Then I won't show it to you."

"You fucking old bastard, you're a fucking tough nut to crack, aren't you??"

Mediterranean slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and pointed to the document on the table, saying:
"You think you can swindle two hundred million yuan from us with just this little bit of stuff?"

Do you think I'm a child?

"I didn't steal your money."

Ren Jian remained calm and composed.

"Our investment intention is based on your confidence in Test No. 3 and has nothing to do with Sky Dome Technology's current acquisition activities."

"If you believe the investment conditions have changed, then withdraw your investment."

"I never said you couldn't withdraw your investment."

After he said that, not only the investors on the other side, but even Lin Xu was dumbfounded.

Damn it.

The way you're talking, aren't you just heading straight for the conversation to fall apart?
Investors threaten you, so you threaten them back, right?
So this is also a negotiation strategy?
But something doesn't seem right.

Judging from the expression on Ren Jian's face, he really didn't seem to be faking it.

His eyes were incredibly firm, and his body was completely relaxed.

It's as if he doesn't care about the 200 million investment right in front of him at all, and doesn't even want to fight for it.

The way he sat there conveyed only one unspoken message.

Take it or leave it.

Lin Xu felt that if he were facing him, he would probably have been intimidated.

But the Mediterranean man didn't buy into that.

"Trying to fool me, huh? Not going to vote?"

"Fine, if you don't want to submit, then don't!" "We only have one letter of intent now, so I'm not going to do it!"

"If you're so great, then go do it yourself. I want to see how long you can keep up this little bit of money!"

With that, Mediterranean stood up angrily, making a move to walk towards the door.

Ren Jian coughed and said:

"and many more."

The Mediterranean Sea paused, then came to a stop.

He turned around and asked:
"Have you thought it through? Are you still willing to talk?"

"If you want to talk, bring out the complete materials and let our experts take a look."

"I'll pretend what just happened never occurred, and I can give you another chance!"

"No."

Ren Jian shook his head and said:
"I'm giving you another chance."

"You have no idea how much benefit these two materials could bring if they could be industrialized."

"If you don't understand, just ask the expert next to you."

"You don't understand, but he definitely does."

Mediterranean looked at the middle-aged man wearing glasses beside him, who nodded, clearly wanting Mediterranean to continue the conversation.

But Ren Jian still did not make any concessions.

"As I said before, we have already shown you the preliminary materials, and you should have a certain idea of ​​the authenticity of these materials."

"If you want to invest or cooperate in the future, then make your judgment based on this preliminary information."

"If you feel you can't tell the difference."

"Then I'll find a more knowledgeable investor."

".Depend on!"

Mediterranean left with a curse and pushed open the door to leave.

The expert he brought stood there helplessly for a moment, and then could only sigh and leave.

Lin Xu, who hadn't had a chance to speak from beginning to end, finally walked up to Ren Jian and asked:
"So...our talks broke down?"

"Is such that."

Ren Jian nodded slightly.

"However, only the negotiations broke down; we didn't collapse."

"Don't worry, Lin Xu."

Even if you don't need to find a solution, I still have other ways.

"Isn't it just capital? Isn't it just a factory?"

"This process document is quite complete. Can we get the patent approved within a month?"

"If we could, we wouldn't need to look for investment."

"Bringing in too much investment will also make our equity structure more chaotic, which is not what you want to see, right?"

"so."

"Why don't we just sell everything we own and take a gamble!"

"Fifty million, and I'll also estimate 5000 million for subsequent production, trial production, new equipment procurement, and staff salaries."

"A total of one hundred million."

"I happen to have another house that I can sell."

"So, Lin Xu, are you in or not?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu frowned.

Do it or not?
In fact, obtaining the complete technical documentation would not be difficult for him, nor would it be an accident.

The greatest risks in the entire trial production process lie in the acquisition of equipment and the actual operation.

Many of the advanced equipment needed in the process are not easy to obtain, and the actual operation also requires an experienced and skilled person to lead the way.

If these two aspects are not handled properly, the trial production progress will be severely delayed.

but.
With Xu Jin's connection, it shouldn't be too difficult?
Lin Xu took a deep breath.

That's it.

He looked up at Ren Jian and nodded firmly, saying:

"Done!"

"Furthermore, we should not set a goal of one month."

Two weeks!

"We'll get the equipment and personnel in one week, complete the trial production in one week, and apply for patents simultaneously!"
