Reborn 60 years ago, became a god thanks to the prophet

Facing Zhang Yiming's deep eyes.

Ye Chen didn't seem surprised by what the Lord of Byte said.

His expression remained unchanged as he smiled faintly.

"So I understand that Director Cheng Zhang wants me to answer your question?"

"No, Mr. Ye, you don't have to answer! As I said just now, if you are a descendant of the Lin family, I will accept ByteDance holding only 20% of the shares. But if the rumors about your family background are really untrue, then ByteDance needs at least 30% of the shares to be worth taking the risk. In addition to the 30% stake, a joint shareholding ratio of no less than 4% must be reserved!" Zhang Yiming said.

In addition to thirty percent of the equity.

Do we also need to set aside a common shareholding ratio of no less than four percent?

what's going on?

Is this an attempt to completely prevent himself from gaining absolute controlling rights one day?

After all, 30+4=34.

In this way, even if he were to acquire all the shares except ByteDance one day, excluding ByteDance's 66% and the 67% of joint holdings that could not be unilaterally diluted, his shareholding would be at most %, which was just below the % of absolute control in terms of procedure.

"Boss Ye, I was just thinking about being a villain first and a gentleman later. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"

After a pause.

Zhang Yiming finally added a sentence.

"I understand, I absolutely understand!"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently, "But Director Zhang, have you forgotten what I just said? I hope ByteDance will join us, but that doesn't mean I can't achieve my goal without ByteDance!"

"Indeed, I have to admit this. I have never denied that Mr. Ye has connections everywhere. He can make the official diplomacy support you and stand up for you with an unprecedented tough attitude towards foreign countries. This is enough to explain a lot! But, from the perspective of ByteDance and from my perspective, I must weigh the potential gains and losses and risks!" Zhang Yiming said.

"In other words, President Zhang doesn't really care whether our cooperation can be successful, is that what you mean?" Ye Chen shook his head intriguingly.

"No, Mr. Ye, if I didn't care, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to look for you today! I just want to hear a definite answer from you, or... I just want to get reassurance from you!" Zhang Yiming said.

"But what if I answer that I'm not a descendant of the Lin family, and that the rumors about my family background are all unreliable rumors? What will Director Zhang do? Will he firmly demand a 30% stake? No deal if it's less than 30%?" Ye Chen said playfully.

Zhang Yiming couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Ye Chen continued, "I'm very happy that Director Zhang came to see me, but I don't like the way he speaks and thinks, so I can only give him 15% of the shares at most. Director Zhang can go back and think about whether to cooperate. If he doesn't want to get involved, I won't force him! Of course, no matter what, it won't affect our friendship, just like it won't affect my accompanying Director Zhang to taste the top cooking skills from the top Western chefs today!"

This statement came out.

It basically means that Ye Chen is going to end the topic.

But unlike Ye Chen, he remained calm and composed.

Zhang Yiming's expression suddenly changed after hearing these words!

What does this mean?

From 20 percent to 15 percent?

And this is when you have already made your attitude clear?

this--

Is this an attempt to frame him tactically, or is this a way to answer the questions you want to know?

Is this a side-by-side answer to the fact that he is the descendant of the Lin family, the grandson of Lin Chaoyang, and the son of Minister Lin Fengxue?

at this time.

A bell rang in the private room filled with high-tech features.

Followed by.

Keane, one of the top chefs in the Western world, and even in the world, personally pushed the food cart into the private room.

"Mr. Ye, long time no see!"

As soon as they entered the private room, Keane spoke first with his eyes shining brightly.

"Are you looking forward to my coming every day?" Ye Chen smiled bitterly.

"Yes, I have to admit that I always look forward to your presence here, because that means I will have a new promotion!" Keane answered seriously.

"So some of the food on the dining car isn't on the menu?"

Ye Chen guessed that Keane would definitely not miss this opportunity and his helpless smile deepened.

"Yes, because such opportunities are rare, I must seize them and cherish them!" Keane said.

However, Zhang Yiming was confused by the conversation between the two.

What is this talking about?

But he soon found out.

As the food from the dining car was served.

As a top chef, Keane did not step down.

Instead, he stood by and watched closely the changes in Ye Chen's expression while he was eating.

At this point, Zhang Yiming was still completely confused.

Until Ye Chen tried a round of food outside the menu.

Until he saw Keane humbly asking Ye Chen for advice.

The Lord of Bytes' jaw almost dropped.

What made him feel even more shocked and unbelievable was yet to come.

When Ye Chen commented on the food and gave cooking suggestions, Keane was so excited that he looked like he had found a treasure. He even took out a pen and paper and started writing quickly, as if he was worried that he would miss a word Ye Chen said.

this....

Isn’t this a bit contrary to the Tiangang?

It would be bad enough for the world's top chef to ask Ye Chen to comment on his food, but he also regarded his comments and suggestions as treasures?

If this is not a double act.

Does that mean that Ye Chen possesses such top-notch Western cooking skills that even the world's top chefs would humbly ask for advice?

But how does this make sense?

For Ye Chen, who had only become wealthy in a few short years, it was already extremely rare for him to be able to understand the food prepared by top chefs.

And you're giving advice to the other party? And making the other party feel that the advice is a treasure?

Is this something a man who has lived at the bottom of society for more than 20 years and has only been rich for a few years can possess?

Or...the past twenty years or so were just an illusion deliberately created by humans?

Yes.

Zhang Yiming, who had preconceived ideas, suddenly came up with some absurd ideas that even he himself thought were no different from online cool novels!

The dinner ended in his astonishment.

As for Ye Chen, he never mentioned any cooperation since Keane appeared.

Outside the Tenglong Hotel.

Zhang Yiming, who was sitting in the Maybach heading towards the airport, couldn't stop his chaotic thoughts for a long time.

Finally, I couldn't hold it back anymore.

I hesitated several times.

Finally, he took out his cell phone and dialed the number of Wang Jing'an, the top young master in Sijiu City.
