Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Then he picked up a wet tissue from the table and wiped his middle and index fingers.

Then he chimed in at the opportune moment: "So, this hotel project of mine can be considered a joint laboratory with DaMi. Manager Wang will make demands from the perspective of hotel operations and top-tier customer needs; your DaMi technical team will be responsible for researching and overcoming these challenges. If it's successful, it will not only be Xingchen's flagship hotel, but also a benchmark case for your DaMi solutions, and a testing ground for your technology to be 'gilded'."

“Joint laboratory…” Lei Jun repeated the word, a sharp glint in his eyes.

“This is a good idea. We used to always think about how to sell our products, but the real high value lies in the ability to develop scenario solutions. Hotels, especially the kind of top-tier hotels you want to work with, are one of the most complex scenarios.”

After saying that, Lei Jun's smiling face suddenly turned shrewd.

"By the way, Mr. Chen should have mentioned to you that Yunmi genuinely wants to deeply integrate with Xingchen's hotel project. We've approached quite a few partners regarding high-end smart scenarios, but when it comes to operational capabilities and brand image, no one can compare to you, Mr. Jiang."

He paused, then changed the subject, his tone carrying a subtle but assertive force: "Of course, regarding the performance-based agreement, I personally think it's unnecessary. We're all sensible people; cooperation is about mutual trust, and performance-based agreements damage relationships. Yunmi is backed by the rice ecosystem, and in the smart home appliance sector, we are the absolute leader. If we enter in the pre-IPO round, we're guaranteed to make a profit after the IPO."

Jiang Cheng ran his fingertips along the warm cup, looked up at him, and spoke in a flat, unreadable tone.

"Mr. Lei, I see your sincerity in cooperating. But I have my own judgment on Yunmi's valuation and its performance after listing. How long will the capital market buy into a company that relies on mobile phones for 70% of its revenue and claims that hardware profits will not exceed 5%? Once the price of rice falls below the issue price on the first day of listing, Yunmi's valuation will probably collapse as well."

He paused, then spoke each word with conviction: "A performance-based agreement, phased investment, and no custom logo. If any one of these three conditions is missing, cooperation is out of the question."

Wang Yuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, her back already damp with a thin layer of sweat.

While Jiang Cheng was teasing her, she secretly planned to flirt with him in return.

Anyway, it's much easier to flirt with a man than a woman.

Unlike her, whose perfectly good Balenciaga bag was suddenly punctured with a round hole.

But just as her hand touched Jiang Cheng's thigh, she heard Jiang Cheng say these words.

Jiang Cheng's words were not aggressive at all, but every word hit the nail on the head, dismantling the problem that Lei Jun had just raised completely.

At this moment, there was no trace of the playful banter in his eyes, only the calm and composure of someone in control of their strategy.

Seeing her suddenly become so serious, Wang Yuyan dared not make any further moves.

She quietly withdrew her hand, even her breathing became lighter.

They were afraid of disrupting the atmosphere at the negotiating table.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's assertive attitude, Lei Jun's smile froze for a moment.

Just as he was about to retort, the door to the private room was gently pushed open by the waiter.

Two waiters quietly placed the dishes on the table.

The door was opened a little wide when I came in, and the sounds from the hallway could be clearly heard.

"Mr. Zhao, please give me another month or so. As long as the commercial complex in the west of the city is successfully topped out, the funds will be recovered immediately once the pre-sales begin. Your money will be returned with interest, not a penny less!"

A deep, hoarse but urgent voice reached Lei Jun's ears.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and when he saw the person's face clearly, he paused for a moment while drinking his tea.

Isn't that Xu Jiayin?

At this moment, Xu Jiayin's well-tailored custom-made suit was still impeccably pressed, and his tie was tied meticulously.

However, the gray hair at his temples had increased significantly compared to when I saw him six months ago.

The bloodshot eyes couldn't hide the fatigue from days of running around.

He was bowing slightly, speaking rapidly to the middle-aged man in front of him.

The posture appears to be extremely humble.

Upon seeing this, Lei Jun was momentarily speechless.

Everyone knows that this year is Xu Jiayin's most successful year.

After all, he is the richest man this year.

Normally, you have to make an appointment half a month in advance just to see him.

Why are you looking like this today?

With that thought, he immediately turned his gaze to the middle-aged man next to Xu Jiayin.

He looked impatient and raised his hand to interrupt Xu Jiayin.

“Xu Jiayin, it’s not that I’m not giving you face. Your bid for the South City land king was withdrawn, and your overseas trust funds are tied up. Everyone in the industry knows how big the hole is in your Xu family right now. I dare not throw real money down the drain.”

Seeing that he had finished speaking and then left with his men, Xu Jiayin froze on the spot.

It was clear that he was subtly controlling his emotions.

But even with his back ramrod straight, he couldn't hide the dejection emanating from his entire being.

Xu Jiayin raised his hand and gently pressed his fingertips against his brow, suppressing the weariness in his eyes.

Although Daheng is not yet at its wit's end.

However, Xu Zhi's actions made the entire group feel like it was on the verge of collapse.

The profits and losses of tens of billions were already troubling him.

However, starting this morning, several of my major investment projects were suddenly halted, and banks also began to tighten credit.

This series of problems was what truly gave him a headache.

In just one night, Daheng found himself in a predicament.

Currently, Daheng's cash reserves are barely enough to maintain the group's basic operations.

So as soon as it was light today, he quickly flew from Shenzhen to Beijing.

However, unexpectedly, once this problem arose, those who were originally closely connected with each other somehow got wind of it and all kept their distance.

At this moment, the person he hated most wasn't Xu Zhi, but Jiang Cheng!
