Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Facing Doug's questioning, Wells raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

He did not respond directly to Doug, but turned his gaze to Song Weixuan beside him, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Then he turned around and looked at Doug with a smile, his tone relaxed but provocative: "Mr. Doug, I understand your thoughts, but there is not only one choice in the business world.

We at Citibank offered a higher price and are willing to reach more cooperation with Hengyuan Electronics.

In this highly competitive market environment, Hengyuan Electronics has the right to choose the partners that are most conducive to its development."

After saying that, Wells shrugged slightly, as if hinting to Doug that their strength and conditions were more advantageous.

Zhao Wenhao sat aside and watched the argument quietly.

Hearing Wells' words, he nodded secretly in his heart to express his agreement.

After all, business transactions are often accompanied by risks and uncertainties. It is undoubtedly a good thing for enterprises to find more partners with strength and resources.

Moreover, Wells was right. When it comes to business, it is the nature of every businessman to pursue profit maximization.

Although he has a certain relationship with Meifeng Group and Goldman Sachs, when making business decisions, he must consider the long-term interests of the company as well as his own interests.

In addition, Wells's mention of further cooperation with Hengyuan Electronics also made Zhao Wenhao very excited.

It would be a rare opportunity if Hengyuan Electronics could further expand its business scope with the help of Citibank.

However, he also understood that making such a decision required careful weighing of the pros and cons of all parties.

After all, Meifeng Group and Goldman Sachs Group have also provided a lot of help to Hengyuan Electronics, and he cannot easily abandon this trust.

Therefore, after Wells finished speaking, Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but nod in his heart, feeling that Wells had expressed his thoughts.

There were some things he wasn't comfortable saying, especially after the initial round of financing, when Meifeng Group and Goldman Sachs made significant efforts in building Hengyuan Electronics' store chain.

Because of this, Zhao Wenhao owed someone a favor.

However, the two companies are undoubtedly doing this out of self-interest. If Hengyuan Electronics can continue to develop steadily, it will naturally benefit them greatly.

The person who ultimately benefited the most was Zhao Wenhao himself.

Therefore, Zhao Wenhao also promised that under the same conditions, he would give priority to cooperating with these two group companies.

Now, a dark horse suddenly emerged with a higher bid. Faced with this situation, Zhao Wenhao would inevitably start to consider other more favorable options.

As Wells said, in the business world, profit comes first.

However, Zhao Wenhao did not want to have a bad relationship with the other two families because that would only put both sides in trouble.

"Everyone, can we all make some concessions?" Zhao Wenhao finally stood up and glanced at everyone, finally landing on Song Weixuan and Doug. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I did make promises to both parties before. Although I previously told Meifeng Group and Goldman Sachs that under equal conditions, you have the right of first choice.

We've been working together for so long, and we have a certain emotional foundation. I believe everyone is already aware of Citibank's offer.

From a personal perspective, I certainly hope that my shares can be sold at a high price.”

Zhao Wenhao's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Song Weixuan frowned. He roughly understood what Zhao Wenhao meant.

Obviously, Zhao Wenhao does not intend to sell all of these 20% shares to Meifeng Group or Goldman Sachs Group, but plans to divide these 20% shares among the various companies for mutual benefit and win-win results.

In this way, the needs of Citibank can be met while maintaining good relations with Meifeng Group and Goldman Sachs.

However, for Song Weixuan, this plan was not what he expected.

"What does Mr. Zhao think?" Doug also frowned. He looked at Zhao Wenhao with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He originally thought that Goldman Sachs and Meifeng Group could acquire at least 15% of the shares, but now it seems that the situation has changed.

Zhao Wenhao took a deep breath, looked at the three giants in front of him with a firm gaze, and slowly said: "My idea is very simple. In the first round of financing, Meifeng Group and Goldman Sachs Group each held 5% of the shares, so the 20% this time will be given to Citibank.

I plan to sell 10% of my shares to Citibank, and the remaining 10% will be divided equally between the two of you.

This way, each of you three will hold a 10% stake.

Of course, Citibank also has to deliver on its promise of a low-interest loan and assistance in listing Hengyuan Electronics on Hong Kong Island."

Zhao Wenhao spoke in a firm tone, as if there was no room for negotiation.

There was a determination in his eyes that shocked people.

This was not a discussion with the three people present, but he directly told them that this was his decision!

As soon as Zhao Wenhao finished speaking, a knowing smile immediately appeared on Wells' face.

He knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to monopolize all 20% of the shares and surpass the other two giants.

After all, he was a latecomer, and a certain degree of cooperation had already been established between them.

When I said before that I wanted to take it all, it was more of a strategy, and the purpose was naturally to bargain.

Now, Zhao Wenhao decided to give him 10%, on par with the other two companies, and he is already quite satisfied.

You know, before coming here, he thought he could only get 5%.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Wenhao finished speaking, Wells smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao is right, and this is fair. We at Citibank fully agree."

At this time, Song Weixuan and Doug looked at each other. Things had deviated from their original intention by this point.

But the situation is stronger than people. Now Zhao Wenhao has given them a final ultimatum. If they still don't agree, they may not even get the last 10%.

The two looked at each other and finally made a decision.

"Okay, we agree to this plan." Song Weixuan gave an affirmative answer.

Zhao Wenhao laughed out loud. In this way, he could finally maximize his benefits.

With the help of these three companies in arranging the listing in Hong Kong, I believe that as long as there are no major mistakes, it will be a success.

Then, Zhao Wenhao called Lu Han in.

Lu Han, who was waiting outside, was well prepared. When he saw Zhao Wenhao calling him, he immediately led some clerks to start drafting a preliminary agreement.

This agreement is just a summary, indicating that everyone agrees on the matter. It is also binding on all parties.

A resolution will only be formed after all parties take the document back for deliberation and finally sign and seal it.
