Two weeks later, a major event occurred in the southern part of the city.

Several clothing companies joined forces to hold a press conference, where they showcased their new clothing products.

However, after the products were displayed, it was discovered that every single one of them had a fatal flaw.

At the same time, Lin Fan seized the opportunity to cause a scene and also launched their Lin family's clothing.

Not only is its design nearly identical to those exquisite costumes, but it also avoids all of their drawbacks.

And so, Lin Fan seized this opportunity to firmly establish himself in Nancheng.

Lin Fan's clothing business began to spread throughout the southern part of the city, and it also set off a fashion trend throughout the city.

Moreover, when Lin Fan's business in Nancheng was at its peak, Liu Qi, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, came knocking on his door.

"Mr. Lin, it's been a long time!"

When Lin Fan met Liu Qi again, his status and position had changed dramatically, so Liu Qi's attitude became much more polite.

Lin Fan remained as calm as ever, showing no special consideration for him because of his relationship with his mother.

In his eyes, Liu Qi was just a stranger. There was no pretense between them. He didn't want to put his mother in a difficult position, and he didn't want to use or obtain anything that didn't concern him.

"Mr. Liu, it's been a long time. What brings you here to see me?"

Liu Qi looked at Lin Fan with a slight smile and said, "I've come here today to discuss a business deal with Mr. Lin!"

"If Mr. Lin is willing to close this deal with me, we will be the most loyal partners from now on. I believe that if we join hands, we will definitely be able to expand beyond Nancheng, into the whole country, and even the world."

Lin Fan hadn't expected Liu Qi to say these things to him.

Although he has achieved some success in Nancheng, he is still far behind a behemoth like Liu Qi, so he has no reason to value himself so much.

So Lin Fan looked at Liu Qi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Liu, if I may be frank, it seems that our business doesn't overlap much, does it?"

“I remember you mainly do business in electronics, while I do clothing. We have absolutely nothing to do with each other, so there’s probably no need for us to cooperate.”

As if he had anticipated Lin Fan's words, Liu Qi showed no surprise. Instead, he smiled and said to Lin Fan, "Mr. Lin, there's a saying that goes, 'Everything has a first time, and once you have a first time, there will naturally be subsequent results.'"

“We didn’t know each other before, but now we do, right? Similarly, we’ve never worked together before, but after our first collaboration, we can naturally become friends, don’t you think?”

If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Fan naturally didn't want to offend someone like Liu Qi, so after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Since Mr. Liu is so sincere, how do you want to cooperate with me? I'll consider it if it's possible."

"Haha, Mr. Lin is a very straightforward person. In that case, I'll speak frankly."

"My idea of ​​cooperating with you is very simple: I hope Mr. Lin can merge your factory and company into my portfolio!"

"Mr. Lin, you can still continue doing business with us. I can give you the position of general manager of our company so you can be in charge of your current clothing business. How about that?"

"Of course, in return, I will give you 10% of the company's shares, plus an extra million. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's expression suddenly darkened, as he had been curious about Liu Qi.

He wanted to merge his company into his own and then have himself work for him.

This guy really came up with something, but why should I do it?

Lin Fan looked at Liu Qi, shook his head slightly, and said, "Mr. Liu, are you joking with me?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said seriously, "Boss Lin should know that I'm not the type to joke around!"

"From what Mr. Lin is saying, you're not going to consider my suggestion?"

"Mr. Lin, are you so confident that you can run your business well and earn a million or even more money? I think I've already set very, very high a price!"

"Ten percent of my company's shares plus one million. Even if you do nothing in the future, you can live comfortably off these. Isn't that enough to sway Mr. Lin?"

Liu Qi looked at Lin Fan and asked aggressively.

It has to be said that his conditions are indeed very tempting, especially the 10% share. Lin Fan didn't know how big Liu Qi's business was now, but he estimated that it could earn millions of yuan a year. In other words, as long as he agreed to this request, even if he did nothing for the rest of his life, he could still have at least 100,000 yuan in income every year.

Indeed, for an ordinary person, receiving such a large sum of money, plus an additional million in compensation, would almost certainly allow them to live a carefree life. But Lin Fan had his own ideals.

He wanted to recreate the glory of his past life, or even surpass himself in his past life, so how could he easily hand over the family business he had built up?

Moreover, Liu Qi's demands might fool ordinary people, but you can't fool him. He makes it sound nice, like handing over 10% of the company's shares to him. Lin Fan knows very well that these titles can be used to short sell at any time. He can easily transfer the money to start a new company, and then the original company will become an empty shell. Even if you hold 100% of the shares, what can you do?

"Mr. Liu, thank you for thinking so highly of me and offering such a high price. However, I've never been one to sit back and wait for money to fall into my hands. I prefer to work hard myself!"

"I have put in a lot of effort to get to where I am today. Not only me, but also my family and friends have all contributed a lot. So I will not agree to this request."

Lin Fan resolutely refused. Even though Liu Qi was sincere and his request was genuine, Lin Fan still wouldn't agree. As he said before, he wanted to surpass his former self and would never work for someone else.

Liu Qi hadn't expected Lin Fan to refuse so decisively, without even the slightest hesitation or doubt. So he looked at Lin Fan and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lin, are you really not going to reconsider?"

"Actually, I have high hopes for Mr. Lin. Rather than what I want from those industries, I want you as a person more. One person's strength is ultimately limited. Once you've seen a bigger world, you'll understand what I mean."
