The waiter started serving cold dishes.
A table full of meat and vegetables.
Hou Dejian greeted everyone and moved his chopsticks:
"Come, come, let's chat while we eat."
Zhao Chen picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth, then picked up the wine glass and looked for Lu Shen:
"Mr. Lu, let me toast you again."
Lu Shen smiled and raised a glass:
"Chairman Zhao is in great spirits today."
Zhao Chen drank it all in one gulp, and when he put down the glass, his face already had a hint of alcohol:
"High interest? Of course you are! After researching for more than half a year, I finally found a project that catches my eye."
He pointed at Hou Dejian:
"Mr. Hou, you Eagle are really an excellent company, otherwise Mr. Lu and I would not have come all the way here."
Hou Dejian's eyes lit up:
"Thank you Chairman Zhao for the compliment. We are not bragging. Our Eagle's position in the industry is just like Vanke's position to Real Estate."
Zhao Chen clasped his fingers:
"Indeed, as the first listed pig company in China, this heritage cannot be matched by others.
Your brand "Eagle Pasture Fragrance" is fully traceable. This system cannot be built in a day or two.
Moreover, he was able to think of the idea of smoothing cycles ahead of time, and he was at the forefront of the industry.
Finance + brand + channel, very good."
He poured himself another glass of wine:
"I did a lot of research and found out that A-share are pig companies, Muyuan is too expensive, Wens is too big, Zhengbang is too radical, and Tianbang is too small.
New Hope's main business is feed, and Dabeinong's main business is feed. After picking and choosing, your Eagle is the most suitable."
Hou Dejian smiled happily when he heard this:
"Chairman Zhao understands us so well!"
Chen Guihong answered the call from the side:
"Chairman Zhao has really worked hard."
Chen Xi sat next to Zhao Chen, with a subtle expression on his face.
She gently touched Zhao Chen's arm and whispered:
"Zhao Zong, you drank too much, please stop talking."
Zhao Chen waved his hand:
"It's okay, I know what's going on."
He looked at Lu Shen again:
"Mr. Lu, you Jiahe are also optimistic about this project, right?"
Lu Shen nodded:
"I'm really interested. But as we are in the capital business, we don't have a deep understanding of the breeding industry. Let's... give it a try."
Zhao Chen laughed:
"Trying the water? Mr. Lu is being humble. It will cost a few billion to test the water, right?"
Lu Shen also laughed:
"Chairman Zhao is joking."
He picked up the wine glass and toasted Zhao Chen again:
"Chairman Zhao, since we are all interested in this project, let's compete fairly.
Whoever has the best conditions will cooperate with Eagle. What do you think of Chairman Zhao?"
Zhao Chen slapped the table:
"Okay! Fair play!"
He raised his glass:
"Come and drink to fair competition!"
The two clinked their glasses and drank it all.
Chen Xi was very anxious beside him, and gently pulled Zhao Chen's sleeve:
"Zhao Zong, you really drank too much..."
Zhao Chen ignored her and continued talking to Lu Shen:
"Mr. Lu, let me tell you the truth, this industry is very deep, and if you don't understand it, it's best not to get involved.
We at Henglong are facing transformation, and we really have no choice but to take risks,"
He paused and added:
"Actually, I have paid attention to other pig companies before, such as Yunnan Agriculture Group, which is also good, but their cash transaction ratio is too high, and the time window is wrong at the critical moment of listing.
Wait for them? I can't wait."
Chen Xi was busy nearby and couldn't interrupt, so he could only wink at Zhao Chen.
But Zhao Chen didn't look at her at all.
Lu Shen sees all this.
Chen Xi's anxiety, Zhao Chen's "telling the truth after drinking", and the information that was inadvertently revealed--
Yunnan Agriculture Group, cash transaction ratio, listing window...
These are all facts.
Lu Shen's doubts have been dispelled a bit.
Zhao Chen really wants Eagle.
It's not acting.
It's serious.
Chen Guihong answered with a smile:
"Chairman Zhao is so optimistic about us Eagle, we are really flattered.
But Mr. Lu is also very sincere, and we really don't know who to favor."
Wu Fayi supports:
"Yes, yes, both of you are distinguished guests. How can we Eagle be so virtuous..."
Hou Dejian waved his hand:
"What's not easy to do? Fair competition! We will cooperate with whoever has better conditions.
Chairman Zhao, Mr. Lu, don't worry, we Eagle will definitely drink a bowl of water evenly."
He looked at Zhao Chen:
"Chairman Zhao, we will keep in mind what you just said. We will continue to talk tomorrow and try to finalize this matter."
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Okay. With Mr. Hou's words, I feel relieved."
He picked up the wine glass again and toasted Hou Dejian.
Lu Shen sat next to him, watching Zhao Chen and Hou Dejian change cups.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Fair competition?
This is what he needs.
As long as Zhao Chen really wants it, he won't let it go.
As for who wins in the end...
He knew it well.
The waiter brought another hot dish.
Wu Fayi announced loudly:
"The sea cucumber roasted with green onion is here! Chairman Zhao, Mr. Lu, try it!"
Hou Dejian raised his glass:
"Here, let's have a third glass of wine and wish us success in our negotiations tomorrow!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
Zhao Chen drank it all in one gulp, and when he put down the glass, he glanced at Lu Shen.
In that look, there was a hint of drunkenness, a smile, and something that only he knew.
Lu Shen also drank.
His eyes swept across Zhao Chen's face, and finally landed on Chen Xi's anxious face.
He smiled.
Zhao Chen people are anxious.
It means Zhao Chen really wants it.
Then he can't let go.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Chen was completely drunk, so Chen Xi said goodbye.
Zhao Chen walked out of the elevator with the support of Chen Xi.
His steps were a little frivolous, his body tilted slightly, one hand rested on Chen Xi's shoulder, and he was still mumbling something.
"Chairman Zhao walk slowly!" Wu Fayi chased after him with a smile on his face, "I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning!"
Zhao Chen waved his hand and responded vaguely:
"Okay... okay..."
Chen Xi, while supporting Zhao Chen, turned back and nodded to Wu Fayi:
"Director Wu Stay, we can just get in the car ourselves."
The car door opened, and Chen Xi carefully helped Zhao Chen into the back seat.
Zhao Chen leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes half closed, and he was still mumbling:
"Eagle... good project..."
The car door is closed.
The car slowly drove away from the hotel.
Wu Fayi stood at the door, watching the car disappear into the night, the smile on his lips deepened.
When we returned to the hotel and the door closed, Zhao Chen's eyes opened.
He stood up and the drunkenness on his face disappeared instantly.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment:
"Zhao Zong, you..."
Zhao Chen moved his neck:
"I've been acting all night and I'm exhausted."
Chen Xi couldn't help laughing:
"The way you acted just now, I almost believed it."
Zhao Chen walked to the sofa and sat down:
"If you believe it all, Lu Shen will believe it even more."
Chen Xi went to pour a glass of warm water, took out a pack of hangover tea from the bag, brewed it and brought it over:
"Zhao Zong, drink some hangover tea. Although you are not really drunk, you drank a lot."
Zhao Chen took the cup and took a sip.
The warm tea slid into my stomach, taking away the fatigue of the day.
He leaned on the sofa and looked at Chen Xi:
"You performed well tonight."
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment:
"Me?"
Zhao Chen nodded:
"The few interruptions you made were just right. You were anxious but didn't dare to really stop me, and your expression was spot on."
Chen Xi blinked:
"It seems that my acting skills are not good enough and I have been discovered!"
Zhao Chen laughed:
"You know our plan best. How can we be so anxious?"
Chen Xi thought about it and couldn't help laughing:
"You really hit the mark. I thought at the time that I had to show my anxiety, but I couldn't really stop you from talking."
Zhao Chen nodded:
"So I said you did a good job."
He paused:
"Lu Shen is the kind of person who likes to observe details. When he sees you anxious, he will believe what I say more."
Chen Xi thoughtfully:
"Then he should believe it today, right?"
Zhao Chen thought for a while:
"I believe 70% to 80% of it."
"Is there still a shortfall of two to three percent?"
"It depends on God's will!"
Chen Xi nodded and did not ask any more questions.
Zhao Chen After taking the last sip of hangover tea, he put the cup down.
He has tried his best. As for whether Lu Shen will be fooled, it really only depends on God's will.
