Chapter 215: Reason
In the evening, Chen Shi received a call from Lu Linlin, saying that he was going to invite him to dinner, which was completely unexpected by him, it is estimated that not only Lu Linlin invited him, there should be other people, Lu Linlin is just an intermediary, she doesn't seem to have much say in the Lu family.
The threat failed, and now the olive branch is going to be extended again, the people of the Lu family are really calculating, but they didn't think that Chen Shi is a person who eats soft or hard, and his self-esteem is extremely strong, and the decision he made will definitely not change.
Now, does the Lu family want to continue to persuade Chen Shi to go public? Or is it not ready to withdraw and listen to Chen Shi's opinion?
Chen Shi didn't know, he drove to the meeting alone, and when he arrived at the location, there was a special parking person responsible for parking his car in the parking lot, and there were already people waiting to receive him.
Guided by a waiter, he walked into the five-star hotel where he met.
Five-star hotels are like that, Chen Shi no longer has the kind of surprise and fuss before, no matter how luxurious the decoration is, he will not take a second look, because these are just face decorations, and there is not much difference compared with express hotels, the only difference may be the service conditions inside.
Chen Shi doesn't like this kind of high-ranking place that thinks he is of a relatively high grade, he likes a place with a lot of people, a place where everyone can go, and a place where ordinary people can move, as for this kind of place where high-ranking nobles are active, he thinks that it is not a place where he should come, he and they are definitely not the same kind of people.
However, he still came, because Lu Linlin called in person, and because Lu Linlin had taken care of him, because he and Lu Linlin were also friends.
After entering the private room, Chen Shi saw two people with Lu Linlin, one was Lu Hou, who was arrogant before, and the other was an older person, almost fifty or sixty old people, estimated to be Lu Linlin's elders.
Lu Linlin took the initiative to introduce: "This is my uncle. ”
Chen Shi nodded, said hello, and then took a seat. Lu Linlin's uncle only nodded slightly, glanced at Chen Shi, and then did not speak, Lu Hou sat aside with his head down, and did not look at Chen Shi.
After the waiter went out, Lu Linlin said, "I invite Xiao Chen here today, because I want to discuss some things with you, and my uncle has something to say to you." ”
Chen Shi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, "Okay! ”
Chen Shi could probably guess the purpose of the Lu family's invitation to come, so he was not so curious, but asked lightly.
Lu Linlin's uncle's face was not very good, mainly because Chen Shi didn't give him enough respect, he was a person with face and pomp, and he deigned to invite Chen Shi today to give enough face, but Chen Shi was so casual in front of him, which made him feel humiliated.
He snorted coldly and said: "Young people should be low-key, how good it is to be honest, if a person is too arrogant, he will definitely not end well." ”
What he said was so weird that Chen Shi was very uncomfortable to hear, if it weren't for Lu Linlin's presence, he would definitely have walked away.
He looked at Lu Linlin's uncle coldly and said, "Can you still be a young man without being high-profile?" I'm afraid only an old man will do things in a low-key manner. ”
When Lu Linlin heard this, she immediately knew that it was not good, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Xiao Chen, don't be angry, my uncle has no other meaning." ”
Chen Shi didn't answer, but Lu Linlin's uncle snorted coldly and said: "It was our investment that allowed you to enter Lincheng so easily, and it was we who helped you to let you gain a foothold in People's Square, if not, you are still staying in that small place in Wei County, when will you have such a scenery?
When Chen Shi heard this, he was almost angry to death, what was this Lu Linlin's uncle thinking in his head? What kind of logic is this?
He replied with a sneer: "What kind of kindness? There has never been such a thing as kindness in the business field, only contracts, only integrity, I have never broken my promise, and I have never promised you to go public, it is you who seek to go public, what does it have to do with me? ”
Lu Linlin persuaded on the side: "We don't have the intention of meddling in the management right, but we can cash out after listing, and the market can expand the number in an instant, which is a good thing, we are afraid that you don't understand the listing, don't understand the listing, so we invite you to come over and tell you about the benefits after listing, you must know that most of the world's top 500 companies are listed companies now, and there will be more capital to develop after listing, so that the speed of expansion will be greatly increased, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Chen Shidao: "Sister Lu, I understand the benefits of listing, and you don't need to give me popular science, but you may not have thought about the disadvantages of listing, our supermarket is still a small company, if it is listed, it will definitely be understood by other retailers, and then people will deal with me, it is very easy, all information must be disclosed after listing, and even the direction of development will be understood, which is unacceptable to me, therefore, you should not persuade it, there is no need to talk about listing." ”
Lu Linlin sighed, then looked at her uncle, who said: "Short-sighted, only see the immediate benefits, not the long-term, you don't want to think about how many opportunities for expansion there will be after going public? When the time comes, if you don't become bigger, you will make countless times more money than now, how can you not understand such a simple truth? Ignorant, which big company does not seek to go public now? This is borrowing other people's chickens to lay their own eggs, such a good thing, don't you understand?" I think you'd better go back and read some books before you come out and mingle. ”
Chen Shi stood up angrily and said word by word: "I haven't read many books, I don't understand your set, it's really short-sighted, but why do you want to invest in me? Isn't it because I have development potential? Since you trusted me at the beginning, then you should still trust me in the future, besides, I didn't do anything to make you lose, the development of the supermarket has been very healthy, has been very rapid, so you are not satisfied, you actually want to go to the stock market to make money, and you are not afraid of making money and not falling into the water?"
Lu Hou, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "I didn't trust you at the beginning, the reason why I invested in you at the beginning wanted you to expand quickly, and then go public to make money, this is something that every capitalist understands, we didn't think that you didn't understand anything, and you didn't even dare to go public to make a fortune, I really don't know why you had the courage to break into the business world in the first place." ”
Chen Shi was even more angry, he thought that others were optimistic about him before investing, but now people actually told him that he had never been optimistic about him, and the reason why he invested in him was just to make a fortune, which really hit him hard.
He said: "Okay, since you have never trusted me, never looked down on me, then let's get together and disperse, you withdraw your investment, we will not enter the river water, everyone will go their own way, and it will never be related." ”
Lu Linlin's uncle slapped the table and said, "If you say that you will withdraw your investment, you will withdraw your investment?"
Chen Shi suddenly laughed and said, "Don't withdraw your investment? Who said you want to withdraw during the day? Is it just a casual talk? Or do you want to scare me?"
Lu Hou's face turned red, he really wanted to scare Chen Shi, but he didn't expect Chen Shi to be so hard-mouthed and tough, and he would rather withdraw his capital than go public. You know, now a supermarket is in the stage of rapid development, if it is withdrawn, it will definitely affect the speed of development, and even a lot of the places that have been laid out have to give up, which means that the work done before is in vain, he thought about it before he came, he thought that Chen Shi must not want to give up the opportunity to expand, but what he didn't expect was that Chen Shi's choice was so unexpected.
Uncle Lu Linlin glanced at Lu Hou, and then said with a calm face: "I didn't reach a contract before, of course it doesn't count, it's just an idea, don't you even let people say your thoughts?"
Chen Shi sneered and said: "That's a threat, I've never been afraid of others threatening me, if you don't believe it, just come, I'll say it now, I will definitely not go public, and if you want to withdraw your investment, hurry up." ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Shi turned around and opened the door and left, Lu Linlin and the others in the room looked at each other, no one spoke, they didn't know what to say, and the countermeasures that were clearly discussed had no effect, so they were speechless.
After a long time, Lu Linlin said: "Okay, now the situation is like this, uncle, what do you think should be done? ”
Uncle Lu Linlin sighed and said: "Forget it, I didn't look at that money, but you still find an opportunity to remind him, so as not to catch him off guard at that time, now he is really very motivated, let's gamble, we can afford to lose." ”
Lu Hou sighed slightly: "I don't believe he can survive, I don't think he's optimistic about him, because he is facing one of the world's top 500 companies, relying on his tricks, he can't survive at all, and he will definitely die quickly." ”
Uncle Lu Linlin said: "This kid is young and vigorous, maybe he will create a miracle, let him break through, if we lose, we should lose tens of millions of dollars, if we win, our shares will skyrocket instantly, and we will make a lot of profits." ”
Lu Linlin said: "If we lose these tens of millions, we won't withdraw the investment, let him solve it himself, and I'll find a time to notify him another day." ”
