Chapter Twenty-Three: Negotiations
After the parties agreed, the negotiations officially began.
Chen Shi was the first to attack, he asked Jiang Shoudao: "You said that all the things within the rules can be settled, why should I believe you? You have to come up with a convincing reason, at least I want to know your identity and origin, otherwise how can I trust you when my eyes are black?"
Jiang Shou smiled silently, and Lawyer Liu next to him introduced: "Jiang Gongzi's identity is guaranteed by me, although I can't show it casually for the time being, but you can rest assured, everything you say can be done within ten days as long as the contract is signed." ”
This kind of thing of using people as a guarantee seems to be impeccable, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of flaws, Chen Shi will not believe a person for no reason, not to mention that this is a stranger, what reason does he use to believe it?
He shook his head and said, "I don't believe you, how can I trust the person you are a guarantor?" Since you want to eat meat, then show some sincerity, at least report yourself to your family first, at least let me know that you are a good citizen who abides by discipline in peace and security, otherwise we will not talk about anything." "Honesty is an important criterion for him to do business, if people can't be honest with each other, then only use each other, use each other for a while, but don't rely too much on this.
Lawyer Liu looked at Jiang Shou, it was obvious that he had no solution to this problem, so he had to wait for Jiang Shou's will, if Jiang Shou agreed, he could only tell his identity, otherwise even if someone pointed a gun at his head, he couldn't talk nonsense.
Jiang Shou thought for a moment and muttered, "Okay, but you have to keep it secret, and let your friends go out first." ”
Chen Shi nodded in agreement and asked Taozi and the others to go out and wait.
It wasn't until Tao Zi and the others left that Jiang Shou asked, "Are you the secretary of the county party committee?"
Chen Shi shook his head, he had never cared about this news, but at this time he had to wonder, could it be that the county party secretary's surname was Jiang?
Jiang Shou shook his head and said, "His surname is Peng, and he is my uncle." ”
Now Chen Shi is clear, no wonder Jiang Shou dares to pack the ticket, it turns out that the number one person in the county is his uncle, will he disagree with the slightest matter of looking for his uncle? Some people in the officialdom are easy to do, and it is not to blame Lawyer Liu for being a Jiang Gongzi on the left and a Jiang Gongzi on the right, and that is affectionate, like a pug.
"I see. Chen Shi nodded and said, "Since the number one leader is your uncle, then I don't have any worries, but there is another point I don't worry about." Of course, what he is not worried about is the source of Jiang Shou's funds, if it is embezzled funds, then he is equivalent to helping people launder money.
"You say. ”
Chen Shi didn't hide anything, and said directly: "The source of funds, let's not talk about the shares you are going to ask for, let's talk about whether the funds in your hands are clean? ”
When Chen Shi crossed over, the government was vigorously fighting tigers, and the newspapers reported on the Internet how many corruption cases were reported, and he was dazzled and heard that his ears were calloused, so he was very sensitive to this, and he was afraid that he would accidentally get on the road, and he would have to go to the dark with others in the future, which would be terrible, and he would have to go in sooner or later.
Jiang Shou's face changed, and he said with a straight face: "Who do you think of me? Let me tell you, although my family is in a high position, they never do anything wrong, every money in their hands is dignified, every point on their body is clean, and there will never be any filth." ”
Although he saw Jiang Shou angry, but hearing his words, Chen Shi was completely relieved, since it was an upright business, there was nothing to worry about, someone sent him money to spend, of course he was willing, and then it was time to talk about the actual problem, it was time to valuation.
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Don't be so angry, I'm just a nobody who has never seen the world, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and it is understandable to be cautious, since you are upright, then there is no need to be so angry, right?"
Jiang Shou's face slowly recovered, and he said after a long time: "Okay, it's understandable that you have the heart to guard against others, so what now? It's time to talk about valuation, right?"
Chen Shi nodded, and then asked Lawyer Liu, "How much does Lawyer Liu think my small restaurant can be worth?"
Lawyer Liu held his glasses, rolled his eyes, looked at Jiang Shou, and saw Jiang Shou nodding before saying: "To be honest, I am not optimistic about this small restaurant, although it seems that the business is booming now, but the hidden dangers in management are too big, and it is chaotic, if there is a competitive partner, I guarantee that you will be able to close it in less than a month." ”
Although he thinks that he is not a capable person in management and does not know much about modern management, he does not think that his restaurant is chaotic, otherwise how to explain the boom in business these days?
Lawyer Liu continued: "However, there are still many things to be affirmed in this restaurant, first of all, it is good in terms of innovation, although you sell common meals, but you make fast food is a big innovation, you can see that you are imitating KFC and McDonald's, but this also has a very big concern, because you have not directly faced the impact of KFC, if KFC and McDonald's are stationed in the county, you will go bankrupt in front of you." ”
Chen Shi still agrees with this, but they only see the present, but they do not see the future. Chen Shi knows that in later generations, there are many Chinese fast food restaurants that directly clash with Western fast food restaurants, and the business is not bad, and now Chen Shi has not become bigger, and when he has the ability to face the impact of Western fast food restaurants one day, it will not be difficult to drive McDonald's out of China.
"So, all things considered, we are now giving an estimate of one million. ”
One million is an astronomical number, at least for Chen Shi at the moment, it is an unattainable goal. When he heard that his restaurant was worth a million, he jumped up and asked in amazement, "What? What did you say?"
Lawyer Liu also thought that his offer was low, so he angered Chen Shi, and said with a bitter face: "Mr. Chen, one million is not low, but it is not without room for negotiation." ”
Hearing this, Chen Shi couldn't hide his surprise, but he was afraid of being seen, so he deliberately turned around to avoid the eyes of Jiang Shou and Lawyer Liu. He didn't think that the other party could offer this price, but since they said that there was still room for negotiation, then it meant that the price in their hearts must be more than one million, maybe ten million.
After a long time, Chen Shi hid the happy expression on his face, and then turned around and said coldly with a calm face: "This price is too insincere, Jiang Gongzi, I think you should order it directly, I don't like people beating around the bush the most, you say a number, I think it's appropriate, let's continue to talk, I don't think it's okay, then you can go back wherever you come from, just treat it as if you haven't seen it, how about it?"
Lawyer Liu's face was ugly, and although Jiang Shou kept a smile on his face, his eyes were a little scattered, and he didn't know what he was thinking? Seeing this, Chen Shi asked again: "Do you want to discuss it?" I can go out and wait for a while, just at this time, I am in a hurry. ”
Before he finished speaking, he pulled his legs and walked out, taking Lawyer Liu and the house.
As soon as they went out, Tao Zi and others came up to ask questions, but Chen Shi didn't answer a word, but said to them solemnly: "Which of you has good ears, stick it on the wall and listen, but don't be discovered, I'll go to the toilet first." ”
Junzi Mao recommended himself, and Chen Shi asked him to lean against the door and listen carefully to what was said inside, but don't be discovered by the other party, otherwise it will be difficult to negotiate next.
Junzi patted his chest and promised, and then he asked Taozi and others to help, some people sentry, some people eavesdropping.
After returning from the toilet, Chen Shi saw that Junzi was still listening against the wall, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Toshiko shook his head and said, "They spoke too quietly, I only heard what was high and what was low, and then what was said to be ten thousand, one of them seemed to be surprised, as if he said a thousand and five, and the others didn't hear anything." ”
Fifteen thousand? Chen Shi was extremely excited in his heart, could it be that this store was really worth 10 million? Not only was he a little suspicious, maybe he had heard it wrong? Junzi didn't hear the useful information, he was a little depressed, Chen Shi comforted: "It's okay, don't continue listening, I'll go in now, you guys are optimistic about this place, don't let other people disturb you." ”
Everyone nodded and patted their chests to assure, Chen Shi pushed the door and went in to see that Jiang Shou and Lawyer Liu seemed to have negotiated, the two did not get together, but the same as when Chen Shi left before, Jiang Shou sat on the chair next to him, crossed Erlang's legs, and Lawyer Liu sat at the table, holding a pen in one hand and glasses in the other.
Chen Shi asked: "How are the talks?" ”
Jiang Shou and Lawyer Liu looked at each other, made eye contact, and then Lawyer Liu said, "We have already discussed, just wait for Boss Chen." ”
Chen Shi smiled and asked, "Okay, then Lawyer Liu, please speak." ”
Lawyer Liu said: "We want to know how many shares Boss Chen is going to give up? Of course, the situation that I said before that you have a controlling stake remains unchanged. ”
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Of course, I don't want to give up the shares at all, but I'm short of money now, and I want to use some cash, so the less the better, of course, the more money, the better." He was reluctant to give up the shares, and at the same time asked for money, so that he had to get both fish and bear's paws, which made Lawyer Liu very unhappy, thinking that he was an insatiable person.
Lawyer Liu said: "What do you think about giving up 20% of the shares?"
The two achievements are 20 percent, and Chen Shi estimates that if it is worth 10 million, then Jiang Shou will give him 2 million in cash for 20 percent of the shares, which he can hardly believe and imagine. But he still pretended to be thoughtful and said, "Twenty percent? It's a little more, but it depends on how much money you can give?"
Lawyer Liu and Jiang Shou exchanged colors again, and the two seemed to have succeeded in their plan. Lawyer Liu said: "Twenty percent is not too much, you still have eighty percent of the shares in your hand, complete control, and now even if others want to meddle in the management, there is no way." ”
Chen Shi nodded, smiled slightly, and then pretended to be reluctant and said: "Since this is the case, then let's do it, but you have to give more money, and you have to add one, if you want to invest more in the future, it is not possible without my permission, otherwise you are many and powerful, and the capital is abundant, won't I be slowly driven away by you?"
"That's fine, but we have the right of first refusal. Lawyer Liu said. He blurted out, and Chen Shi knew at a glance that they had already thought about it before.
Chen Shi said: "Okay, then it's time to talk about valuation! My husband said okay, if I am not satisfied with the price you offered, then we will not have seen it when I go out of this door, and there will be no second cooperation in the future, you think clearly before you talk." ”
He deliberately asked them to think clearly, on the surface, he was making people cautious, but in fact, he asked them to pay more money. Lawyer Liu said: "We have thought very clearly, the price is 10 million, if you don't agree, then we will go out immediately, and we will definitely not embarrass you." ”
