At first, Mu Xuncheng didn't know about Ling's new movements, and even except for Lawyer Yan, no one actually knew about this matter at all.

Ling Jiacheng was very secretive, and when there was no clue about what was going on, he wanted everything to be done in secret.

Therefore, when he first went abroad to negotiate with Reddy, he only told Ling Fei'er and a few high-level leaders of the Ling family.

Ling Jiacheng traveled thousands of miles to the United States and came to Reddy's.

In fact, before this, Mr. Yan had already greeted Reddy's senior management.

Mr. Yan and Tom, who is in charge of the investment project, said this in advance, and Tom is an authentic American with a unique American humor and enthusiasm.

But at work, he is also very rigorous.

He looked at Lawyer Yan with some seriousness and said, "Yan, you know, we are very cautious in choosing investment targets, and this project is only in the planning stage. ”

"I'm sorry, Tom, I know the principles of your work, this time, I really didn't think about it, but the Ling family does have a good influence in the country, you don't let him get in touch, maybe it's just right."

"However, you are not in line with normal procedures." Tom said with a frown.

"Hehe, I never knew, Brother Tom, that you were a well-behaved person." Lawyer Yan smiled and patted Tom on the shoulder.

"I've been working with our company for so long, so I'm still going to give me this face, Tom."

Tom didn't speak again, he thought about it, and said a little helplessly: "Okay, then I'll just see this Ling Jiacheng first, but explain in advance that we are just meeting once." ”

Lawyer Yan nodded: "Of course." ”

He secretly thought in his heart, as long as you meet and the rest of the things have nothing to do with me, I will be considered a successful retirement.

Therefore, after getting the consent of Reddy's senior management, Ling Jiacheng flew to the United States as soon as possible.

Ling Jiacheng and Reddy's first meeting was also informal.

He and Tom met at a fancy restaurant.

When Tom met Ling Jiacheng, he didn't show the usual enthusiasm.

He looked at Ling Jiacheng with some arrogance, and Lawyer Yan introduced on the side: "Tom, this is Ling Jiacheng, the person in charge of the Ling family, Jiacheng, this is Mr. Tom who is Reddy's in charge of the investment department." ”

"Oh, hello Mr. Tom." Ling Jiacheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook Tom's hand, but Tom's performance was very flat.

"Hello, Mr. Ling."

After the three of them sat down, Lawyer Yan looked at the time and said, "This is just now, even if my task is completed, the next thing is the two of you, I still have some things, so I won't accompany you, and the two of you will talk slowly." ”

Ling Jiacheng nodded: "Then you can go and get busy with you, thank you." ”

Tom just nodded slightly.

Lawyer Yan slandered in his heart: "Yankee, you can really pretend." ”

After Lawyer Yan left, facing Tom with an arrogant expression, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but this did not mean that Ling Jiacheng, what kind of scene he had not seen.

Tom wasn't the first time he'd seen someone who reacted this way.

He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Tom, this meeting is really a bit presumptuous, please forgive me." ”

"You know, it's not in line with the rules that you're doing this." Tom was not polite, and followed Ling Jiacheng's words, and continued to speak.

The Ling family has come to this point, and there are very few people who can talk to him so unceremoniously, but he didn't lose his temper at all in the face of Tom.

"I'm really sorry, but I actually came with sincerity, otherwise I wouldn't have put down a lot of work in the company and came to the United States."

Ling Jiacheng looked at Tom sincerely and said.

Seeing Ling Jiacheng's attitude, Tom didn't want to make a fuss about this matter anymore.

He softened down a little and said to Ling Jiacheng: "Yan mentioned you to me, are you here to seek investment?" ”

"Actually, that's not accurate." Ling Jiacheng looked at Tom and said.

"It's not so much about seeking investment as it is about seeking cooperation."

"I know that Reddy's is interested in expanding its business in China, but we all know that the domestic market in China is not so easy to get involved in, so I think Reddy's also hopes to have a good springboard."

Tom didn't speak, he didn't have any expression, and he wouldn't react until the other man showed his weights.

Ling Jiacheng continued: "If Reddy's can choose to cooperate with our Ling family, then it will be a good thing for both of us, our Ling family, in terms of status and influence, is first-class in China. ”

"I'm sorry." Tom interrupted Ling and said, "I don't know much about the Chinese market, but I seem to hear more about Mushi in the United States. ”

"Mushi." Ling Jiacheng was stunned, how could it be the Mu family again, no matter where he went, the Mu family would not be gone?

However, he quickly retracted his emotions and said to Tom with a smile: "If you often hear about Mushi, then you should know that Mushi is now cooperating with new energy, of course, not in the form of investment, but in the form of projects. ”

Reddy's and New Energy are indeed two rival companies, and they have intersections and competition in many industries.

Sure enough, hearing the name of the new energy, Tom's brow furrowed slightly.

"New energy?"

Tom repeated.

"That's right, new energy, new energy has entered the Chinese market a few years ago, hasn't the United States received this news?"

Ling Jiacheng looked at Tom and asked.

Tom didn't answer Ling Jiacheng's question directly, but his expression was much more real than just now.

"You go on."

He said to Ling Jiacheng.

Ling Jiacheng didn't know if what he was referring to was the matter of new energy, or the topic he had just talked about.

So he went on with his train of thought.

"I came this time with 12 points of sincerity, if your company really wants to find an investment target in China, then I hope that you can give priority to our Ling family."

Ling Jiacheng said, took out a stack of documents from his bag, put them on the table, and pushed them in front of Tom.

"These are some of the information of our company, I hope Mr. Tom can take a look at it when he has time, of course, we are not begging you to consider me, but from the comprehensive consideration, I am confident that our Ling family is the best candidate."

Tom touched the thick stack of papers on the table, but didn't open it. He just glanced at the documents, and nodded: "Okay, I'll think about it, but I hope you can understand a little, maybe, the result is not what you expected." ”

Ling Jiacheng laughed loudly: "This, of course I know, I came this time, not to seek a possibility and an opportunity, cooperation is two-sided, and it is only through contact that we know whether it is suitable or not, are you right, Mr. Tom." ”

Tom nodded, "It's best if you think so." I came to see you this time, it is also completely because of strict reasons, and I think, it is better not to leak this matter, our planning has not been completely completed, and if the news leaks out at this time, it will be very unfavorable to our next work. ”

"Of course, I know this, so I won't find so many competitors for myself." Ling Jiacheng said with a smile.

"That's good, if it's okay, let's get here today, I'll go back and seriously consider your proposal."

Tom stood up as he spoke, not giving the Ling family any room to stay.

"Okay, I'll be in the U.S. for the next few days, and if Mr. Tom has any questions about the documents, feel free to come to me."

Ling Jiacheng took out a business card and handed it to Tom.

Tom didn't even look at it, and just put it in his bag.

Ling Jiacheng's eyebrows jumped, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and watched Tom leave.

After Tom left, Ling Jiacheng slammed his fist on the table.

He had thought of today's situation before he came, but when he saw Tom like this, he still felt uneasy.

However, for the sake of the Ling clan, he had to endure it.

In the next few days, Ling Jiacheng did not return to China, he waited in the United States, during which he met with Lawyer Yan again, but never met Tom again. And his documents were like a stone in the sea, and there was no more news.

Ling Fei'er once called him to ask about the news here, and Ling Jiacheng told her that the situation was not optimistic.

Ling Fei'er sighed and told Ling Jiacheng that the domestic form was not good, and after Ling Jiacheng left, Ling Fei'er was also encouraged to support herself.

In the days when the Ling family was away, Ling Fei'er managed the Ling family by herself, and she didn't have time to take care of the Wanjia sisters.

Ling Fei'er was still a little worried, because last time she found out that the sisters of the Wan family were secretly buying the shares of Genesis behind their backs.

Although Ling Fei'er said that it was not a pity to sacrifice the creation, it did not mean that she was willing to give away her company.

But the affairs of the Ling family have been tethering her, making her a little overwhelmed.

She asked with some dissatisfaction, "Brother, when are you coming back?" ”

Ling Jiacheng stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows: "I can't say, there has been no news from Reddy's side, I have to wait." ”

"But, I have a lot of things going on here, so you can't just leave it alone." Ling Fei'er said urgently.

"Fei'er, I'm sure you're completely capable of handling these things alone." Ling Jiacheng said in a deep voice.

"But I'm afraid of ...... over there."

"Don't worry about the creation of the world for now, if this thing doesn't succeed, even the Ling clan will be gone, why are you still worried about that insignificant small company." Ling Jiacheng yelled impatiently.

Ling Fei'er was stunned by his yelling, and didn't speak for a while.

Ling Jiacheng may also realize that his attitude is a little bad, and said softly: "You take care of the affairs at home, I will go back soon, obedient." ”

Ling Fei'er answered sullenly and hung up the phone.
