Chapter 147 - Step 3 (VII)
After explaining the whole idea about the new ArtWorld, the three men were full of questions.
Even though they felt that ArtWorld was really a good project and it would be a waste to not use it, they were still not convinced that it could be built. Especially under another company? If Xiong Empire could not do it, then who could?
"Which company took over the ArtWorld?"
Yi An asked. He thought that whoever took that project must be insane.
"IHZHI. It is my friend\'s company. I assure you this company will really make ArtWorld a reality." Xiong Zhi said with conviction. She wanted to really change the fate of the ArtWorld. She felt like once she changes its fate, she could change her\'s as well.
Linfeng glanced at Xiong Zhi. He was thinking which friend was that. He was surprised that the IHZHI that was catching up with SC has connections to Xiong Zhi. Now he was curious, who was that friend that managed to achieve such a feat in a short amount of time.
"I haven\'t heard of that company. No offense to your friend, but do you think a mediocre company that even the Xiong Empire could only give up on, managed to do well? If so, how they will do that?" Er Bing asked. All he said was true.
"Mr. Er Bing has a good reputation among the investment company. I\'m sure with just a couple of days of investigating the company, you will surely trust IHZHI. They had never taken a project that become a failure. "Xiong Zhi said calmly.
" Even that company hasn\'t failed before doesn\'t mean they would not fail this time.?Just a bit of history and a couple of words would not make us invest in ArtWorld." San Chin said bluntly.
Xiong Zhi looked at him.
"Then what makes you invest in ArtWorld?" She asked. Her facade was slowly disappearing.
"There\'s no amount for that. As young miss said before, we are known among investors for some reason. We value our reputation too much. We will not take up the ArtWorld that is bound to fail." San Chin was resolute.
"You can\'t be absolute that ArtWorld is going to fail. How about give it a chance. One month, just give it a chance for a month." Xiong Zhi said.
"Can you build ArtWorld in a month? If not so, then are you telling me to waste one month of our income? Do you know how much that one month cost? There\'s no benefit for us young miss. You better give up the ArtWorld." San Chin was a stubborn man.
Xiong Zhi was silent. She could not offer money as she did to Liu Fung. These three men have a great reputation because of this reason. Aside from they are filthy rich, they value their name too much. And threatening was out of option. If she threatened these people, she was afraid it would back fire
It\'s a good thing that SC already baited them. So they could not pull away from ArtWorld easily. Even though she could not convince them to stay, they could not back away from ArtWorld if she used those ghost projects from SC. She just needs time to at least made them invest for a half month. These three men would surely found something amiss in those projects from SC in half a month. After they discover that, Xiong Zhi would use the Xiong Empire\'s name to a found fault with them and pressure them to continue investing for some time. Making them stay for another half a month while looking for other projects to invest as an excuse to the Xiong Empire.
That\'s the initial plan. But Xiong Zhi has a favorable impression of SC. Even though Linfeng comforted her that SC could take a blow, she wouldn\'t want that. If IHZHI was in SC\'s place she would not agree to it. Especially, both of their company was just new and they are still in the process of building more power. It\'s a crucial time for them. SC\'s enemy could use these three men against SC in the future.
In short, SC\'s enemy, which was Guan Gao Huan, could take these three people in their side. Guan Gaon Huan would get three capable allies.
Xiong Zhi doesn\'t want that. She wanted to cut Guan Gao Huan to pieces if given a chance.
Secondly, she had a good impression of San Chin. She liked to rope this man on her side.
And third, she would build ArtWorld, she needed these investors\' support and money.
It would be hard to look for another investor who could invest 20% in place of these three men.
Linfeng went nearer to her as she falls into deep thought.
"Do you want me to help?" He whispered to her.
She shook her head.
"It\'s fine. It\'s my trial. I\'ll finish it." She whispered back.
"Gentlemen, have you ever heard about IAmFashionista?" Xiong Zhi asked out of nowhere.
The three men were stunned and look at each other. Wondering why the young miss asked this out of the blue. And what is the connection?
"Of course. Even we are not qualified to attend IAmFashjonista, we are quite knowledgeable about it. " Yi An said.
"It is every businessmen dream to attend the event. All legendary figures all over the world attend this event. However, not everyone could attend. The seats were limited so the people at the top fight over for just one seat." Er Bing added.
"It will cost us our whole fortune to just attend the event. But even if we do that, I\'m embarrassed to say this, but we can\'t still manage to get a seat. A lot of people are willing to exchange their whole fortune to get a seat. The price will get higher and higher. Making it more impossible for us to get a seat." San Chin explained as well.
"True. Only the best of the best and the wealthiest could only get a seat." Xiong Zhi agrees with them as well.
"Then do you think those who could attend have much power and resources?" She asked.
"Of course, young miss. How could they possibly get a seat if not because of that? Even the assistant of a person in that event was a great figure that we can not afford to offend." Yi An said.
Xiong Zhi and the rest nodded.
"Then, what if I tell you that the IHZHI who took over ArtWorld is invited to that event? Where only the mightiest and the greatest gather?" Xiong Zhi said.
The three men and Linfeng could not help but stare at her with a stunned expression.
"That\'s!.." Er Bing exclaimed. He could not finish his sentence as he was speechless. He could not believe it. But seeing the serious and confident face of Xiong Zhi he shut up.
"Impossible! A company that is only a year old could not possibly be invited. " San Chin exclaimed.
Even the person has great influence and money, they could not be invited without a huge cost. A lot of people had influence and money fighting for a seat. There\'s a lot of competition. It was impossible for IHZHI, even with connections, to gain a seat in the event.
"But IHZHI got invited. Not only as a guest. But as a VIP." Xiong Zhi adds another bomb.
The four men including Linfeng sucked in a deep breath.
"How! How that\'s possible!" Yi An said with round eyes. It was really impossible. They only have heard IHZHI today, and that said company was a VIP in IAmFashionista? What kind of connection they have? No. Even they have connections, they should have money, influence, and great feats to be recognized.
And a year-old company could not possibly achieve that.
"That\'s why I told you, that with your power you will be able to investigate IHZHI. See it for yourself their achievement this year. If IHZHI, who is only a year old manage to achieve this feat, what more in the future? I could not imagine how great this company will run in the future." Xiong Zhi said. Her voice has a trace of proudness and confidence.
The men at the table were silent. They could not believe it. But it came out in the young miss of Xiong\'s mouth.
"And while it is still green, do you think, you as an investor, should build a connection to this company right? If a year gone passed, maybe IHZHI\'s caliber is something you cannot manage to reach. It would be a waste to miss this boat. What do you say?"
The three men looked at each other. They fell into contemplation.
If what the young miss said is true, then it would be a waste to not build a connection to this company. If IHZHI is really invited to IAmFashionista, it means this company has a great future ahead.
And maybe the seemingly impossible ArtWorld could be built in IHZHI\'s hands. Adding a great feat to their achievements.
And maybe that\'s the reason why IHZHI took ArtWorld. To show the world they could manage what the Xiong Empire could not manage.
It\'s no doubt for these investors that they would not waste this opportunity.
"You might not believe me, but I assure you in my surname, Xiong, that the money you would invest in ArtWorld would not be in vain. I understand that you will not take a risk with a company that just started. However, if you do. And if it becomes a success, you will be known as the great investors who invest in the seemingly impossible ArtWorld and make it happen.
" I know it is the biggest risk you will take, but can you help me, together with IHZHI, to achieve this miracle?"
