Chapter 444: 444 The Sudden Confession 1
seizing the opportunity, he said, “It’s quite simple, allow Fruit Company to buy into Mr. Jiang’s Mei Zhu Company.
Not much, just 10% of the shares will do.
And sign another agreement that for the next ten years you won’t invest in any field related to mobile phones.
If Mr. Jiang agrees, then I can guarantee that within five years, you could become the richest man in the world…”
Towards the end, Qiao Buwu’s voice even had a hint of bewitchment. To tell the truth, even Jiang Xu was incredibly moved for a moment. The Fruit Company’s attack with its massive patent, in a normal market valuation, would start at at least ten billion a year.
With these patents, it would be no problem to earn a hundred billion in ten years.
He did not suppress the greed in his heart, instead letting it spread and be seen by Qiao Buwu.
He felt greatly reassured, believing that he now had it in the bag.
Jiang Xu’s expression constantly shifted, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “This matter is too significant, I can’t decide on my own.
Give me a week’s time.
I need to consider carefully and conduct various research.”
Qiao Buwu frowned slightly.
A week was too long.
But before he could speak, Jiang Xu continued, “Mr. Qiao can go sightseeing, after all, this is not a small matter.
No matter how fast, it’s impossible to decide in just a day or two, wouldn’t you agree?”
Qiao Buwu thought about it and agreed.
If Jiang Xu had agreed so readily, it would have caused him to doubt his sincerity.
He nodded and consented.
After Qiao Buwu and his secretary left the company, he instructed the secretary that they could call over the company’s team.
He was the vanguard this time, coming over to negotiate with Jiang Xu first. In his opinion, Jiang Xu couldn’t possibly refuse such a substantial offer. What Qiao Buwu didn’t know was that as soon as he left, Jiang Xu’s expression turned gloomy.
Naturally, Jiang Xu couldn’t agree.
Saying a week was just a tactical delay.
This time would allow Qiao Buwu to lower his guard and give more space for development.
More than ten minutes later, Bai Xiaoya called. She and several weighty elders from the Bai Family were already on their way.
Jiang Xu had someone clean the reception room and prepare tea and snacks in advance.
Then he waited at the main entrance personally.
Before long, he saw a luxurious motorcade drive up.
Dressed in a professional suit, showing her efficiency, Bai Xiaoya was the first to step out.
Then came several calm and restrained old men in their fifties or sixties.
Jiang Xu had done his homework.
He knew that these old men were some of the highest-ranking members of the Bai Family.
He smiled and went up to greet them.
After some pleasantries, Jiang Xu led them into the reception room.
Without much ado, they went straight to the point.
Jiang Xu had three conditions.
First, to open at least fifteen hundred stores nationwide.
Second, he wanted 50% of the profits.
Third, to grant Bai Xiaoya a certain number of shares, with her being the decision maker.
Upon hearing the third condition, Bai Xiaoya felt both elation and confusion.
She was happy because Jiang Xu was being considerate.
The confusion was about why Jiang Xu would secure such a significant interest for her, could it be he had taken a fancy to her?
Was he using this favor to win her over?
At that thought, Bai Xiaoya became excited, feeling as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
If Jiang Xu really made some excessive demands later.
She wondered whether to accept or reject him.
Oh my, how embarrassing.
If Jiang Xu knew what was on her mind, he would probably roll his eyes.
Sister, you’re overthinking it.
The reason for adding this requirement is to avoid any disagreements in the upcoming cooperation.
Jiang Xu just wants to earn money steadily and safely.
If the decision-maker keeps changing, it will inevitably cause significant impact.
Besides, it’s also a way of repaying Bai Xiaoya for her earlier help.
Jiang Xu has always been someone who returns the favor with equal kindness.
The old men of the Bai Family huddled together and discussed in low voices.
In the end, they unanimously approved the decision.
The contract was drawn up on the spot and signed.
The Bai Family would invest a total of eight billion in three phases.
In the shortest time possible, branded stores would be opened all across the country.
The resources, energy, and connections of the Bai Family are still very strong. After signing the contract, they promised Jiang Xu that at least five hundred stores could be opened within two months.
Because the Bai Family has a large number of shops and properties for rent all over the country.
They just need to reclaim them and refurbish them before they can be put into use.
Additionally, the Bai Family will also take care of the promotion of the stores.
This wave is truly a powerful alliance.
Bai Xiaoya was in high spirits.
After facilitating this cooperation, her status within the family soared drastically.
After seeing off the elders, she came back.
She jumped up and patted Jiang Xu on the shoulder, “Junior, I can’t thank you
enough for helping me avert a big crisis.”
“Oh?” Jiang Xu was taken aback, “What do you mean, senior sister? I don’t quite understand.”
“What else could it be.” Bai Xiaoya sighed, “In a big family like ours, women of
my age have to consider marriage alliances.
In fact, the family had already asked me to choose among several peers.
But luckily, now I don’t have to.”
“Because of you, at least until I’m thirty, the family won’t force me to marry.”
Jiang Xu suddenly understood.
So that was it.
He thought to himself that he would never force his daughter or granddaughter to marry someone in the future.
“Let’s have dinner with Nuonuo tonight, I’ll treat you.”
“Let’s do it in a few days,” Jiang Xu shook his head. “I still have some matters to deal with first.”
“All right,” Bai Xiaoya pouted, “then I’ll be going first.”
Okay, sister Xiaoya, take care.”
Bai Xiaoya’s high heels clacked against the ground, producing a string of crisp sounds.
She wore stockings with letters on them, boasting long and straight legs.
Her walk even carried a fragrant breeze with it.
It made one involuntarily think of certain dramatic films.
After walking about ten meters, Bai Xiaoya suddenly stopped.
She turned around and ran back to Jiang Xu.
As she ran, her wavy long hair fluttered in the air.
A youthful and reckless aura rushed forward.
Jiang Xu was astonished, “Sister Xiaoya, is there something else?”
Bai Xiaoya ran up to Jiang Xu, slightly out of breath.
Her face was flushed from the quick run.
“Whew!”
Bai Xiaoya took a deep breath, her expression solemn and serious as she looked
at Jiang Xu, “Junior, I like you, I really do, like a lot!
Even more than when I liked Li Yuhui back then!”
“What?” Jiang Xu was stunned on the spot, “Sister Xiaoya, stop joking around,
this joke isn’t funny at all.”
The sudden confession caught him completely off guard.
Three questions involuntarily popped up in his mind: Who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do?
