Chapter 787 The Taker

Chapter 787 The Taker

Now that the leader has spoken, everyone can only keep their anger to themselves.

However, the people from Huaxing Group still insisted on their own ideas.

After all, they feel that they have to pay so much money, so it is natural for them to take the lion's share.

However, no matter how much they argued, none of them proposed to reduce the supply and marketing cooperative's shares, and Fan Hongyuan turned a blind eye.

Because Chen Xi separated and operated his business independently in this life, Huaxing Group did not suppress his shares too hard. Instead, it joined forces with Duan Yixiong to suppress Feng Yun and Wang Zhi.

How could Chen Xi not know this method of dividing three people?
In order to get the three of them to hold each other tightly together, Chen Xi also joined the battle.

Fan Hongyuan was like a middleman, helping to say a word here and comforting the other side.

The meeting lasted until around seven in the evening before it ended hastily.

I guess if everyone wasn’t hungry, they wouldn’t have stopped.

It was impossible for them to sit together for dinner in the evening. Wang Zhi made an appointment with Fan Hongyuan to have dinner together, Duan Yixiong and the three people from Huaxing formed a dinner party, and Chen Xi naturally went to the old place to dine with Feng Yun.

"Fuck you." Feng Yun started swearing as soon as he sat down in the private room at the restaurant.

Chen Xi really understood his behavior. After all, Duan Yixiong didn't have a penny himself, and all the money he put in was from others. Feng Yun and Chen Xi actually invested their own money. Now the other party wanted to own more shares than them, how could Feng Yun not be furious?

"Okay, calm down. You know how awesome the Huaxing Group is." Chen Xi made a funny face at him.

"What's so great about it? In another ten or twenty years, we Aba Aba will be able to surpass it."

"Come on, don't you know what kind of background your Aba Aba is? He is an imperial merchant, so he doesn't need to look at the faces of some leaders."

"Ha, that company is not theirs, those three are just workers! How can they compare with me? Who is richer than me? If they leave, what do you think will happen to them?"

"You're right, but now they have a backer, so they can sit at the table and discuss things with us, and we have no way to deal with them." Chen Xi spread his hands.

"It's not easy to come to Huajing for a meeting every time. I fly all the way from Wulin..." Feng Yun didn't know what to say.

At this rate, it is still unclear when the project will be launched.

Chen Xi was not in a hurry at all because the progress was much faster than in his previous life.

"By the way, kid Chen. We are in some trouble right now. Can you tell me how to solve it..." Feng Yun then talked about the matter of JD.com and WeChat payment.

To be honest, in his previous life, Chen Xi didn't think much of Feng Yun's business, and didn't agree with some of his words in front of the media. In some aspects, he supported a certain JD.com. When he shopped, he would choose a certain JD.com platform instead of Taobao.

Although there are counterfeit products on every platform, there are too many small products on Taobao, and problems occur more often.

"If we do a good job of regulating the platform, consumers will naturally pay for it, right? Look at eBay abroad, they crack down on it so vigorously, there won't be any fakes..." There were some things that Chen Xi had to say, and he vented the resentment he had accumulated in his previous life.

"I was interviewed by the relevant department this morning. It's not that I want to sell fake goods, but there are too many fakes now."

"Ha, do you know why? The platform squeezes the factories every day. The factories can only save costs to survive, and the quality will definitely decline greatly..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about this project." Feng Yun felt a little embarrassed, he waved his hand and started to change the subject.

"It's very simple, just pretend to be cool!" Chen Xi took a sip of tea.

"Ah? Pretending to be cool?" Feng Yun didn't quite understand what this meant.

"They think they have money and can provide a lot of funds. Then we should act like we don't lack money and don't need them. Duan Yixiong and the three people wanted to use tricks to divide us at the meeting today, so we can also divide them. Besides, you just said that the three people in Huaxing Group are just workers. Will workers really consider the company? Are the three of them not united at all?"

"Go on." Feng Yun seemed to understand something and rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Look, among these three people, one is the general manager, one is the deputy general manager, and the other is the deputy president. According to the personnel transfer of large groups, their positions are likely to change in the next one or two years. In other words, this project is considered an achievement while they are in office, or an opportunity to make money. We just need to find a time to meet with a few of them in private, and then divide them at the meeting, and then show that there is a steady flow of large amounts of funds to make them retreat..."

"You kid, you are so cunning even though you are so young. Tsk tsk tsk~" Feng Yun scolded with a smile after hearing this.

"Ha, this is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Mr. Feng, please don't try to trick me. I'm a very petty person." Chen Xi made a joke.

"Look at what you said. How could I cheat you? We are members of the same front." Feng Yun patted Chen Xi's shoulder, acting like a good brother.

After a second thought, he continued, "I've never quite understood it. Your current achievements are ahead of 99.99% of your peers. Young people generally think that technology and finance are the most profitable industries. Why would you want to start this humble agricultural business? And you don't seem to be short of money, so why would you take such a big risk?"

"Haha, if our vision is the same as most people, how can we make money?"

Chen Xi laughed.

In fact, he had a purpose in undertaking this project, which was to resolve the knot in his past life.

The person he wanted to see had not appeared yet.

"That makes sense. The industries that others think are the most profitable are often not profitable at all. I see that your garbage recycling business is not well regarded, but it is the most profitable of your businesses."

Feng Yun now has some understanding of Chen Xi. His most profitable business is garbage recycling.

If this happened in China, many people would probably be jealous, but many people would also look down on it.

Chen Xi still remembers that in his previous life, his company was criticized online for shipping foreign garbage into the country and damaging the domestic environment.

Chen Yifeng knew more about this issue than those trolls on the Internet. He still remembered asking his father a question before, which was that other countries shipped garbage to China, destroying the environment and ecology, so why did the government support this practice?

Chen Yifeng's answer at the time was that when we become developed, we can also throw away the garbage to poorer countries. It's just a process. A country's rapid economic growth often comes at a price. Take garbage recycling for example. Although some people think this business is not decent or even "dirty and tiring", it is indeed a real source of profit. Moreover, garbage recycling can not only bring economic benefits, but also promote the recycling of resources.

International industrial transfer is often a process. Developed countries transfer some low-end industries to developing countries, and as these countries' economies develop, they will transfer similar industries to less developed regions. This is a global cycle, and each stage has its significance and cost.

"Oh, I really envy you! If I was a rich second-generation when I started my business, I wouldn't have any problems with my background now." After eating for a while, Feng Yun suddenly sighed.

"Hey, I didn't spend any of my family's money when I started my business. What does this have to do with whether you are a second-generation rich or not? Then again, you have resigned as CEO now, so this background issue is not something that cannot be changed."

Chen Xi did not lie. Whether in his previous life or this life, he started from scratch.

Because of this point, Chen Yifeng could never find any fault with him every time they quarreled.

"Oh? Then tell me if you have any good ideas." Hearing this, Feng Yun's eyes lit up.

This is what he wants to change now. Due to his background, many official projects in the mainland are difficult to take over.

But he cannot let the shareholders who supported his entrepreneurship leave, otherwise it would be like destroying the bridge after crossing it.

"Let me tell you a story. There was a family whose relatives came to eat every day and often stayed overnight at home. But the man was reluctant to chase them away because of their relationship. The man went on many blind dates in the village, but the girls were not satisfied with his family's situation. Then someone gave him an idea, asking him to cook terrible dishes every day and make the house dirty. The man did what the other person said, and the result was surprisingly good. The relatives stopped coming to his house, and he found the girl he liked..."

Chen Xi fell silent after he finished speaking. Feng Yun nodded thoughtfully after listening but did not say anything.

One month later…

Taobao’s single-day transaction volume on November 11 reached 350 billion, setting a new record.

Internet financial products such as Yu Qianbao have risen rapidly, and people have changed where they save their money and have invested their money in financial institutions.

At the same time, Aba Aba is preparing to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Tesla's stock price has risen sharply, making it a technology company that has attracted global attention.

Bitcoin also began to soar, rising from $13 at the beginning of the year to $1200, attracting global attention.

However, some are happy while others are sad.

Some people who sold their Bitcoin early almost fainted in the toilet, while some bold people who bought it were so happy that their mouths were crooked with laughter.

This day, inside the hotel.

Chen Xi was holding the computer and chatting with Dark.

The other party's words were filled with four words - complacent.

"Don't be too happy too soon. I'm going to sell most of the Bitcoin I have."

“Why? With such a good situation, we should buy in large quantities. Didn’t you say that Bitcoin will continue to rise sharply?”

"I think the market is going to fall sharply soon. You are not Chinese, so you don't understand."

"What do you mean?"

"As far as I know, the Chinese central bank will soon ban financial institutions from handling Bitcoin transactions, and the price will definitely plummet. I suggest you sell your Bitcoins as soon as possible."

"Your conjecture is absurd. It is impossible for the Central Bank of China to determine the increase in the value of Bitcoin. Second, even if they prohibit your financial institutions from trading Bitcoin, it will not affect transactions in other countries around the world. Third, those financial institutions should secretly trade overseas and will not be affected at all."

"Dark, what you said does make sense. The policies of the Central Bank of China cannot directly affect the global Bitcoin market, but don't forget that China is one of the markets with the largest Bitcoin trading volume. Once the central bank issues a ban, panic in the market will spread rapidly, especially among retail investors. The price of Bitcoin is largely driven by market sentiment and speculation. China's ban will lead to a large-scale sell-off, which will quickly spread to the global market and trigger a chain reaction. You may think that you can circumvent it through overseas transactions, but most investors are not so rational. They will choose to sell directly. In addition, China's ban is not only a restriction on financial institutions, but also a policy signal. It will make regulators in other countries re-examine the risks of Bitcoin and may even introduce similar measures. This change in policy direction will have a huge impact on the market. I am not exaggerating, but based on my judgment of market sentiment and policy impact. If you don't believe it, you can wait and see for a few more days, but I suggest that you at least sell some of it first to reduce the risk." Chen Xi advised kindly.

"You're going to ship the goods anyway, so why not sell them to me?"

Chen Xi was speechless as he looked at the words on the screen. He had said so much but the other party didn't listen. Instead, he wanted to be his scapegoat.

So, he didn't bother to explain and transferred a large amount of Bitcoin he held to Dark.

When the two finished their conversation, Chen Xi's cell phone suddenly rang.

This was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment and then pressed the answer button.

A man's voice came from the phone. Chen Xi frowned slightly after listening for a while.

An hour later, Chen Xi stood in front of the door of a guest room on the 15th floor of a hotel. He looked up at the house number, confirmed it was correct, and gently pressed the doorbell.

"Ding dong!"

The crisp doorbell sounded in the corridor, and soon the door slowly opened. A middle-aged man with a round figure and a big smile appeared at the door, with a bit of enthusiasm and shrewdness in his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, you are here, please come in!" The fat man stepped aside and made an inviting gesture.

Chen Xi nodded slightly and walked into the room. As soon as he entered the room, the fat man pointed to the shelf beside the door, on which a mobile phone was already placed. Chen Xi understood and took out his own mobile phone from his pocket and placed it on the shelf.

The room was decorated simply yet elegantly, and the air was filled with a faint scent of tea. The fat man courteously asked Chen Xi to sit down, then took a cigarette out of the cigarette box and handed it to him: "Want one?"

Chen Xi took the cigarette, and the other party turned around, picked up the teapot, brewed a cup of tea, and gently placed it in front of Chen Xi.

"This is the best Longjing tea. Mr. Chen, please try it and see if it suits your taste." The fat man said with a smile. He also picked up a cup of tea and sat on the sofa opposite Chen Xi.

The aroma of tea rises, and the conversation between the two quietly unfolds in this fragrant aroma. (End of this chapter)
