Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Crisis Approaching (3)

The correct valuation must consider not only the current price but also anticipate the future price trends of the commodities, a complex entity that encompasses accounting, planning, and many other disciplines.

At the same time, it is a key area of study for financial experts, and in this respect, they are the true connoisseurs.

Looking at the people currently engaged in this negotiation, whether from Changda or MN, nearly all are financial industry experts.

The advantage is undoubtedly on their side, both in terms of the number of people and the quality of the talent.

Manager Zhou’s words were immediately caught by someone from Changda.

Chen Jiaming didn’t even have to speak, as Zhong Qiaohui, who served as his secretary last night, became his spokesperson.

Zhong Qiaohui said, "Regarding the price adjustment proposed by your side, our personnel have conducted a detailed review and analysis and believe that it is not suitable for a price adjustment."

"But your chairman—"

"Chairman Xiao has already stated in his reply to your side that the personnel from our side negotiating with you today would provide a detailed explanation for you," said Zhong Qiaohui. As she spoke, she took out a well-prepared folder of materials and handed it to the opposing side’s professionals for review.

It seemed that Tengguang only had one financial expert.

The financial director of Tengguang took the folder and appeared to be reading the pages seriously, but in fact, this director was older, wearing reading glasses, and almost pressed his eyes close to the page to see the words.

Gu Nuan and the others weren’t sure whether he could actually see the words on the document clearly.

Manager Zhou crossed his hands and tapped his fingertips together, slowly drawing out a string of words, "I see—"

The words were too vague for anyone to decipher his intended message.

However, it was clear that Changda’s refusal to accept Tengguang’s proposed price increase displeased Manager Zhou.

At this moment, Gu Nuan began to feel a premonition—could it be that this acquisition deal was going to take an unexpected turn?

Chen Jiaming looked down at his watch.

Wa Zicong did the same.

Seeing them check their watches, Manager Zhou finally asked, "What’s the matter, does Director Chen have other arrangements?"

"Actually—" Wa Zicong raised his head and said, "Director Chen has a local friend who said they wanted to invite Director Chen to lunch at noon."

Manager Zhou was visibly taken aback on hearing this. "We have already prepared lunch for your side. The chairman has booked the most famous Fuyu Hotel locally, a large private room that can definitely accommodate everyone for the meal."

Wa Zicong seemed to show a hint of difficulty on behalf Chen Jiaming, saying, "Manager Zhou may not know, but that person is an old schoolmate of Director Chen and quite a prominent figure locally—"

"Is that so? Who might that be?" Manager Zhou’s forced smile was clearly a strain, "I’m a local, maybe we know each other?"

"This—" Wa Zicong followed with a laugh, looking cautiously at Chen Jiaming while he did, and finally said, "The relationship with an old schoolmate is a private matter and not quite appropriate to disclose."

Manager Zhou’s face suddenly turned ashen, and he said nothing.

Chen Jiaming, who had quietly lifted his gaze, swept it over Manager Zhou’s face without taking a stance.

Time ticked away, second by second.

The conference room fell into a deep silence.

Gu Nuan could feel Tang Qingzhong beside her constantly fiddling with his tie.

Manager Zhou’s head was, at some point, like Wa Zicong and Chen Jiaming, checking his watch.
