755: Chapter 755: Foolish with plenty of money?

This is awkward!

755: Chapter 755: Foolish with plenty of money?

This is awkward!

Bang!!

Fang Qingya, known for her fiery temper, suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

“What do you mean?

Trying to screw me over?”

“I thought you were full of sincerity, really willing to pay twenty billion Gold Coin for our shares.

I would definitely agree to this acquisition!”

“And yet, what you’re actually offering is increasingly worthless oil in exchange for our shares.

Is there anything more deceitful than this?”

In her urgency, Fang Qingya went so far as to refer to herself in a dramatically assertive manner.

As a professional race car driver, she has always had a quick temper.

Otherwise, why would she dare to race against others at breakneck speeds?

As the saying goes,

The greater the hope, the bigger the disappointment!

Fang Qingya had initially thought her newly established company had achieved great success in less than half a year, delightfully securing financing with a valuation of one hundred billion Gold Coin.

And what happened?

Twenty billion Gold Coin, plus three hundred million barrels of crude oil.

How on earth do you calculate that deal?

Based on the current market value, with oil at seventy-four Gold Coin per barrel, those three hundred million barrels would be worth precisely twenty-two billion Gold Coin.

Do they think Fang Qingya is a fool?

And to have it delivered straight from the factory—how many cruise ships would it take to bring three hundred million barrels of oil back home?

How much tax would have to be paid to process it?

And at what cost to sell it off for cash?

The performance of the Graphene Composite Battery is superior, and it will undoubtedly help electric vehicles gradually replace fuel cars.

Because there are still more than a billion fuel vehicles around the world with a robust demand for oil consumption, and oil can also be used as a petrochemical raw material, oil won’t become worthless, but a price drop is inevitable.

Of course.

Even if the price of three hundred million barrels of oil drops harshly, it should still be valued at least at one hundred billion Gold Coin.

Together with the cash offer of twenty billion Gold Coin, one hundred and twenty billion Gold Coin for a twenty percent stake suggests the company’s valuation is six hundred billion Gold Coin.

However, Fang Qingya couldn’t accept being taken advantage of like this, which is why she ended up slamming the table in frustration.

By contrast…

Tang Xiao and Wu Jie were quite composed.

As the CEO of the group, Tang Xiao has seen all kinds of situations over the years.

The business world is a battlefield.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch!

They said two hundred billion, as if Gold Coin isn’t real money?

Moreover, the oil magnates of the Zhongzhou Continent aren’t idiots.

Did they really think ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’?

Using such a strategy clearly aimed to kill two birds with one stone.

Their most abundant resource is oil, so if oil prices were going to continue to fall, why not shift the risk sooner rather than later?

Exchange relatively worthless oil for a stake in a company that’s bound to boom!

This way, they ensure they won’t have to worry about oil sales or steep price drops for at least the next half year!

They will also acquire a share in Tianyuan Green Energy Auto, reaping the profits from the electric car market as it explodes while fuel cars fade away!

This two-pronged approach proves the other side isn’t foolish.

In any business negotiation, Tang Xiao never underestimates any opponent.

Everybody is human, and the gap in intelligence between people cannot be that huge.

You plot against your opponent, and your opponent is surely plotting against you!

Negotiations are a process where both sides emphasize their strengths and cover their weaknesses, ultimately complementing each other.

In simple terms, it’s haggling.

So, these oil tycoons proposing such a unique partnership didn’t surprise Tang Xiao.

As for Wu Jie…

As the King of Tricksters, would Jie rest on unearned laurels?

The smoother things seem to be going, and the more ideal they appear, the more likely there are hidden dangers.

The oil magnates’ previous behavior was too generous.

Not enough at one hundred billion Gold Coin?

Add another sixty billion.

Still not enough?

Go straight to two hundred billion!

Are they really foolish with money to burn, or just wealthy and wilful?

Not at all.

For them, there’s too much oil underneath their lands.

Digging it up and selling it means money; if it’s not dug up, what’s the difference between it and water?

So, for them, oil is the least valuable thing.

On the other hand, shares in Tianyuan Green Energy Auto, just like the company’s prospects, are absolutely bright and promising.

If they can trade worthless oil for valuable shares, that in itself is a classic case of a successful investment.

Not to mention the windfall profits they’ll receive every year after successfully gaining a stake, just lying back and counting money—how cool is that!

The pre-sales at this new car launch event have already blown up.

Taxis, ride-sharing, government vehicles, and various other large orders together have reached a million units.

Earning twenty thousand Gold Coin per vehicle, that’s already a profit of twenty billion Gold Coin.

The more vehicles delivered, the more they earn.

Where in the world can you find a company with annual profits of several hundred billion Gold Coin?

In conclusion,

the sly calculations of these oil tycoons did not surprise Wu Jie.

He had long anticipated that the more generous negotiators were actually the shrewdest.

However…

Fang Qingya’s table slap was truly fierce.

She had indeed stunned the oil tycoons.

Perhaps it was because they never expected such a beautiful woman to be so crude and fierce.

Or maybe they were surprised that their offer, which was not at all low, had failed to sway Fang Qingya.

Of course,

the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward and icy.

The oil tycoons exchanged looks, completely at a loss for words.

“Speak up!

If you’re already this tricky before the official acquisition, won’t you bleed us dry once you become shareholders?”

Fang Qingya was exceptionally emotional.

This was the company she had worked so hard to establish, giving up seventy percent of the shares to Tang Xiao for nothing, and although she had grasped the greater reasoning behind it, it still pained her for a long, long time.

Woman, eh!

How many in the entire world can truly be so magnanimous and utterly disdainful of money, regarding it as nothing more than dung?

Allowing Tanglong Industrial Group to become the major shareholder without receiving a dime was because Fang Qingya knew cooperation would be all benefit and no harm.

The success of the recent press conference had also proven this.

With Wu Jie’s graphene composite battery and the backing of the Group’s powerful connections, the company could achieve its current state.

What about these oil tycoons, then?

Their investment in the company wouldn’t really help its growth; they were just there for the dividends.

If Fang Qingya and Tang Xiao were short of funds, if the company lacked the cash flow that would affect development, then they would surely have agreed to such an investment.

But Fang Qingya’s account still had over two billion unused.

Tanglong Industrial Group had just successfully partnered with Microsoft; they couldn’t possibly be short on funds either.

As for Wu Jie and his wife, they were certainly not people short of money.

Since they weren’t short on funds, why should they agree to let these oil tycoons leech off their profits like vampires?

And so,

the more Fang Qingya thought about it, the angrier she became, seeing that the oil tycoons remained silent, she completely lost her temper.

“Not talking, huh?

Then let’s not negotiate anymore.

Please leave!”

“I am the founder of the company and also the second-largest shareholder.

I have the right to veto any transaction!”

After Fang Qingya finished speaking, she turned to glance at Wu Jie and Tang Xiao.

“What do you think?”

Tang Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle, “While what you said is true, and Jie and I have no objection, are you sure they understood what you said?”

Fang Qingya was taken aback.

Seeing Wu Jie’s almost smiling expression, she immediately blushed in embarrassment.

Dammit!

In her excitement, she had spoken entirely in Mandarin, forgetting that these oil tycoons were from Zhongzhou Continent.

They could understand her only if she spoke in a foreign language or the language of Leng Beizhou – in Mandarin…

haha!

Clearly, her angry rants were not as effective as the slap on the table.

And now,

the oil tycoons were still exchanging glances, still at a loss for words.

Not being able to speak the language was truly tragic!

Of course, even more tragic was Fang Qingya, who had raged for nothing because the other party didn’t understand.

Isn’t this awkward?

Fang Qingya’s face was instantly flushed!

She sat down sulkily and immediately pouted, urging Wu Jie, “Jie, quickly tell them!

Tell them we’re not selling the shares!

No matter how much they offer, we’re not selling!”

Wu Jie laughed, “Don’t get so worked up; such a big deal can’t be settled with just a casual chat!”

As he spoke, Wu Jie turned to look at the oil tycoons.

Fang Qingya was somewhat puzzled.

After Wu Jie chattered away in their language for a few moments, he stood up and shook hands with a smile.

After the oil tycoons shook hands with Tang Xiao and Fang Qingya, they bowed slightly and left first.

As soon as the door closed, Wu Jie explained,

“I told them we are interested in cooperating, but we need to discuss it internally as a company about whether to sell shares.

We can have more contact in the future and arrange formal talks.”

Fang Qingya immediately got angry.

“So in the end, you do want to sell the shares, don’t you?

We’re not short of money, so why sell?”

“Aren’t you supposed to be the King of Tricksters?

How could two hundred billion Gold Coins buy you off?”

Tang Xiao smiled faintly, “Qingya!

Don’t oversimplify things.

When did Jie get bought?”

“Besides, business relations do not have to lead to actual deals; whether we eventually collaborate with these oil tycoons is not certain yet, so why the rush?”

Fang Qingya was left speechless, feeling even more uneasy inside.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that there was some conspiracy lurking behind all this…
