Chapter 646: Chapter 665: Becoming the Boss Supergroup, the Juju Protection Force Sets Sail
The group started arguing.
[What’s there to argue about? It’s not like we’re going to see Juju.]
[So you’re not going?]
[So you all should stop arguing and just let me go.]
[...Get lost!]
[What’s the point of this verbal sparring? Let’s just have a contest to see who has more assets. The ones at the top of the list get to go.]
[...Of course you’d say that, since you’re at the top of the asset list. Why don’t we decide based on who’s the most handsome?]
It looked like the group was about to come to blows.
Lily and the leader, Han He, stepped in to play peacemaker.
Lily: "Look at you all fighting. Let’s just have Boss Xu and President Wang go together. One is a seasoned veteran who can hold down the fort, and the other is a newly renowned smooth-talker. Anyone who’s done business with President Wang should know."
Han He: "I also think these two are a good choice."
[Alright, Sister Linglan has spoken, so we’ll stop arguing.]
[We won’t fight over who goes, but we should discuss what to say when they get there, right?]
[Right, right, we have to negotiate the terms for buying shares properly.]
Everyone was willing to inject capital and provide technical support because they wanted to buy in and become shareholders.
Making money was secondary. The people in this group weren’t really short on cash and had their own businesses.
It’s just—
Lily: "Don’t worry, the shareholder terms will be negotiated well. Once we’re shareholders, we can start pulling strings for Juju."
That’s right, the thinking of these tycoons was just that forward-thinking.
No matter how good the boss’s public relationship with Juju seemed, everyone still felt it wasn’t secure.
’Living under someone else’s roof means there will inevitably be times when you can’t call your own shots. That’s why everyone wanted to buy shares and become shareholders, to secure benefits for Juju.’
That way, if anything were to happen, Juju would have people in the executive ranks who could speak up for them.
[Alright, everyone’s said what needed to be said. I’ll just add one thing: it would be awesome if you could bring back some local specialties and gifts.]
Everyone’s opinions were consolidated.
「Two days later, on Federation Star.」
Four bosses from Haiyun Star rode in a hovercar, following Meimei who was leading them, and arrived at an office building.
The group exchanged glances.
’It’s a bit far out.’
’Their finances are probably a little tight.’
’The person who met us is nice enough. I heard she’s our Juju’s editor. Seems very gentle.’
Soon, they took the elevator. After reaching the designated floor, Qian Xingxing came out to greet them.
He was originally supposed to go to the jump station himself, but something came up at the company last minute, so Meimei went in his place.
The meeting was originally scheduled to be in a private room at the Federation’s revolving restaurant. However, when the bosses from the neighboring Shuiyun Star heard "revolving restaurant," they immediately shot it down, so in the end, the company’s office was chosen as the venue.
The other party had stated plainly: "We’re actually more curious about the company itself."
"President Ling, Mr. Han, President Wang, Boss Xu." Qian Xingxing greeted each of them in turn. After shaking hands, they all went to the conference room.
Though it was called a negotiation, it was more like a casual chat.
The Haiyun Star delegation was led by Han He, with the young Boss Wang providing support. "Our reason for coming is actually very simple," he began. "We want to invest in your company."
Before they came, the group had discussed negotiation tactics. The younger bosses had suggested they act like a typical venture capital firm: evaluate the company, solve its problems with money, and demand shares. Only after securing the shares would they reveal their identities as fans, shocking everyone! They would then lie in wait among the executives, protecting Juju and helping shape their rise to stardom!
The older bosses felt there was no need for such a complicated approach.
Before doing anything, you must never forget your objective.
What were they all here for?
