Chapter 2934: Agreement Reached
Meng Qi also proposed the same conditions at the beginning, but Xiao Yi chose to refuse at that time.
So there won't be any changes now. He insists on his idea. Edward's kindness is appreciated, but it is impossible for him to agree to such a thing.
"Mr. Edward, please don't blame me. If the head of the dignified Edward family only has this kind of magnanimity, just think that I have misjudged the person."
Xiao Yi made it clear that he had nothing to do with the person he was cooperating with. Edward and Meng Qi were all the same type of people in Xiao Yi's eyes.
Such a result was within Edward's expectation. He laughed and shook his head helplessly.
"Mia, did you hear that? This result is exactly as I expected. You should have lost the bet between our father and daughter, right?"
"Dad, this is not what I meant. I have said it before. Xiao Yi will definitely not be inferior to others. You have to try. You will lose face this time."
Before Edward came, he had already expected such a result. Mia just casually made a bet with him, and the purpose was also to allow her father to make this trip.
Xiao Yi directly rejected Edward's conditions and requests, but there was no need to worry about hurting Edward's face. Edward was not such a small-minded person.
Qin Jiaqi looked nervous, fearing that what Xiao Yi said would offend Edward, but she saw that Xiao Yi was sitting there calmly and calmly.
"Haha... Xiao Yi, you are right. As the head of the Edward family, I will not get angry at you because of this matter. My temper is not that small."
"Mr. Edward, aren't you angry?"
"This kind of thing doesn't make me angry. Besides, you didn't do anything wrong, so why should I get angry and care about it."
Xiao Yi had never worried that Edward would be angry with him before, so he had been thinking about the real purpose of Edward's visit to him this time.
You won’t be bored, let’s test his attitude here, Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment and said while holding the teapot.
"Mr. Edward, you came here not just to talk to me, right?"
"Of course, the rest of what I say will be treated as if I didn't say it, but what I said at the beginning is true. I do have a sum of funds that I plan to invest in China."
"It seems that I have become Mr. Edward's favorite target candidate. He directly invested 5 billion in funds. This is a big game."
Five billion U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, exceeds 30 billion. This kind of investment is not affordable for ordinary people.
For Edward, this money is not difficult, but it is different for Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi's current Tenglong has a combined total assets of only 20 billion.
This is still the company's funds, and the funds that can be withdrawn are only more than 5 billion. Xiao Yi frowned, and Edward continued.
"Xiao Yi, your company's management model is too old. This time the cooperation between the two parties is still to maintain Tenglong's dominance. How about I provide a new management model?"
"Ahem...Mr. Edward, you are really going to pose a problem for me. This time you, the banker, have bet 30 billion. It is really a bit difficult."
"That's true, Mr. Edward. Comparing Tamron's industry with that of the Edward family, the gap is really huge. All we can offer is four billion in working capital."
Qin Jiaqi has been operating Tenglong's affairs and has a better understanding of the situation. Apart from the normal operation of the company, four billion is already a limit.
To put it bluntly, it was Edward who took out 30 billion at once. Xiao Yi could not afford to follow up. After weighing it in his mind, Edward changed his conditions and said.
"Well, if that's the case, then I will reduce investment and invest 3 billion. This number cannot continue to drop."
Edward didn't have such patience. The cooperation between the two parties started from a little bit, but when it developed, the day lily was cold.
Since it is something to be done, it needs to be such a big deal. This is also Edward's style of doing things. Qin Jiaqi bit her lip, which still seemed very difficult.
Converted from three billion, that's more than eighteen billion. It's hard to even think about spending so much money at once.
However, the cooperation between Edward and Tamron is a rare opportunity. Seizing this opportunity can make the company's prospects even brighter.
"Xiao Yi...this..."
"Okay, Mr. Edward, by coming here this time and proposing cooperation with me, you have given Xiao Yi a great deal of face, and I agreed to cooperate."
"Then how much do you plan to invest?"
Xiao Yi held out three fingers. He, Tenglong, wanted to take the lead in the cooperation, so the investment must not be less than Edward.
"Thirty billion!"
"Okay! If the two companies unite, they will invest 50 billion, and the matter is settled."
"But I have a request here, and Mr. Edward must grant it to me."
At this moment, Xiao Yi said that Edward must agree to this condition, otherwise he would rather lose this cooperation opportunity.
Edward also expected that Xiao Yi would have conditions, and he could agree to Xiao Yi as long as it was reasonable.
"Just tell me what conditions you have. I also want to hear what requirements you have."
Qin Jiaqi originally wanted to ask Xiao Yi where to find the 30 billion. This is no joke, and 30 billion is not 300 yuan.
But at this time, Xiao Yi was negotiating with Edward. As a woman, it was not convenient for her to interrupt. She would talk about this issue later.
"I don't want the cooperation between Tenglong and Mr. Edward to be public. This should be possible."
"Do you mean to invest secretly without leaving any traces?"
"In this regard, we can use Mia's ability, because you also know that Tenglong is currently being targeted. I don't want to cause more trouble at this time."
Xiao Yi asked the two sides to carry out the cooperation in a low-key manner, not to disclose the news to the outside world, without any movement, and develop quietly.
Edward seemed to understand Xiao Yi's intention. This was to show weakness to the enemy, so that Xiao Yi's opponents would also relax their vigilance.
"Okay, I can agree to this condition, and the cooperation will be fully handed over to Mia to solve, and I will not interfere. At this age, I should be free."
"Dad, are you planning to retire early and leave these things for me to deal with?"
"There will be this day. When I see that you have found a husband that satisfies me, I can also leave these things and go to Xiao Yi for tea every day."
