Chapter 135 – Business Deal
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He Xiaopeng had whetted Gao Ming’s curiosity. He wanted to know what happened, so he teased, “Did you meet a thief on the streets?”
“Not really.”
This big shot’s imagination is as big as ever, He Xiaopeng thought to himself.
“You should know that if I wanted my proposal to be successful, I had to get a big investment. Perhaps it was because I was so unlucky, but those people either didn’t have money or thought that this project was impossible. At that time, I went to the western suburbs dejectedly…”
“The piece of land that’s under construction?”
Gao Ming asked.
“Yes, that’s the place. I met my current boss when I was getting ready to jump off a building.”
He Xiaopeng’s smile became more genuine. “He told me that my project was amazing and that he was willing to invest tens of billions of yuan in it for me. And… he needed me. think if it weren’t for him, I would have gone to report to the King of Hell’s Palace.”
“10 billion yuan?!”
Gao Ming widened his eyes. He had not expected He Xiaopeng to spend so much money on this project! No wonder those people were unwilling to invest. After all, no one wanted to take on such a huge risk!
Even he would have to take a while to raise so much money, but the other party’s boss had casually forked out so much money. It seemed that this person was more capable than he had imagined!
“So, what exactly is your project?”
“A new energy vehicle.”
He Xiaopeng said without hesitation.
Gao Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Didn’t the officials already create a new energy system? Aren’t you spending a lot of money on the path that others have taken?”
“But we are the only ones who can integrate it with the smart system.”
‘As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Ming stood up abruptly and raised his voice. “You really did it?! Tesla is still in the research phase! Do you know what this means?”
“Of course.”
Seeing his big reaction, He Xiaopeng knew that there was a high chance of success this time. As long as the cake was big enough, he did not believe that these people would ignore it. So he said another thing. Before the other party could react, he continued, “CEO Gao, we plan to start mass production now.
We need you to provide the related parts for the chassis. What do you think of cooperating with us?”
Gao Ming was dumbfounded for a long time before he asked with much difficulty, “Are you sure? Am I really not dreaming?”
Seeing that he did not believe him, He Xiaopeng took out the video that he had taken previously and showed it to him. He stared at the screen intently. After playing it countless times, he sat back down and said, “To be honest, when I heard that you were coming over to talk about collaboration yesterday,
I wanted to find an excuse to reject you. I thought it wasn’t worth it, but I have to admit, you have moved me.”
“Tm sure that once this car is released, it will definitely cause a sensation! How can I miss out on such a good deal? It’s my honor to work with you guys. I hope we can work well together.”
He took the initiative to extend his hand and He Xiaopeng immediately shook it. “Thank you for joining us. Don’t worry, we definitely won’t disappoint you.”
“Hahahaha! Alright! 1’ll wait for your good news!”
After signing the contract, they parted ways.
He Xiaopeng heaved a sigh of relief. It was finally settled. There were still two companies left. It would probably take more than half a day to go to either one of them. He sighed deeply. He hoped that on account of their past collaborations, they would be easier to talk to.
Ever since it was established, Nakamori Technology, a well-known software company in the country, had received a prestigious award each year. Needless to say, the partners that worked with them were all big companies. Anyone who paled in comparison would have to join the back of the queue.
If not for the happy partnership from before, he would probably have to wait for a long time.
He knocked three times and turned the doorknob. “Chairman Guo, I’m He Xiaopeng, here to collaborate with you.”
‘When he looked up, he saw a woman in casual clothes, sitting on the sofa. He asked in surprise, “CEO Ji, why are you here?”
“Of course, we’re here to discuss cooperation. Why don’t I go out and let you talk first?”
He Xiaopeng quickly said, “I plan to look for you after talking to Chairman Guo. Since you’re here, let’s discuss together.”
“Alright, what do you want to talk about?”
Ji Mei said bluntly. She crossed her hands in her lap. She had already made up her mind that no matter what the other party said, she would not help. It was mainly because she was busy with work recently and did not have time to care about others.
As for Guo Ying, who was wearing a business suit and sitting in the boss’s chair, she had the same idea. If He Xiaopeng represented Ali, there might be a chance for negotiations. However, she had heard that he had already gone solo. Firstly, he had no money and secondly, he had no power. So, no matter
how good the project was, how good could it be?
She did not want to waste time on boring things. She was already giving him face by allowing him to cut in and discuss cooperation.
“My project is a new energy vehicle. My team has successfully integrated it with the smart system. We need to mass produce the car now. Software and forums are naturally essential.”
He Xiaopeng stated his needs simply.
Ji Mei’s company was known for both emerging forums and forum marketing. There were many people in the entertainment industry among them. After pondering for a moment, she said, “Not enough. What do you think, Ms. Guo?”
“My answer is the same.”
Guo Ying said calmly, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
He knew this would happen.
Those who came to discuss cooperation would basically be rejected unless they had a powerful backer.
These two were much harder to deal with than shrewd people.
He Xiaopeng explained, “This is a new project. You can consider it…”
“Previously, some people also came up with a new car that allowed me to generate buzz around it. Why should I make time to cooperate with you guys? This bit of benefit is not enough to move me. I need more than this.
Ji Mei did not hide her ambition.
Guo Ying seemed to have thought of something and said with a chuckle, “Ms. Ji is right. If you want to collaborate with us, you have to pay more than ordinary people. There’s no need to throw away the melon for the sake of picking up sesame seeds.”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Mr. He is a smart person. I’m sure you know what we mean even without us saying anything, If that’s all, I think we’ll have to wait another two or three years.”
Her response was as expected.
In fact, this answer was already quite tactful.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have been kicked out long ago.
“So, what if it is a flying car evolved from a new energy vehicle?”
