Chapter 230 - 230 Something I Regret Very Much. Do You Know What It Is About?
230 Something I Regret Very Much. Do You Know What It Is About?
Luo Feng did not notice Ai Tingya at first, but Chairman Xiong’s gaze told him that the girl beside him was acting abnormally. Luo Feng turned his head and met Ai Tingya’s sincere gaze.
Seeing that she had been exposed, Ai Tingya immediately lowered her head, her ears turning red.
“Ahem… Where was I just…” Chairman Xiong almost forgot his words. “Yes, our company thinks very highly of Gather Sift Takeaway!”
Luo Feng smiled and said, “Thank you for your praise, Chairman Xiong.”
If he had a teacup in his hand, Luo Feng would definitely toast Chairman Xiong with tea instead of wine. Unfortunately, the new tea had yet to be served, so Luo Feng could only thank him verbally.
He could not help but feel a little indifferent.
“…” The glib-tongued Chairman Xiong fell silent. Luo Feng was not in high spirits. It was a little awkward no matter what he said next.
Ai Tingya, who came with Luo Feng, was so excited, but Luo Feng was still as stable as Mount Tai, as if Chairman Xiong was discussing the weather with him. To be honest, it was very depressing.
“Uh… um…” Chairman Xiong forced himself to continue. “Our Zishan is an investment company that is dedicated to helping enterprises develop and helping entrepreneurs realize their dreams. In our early years, we invested in many high-quality companies, such as…”
Chairman Xiong began to introduce Zishan’s historical results.
Luo Feng had understood it before coming, but it had to be said that hearing it with his own ears was another matter.
Zishan’s investment covered almost all aspects of the Internet, from shopping websites, social media apps, to search engines. Almost all investment companies that the public could name had their money behind it.
In the past two years, group purchasing had gradually become popular, so Zishan began to plan around group purchasing.
Zishan could be said to have covered the entire Internet, including the up-and-coming application softwares in the future.
Not every company was especially successful. Luo Feng knew that many companies that were favored now would end in the future. However, they had once developed and earned money for Zishan.
Moreover, as long as one of them successfully made it to the end, Zishan would definitely make a profit.
The return on investment could be said to be terrifyingly high.
When Chairman Xiong mentioned his previous results, he would subconsciously brag. Luo Feng could understand this feeling.
He listened very seriously, and Director Xiong was also very happy. He thought to himself that he had finally piqued this kid’s interest. It was not in vain that he had tried his best to say so much.
However, as he spoke, Chairman Xiong sensed that something was wrong.
Why did it feel like Luo Feng’s gaze was burning, and his overly focused mind was more like he was listening to a story? He did not seem to be thinking at all and was only interested in the follow-up…
His mouth was dry from talking while this kid treated his words like an audiobook!
Chairman Xiong closed his mouth gloomily. A trace of regret flashed across Luo Feng’s face, as if he was about to ask.
He was indeed listening to a story?
“Chairman Luo, what do you think?”
“What?” Luo Feng did not seem to have reacted.
“…” Chairman Xiong said patiently, “It’s about the cooperation between our two companies.”
“Ah… So you’re talking about this…”
Luo Feng had an expression that said, “Why did you go around in such a huge circle?” It was as if he was telling Chairman Xiong that he should have said so earlier. Why did he have to say so many prefixes? He felt tired on behalf of him.
Chairman Xiong seemed to be suffering in silence. This Luo Feng was really smart. He was so smart that he didn’t look like he was pretending to be stupid.
Luo Feng thought for a moment and smiled. “Investment… is pretty good.”
Chairman Xiong heaved a sigh of relief. The topic had finally taken a step forward. His dry mouth had not been wasted.
Before he could vent his anger, he heard Luo Feng say, “But I don’t lack money.”
“Cough! Cough, cough, cough!” Chairman Xiong choked on his saliva and could not stop coughing.
Luo Feng and Ai Tingya hurriedly stood up to pat his back. Ji Yang, who was pouring tea, also returned at this moment. He was extremely anxious when he saw Chairman Xiong cough until his face was red. He had never seen the Chairman in such a sorry state.
“Chairman Xiong, can you take a sip of tea?”
“I can’t drink water now. It’ll be fine if I cough it all out.”
“Go get some tissues for Chairman Xiong!”
The three of them were flustered, but Chairman Xiong did not hear a word.
He had lived for so long, really! He had really never heard of anyone not lacking in money. Not to mention those entrepreneurs who always complained about being poor in front of him, even ancient emperors had to worry about the expenses of the entire country even if they owned the world.
No one was like Luo Feng, who clearly said that he was not short of money!
“Ahem! Ahem!”
Chairman Xiong coughed for a while before gradually calming down. He forced a smile. “I’m sorry, Chairman Luo, I’ve embarrassed myself.”
“Are you really fine? Have a sip of tea.” Luo Feng personally handed Chairman Xiong a cup of tea.
“Thank you, please take a seat.” Chairman Xiong looked at him awkwardly and continued, “Um, Chairman Luo, I’m also a businessman. Which company doesn’t lack money? Moreover… As far as I know, Gather Sift Takeaway has yet to turn a profit, right?”
It was not easy to inquire about Luo Feng’s situation, but it was easy to inquire about Gather Sift Takeaway.
Chairman Xiong had done his homework in advance.
“There’s indeed no profit.” Luo Feng told the truth and did not hide anything. “But I can still afford to lose this amount of money!”
“…” Chairman Xiong was speechless.
Ji Yang, who had just gone to pour tea, had never heard such heaven-defying comments. His expression was uncontrollable as he stared at Luo Feng with wide eyes, as if he was looking at a monster. He did not know if he was too young or if his strength was really so strong.
Chairman Xiong was so tired. He was not even this tired when he stayed up late to work overtime.
He might as well chat with Luo Feng instead of discussing business with him. At the very least, he would not die every time.
The corners of his mouth twitched, feeling a little regretful.
Why did he want to invest in the takeaway industry so much? Moreover, he had encountered an unpredictable entrepreneur like Luo Feng… If not for the fact that the takeaway industry was really upcoming…
Chairman Xiong endured it thinking of this!
He raised his head and drank a cup of tea to calm himself down.
It didn’t matter! A man should be flexible! Nothing was too shabby in earning money!
“The online takeaway market is still immature now. We would need a lot of funds to nurture it, right?” Chairman Xiong took out his signature smile to discuss business. “Our Zishan has a certain amount of resources. Coupled with the investment, Gather Sift Takeaway can develop faster!”
He refused to believe that Luo Feng did not have any financial needs.
With the burning of money for online takeaways, it could empty a mountain of gold and silver.
Not to mention how strong Luo Feng’s background was at such a young age.
“Chairman Luo, let’s not beat around the bush. If Zishan invests in Gather Sift Takeaway, you’ll soon develop a second market and even promote it throughout the country. Look, Are You Hungry is already working hard!” Chairman Xiong had said all kinds of good things!
Why did he have to facilitate this cooperation?
It was because Are You Hungry had already entered their second city. Gather Sift Takeaway was clearly not strong enough. He did not believe that Luo Feng was not anxious!
He continued to lobby. “Chairman Luo, don’t you want Gather Sift Takeaway to develop into a well-known takeaway giant?”
Luo Feng fell silent and was not in a hurry to answer.
“Chairman Xiong, do you know what I regret the most?” Luo Feng changed the topic and asked softly when Chairman Xiong thought that he had finally caught him off-guard.
