Chapter 118 Bidding Successful

"That Populus euphratica must have been inspired by our return to our hometown to open Yibaijia Supermarket. I didn't realize that he is still very scheming at such a young age."

On the one hand, Lin Xiangbei put Hu Yang and Yibaijia (supermarket) in a hostile position, on the other hand, he wanted to talk about friendship with Xijiang through connections.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Zhang invites you in. You follow me."

Just when Lin Xiangbei was thinking wildly, the secretary's voice made him overjoyed. He quickly stood up, said "thank you", and followed the secretary to the small conference room.

Less than five minutes later, Zhang Zhongyi walked in.

The secretary quickly said: "Mr. Zhang, this is Mr. Lin Xiangbei who returned to his hometown. Mr. Lin, this is Mr. Zhang Zhongyi from Xijiang Friendship."

"Mr. Zhang, hello!"

"Mr. Lin, please sit down."

Zhang Zhongyi was smiling, but his tone was very calm.

The secretary brought two cups of tea and placed them on the conference table, turned around and walked out, closing the door.

"Mr. Zhang, I know you are a busy man, so I will get straight to the point. I want to open a large supermarket in Xijiang City when I return to my hometown. I wonder if your company has any intention to cooperate?"

Lin Xiangbei did not dare to test the other party's patience and explained his purpose of coming straightforwardly.

Zhang Zhongyi nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"We plan to invest 15 million yuan, and then seek one or two partners to jointly invest 30 million yuan to launch a branch of Huijiao in Xijiang City. Our conditions are that our shares account for 55%, and the company's

Management allows everyone to participate together.”

After running into obstacles again and again, Lin Xiangbei also fed back some information to Huijiao. In the end, they decided to lower their requirements and invest in intangible assets equivalent to 5% of Huijiao's brand and management experience.

"Well, your current conditions are quite fair. However, Mr. Lin, you may also know that we are going to be listed soon, and you can't control the investment. In the future, the profits of the supermarket will not be consolidated in the statement."

Zhang Zhongyi feels that unlike Hu Yang in his hometown, they are unlikely to sell the controlling stake of Xijiang Friendship in the future. As a listed company, profits are very important, and the inability to consolidate statements is a big flaw.

"But we can distribute dividends every year, and the investment income can be included in the annual report. Mr. Zhang, I hope you can consider it. At present, Yibaijia (supermarket) has opened, and I have done a lot of preliminary work here.

It takes less time and effort than starting from scratch.”

Lin Xiangbei is still making his final efforts. He hopes that the pressure from Yibaijia (supermarket) will make Zhang Zhongyi change his mind.

"I will consider Mr. Lin's proposal. In this way, I will have a meeting with the company's senior management to discuss it later, and I will give you a reply whether this matter is successful or not."

Zhang Zhongyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Lin Xiangbei quietly.

Lin Xiangbei knew that they were serving tea to see off the guests, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Then Mr. Zhang will be here...I'll go ahead and wait for news from you."

Zhang Zhongyi also stood up, smiled and shook hands with Lin Xiangbei, and then asked his secretary to send the guests out on his behalf.

Back in the office, Zhang Zhongyi felt that he now had three options: cooperate with Yibaijia (supermarket), or return to his hometown to cooperate and start from scratch.

Each of these three options has advantages and disadvantages, but the cooperation with returning home obviously has the biggest disadvantages. Based on Zhang Zhongyi's experience, Lin Xiangbei and the others are too controlling. In the future, let alone increasing their shares, I am afraid that their own say in the new company will be lost.

Very small.

It is relatively troublesome to start a new business on your own. One is that there is a lag in time, and the other is that you have to face competition with Yibaijia (supermarket).

To be honest, the grand opening of Yibaijia (supermarket) was a bit beyond his expectation, and he really regretted not being able to retain Fei Zhijun.

"Perhaps we should also cooperate with the little fox Populus euphratica?"

Zhang Zhongyi suddenly laughed. After such a big detour, cooperation with that boy was still the best option.

...

As Hu Yang expected, Yibaijia (supermarket)'s turnover basically remained at around 800,000 yuan a week after its opening.

In Lu Yali's words, there is almost no pressure to recover the investment within one year.

The bidding for Xite Electric has also entered its most intense stage. Several major manufacturers have tried their best to do all aspects of work.

Wu Maosheng rarely comes to the company recently. He spends most of his time at Xite Electrical Engineering. It is said that one day he accompanied Wang Tianming's technical team to do testing and worked overtime until twelve o'clock at night.

"Amao, you don't need to be so nervous, just go around often. What's the matter with you always working overtime with the technical team?"

Hu Yang didn't quite understand Wu Maosheng's actions. He didn't think Wu Maosheng could provide any substantial support to Wang Tianming and others.

"Hey, although I don't understand technology, I can still understand the quality of the test results. Now I'm relieved. As long as the product itself is not compromised, there should be no problem in bidding."

Wu Maosheng was standing downstairs in the laboratory talking to Hu Yang. With the test results, he was too lazy to hang out with the technical team all day long.

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, I'm afraid you'll be exhausted. The bidding meeting will be scheduled for the day after tomorrow, right? Come along and have a look if you have anything to do, and let me know as soon as you have any news."

After Hu Yang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He was still a little uneasy, wondering whether Xite Electrician could win this big order.

This large order from Xijiang Electric Power is very important to the current Xijiang Electrician. If it succeeds, it will be a leap in the door. If it fails, I am afraid it will have to be endured for several years.

Therefore, when the day came for the bidding opening, Hu Yang was a little restless and spent the whole morning in the office waiting for the results of the bidding.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work at noon, and there was still no news, Hu Yang's heart gradually sank.

"Bang bang bang..."

Just when he was about to call Wu Maosheng to ask, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in..."

Hu Yang shouted, and then the office door opened wide, and Wu Maosheng walked in accompanied by Huang Xinpei.

"Mr. Huang, Amao, what are you doing?"

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Hu Yang's heart began to beat faster.

"Mr. Hu, Xijiang Electric Power finally selected our equipment. It's a big order of 150 million, hahaha, we won it."

Huang Xinpei talked excitedly and waved his hands, like a general who had won a battle.

Wu Maosheng also smiled and said: "You haven't met the representatives from Siemens and Fengtian Transformer Factory. When those two people went out, their faces were very ugly."

It's strange that someone would feel good after the bidding failed. Hu Yang could understand Wu Maosheng's gloating. If the other party had won the bid, I'm afraid his performance wouldn't be much better.

"It's such a happy event that we need to celebrate it. Mr. Hu, I'll call back to make arrangements. In the evening, I'll call all the employees in the company and let's have a group dinner."
