It's only about half an hour's drive from Ruomeng Group to Tulip Club, but it's a different matter when there's a traffic jam.

An hour later, Liu Yanbo and Yin Hanruo arrived belatedly.

Park the car, open the door and get out.

Liu Yanbo followed Yin Hanruo unhurriedly and walked into this club that looked exquisite and low-key.

He had been to this place at least ten times, but this was the first time he walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

The overall decoration style of the club is also in line with its name. There are many potted plants with flowers and plants, and even each box is distinguished by the name of the flower.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Yin Hanruo and Liu Yanbo came to a private room named "Qiu Haitang".

The first thing you notice after entering is a screen with ink paintings of begonias on it.

There is not only the fragrant fragrance of flowers in the box, but also the strong fragrance of tea.

Giggle~

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

This laughter is easy to recognize. Except for Shangguan Qingmeng, no one's laughter can be so clear and charming.

Liu Yanbo followed Yin Hanruo around the screen and saw Shangguan Qingmeng and Ji Ruyan each sitting on a stump-like stool, chatting happily.

"Finally here." Shangguan Qingmeng crossed her legs, looking so carefree that it was completely inconsistent with her own beauty and temperament. "Just because I was waiting for you, I almost vomited after drinking all this tea."

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road." Yin Hanruo explained, walked to the tea table, came to the opposite side of Ji Ruyan, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Ji."

Ji Ruyan stood up and shook hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Yin."

The two of them are both well-known strong women in the sea market. Although they have not had a personal relationship before, they have met several times at some cocktail parties and the like.

Both work hard in the business world and are recognized by many people as one of the four beauties in Shanghai. Yin Hanruo and Ji Ruyan cannot say how well they understand each other, but they still understand each other at the most basic level.

For example, what does the other party look like, what is its name, what kind of business does the other party's company focus on...

Everyone knows what they have in mind, and there is no need for others to make a cumbersome introduction.

After shaking hands, Yin Hanruo stretched out his hand and pointed to Liu Yanbo, who was standing next to him, and introduced to Ji Ruyan: "Mr. Ji, this is my assistant Liu Yanbo. You must have met him before, right?"

She knew that Lin Xue went to Tianshui Bar to work as a waiter.

Liu Yanbo went to Tianshui Bar every day during that period, and she also knew about it.

She also knew that the owner of Tianshui Bar was Ji Ruyan.

But she didn't know if the two had ever met, let alone that they had a deep friendship.

"I've seen you before." Ji Ruyan stretched out her right hand again and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, long time no see."

"Boss Ji, long time no see." Liu Yanbo gently shook Ji Ruyan's hand, almost breaking it at the touch, and behaved very politely and appropriately.

He lowered his head and eyebrows, not even daring to look at her.

Have no idea!

Liu Yanbo has been under strict control of his wife in recent days.

The three of them sat down one after another. Yin Hanruo and Ji Ruyan exchanged simple greetings and complimented each other before officially entering the topic of today's meeting.

Why do they meet here?

This matter has to start with Yin Hanruo and Shangguan Qingmeng's great help in helping Gao Yuanqiu and Luo Yi get married.

Ever since they offended the Gao family and the Yun family, Ruomeng Group's plan to open up the pharmaceutical industry has reached a deadlock - it cannot rent land to build factories.

As a last resort, they had to turn their attention to a public auction held by the government yesterday. But what Yin Hanruo and Shangguan Qingmeng didn't know was——

The government's bidding and auction was conducted behind closed doors, and there was no surprise at all. The vacant land in the western suburbs was successfully acquired by Baili Real Estate Company under Ji Ruyan's name.

Early this morning, Shangguan Qingmeng had to find Baili Real Estate Company again, hoping to rent a piece of land to build a pharmaceutical factory, but was rejected.

Ji Ruyan said that the land would not be rented, but cooperation would be possible.

What kind of cooperation law?

Baili Real Estate Company wants to invest in the new pharmaceutical business that Ruomeng Group plans to develop.

As long as Ruomeng Group agrees, Baili Real Estate Company will not only invest capital in the land in the western suburbs, but also invest in technology.

Are the conditions attractive enough?

However, Shangguan Qingmeng was a little undecided about this matter, so he called Yin Hanruo, who was more savvy than her in business.

In this way, three of the four beauties in Haishi gathered together.

The aroma of tea overflows in the private room, and the tea is of course good tea.

Yin Hanruo took a sip of fragrant tea and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Ji, why do you want to cooperate with our Ruomeng Group to open a pharmaceutical factory?"

"Because I have a prescription in my hand, and I also want to open a pharmaceutical factory on that piece of land." Ji Ruyan smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Yin, we are all businessmen, and we all know that in business, sometimes one plus one

The benefits that can be harvested may be far greater than two.”

This is why we can cooperate.

Businessmen chase big profits. As long as there is an opportunity, they don't want to miss it.

As for why it can’t be leased separately to Ruomeng Group to set up a pharmaceutical factory?

Yin Hanruo didn't need to ask, the answer was obvious——

Colleagues are enemies!

Even if the two companies produce different drugs in the future, there will inevitably be some competition, right?

Maybe one day, you will try every possible means to annex me, and I will also try every means to acquire you. This is not impossible, right?

Who will lose and who will win then, God knows what the result will be?

Ji Ruyan is not stupid. How could she rent the land to Ruomeng Group now and create a potential competitor for herself?

Therefore, there are only two paths before Yin Hanruo, either cooperation or finding another place.

She lowered her head and said nothing, lost in thought.

It is true that from a business perspective, what Ji Ruyan said is not wrong. Cooperation between the two companies may be able to generate more benefits, or even maximize it.

However, whether we can cooperate is not only determined by interests, but also by character.

Ji Ruyan's reputation in Haishi is not very good. Even though there are many untrue rumors, her involvement in gangs is basically real.

She is not involved in pornography, gambling, and drugs, and she is also a respectable businessman on the surface. But after all, she has many special "security guards" under her, and she has done a lot of things to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

Yin Hanruo has heard of these to some extent.

Yin Hanruo is a legitimate businessman, and deep down she is unwilling to deal with people with complex social backgrounds like Ji Ruyan. As long as there is a second choice, she does not even want to rent the land from Baili Real Estate Company.

Not to mention cooperation.

But now she seems to have no choice?

Although the Gao family and the Yun family have not spoken out about targeting Yin Hanruo and Shangguan Qingmeng, in recent days, many people in the Haishi business community have begun to avoid doing business with the Ruomeng Group, intentionally or unintentionally.

Among these people, several of them were even the CEOs of several companies that had maintained good cooperative relations with Ruomeng Group in the past. They called Yin Hanruo one after another, and there were signs in their words that they wanted to interrupt the cooperation.

What's more, those small companies that used to want to embrace Ruomeng Group have recently been avoiding Yin Hanruo and Shangguan Qingmeng like snakes and scorpions, and they all stayed away for fear of getting involved with them.

Counting from the day of Gao Yuanqiu's wedding, as of today, Ji Ruyan is the first person to say she wants to cooperate with them.

You know, before offending the Gao family and the Yun family, Ruomeng Group had never encountered such a phenomenon since its establishment. People came to cooperate with them almost every day.

From a purely commercial perspective, Ji Ruyan's proposal to cooperate this time can be regarded as a timely help, although Yin Hanruo resists this statement in his heart.

However, she had to admit that this was really a fact.

Yin Hanruo weighed the pros and cons in his mind, but the other three people drank tea and ate snacks, each one looking more generous than the other.

She didn't think about it for too long, maybe five or six minutes.

Yin Hanruo breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Ji Ruyan: "Mr. Ji, cooperation is fine, but I have an unkind request."

Ji Ruyan put down her tea cup and said with a smile: "Mr. Yin, please tell me."

Yin Hanruo said slowly: "I hope that after the cooperation begins, Mr. Ji, you can not interfere in the management and sales of the pharmaceutical factory and only be a shareholder who pays dividends."

After a slight pause, Yin Hanruo continued: "Of course, as compensation, Mr. Ji can occupy 50% of the shares of the pharmaceutical company that will not be diluted, and all subsequent capital investments will be borne by our Ruomeng Group."

This unkind invitation is really unreasonable!

You really dare to say it!

However, this compensation is really generous.

Regardless of the 50% equity stake, the subsequent capital investment will definitely not be a small amount.

Building factories, purchasing production machines, advertising, going to major pharmacies to buy counters... Which of these is not a necessary initial investment? Which one does not burn money?

Even though it was none of his business, Liu Yanbo, who had been eating and drinking since he sat down, was so frightened by Yin Hanruo that he dared not swallow a piece of mung bean cake in his mouth for fear of choking to death.

Shangguan Qingmeng also had a look of astonishment on his face. He opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Nizi, are you... going too far?"

Yin Hanruo pursed her lips lightly and said no more.

Of course she knew that what she just proposed was too much for both parties. But she also knew that only this kind of cooperative relationship could minimize the impact of Ji Ruyan's complicated social background on the pharmaceutical company in the future.

I can’t bear to let the child catch the wolf, that’s probably what it means, right?

There was the fragrance of flowers and tea in the box, and the atmosphere did not seem to become serious because of Yin Hanruo's request just now.

It probably took about a minute or so.
Chapter completed!
