Chapter 2247 Billion

Chen Fei said with a righteous look on his face: "Our Zhongwei Group enjoys great popularity both domestically and internationally, and its products are also welcomed by people from all over the world. Our business is thriving and our future is bright. Under such circumstances, the equity of our company must have another price."

"Although Zhongwei Group has never planned to go public, the corresponding valuation agency has also given us a certain valuation... Frankly speaking, as long as we are willing to go public, it will be no problem for the market value to exceed 500 billion. Mr. Wang, you want to pay 50 billion and take % of our shares. Doesn't this seem a bit inappropriate?"

Wang Kecheng's eyes widened instantly, thinking: "Okay, Chen Fei, you really dare to say that, 500 billion? How much money does the richest man in the country have now?"

This is not a lion opening its mouth wide, but a python swallowing an elephant!

Wang Kecheng took a deep breath, tried to calm down and said, "Chairman Chen, the price you offered is a bit unreasonable, isn't it? At present, apart from those well-known state-owned enterprises in our country, it seems that there are few companies with valuations of hundreds of billions."

Chen Fei smiled and said, "Just because there was no such thing before doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Mr. Wang should know that our Zhongwei Group has the opportunity to become such a giant enterprise. Otherwise, you wouldn't have invested so much money in us."

"However, having said that, I can't calculate the exact value of Zhongwei Group in such a hurry. Today, I can only say that I am willing to cooperate with Mr. Wang. I hope Mr. Wang will forgive me for any other shortcomings."

Wang Kecheng fell into deep thought.

Chen Fei continued, "After hearing the approximate price, Mr. Wang, if you still want to acquire our shares, we can slowly calculate the reasonable market value and equity distribution issues."

Wang Kecheng's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Chen Fei said: "In addition, I will also disclose the process of our negotiation to reporters. This is in response to the call of the provincial government and is based on the principle of openness and transparency."

"I hope Mr. Wang can give me an accurate answer to avoid misunderstandings among reporters and unrealistic reports. That would be of no benefit to us."

Wang Kecheng didn't expect that Chen Fei would actually outmaneuver him.

If the content of their conversation were made public, it would be like finalizing the matter from a public perspective.

By then, Zhongwei Group will be carrying the power of public opinion, and if he wants to rely on the pressure from the province to force negotiations, there will definitely be many inconveniences.

Chen Fei seemed enthusiastic and willing to accept investment, but in fact he just didn't want to go head-to-head with the provincial policy.

Wang Kecheng saw through it. Chen Fei's real purpose was to scare him away with an extremely high price, and then use the media to silence the province.

In addition, if Wang Kecheng burns his boats and really raises hundreds of billions of funds, with Zhongwei Group as an example, the price he pays when acquiring other companies will definitely increase exponentially.

After all, the profits of companies such as Changjiang Technology and Penguin Technology are not much worse than those of Zhongwei Group, and their voice in the industry is even more astonishingly great.

If every company offers such a high price, even Shengtang Group would not have that much money.

Wang Kecheng's face looked a little ugly, while Chen Fei, who was sitting opposite him, showed a hint of pride and emotion.

Because this idea was not his.

To be precise, this was the opportunity that Liu Fusheng taught them face-to-face in Pengcheng City.

Now that Chen Fei saw that this trick really worked, not only did it catch Wang Kecheng off guard and make him extremely embarrassed, but it also put him in a dilemma.

Chen Fei thought: No wonder Governor Liu was able to rise so quickly and hold a high position at such a young age. His control over people's hearts is truly amazing.

Liu Fusheng had asserted at the beginning that once Tang Shaoying took action, his agents would conduct acquisition negotiations in a high-profile manner and would show an attitude of indifference.

Liu Fusheng told them that no matter which company first contacted Tang Shaoying's agents, they had to follow a step-by-step approach, first discussing investment and then the equity structure, and slowly let them fall into this bottomless pit.

Of course, falling into a pit is just the first step.

If Wang Kecheng dares to invest, there will be more traps waiting for them, including Governor Tang, who will be trapped in the trap sooner or later.

At this moment, Chen Fei was not worried at all, and even had a hint of expectation. He hoped that Wang Kecheng would not be scared. Only if he fell into the trap, could Liu Fusheng's subsequent arrangements be slowly unfolded.

Sure enough, Wang Kecheng did not disappoint Chen Fei. The mission given to him by Tang Shaoying was to acquire these companies. If he failed in the acquisition, he would definitely be punished.

So after thinking for a long time, Wang Kecheng said with a fake smile: "Chairman Chen, I think what you said makes sense, but the valuation of your company still needs detailed calculations. We really want to cooperate with your company. No matter how much your company's valuation is, I will do my best to reach an agreement with Zhongwei Group."

Chen Fei applauded and said, "Mr. Wang is indeed the leading industrialist in East Guangdong. We have settled this matter. Mr. Wang must attend the subsequent press conference. Let's announce the minutes of the negotiation to the media reporters together."

Wang Kecheng nodded in agreement.

Thus, the business negotiations, in an atmosphere that seemed harmonious but was actually full of swords and blood, came to a temporary end.

At the subsequent press conference, Wang Kecheng and Chen Fei attended together and announced the meeting minutes to all reporters.

Wang Kecheng repeatedly emphasized that he would confirm the final investment amount based on the estimated market value.

Chen Fei also said publicly that the approximate amount of the equity transfer was hundreds of billions.

The entire press conference was in an uproar.

Wang Kecheng gritted his teeth when he heard this, but since Chen Fei didn't lie or even exaggerate, he couldn't say anything about it.

After the press conference, Tang Shaoying quickly received the news.

Afterwards, Wang Kecheng received a call from Governor Tang.

When the call was connected, Tang Shaoying said in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, your promise at the press conference seems a bit outrageous, right? Even if Shengtang Group provides you with financial support, the money should not be spent like this."

Hundreds of billions is by no means a small number.

Tang Shaoxiong reported this number to Old Master Tang, and without any exaggeration, Old Master Tang would scold Tang Shaoying for being a spendthrift.

Even though money is just a number in the eyes of the Tang family, they cannot waste hundreds of billions of dollars.

Wang Kecheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Don't worry, I have already investigated it clearly. Zhongwei Group is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Chen Fei's lies are just smokescreens."

"Oh? What have you investigated?" Tang Shaoying asked.

Wang Kecheng said: "Zhongwei Group is not worth that much money. I have repeatedly emphasized that it should be valued according to the market. I just want Chen Fei to agree to sell his shares first. We have a lot of room for maneuver for the rest of the matter."
