Chapter 2153 Begonia's Advice

In the restaurant, Pi Yangyang sat with Gao Changyuan and Xu Guangda having breakfast together.

As soon as the three of them sat down, several men dressed in Totti suits walked into the restaurant, talking loudly, and sat down not far from them.

"These are representatives from India's Jingxi Steel Group; they've arrived as well."

Gao Changyuan glanced at it and whispered to Pi Yangyang.

Pi Yangyang said calmly, "Judging from their expressions, they seem very confident."

Xu Guangda said, "They are always confident, even if they know they have lost, they will still feel that they have won."

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but smile.

This does match his impression of his third brother.

Gao Changyuan said thoughtfully, "Although they are not Meichuan Iron Mine's first choice for cooperation, we cannot be careless. Jingxi Steel is still very powerful. Moreover, they are good at making grand promises, and who knows, they might be able to persuade the representative of Meichuan Iron Mine."

Pi Yangyang nodded. "That makes sense. When it comes to making grand promises, no one can compare to them."

“Now only the Myron family and Zheng’s Steel haven’t come.” Gao Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said thoughtfully, “The delegation from Meichuan Iron Mine has also not shown up.”

Xu Guangda said, "They haven't arrived at the hotel yet, but they should be here tonight."

Gao Changyuan said, "In business negotiations, the choice of who to contact first is often crucial. First impressions greatly influence their choices and judgments. Therefore, we need to find a way to secure the right to participate in the first round of negotiations with Meichuan Iron Mine."

Xu Guangda said, "I have sent them all the materials and submitted the application. As for how they will choose, it is still uncertain."

Gao Changyuan hummed in agreement and did not continue speaking.

However, it was clear that he was plotting something.

This was Pi Yangyang's first time participating in such a transnational cooperation negotiation, and there were indeed many things she was still learning, so she didn't speak up casually.

Several representatives from Jingxi Steel were eating and talking loudly, oblivious to everyone else, which drew disgusted looks from many diners in the restaurant.

After breakfast, Gao Changyuan said, "Mr. Pi, the negotiations haven't started yet, so we still have some time to relax. Don't let their poverty fool you; this is their capital, and the sea view is actually quite nice. Since you're here, why don't you and your team go and relax?"

Pi Yangyang turned to look at Tie Niu and the others, nodded, and said, "Okay."

"I won't stay with you; I have a conference call coming up later. If anything comes up, we can keep in touch."

Gao Changyuan added.

"It's alright, you go about your business."

Pi Yangyang said nonchalantly.

Although Gao Changyuan had invited him to come here for this negotiation, he knew very well that Guanghui Group was the main force in the negotiations.

Their role is to mediate when negotiations reach a stalemate and prevent them from collapsing.

"Alright, then we'll have to excuse ourselves for now."

Gao Changyuan wiped his hands, stood up, and said.

After seeing Gao Changyuan and the others off, Pi Yangyang called on Tie Niu, Amira, Qiu Haitang and others to leave the hotel and head to the beach.

This hotel is right by the sea; the ocean is right outside the door.

It is the hottest time of year in West Africa.

Upon arriving at the beach, one can see bikini-clad women lying everywhere, sunbathing and drinking juice, looking very relaxed.

Seeing this scene, it's hard to imagine that this country is actually extremely poor, and many people are even struggling with hunger.

Pi Yangyang saw a stall on the beach selling equipment such as life rings, swimsuits, and diving masks, and said to Qiu Haitang and the others, "Sister Qiu, we don't have anything to do this morning. If you're interested, you can go and play in the sea."

Du Haiou's eyes lit up, clearly showing interest.

But Begonia smiled and shook her head, "I won't join in the fun. This is something for young people. Seagull, if you want to go, then go ahead."

Du Haiou hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go alone? I wouldn't dare."

On the beach and in the sea, most people have black or dark brown skin; it's rare to see people with yellow skin like them.

Amira said, "Miss Du, I'll go with you."

Tie Niu stared at the sea and said to Kang Dezhu, "Zhu Zi, let's go together. This sun is scorching hot, it'll be nice to go into the water and relax."

Kang Dezhu listened to Tie Niu's every word, said "Oh," and followed Tie Niu to the stall.

Seeing that they were all going, Du Haiou also put aside his fear and took Amira to the vendors to buy swimsuits and life rings, ready to enjoy the sun and sand.

Pi Yangyang and Qiu Haitang found two beach chairs and lay down on them.

These beach chairs are not free. As soon as they lay down, a local woman came over to greet them.

The woman speaks English, which Qiu Haitang knows.

After figuring it out, she ordered two more glasses of chilled juice, then leisurely lay on a beach chair, enjoying the bustling beach.

"Chairman, the Yan Group is developing rapidly, and its business has expanded to J country, Hong Kong, South Asia, and Europe. If we successfully acquire this project, the company will have another one. The company is indeed quite large now. Have you considered going public?"

Suddenly, Qiu Haitang asked.

After listening, Pi Yangyang calmly said, "The company has only been established for a year, so it doesn't meet the listing requirements yet, right? What, do you think we should prepare for an IPO?"

Qiu Haitang said, "Going public has its advantages. I know the chairman's ambition is to restore the Yan Group to its former glory. Business expansion is very rapid now, but to truly reach the peak, we still need to leverage the capital market to accelerate the group's development."

"Of course, this is just my idea. The specific decision will be made by the chairman and the board of directors."

Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered.

His ambition was not only to restore the Yan family's former glory, but to build the Yan family into a true behemoth, so that all the families and companies that had framed and divided up the Yan family group in the past would grovel at his feet.

Therefore, Qiu Haitang's statement is correct; without leveraging the capital market, it would indeed be difficult to achieve such a level of success.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Have you thought of a way to get the Yan family listed on the stock market ahead of schedule?"

Qiu Haitang said, "I was just thinking about it casually. But I think that as long as we are willing to put in the effort, there is always a way. For example, the Yan Group was not founded under your leadership; it has existed for decades. With your connections and relationships, I think it shouldn't be difficult to get the Yan Group listed on the stock exchange."

"Besides, doesn't your wife's family own the Su Group? The Su Group is a listed company. You can use the Su Group to help Yan's Group go public..."

Pi Yangyang suddenly realized that what she said actually made some sense.

"Are you talking about a backdoor listing?" Pi Yangyang asked hesitantly.

Qiu Haitang smiled and said, "That's one way to understand it. But I think that if the Yan family restructures the Su Group in reverse, it might not be a bad thing for the Su Group. You are all one family, and working together will be more conducive to development."

"Moreover, the Su Group's success today is inseparable from the chairman's contributions. Without your Dragon Pill, it's hard to say whether the Su Group could have survived until now. So I think they shouldn't object if we really want to restructure the Su Group."

Pi Yangyang had actually thought about this as well.

When he founded Yan's, he had thought about eventually acquiring Su's.

However, he felt that the Yan family had only been established for a year, and it would be a bit too hasty to reorganize the Su family.

Moreover, he didn't know what the Su family was thinking, especially Su Xueqing, whether she would support him.

If the Su family is unwilling, or if Su Xueqing objects, he naturally cannot force the process forward.

"Yes, I'll consider your suggestion. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll have a good talk with Xueqing and see what she thinks."

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Qiu Haitang hummed in agreement and did not continue the discussion.

Just then, a melodious ship horn sounded, and the crowd on the beach suddenly became restless.

Some people who were lying in the sun got up and ran towards the sea.

Pi Yangyang sat up in surprise and looked ahead.

On the sea, a super luxurious cruise ship cut through the waves and sailed towards the port not far away.

The cruise ship was less than 100 meters from the beach, and people standing on the deck could be clearly seen.

On the top deck, a white man dressed in a white ducal suit was leaning on the railing, looking this way.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Pi Yangyang was certain at a glance that this person must be Duke Myron.
