Chapter 175 Qiao Yuanfan's Conditions
This is the first time Jiang Shengli has come to this teahouse!
The boss at the counter was reading a book with his head down, and Qiao Yuanfan was sitting near the window where he could see Lan Yingjiang.
"Hello, Mr. Qiao." Jiang Shengli took the initiative to walk over.
"Mr. Jiang, please sit down." Qiao Yuanfan picked up the teapot and poured water for Jiang Shengli: "Thank you, you are so busy, and you are here to drink tea with me, the old man."
Jiang Shengli smiled: "Mr. Qiao is a world-famous orchid master. I don't know how many people regard your invitation as an honor. Now you invite me to have tea, and no matter how busy I am, I will definitely arrive."
Qiao Yuanfan also smiled: "Mr. Jiang won't ask me what I'm looking for you?"
"Mr. Qiao always tells me when he wants to."
Qiao Yuanfan did not go around the circle anymore: "When the International Ocean Association elected the Inspector General last time, I was very grateful to Mr. Jiang for casting my vote from my own people. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to express my gratitude, so I took the liberty to invite you out today."
Jiang Shengli knew very well that Qiao Yuanfan would never just express his gratitude when he made an appointment.
"Mr. Jiang, we're chatting anyway, let me tell you a story." Qiao Yuanfan suddenly said.
"Look at me with your ears." Jiang Shengli took a sip of tea.
"That's my own story."
Qiao Yuanfan slowly told a story.
Qiao Yuanfan has been known as a "child prodigy" since he was a child. He can learn everything at once, especially when it comes to raising orchids, his talent is surprising.
It is precisely because of this that Qiao Yuanfan is arrogant and does not look down on the people around him.
When he was 12 years old, he quietly left home alone, trying to find new varieties of orchids.
In front of an old house, he saw a young man in his twenties fiddling with orchids, just a pot of ordinary varieties.
Although Qiao Yuanfan was just a child back then, he sneered very disdainfully: "Is this an orchid?"
The young man was not angry at all, but instead asked with a smile: "What do you think is an orchid?"
"Treasures, lonely products, and even orchid varieties that only exist in ancient records." Qiao Yuanfan was not at all nervous: "Apart from these, raising ordinary orchids is just a boring thing."
But the young man shook his head: "In fact, ordinary people may not be bad. Is the ordinary people really different from what you said? The pot I raise is indeed the most common variety. But what about the treasures you mentioned? Some have raised them. What about the orphans? Some have raised them. They only exist in the ancients' records? Some have raised them. Some have raised them. There is no difference between them and my pot."
Although Qiao Yuanfan was talented, he was still a child at that time, so he didn't know how to refute his words.
The young man continued: "In my opinion, the pursuit of the lost varieties of rare orphans is still a craftsman. You are just repeating what your predecessors have done. From this point of view, there is no difference between your rare orphans and I raise an ordinary pot of orchids. We are all just craftsmen."
Qiao Yuanfan suddenly felt that what he said made sense.
What is the difference between pursuing varieties that predecessors have already cultivated and craftsmen? This is not the path of a master that you are determined to pursue.
Is this young man a paradise described in martial arts novels?
When Qiao Yuanfan asked this question tentatively, the young man couldn't help laughing: "How many laity people are there? I just like to raise orchids, but my talent is limited and I can't raise it well. Look at this pot, it's going to be trashed by me again."
"Your way of raising is wrong." Qiao Yuanfan unconsciously squatted beside the young man.
"From then on, I became good friends with this young man." Qiao Yuanfan said this and seemed to fall into memories: "I ran to the young man whenever I had time. It was really bad for him to raise orchids, but I was very bad at that time. I was proud and arrogant and arrogant. But after I met him, I slowly learned the principles of being a human being from him. It is said that I, Qiao, is talented and has never had a teacher, and I only teach others. In fact, I still have a teacher."
Qiao Yuanfan’s teacher is this young man!
But what Qiao Yuanfan learned from this young man is the principle of being a human being.
After hearing this story, Jiang Shengli smiled bitterly: "Is this young man's name Jiang Genzu?"
Qiao Yuanfan nodded with a smile.
Now Jiang Shengli knows why Qiao Yuanfan told him this story.
Because Jiang Genzu is his father.
Jiang Shengli never dreamed that Qiao Yuanfan knew his father, and there was such a relationship in it.
"Later your father moved." Qiao Yuanfan sighed: "He and I are both teachers and friends. On the day we parted, I called him 'teacher'."
"No wonder, no wonder." Jiang Shengli said repeatedly: "My father always said when he got older that although my Jiang Genzu's life was ordinary, he had a student who was famous all over the world. But when we asked who it was, he always refused to say it."
"I didn't know when your father passed away, but unfortunately I couldn't send him the last trip." Qiao Yuanfan felt a little regretful, and then stared at Jiang Shengli and said, "Your temper and personality are not the same as your father at all."
Jiang Shengli did not deny: "I have thought my father was a very useless person since I was a child, content with the status quo and not enterprising, so I swear that I will never become a person like him in the future."
"I've finished talking about your father, now let's talk about your own." Qiao Yuanfan suddenly changed the subject: "Have your company encountered great difficulties recently?"
Did you come to see me for a joke?
Jiang Shengli nodded calmly, many people knew about this anyway.
"You still have a funding gap of 35 million." Qiao Yuanfan seemed to know everything: "Otherwise you can't get through this month. So, I'll invest 35 million in you."
"Ah?" Jiang Shengli couldn't help but scream after being calm.
My mortal enemy Lei Huanxi's father actually wants to invest in his own money?
"You? Because of my father?" Jiang Shengli forced himself to calm down.
"There are reasons for this, but not all." Qiao Yuanfan said lightly: "There is another reason for my son Lei Huanxi. Hong Coral Capital defeated you, and the next target will be Lei Huanxi. If you don't fall down, it's still a shield for my son. After all, Huanxi has not been prepared yet."
Jiang Shengli understood a little.
Qiao Yuanfan took great pains to make his son, and he had to keep his Xihai Group at the forefront, and he could buy Lei Huanxi as long as he could.
"This is 35 million, not a small amount." Jiang Shengli was still a little skeptical: "Even your wife's Huanhai Group can't take out so much money at once, right?"
"I am a raising orchid, and many people who want to be elegant are willing to be friends with me." Qiao Yuanfan smiled and said, "There are many rich people among them, so I am sure I will raise such a sum of money."
He waved his hand and stopped Jiang Shengli, who wanted to speak: "But I have the conditions to invest in you, I want shares of your shipping company."
Jiang Shengli fully understood: "You want to use this 35 million to buy shares in my shipping company?"
"I was wrong, not 35 million, but 50 million." Qiao Yuanfan smiled and said, "I want to invest in your shipping company."
"Why?" Jiang Shengli calmed down completely: "Although I encountered great difficulties in my business, my shipping company is operating well and is also one of the most profitable companies under Xihai Group. Why should I give it to you?"
"First, you have encountered financial difficulties and you urgently need money. 50 million in cash can support you for a while." Qiao Yuanfan said calmly:
"Second, you can't solve the financial difficulties now, no bank will lend you a loan. Your final result is to mortgage the shipping company. Who do you mortgage it to? Zhu Jinyan or Adrien? Who else can get such a large amount of cash in a short time? No more. With your current situation, this shipping company will no longer belong to you. Why don't you let me invest in this way? I am your father's student after all!"
Jiang Shengli fell silent.
It was a long time ago that he said, "Give me three days to think about it."
"Of course," Qiao Yuanfan said readily: "Not only will I give you three days to consider, but I will also ask my friends to call you 10 million for you to respond to the emergency."
This once again went beyond Jiang Shengli's expectations: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn against you?"
"You won't." Qiao Yuanfan smiled: "Because you have another enemy besides Zhu Jinyan and Adrien. In the future, I will ask for more than this 10 million from you!"
"If you invest in my shipping company, the future returns will be more than just the 50 million yuan?" Jiang Shengli smiled bitterly: "The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken. You also have to take a piece of meat from me, and he also has to take a piece of meat from me. Mr. Qiao, don't have to wait for three days. Tomorrow, tomorrow, you can send someone to our company to sign the contract."
Jiang Shengli left, and left in a very lonely state.
Xiaohuan stood up at this time: "This person is finished."
"Oh, why?" Qiao Yuanfan was a little curious.
"I don't know how to do business. I'm an amateur in this regard." Xiaohuan stared at the door: "But I could feel that the last words he said were no longer fighting spirit. Uncle Qiao, no one is afraid of anything, the most feared thing is that he has no fighting spirit. He is finished. Maybe he has been brilliant before, but this time he is really finished, and he has no chance to turn over."
"But I still need him to stand there." Qiao Yuanfan said in a daze: "Lei Huanxi is not ready yet. He doesn't know what is really scary. He thinks he defeated Adrien, but Adrien didn't make any effort at all. For Adrien, Zhu Nanzhen's failure was just a small setback, but Lei Huanxi could not afford to lose, and once he lost, he was in-laws on the spot."
