Chapter 277: No one counts
Xi Hongwei actually "selled" his daughter for the sake of the company. How cruel is it.
Of course, this is what outsiders think.
The real situation is not worthy of being told by outsiders.
"Uncle Xi's business has many friends and opponents. Today, there are probably many people who are here to come and have come to joke. Cheng Weigao is just a pioneer, so we have to deal with it carefully." Lu Xiyan reminded.
"If Cheng Weigao is so messed with you, others probably won't take action easily." Meng Fanxing said.
"In a while, when Uncle Xi speaks, someone will definitely make things difficult for him. Notify the hotel's security and be prepared at any time."
"Well, I'll arrange it." Meng Fanxing is the general manager of the engagement banquet tonight. She decided everything, no matter how big or small, by herself.
The guests are almost here and the time is up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the New Century Hotel. Tonight in this magnificent banquet hall, we will witness the innocent love of a handsome man and a beautiful lady."
Except for the colorful lights next to it, the entire banquet hall instantly turned dark.
"Next, please invite our male protagonist tonight to appear!" The host's high-pitched and excited voice sounded again.
A beam of light hit the middle of the red carpet.
Meng Hao stood there with a bouquet of roses in his hand and excitedly on his face.
"Also, our beautiful and charming Miss Xi Mengyao." Another beam of light hit. At the end of the red carpet, on the stage, Xi Mengyao, wearing a snow-white wedding dress, was like the Snow White in a fairy tale.
With the lights in a building, Meng Hao slowly walked towards the stage along the red carpet with a rose in his hand.
"Look, Mr. Meng Hao walked towards Miss Xi Mengyao with firm steps..." The host didn't know what he found, and what he said was extremely sensational.
Meng Hao walked to Xi Mengyao, handed her the rose in her hand, and then slowly knelt down on one knee.
Take out a diamond ring.
"Mengyao, since I met you, I have known that you are the only one in my life. I will use everything I can to make you happy. I will use my life to protect you and love you. Please marry me." Meng Hao stared at Xi Mengyao affectionately.
At this moment, Xi Mengyao was so excited that she could not control her tears at all, and she burst into tears in an instant.
"Mengyao, marry me." Meng Hao said again.
Xi Mengyao held the rose and cried non-stop.
"Mengyao, marry me."
"Marry him, marry him..." The audience voices rang.
After all the work was gone, Xi Mengyao, under the urging of everyone, finally nodded and agreed, and Meng Hao personally put a diamond ring on her.
Applause was thunderous.
Xi Hongwei and his wife also came to the stage.
"Chairman Xi, today is a happy day for the daughter. Let me tell you a few words?"
"Okay." Xi Hongwei nodded, walked over, took the microphone from the emcee's hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Xi Hongwei. Welcome everyone to the engagement dinner between the little girl and Mr. Meng Hao. Today, I was both happy and a little sad. I was happy that my daughter has grown up and it was time to leave her parents and have her own life..."
"Sir, you can't go in without invitation!"
"Mr. Sato is your Chairman Xi's friend. Today I am here to congratulate Miss Xi Mengyao on her joy." Xie Xiaochu scolded.
“Get out of here!”
Facing the fierce Sato, the hotel security guard saw that it was a Japanese and subconsciously took a step back and did not dare to continue to stop him.
Sato, the representative of Mitsui Industrial, came and rushed around. When many guests saw that they were Japanese, they made way.
Sato took Xie Xiaochu and others to the center of the banquet and came to the opposite of the microphone.
Xi Hongwei saw Sato, and he knew that this guy was coming, and today's engagement banquet was destined to be uneasy. He suppressed the anger in his heart and ended his speech.
"Brother Xi, Mengyao is engaged. It would be fine if you don't invite me, why doesn't Mr. Sato invite me?" Xie Xiaochu smiled, stepped out of the crowd, walked up to Xi Hongwei and asked.
“Are we familiar with each other?”
"No matter how you say that Mr. Sato also admires Brother Xi very much."
"There are so many people who admire me. Do I want to invite him to my little girl's engagement banquet?" Xi Hongwei snorted coldly, "Some people come uninvited, so shameless!"
"Xi Hongwei, don't toast or not to eat and punish. Mr. Sato represents Mitsui Industrial, the great Japanese Empire. You have repeatedly disrespectful words to endure hardships." Xie Xiaochu said in anger.
"Will someone who wants to embezzle my yarn mill at a low price, do I still want to pay him as my ancestor?"
"Xi Hongwei, Mr. Sato is kind-hearted. He wants to save your yarn mill. Your yarn mill produces one day and loses one day. Only by selling the yarn mill to Mitsui Industrial and reducing costs through technological transformation can you survive. You are a dog biting Lu Dongbin!"
"Is that so? I'm losing money, I'm happy." Xi Hongwei smiled slanderously.
"Chairman Xi, let's stop quarreling about this little benefit. In this way, Mitsui Industrial can produce technology to help your yarn mill undergo technical transformation, and you can also retain part of the yarn mill's shares. How about our win-win cooperation?" Sato said.
"What does it mean? Mr. Sato is not planning to acquire my yarn mill?" Xi Hongwei was slightly surprised. What tricks did Sato play?
"Of course it's a must, but we just change the way. We invest with technology and part of the funds, accounting for 70% of your strata mill's shares, how about it?" Sato said.
"Seventy percent, is that still my yarn mill?"
"We can discuss the amount of shares, but Mitsui Industrial must hold shares, Chairman Xi, this is our minimum condition." Sato said.
"How much are you planning to pay?"
"French currency is two million." Sato said.
"Haha, Mr. Sato is really settled the score. This is even more than the previous conditions. Sorry, I don't accept such cooperation." Xi Hongwei refused without thinking.
The whereabouts of 5,000 tons of cotton have not only been Xi Hongwei's personal matter, but also involves the interests of insurance companies and Commonwealth countries.
The cargo ship that transports cotton is an Australian shipping company in the Commonwealth, and the insured is an insurance company in the United States.
Both ships and cotton are in Keelung Port in Taiwan.
If the raw materials are not lost, the yarn mill may re-invest. Sato said that technology investment is by no means the latest technology. Two million French currency funds are also trapped. New technologies must purchase new equipment. If the money is invested, it will probably be earned by the Japanese again before it has been heated up.
The most valuable thing in a yarn mill now is the land. Equipment and factory buildings are not valuable, and no one will be required to give it for free.
There is also the raw materials for the 5,000 tons of cotton. Japanese yarn mills also lack raw materials. In winter, the Japanese army in central China has severely lacked cotton coats, and cotton is the main raw material for making cotton coats.
I didn't see that the price of cotton on the market has increased.
The five thousand tons of cotton have doubled faster than the original purchase price.
