The car soon stopped outside a courtyard in the East Suburbs of Huangpu District.
Not far ahead,
a Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked there.
Next to it was a small pavilion,
where a Youth was sitting on a stone bench, playing with a lighter in his hand, looking somewhat bored.
After getting out of the car,
Zeng Jia, wearing high heels,
walked on the dirt ground, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Upon reaching the pavilion,
Zeng Jia smiled and extended her hand, saying:
"Hello, I am Zeng Jia, Chairman of Jiaxing Media."
"You were looking for me, weren't you? How should I address you?"
Zeng Jia's polite words were perfectly delivered,
she was very skilled at handling these second generation individuals.
Wang Mian lit a cigarette, took a slow puff, then casually waved his hand and said:
"Have a seat first. I called you here today to discuss something."
This attitude from the other party
made Zeng Jia slightly taken aback.
He was too arrogant. She was, after all, the owner of an entertainment company,
and smoking while discussing business with a female boss was very disrespectful.
However, she pretended not to mind, smoothed her bodycon skirt, and sat on the stone bench.
"Chairman Zeng, is it? My surname is Wang."
Wang Mian picked up the teapot.
Zeng Jia was about to hold the teacup to show politeness and courtesy,
but Wang Mian only poured a cup for himself, then put it back down.
Zeng Jia felt a bit awkward,
the other person clearly had no intention of pouring for her.
"Mr. Wang, may I ask what cooperation you wish to discuss by calling me here?"
Zeng Jia maintained her composure.
Wang Mian took a sip of tea, a slight smile on his face, and said:
"Chairman Zeng has misunderstood. There is no cooperation to discuss. I merely wish to acquire Jiaxing."
With that single sentence,
Zeng Jia was instantly stunned!
Her face was filled with surprise and doubt, she couldn't even believe her own ears!
"Wh-what?"
Zeng Jia asked, somewhat disbelievingly.
Wang Mian smiled and said:
"I said, I want to acquire Jiaxing, and I hope Chairman Zeng will cooperate."
After confirming,
Zeng Jia's face immediately darkened, and she stood up.
Her previous generosity and gentleness instantly vanished, replaced by a cold sneer:
"Mr. Wang, did you ask my investor to call me here just to make a fool of me?"
Even a clay Buddha has three parts of anger.
As Chairman of Jiaxing, Zeng Jia was not someone to be trifled with.
The other party openly stated he wanted to acquire her company.
If this wasn't mockery, what was it?
Seeing Zeng Jia's reaction,
Wang Mian merely smiled faintly, his expression still calm, and said:
"Sit down. I'm just notifying you first."
"Someone will tell you the specifics later."
A clear hint of disdain flashed across Zeng Jia's face.
She even suspected that the person in front of her was ill.
He just opened his mouth and said he wanted to acquire Jiaxing?
Leaving aside Jiaxing's market value,
this matter couldn't be settled with just a few words.
Zeng Jia even wanted to call her investor to clarify,
what kind of eccentric was this person, just amusing himself?
Zeng Jia suppressed her displeasure and sneered:
"Mr. Wang, don't you think this joke is very boring?"
"Acquiring Jiaxing, hehe..."
The smile on Wang Mian's face gradually disappeared, then his eyes narrowed slightly:
"Chairman Zeng, I am not here to negotiate with you."
"Buzz~~"
At this moment,
Zeng Jia's phone rang again.
A call at this critical juncture
gave Zeng Jia an inexplicable premonition of something bad.
Upon seeing the caller ID,
Zeng Jia immediately frowned, then looked at Wang Mian with suspicion, and answered the phone.
"Zeng Jia, are you with Mr. Wang?"
On the phone, an old man's voice came through, filled with extreme displeasure:
"Didn't I tell you, the other party has a very powerful background? Are you trying to get yourself killed now?!"
Hearing her backer's anger,
Zeng Jia was slightly stunned, then walked aside and lowered her voice, saying:
"Mr. Zhang, he said he wants to acquire Jiaxing, isn't this a joke?!"
Zeng Jia couldn't understand, and indeed, she couldn't.
The Mr. Zhang she referred to
was actually the investor behind Jiaxing Entertainment Company, serving as Zeng Jia's cash cow and support.
Many things are superficial,
especially for entertainment companies like theirs; the Chairman is often just a superficial Butler.
On the phone, Mr. Zhang said in a deep voice:
"It's no joke. I only just found out about the acquisition of Jiaxing myself, so I didn't tell you in advance."
"Zeng Jia, who exactly did you offend?"
"Otherwise, with their power, they wouldn't even look at your small company."
Zeng Jia was stunned.
Small company?
Listening to what her backer said,
Zeng Jia looked at Wang Mian with extreme disbelief.
She realized that the other party's background might indeed be very powerful,
otherwise Mr. Zhang wouldn't have said that!
"Mr. Zhang... who exactly is the other party?"
Zeng Jia was a little scared, but she still didn't want to sell Jiaxing just like that,
after all, she had painstakingly managed it for many years, and she also had her own shares in it.
"But acquiring a company, such a big matter, we can't just hand it over because of a single sentence, can we?"
Zeng Jia wanted to probe if there was any room for negotiation:
"Even if it's a forced acquisition, at Jiaxing's current market value of three billion, they should at least pay double, according to the rules, right?"
But the next second,
Mr. Zhang's words sent a chill down her heart!
"Zeng Jia, you're overthinking it."
From the phone, a hoarse voice came:
"Jiaxing is to be given to them, and you need to straighten out your attitude, otherwise I'll be implicated by you too!"
"If you mess things up, you should know what the consequences will be!"
Zeng Jia was stunned,
holding her phone, she stood there, completely dazed.
"Did you hear me?!"
Mr. Zhang spoke again.
Zeng Jia finally came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the shock and disbelief in her heart!
Zeng Jia's voice trembled as she said:
"C-can you tell me, who exactly is the other party?"
There was a moment of silence on the phone,
then a hoarse voice said:
"The other party is from Baoli Group, and they seem to be a distinguished guest. As for anything else, I'm not sure."
"You should know the weight of Baoli Group; going against them is no different from suicide."
"You'd better think carefully about who you offended!"
"Alright, quickly hand over the company to them, then get back here to see me."
