High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 363 - 178: Isn’t This a Bit Bullying? (Two-in-One)

At this moment, Liu Yuheng was not as eager to please as before.

After all, he had wanted to borrow money earlier, but now it’s a transaction.

Jiang Banxia mentioning wanting the company meant she wouldn’t lend him money.

That works too, preserving dignity, openly discussing business.

"Alright then, let’s wait for Mr. Liu to arrive."

About twenty minutes or so, before the dishes were served, Liu Zhengxiong arrived.

Upon entering the private room, Liu Zhengxiong greeted them with a smile: "Hello, students..."

"Hello, Mr. Liu."

"Hello, President Liu."

Jiang Banxia was quite sincere, but Li Yang was more perfunctory.

Liu Zhengxiong said, "No need for formalities, you are all Yuheng’s classmates, just call me Uncle."

Li Yang said, "For us stock traders, calling you Uncle isn’t very auspicious, since A-shares are known as the biggest casino, we’re all gambling here."

Liu Zhengxiong: "..."

Jiang Banxia: "..."

Besides feeling embarrassed, Liu Zhengxiong had no choice.

He could only pretend to be composed.

He sat down with a smile and arranged for the dishes to be served.

They started eating first, and once they were almost done, Liu Zhengxiong spoke: "Student Jiang, I just heard from Yuheng that you’re interested in Fuguang Group?"

"Not particularly interested, it’s just I heard President Liu is having some financial difficulties recently, so I wanted to see if I could help."

Liu Zhengxiong didn’t expect Jiang Banxia to change her tune so quickly.

Trying to play the emotional card seemed unlikely to work.

He said, "Here’s the situation, Fuguang Group mainly engages in food processing, while also dabbling in some real estate business, mostly in Jiangbei. Its annual revenue exceeds one billion, and the market valuation is around five billion."

He meant that offering eight hundred million was too low.

Though the figures he mentioned were somewhat inflated too.

Jiang Banxia said, "President Liu, although Fuguang Group isn’t listed, I’m quite familiar with its actual situation. You say Fuguang Group is worth five billion, I agree, and I even think with my operation, its value might reach ten billion. You hold 40% of the shares, my offer of eight hundred million is indeed a bit low, but it’s still a reasonable price. If you sell it to someone else at a higher price, I’d be really happy for you."

In a nutshell, whether it’s worth five billion or not isn’t for you to decide, it’s about how much the market is willing to offer.

Banks would only dare give it a valuation of up to two billion, how could Liu Zhengxiong claim it’s worth five billion?

Liu Zhengxiong sighed, "Fuguang Group has been in my hands for over a decade, if not for some family issues this time, I wouldn’t even dream of selling it. Even if I were to sell, I’d surely find a proper buyer. Selling it to student Jiang makes me feel assured, and it’s also a responsible way to handle Fuguang Group; I’m confident you’ll do better than me."

Jiang Banxia smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, since you’ve taken it this far, I shouldn’t be stingy either. I’ll add another hundred million, making it nine hundred million, how about that?"

Liu Zhengxiong replied, "Fuguang Group’s performance is very stable, and the market is very stable too; it hasn’t fluctuated for five or six years now, and the chances of fluctuation in the future are also minimal."

Jiang Banxia gave a slight smile, "But aren’t you in a hurry already? If you could wait, I’d wait for the auction later, perhaps I could get it for eight hundred million or even six hundred million..."

With eyebrows furrowed, Liu Zhengxiong found Jiang Banxia, a young girl, using the gentlest voice to utter the coldest words, "Student Jiang, don’t you think this is a bit opportunistic?"

"Haha, hah, indeed..."
