Chapter 1817: Some Crying

Chen Zhiye did not feel like acting pretentious anymore. He had already uncrossed his legs. He stood up and paced around in the conference room. He walked to the conference room’s window and used binoculars to observe the situation over at the Song Jiang International Hotel out of boredom.

The binoculars were bought previously to observe the customer traffic at the Song Jiang International Hotel. When Chen Zhiye had nothing to do, he would stand here and watch the crowd at the Song Jiang International Hotel.

Watching the crowd dwindle to its present desertedness had Chen Zhiye’s satisfaction to a peak! This was all done by my own hands.

He dealt, the Song Jiang International Hotel one blow after another until it had reached its present situation. Every time Chen Zhiye picked up the binoculars and witnessed the number of customers in the opposite hotel decrease day by day, he felt an indescribable satisfaction!

But today, he saw a scene that made him extremely angry! When Chen Zhiye picked up binoculars and observed the Song Jiang International Hotel’s entrance, it just so happened that two people walked out from the front door. Chen Zhiye found that they were very familiar at first glance. Looking more carefully, he realized it was Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao!

The two were slowly walking out of the front door while talking and laughing. They got into an Audi A6 in the parking lot, and slowly drove towards the Douglas Vast Hotel!

Chen Zhiye was furious. Weren’t you in a traffic jam? Why did you exit from the Song Jiang International Hotel? Also shouldn’t you be in a hurry if there is a traffic jam? You don’t seem to be in a hurry at all.

This is really deceiving. Does he not think that I’m important? If I didn’t take a look with the binoculars, I would still be deceived. It seems that Yang Ming still has some resentment, so he intentionally stalled the meeting to mess with me!

The first reason Chen Zhiye still thought that Yang Ming would sell the Song Jiang International Hotel to him was that ]itss operating conditions were really bad. If Yang Ming didn’t sell it, he would go bankrupt. The second was that although Yang Ming tried to lie to Chen Zhiye, saying that he was in a traffic jam, he still eventually drove to the Douglas Vast Hotel. This showed that Yang Ming still wanted to sell the hotel, but he was just a little resentful.

Chen Zhiye coldly sneered thinking that he had grasped Yang Ming’s thoughts. You want to mess with me? Well, wait and see. You’ll see how I will kill you with the price in a while!

If you humbly bowed a little bit and said something nice with a smile, I might have mentioned a reasonable price so you wouldn’t lose too much. But now, hmph!

Chen Zhiye angrily put down the binoculars. Knowing that Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao had already come, Chen Zhiye didn’t need to watch with the binoculars anymore. He turned around and walked back to his seat, again crossing his legs in an impatient and cocky posture.

Soon, the waiter on the first floor called, reporting that Mr. Yang Ming and Mr. Guo Jianchao of the Song Jiang International Hotel had arrived.

“Bring them up,” Chen Zhiye commanded arrogantly.

About three to five minutes later, the waiter led Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao to the conference room.

“Please enter. Mr. Caique and Mr. Chen have been waiting in there for a long time.” The waiter made an inviting gesture, and asked Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao to enter the conference room before he left.

Regardless of Chen Zhiye’s attitude towards Yang Ming, he naturally could not treat Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao with a similar attitude as he was just a hotel waiter. He was polite all the while.

“Mr. Chen, Mr. Caique, I’m sorry to make you wait for such a long time,” Yang Ming entered the conference room and said after glancing at the arrogant Chen Zhiye, and the caucasian Caique on his master seat.

“Yang Ming, how long have you been stuck in the traffic jam? Did the traffic jam last all the way to the parking lot of the Song Jiang International Hotel?” Chen Zhiye said with a cold sneer. He did not give Yang Ming any face at all, and directly voiced out his displeasure.

Yang Ming called him Mr. Chen, but he called Yang Ming by his name. It could be seen how much he didn’t take Yang Ming seriously. However, it was no wonder. Chen Zhiye now thought that Yang Ming was a stray dog that could only rely on selling the hotel to survive. How could he be afraid?

“Oh?” Yang Ming frowned when he heard Chen Zhiye’s criticism. It seems that Chen Zhiye knew that I had lied to him about being in a traffic jam.

But how did Chen Zhiye come to know? Yang Ming simply glanced around the conference room, and found the binoculars by the window sill!

Obviously, Chen Zhiye had been watching the Song Jiang International Hotel’s movements through these binoculars. Chen Zhiye probably saw him and Guo Jianchao come out of the hotel and enter the car with these binoculars.

However, Yang Ming didn’t feel embarrassed at all, but sarcastically remarked, “It seems that someone still has a voyeuristic habit.”

Since Chen Zhiye had shed all pretense of cordiality as soon as Yang Ming entered, Yang Ming didn’t need to respect him anymore. Originally, Yang Ming thought that he would need to consider his image and not say something inappropriate as he was representing the Song Jiang International Hotel after all. However, Chen Zhiye was obviously not worthy of other people’s respect. He deserved to be mocked.

“You-” Chen Zhiye was a little embarrassed after being exposed by Yang Ming, and his face changed. He said coldly, “Yang Ming, get a hang of the situation! Now you are asking us to buy your hotel!”

“Oh? Really?” Yang Ming smiled. “It seems that there is something wrong with my memory. I remember that you came to me multiple times to talk about the merger and acquisition. It seems that you took the initiative?”

“Hmph!” Chen Zhiye coldly sneered, arguing, “I am doing it out of good will. I’m helping you seeing as you are about to go bankrupt. Don’t be ignorant!”

“So, I have to thank you, right?” Yang Ming heard Chen Zhiye’s words and looked at Chen Zhiye with amusement. “You want to buy my hotel and I still have to thank you. Is that it?”

“Of course it is!” exclaimed Chen Zhiye.

“Oh, unless one of us is a fool.” Yang Ming shrugged and said, “But obviously it is not me.”

“You… you, aren’t you ignorant? Don’t you know that you are begging us now?” Chen Zhiye never expected that Yang Ming would dare to say these things to him after coming here. Isn’t he afraid that I will become angry and choose not to buy his hotel?

“I’m begging you? What am I begging you for? Begging you to buy my hotel?” Yang Ming seemed to have heard something funny. “So, if I buy your hotel, you must also thank me. Is that it?”

“Buy us? What a joke!” Chen Zhiye listened to Yang Ming’s “sophistry”, and immediately laughed, “Are you rich enough to buy us? You actually still boast so shamelessly!”

“Okay, Chen, don’t argue with him. We are here to discuss business. If you have a personal enmity, you can resolve it later,” Caique waved impatiently. “Now, you can’t solve the problem like this!”

Chen Zhiye heard Caique’s words and thought that he was right. I came to buy Yang Ming’s hotel, and I’m also forcing him to agree to break up with Chen Mengyan. What is the use of talking nonsense with him?

Wow, I went off track because of anger. There is no real benefit in arguing with him. No matter how good he is in arguing, he can’t do anything but glare at us if we don’t increase the price of the acquisition.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiye’s mind suddenly cleared up. He cleared his throat, and said, “Yang Ming, I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you now. If you want a good price, it’s better for you to be sincere!”

“Oh? Really?” Yang Ming smiled casually. A good price… I hope I will give you a good price in a while. I’m just afraid you will not dare to want it.

“You will know in a while whether it is true or not.” Chen Zhiye frowned, then pointed to the seats opposite him, and said, “You two sit down!”

Chen Zhiye’s attitude was like a boss ordering his employees. This kind of aloof attitude was vividly displayed. Yes, he now regarded Yang Ming as his subordinate!

Yang Ming didn’t bother to say anything to Chen Zhiye. He sat directly opposite Caique, while Guo Jianchao sat beside Yang Ming, opposite Chen Zhiye.

Yang Ming didn’t bother with Chen Zhiye. He will be crying a bit later.

Chapter 1818: Who Merges with Who

“Mr. Chen, can we start? If you just want to talk nonsense with Brother Yang, then there is no need to negotiate.” Guo Jianchao said at Yang Ming’s instruction.

Chen Zhiye currently had the same thought as Yang Ming. Continue to act pretentious now. You will cry later.

“Well, let’s get to the topic.” Chen Zhiye was too lazy to negotiate with Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao. In his opinion, the Douglas Vast Hotel would definitely acquire Yang Ming’s Song Jiang International Hotel. It was a matter of course; there was no doubt! The only question was the price.

Otherwise, Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao would not be sitting here.

So Chen Zhiye didn’t say much nonsense, but took out a document from the file folder at hand and directly pushed it to Guo Jianchao and Yang Ming, “This is an asset evaluation of the Song Jiang International Hotel. Take a look.”

Guo Jianchao already knew Yang Ming’s true thoughts. He knew that they didn’t come this time to sell a hotel, but to buy another hotel! Although he didn’t know if this plan would work in the end, at least it was impossible for their hotel to be sold. So Guo Jianchao was not very interested in any asset evaluation report. He just took and skimmed it, and passed it to Yang Ming.

However, Guo Jianchao secretly pouted after skimming it. The Song Jiang International Hotel is only worth twenty million? What kind of joke is this?

Just the plot of land it is on is currently worth over twenty million. This asset evaluation is saying that the price is only twenty million including the hotel? Isn’t this the same as bullying?

However, every decision would be made by Yang Ming. They weren’t really selling the hotel, so Guo Jianchao didn’t bother getting angry with this report.

Yang Ming took the asset report and looked at it casually. He saw the figure of twenty million and faintly smiled. He did not take it seriously, “According to your evaluation, the Song Jiang International Hotel is only worth twenty million?”

Hehe, you’re finally asking about the main point? Chen Zhiye thought, I knew you would ask! The price of twenty million yuan was set to make it difficult for you.

“Mr… Yang Ming.” Although Chen Zhiye did not want to call him Mr. Yang Ming, he had to call Yang Ming like this because of negotiation etiquette, “The price of twenty million yuan has already been evaluated and proved by us many times!”

“Really…” Yang Ming smiled plainly.

“Yes!” Chen Zhiye threw his hands up, “You also know the current operating status of the Song Jiang International Hotel. It is completely losing money. During the acquisition, the debts had to be considered, so twenty million is already the highest price!”

“Oh, that is to say, there is no room for negotiation, right?” Yang Ming tapped his finger on the evaluation report on the table, “The Douglas Vast Hotel has the same basic blueprint and location as the Song Jiang International Hotel. Can I interpret this as your hotel also being only worth twenty million?”

“This… hehe. Of course, if you are willing to think so, then so be it.” Chen Zhiye didn’t understand Yang Ming’s meaning and thought that he was deliberately degrading him. But it didn’t matter. The price of twenty million couldn’t be changed, unless… Hmph hmph!

“Oh, I see. Just as I said, there is no room to negotiate?” Yang Ming nodded.

“Obviously. However, Mr. Yang Ming is also a smart person. I have additional conditions. If you agree to it, I can increase the price.” Chen Zhiye was too lazy to dawdle with Yang Ming. It’s like bargaining at the grocery market. You should just directly state the purpose.

Because he thought that it was useless to talk nonsense with Yang Ming, he just threw out his final conditions to lure Yang Ming into making a final judgment!

“What conditions?” Yang Ming remained calm, but sneered in his heart. He finally couldn’t help but reveal his evil nature. Chen Zhiye really has other purposes.

“If you leave and break up with Chen Mengyan, I will add fifty percent to the price, making it thirty million!” Chen Zhiye said plainly, “So? As long as you agree, there will immediately be thirty million in your account!”

“Oh? Is it that simple?” asked Yang Ming.

“It’s that simple!” Chen Zhiye thought Yang Ming was going to agree, “As long as you sign an additional agreement with me, this ten million is yours. If you think about it, a woman in exchange for ten million is a great deal. How many other women can you find with this ten million!?”

“Chen Zhiye, you did all this just for your son Chen Xiaolong?” Yang Ming understood Chen Zhiye’s purpose, and had no time to play along with this acquisition negotiation, “Aren’t you too generous?”

“Hehe, Yang Ming, the moment you left my room previously, I already said that you will regret it sooner or later!” Chen Zhiye didn’t hide, but laughed out loud, “You are still too inexperienced to fight with me.”

“Is that so?” Yang Ming smiled and did not refute, “I seemed to have said at that time that I hope you don’t do anything impulsive, or I wouldn’t let you go easily.”

“Anyone can talk. We’ll see who will have the last laugh. We’ll see who will be begging whom!” Chen Zhiye believed that Yang Ming was just getting some sort of satisfaction from talking, “Now, you have to be clear about who is acquiring whom!”

“I’m very clear about the situation. I don’t need your reminder,” said Yang Ming.

“Okay, have you thought about it? Twenty million, or thirty million?” asked Chen Zhiye.

“What if I don’t want it?” Yang Ming closed the asset evaluation in front of him and threw it aside.

“Yang Ming, what do you mean? You don’t want to talk about the merger and acquisition? Aren’t you here to talk about it?” Chen Zhiye did not expect Yang Ming to be so stubborn. He actually didn’t want to discuss it anymore.

“Who said it? Did I say I don’t want to talk about it?” Yang Ming waved his hand, “I’m here to talk about the merger and acquisition.”

“Then you…” Chen Zhiye was stunned, and didn’t really understand what Yang Ming meant.

Yang Ming ignored him, and turned to look at Caique who hadn’t spoken, “Caique, one word. For twenty million, I want the Douglas Vast Hotel.”

“En?” Caique had been listening to the conversation between Chen Zhiye and Yang Ming. He did not intend to participate at all. He said long ago that he had given Chen Zhiye the rights and responsibility to lead the negotiation. He was just listening. He didn’t expect that Yang Ming would suddenly ask him such a sentence.

“What?” Chen Zhiye was also stunned. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to suddenly change the thread of discussion by saying such a sentence. “Yang Ming, what do you mean? Do you have a problem? Now we are talking about the merger and acquisition of your hotel!”

“Yeah, I said it before. I’m here to talk about the merger and acquisition. But it’s not you who will be acquiring my hotel. I want to acquire your hotel instead.” Yang Ming shrugged. “Sorry, I might not have made it clear to you before. Or maybe you were too arrogant and understood it wrongly.”

“You… what the hell do you mean?” Chen Zhiye was a little dazed by Yang Ming’s words.

“I don’t mean much. I made my intention very clear!” Yang Ming pointed to the asset evaluation report on the table and said, “This report was a waste of time for you, but it’s not a complete waste. At least I can use it as a reference. Otherwise, I wouldn’t suggest twenty million.”

“Yang Ming, are you out of your mind? You want to buy the Douglas Vast Hotel?” Chen Zhiye was stunned and laughed as if he had heard a big joke. “Do you know what you are saying? Let’s not discuss whether you have twenty million. Even if you do, how can Douglas Vast Hotel be sold to you at such a low price? Are you stupid? The price of this land alone exceeds twenty million!”

“No…no!” Yang Ming waved his hand, “Chen Zhiye, you’re wrong. I meant that this twenty million is to buy all the Douglas Vast Hotels in China, not just in Song Jiang!”
