Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2323: Chapter 1761: The Negotiations Fell Apart (Part 2)

Li Haofeng looked in surprise at Han Zizhi upon hearing this. This livestreamer truly has an astonishing appetite, not avoiding any food, be it meat or vegetables.

Just now when Li Haofeng was chatting with Han Zizhi, he heard Han Zizhi mention that his family’s main business is an online platform, with its ecosystem expanded to seven major industries, and just in the first half of this year, they have expanded into two major sectors. Now, they’re going to enter three more industry circles at once, isn’t this speed a bit exaggerated? It’s like inflating a balloon!

This is actually not a good thing; spreading too thin and failing to digest in time could lead to a collapse, which would result in a chain reaction...

Bai Xiaosheng pondered briefly and then smiled at Han Zizhi, ”Mr. Han, you have quite the eye. These three types of businesses all have significant opportunities this year. It could be said that in a few months, there will be a small boom, a good time to make money. If Mr. Han wants to set up early, and if things are done rightly, your company could really prosper and make money hand over fist.”

Han Zizhi looked at Bai Xiaosheng, his eyes shining with surprise and admiration.

He has high aspirations and high standards; ordinary so-called successful businessmen may not even catch his interest.

This Bai Xiaosheng has indeed made him see him in a higher light!

Because Bai Xiaosheng, like him, has excellent foresight; in layman’s terms, he can see the ”windfall opportunities” in various industries!

”Yes, under the catalyst of several major international and domestic events this year, these industries indeed have promising opportunities, so I also want to take the opportunity to expand some business. I think Mr. Bai is a smart businessman, well-versed in the logic of strong partnerships and knowing that it’s impossible to monopolize the market from your side. Why not share a piece of the pie with a brother to spread the risk? Wouldn’t that be a win-win?” Han Zizhi said with a smile.

Li Haofeng and the others couldn’t help but look deeply at Han Zizhi, as they didn’t hear what kind of win-win cooperation he’s talking about.

”A win-win?” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled at the word, ”If it’s just about sharing some risks, then Mr. Han doesn’t need to worry about it. Once we decide to invest in those fields, even if we lose everything, our Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region can handle it. Even if we can’t cope, we have the American headquarters above us. We aren’t afraid of any risks!”

Bai Xiaosheng said this with a completely indifferent demeanor.

Implying that he had little interest in this cooperation.

Han Zizhi furrowed his brows slightly, then quickly smiled, ”Although that’s the case, Mr. Bai, you’re ultimately an employee, and this huge setup isn’t yours. Achieving performance and gaining praise from above is better than reprimand, isn’t it? Moreover, I can bridge the connection, allowing Mr. Bai on your side to collaborate with my father, which would truly be a mutually beneficial, win-win collaboration. No matter how you look at it, Mr. Bai, you’re not losing out, isn’t this good?”

Han Zizhi actually threw out the bargaining chip of collaborating with his father to persuade Bai Xiaosheng to open up the doors of cooperation to him.

Does he think his father is remarkable, or does he think the Han family is remarkable, assuming Bai Xiaosheng would eagerly agree?

This Han Zizhi really overestimates their Han family.

Li Haofeng and others couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Years ago, if the Executive President of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region heard that someone like Han He, or Lu Yun wanted to seek cooperation, they would indeed be overjoyed. But times have changed. Now Bai Xiaosheng, eager for reform, is desperate to find strong partners worldwide to cooperate with. The Greater China Region of Zhenbei Group doesn’t actually lack a collaborator like Han He right now.

This Han Zizhi just can’t figure out the current situation!

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, maintaining a calm face, not showing any emotion, and smiled lightly, ”I do hope to cooperate with Mr. Han He. I’ve even thought about visiting early. If Mr. Han Zizhi could bridge the connection, it would be wonderful.”

Han Zizhi, hearing this, thought Bai Xiaosheng was moved by his words and a smile appeared. Just as he was about to say something like wishing for pleasant cooperation, he heard Bai Xiaosheng calmly saying, ”I agree that collaborating with Mr. Han He is a win-win. However, I still don’t see any win-win situation in collaborating with Mr. Han.”

Han Zizhi’s smile froze, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with a hint of displeasure deep in his eyes. To him, Bai Xiaosheng’s words were clearly saying: collaborating with your dad is mutually beneficial, but with you, it doesn’t even count!

How arrogant and self-assured Han Zizhi is, always proud of making it into the Forbes list with his own effort, not to mention his solid family background, which he believes is far superior to a ”worker” like Bai Xiaosheng.

No matter how capable Bai Xiaosheng is, isn’t he just a worker who can be fired at any time?

Bai Xiaosheng’s words were clearly looking down on him!

Han Zizhi can endure other things, but he finds it hard to tolerate anything involving ”dignity.”

However, Han Zizhi still suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Mr. Bai, is that really what you think? But you need to understand, introducing you to cooperate with my father is not the same as you negotiating yourself or finding someone else to do it. Only when I mediate will you benefit more. From this point of view, cooperating with me can truly result in a win-win, right? Moreover, my company isn’t just a simple company; its strength is comparable to a dozen big companies! If you wish to see our publicly released semi-annual report, I can get it for you. Collaborating with me basically adds a strong partner to your side. Isn’t that what a win-win is?

When Han Zizhi said this, his tone was quite firm, carrying a hint of blame that Bai Xiaosheng didn’t recognize value.

Li Haofeng and others immediately frowned slightly. Bai Xiaosheng listened to Han Zizhi’s boasting because of his father Han He’s face, but he isn’t self-aware.

A person like him, if really made a collaborator, would inevitably lead to trouble later!

Including Li Haofeng, everyone felt some resistance in their heart.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Han Zizhi, ”Frankly speaking, Mr. Han, in the fields you mentioned, we do plan to increase investment this year. Not long ago, I personally laid out plans. But unfortunately, we do not need partners. This time, I’m afraid we’ll be sending you away for nothing. How about this, stay for dinner tonight, and I’ll let Mr. Li accompany you.”

Bai Xiaosheng was plainly refusing him.

And arranging for some Mr. Li to deal with him, who does he think he is looking down upon!

Han Zizhi couldn’t help but clench his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.

However, he didn’t show any expression; he maintained a surface level of restraint.

”Mr. Bai, are you really not going to reconsider?” Han Zizhi said in a deep voice, ”Even if we proceed with some cooperation first, not on a large scale, that’s also possible!”

Han Zizhi thought he had already humbled himself and made significant concessions, also giving himself a step down.

Even if Bai Xiaosheng initially partnered with him in part, his trip wouldn’t have been in vain.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and looked at Han Zizhi, gently saying, ”There’s no need.”

Bai Xiaosheng’s words were gentle but his attitude was firm.

Seeing Han Zizhi’s demeanor earlier, Bai Xiaosheng, like Li Haofeng and the others, found it displeasing; nowadays, even Han He would have to come personally seeking cooperation, what more with someone like Han Zizhi who doesn’t realize his status wanting to cooperate?

Before Han Zizhi could say anything else, Bai Xiaosheng stood up and said blandly, ”I have other matters to attend to, Mr. Han, please excuse me.”

Upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s attitude, Han Zizhi felt a surge of anger and humiliation.

He felt like a beggar, being turned away without even a bite.

”Mr. Bai—” Han Zizhi said coldly, standing up abruptly and speaking in a deep voice.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Han Zizhi.

”You’ll regret treating me this way!” Han Zizhi said fiercely, ”Goodbye!”

”Mr. Han, aren’t you staying for dinner?” Bai Xiaosheng showed no change in color because of Han Zizhi’s harsh words. Instead, he smiled and said to Li Haofeng, who also stood up, ”In that case... Mr. Li, why are you still standing there, see the guest out!”
