Chapter 200: Personal Interview

Liu Shiqi entered the financial world right after graduating from university. To climb the corporate ladder, she didn't hesitate to use some unconventional means, and her mindset was already extremely mature.

After founding Zhongguang Fund, her business experience grew exponentially.

With just a few words, she could intimidate a delicate girl like Lu Shanshan, who had never suffered the harsh beatings of society.

"President Liu, please wait a moment, I still have something to say."

To avoid falling into a passive position, Lu Shanshan hurriedly took the real documents out of her bag and handed them over.

"I took the wrong documents yesterday, I am truly sorry."

"These documents reflect the true situation of our company; nothing has been embellished. Please, all three of you, take a look first, and then we can continue our discussion."

Lu Shanshan honestly handed over the documents.

Liu Shiqi glanced at Lu Shanshan and suddenly felt that this female classmate of Zheng Qian was quite interesting.

This was supposed to be just a formality; why did she insist on handing over these documents?

But since she had handed them over, there was no harm in taking a look.

The three of them gathered together and quickly scanned through the documents.

After finishing, they looked at each other.

Especially Chen Weiqiang and Liu Shiqi, whose expressions were slightly surprised.

This situation was far different from what Manager Li Tao had described earlier.

"Hmm... these documents are much easier to look at," Manager Li Tao couldn't help but exclaim.

The data and everything else were normal; if they were running a loss, then they were running a loss.

"I have already heard about the situation regarding your documents from yesterday from Manager Li."

"I am very pleased that you were able to submit the real documents."

"Actually, a loss is just a loss. Your mother started the company from nothing; if she hadn't encountered difficulties, she probably wouldn't have come to our Qianhe Group for financing, right?"

Liu Shiqi had dealt with countless companies seeking financing, and she found that only three types of companies needed it.

The first type: small companies with good ideas but no money to execute them.

The second type: companies that aren't large, where it would take ten years to do it on their own, but only three years with financing.

The third type: companies that have encountered difficulties, are on the verge of bankruptcy, but have value in being saved.

As for those family businesses looking to sell shares in exchange for operating capital, 99% of them were in trouble.

Based on Liu Shiqi's many years of experience in finance, this children's clothing company really had no value in being saved.

Forget 15 million; she wouldn't even want to give 150,000.

This 15 million would come from the company's account, which would calculate out to about 2 million coming from Liu Shiqi.

However, it didn't matter if she didn't want to give it; Zheng Qian was the one in charge at Qianhe Group.

If he said he wanted to pay this money, it was useless for Liu Shiqi to object.

"Please, you must tell President Zheng that I didn't take the wrong documents on purpose; please tell him not to misunderstand."

"Very well, Miss Lu, we will relay that accurately." Chen Weiqiang nodded, telling Lu Shanshan not to get emotional.

In fact, even if Lu Shanshan hadn't brought these documents, they would still provide the financing.

Zheng Qian had spoken; who would dare not listen?

"Then let's talk about the shares," Liu Shiqi continued.

Upon hearing them talk about shares, Lu Shanshan felt that there was still a chance; perhaps they were moved by her honesty.

"Given your company's current operating status and the difficulties you have encountered, I think Qianhe Group should invest 15 million and receive at least 51% of the shares," Liu Shiqi said indifferently.

"Class A shares," Liu Shiqi spat out the two words coldly.

She was afraid she hadn't made herself clear, and she was afraid Lu Shanshan would play games with her, so she specified Class A shares, which meant shares with the most voting rights.

"Under normal circumstances, The Group will not interfere with your management system, but for major decisions, you must write a detailed analysis report and submit it to The Group for approval."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shanshan's expression changed slightly.

Liu Shiqi wanted control of the company.

With control, she would have the power to make decisions.

Before coming, she had already checked with her mother; it was best to keep the shares below 40%, as this determined which side the company belonged to.

If Qianhe Group obtained 51% of the shares, the company would directly become a subsidiary of Qianhe Group.

If Qianhe Group only held 49% of the shares, then the company would still be theirs, belonging to an investment and investee relationship.

Liu Shiqi's conditions exceeded her expectations. She really couldn't make this decision on her own; she had to make a call to consult her mother.

"It's fine. Ten minutes should be enough for Miss Lu to make a call, right? Please, go ahead."

"I will try..."

Lu Shanshan ran out to make the call and didn't return for a full twenty minutes.

"Miss Lu, what did your mother say?" Manager Li Tao asked.

"My mother agreed, following your requirements for 51% of the shares, but I hope we can complete the contract process today." Lu Shanshan let out a sigh. She wasn't too happy to see the control of her mother's company handed over to Qianhe Group just like that.

In the past, the company's market value had reached as high as 80 million, but now, for 15 million, the control had to be handed over.

But what other choice did they have now?

The company was in a desperate situation; they could only focus on the immediate problem.

"No problem."

Chen Weiqiang waved his hand and had his secretary go prepare a contract.

About ten minutes later, two standard contracts and a company merger agreement were placed in front of Lu Shanshan.

"Miss Lu, do you need to take the contracts back and have your legal department take a look?" Liu Shiqi asked.

"No need. I trust that Qianhe Group won't do anything underhanded with the contract."

After Lu Shanshan finished speaking, she signed it.

Liu Shiqi stood up first and extended a pair of flawless, jade-like hands.

"Miss Lu, welcome to Qianhe Group."

...

Meanwhile, Zheng Qian was conducting interviews.

After Song Qingli recommended her cousin Song Yaxian, the two had agreed to meet today.

Sitting opposite Zheng Qian was a woman with fair skin and delicate features, looking no older than 25.

She had long, shiny black hair cascading over her shoulders, a somewhat neutral voice, and exuded the aura of a mature, commanding woman.

She was tall with long legs, a slender waist, and a full chest; her temperament was excellent.

But compared to Jiang Yanran, she was still a little lacking.

How was this a cousin? If he didn't know the situation, Zheng Qian would have thought Song Yaxian was Song Qingli's older cousin!

The two chatted generally and basically learned about each other's situation.

Because Song Yaxian had previously worked in the internet industry and had never worked in physical industry, Zheng Qian didn't know where it would be appropriate to place her.

"You can put me anywhere, but I have to tell you in advance that I won't be working here for long."

Zheng Qian: ???

Who comes for an interview, chats for a bit, and then says they won't be staying for long?

Train you for two or three years, and then you just run off, right?

Moreover, Song Yaxian hadn't used the formal "you" to address Zheng Qian just now; she had used the informal "you" fifteen times.

If it were any other interviewer, they might have kicked Song Yaxian out long ago!

It was only because Zheng Qian had a good temper that he could still sit here and chat with Song Yaxian.
