244: A family dinner
Around six o'clock, Tong Mingzhu and Cui Zhaocheng walked into the house.
"Xiaolin, this is your Uncle Cui," Tong Mingzhu introduced Liu Xiaolin as soon as she entered the room.
"Hello, Uncle Cui, it's nice to meet you," Liu Xiaolin walked over, bowed, and shook hands with Cui Zhaocheng, exchanging pleasantries.
"So you're Xiaolin? Tongtong's Mom praised you the whole way. She said you started from a machinery factory, then moved to drones, flying cars, space shuttles, and even civilian submarines. Your ventures are astonishing," Cui Zhaocheng said with a smile. "It's a pity I wasn't in Kunhe City on Tongtong's birthday, or I would have met you sooner."
"It's all thanks to the R&D personnel; I just offered a bit of advice," Liu Xiaolin said modestly.
"Don't be modest. How come others couldn't do it, but only you did? It shows your capability is strong! Haha," Cui Zhaocheng said, laughing heartily.
At this moment, Hong Youli, who walked out from the dining room, spoke up, "Don't keep praising him. You should give him more warnings so he can improve."
"Yes, Uncle Cui, it would be great if you could give me more valuable advice," Liu Xiaolin echoed.
"Alright, stop talking for now. The food is ready in the dining room. Let's chat while we eat," Hong Youli said with a smile.
After everyone sat around the dining table, Cui Zhaocheng looked at the table full of rich dishes and said with a smile, "The food is really good; it makes my mouth water."
"Then eat quickly, eat quickly," Hong Youli said warmly.
While eating, Hong Youli casually said, "Brother Cui is going to the Beautiful Country soon. After that, he won't be able to eat Dragon Country's specialty dishes very often."
"Yes, I am very reluctant to leave Dragon Country, but I have no choice. My son just won't come back," Cui Zhaocheng said with a helpless expression.
"Has your Jiantuan Electronics been sold?" Hong Youli asked.
"Not yet. Many friends I usually have a good relationship with, seeing that I'm eager to sell, deliberately lowered the price. I'm unwilling to sell at a low price, so it has been dragged on until now," Cui Zhaocheng said indignantly.
"There is someone who wants to buy your Jiantuan Electronics, and he won't lower the price," Hong Youli said with a smile.
"Really? Who is it?" Cui Zhaocheng asked in surprise.
"Far away in the sky, but close at hand," Hong Youli deliberately kept him in suspense.
"You? How is that possible?" Cui Zhaocheng didn't believe him.
"Not me, it's Xiaolin. Xiaolin wants to acquire your Jiantuan Electronics," Hong Youli said with a smile.
"Xiaolin is going to enter the electronics industry?" Cui Zhaocheng wasn't particularly surprised when he heard it was Liu Xiaolin. He already knew that Liu Xiaolin was involved in too many different industries.
"Yes, I plan to do some R&D in electronic products, so I need to acquire a high-quality electronics company. My Uncle immediately thought of your Jiantuan Electronics," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"I'm not bragging, but let me tell you, my Jiantuan Electronics is truly an excellent company. Whether it's the management staff, R&D personnel, or skilled workers, they are all the best in the country. If you acquire it, you will truly get a great deal," Cui Zhaocheng couldn't help but start praising himself.
"I've heard it from Uncle and Tongtong, which has further strengthened my determination to acquire Jiantuan Electronics," Liu Xiaolin put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
"For the sake of your Uncle, I was originally planning to sell Jiantuan Electronics for 1.55 billion, but I'll give it to you for 1.54 billion," Cui Zhaocheng was truly generous, immediately reducing the price by ten million.
"No need, Uncle, I'll still give you 1.55 billion. I can't let you suffer a loss," Liu Xiaolin declined.
It was the first time Cui Zhaocheng had met someone who refused the offered discount and insisted on paying the original price.
"Child, are you a bit silly? I gave you a discount of ten million, why are you still not agreeing?" Cui Zhaocheng said, puzzled.
"Uncle, I appreciate your trust in me, but I cannot take advantage of someone's difficult situation; that's not my style," Liu Xiaolin insisted. "Moreover, I still have a condition."
"Ah? You still have a condition?" Cui Zhaocheng looked at Liu Xiaolin with a little surprise.
"Yes, I hope you can serve as our company's consultant and continuously offer advice. After all, you have many years of management experience and understand Jiantuan Electronics very well," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"You actually want me to be your company's consultant? The problem is, after Jiantuan Electronics is sold, I'll be settling in the Beautiful Country," Cui Zhaocheng was actually very willing to be a consultant, but he still had doubts. How could he be a consultant for them after going to the Beautiful Country?
"It doesn't matter. You can be our consultant even abroad," Liu Xiaolin took a bite of the braised pork trotters and continued, "When there are no issues, you can garden and plant flowers in the Beautiful Country. When there are issues, we'll video call you, and you can help us solve problems via video. The salary remains the same. What do you think?"
"There's such a good thing? The company is sold, I get a large sum of money, return to the company as a consultant, and can still get a high salary. This is too good a deal," Cui Zhaocheng was overjoyed.
"I'm the one getting the great deal. Everyone in the company trusts you; you are the backbone of the company. So, even if I acquire Jiantuan Electronics, you, the backbone, must always be there," Liu Xiaolin put high hats on Cui Zhaocheng one after another.
Cui Zhaocheng was so happy to hear this, happier than eating this table full of delicious food. "Oh, you trust me so much, I am truly honored."
"So, you agree to sell Jiantuan Electronics to me?" Liu Xiaolin asked.
"Of course I'm willing! Not only did you not lower the price, but you also refused the discount I voluntarily gave you. How could I disagree?" Cui Zhaocheng smiled and picked up a piece of Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish with his chopsticks, placing it in Liu Xiaolin's bowl. "Eat fish, eat fish. We'll sign the contract tomorrow."
"Thank you, Uncle Cui, you eat too, you eat too," Liu Xiaolin said repeatedly.
Hong Youli and his family of three were all happy to see Liu Xiaolin settle things with Cui Zhaocheng so quickly.
"Brother Cui, look at my Xiaolin, he's so thoughtless. You're going to the Beautiful Country to enjoy life, yet he insists on pulling you to be the company's consultant, not even afraid of tiring you out," Hong Youli deliberately complained.
"Oh, you don't know, I sold Jiantuan Electronics to Xiaolin so readily precisely because I could be a consultant," Cui Zhaocheng said with a smile. "Although the company is sold, I can still see it developing prosperously. This is even happier than getting the money."
Hong Youli and Tong Mingzhu exchanged glances, admiring Liu Xiaolin's move even more. This child could quickly grasp the other party's feelings and cater to their preferences, which was truly extraordinary.
