Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!-Chapter 954 - 405: Negotiation
Chapter 954 -405: Negotiation
Zhou Yuwen was unsure of the background of the girl in front of him and could only respond with a smile. Many people at this party were already waiting to network with Zhou Yuwen.
With Liu Jing and Jiang Xinyi’s encouragement, almost everyone believed Jiang Xinyi to be Zhou Yuwen’s nominal girlfriend. freewēbnoveℓ.com
To be honest, Zhou Yuwen didn’t quite like this feeling.
But he didn’t oppose it either.
Zhou Yuwen had noticed the Southeast District president from Ele.me standing nearby, looking at him eagerly. When Zhou Yuwen looked over, the president approached without hesitation to greet him.
Meanwhile, Tang Xinrou, also unknown in her intentions, kept flattering Zhou Yuwen, with a touch of admiration in her eyes.
She mentioned that she had some understanding of Zhou Yuwen before coming.
She was very optimistic about Zhou Yuwen’s current concept of the student takeout market.
Zhou Yuwen just smiled at this and then told Jiang Xinyi beside him that he had other matters to attend to.
“You handle things here,” Zhou Yuwen said softly, leaning in close to Jiang Xinyi’s face.
Jiang Xinyi nodded slightly, like a dutiful wife.
Then Zhou Yuwen connected with the waiting president from Ele.me.
“Mr. Zhou, let me introduce myself,”
“Mr. Lu, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Before the man could take out his business card, Zhou Yuwen stepped forward to shake his hand.
“Oh, Mr. Zhou knows me?” The man was surprised. The young man before him looked to be just a little over thirty, fair and chubby, wearing a brown suit and black-framed glasses, typical of a tech executive.
At first, when Ele.me and Meituan were vying for market share, they hadn’t noticed Zhou Yuwen’s segment of the market. It wasn’t until recently that Zhou Yuwen unexpectedly rose to prominence, overtaking the entire Southern Jiangsu student takeout market and defeating Meituan’s former president, that Ele.me began to reassess this student startup company.
Lu Youcai, the head of the Southeast District, was one of the few voices in the Ele.me headquarters. He came specifically to attend Zhou Yuwen’s party, waiting to make his acquaintance.
“How could I not know, Mr. Lu, your words are too humble. In Jinling, among those doing takeout, who doesn’t know you, Mr. Lu? Shall we go upstairs to talk?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
A few words from Zhou Yuwen had Lu Youcai feeling elated, knowing that the acquisition negotiations were already halfway there.
It’s to be expected. Zhou Yuwen previously had a falling out with Meituan. Now the only potential buyer seems to be Ele.me, as long as he demonstrates enough sincerity, success is inevitable.
So the two of them went upstairs one after another.
On the way, Zhou Yuwen saw Zhu Hong standing alone in front of a dining table, holding a glass of champagne.
She looked like a woman with unspoken grievances, shaking her champagne, with eyes that seemed to blame Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen met her gaze, but merely smiled lightly, unconcerned.
When it comes to business, the highest bidder wins.
Surely, he couldn’t sell just because Zhu Hong was beautiful and shared a few meals and games with him?
Remember, anything is possible.
Zhou Yuwen led Lu Youcai upstairs, encountering a few acquaintances and strangers who greeted him, all praising Zhou Yuwen’s good looks and talent.
And Zhou Yuwen just smiled in response.
The second floor of this villa had two terraces facing north and south, while the third floor had a small terrace that wasn’t open to the public today, reserved for business talks.
The two of them reached the third floor, and before entering the terrace, Zhou Yuwen thought of calling a waiter to bring some food and drinks up.
He saw a part-time girl dressed in a qipao and called her over.
“Mr. Zhou!” But then Minmin quickly ran over, beaming.
“It’s you?” Zhou Yuwen had some impression of Minmin.
“Yes, Mr. Zhou!” Minmin said with a face full of joy.
It wasn’t the time to catch up with Minmin, so Zhou Yuwen said, “Oh, go to the first floor, ask the kitchen to make some hot food, and bring up two glasses of champagne.”
“Got it, Mr. Zhou!”
Minmin instantly felt a great responsibility, believing she had to do it well to win Zhou Yuwen’s favor.
The small terrace on the third floor wasn’t as large as the second floor’s terraces, but it boasted wide views and was quiet and comfortable.
As soon as Lu Youcai entered, he was impressed by Zhou Yuwen’s foresight.
Choosing such a prime spot.
Zhou Yuwen said there wasn’t much to it, he’d just bought a place to live temporarily while studying here.
“Speaking of which, it reminds me that Mr. Zhou is still a student, young and promising,” Lu Youcai continued his flattering remarks.
Zhou Yuwen chuckled lightly and said, “Mr. Lu, you don’t need to say so many flattering words.”
“I’m not purely a businessman, just lucky, starting this with a few close friends, originally just wanting to find side jobs for students in financial difficulty. I never expected to achieve today’s results. I know my own capabilities, and the takeout market ultimately belongs to Ele.me and Meituan.”
Before Zhou Yuwen could finish, Lu Youcai quickly waved his hand, saying you’re being modest.
“Relying on brute force alone couldn’t have achieved today’s situation. Mr. Zhou, whether it’s you personally or the companies you founded, you have high esteem within our group.”
“My purpose here, as you know, is to cooperate with you, to integrate Xianlin Takeout into Ele.me’s system first, while our company is also very willing to invest in you personally!”
With the negative precedent of Meituan, Ele.me this time had given Zhou Yuwen enough respect during their interaction. Zhou Yuwen, a nineteen-year-old, was now being respectfully addressed as Mr. Zhou by Ele.me, and they didn’t even mention acquisition plainly, only cooperation.
