Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

The simultaneous appearance of Qiao Xuying as the general manager of Hualong and Du Qianqian as the legal representative of Inspur made Fei Boxiang feel that Zhou Qi's visit might mean that bigger moves were about to take place.

He originally thought that this was the beginning of cooperation between several companies, but he did not expect that after a conversation, his brows gradually furrowed and his face became increasingly gloomy.

Zhou Qi proposed to swap equity with Zhou Jinsheng in an attempt to reach some form of cooperation.

This proposal sounded like a fantasy to Fei Boxiang - Zhou Jinsheng was obviously aiming for a share of the mainland market, so wouldn't such "cooperation" be equivalent to handing over his own interests to others?

Therefore, when Zhou Qi had just finished speaking, Fei Boxiang interrupted and said, "Boss Zhou, do you mean to let us surrender without a fight? How is this different from ceding territory in exchange for peace?"

As a brand with a century-old history, Lao Fengxiang has always been a leader in the mainland jewelry industry.

Fei Boxiang knew very well that if he really did what Zhou Qi said, once the news spread, how would the outside world view Lao Fengxiang?

Furthermore, the business world is like a battlefield, and Zhou Qi should understand the principle that "one mountain cannot support two tigers".

Fei Boxiang originally believed that Zhou Qi wanted to acquire Zhou Jinsheng's shares and unite mainland jewelry brands to put pressure on Zhou in order to prevent him from seizing the mainland market, but now it seems that Zhou Qi has completely different ideas.

Zhou Qi seemed more inclined to lift resistance to Zhou Jinsheng and allow him to enter the mainland market.

This obviously goes against Fei Boxiang's original intention. Faced with limited market share, how easy is it to coexist peacefully?

What's more, since it involves equity swap, even if Zhou Qi's personal holding of part of Lao Fengxiang's shares is an exception, if the swap is actually implemented, Lao Fengxiang's interests will inevitably be linked to Zhou Jinsheng's development.

This means that any uncertainty may cause losses to Lao Fengxiang.

The risks here are considerable.

The most important thing is that the mainland market has always been Lao Fengxiang’s territory. Why should he share the profits with others?

As Fei Boxiang said, this is like ceding territory after losing a war.

Moreover, it was not only Lao Fengxiang's interests that were ceded this time. If they agreed to this condition, how would they explain it to other jewelry companies? This would be tantamount to putting themselves in an unjust position.

Zhou Qi was not surprised by Fei Boxiang's reaction.

He looked at Fei Boxiang and said, "The Huo family invested 8.5 billion to help Zhou Jinsheng enter the mainland market."

"How many?"

Fei Boxiang exclaimed: "Eight...Eight and a half billion?"

Hearing this number, Fei Boxiang's face turned pale instantly.

What a huge amount of money! How is it possible?

Even if the Huo family is very optimistic about the prospects of the mainland jewelry market, they would not make such a big move.

Although the Huo family is indeed one of the four largest families in Hong Kong, how much are their total assets?

Even if it is working capital, how can other businesses operate if 8.5 billion is taken out at one time?

This is a desperate gamble and it makes no sense at all.

"Mr. Jay, you are kidding, right?" Fei Boxiang said in disbelief.

Fei Boxiang realized that if what happened in Gangcheng was not explained clearly, it would be hard for him to believe it all.

So Zhou Qi briefly recounted the previous disturbance in Gangcheng and cleverly avoided his own responsibility. At the same time, he informed Fei Boxiang of the news that the other three powerful families had formed an alliance with Li Zhaoji and Yangcheng.

According to him, the reason why the Huo family dared to make such a big bet was because their position in Hong Kong City was threatened, and in order to leave a way out for themselves, they had to go all out.

This also conveys a message: the Huo family is determined to win the mainland market this time.

Once the competition really starts, facing the 8 billion yuan of funds and Zhou Jinsheng's full support, even if Lao Fengxiang and other mainland jewelry brands join forces to resist, the final result may be heavy losses.

Not to mention, when it comes to real interests, human hearts are unpredictable.

Fei Boxiang knows best whether the so-called alliance of mainland jewelry brands is solid. If Lao Fengxiang chooses to stand up and fight, the result may not be very good.

Hearing these words, Fei Boxiang's face became more and more gloomy. Zhou Qi did not hesitate too much, and directly took out the equity swap agreement signed by Zhou Zhenming and handed it to Fei Boxiang.

Fei Boxiang took it and looked at it carefully. It said 39 percent.

"Mr. Zhou, do you want us, Old Fengxiang, to also give out 39% of the shares?"

Fei Boxiang questioned. If this is the case, the consequences will be disastrous.

He would never agree to that, it's simply impossible.

Zhou Qi smiled slightly and said, "As a foreign brand entering the mainland market, Zhou Jinsheng naturally needs to pay more for its products. Otherwise, wouldn't it be unfair to Lao Fengxiang?"

"Old Fengxiang doesn't need to increase his stake."

“I only need to replace it with 15% of my holdings.”

"Mr. Fei doesn't have to worry about giving up part of the market to Zhou Jinsheng, as he holds 39% of the shares, which actually means he is holding Zhou Jinsheng's lifeline."

"If Zhou Jinsheng had any deviant behavior,"

"With this 39% stake, you can convene a board meeting at any time and make a takeover offer at any time."

"However, compared to these means, I hope to see Lao Fengxiang and Zhou Jinsheng reach a peaceful and lasting cooperative relationship, support each other, develop together, and consolidate their position in the mainland market."

Hearing this, Fei Boxiang looked at the contract in his hand in surprise. If he were in Zhou Jinsheng's shoes,

He would never sign such a contract. This matter is becoming more and more complicated.

When he looked up at Zhou Qi, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"Mr. Zhou, I am not questioning the authenticity of this agreement, but judging from the content of the agreement, this exchange ratio is not fair to Zhou Jinsheng."

Zhou Qi understood his concerns and explained with a smile: "Because he has no other choice. Similarly, Mr. Fei and I don't have much choice either."

Fei Boxiang frowned and asked Zhou Qi coldly, "Mr. Zhou, are you threatening me?"

It is no wonder that Fei Bo thought so. After all, Zhou Qi now holds 39% of Zhou Jinsheng's shares, which far exceeds his share in Lao Fengxiang.

As Zhou Jinsheng enters the mainland market, Zhou Qi will naturally profit from it and may in turn help Zhou Jinsheng expand the market. This is reasonable from a business perspective.

In the business world, people are either friends or enemies, and there are many examples of people turning against each other.

Although Zhou Qi did have the ability to make a different choice, he chose not to do so, waving his hand and saying, "Mr. Fei, I think you misunderstood."

"Whether you agree or not, Zhou Jinsheng has invested in hundreds of stores in the mainland. Such a large-scale investment makes it inevitable for him to enter the mainland. You should be very clear about this."
