After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

In the magnificent hotel suite, investor Chen sat upright, holding a teacup in his hand, but he just sniffed the tea fragrance gently, seemingly absent-minded.

"Mr. Chen, sorry to have kept you waiting." Xiang Yu walked into the room with Yan Jin and others, with a spring breeze on his face. "This is the person in charge of the project, Mr. Yan."

Investor Chen then put down his teacup and cast a sharp gaze on Yan Jin, with a look of scrutiny: "Mr. Yan, I've heard of your name for a long time. I heard that your project has made a major breakthrough recently?"

Yan Jin looked calm as he handed a document to Investor Chen: "Mr. Chen, this is our latest experimental report. You can take a look at it first."

Investor Chen took the report but did not read it immediately. Instead, he asked with interest, "I would like to see it with my own eyes. Is it convenient?"

Yan Jin was well prepared and smiled confidently, "Of course, we have already arranged it. Please follow me."

An hour later, Investor Chen stood in the company's laboratory and witnessed the demonstration of the new technology with his own eyes. A hint of surprise finally appeared on his face, which had been calm before.

"Excellent!" Investor Chen praised. "I approve of the technology and the market prospects are also quite promising."

Hearing the affirmation from investor Chen, the R&D staff in the laboratory showed joyful expressions. After several months of hard research, they were finally recognized.

Yan Jin remained calm, she knew that this was only the first step to success.

Sure enough, Investor Chen changed his tone and became serious: "However, risks and benefits are equal. This technology has a long research and development cycle and huge investment. I need to see more guarantees."

Xiang Yu immediately said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, we will do everything we can to ensure the smooth progress of the project."

Investor Chen waved his hand and took out a document from his briefcase: "This is my revised investment agreement, please take a look."

Yan Jin took the agreement, quickly glanced through it, and his face gradually darkened.

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing..." Xiang Yu also noticed the changes in the content of the agreement and frowned slightly.

"It's very simple. I want to increase my control over the project, including personnel appointments and dismissals, selection of technical routes, etc." Investor Chen's tone was flat, but unquestionable.

The air seemed to freeze. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Chen, forgive me for being frank..." Yan Jin took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Chen, forgive me for being blunt," Yan Jin took a deep breath and spoke slowly. Although his tone was light, it was firm and unquestionable. "The conditions you proposed have exceeded the scope of normal investment. It is more like a disguised acquisition. This technology is the hard work of our team. We have confidence in it and have the responsibility to protect its future."

Xiang Yu nodded and took over the conversation. "Mr. Chen, we understand that you want to protect your investment returns, but the conditions you proposed have touched our bottom line. We are willing to negotiate on the investment ratio, dividend method, etc., but we will not give up the leading position of the project."

Investor Chen seemed to have expected that they would refuse. He did not show much surprise on his face. He just smiled faintly and said, "Young man, it is good to be bold, but you must also act within your means. Without my financial support, how can you compete with those giants? In the end, you will only end up in failure."

"We will bear the consequences of our success or failure." Yan Jin said firmly, without giving in. "We believe that with the strength of this team and our dedication to technology, even without your investment, we can find other partners and forge our own path!"

The atmosphere at the negotiation table was tense. Investor Chen put down the teacup in his hand, making a slight sound that was particularly harsh in the silent room. He stood up, walked to the French window, overlooking the busy city, and said meaningfully: "I hope you won't regret your decision today." After that, he turned and left, leaving only an indifferent back.

After watching Investor Chen leave, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu's expressions became solemn. They knew the importance of control. Once they lost control of the project, all their hard work would go to waste.

"What should we do now?" R&D backbone Zhao Gong couldn't help asking, with a hint of anxiety in his tone. Since the project started, he has invested all his efforts in it. If it fails in the end due to funding problems, he cannot accept it.

Different opinions also emerged within the company. Some people thought that they should compromise with reality and accept the conditions of investor Chen, after all, funds are the key to the success of the project; others supported the decision of Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, believing that they should stick to their principles and stick to their bottom line.

"I believe in the judgment of Mr. Yan and Mr. Xiang." Technical expert Lin was the first to stand up and express his support. "This technology is the result of our years of hard work. We can't sell out our future for the sake of immediate benefits!"

"That's right!" Another R&D staff member also echoed, "We have the technology and the team. As long as we persevere, we will definitely find other investors!"

Facing the pressure and doubts from within the company, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu did not waver. They knew very well that this was a game of capital and a battle of wills.

Late at night, the lights in the office were still on. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu stood side by side in front of the window, looking at the flashing neon lights in the distance. The hustle and bustle of the city seemed to be isolated outside the glass, and only silence remained in the room.

"It seems that we have found the fulcrum to change the situation." Yan Jin broke the silence, with a hint of fatigue in his tone, but more of determination.

Xiang Yu nodded slightly. He knew what Yan Jin was referring to. Although Investor Chen was aggressive at the negotiation table, his desire and ambition for new technology were revealed to them without reservation.

"He will come back." Xiang Yu said firmly. He knew that a shrewd businessman like Investor Chen would never give up such a piece of "fat meat" easily.

The next day, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu started looking for new investors. They sorted out the project information, contacted some powerful investment institutions in the industry, and introduced the advantages and prospects of the project to them.

At the same time, they did not give up communicating with investor Chen. They revised the cooperation plan and made greater concessions on the investment ratio and dividend distribution method while ensuring the dominant position in the project.

Time was running out, and Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were running back and forth between various meeting rooms and negotiation tables almost every day. They were under tremendous pressure, but they always believed that as long as they persisted, they would definitely find a breakthrough.

A turning point came at an industry forum a week later. Yan Jin was invited as a company representative to give a keynote speech on new technologies. Her confident and professional performance, as well as her accurate analysis of the technology prospects, won applause from everyone present.

After the presentation, many investors came up to express their strong interest in the project. They handed over their business cards, hoping to have a deeper exchange with Yan Jin and Xiang Yu.

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu seized this opportunity. They warmly received every potential investor, answered their questions in detail, and demonstrated the project's core technology and future plans.

After the forum, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu received more than a dozen letters of intent for investment, which undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm and also added bargaining chips for the subsequent negotiations.

At this time, Investor Chen appeared again. He took the initiative to contact Xiang Yu, and his tone was less arrogant than before, and more negotiable: "Mr. Xiang, I think we can talk again..."

The change in Investor Chen's attitude gave Xiang Yu and Yan Jin hope. They understood that this was not a compromise, but a rational choice after the two sides had negotiated. When they walked into the meeting room again, the atmosphere was obviously much more relaxed. Investor Chen smiled and gestured for them to sit down.

"It seems that this forum has allowed Mr. Chen to see the potential of our project." Yan Jin sat down gracefully, his tone calm but with a hidden edge.

Investor Chen smiled heartily, "Mr. Yan's speech was indeed wonderful, and it gave me a deeper understanding of this project. To be honest, I have high hopes for this project, but..." He paused, his eyes swept over Xiang Yu and Yan Jin, "As a business, I need to be responsible for my investment."

Xiang Yu took over the conversation, "We understand Mr. Chen's concerns. The new cooperation plan has been revised and improved. On the premise of ensuring the development direction of the project, we are willing to make greater concessions in investment proportion and dividend distribution method."

At the negotiation table, the two sides exchanged sharp words. Yan Jin had clear thinking and rigorous logic, and analyzed the advantages and risks of the project incisively and vividly. Xiang Yu showed a strong aura and negotiation skills, giving investor Chen enough pressure and temptation at the critical moment.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the conference room changed, from the initial tension to a gradual relaxation and finally to a delicate balance.

Eventually, Investor Chen gave in. He agreed to increase his investment but did not demand too much control. He knew that a team like Yan Jin and Xiang Yu was the key to the success of the project.

"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Xiang Yu shook hands with investor Chen, both of them showing satisfied smiles on their faces.

After seeing off Investor Chen, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu returned to the office. The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the room through the French windows, making their figures look particularly slender.

"Next, it's the talent." Yan Jin broke the silence, with a hint of fatigue in his tone, but more of determination.

Xiang Yu nodded. He knew that a new battle had just begun. He picked up his phone and called his assistant...
