Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 377 - 341: Same Old Ways, Still Reckless (Part 2)
"Enough!"
Bai Zhengxiang hastily interjected, stopping Tan Qianmei from speaking further.
Tan Qianmei frowned, not accustomed to her husband being so stern, and reluctantly held her tongue.
Yin Shixiu maintained a calm demeanor, "Mrs. Bai is right. In today’s society, the sense of trust between people is indeed quite fragile, and it’s wise to be cautious."
Su Xiaomeng glanced up again, thinking that Yin Shixiu was genuinely in a good mood today.
He even took the initiative to give Bai Zhengxiang and his wife a way to defuse the awkwardness...
Bai Fengmao got a tambourine for the servant and started playing with Shuangshuang.
He didn’t bother with the situation over here at all.
Seeing Bai Fengmao’s indifferent attitude, Bai Zhengxiang knew his father would not intervene or use Yijing Manor as collateral to back him.
He couldn’t discern the sincerity in Yin Shixiu’s words, only thinking...
Even though Yin Shixiu might not be a saint, his little sister... would never harm her brother.
Thus, he started to explain the company’s predicament to Yin Shixiu.
The matter is straightforward. When this project was initiated, a five-year budget was thoroughly planned.
However, there was a mistake during the research and development phase, and a substantial investment went to waste.
But Bai Zhengxiang did not give up. Now that the R&D is successful, during the trial phase, the launch and promotion phases were repeatedly postponed due to the partner’s withdrawal of funds and the global financial crisis.
The concept, research, and production of new energy vehicles are undoubtedly feasible.
Besides Bai Zhengxiang’s work in this field, other automotive companies are also leaning toward it.
If someone else seizes the opportunity first, it would indeed be a significant loss.
Yin Shixiu sat on a single sofa, with his legs crossed and fingers tapping lightly...
Su Xiaomeng felt an illusion, as if this was not her grandfather’s living room but a large conference room of the Yin Group.
"The new energy vehicle industry will indeed have great development prospects in the future. Mr. Bai is right, if your own R&D results are released by other peers first, it is indeed a big loss."
Bai Zhengxiang pursed his lips, "I wonder if Mr. Yin could help me with this? I know it’s somewhat abrupt and a bit... shameless."
He glanced at Bai Sixian...
Bai Sixian understood what his big brother was thinking at this moment...
"Helping Mr. Bai is not impossible. I just have two conditions; the more decisively Mr. Bai agrees to them, the more decisively I, Yin Shixiu, will help."
Bai Zhengxiang looked at Yin Shixiu, "You really are willing to help me?"
"As I said, I have two conditions."
Su Xiaomeng was unsure of Yin Shixiu’s intentions. She didn’t understand business matters anyway.
If he could really help Bai Zhengxiang out of this urgent situation, then her big uncle perhaps wouldn’t trouble her aging grandfather anymore?
"Mr. Yin, please go ahead."
"You just mentioned that the project funding chain was broken due to your partner’s withdrawal, correct?"
"Yes, that’s correct."
"So my first condition is, I’m not lending you money, but becoming your partner, investing in the project, and I want forty percent of the future profits."
"Forty percent?! Isn’t that too greedy?"
Tan Qianmei couldn’t hold back, her eyes widened in exclamation!
Yin Shixiu ignored Tan Qianmei and simply looked at Bai Zhengxiang, asking, "If Mr. Bai cannot agree to this request, then there’s no need to discuss the second condition—"
"I agree. Mr. Yin, please tell me the second condition."
Bai Zhengxiang remained calm and ignored his wife’s anxious expression, seriously accepting Yin Shixiu’s terms.
Yin Shixiu seemed satisfied with Bai Zhengxiang’s attitude, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Su Xiaomeng caught a glimpse and couldn’t help but mutter: Can you tone down that triumphant expression? It looks rather sly.
"Second..."
Yin Shixiu put away the expression on his face and looked seriously at Bai Zhengxiang, "If it weren’t for my marriage to Xiao Meng, in terms of seniority and the friendship between the Yin and Bai families, I should be calling you big brother."
Bai Zhengxiang didn’t quite understand the purpose of Yin Shixiu’s current words.
"But even if I call you big brother, our friendship isn’t close enough for me to manage Bai Family matters, don’t you agree?"
"...Yes, Father and Mr. Yin are close, but... the younger generation of the Bai family and the Yin family aren’t that close."
"But now, I’m considered half a member of the Bai Family, calling you big uncle and Mrs. Bai, madam."
"Shixiu, just say what you mean, why beat around the bush?"
