Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 279 Turning enemies into friends
The next morning, just as Zhang Hao was about to go home, he suddenly received an invitation from Wang Yongjian. After thinking about it, he finally went to the appointment on time full of doubts.

Since it was close to lunch time, the meeting place was unsurprisingly chosen in a private club, so that the two parties could chat while eating.

In the past year, with the disappearance of private restaurants, this kind of higher-end private clubs has taken advantage of the trend and quickly swept the entire Federation.

Led by the beautiful waitress, Zhang Hao soon met Wang Yongjian. The other party was wearing a black suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and he had a calm demeanor.

Although the old man is over 70 years old, he is still in good spirits, and he does not show any signs of aging.

"Zhang Dong, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Wang Yongjian leaned on a cane and greeted warmly.

Zhang Hao stepped forward and grasped the opponent's hand: "Wang Dong, I have admired you for a long time. My father told me many legendary stories about you since I was a child. I didn't expect to meet you in person today. It is a great honor."

"Zhang Dong, you are too polite. I have long heard that there is a hero among the younger generation. When I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." Wang Yongjian said politely.

"Compared with you, it's far behind!"

Zhang Hao said modestly.

After some courtesies, the two sat down respectively.

The table in front of him was covered with a clean white tablecloth, and a few flowers were inserted beside it, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

Wang Yongjian picked up the menu casually and handed it to Zhang Hao: "Zhang Dong, the seafood here is quite famous, you can order whatever you want."

Zhang Hao took the menu, flipped through it casually, ordered a dish of pan-fried cod, and a dish of fried noodles with shrimp, and then looked up to the opposite side:
"Wang Dong, what about you? What would you like to eat?"

Wang Yongjian didn't answer directly, instead he frowned and asked with concern: "Mr. Zhang, why did you order two dishes? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no, two dishes are enough, I don't like waste."

Zhang Hao quickly explained.

"It's rare, it's so rare. Young people nowadays rarely have a hard-working and simple character. Just say that my family's grandchildren usually spend a lot of money, and a meal costs tens of thousands of dollars. "

Wang Yongjian looked at the person in front of him with relief.

Zhang Hao smiled modestly, and then suggested: "Wang Dong, do you want some seafood porridge? Seafood porridge nourishes the stomach."

"Okay, then let's have a bowl of seafood porridge! I don't want anything else. I'm old and I have a small appetite. As you said, it's a waste if you can't finish it."

Wang Yongjian chose to be kind.

"If you can't get enough porridge, how about another dish?"

Zhang Hao couldn't help persuading.

Wang Yongjian waved his hands again and again: "It's really unnecessary. I usually only have a bowl of porridge at home, or half a bowl of rice."

"That's all, wait until there is not enough."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he nodded to the waiter.

The waiter repeated the name of the dish, and then reminded softly: "Please wait a moment, both of you, there are a lot of customers today, and it may be about ten minutes late."

Since the auction was held, the major clubs in Pearl City are full every day. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to reserve seats one or two days in advance.

"It's okay, just don't delay too late."

Wang Yongjian waved his hand.

After the waiter left, the two didn't immediately get down to business, but chatted about gossiping.

Zhang Hao briefly talked about his entrepreneurial experience in the past two years, and introduced the companies under his name to the other party, as well as his future development plans.

Uncharacteristically, Wang Yongjian showed great interest in Shuguang New Energy Company.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao casually joked: "Wang Dong, if you are really optimistic about Shuguang Company, how about I transfer some shares to you?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Yongjian nodded excitedly:
"Chairman Zhang is willing to part with you?"

Zhang Hao was a little surprised: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, don't you want to, Mr. Zhang?"

"No, it's just a little... accidental..."

Wang Yongjian laughed loudly: "Mr. Zhang, don't have to worry about it. You must know that we, Wansu, are in the energy industry, and we are no strangers to controllable nuclear fusion."

"This is controllable nuclear fusion, and it may not be put into commercial use in another 100 years."

Zhang Hao quickly reminded.

Wang Yongjian shook his head indifferently, and said earnestly: "Mr. Zhang, if it was a normal year, I would definitely not choose to invest in controllable nuclear fusion. As we all know, the risks involved are too great.

But today is different from the past. I think 'controllable nuclear fusion' is the only way to solve the current crisis, and it is also the hope of everyone in the Federation. Now is not the time to care about the rate of return, but it must be done.

I, Mr. Wang, is not talented. Although half of my body is about to fall into the ground, I am willing to do my part for future generations and do what I can. "

Zhang Hao immediately stood in awe, and bowed his hands at the other party: "Wang Dong Gaoyi, you are really admirable!"

"I'm sorry, money is something that you don't bring with you when you are born or die. At my age, everything has already been taken care of. I also ask Dong Zhang to fulfill my little wish." Wang Yongjian pleaded.

"Where is it? Since Wang Dong insists on it, whether it is public or private, I have no reason to object."

Zhang Hao nodded with a smile.

I didn't find this appointment, and there was a surprise.

For the sale of shares, he wished to raise his hands and feet in favor, this is a good time to cash out.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine!"

Wang Yongjian put on an overjoyed look.

Zhang Hao took a sip of tea, and then introduced: "Wang Dong, there are currently three shareholders in Shuguang New Energy Company, and the Eastern Academy of Sciences and I each hold [-]% of the shares, and the remaining [-]% belong to Zhucheng officials.

As for the fixed assets, the start-up capital was contributed by me personally, and I donated all the profits of Southeast Fishery, which is estimated to be 600 billion.

In addition, Zhucheng officially invested in New Science Island, which was formerly known as Qi'ao Island. Let's make up the total and directly calculate 3000 billion. What do you think? "

"No problem, it's fair."

Although he had made enough preparations in his heart, Wang Yongjian was still taken aback. As expected of a super project that can burn money, the investment is calculated on the basis of hundreds of billions.

"Well, how many shares do you want, Mr. Wang?" Zhang Hao followed up and asked.

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that although our Wansu Group is a big company, we've been spending too much money recently. We have limited liquidity and can only take over [-]% of the shares at most."

Wang Yongqing showed a bit of embarrassment.

He is indeed optimistic about the future of controllable nuclear fusion, and he is sincerely willing to make a big bet, but it is definitely not now, at least until there is a major breakthrough.

Zhang Hao concealed the little disappointment in his heart, and comforted him on the spot: "You don't have to worry about it, Dong Wang, [-]% of the shares is already a lot, tens of billions!"

When he got here, he finally reacted.

Mr. Ganqing Wang didn't really want to invest, but just wanted to find an opportunity to make friends with him. It was really well-intentioned to make such a big circle.

"Okay, so we're done?"

"It's a deal. If Director Wang is free, I'll take you to Shuguang Company for a visit."

Zhang Hao took the initiative to extend the invitation, appearing to be very enthusiastic, giving the other party enough face.

Wang Yongjian nodded with a smile: "It just so happens that I'm free these two days, anytime."

"Then the day after tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, I will come and pick you up in person."

Zhang Hao thought about it, this matter should not be delayed, lest the other party regret it.

As for why not tomorrow?Because tomorrow is the day to transfer the ownership of the villa, there is no time at all.

"No problem, we'll see you the day after tomorrow!"

As soon as Wang Yongjian finished speaking, he saw the waiter pushing the dining car over. The two stopped chatting for a while and began to concentrate on the food.

……

After the meal, continue the previous chat.

Wang Yongjian picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said seemingly unintentionally, "Mr. Zhang, since Hezhong Energy is planning to buy back the Avingal Valley Coal Mine, do you have any plans for the future?"

For the sake of the 90 billion, Zhang Hao decided to disclose some real information. If the other party can really intercept the exploration rights of Tasmania Island, he will admit it.

"Wang Dong, you have rich experience, just help us to refer to it and see if there are any omissions?"

"Appreciate further details."

Wang Yongjian suddenly became serious.

"In fact, this is the case. What we are looking at is not the Avancingal Valley Coal Mine itself, but the prospecting rights in Tasmania. The Avingal Valley Coal Mine is at best just for us to practice."

"So, there are large coal mines on Tasmania?" Wang Yongjian was refreshed.

"It's not a big coal mine, it's a super coal mine."

Zhang Hao said mysteriously.

"Super coal mine? How big is it?"

Wang Yongjian quickly asked.

The 90 billion just now was really not in vain, and they actually found out such a big inside story.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "How big is it? We don't know, but according to relevant data analysis, it should not be smaller than Carmichael Coal Mine."

"More than 200 billion tons? Is it really that big?"

Wang Yongjian swallowed unconsciously.

"Not too big."

"What if the information is wrong? After all, the coal mine is buried underground, and the gods can't see it."

Zhang Hao smiled and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter if you don't have one. There are still more coal mines on the other side waiting for us to develop. As long as the funds are in place, I'm afraid there will be no chance?"

"What a lot of courage!"

Wang Yongjian finally understands the overall plan. No wonder Hezhong Energy is so calm. It turns out that there are backers.

"Wang Dong, I wonder if you have heard of an internal report? It's about the Yellowstone volcano."

Zhang Hao probed in a low voice.

Wang Yongjian nodded calmly: "I've heard that, I was a little skeptical at first, but now I see your big formation, I don't believe it."

"Hey, Wang Dong, it's not that I'm pessimistic. Even if this report is discounted, it will be dark for decades. Needless to say, you understand what this means. Energy will only become more and more important as you go forward. "

Zhang Hao expressed his worries.

Wang Yongjian was thoughtful, followed by curiosity:
"Dong Zhang told me this, so you are not afraid that I will compete with you for the prospecting rights?"

"Not afraid!"

Zhang Hao shook his head, threatening intentionally or unintentionally:

"I'm not afraid to tell you that if you make any unfriendly actions on your side, it doesn't matter if you offend me. I was originally dragged into the company by Governor Li.

But if Governor Li and President Ma are offended, they will never let it go. You will definitely have to pay the price, so please be mentally prepared. "

"Really? Can Zhang Dong give me a suggestion?" Wang Yongjian asked along the way.

"Suggestion?" Zhang Hao bowed his head and thought about it for five or six minutes, and finally said: "Business is all about harmony and wealth, since both of us are here to make money, why not just cooperate together, I am confident to help you convince Mr. Ma and the others. "

"Cooperation? How to cooperate?"

"It's very simple. If you invest in the Yaffengale Valley Coal Mine, we will be a family from now on."

Wang Yongjian was a little moved, so he carefully probed: "The market value of the Avingal Valley Coal Mine is close to 400 billion. If it is converted into shares, then wouldn't I become the largest shareholder? President Ma and the others have no objection?"

"Wang Dong, please forgive me, the Avingal Valley coal mine is completely hyped up, the price is inflated, and 700 billion is its normal valuation."

Zhang Hao corrected.

"No, no, 700 billion is too bad."

Wang Yongjian shook his head again and again.

This price is lower than the normal market value.

"Wang Dong, you can't just look at the superficial loss, 700 billion... You are also the largest shareholder, so I don't need to talk about the benefits?" Zhang Hao bewitched.

Wang Yongjian is not easy to fool: "I can agree, but you must agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Without my consent, capital increase and share expansion are not allowed. Otherwise, with the economic strength of Mr. Ma and the others, they can dilute our shares without any effort."

"Wang Dong, this condition is definitely not good. In order to fight against those state-owned giants, capital increase is necessary. To tell you the truth, my side has long been prepared to be diluted."

Zhang Hao shook his head.

"Then I can't suffer in vain, right? This is a small 600 billion, isn't it a small number?"

Wang Yongjian felt unwilling.

Zhang Hao persuaded patiently: "I just did the calculation for you. If you invest in the Yaffengale Valley Coal Mine, you will occupy 23% of the shares at once, which is almost twice that of the second largest shareholder. , such a big advantage, isn’t it worth a mere 600 billion?”

"Zhang Dong, don't paint cakes for me, I have bad teeth."

Wang Yongjian shook his head with a wry smile.

"How could it be a picture cake? Mr. Ma and the others are not monolithic. You have been in the business world for decades, so you need to be afraid of them?"

"I'm old, and I often can't sleep all night, not as good as you juniors."

Wang Yongjian said modestly.

Zhang Hao spread his hands: "Wang Dong, 700 billion is the bottom line, it's too much...I don't have the confidence to convince Mr. Ma and the others, you might as well go back and think about it."

"Zhang Dong, if I really become a shareholder of your company, I would like to ask, will you stand by my side?"

"Sorry!" Zhang Hao shook his head, "I have already promised Mr. Wang of Zhengwei Group that I will fully support him, and you can't just keep your promises."

"It's a pity!" Wang Yongjian was disappointed.

"It's nothing to be sorry about. If you successfully invest in the shares, my shares will only be [-]% and my influence is very limited." Zhang Hao waved his hand.

Wang Yongjian immediately returned a meaningful smile: "Mr. Zhang, you underestimated your influence too much. From the year before last to the present, too many miracles have been born on you. I think this is also the main reason why Governor Li recruited you to join the gang." .”
