Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

In comparison, he only inherited the family business to get to where he is today, which made him feel a little inferior. But more importantly, he felt unprecedented challenges and opportunities.

Zhou Qi actually reached a cooperation with the Li family. This news was unbelievable at first.

But considering Zhou Qi's strength and the fact that Hualong Tengao did have project cooperation with the Li family, especially the case in Guang Province, all this seems reasonable.

The Fei family is simply no match in this regard.

Now, Fei Boxiang realized that he had lost the dominant position. He knew clearly that if he rejected Zhou Qi's proposal, the cooperation negotiations might end there.

Because Zhou Qi’s attitude is already very clear.

Fei Boxiang was silent for a moment and then said: "Mr. Zhou is indeed an outstanding person. I can feel your sincerity, and I personally hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you.

But Lao Fengxiang is my Fei family's company after all, and I cannot make arbitrary decisions when it comes to equity issues. I hope Mr. Zhou can give me some time to discuss with other shareholders."

This is half true and half false. As the chairman of Lao Fengxiang, Fei Boxiang actually has unilateral decision-making power.

It's just that at this moment his heart was full of contradictions, and he needed more time to weigh the pros and cons.

Zhou Qi smiled and responded: "That's natural. The raw stone is still in transit, and it will take some time to arrive."

At this time, Xing Zheshen interrupted with a smile:

"My dear Zhou, I wanted to invite you to my house yesterday. If you don't mind, why don't you come over and sit with me now? I also want to take another look at the rough stone later."

Zhou** understood what Elder Xing was thinking and replied, "Then I'm sorry to bother Elder Xing."

"Don't mention disturbing me. I'm so glad you came."

As Mr. Xing spoke, he stood up with a cane. Zhou Qi hurried forward to support him. After a few pleasantries, he left with Mr. Xing, and the Fei Boxiang brothers did not see him off.

After Zhou Qi and his group left, Fei Wenbo hesitated for a moment and said to Fei Boxiang:

"We in Lao Fengxiang have never had a situation where outsiders hold original shares. I don't think my second uncle and his people would agree to use shares as a condition for cooperation."

Fei Boxiang nodded in agreement. The elders in his family had traditional ideas. It was difficult for Lao Fengxiang to go public in the first place, let alone giving the shares to individuals now.

After hesitating for a moment, Fei Boxiang asked Fei Wenbo: "What do you think of this cooperation?"

Fei Wenbo frowned and thought, then replied, “This young man has given me too many surprises.

At first I thought he was good at antiques, but when I saw his business plan, I realized that antiques and rough stones were just icing on the cake for him. "

"The combination of entertainment, physical, and freight shows that he is very foresighted. No wonder he has grown so rapidly."

“This guy has great business sense, and if we don’t work with him, we’re pushing him into the hands of our competitors.

Once he joins forces with other brands, we will face fierce competition even if we do not expand overseas markets.”

“It’s hard to say whether we can maintain our position.”

Fei Wenbo's thoughtful expression showed that he also realized this:

Choosing Zhou Qi as a strategic partner or a potential rival is a crucial decision.

This is not a situation where one can make an easy decision.

If Lao Fengxiang chooses not to cooperate with Zhou Qi this time, he will definitely turn to invest in other domestic jewelry brands. If this is the case, it will definitely pose a considerable threat to Lao Fengxiang.

Nowadays, competition in the domestic jewelry market is becoming increasingly fierce, and Hong Kong brands have long been eyeing the mainland market, but they have not acted rashly because of the stability and fierce competition in the domestic market.

However, now that Zhou Qi, a mainland business tycoon, has joined with many influential companies, it is like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, which is bound to cause huge waves in the jewelry market.

Fei Boxiang understood that if he used the plan he had just proposed to deal with Lao Fengxiang, although it might succeed, the cost would be extremely heavy.

Therefore, this matter must be done quickly and confidentially.

Once the jewelers in Hong Kong know of Zhou Qi's existence, they may be willing to offer a higher share - perhaps even thirty percent.

After realizing this, Fei Boxiang decided to take action.

"Help me contact my second uncle and the others. We need to hold an emergency shareholders meeting."

He said to Fei Wenbo. Fei Wenbo nodded and immediately called to make arrangements. Fei Boxiang hesitated for a moment and called Li Zihong in Gangcheng.

At this time, Zhou Qi and his two companions were driving to Xing Zheshen's home.

In the car, Qiao Xuying asked Zhou Qi why he wanted Lao Fengxiang's shares, and mentioned that as far as she knew, the Fei family had never allowed outsiders to hold shares.

Zhou Qi replied with a smile, thinking that the Fei family should be more worried that he would put forward more conditions.

Du Qianqian added that Zhou Qi's choice seemed to be a threat to the Fei family, but she was curious why he chose Lao Fengxiang.

Zhou Qi explained that in addition to supporting state-owned brands, he also saw the potential of Lao Fengxiang to actively expand into the international market, which is more dynamic and driving than those brands that already have a certain overseas market foundation.

Obviously, Zhou Qi chose Lao Fengxiang not only for emotional reasons, but also to use it as a pioneer in opening up the international market.

The three finally arrived at Mr. Xing's home, an old house with a deep courtyard.

There is a big tree in the courtyard, under which there is a rocking chair and a stone table with a chess board carved on it, and next to it is a wooden box with chess pieces. All of this looks particularly peaceful and harmonious.

The courtyard is dotted with flowers and plants, and a few birds occasionally sing, making clear and pleasant sounds.

There are three houses surrounding the building, which are simple and clean. There are only round tables and wooden chairs inside. There are no excessive luxurious decorations, and the beauty of simplicity is revealed everywhere.

Living here are Mr. Xing and his two elders - an old woman and an old man, who are responsible for taking care of Mr. Xing's daily life.

As for Mr. Xing's family background, he never mentioned it, and Zhou Qi didn't want to ask more.

"My young friend Zhou Qi, what do you think of this place?" Xing Fushen asked with a smile.

"It's very comfortable, as if you are in a paradise." Zhou Qi responded with a smile.

Xing Fushen laughed: "You, young man, always know how to talk."

Then he enthusiastically invited Zhou Qi to visit his collection.

"Come, let me show you something special."

These collections were rarely shown to others, and only a few old friends had the opportunity to see them occasionally. This shows that Xing Fushen had a special appreciation for Zhou Qi.

The four of them walked into a side room, passed through the simply furnished space, and came to a locked door.

Behind the door is a room filled with wooden cabinets and shelves. Each layer is covered with red cloth, and raw stones of various sizes and shapes are neatly arranged.

At first glance, you can feel their unique charm.

Xing Fushen pointed to a fist-sized rough stone and said: "This stone has been with me for a long time. It is a commemoration of my first successful jade cutting.

Even though it was just a sticky rice dumpling, the joy I felt was unforgettable and even made me so excited that I couldn’t sleep for two nights.”
