"I know this person, but only just know him,"
"The Song family's indecision before was because of him."
"He's a coal boss from Jin Province, and he controls a lot of capital."
"Did you ask him how much of a stake he's interested in?"
After a moment of thought, Yu Zhou directly asked Liang Xiaohai, as this was well within his consideration.
If it was within 5%, then it wouldn't matter to him. In fact, after careful consideration, there was a possibility he might agree.
After all, he didn't need powerful funding, and offending such a boss with huge cash flow would not be a good thing.
However, he had to firmly control the shares.
At the very least, he had to hold onto the initiative.
Otherwise, Yu Zhou knew without even thinking that once the factory developed and stabilized, this boss, who had little to do with him, would unhesitatingly kick him out.
Was this something Yu Zhou could accept? Of course not.
He might have the idea of withdrawing, or starting his own business later, but that didn't mean he was willing to be kicked out.
Moreover, would he even get enough money if he was kicked out? He didn't even need to think about it to know the answer.
It was definitely not what he wanted, so he would not compromise when he couldn't.
"I knew you'd ask this, so I did ask."
"Guess how much of a stake he wants?"
As soon as he heard this, a wry smile appeared on Liang Xiaohai's face.
Clearly, even he felt a strong sense of threat at this moment.
Had he not heard of coal bosses from Jin Province? Of course he had. These people were notorious for being overbearing in business.
Whatever they wanted, they would get. If they couldn't get it, they would even spend money to create something exactly like it.
Sometimes, these people didn't do business to make money, because their cash was beyond imagination, and they just wanted to save face.
Opposing such a lawless boss was definitely not something that would bring you peace of mind.
Therefore, Yu Zhou knew very well that if possible, he would absolutely not want to fall out with such a boss.
"Seeing your expression, I know a lot. Tell me, maybe I'll consider it."
In fact, Yu Zhou had no hope. What was a characteristic of coal bosses? It was greed.
Although they were generous with their money, when it came to doing business and investing, if you gave them shares, they would never agree.
So, even if the other party didn't say it, Yu Zhou could guess that in such a situation, they had no choice but to refuse.
As expected, Liang Xiaohai said with a bitter smile, "He wants 35% of the shares. Honestly, before you said he was a coal boss from Jin Province, I really didn't know where he got his courage."
"But now I understand. It would be strange if such a person didn't want more shares."
Look at this! Yu Zhou almost rolled his eyes out of his head.
Didn't he know that it was best not to offend such an entity?
He knew very well, but even knowing that, he absolutely could not accept this outcome.
That someone would take a fancy to his [Three Horses] company might be considered his good fortune in the eyes of many.
But under these circumstances, Yu Zhou really couldn't agree.
Because once this stake was given, the company would have no control whatsoever.
And these coal bosses were crude and rough in their dealings. If you refused, you knew without thinking that they would definitely be furious, and if they caused any trouble, it wouldn't be something he could control.
Why was it that every time he started a company, someone was always after him?
Yu Zhou wasn't afraid of those who played dirty, because he had people behind him, especially his brother-in-law, plus two families, he wasn't afraid of anything.
But if someone openly challenged him, and with the premise of spending money like that, Yu Zhou really couldn't say he didn't care.
Thinking carefully, what method could be used to avoid this?
Well, Yu Zhou couldn't think of any other solution in the short term.
After all, in his situation, even if some trouble arose, his backers wouldn't be able to interfere.
Under such circumstances, Yu Zhou was naturally unwilling, but being unwilling, what could he think of?
Yu Zhou thought about these things carefully, but found that he had no way to deal with normal overwhelming force.
He didn't have the power of money. Even if he wanted to solve some problems, he couldn't compare to those who had enough money and didn't care about spending it.
Suddenly, Yu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he thought of a way.
Even if this method didn't work, it would be good to inquire about the other party's background.
With this thought, Yu Zhou seemed to understand something. Indeed, he still didn't understand their industry.
Perhaps, things that were very important in his eyes were not even a big deal to them?
With this thought, Yu Zhou's eyes lit up.
Since things had developed to this point, it wasn't a bad thing to ask.
So he picked up his bulky mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hello! Who is it?"
A hearty voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yu Zhou said who he was, and in the next second, the other end of the phone clearly froze.
"Oh? It's you! Little brother, I've been waiting for your call."
"I don't have your contact information, and I'm dying of anxiety."
The person Yu Zhou called was a friend he had met in Wanghai before, named Chen Aiguo.
This man was also a coal boss from Jin Province.
From his demeanor before, he seemed to be a big boss. He wondered if he knew about that person named Jia Xinmin.
So, Yu Zhou didn't beat around the bush and started talking about his matter.
