Yu Zhou had anticipated that Jia Xinmin would contact him before Chen Aiguo made any moves.
However, even so, he had not expected that their communication would come in such a manner, attempting to forcefully dominate the entire company with extreme arrogance.
Generally, in the business world, any boss with long-term planning, when intending to acquire a company, would present themselves in a humble and respectful demeanor.
This doesn't mean that competition or arrogance wouldn't appear; at the very least, when facing a large company for the first time, everyone would adopt a more serious attitude.
But, according to Tang Long's account, it was entirely different.
The first time they came knocking, they were so arrogant. This didn't seem like they wanted to acquire his company at all.
As a result, even after returning to the company, Yu Zhou's confusion was still clearly evident on his face.
He couldn't figure out what the other party wanted, but he had a strong premonition that this matter would not be as simple as he imagined.
Even though he still had other thoughts in his mind, as soon as he entered, his expression became slightly more serious. He knew that going there would inevitably lead to conflict, but at this moment, Yu Zhou was almost hoping for a confrontation.
Only then could he extract some useful information from Mr. Jia.
"Where are they? You took them to the conference room again?"
As soon as he entered the factory premises, Yu Zhou saw Liang Xiaohai waiting for him. Without any pleasantries, Yu Zhou immediately asked.
"No, this time it's in the reception room. That Mr. Jia is truly too arrogant."
"I think we might really have to suffer this time."
He began to explain the situation to Yu Zhou in detail. If nothing was done, the final outcome would be hard to predict.
Moreover, they had already come to his doorstep. Could he really avoid them if he wanted to?
Regardless, this matter was difficult to handle and resolve, so Yu Zhou could only face it, pushing himself to do so.
"The more arrogant they are, the more they act like they've got us cornered. This makes the matter even more peculiar."
"Logically speaking, a big boss like that, unless he's out of his mind, would never have such an attitude when facing us?"
"[Three Horses] is not a small company anymore. If they genuinely wanted to invest, their attitude would definitely not be like this."
"There must be something else going on that we don't know about."
Yu Zhou frowned as he walked towards the reception room. He knew in his heart that some things couldn't be avoided, even if he buried his head in the sand.
"Are you Yu Zhou, the boss of [Three Horses] Company?"
As soon as he entered, Jia Xinmin saw Yu Zhou walking at the forefront and a slight curve appeared on his lips.
His demeanor seemed mocking, yet as if he had already prepared for this.
Regardless, from the very beginning, it gave Yu Zhou a very bad feeling, causing him to frown instantly.
"You are Mr. Jia, the boss of Shanxi Energy Enterprise, aren't you?"
"I don't recall having any grudges or past collaborations with you, Mr. Jia?"
Yu Zhou appeared very normal. Although the confusion in his heart had reached a point where he couldn't explain it himself,
Since they had already come to his door, under such circumstances, even if he knew it was a huge trouble, could he simply make the trouble disappear?
He felt a sense of indignation. After all, he was a relatively well-known entrepreneur.
However, on the surface, Yu Zhou's expression only showed a hint of discomfort, with no major conflict evident on his face.
"I'm here to invest in your company. Your company isn't doing well. Is this the attitude you show to investors?"
Jia Xinmin seemed to be deliberately provoking him. After glancing at Yu Zhou, he chuckled.
The way he held his teacup and acted without any pretense made Yu Zhou utterly uncomfortable.
It was as if someone had suddenly appeared in your shop and told you that the shop was now his.
And he did so without any reason or explanation.
Wasn't this a bully?
Even though Yu Zhou considered his composure to be quite good, at this moment, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He truly hadn't expected that this so-called coal boss would be so arrogant.
He considered himself a boss with a net worth of millions. Although not on the same level as Mr. Jia, in this era, such a net worth could certainly achieve many things, right?
This was his attitude? The implication that his presence here was a favor to you? Wouldn't anyone find this unacceptable?
"Mr. Jia, if I recall correctly, I don't believe I've disseminated any information about seeking investment."
"You didn't have to come in person, but are you trying to force a sale on me?"
Yu Zhou knew that a conflict would erupt between them.
But he hadn't expected the conflict to escalate so quickly.
He had only said a single sentence, and now the other party was turning his attention to his entire company.
Any boss with ambition and vision would never tolerate this.
Setting aside the fact that you are acting like you're forcing a sale, I would never sell you shares.
Even if you managed to acquire my shares through some means, I could later manipulate the situation to render them worthless.
In the business world, you can be arrogant about whatever intentions you have.
But you cannot bully people like this.
And you're bullying his company, which has nearly three hundred employees.
"What's wrong with forced buying and selling?"
"I've done plenty of forced buying and selling when I was mining."
"Also, I have a way to make you willingly sell it to me."
Jia Xinmin, while sipping tea, seemed completely unconcerned about Yu Zhou's emotions. He slowly sipped his tea, not even showing much interest in glancing at Yu Zhou.
Yu Zhou was filled with questions. What did he mean by having a way to make him willingly sell?
No matter how foolish he was, he knew this was his company. In this situation, would he willingly sell to someone so arrogant? Would he still be able to do business?
"What? Seeing you like this, you don't believe me?"
Jia Xinmin's expression was playful. You had to admit, his current expression was indeed quite formidable.
