From beginning to end, Jia Xinmin maintained an arrogant demeanor, as if his actions were perfectly normal and something that others had to accept, even if unwillingly.
To be honest, this kind of attitude and situation made Yu Zhou very uncomfortable.
Even if you were stronger than me, even if you had the ability to crush me, there was no need to be so arrogant from the start, was there?
It wasn't that Yu Zhou considered himself petty. It was simply that the person in front of him was acting so arrogantly that even Yu Zhou thought he must have some ulterior motive.
If that weren't the case, deliberately offending him wouldn't be a wise choice at all.
"What's going on? His condition is definitely not just the simple behavior of an ordinary boss."
"Having come this far, if you say he has no ulterior motive, no one would believe it. What exactly is his motive?"
Yu Zhou frowned and didn't respond immediately because he knew very well.
If he were to ask at this moment, he might not get an answer at all.
Given his behavior, if you said he had no other intentions, no one would believe it. In such a situation, could he easily break free?
"Boss Yu, I'll be direct! Thirty-five percent of the shares is my bottom line. I'm willing to invest two million, or I can directly acquire this stake from you."
Seeing Yu Zhou's silence, Jia Xinmin became even more triumphant.
In an instant, almost everyone from the companies present became extremely angry.
They hadn't considered that this person might have come to humiliate them.
Giving such a price in this situation clearly showed that he didn't take Yu Zhou seriously at all.
However, Yu Zhou couldn't understand why this boss named Jia Xinmin would treat him this way, as he believed he hadn't offended him at all.
Ordinary business competition is never just a matter of pride. If everyone were to act on their emotions and cause chaos, it's hard to imagine how bad the situation would become in the end.
Even a naturally wealthy boss would inevitably fall due to such actions.
"Two million? Boss Jia, if you want me to die, at least let me die with understanding."
Yu Zhou had no doubt that if this were a normal business competition, the consequences of not handing over shares to such a colossal entity would be severe.
It wasn't that the people behind him couldn't save him.
It was that through normal business tactics, even if he didn't fall into ruin, he would suffer immense losses.
Was this a situation and outcome Yu Zhou was willing to see? Of course not. It was precisely for this reason that, despite his anger, he forced himself to calm down.
It was obvious that this person had come to his company specifically to humiliate him. If he couldn't even maintain his composure in such a situation, then it would be strange.
"Boss, don't waste any more time talking nonsense with him. [San Pi Ma] is a company of over two thousand employees. It's not something that anyone can just trample on."
"If he's truly capable, then he shouldn't just be good with his words. We'll settle it in the field when the time comes."
"I refuse to believe that anyone can truly crush our unprecedentedly united company."
These words were spoken by the company's executives. Being humiliated like this, even they were filled with rage.
Since the company was founded, [San Pi Ma] had not had a smooth sailing journey, but at least it had been progressing steadily for so long.
They had even defeated the local powerful families in the Jiangbei region, forcing them to withdraw from Jiangbei.
So what if you're a formidable newcomer? They believed that with unity, even a formidable newcomer would find it difficult to crush them.
"Yes! Only by settling it in the field can one earn respect."
Even Liang Xiaohai was extremely angry at this moment.
He had encountered bosses who were too full of themselves before, but he had never encountered such an arrogant boss who made no attempt to hide it.
He disliked such people immensely, let alone the idea of them wanting to invest in his company.
Yu Zhou raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
His eyes remained fixed on the other man, as if waiting for his answer.
Finally, Jia Xinmin stopped pretending. Facing a boss he was about to crush, even if he had some ability, it wouldn't hurt to let him know what was happening before launching the attack, so he could die with some understanding.
After all, in his eyes, since he had set his sights on them, this Yu Zhou and the company [San Pi Ma] would either become his property or disappear from the face of the earth.
In either case, Yu Zhou would likely have little chance of surviving in the business world in the future.
"Do you think, why would I target you like this? And spare no effort?"
"Or rather, why wouldn't I stop until I completely take over your company?"
A hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, as if he was anticipating Yu Zhou's answer.
Could Yu Zhou know? Of course, he couldn't.
Even the simplest guess wouldn't lead to the answer.
Therefore, Yu Zhou's face twisted slightly as he frowned, because in his opinion, he had no intersection with the coal boss in front of him.
If there was any slight intersection, it was only that they both had some cooperation with the Song family.
Could this be the reason he was targeting him?
Seeing his current appearance, it seemed as if he didn't care about his company at all. Looking at it this way, it was indeed possible.
As if sensing a flicker of understanding in Yu Zhou's eyes, or perhaps knowing that he had thought of something,
Jia Xinmin finally spoke and gave the answer: "You're right."
"The reason I'm putting so much effort into dealing with you and bringing [San Pi Ma] into my fold is because you've started cooperating with the Song family."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhou's expression changed instantly.
He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected such an outcome.
Was Jia Xinmin an idiot? Just because he had started cooperating with the Song family, he had to bring him down?
What kind of logic was this?
