Several people acted very politely, and it was precisely this politeness that made Yu Zhou instinctively feel that the matter was not simple.
He opened the way and let these people into his home.
After personally pouring water and placing it in front of them, he said, "If I recall correctly, I shouldn't know any of you, right?"
"Since you all want to find me for cooperation, why didn't you go to the dried fruit factory? My family should have given you the address?"
He really couldn't understand why these people, knowing the location of his dried fruit factory, still didn't go there to find him.
Moreover, judging by their current demeanor, they seemed quite anxious. If it were something straightforward, Yu Zhou wouldn't believe it.
Yet, they were so eager, and before even discussing business, they started to engage in pleasantries in a seemingly formal manner, which made Yu Zhou even more uneasy.
"Actually, we don't have any other business coming here, we just want to talk about cooperation with Boss Yu."
"As for why we didn't go to the dried fruit factory, it's just a little inconvenient."
The middle-aged man at the head of the group still had a smiling face, but such a smile always made Yu Zhou's heart uneasy.
If they weren't plotting against him, they wouldn't be acting like this.
But what was it about him that attracted the attention of these bosses and even brought them to his doorstep? No wonder Yu Zhou couldn't figure it out. Their visit was too sudden and also gave him a sense of incomprehensibility.
"The dried fruit factory is inconvenient? Then the business you want to discuss likely has some relation to the dried fruit factory, right?"
Yu Zhou had finally figured it out. If it had nothing to do with the dried fruit factory, they would never have been lurking around his house.
So, what had they taken a liking to? The dried fruit factory? Or the sunflower seeds in his possession?
Well, these two were the crucial points he would absolutely not give up now, and he would never hand them over to anyone else.
However, if someone wanted to act as an agent or cooperate with him, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Therefore, after taking a sip of tea, Yu Zhou slowly said, "What kind of cooperation are we talking about? Since I'm already here."
"As long as it's beneficial to both parties, I have no reason not to agree."
He spoke with certainty, as he believed that even if some situations were abnormal, these people who came to him were definitely not simple.
It was best not to offend them if it could be avoided.
"Actually, our purpose in finding you is very simple: to enter the factory."
"As far as we know, although you have controlling shares in the dried fruit factory, you only hold fifty-one percent, right?"
"We can offer you a factory worth a million to exchange for your shares in the dried fruit factory."
"According to our information, the dried fruit factory only cost you seven to eight hundred thousand in total, and you only contributed half of that."
"This looks like a win-win cooperation model for both of us."
Finally, the boss at the head of the group revealed their intentions.
In an instant, Yu Zhou's brows furrowed.
Even though he had guessed earlier that they were after the dried fruit factory or the sunflower seeds.
He still hadn't expected their appetite to be so enormous.
Daring to pick the fruit before the dried fruit factory had even taken root was an act of boldness that made Yu Zhou somewhat apprehensive.
After all, in this world, no one would voluntarily seek trouble for themselves if they knew they would suffer a loss.
"You want my shares in the dried fruit factory? And you want to exchange them for a factory worth a million?"
Yu Zhou said, feigning surprise.
He knew very well what these people were after. He had already developed the sunflower seeds.
Not only that, but his partner in the dried fruit factory was someone with a significant background like Qin Siyue.
For this business, let alone a factory worth a million, even two million in cash would likely attract a crowd if Yu Zhou put the word out.
Setting aside whether the sunflower seeds, a product that hadn't yet been tested by the market, would become popular.
Just the status of Qin Siyue as a collaborator was worth two million, and that wasn't even considered a lot.
"Boss Yu, we have come with sincerity."
"A factory worth a million, no matter how you look at it, you've gained."
"So, what do you say about this deal?"
The man seemed somewhat anxious, otherwise, he wouldn't have such a good attitude.
But Yu Zhou rolled his eyes at his words. If they were truly thinking of him as they appeared, they wouldn't be acting this way.
Clearly, these people had formed a small alliance of bosses, wanting to take advantage of him.
No wonder they were unwilling to go to the dried fruit factory. If they had gone there, and Yu Zhou had explained the situation, he knew they would have been kicked out without a second thought.
And now, Yu Zhou only had Qin Feng by his side; even Wu Dabiao hadn't returned from the factory.
The situation seemed to be such that even if there was a conflict, they wouldn't have the advantage.
"We don't do deals that only result in losses and no gains,"
Qin Feng said with a cold smile before Yu Zhou could even speak.
Yes, this guy did seem a bit honest or quiet at times, but that didn't mean Qin Feng was truly a fool like Wu Dabiao.
He understood things better than anyone, he just didn't voice it.
He immediately saw that these bosses had ulterior motives in coming here to discuss cooperation.
Moreover, even if Yu Zhou agreed, his sister would absolutely not.
People who seize every opportunity and even act so humbly, if you say they don't have a bigger agenda, Qin Feng wouldn't believe it.
Would this agenda truly be good for his sister? It would certainly have an impact.
He knew his sister's temperament very well; she was difficult to cooperate with anyone she didn't trust.
Let alone these people who had appeared out of nowhere.
They were clearly here to pick the fruits of his labor.
"Who are you? We bosses are talking, what are you interfering for?"
The boss at the head still smiled, even appearing somewhat humble.
But among the bosses behind him, some couldn't "hold back."
This was clearly a case of playing good cop, bad cop.
Were they so determined to get their hands on his dried fruit factory? Did they need to make such a big fuss for a mere "cooperation"?
For a moment, Yu Zhou, who also remained silent, began to ponder, especially who was behind them. He needed to find out.
