The office door was knocked, and the assistant Xu Jiang pushed the door open and walked in. "Qing Zong, the CEO of Country C's Kuniq Corporation wants to see you and discuss cooperation."
"The CEO of Kuniq Corporation?" Qing Sihhuai frowned. "Are you talking about the CEO of Country C's Kuniq Internet Company?"
"Yes," Assistant Xu Jiang nodded.
Qing Sihhuai irritably smoothed his slicked-back, glossy hair, resting his chin on his right hand with his elbow on the armrest, his fingers brushing against the stubble on his chin. "Have him come in."
With that, the assistant left. Qing Sihhuai immediately stood up and tidied his appearance.
Not long after, a man in a gray suit walked in. The man was tall and slender, and the perfectly tailored suit accentuated his sturdy build. Especially his chestnut curly hair, tanned skin, and the deep-set eyes unique to foreigners, his sapphire pupils, and a high nose bridge, giving him a distinguished, prince-like aura.
"Mr. Arlo Korgosol?"
Arlo Korgosol was an internet magnate from Country C, yet he was only 35 years old. He was well-known in the industry but had always developed his business in Country C. He hadn't expected him to come to Lancheng now.
Qing Sihhuai never expected Arlo Korgosol to come to Lancheng to find him and felt genuinely flattered.
He quickly stepped forward, extended his hand, and smiled, "Hello, hello. I've heard your name for a long time. It's a real honor to meet you today."
The Korgosol family had been in business for generations, with industries spread across the country. However, Arlo Korgosol's internet business had only developed within Country C.
He himself had graduated from Harvard University, was proficient in multiple languages, excelled in computer science, and had also achieved some success in the aviation sector.
Arlo Korgosol shook his hand and said in standard Mandarin, "Mr. Qing is too kind."
His pronunciation was clear and accurate, but a subtle foreign accent was still discernible.
"Sit, sit, sit." Qing Sihhuai made a 'please' gesture, inviting him to sit in the lounge area to chat, and instructed Assistant Xu Jiang to bring in two cups of coffee.
The two sat facing each other and chatted for a while. Arlo Korgosol finally revealed the purpose of his visit. "I heard you've been raising funds from various sources to acquire Zhuo Rui Technology Company?"
Qing Sihhuai paused, his gaze instantly deepening. He gave the man sitting opposite him a meaningful look. "Yes, that is my intention. Mr. Korgosol's information is quite well-informed."
Arlo Korgosol shrugged and smiled. "I'm in the internet business; my expertise is in gathering information."
"Hahaha, that's very true." Qing Sihhuai laughed obsequiously, then got to the point. "So, why are you here today...?"
He knew that people don't visit without a reason; he must have some plan or idea.
Korgosol picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. He slowly put down the white porcelain coffee cup and said leisurely, "I can provide the money. However, I want shares in Song Yu Group."
He was direct and didn't beat around the bush.
His straightforward approach caught Qing Sihhuai off guard. "Wh-what?"
Arlo Korgosol leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs, and looked down at Qing Sihhuai as if he were a king looking down on his subjects. "I plan to expand my business into your country. I have great confidence in Lancheng, especially in Song Yu Group. Therefore, I can invest money for you, but I must become a shareholder of Song Yu Group."
