Back at the hotel, Lin Ziyi smiled and said, "Tian Ge, my aunt is truly wonderful. If you bully me in the future, I'll have someone to complain to."
Ye Tian chuckled, "My aunt's first half of her life wasn't very happy. Fortunately, she now has children and a worry-free life."
He thought of something and asked, "Ziyi, why are you in Zhonghai?"
Lin Ziyi replied, "A company wants to buy out our formula."
Ye Tian's heart stirred, "Which formula?"
Lin Ziyi explained, "The face cream and eye cream. The other party offered a very high price, so Manager Yang asked me to negotiate with them first."
Ye Tian knew the immense profit of the eye and face creams. He asked, "What was the offer? It must have been enough to make Old Yang tempted."
Lin Ziyi said, "Never mind Old Yang, even you would be tempted if you heard the price."
Ye Tian inquired, "Oh? What's the offer?"
Lin Ziyi revealed, "Five hundred billion! And there's room for negotiation."
Ye Tian was shocked. Who could produce five hundred billion on the spot? He knew that the annual profit from these two products was only tens of billions, and it would take ten years to earn five hundred billion. Moreover, his raw material supply was limited, and at the current production rate, these creams could only be sold for another year at most.
He asked, "The other party must require us to provide the raw materials, right?"
Lin Ziyi replied, "That's not necessary. They only want the formula and the origin of the raw materials."
"They're only acquiring the face cream and eye cream?"
Lin Ziyi nodded, "Yes. However, they want to take over the name of Baozhi Company and our current factory. As for the other products, we can keep them."
Ye Tian scoffed, "Manager Yang asked you to negotiate, which means he doesn't intend to sell."
Lin Ziyi elaborated, "Manager Yang wants to take the company public. Think about it, our company currently generates thirty to fifty billion in profit. With new medicines coming to market, the profit will increase. For similar companies, a price-to-earnings ratio of fifty or even a hundred is not unusual. With an annual profit of fifty billion and a P/E ratio of fifty, Baozhi's market value would be at least two and a half trillion."
Ye Tian laughed, "So, we'll all be billionaires then?"
Lin Ziyi added, "We'll be billionaires, and Old Yang will become a trillionaire! So, by that calculation, Old Yang is unlikely to sell."
Ye Tian stated, "Whether they sell or not, he can't make the decision alone; he has to listen to me."
Lin Ziyi giggled, "Husband, so, should we sell?"
Ye Tian replied, "That depends on the other party's sincerity. Offering five hundred billion to buy the company, I feel like something is not quite right."
Lin Ziyi reassured him, "The other party is a Fortune Global 500 company, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Ye Tian asked, "When do they want to talk?"
Lin Ziyi informed him, "Tomorrow at noon, nine o'clock. Both parties will meet at a hotel."
Ye Tian requested, "Give me the information on the other company."
After receiving the details, he took a photo and sent it to Ren Ping, wanting to investigate the company's background. Ren Ping quickly sent back a report, indicating that the company was very complex. Its three major shareholders were puppets of three major forces in the capital, commonly known as "white gloves."
These three forces were one in the military, one in the government, and one an extremely influential aristocratic family.
He had barely glanced at it when Ren Ping called, "Little brother, why are you suddenly investigating this company?"
Ye Tian explained, "We have some business dealings, so I asked you to investigate. Old Ren, how have you been lately?"
Ren Ping replied, "I was almost killed a few days ago, but thankfully, I'm lucky. Little brother, do you have time to come to the capital and be my bodyguard for a few days?"
Ye Tian was surprised, "What? Someone wants to kill you?"
Ren Ping continued, "I received intelligence that a top global assassin group is coming after me. I'm not confident, so I want to ask you to protect me for a while."
Ye Tian asked, "When?"
Ren Ping urged, "It's best if you can arrive in the capital within three days, otherwise, you might have to visit me at the cemetery."
Ye Tian agreed, "Alright, I'll try to arrive tomorrow or the day after."
Ren Ping expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, brother! By the way, you've seen the background of this company. Be careful when dealing with them."
Ye Tian acknowledged, "Understood!"
After ending the call, he turned around and saw Lin Ziyi had changed into a pink nurse uniform. She exuded a captivating charm, deliberately turning sideways to show him her perfect curves.
Ye Tian swallowed and then walked towards Lin Ziyi.
