“Impossible.”
Li Feng said coldly. After all, Xiangfeng Investment Company was his company. How could he let someone take fifty percent of the shares? As for the smart chip technology, in Li Feng’s view, it was merely an outdated relic. He could easily produce several of them.
Su Xin shot Li Feng a sharp glance, a trace of coldness flashing in the depths of his eyes. “President Hu, your subordinate is rather impolite. For our negotiation, perhaps they should leave.”
A company worth hundreds of millions, Xiangfeng Investment, was something he was determined to acquire. Moreover, with Hu Yuanyuan involved, he would not allow anyone to interfere. Besides, smart chip technology was cutting-edge, and he believed Hu Yuanyuan would not refuse.
“Li Feng is not an outsider.” Hearing Li Feng’s words, Hu Yuanyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had brought Li Feng today precisely because of Su Xin. Though Li Feng was timid, he came from a prominent family, and Xiangfeng Investment was his company. It seemed her choice was correct.
Su Xin’s gaze turned cold. “President Hu, what do you mean?”
“Li Feng is the vice president of the company, holding fifty percent of the shares and has the right to decide company matters,” Hu Yuanyuan said calmly.
At these words, everyone except Hu Yuanyuan, including Su Yang, showed a look of shock. Xiangfeng Investment was not the same as it was a year ago. Back then, it was merely an investment firm, but now it had expanded into various sectors. Besides finance, mobile chip technology was a key development project.
The current Xiangfeng Investment was worth hundreds of millions, and fifty percent of the shares amounted to a fortune of hundreds of millions. They had never imagined that, besides Hu Yuanyuan, there was another shareholder in Xiangfeng Investment.
Especially Hu Yuanyuan’s subordinates, who, though aware of a vice president, had never seen him and assumed he did not exist. Hearing Hu Yuanyuan’s introduction now, they were utterly astonished.
They were not like Su Xin. In the company, Hu Yuanyuan’s word was law; there was no need for her to deceive them. The fact that Li Feng was the vice president and held fifty percent of the shares was almost certainly true.
“President Hu, are you joking?” Su Xin’s expression changed. If Li Feng were merely Hu Yuanyuan’s subordinate, he could easily dismiss him, but if Li Feng was a controlling shareholder of Xiangfeng Investment, that would be troublesome.
“Do you think I’m joking?” Hu Yuanyuan countered.
Su Xin did not think Hu Yuanyuan was joking, but Li Feng’s unexpected appearance disrupted his plans, and he harboured deep resentment towards him. If not for Li Feng, he could have taken Hu Yuanyuan’s company today.
Su Xin said, “President Hu, you know the value of smart chip technology. Tianhai City doesn’t just have your company. My conditions are not excessive.”
“A piece of junk chip, and you want fifty percent of the shares? Not excessive?” Li Feng sneered.
“Junk?” Su Yang snorted coldly. “Young man, don’t pretend to know what you don’t. The value of smart chip technology is beyond your understanding. If not for Xiao Hu’s sake, you wouldn’t even have a seat here.”
Su Xin was his grandson, and he would not tolerate anyone speaking ill of him.
“Hmph, which company would trade fifty percent of its shares for the rights to a smart chip? Do you take us for fools?” Li Feng sneered. At current market rates, Su Yang’s smart chip might be worth ten percent of the shares, which would not be excessive. But fifty percent was essentially taking control, a condition no one could accept.
Moreover, Li Feng had no intention of selling shares. The company was something his parents had given him and Hu Yuanyuan to play with; whether it succeeded or not was irrelevant.
Besides, with advanced technology centuries ahead in his mind, was he afraid the company wouldn’t grow? Smart chips were child’s play; he could easily create dozens with different functions.
More importantly, the way Su Xin looked at Hu Yuanyuan irritated him. Hu Yuanyuan was his wife, whether their marriage was real or not. In Li Feng’s eyes, she was his woman, and he would not allow anyone to have designs on her.
“Master Su, we cannot accept your conditions.” Though Li Feng was impolite and might offend Su Yang, Hu Yuanyuan had to admit he hit the nail on the head. If they agreed to Su Yang’s cooperation plan, the company would belong to the Su family.
The company was vital to Hu Yuanyuan, like her child, which she had watched grow. She would not allow anyone to take it, especially knowing Su Xin’s intentions. Whether for personal preferences or family opinions, she and Su Xin were impossible.
“Xiao Hu, think carefully. Your Xiangfeng Investment isn’t the only one needing this smart chip. Many companies in Tianhai have discussed cooperation with me before. If not for you, Xiao Hu, Xiangfeng Investment wouldn’t be my choice.”
Su Yang glanced at Li Feng and said, “Some people don’t know their place. Keeping such people in the company will do no good and may even harm it.”
“Old man, what did you say?” Li Feng was furious. This Su Yang dared to act superior in front of him, thinking he could do as he pleased just because he developed an outdated smart chip. Truly absurd.
“Young man, mind your manners.” Su Yang’s gaze turned cold. As a renowned professor at Tianhai University, when had anyone dared to insult him like this? “Xiao Hu, with such people in your company, cooperation is impossible.”
An old fox, Su Yang naturally knew Su Xin’s intentions. Though Su Xin’s conditions were somewhat excessive, so what? Su Xin was his grandson; who else would he support? Besides, he was very satisfied with Hu Yuanyuan. If she could become his granddaughter-in-law, he would be delighted.
In his view, Hu Yuanyuan had no reason to refuse. With his smart chip, Xiangfeng Investment could rise to new heights. Moreover, his grandson Su Xin was a young talent, a returned overseas scholar.
He hadn’t expected the supposedly smooth negotiation to be disrupted by Li Feng. For Su Xin’s sake, he had to go all out.
“Old man, don’t act high and mighty in front of me. You’re not qualified.” Li Feng sneered, showing no respect, making Su Yang’s face turn ashen with anger.
“Li Feng, that’s enough.” Hu Yuanyuan hadn’t expected Li Feng to be so bold as to insult Professor Su, which went against her purpose for bringing him. She was also surprised by Li Feng’s change. Since when had he become so audacious?
“Let’s go. Even if the company goes bankrupt, I won’t cooperate with such greedy people.” With that, Li Feng took Hu Yuanyuan’s hand and headed out of the private room.
Seeing Li Feng leave with Hu Yuanyuan, a trace of venom flashed in Su Xin’s eyes.
“Hu Yuanyuan, you dare ignore me. I’ll make you see my power soon. Li Feng, for ruining my plans, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
With that thought, Su Xin took out his phone and made a call.
