Chapter 647 Dowry cannot be sold! (4K chapters)

"I have something to talk to your parents about!"

Wu's previous words shocked the people at the reception. Fortunately, this meeting has already passed the working hours, and it is relatively deserted. If it is half an hour earlier, the meeting will be lively when people come and go.

The two reception beauties were so surprised that they could stuff eggs into their mouths, and they glanced back and forth between Wu Qian and Yao Xinlu's faces with shock in their eyes.

What Wu Qian said was interpreted by the two of them as meeting the parents forcibly!

The prestige of the domineering chairman is fully displayed!
Yao Xinlu stood there stunned, no matter how smart she was, no matter how good her psychological quality was, she was a little at a loss by the current situation.

Seeing that Yao Xinlu didn't respond at all, Wu Qian waved his hand again and said, "Don't be dazed, let's go."

"Oh, go..."

Yao Xinlu came back to her senses, she didn't know what Wu Qian was going to do, but she could see that the other party seemed to be very anxious, so it's better not to think about it at this time.

Wu Qian's group and Yao Xinlu walked forward, and the beauty at the reception began to gossip. I'm afraid it won't be long before the whole company knows that the chairman is forcing the general manager to meet his parents.

On the road, Yao Xinlu was driving the Oulu in front, and the Phantom Wu Qian was riding in was like a shadow, and the vehicle kept heading west.

Yao Xinlu's family lived in a very famous old-fashioned villa area in the suburbs of the capital. When the vehicle arrived at the gate, Yao Xinlu lowered the window and exchanged a few words with the guard, and the two cars entered the villa area smoothly.

This villa area focuses on low density, and you can see that the courtyards of each household are separated by a certain distance, providing enough private space. In the capital where every inch of land is expensive, it is definitely an extremely luxurious residential area.

"The environment here is really good. Why didn't you find this community when you bought a house?"

Wu Qian looked at the scenery outside the window and said in a low voice.

Not long after, the vehicle drove up to the gate of a set of manor, the gate of the manor was automatically lifted, and two vehicles drove in one after another.

The manor is very spacious, with the garden alone covering an area of ​​more than [-] square meters. There is also a dedicated garage and several storage rooms that are probably used to store sundries.

A middle-aged man wore a baseball cap on his head and a towel around his neck. He was full of energy. He was watering the green plants in the garden with a hose. He was so serious that he didn't notice any vehicles entering the manor.

A man who looked like a gardener beside him said softly, "Boss, Missy is back."

The middle-aged man watering the green plants is none other than Yao Xinlu's father, Yao Zhaofeng.

Hearing the words of the people around him, Yao Zhaofeng came back to his senses, looked into the distance, and murmured: "Didn't Lulu just go to work, why are you back at this time..."

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling blue jumped into the manor immediately after Ou Lu.

"Ok?"

Yao Zhaofeng frowned, surprised in his heart, he handed the water pipe to the master gardener, took off the towel around his neck, wiped his hands, and walked towards the parking lot.

It was the first time for Wu Qian to visit Yao Xinlu's house. When the vehicle drove into the yard, he could see well-groomed green plants. The European-style villa in the distance didn't seem too outstanding nowadays, but the overall arrangement was very harmonious.

The car came to a stop, Wu Qian got out of the car, and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him with an inquiring look on his face.

Yao Xinlu also got out of the car at this moment. On the way home, she kept thinking about why Wu Qian wanted to find her father, but she still couldn't figure it out. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and acted as an intermediary introducer.

"Dad, this is Wu Qian, Wu Qian, this is my father..."

It was not a workplace at the moment, and Yao Xinlu did not specifically mention Wu Qian's position in the company.

"Presumably this is Lulu's immediate boss, Wu Qian, Chairman Wu."

Although Yao Xinlu did not introduce Wu Qian's identity, Yao Zhaofeng had already known Wu Qian's basic information, including Wu Qian's investments in the UK, France and other places.

As Yao Xinlu's father, he supports his daughter's going to work outside instead of working in his own big company, but he still needs to know who his daughter is working for.

Yao Zhaofeng has seen Wu Qian through the media, but this is the first time for a real person to see that the other person has an extraordinary aura at a glance. Although the other person has a very peaceful aura, the aura cultivated by the influence of power and wealth cannot be concealed even if he wants to.

Similarly, Wu Qian was also observing Yao Zhaofeng, recalling Yao's mother's overbearing and domineering back then, but Yao Xinlu's father seemed very kind, with two completely different styles, but somehow he walked into the family.

Wu Qian nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm here, hello uncle."

Yao Zhaofeng shook Wu Qian's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "If Mr. Wu says 'under', then I don't even know how to call myself, haha, this way please."

While talking, Yao Zhaofeng led Wu Qian and his party towards the villa.

In the living room, Yao Xinlu personally brewed two cups of tea and served them on the tea table, then sat at the side, with her father present, she was not the host, so she could only sit by the side.

Yao Zhaofeng pushed the teacup to Wu Qian, and said, "Your aunt is busy in the company, and now I am in a semi-retired state, planting trees and raising flowers every day, living an old life in advance, come and taste the tea I brought back from Anxi. Tieguanyin."

Wu Qian picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying: "Delicate and mellow, good tea."

In fact, Wu Qian didn't taste good or bad at all, but "delicate and mellow" are two words to describe tea, and generally you can't go wrong too much.

Yao Zhaofeng saw that Wu Qian was not good at tea ceremony, so he didn't bring up this topic again. He asked, "Mr. Wu suddenly visited today. Could it be that the little girl has caused some trouble for your company?"

Wu Qian put down his teacup and hurriedly said: "No, no, General Manager Yao is smart and capable, and he is very capable. I am really lucky to be able to recruit such a talent. I came here today to inquire about other matters."

Yao Xinlu sat on the side with a faint smile on her face, but she was a little depressed in her heart. In her heart, Wu Qian and herself were of the same generation, but now Wu Qian was talking with her father, and even involved herself, which made her feel I'm a little embarrassed.

Yao Zhaofeng just used his daughter as the starting point to lead the text, he raised his hand to signal Wu Qian to please speak.

Wu Qiandao: "I learned from Mr. Yao before that Uncle and Auntie are the directors of Qiming Shipping Group. I wonder if it is convenient for us to know the current operating status of Qiming Shipping?"

Straight to the point, after Wu Qian finished speaking, both Yao Xinlu and Yao Zhaofeng showed a look of understanding on their faces. Until now, the two of them had only figured out Wu Qian's reason for coming.

Yao Zhaofeng didn't ask Wu Qian why he wanted to ask this matter, but he gave a general overview of the situation.

Qiming Shipping Group was founded in 1985 by a friend from an island country, and he was one of the earliest directors who became shareholders.

Through these years of development, the shipping group now has more than 160 ships of various types, and its service network covers more than 80 countries around the world, with more than [-] service outlets.

The long-distance and short-sea regular routes operated include North America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Mediterranean, Australia, South Africa, South America, the Middle East and other regions, basically covering major ports on five continents.

……

Although Yao Zhaofeng doesn't manage the group's affairs very much, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand it. He tells the group's business situation like a few treasures, as if he is running a business to introduce his own products, and he is very skilled.

Wu Qian listened carefully. Rosalind will also record some important data for future reference.

After Yao Zhaofeng finished speaking, Wu Qian lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and then said: "Mr. Yao, I have a rather abrupt request, please don't take offense."

Wu Qian called the other party uncle when he was doing homework, but now that he was talking about business, the address became more formal.

Yao Zhaofeng knew that the real business was coming, he said: "Please tell me."

"Because of business needs, I plan to acquire Qiming Shipping Group. I don't know if there is any discussion." Wu Qian said seriously.

After the words fell, Yao Xinlu's eyes were 50.00% bigger than usual, and the expression on her face was very strange. She really didn't expect that Wu Qian went to her parents to buy the Shipping Group.

When I heard Wu Qian ask about the current operation of the Shipping Group, I thought that my parents were looking for a big business, so I came to discuss it in person. I never thought... It is indeed a big business, but it is too big.

The exaggerated expression on Yao Zhaofeng's face was no less than that of his own daughter. This incident was too sudden and bizarre. No wonder the other party said it was rather abrupt.

If Qiming Shipping Group is in financial crisis and operating difficulties, I am afraid it will be acquired, but now Qiming Shipping Group is very healthy, not to mention flourishing, at least it is developing step by step.

In the past five years, the market value and profit of the group have grown at an annual rate of [-]%. Under such circumstances, the board of directors has never considered selling the group.

Thoughts were spinning in Yao Zhaofeng's mind, he showed a strange smile, and said: "Young man, when your aunt knew that Lulu was determined to work in your company, she was furious."

"If you let her know that you not only want Lulu to work for you, but also want us all to work for you... Lulu, do you think your mother will explode in anger?"

As he spoke, Yao Zhaofeng looked at his daughter who was sitting aside, showing a doting smile.

Yao Xinlu smiled awkwardly, the joke her father made was not funny at all.

Wu Qian scratched his head. He also knew that it was a bit abrupt to bring up this matter, but he really needed a very large-scale shipping company to support the development of Solan Kingdom.

As for the large-scale shipping company, it is not so easy to contact. It has nothing to do with it. I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to talk about acquisitions. For a while, he can only find Yao Xinlu's parents.

Wu Qian looked at Yao Xinlu, and found that the other person was also looking at him, with a little indescribable emotion in his eyes, as if there was some... resentment.

"Mr. Yao is serious. I really don't have any thoughts like what you said. I definitely misunderstood me..."

Yao Zhaofeng smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Lulu's mother and I only hold 20.00% of the shares in the group. I really can't make the decision for the board of directors for your request."

"May I ask, why did you buy the shipping group?"

Wu Qian pondered for a while, and said: "To be honest, I have an important project to start after a while. This project has a very large demand for maritime transportation. Instead of entrusting it to an outside shipping group, it is better to buy one by myself. , which is more convenient to use.”

In terms of shipping, Wu Qian did not plan to recruit anyone, so his rhetoric was very reserved.

Yao Xinlu looked at Wu Qian with great doubts. She had never heard of Wu Qian's big project ahead of time.

Of course I didn't mention it, Wu Qian thought it would be at least two months before it started...

Yao Zhaofeng didn't think too much about it, but he became interested, approached Wu Qian, and asked, "The demand is very large, how big is it?"

Such a question really got Wu Qian right. How could he know that a city was built from scratch, no matter how perfect the plan was, there would still be omissions, and materials would need to be imported from overseas to Suolan at any time.

Wu Qian looked at Rosalind, and Rosalind shook her head helplessly, expressing her uncertainty.

Wu Qian spread his hands and said, "I can't estimate it for the time being."

Yao Zhaofeng took a deep breath in his heart. He didn't think Wu Qian was talking big, because the other party had the strength to buy tens of millions of barrels of crude oil at will. That's something ordinary rich people can do. Such a person disdains Exaggerated, and possibly cautious.

"Mr. Wu, to be honest, according to the current situation of our group, if you want to buy directly, it is not impossible, but the difficulty is indeed not small. Those guys on the board of directors are not easy to dismiss, such as my shares. No amount of money is going to be sold..."

After saying this, the whole scene became awkward.

Yao Xinlu was so depressed that she exploded, what happened to her father today, the uncles and aunts on the board of directors are naturally not good at talking, you just leave the blame to them, go ahead and do it yourself!
"Mr. Yao, what request can we talk about..." Wu Qian said with an awkward yet polite smile on his face.

Before coming here, Wu Qian had already done a lot of homework. The current market value of Qiming Shipping Group is approaching 350 billion. Although the annual growth is limited, it is very stable, which shows that the internal management is very good.

According to his previous acquisition experience, such a high-quality industry will have a certain premium, as long as it does not exceed 420 billion, he can accept it.

But if the other party speaks so harshly at once, it's not easy to talk about it.

Yao Zhaofeng looked at his daughter with a smile, and seeing a faint anxious look in her eyes, he sighed softly in his heart, and said, "The little shares my wife and I have in the group are intended to be left to Lulu. a dowry."

Facts have proved that the word "most" cannot be used lightly. The scene just now was embarrassing enough, but compared with this moment, it is slightly inferior.

The expression on Wu Qian's face was extremely exaggerated. Now it seems that it is more difficult to find acquaintances to discuss business than strangers.

Yao Xinlu's cheeks flushed reddish at a visible speed after listening to her father's unastonishing and endless remarks. She didn't know if she was angry, excited, or a little shy when she was brought up for marriage when she faced Wu Qian.

She has never heard her father and mother mention the dowry, all of this is her father's impromptu play!
"I'm going to help you change a glass of water..."

Yao Xinlu couldn't stay any longer, so she got up and picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and walked out of the living room in a panic, looking embarrassed at Wu Qian.
