Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 384 It’s better to teach a man to fish!

"Master Su, why did you just let them go like this? You should at least let them show some attitude. Isn't this too easy for them?"

Hou Ting frowned and asked in confusion, a big company like Dingsheng must be hit hard to make them remember this profound lesson, only in this way will they be completely afraid.

And now, Su Chen is just using his power to suppress Dingsheng. There is basically no harm to Dingsheng. At most, it will just give up the Shufen Hotpot project.

As time goes by and the residual influence fades away, Dingsheng might try to trip up Shufen Hotpot in other ways.

The tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife has been applicable from ancient times to the present.

After all...interests are what move people!
Su Chen waved his hand calmly, "It's okay, it's just a small matter. When the time comes, let Chen Feiyu call that Young Master Guo. Maybe he will come over in person to apologize to me."

"Besides, I have other distinguished guests to entertain."

"Distinguished guest?!" Hou Ting was stunned when he heard this, and thought of Chen Fei's previous departure. He thought that he was going to meet the distinguished guest mentioned by Su Chen.

What he couldn't figure out was what kind of person could be called a distinguished guest by Su Chen. Ordinary group leaders or second-generation leaders didn't really have the qualifications.

Just as Hou Ting was wondering, the door of the presidential suite was opened again. The people backstage who heard the sound immediately turned around to look.

Then I saw Chen Fei walking in with three or four people.

When he saw the middle-aged man next to Fade Chen, his eyes widened immediately, and he stammered as if struck by lightning, "Mr. Lei Lei?"

"Young Master Susu, the distinguished guest you were talking about turned out to be Mr. Lei from Xiaomi?" Hou Ting looked at Su Chen in shock. These two people who had nothing in common actually had such a connection.

Su Chen smiled without saying anything, stood up and walked towards Lei Jun who was approaching.

"Mr. Lei, I'm sorry. I was talking about something just now and didn't come to pick you up in person. Please forgive me!" Su Chen smiled, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Mr. Lei.

Lei Jun smiled heartily. He naturally knew that Su Chen's words were not an excuse. The people he saw when he got out of the elevator just now were most likely the "things" Su Chen was talking about.

"Mr. Su, you are too polite. I should say that I disturbed you!"

According to previous statements, he should have flown directly to the Magic City to sign the relevant contract with Pei Rang, the person in charge of Yunmengze.

It was Lei Jun's fault that he suddenly changed his mind and came to Su Chen.

Looking at Su Chen, who had a calm aura and spoke with experience, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although Su Chen is young, his manners and speech reveal a maturity far beyond his peers. Even the things he does are something that many large domestic companies cannot do.

Hou Ting was stunned watching from the side. He had never expected that Su Chen would be so familiar with Lei Jun.

You should know that Lei Jun is now a rising star in the business world, and the valuation of Xiaomi, which he controls, is comparable to that of the Hou family's family business.

Even if his father came forward, Mr. Lei's attitude might not be as good as the scene before him.

At this time, Lei Jun's eyes also moved to Hou Ting, and asked Su Chen: "Mr. Su, who is this?"

Being able to stay here without having to avoid suspicion, I think he and Su Chen must have a special relationship, and it won't do any harm to get to know him.

More friends mean more paths, which may come in handy in the future.

Su Chen looked at Hou Ting and introduced him with a smile: "Hou Ting, your family is in the agricultural and animal husbandry industry, and the Eagle Group is considered a leader in the industry!"

"I won't introduce Mr. Lei to you. I think you know Hou Ting too."

Lei Jun's eyes moved slightly, and he took the initiative to extend his hand and greet Hou Ting.

After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Su Chen said, "Please take a seat, Mr. Lei!"

After Lei Jun sat down, Su Chen asked Chen Fei to make a pot of tea. Watermelon juice was definitely not good enough for Lei Jun.

After chatting about this and that for a while, when Chen Fei's tea was placed on the table, Lei Jun took a sip to moisten his throat, and then went straight to the point, "Mr. Su, this time I came here mainly to talk about what we discussed last time."

"After I went back, I had a serious discussion with the company's shareholders and executives, and there were some minor changes on the original basis. This time I came here to ask for your opinion, Mr. Su."

"If Mr. Su has no objection, we can sign the contract today."

Su Chen frowned slightly. He didn't know what Lei Jun was up to. He thought they had already agreed on it before, but he didn't expect something unexpected would happen.

Do you feel that you are not satisfied with the price you offered, or do you have other ideas?

"Mr. Lei, I wonder what changes you are talking about?" Su Chen looked at Mr. Lei with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun immediately took out a contract from his briefcase and handed it to Su Chen.

After Su Chen took over the contract, Lei Jun began to explain: "Mr. Su previously invested 2 billion US dollars and helped Xiaomi develop a mobile phone chip as a bargaining chip to trade for 10% of Xiaomi's shares. After discussions with our shareholders and senior management, we decided..."

"Give Xiaomi 20% of its shares, hoping to change the research of a Xiaomi chip to jointly establish a mobile phone chip research center!"

"Our company owns 49% of the research center's shares, and you own 51%, Mr. Su!"

After saying that, Lei Jun's eyes flashed with nervousness, and he looked at Su Chen who was reading the contract and asked, "What is your opinion, Mr. Su?"

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish!
This is what Lei Jun is calculating. He knows that the times will progress, and the chips used now may not be able to keep up with the trend of the times next year.

Only by firmly grasping technology can we have the confidence to face the various changes of the times.

When Su Chen heard this, he was really furious. The old fox is worthy of being an old fox. He was able to make Xiaomi bigger and stronger in just a few years. If he didn't have a keen eye, it would definitely not have been possible.

Originally, Su Chen was planning to tie Xiaomi to his car, and after future updates and iterations, it would become the most stable customer of Xiaxin International. He didn't expect Lei Jun to do this.

You really can't underestimate anyone. Su Chen also became secretly alert in his heart. He thought that he had been doing too well and looked down on these old business veterans.

Putting the contract on the table, Su Chen clasped his arms and leaned against the back of the sofa, thinking about the feasibility of the research center.

Seeing this, Lei Jun did not rush to ask further questions. He picked up his cup of tea and sipped it carefully.

Neither Su Chen nor Lei Jun were in a hurry, but Hou Ting on the side was itching to try.

Not to mention the 2 billion US dollars investment in Xiaomi Group, even Hou Ting, an outsider, can see that the mobile phone chip research center is a gold mine in the future.

The feeling of looking at a mountain of gold but not being able to get it is so painful.

If he hadn't considered the difference in status, he would have wanted to shout out loud: "I want to join, I want to invest!"

If Hou Ting had known this would happen, he should have found an excuse and slipped back to his room earlier. It would have been better than suffering here now.

The silence lasted for about half a minute. Su Chen suddenly chuckled, "Boss Lei has given me a difficult problem!" He leaned forward slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes, "I agree to jointly establish a research center, but we still need to discuss some details!"

The four most critical factors of a research center are core technology, equipment, funds and scientific researchers, and none of them can be missing.

In terms of core technology and equipment, the most advanced ones on the market are firmly in Su Chen's hands. Even as a scientific researcher, he has a great advantage.

In the research base of Zhengdao Park, there are many experts in the chip field who can set up the framework of the research center at any time.

Su Chen did not intend to take on too much. Cooperation means working together to create something.

The reason why I discussed the relevant details with Lei Jun was to fight for my own interests in disguise, and I was thinking about how to maximize my own interests.

Both Su Chen and Lei Jun knew this.

The talks lasted nearly two hours, and the two sides only reached a preliminary consensus.

Su Chen provided the corresponding chip technology, and Lei Jun split 500 million US dollars from the 2 billion US dollars invested by Su Chen to purchase the corresponding research equipment, and the rest was used as funding for the research center.

As for researchers, Su Chen only needs to send a few researchers as early guides for the project, and the rest of the personnel will be dispatched by Xiaomi's own R&D team.

As for the shares, Su Chen did not ask for more. It was still according to what Lei Jun said before. Xiaomi owned 49%, and Su Chen... no, it should be said that Yunmengze Group owned 51%!

Su Chen looked at the time. It was already past one in the afternoon, and a feeling of hunger immediately surged into his heart.

He immediately looked at Lei Jun and said, "Boss Lei, it's getting late now. How about we find a place to have a quick meal first, and then finalize the cooperation in the afternoon? What do you think?"

"Then let Mr. Su pay for it. This is my second time in Chengdu. The first time I came, I tasted authentic Sichuan cuisine. This time, why don't we try hot pot to make up for the previous regret."

When Lei Jun talked about hot pot, his throat moved subconsciously, as if he was already sitting in front of the hot pot.

"Uh..." Su Chen was a little confused. He didn't expect that Lei Jun was also a foodie.

However, this proposal made Su Chen feel embarrassed. It was not that he didn't want to eat hot pot, he was just worried that Lei Jun couldn't handle it.

It is already the hottest time of the summer, and coupled with the spiciness of the hot pot, Su Chen was afraid that Lei Jun would settle down in the toilet after eating the hot pot.

Another problem is that the smell of hot pot easily spreads. After eating hot pot, everyone will have the smell of hot pot on their body, which is bound to make them feel uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, Su Chen nodded and agreed, "Okay, but you can't blame me when Mr. Lei is "spicy on both ends"!"

Lei Jun didn't realize what "spicy at both ends" meant at first, and it was Hou Ting who explained it to him in a low voice.

"Hahaha, Mr. Su, don't worry about this. As a native of Hubei Province, I can still eat this kind of spicy food!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen said no more and immediately called everyone to set off. As for the place to eat hotpot, could there be a more suitable place than Shufen Hotpot?

The hotel is only a few hundred meters away from Shufen Hotpot, but Su Chen and the others tacitly chose to drive.

Fortunately, they all parked their cars in the basement of the hotel. If they had parked in the open air, everyone would have become "acquaintances" if they had gotten in at this time!
When we arrived at Shufen Hotpot, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Even at this time, there were still seven or eight tables of customers in the restaurant.

The arrival of Su Chen and his group naturally attracted the attention of the waiters.

When he saw that it was Su Chen who was leading the group, Manager Li immediately came forward, looked at the crowd, and asked respectfully, "Boss Su, are you... going to eat hot pot?"

Su Chen nodded slightly, "Manager Li, please arrange two tables..." After a pause, he turned to look at Lei Jun beside him and asked, "Boss Lei, should I stay in the lobby or go to the private room upstairs?"

Originally, Su Chen wanted to do it in the lobby downstairs, so that the smell would be a little lighter, but if he did it in the lobby, it would seem a bit rude.

I might as well throw this question to Lei Jun to make the decision. This is also respecting the customer's choice.

"Let's eat in the lobby, it will be more lively!" Lei Jun answered without hesitation.

Hearing this, Su Chen gave Manager Li a look, signaling her to go down and make arrangements immediately.

After taking a quick look around, Su Chen and his friends chose a seat closer to the inside. There were not many people around, so it was relatively not much different from a private room.

Su Chen, Lei Jun, Hou Ting and Chen Fei sat at one table, and the others were arranged at another table.

As soon as he sat down, Lei Jun couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Mr. Su, I just heard that person call you Mr. Su, is this hot pot restaurant opened by your family?"

Before Su Chen could respond, Hou Ting, who was sitting next to Lei Jun, seemed to have found a topic and immediately took over the conversation.

"Boss Lei, this hot pot restaurant was opened by Young Master Su's parents. You don't know how famous Shufen Hot Pot is in Fog City and Chengdu. It can be said to be the leader in the hot pot industry!"

"There are nearly a hundred branches alone, and the monthly profit has reached eight figures. Previously, an investment bank wanted to invest 500 million yuan and hold 20% of the shares, but Su Shao decisively rejected it."

Lei Jun was also surprised. He had some understanding of traditional industries like catering. Being able to achieve such a large scale with branches in both Wudu and Chengdu could be said to be very successful.

Not to mention the monthly profit reached an astonishing eight figures, which was simply incredible. Even he was a little tempted and wanted to invest in the shares.

Lei Jun also knew in his heart that investing would definitely not work. With Su Chen's strength, there was no need for him to invest. He could only give up the idea in his mind.

But soon Lei Jun had other ideas, but he still had to taste the food and understand Shufen Hotpot before making a decision.

"It seems that the decision to eat hotpot today is quite wise!" Lei Jun responded with a smile.

Soon the pot was served. As the pot gradually boiled, a rich aroma spread out. Everyone, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately felt some saliva in their mouths.

They were all tempted by the tempting smell.

Looking at the situation in the pot, Su Chen decisively poured some beef into the nine-square grid and said, "Boss Lei, we can start eating now. Just boil whatever you want!"

Lei Jun, who couldn't wait any longer, picked up two pieces of tripe and started to eat them, muttering "one, two..."

After taking a bite of the tripe, Lei Jun's eyes lit up. Both the taste and the texture were very nice, and he spoke in his hometown dialect, "This tripe is so good!"

Hearing the thick Hubei accent, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect Mr. Lei to be a sentimental person."

"Hahaha, this is because Mr. Su's hotpot is delicious!" Lei Jun has also eaten hotpot in other places, but compared with what he has in front of him, there is still quite a gap.

He now understood why Shufen Hotpot was doing so well and expanding so fast.

Thinking of his previous thoughts, just as he was about to ask Su Chen for his opinion, he saw Su Chen's phone beside him ringing.

When Su Chen saw the caller ID, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He apologized to Lei Jun, then stood up and walked aside to answer the phone.
