Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 253 Competition Breeds Progress



Yang's Restaurant.

The wine had made three rounds, and the dishes had passed through five flavors.

Han Jun began, "President Xu, I would like to buy the Shengda Literature shares you acquired today from you. I wonder if you are willing to sell?"

This was Han Jun's purpose in inviting Xu Yang to dinner.

It was about time to eat and get down to business.

Xu Yang shook his head, "I'm sorry, President Han, I am bullish on the development of Shengda Literature and will not sell."

To this answer, Han Jun was not surprised and smiled, "President Xu, you are bullish on the development of Shengda Literature solely because you want to make money. I believe as long as the price is right, you would still be willing to sell, right?"

Penguin Group, with its deep pockets, didn't see money issues as a problem.

He was very confident that he could acquire the Shengda Literature shares from Xu Yang.

Xu Yang's lips revealed a slight smile, "President Han, you're not wrong, I am indeed looking to make money. If the price is right, naturally, I will sell. But I'm afraid you won't be able to meet my price."

Han Jun laughed, "President Xu, you haven't even named a price. How do you know I can't meet it?"

Xu Yang appeared somewhat troubled, "President Han, let's not talk about it, I'm afraid you really can't meet it."

He was telling the truth as he felt Han Jun wouldn't agree to his asking price.

"President Xu, that's underestimating me, and not just me, but also our Penguin Group."

"What's the status of our Penguin Group? A domestic internet titan, and we also hold a certain status internationally."

"Just name your price, and I will definitely meet it."

Han Jun's tone carried a hint of arrogance.

He had reasons to be proud.

For Penguin Group, a giant in the internet industry, buying the shares from Xu Yang's hands was no difficult task.

"Since President Han has put it that way, I can only name my price. 36 billion." Xu Yang said flatly.

"How much?" Han Jun was somewhat stunned, almost doubting his own ears.

"36 billion." Xu Yang repeated with a light smile.

"President Xu, aren't you being a little insincere? That's ten times the acquisition price." Han Jun's face started to darken.

"That's precisely ten times the price. I believe that's what Shengda Literature's future is worth, and naturally, I should sell at this price. How can you say I'm not sincere?" Xu Yang spread his hands.

"President Xu, this isn't fun anymore. I came here with genuine intent to buy your shares, but this price is just playing me." Han Jun said gravely.

"President Han, look at yourself. First, you say I'm not sincere, and now you say I'm playing you. But what did you say earlier? You said I should just name my price, and you would definitely satisfy me," Xu Yang said with a sneer.

"I..." Han Jun's face turned the color of iron, but he was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, it was he who had said that, relying on Penguin's financial clout and speaking with an air of arrogance.

But the price Xu Yang named was outrageous.

Ten times the acquisition price.

Snicker!

Han Mengting couldn't help but snicker at the sight of Han Jun being put in a spot.

After receiving a fierce glare from Han Jun, she quickly said, "Sorry, I just remembered a funny joke and couldn't help laughing. Please continue, haha."

The excuse was rather poor.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin gave Han Mengting a curious look, feeling that she might not be on Han Jun's side.

"Yu Xin, I want to go to the restroom, do you want to come with me?"

Han Mengting felt that she was not suitable to stay here anymore and should leave.

Regarding Xu Yang, she had no more thoughts.

However, she did want to get on good terms with Zhao Yuxin.

It wouldn't be bad to be friends with Zhao Yuxin and her husband.

"Sure." Zhao Yuxin had no objections and stood up to leave with Han Mengting.

In the private room, only Xu Yang and Han Jun were left.

"President Han, as I see it, sometimes you shouldn't talk too big, because it can easily put you in an awkward situation."

"The price I quoted wasn't intended to play you, I genuinely see great potential in Shengda Literature and think it's worth that much in the future."

"If you don't want to buy it, then let's forget it, I won't insist."

Xu Yang had never planned to sell, unless Han Jun really could pay thirty-six billion.

"President Xu, does this mean you really don't want to sell your stock shares?" Han Jun knew Xu Yang did not want to sell his shares, and that the high price was just an excuse.

"Look at you, President Han, I said I wouldn't sell, and you didn't believe me just now. You asked me to give a price, and when I did, you didn't have the money to buy. What do you expect me to say?" Xu Yang said, helplessly.

"President Xu, our Penguin definitely plans to enter the online literature industry. If you're unwilling to sell all your shares, how about selling a part of them? We can share the development dividends together," Han Jun's tone softened.

"I'm not sure how many shares you want." Xu Yang asked.

Letting Penguin buy into the company wasn't out of the question.

With Penguin joining, Shengda Literature's development would surely receive a significant boost.

"At least fifty-one percent of the shares. You should know, when our Penguin acquires a company, we at least want controlling interest, which is beneficial for our group's future strategic adjustments, and the subsidiary companies should comply with the group," Han Jun said.

"I'm sorry, President Han, but I can't agree to that. I also want controlling interest, at least for Shengda Literature," Xu Yang shook his head.

If Han Jun had only wanted ten percent or less of the shares, Xu Yang might have agreed.

He could discuss with Wang Xiaocong and together they could shift a small portion of the shares to Han Jun.

But Han Jun's starting bid was fifty-one percent for controlling interest; that was something Xu Yang could not agree to.

"President Xu, I would advise you to agree. If you do, you can just sit back and wait for the dividend income without worrying about anything. If you refuse, if you refuse, our Penguin will also acquire other online literature companies or establish our own. Then, you will face competition with our Penguin, which I presume is not what you want to see," Han Jun said.

"Competition it is, then. I think it's quite good. Shengda Literature has been dominant for too long, and it's natural for the company's people to become complacent. Competition is necessary for progress,"

Xu Yang was unfazed.

Even if Penguin got involved, he believed in Qiu Wenyu's ability to lead Shengda Literature forward.

In past competitions, Shengda Literature had always been the victor.

So what if Penguin enters the fray? Just bring it on.

"Are you serious, President Xu?" Han Jun narrowed his eyes.

He hadn't expected this guy to be so tough.

"Of course, I never joke about such matters," Xu Yang said with a smile.

"All right, it seems we are destined to be competitors. I hope Shengda Literature can hold on," Han Jun said.

"I believe that under the leadership of Qiu Wenyu, Shengda Literature will be fine. Your entry will only spur Shengda Literature on, pushing it to develop even better," Xu Yang said.

"President Xu, I must say, you are different from the rest. Others try to avoid competing with our Penguin, but you seem to welcome it. Just for that, I admire you," Han Jun said.

"You flatter me, President Han. I'm just a junior with much to learn from predecessors like you," Xu Yang said with a light smile.
