Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1221: Who Do You Think You Are!

Bai Xiaosheng and Li Ni, one in front of the other, entered the conference room.

Jiang Zun and about five or six others were sitting in a row behind the conference table, chatting and laughing.

Jiang Zun had a smile on his face, looking quite pleased with himself.

The others were all smiling obsequiously and nodding incessantly, giving Jiang Zun thumbs up. It seemed they were very optimistic about the entrepreneurial project proposed by Jiang Hao just a moment ago.

In fact, these people had all known about it in advance.

There was someone named Jiang Hao, who was cousins with Manager Jiang but closer than brothers...

Naturally, they had to give face to the leader...

To be strict, Jiang Hao’s entrepreneurial project wasn’t remarkably good, but it wasn’t terrible either.

It fell short of excellence but exceeded mediocrity. It was barely passable, merely acceptable.

Only after Bai Xiaosheng and his companion entered did the group restrain their emotions and sit upright formally.

Jiang Zun swept his gaze across the room.

He immediately saw Li Ni, who was behind Bai Xiaosheng.

Jiang Hao had described this man’s appearance to him a long time ago, but at that time, it was to ask for his help.

Just now, Jiang Hao had passed him a note under the guise of giving a presentation, asking him to teach Li Ni a lesson.

Jiang Zun did not know what had transpired to make these friends turn against each other, but he firmly believed that it must be Li Ni’s fault.

Otherwise, his exceedingly ”benevolent” cousin wouldn’t be so angry.

”I must vent this frustration for Jiang Hao!”

Jiang Zun’s eyes narrowed slightly, his mind made up.

”Entrepreneurs, where is your business plan?” someone gentle by Jiang Zun’s side asked.

Li Ni quickly took out the business plan from his shoulder bag and presented it.

Bai Xiaosheng had flipped through this document in the corridor and, with the help of Red Lotus, had committed it to memory.

He even learned about the general content of Jiang Hao’s business plan from Li Ni.

To be frank, Li Ni’s business plan did indeed fall short compared to Jiang Hao’s, strictly speaking it was the difference between a score of fifty and sixty.

One failing, the other barely passing.

In the corridor, Bai Xiaosheng discussed with Li Ni about the commercialization of his project, proposing a whole set of novel and interesting business concepts, which was also a process for Bai Xiaosheng to sort out his own thoughts.

After thinking it through, Bai Xiaosheng felt that Li Ni’s project actually had potential, albeit not much short-term profit, but was still a worthwhile investment in the long run.

After refining the concept, Bai Xiaosheng even felt that Li Ni’s business plan could score seventy!

Even surpass Jiang Hao’s project!

Bai Xiaosheng, with the assistance of Red Lotus, had also put in a lot of thought into this matter.

Of course, he came to regard it as half of his own creation.

Li Ni’s business plan was the first to be handed over to Jiang Zun.

Jiang Zun glanced at it briefly, then tossed it onto the table.

”This business plan is Mr. Li Ni’s? Then, who are you?” Jiang Zun pointed at Bai Xiaosheng and asked coldly.

”A partner.” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile, simply answering with three words.

From the reaction on Jiang Zun’s face, Bai Xiaosheng could tell that he obviously had an aversion towards Li Ni and this project.

Without looking, without listening, he became resistant?

It seems that Jiang Hao must have mentioned something to him, Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

”Then who will do the presentation?” Jiang Zun asked indifferently.

Li Ni couldn’t help but look towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Speaking was his weakest skill.

”I’ll do it,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Jiang Zun nodded, gesturing for Bai Xiaosheng to start.

Bai Xiaosheng began to speak, his voice steady and unhurried.

He talked about everything from the current industry status of the startup project to its future development, from customer positioning to the marketing model, covering all aspects.

Li Ni was transfixed, watching Bai Xiaosheng in disbelief.

He seemed like a true expert!

Bai Xiaosheng had not referred to the written business plan at all, but whenever he touched upon the content, it was as if he was picking it effortlessly out of thin air, without any mistakes!

The business plan was something Li Ni had painstakingly crafted bit by bit, he knew its content best, but even he would not be able to present it like Bai Xiaosheng had, without so much as a glance, flawlessly.

Yet Bai Xiaosheng had done it!

To Li Ni, he seemed almost godly!

Bai Xiaosheng had merely listened to it once and flipped through it once.

That was all!

How could this be possible!

Unbelievable——

”Is this guy even human!” Li Ni couldn’t help muttering to himself.

The auditors sitting with Jiang Zun at first thought the pitch about the purple clay teapot industry was trivial and saw little investment value in it.

But as Bai Xiaosheng went through his proposal, by the end, they were actually intrigued and even fully engaged.

Even they thought it was feasible!

Jiang Zun initially appeared somewhat listless, but as he listened, he couldn’t help but sit up straight.

Yet, there was no joy in his demeanor.

”The funding requested in the business plan is three million, but I hope to raise it to an investment of five million,” Bai Xiaosheng finally declared.

The concluding remark startled Li Ni.

Five million!

Has Bai Xiaosheng lost his mind!

Although what he said really was excellent and his analysis thorough, following his reasoning, five million... did seem appropriate.

But that was asking people to invest real silver!

Li Ni originally thought one point five million would be good; it was Jiang Hao who had him change it to three million, saying they could negotiate down from a higher amount but no one would voluntarily offer more.

So, Li Ni uneasily marked it at three million.

But now, Bai Xiaosheng directly added another two million.

Simply a lion’s mouth indeed...

Li Ni couldn’t help swallowing hard.

The people sitting on either side of Jiang Zun whispered to each other, murmuring quietly.

With the help of Red Lotus, Bai Xiaosheng naturally heard their whispers clearly—

”I think this project is quite interesting; five million is actually quite suitable...”

”The required investment is a bit high, but I don’t see a problem with the project itself; I’m very interested...”

”We could give it a try; there might be a pleasant surprise...”

People were repeatedly expressing their approval.

A smile curled up on Bai Xiaosheng’s lips.

The entrepreneurial project, after his strategic adjustments, was worth that price.

Bai Xiaosheng felt a bit proud of himself.

”For such a project, you want us to invest five million?”

Jiang Zun spoke up.

He sneered and picked up the business plan from the table, tossing it towards Bai Xiaosheng like tossing out trash.

Bai Xiaosheng’s brows furrowed slightly.

”Who do you think you are!” Jiang Zun asked Bai Xiaosheng with a mocking tone and a serious face.

...

In the corridor.

Jiang Hao watched the meeting room door with a sneer.

Li Ni, who was unaware of his imminent doom, had dared to defy him, so it would be absurd if he managed to get through!

Jiang Hao waited to enjoy the show.

Not just him, Guo Yueyao, Zhou Sifang, and many others were craning their necks in anticipation, waiting to see the commotion.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying quietly looked in the same direction.

Three minutes passed, unaware of the situation inside.

At that moment.

From the other end of the corridor, a group of people approached.

The person at the forefront seemed to be a high-ranking leader, with others crowding around him, constantly seeking his directives.

This person hurried along, responding as he went, and when he reached this area and saw the many people in the corridor, he glanced over casually, but his gaze instantly froze.

The man was startled, his pupils sharply constricting, as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.

Then, he shook off the crowd and strode over quickly.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying heard the commotion and turned to look, just in time to see him.

”You two... What are you doing here!” exclaimed the man in surprise.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a smile and stood up.

”What a coincidence, Director Yao!”

The newcomer was Yao Yucheng, the Vice President of Human Resources, who had represented Xuelian Wan He in recruiting on Nanyu!
