Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 21 The Zheng Family's Sincerity

Five days later.

The largest restaurant in the urban area of ​​the Central China base.

The fifth-floor private room.

Shen Ping and the Zheng family head had arranged to have dinner here. Although it was just the two of them, there were quite a few dishes on the table, and more than ten well-dressed waiters were there to serve them.

After two glasses of wine...

Zheng Guorui pointed to the dishes on the table and asked with a smile, "President Shen, how is it? Does it suit your taste? If not, I'll have them make it again."

This restaurant is owned by the Zheng family. Those who come and go are all wealthy and powerful, and the annual profit is considerable. This table of dishes alone is worth more than ten million. Ordinary martial artists simply cannot afford it, and even some business owners in the base city do not dare to eat here often.

Sensing the other party's sincerity, Shen Ping got straight to the point: "President Zheng, I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything. It's an honor to meet you today. If there's anything you need, President Zheng, please don't hesitate to ask. As long as it's within my power, I promise I'll agree."

Seeing that Shen Ping spoke so frankly.

Zheng Guorui stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "It's like this, I heard from Manager Feng of the HR Alliance that Pingwei Materials Company can provide materials for two Lord-level monsters every year, so I want to cooperate with President Shen."

Shen Ping leaned forward. "I don't know how we can cooperate?"

Zheng Guorui pondered for a moment and said, "If Pingwei Materials Company can provide my Zheng family with one mid-level lord-level monster every year, then Mr. Shen will receive 40% of the annual profits from this restaurant, plus half a percent of the Zheng Group's shares, and a villa."

"Villas in Lishui District".

Upon hearing this...

Shen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he didn't know the exact amount of profit this restaurant made each year, it was definitely over five billion. This alone brought in two billion in revenue. Adding the shares in the Zheng Group, the total value far exceeded the materials of a mid-level lord-level monster.

In addition, there are villas in Lishui District.

Lishui District is the largest area in the Central China Base City. The people living there are not ordinary people. A villa there is almost equivalent to a small estate, and its value is incomparable to the Wuzhe Villa in Nanyuan Community.

These conditions are indeed very appealing.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if the Zheng family wanted to win over the mid-level war god behind him, the amount they offered was far too much.

Thinking of this.

Shen Ping picked up a piece of meat and chewed it, then said, "President Zheng, my Pingwei Materials Company has only been developing for a few years. It's already the limit that we can cooperate with the HR Alliance and the military. I'm afraid we are not fortunate enough to cooperate with the Zheng family. Moreover, with the financial resources and connections of the Zheng Group, acquiring a medium-level lord-level monster material shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Zheng Guorui shook his head and said, "President Shen overestimates the Zheng family. As a martial artist, you should know how difficult it is to hunt a mid-level lord-level monster. In terms of financial resources, the Zheng family can indeed obtain one, but it is not easy to keep obtaining them."

"The competition in materials is fierce among countries around the world, including various base cities in China. My Zheng family doesn't have any mid-level war gods behind us."

He spoke with a self-deprecating tone in his last sentence.

Shen Ping remained silent.

He knew that what Zheng Guorui said later was true. Domestic conglomerates were huge in the base city, but they were not enough compared to the core families of underground alliances in Europe and other countries. Most of the War God powerhouses they could recruit were only novice War Gods.

"Mr. Shen, to be honest, my Zheng family mainly wants these materials to exchange for resources. How about it? If you agree, we can sign the contract now, and then our two families can work together to make progress in the Central China base city!"

Zheng Guorui stared intently at Shen Ping with bright eyes.

Today's terms are partly because we genuinely want to cooperate with Pingwei Materials Company, and partly to test the strength of the War God behind them. Being able to reliably hunt mid-level Lord-level War Gods is considered above average in terms of combat power.

If they can get in touch with this person, the Zheng family's influence in the HR Alliance Mall will increase significantly.

Shen Ping didn't rush to respond. He ate his food slowly, taking more than ten minutes before raising his glass and saying, "President Zheng, it's been a pleasure doing business with you."

The Zheng family is a conglomerate in the base city.

The Shen family cannot develop without the Zheng family; it is better to cooperate now than to clash with each other in the future.

Zheng Guorui laughed heartily, raised his glass as well, and clinked glasses with it.

The atmosphere became much more harmonious after that.

After a hearty meal and drinks.

Zheng Guorui said with a smile, "The restaurant also has a private lounge. If Mr. Shen wants to relax, I can arrange it for you. The massage therapists here have a very special technique."

Shen Ping immediately understood what President Zheng meant. He shook his head and declined, saying, "I'd better not. I'm not used to being in other places."

"Okay, let's go sit down and have a cup of tea to sober up."

"How about we have the company's legal department take a look at the contract first?"

"Can."

The two walked out of the private room, and many people who were waiting at the door immediately followed them. However, as soon as they took the elevator to the second floor, Shen Ping heard a familiar voice.

"Sorry, Chen Yu, I haven't thought about dating during my university years."

Look in the direction of the sound.

It turned out to be my distant cousin, Su Yin.

He walked straight over. "Xiaoyin, what are you doing here?"

Su Yin turned around, paused for a moment, then exclaimed happily, "Ah, brother-in-law... classmate, it's my classmate's birthday celebration, so I came along."

Chen Yu, who was standing next to him, frowned. Just as he was about to greet Su Yin's cousin-in-law, he saw a middle-aged man with a square face walking over, followed by a number of people. He hurriedly ran forward to greet him, "Uncle Zheng."

Zheng Guorui smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, what brings you to this restaurant today?"

Chen Yu replied, "It's my birthday, so I brought my classmates to celebrate."

Zheng Guorui glanced at Su Yin and immediately guessed what was going on. He then turned to Shen Ping and said, "Young people always like to have a lively celebration for their birthdays. Mr. Shen, who is this?"

"My wife's cousin."

Shen Ping gave an introduction.

Zheng Guorui said gently, "If there are any gatherings in the future, come here."

He had just finished speaking.

Someone behind me notified the restaurant manager to bring me a card.

After dealing with this small matter.

The two then went to have tea and rest. After sitting in the tea room for about half an hour, the company's legal counsel delivered the contract. They both signed it, officially establishing a cooperation agreement.

Leave the restaurant.

Seeing Su Yin standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Shen Ping decided to give her a ride.

"Brother-in-law, I haven't caused you any trouble, have I?"

Su Yin lowered her head and said weakly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Shen Ping glanced at the rearview mirror and casually said, "No, but what about that Chen, Chen Yu, right? Did he bother you afterwards?"

Su Yin then revealed a sweet smile, "They didn't bother me anymore and were much more polite to me. Brother-in-law, please take me home. I won't be going back to school tonight."

Shen Ping nodded. He didn't press for details. It was just that Chen Yu wanted to use the birthday celebration to confess his feelings. This kind of thing was normal at school. As long as he wasn't forced to comply, he wouldn't bother with it.
