The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

"Bah!"

Zhang Hao thought it through and spat immediately.

"Shameless! Damn shameless!"

"When they named it 'Qingtai Capital', they didn't think about saving face. If you take it seriously, you will lose." Lin Ming laughed.

"No..."

Zhang Hao said anxiously: "Old Four, I already feel a sense of crisis after hearing what you said. After all, Yao Tiancheng and Ning Changping are not vegetarians. They are teaming up to target you, and they may even lead other industry leaders to join in. Aren't you anxious?"

"What's the use of me being anxious? I can't beg them not to go against me, right? Even if I really do this, will they agree?" Lin Ming didn't care.

"I don't mean that, but..."

Zhang Hao naturally understood the reason.

I can only say: "Then you don't want to know how much Qingtai Capital offered HSBC Shopping?"

"How much?" Lin Ming asked.

"360 million!"

Zhang Hao said in a deep voice: "It's twice as high as our offer!"

Lin Ming sighed inwardly.

He actually knew this a long time ago.

The sigh was not because of the competition from Qingtai Capital, but because of his foresight of the future, which eventually caused a butterfly effect.

If it weren't for his intervention, there would be no Qingtai Capital, and HSBC Shopping would have developed along the original trajectory instead of raising prices like it is now.

Of course.

For Lin Ming, these are all irrelevant.

It's nothing more than a slightly higher initial investment, but it's not beyond his tolerance.

Yao Tiancheng and Ning Changping want to compete with him in price?

Then let's see who has more money!

"Brother."

Lin Ming's voice suddenly became low: "Don't worry about HSBC Shopping for now. I'll talk to Li Dongsheng in person after I go back."

"Okay."

Zhang Hao didn't refuse, but his voice was filled with a little depression.

He had been the one who negotiated with HSBC Shopping.

And Zhang Hao himself knew that the reason why Lin Ming handed this matter to him was to test his ability.

After dragging on for so long, it seemed that there would be a result, but Qingtai Capital intervened again.

It was not that Zhang Hao thought that Lin Ming did not trust him.

But he knew very well that at this critical moment, he could no longer make the decision.

Lin Ming must want to cut the Gordian knot.

Otherwise, as time goes by, HSBC Shopping's asking price will only get higher and higher, and it is very likely that other capital will intervene and cause more trouble.

"Unhappy?"

Lin Ming heard the disappointment in Zhang Hao's tone and teased him immediately.

"That's not the case, it's just..."

Zhang Hao whispered: "I just feel that I am a failure."

"Mr. Zhang, don't play a trick on me here, okay? You have done well enough. If you want me to praise you, just say it directly. Why do you have to do this?"

Lin Ming deliberately hummed a few words.

Then he said: "If Qingtai Capital hadn't appeared, HSBC Shopping would have been in your pocket now. You could take over HSBC Shopping in just a few months. I didn't expect that."

Without waiting for Zhang Hao to speak.

Lin Ming continued: "Don't worry, I won't take you down from your current position. When HSBC Shopping is completely taken over, you will be the great contributor of Phoenix Capital. At that time, I will have to give you a promotion and a raise!"

"Okay, let's talk about it when you come back." Zhang Hao said.

Lin Ming's special comfort made him feel a little better.

"Zhang Hao, please take some time. After we go back, we will go to your house for dinner!" Chen Jia shouted.

"Welcome, welcome. You should take care of yourself too!"

"OK~"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ming shook his head and smiled.

Chen Jia said, "I can understand Zhang Hao's feelings. He could have taken over HSBC Shopping, but Qingtai Capital intervened. This completely deprived him of the opportunity to prove himself to you."

"I've already said that even now, it's enough to prove his ability." Lin Ming said.

Chen Jia stared at him for a while.

"Your inner state has reached this level? I find that no matter what Zhang Hao says, you seem to have known it for a long time, and you don't even have any emotional changes. Isn't this terrible?"

"What's so terrible about this? I have to make a fuss to match your definition of me!"

Lin Ming rolled his eyes: "Besides, I've told you a long time ago that I have the ability to predict the future, so I know everything about Qingtai Capital. What can I do if you don't believe me?"

"Boasting!"

Chen Jia pouted: "Then tell me, what will Qingtai Capital do next?"

"This...I really can't tell now. "

Lin Ming said seriously: "I can predict other people's future, but I can't predict my own future, nor yours."

"Qingtai Capital will definitely find a new way after I take action, so before I contact HSBC Shopping, I'm not sure what they will do."

"Just say you don't know, you treat me like a three-year-old child, using such childish means to coax me!" Chen Jia's face was full of disbelief.

Lin Ming shrugged, with no intention of continuing to prove himself.

It's one thing for him not to hide Chen Jia.

If Chen Jia doesn't believe what he said, that's another matter.

At least he didn't hide anything from Chen Jia, and he could get over it.

With a clear conscience!

It's a good thing for Lin Ming that Chen Jia doesn't believe it.

After all, Lin Ming didn't want Chen Jia to worry about it from the beginning, so he chose to conceal it.

"What are you going to do about HSBC Shopping?" Chen Jia asked again.

"Cold it! "

Lin Ming snorted coldly: "If Qingtai Capital wants to raise the price, let them try. In terms of cash flow, I, Lin Ming, have never been afraid of anyone!"

"What is your bottom line?" Chen Jia asked again.

Lin Ming thought about it and finally stretched out five fingers.

"5 billion?"

"50 billion!"

"What?!"

Chen Jia widened her eyes, obviously shocked by the number.

You have to understand.

HSBC Shopping's financing capacity is only within 1 billion at most, or even lower!

Beyond this number, I'm afraid investors will have to think about it carefully.

After all, HSBC Shopping is indeed only worth this investment!

"I'm not questioning your vision, but what I don't understand is that HSBC Shopping is also an online shopping website. JD.com, Ali Baba, Pinxixi, etc. have almost divided more than 90% of the online market. What magic does HSBC Shopping have that is worth your investment of 50 billion? "Chen Jia was puzzled.

"Because the future HSBC Shopping will be a behemoth worth over one trillion!"

Lin Ming said in a deep voice: "Do you really think that Qingtai Capital invested in HSBC Shopping just to target me? If they didn't see the potential of HSBC Shopping, let alone 360 ​​million in financing, they might not even take out 360,000!"

"However, they could not have expected that the future HSBC Shopping would be among the online giants that share the same status with Ali Baba and JD.com!"
