Fadil is acutely aware that the other party must be genuine.
The demeanor and attitude of the person sitting across from him cannot be feigned.
This realization suddenly filled him with a sense of ttery, making him feel restless.
Zhang Ziqi, the board secretary for Zara Banks, noticed Fadil’s prolonged silence and gently inquired, “Mr. Fadil, can you hear me?” Snapping back to reality, Fadil quickly responded,
“I can hear you! Miss Zhang, hello!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Zhang Ziqi nodded with a smile, stating, “Mr. Fadil, I won’t take up too much of your time. Let’s get to the point. The reason I’m reaching out is that Mr. Banks intends to acquire Zhi Sincere Group, and I’d like to know if you are open to selling. If so, we can start discussing the specifics of the acquisition.”
Fadil thought to himself how he longed for a sessor to take over his unsatisfactory property, allowing him to cash out and enjoy his retirement. He never imagined that one of the top chaebol families in the country would actually want to buy his business—something he never even dared to dream about.
So, he didn’t hesitate to agree, saying, “I’m indeed considering selling, but it depends on what kind of offer the Banks Group can provide!” Zhang Ziqi smiled and replied, “Since you’re interested in selling, let’s have Mr. Banks speak with you directly about the price. I’ll invite Mr. Fadil to join the meeting right away. I’ll also take minutes for the meeting.” Fadil, taken aback, asked, “Mr. Banks? Is that your chairman?”<fn3> This update is avable on find?novel</fn3>
“Yes, that’s correct,” Zhang Ziqi confirmed with a smile. “It’s our chairman, Ms. Zara Banks.”
Fadil felt even more ttered. How could a small tea business like his attract the attention of the Banks family’s patriarch?
Just then, Zara Banks entered the video conference room.
Upon her arrival, she greeted him politely, saying, “Mr. Fadil, I’m Zara Banks, the chairman of the Banks Group.”
Fadil’s voice trembled with excitement as he stammered, “…Hello, Miss Banks… I’ve heard so much about you…”
Zara Banks smiled and reassured him, “No need for such formality, Mr. Fadil. Ziqi has briefed you on the situation, so I won’t waste any time. I understand you are the majority shareholder of Zhicheng Group, so let’s discuss the price today. If wee to an agreement, I’ll have my legal team audit it tomorrow, and we can sign the contract.” Fadil was astonished, asking, “Is Ms. Banks really in such a hurry? To sign the contract tomorrow?”
Zara Banks replied with a smile, “To be honest, Mr. Fadil, if a transaction worth hundreds of millions of dors isn’t expedited, I’ll be overwhelmed with work every day. Let’s take advantage of this time to discuss our intentions. If we can move quickly, we will; if not, we’ll just waste everyone’s time.”
Zara Banks spoke calmly, then shared several key points with Fadil.
First, she mentioned that the transaction would be worth several hundred million yuan, which meant her bid for Zhicheng Group would not exceed one billion yuan. This effectively curtailed any hopes Fadil might have had of negotiating like a lion; to her, apany was merely a document to be reviewed, and although he felt a bit embarrassed, it wasn’t negative.
Curious, he asked, “Ms. Banks, why would argepany like the Banks Group be interested in a smallpany like ours?”
Zara Banksughed lightly and replied, “Mr. Fadil, don’t underestimate your own value. The worth of apany is determined by various factors. As for why the Banks Group wants to acquire your Zhicheng Group, the main reason is that my grandfather has a fondness for Pu’er tea. Given the frequent safety issues in the food industry today, I want to acquire a sourcepany to ensure he can enjoy the safest Pu-erh tea. It’s really not a significant expense, so please don’t worry.”
After hearing this, Fadil was left dumbfounded, contemting her words.<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
