Chapter 1417 - 1393: Not for Sale!

Ren Feng discovered them, yet they did not notice him entering due to the screen's obstruction.

Ren Feng didn't go up to greet them because he didn't understand the situation yet, and doing so recklessly would only affect Liou Rumei's work.

He didn't believe he had any commercial genius, but he absolutely trusted that Liou Rumei possessed such qualities.

Thus, he sat down on the other side of the screen, casually pulled a magazine from the bookshelf behind him, opened it to cover his face, and began his eavesdropping plan.

"Miss Liou, this is already our third time here, showing our sincerity. You should at least give us a statement, right?" The chubby-faced man with a rich appearance said in Huaxia Language with a strong Hong Kong-Taiwan accent.

"Mr. Wang, you came twice, and I answered twice. The first time you came, I said no. The second time you came, I said no. The third time you came, you asked me again — I said no. Will you be coming a fourth time?" Liou Rumei said with a gentle smile.

Although she was rejecting others, it wasn't offensive at all; instead, it gave a warm feeling like a gentle spring breeze.

This woman, when she smiles, looks enchanting. Any man would like to take a few more glances; how could he possibly get angry about it?

"Why not sell, then? You must give me a reason." Mr. Wang said with a smile, "We are all businessmen; anything can be discussed among businessmen. Right?"

"No reason. Just don't want to sell." Liou Rumei said with a smile, taking a sip of her coffee.

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman was somewhat anxious, speaking in stiff Huaxia Language: "Miss Liou — we have already increased from fifty billion — US Dollar — to now — one hundred fifty billion — US Dollar — why do you still — refuse?"

"Miss Lucy, I explained to you, I don't want to sell." Liou Rumei said, looking at the foreign woman.

Ren Feng listened beside them, a bit puzzled. Five hundred billion US Dollar, does that sound like a lot?

The current Qingcheng International under Liou Rumei indeed isn't worth that much, but the problem is that its development potential is infinite, and there's an alliance behind it. Making that amount is just a matter of time.

"Why don't you want to sell?" When the woman spoke the last word, she noticeably raised her voice.

Liou Rumei smiled brightly: "Why don't you give me a reason why I should sell? Otherwise, I really can't figure out why I should do so."

"Miss Liou, I can answer that question." Mr. Wang said with a smile. "Cole Company is the world's largest consumer goods company, the sixth-largest company by market value globally, and the fourteenth-most profitable company worldwide. It is also the tenth most admired company in Fortune 500.

Cole Company has nearly a hundred thousand employees worldwide, with factories and subsidiaries in over eighty countries, and its more than three hundred brands' products are sold in over one hundred sixty countries and regions. Miss Liou, you are a clever person; after hearing this, what do you think?"

"This has nothing to do with me." Liou Rumei smiled, pretending not to understand.

"NO, NO, NO, it has a lot to do, very closely related." Mr. Wang shook a finger and said, "Think about it, Cole Company is willing to spend so much money to acquire Qingcheng International, it must be aiming to make money. How to make money? Naturally, it's about pushing Qingcheng International's products to the entire world.

If you rely on your own strength to promote, it will be quite difficult, and it could take ten or even dozens of years, very exhausting.

However, if Cole Company promotes them — haha, that would be very easy. Because their channels are already mature, just a change in packaging and function description for different countries and regions would suffice.

Ms. Lucy is representing Cole Corporation in negotiations, and she will explain these to you in detail."

"Yes, Miss Liou, we — hold high hopes for it, I assure you — we will definitely — manage — this brand well." The blue-eyed demon nodded in agreement.

"But I still don't see, what does this have to do with me?" Liou Rumei said, "My product is making money, it's making money every day, you're optimistic about its market prospects, and so am I. I really don't understand why I should sell it."

"Miss Liou, don't you want to sell your products to the world?"

"I do." Liou Rumei replied. "We are also doing so, we are preparing to enter the Japan and South Korea market, and we believe it will continue to create sales miracles."

"Miss Liou, you should know, the survival rate of Huaxia enterprises is extremely low. I don't mean to say difficult things, but we speak with data. Eighty percent of enterprises in Huaxia Country don't survive five years, and more small and medium-sized enterprises go bankrupt within two years — if Qingcheng International joins the Cole family, it wouldn't face such risks."

"By that time, I would have sold my company to you. Even if it could still make money for a hundred years, what does it have to do with me?" Liou Rumei said with a giggle.

Mr. Wang also laughed and said, "We have prepared a total of two plans this time, we talked to you about it last time. We can also collaborate through capital injection —"

Liou Rumei decisively declined, saying, "Thank you. But we really don't lack money right now."

"But you lack channels, you lack the sales channels in over one hundred sixty countries worldwide."

"We will do public relations, country by country. Didn't Cole Company do it this way back in the day?"

"Why choose the hard way?"

"This isn't choosing the hard way. People live to find meaningful things to do. I already have enough money to enjoy for a lifetime, what should I do with the rest of my life? Can sitting in a daze really make oneself feel high?"

Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Miss Liou is a very interesting person. Truly rare, very rare indeed."

"Therefore, I really can't sell Qingcheng International to Cole. I ask everyone to understand. I also feel regret for not being able to collaborate with such an excellent company." Liou Rumei very tactfully expressed her decision.

"We are also very regretful." Mr. Wang said, glancing at the thin man sitting across from them, engrossed in flipping through a magazine.

The man seemed to have some sort of sense, as he closed the magazine in his hand, took a sip of the green tea in front of him, and looked at Liou Rumei and said, "Why not reconsider, Miss Liou?"

"I've thought it over very carefully, and I won't sell." Liou Rumei said, looking warily at the man who hadn't appeared in the previous two negotiations and, though present this third time, hadn't spoken up, just kept his head buried in a magazine.
