Chapter 224 It turns out that everything is a mistake
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Zhao Xuan smiled, but did not directly answer Chen Yan's question.
He waved to the butler and pointed to the cup .
The butler immediately understood what was going on and came to Chen Yan, bowed and asked, "Hello, Mr. Chen, what would you like to drink?"
Chen Yan didn’t know what to drink.
So he made the least wrong decision, "Water."
"Okay. Please wait a moment." The butler agreed and went to prepare a drink for Chen Yan.
With the butler's interruption, the conversation immediately returned to the hands of the chubby Zhao Xuan.
He looked at Chen Yan and asked with concern, "Xiao Chen, um...can I call you that?"
Chen Yan nodded, "Okay."
Zhao Xuan nodded, and as if to change the subject, he said, "Xiao Chen, you started a company from scratch and have come this far step by step. It must have been difficult, right? Have you encountered any troubles recently?"
Chen Yan glanced at Zhao Xuan, not knowing what his purpose was in saying this.
So Chen Yan thought about it for a while and said tentatively, "Well... it's not easy. I've encountered some minor troubles recently."
Zhao Xuan said "Oh?" and asked, "Is it convenient? Tell me about it."
Chen Yan nodded and talked about the problems he had encountered recently.
Basically, the next new game of your game company wants to go global, so you need to be familiar with the ACG culture or the translation of game terms into various languages. And it is best to have voice actors in the corresponding languages to do targeted optimization.
After listening to Chen Yan's troubles, Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "The translation problem...is not difficult."
"Our group has been engaged in cross-border trade and has resources in these areas. If you trust me, I can help you make the connection."
"As for voice actors and the like, we don't really have any related companies, but I can help you find a relevant partner company."
"I believe that the treatment will be the fairest."
"With the global influence of our Zhao Group, 90% of the problems your company will encounter now and in the future can be easily solved."...
Chen Yan didn't feel happy after listening to Zhao Xuan's words...
As early as in the car, when Chen Yan was looking up information about the manor, he guessed the identity of Zhao Ying's father: the head of the Zhao family's branch in Qindong Province. He was considered an important official in the Zhao Group and a giant in Qindong Province.
So after entering the door, Chen Yan remained vigilant.
You have to know that the man in front of you is not a kind person. The Zhao family has always adhered to the principle of giving priority to the capable. Therefore, being able to manage a branch and a business worth hundreds of billions in a province is enough to show that the man in front of you is not as simple as he looks.
When I asked such a person about his purpose, he talked about his own company, which was the most obvious hint.
So Chen Yan's heart trembled, and he took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Zhao, are you interested in my company?"
Zhao Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of admiration, and he said with a smile, "It's not me, it's the Zhao Group."
Chen Yan asked back, "Why?"
Both of them were smart people. They knew that Chen Yan was not asking why he was interested in his company, but why he noticed his company.
So Zhao Xuan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "In the beginning, those veterans in your company were the talents that Yingying seconded to you from the group."
"The group will pay attention to and keep records of these seconded personnel."
"So, your company has naturally come into the group's attention."
As the two were talking, the butler brought a glass of water and placed it in front of Chen Yan.
Then he bowed and went down.
Zhao Xuan gestured with his hand, then poured himself a cup of tea.
Chen Yan's nose twitched slightly . The tea had the scent of jasmine flowers. It seemed to be jasmine tea.
The grade and price of scented tea have always been low among all major tea varieties, so Chen Yan was a little surprised that Zhao Xuan was drinking jasmine tea.
But if you think about it, with Zhao Xuan's status and wealth, he probably doesn't care about the price or other people's evaluation. It doesn't matter whether it's cheap or expensive, the main thing is that he likes to drink.
Even if he drinks tea that costs 100 yuan per catty, no one would think he is poor.
While Chen Yan was guessing about Zhao Xuan's tea, Zhao Xuan took a sip of tea and continued, "After that, the group will loan you talents, and you will need to make a choice when the term expires."
Having said that, Zhao Xuan introduced to Chen Yan the choices that Cheng Tianxiang and Fat Phoenix could make.
Then he said, "And the several employees who were seconded to your company are all willing to stay in your company."
“This situation is not uncommon, but it fully demonstrates the potential and cohesion of your company.”
"So, after conducting a preliminary investigation and evaluation of your gaming company, the group wants to invest in your company."
Chen Yan frowned slightly.
Because he suddenly realized...he seemed to know nothing about these things.
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Ying.
Why does Brother Ying tell me everything?
Seeing Chen Yan looking at Zhao Ying, Zhao Xuan said with a smile, "Don't blame Yingying. She actually doesn't know these things."
"When she first found me, she also said that she and her friends wanted to start a business together."
"That's why I assigned her talents from the group."
"As a result, I didn't expect that by some strange coincidence, the group would notice your company."
Chen Yan nodded, and then said, "But... when the talent's contract expires, they have to go back to report on their work and make a career choice. I don't know either."
Zhao Xuan looked at him and smiled, "Impossible."
"Think about it again."
"I have talked to Yingying about this. Although I asked her not to tell you, she is a loyal person and will definitely give you a hint."
'hint?'
Chen Yan pondered for a moment, and then suddenly remembered Zhao Ying's reminder that "Xu Brothers Pictures wanted to poach Song Chuang"...
At that time, Chen Yan always thought that Zhao Ying had obtained some intelligence and was tipping him off, so he began to secretly investigate several senior executives of the company.
Then when we found Song Chuang, we discovered the problem.
But... he heard some details of the party in Song Chuang's mind: for example, only Song Chuang and the Xu brothers were present, it was a very private party, and it was almost impossible for a fourth person to know...
Chen Yan also felt strange at the time, but he only guessed that Zhao Ying might have heard it through some special channels.
But now I think about it...
Zhao Ying reminded himself at that time that "someone was targeting his employees", but he didn't say that it was actually the Zhao Group that was transferring those talents back, right?
So, everything was just an accident? An accident?
And what Zhao Ying really reminded him of had actually been resolved quietly?
Chen Yan's expression was a little weird for a moment...
Seeing the constantly changing expressions on Chen Yan's face, Zhao Xuan smiled and drank a sip of tea, then said, "You should remember it now, right?"
After hearing what Zhao Xuan said, Chen Yan came back to his senses and nodded.
"Yes. Zhao Ying did remind me."
Although he remained calm on the surface, Chen Yan was even more alert in his heart.
This person is indeed not as simple as he appears.
He planned everything clearly, even taking his daughter's personality into account.
But... he was clearly representing the Zhao Group to acquire his company, so why did he let Zhao Ying tip him off in advance?
This doesn't make sense.
Chen Yan didn't say it, but Zhao Xuan seemed to have guessed what Chen Yan was thinking. He said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, actually... you really don't need to be too nervous or vigilant."
"You've been on edge since you came into my house."
Zhao Xuan slowly shook his head, "That's not necessary."
He said earnestly,
"The Zhao Group is huge, but because it is so large, the interests of its various branches and offshoots are not completely unified."
"The group has high hopes for you, but have I not also had high hopes for you?"
"However, the group wants to inject capital into you, but I think it's better not to do so."
He blinked, "After all... the investment has nothing to do with me and Yingying."
"Instead of investing, I helped you build a team before, so you have to accept my favor. And Yingying is your friend. When you become successful, if something happens to us, you won't just let us go, right?"
Chen Yan looked at Zhao Xuan in surprise.
Zhao Xuan looked at Chen Yan's expression with satisfaction, then said with a smile, "Don't think too much. The Zhao family is too big. Everyone has different ideas."
"For example, I prefer to specialize in one field, grow it bigger and stronger, become a world leader, then build technological barriers and set technical standards. Then I will be invincible."
"Some people are thinking of relying on the existing power of the Zhao family to expand the entire pie as much as possible and extend their tentacles into various fields to form a diversified ecological environment."
"The taxi we take is from a company owned by the Zhao family, the books we read are from a company owned by the Zhao family, the music we listen to is from a company owned by the Zhao family, and even the car we buy is developed by a company owned by the Zhao family."
"Neither is better or worse, they just take different paths."
After saying that, Zhao Xuan stood up, patted Chen Yan's shoulder with his chubby hand, and said, "Okay, don't think too much."
"Let's go. Let's go eat."
"Let me tell you, today, I specially invited this chef to entertain you."
“Don’t miss it.”
Chen Yan was a little confused and went to the restaurant with Zhao Xuan.
My brain suddenly stopped working because of the huge amount of information.
Zhao Ying, who had been boxing nearby, stopped his boxing when he saw the two men go to the restaurant.
She took off her gloves, threw them on the ground, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then followed him.
Zhao Xuan was indeed not lying. The chef tonight was indeed very skilled. They were all specialty seafood from Qindao, but the food he prepared was extremely fresh and delicious, without any fishy or earthy smell. Chen Yan, who had been used to eating seafood since childhood, praised it in his heart as being really delicious.
While eating, Zhao Xuan did as he said and never mentioned the capital injection again, as if he was just dealing with the task assigned by the group.
Chen Yan secretly used his inner earphones.
