His gaze kept shifting towards the door of the private room opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan and Manager Guo had been talking inside for almost half an hour now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered about the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his speculation, Baidu's current IPO prospects were highly regarded by outsiders, and it wouldn't be easy to get hold of internal original shares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Fan really wanted to buy up these 400,000 original shares in one go, the price would likely be much higher than Baidu's internal purchase price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would definitely be fleeced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it all depended on Chen Fan's negotiation skills, it was just a matter of how much he would be overcharged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the second pot of tea was almost finished, the private room door finally opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan and Manager Guo walked out together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Manager Guo, it's been a pleasure doing business with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and extended his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Guo also smiled and shook his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected Mr. Chen to be so ambitious at such a young age. The young are indeed formidable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and complimented him back: \"Then I wish Manager Guo success in his future entrepreneurial endeavors, and that he personally leads his team to list on NASDAQ.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, upon hearing this, Manager Guo was elated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which businessman doesn't like the idea of their company going public?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, I'll take your kind words as a good omen, Mr. Chen. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certainly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, don't see me off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Guo exchanged pleasantries with Chen Fan, then glanced at Chen Wenchao who had stood up, merely nodding in acknowledgment before turning to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao walked over quickly, asking curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did the deal go through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"400,000 shares?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao's eyes widened: \"You... must have spent quite a bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and said: \"Indeed. I was thoroughly fleeced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao shook his head, clearly not believing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Chen Fan quite well by now. During the last negotiation, even the company headquarters couldn't get the better of this young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, even when the CEO personally stepped in to negotiate with Chen Fan, this young man still managed to secure a 50 million yuan acquisition price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Wenchao also knew very well that he would never learn the specific acquisition price from Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably only these two would ever know the inside story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan seemed to be in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must thank you again for the introduction. When I get back, I'll have someone transfer another 50,000 yuan to your card.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao felt a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually... I didn't do much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are your plans now, Mr. Chen? Will you be staying in Beijing for a while?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded: \"I'll probably stay for another day or two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao suggested: \"Why don't I treat you to a good meal then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Mr. Chen wants to properly tour Beijing, I can also be your guide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't be necessary. To be honest, my girlfriend is currently doing her postgraduate studies in Beijing. I want to spend the next two days with her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Wenchao also smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. Then I won't interfere with Mr. Chen's private time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted and laughed as they took the elevator down together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the elevator reached the lobby, Chen Fan smiled and gestured for Chen Wenchao to go first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao smiled and was about to step out when suddenly a hand reached out from outside and blocked his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, this way! The elevator on this side has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slightly fawning voice came through, sounding familiar to Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao's expression turned a bit sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me, please let us through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the young man just glared: \"What's the rush? It'll be just a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Wenchao became displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, mind your manners. Don't you know that those exiting the elevator go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I didn't say you couldn't come out. Why are you in such a hurry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the young man held the elevator door and waved excitedly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, over here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, two more young men in suits walked over. Seeing them carrying cameras and recording equipment, with press badges hanging around their necks, they seemed to be reporters from a certain Beijing newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Wenchao promptly shut his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't be bothered to argue with such people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dealing with reporters was never a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these guys latched onto him and randomly spouted nonsense online, if it reached the company, his job might be in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Zhou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao was startled, because he realized it was Chen Fan behind him who had spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiangyu was also taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who called me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan then emerged from behind, smiling as he looked at Zhou Xiangyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really was this guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiangyu's expression suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it's you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected to encounter the boyfriend of Su Ruochu, the junior he secretly admired, here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they'd met, he couldn't not greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and casually asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Senior doing an internship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiangyu immediately straightened his back, puffing up with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see? This is my senior. He now works at a famous newspaper in Beijing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My senior and I are here today to interview an important figure in the business world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiangyu wore a smug expression, \"You know Baidu, right? We're interviewing a big shot from Baidu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not everyone gets this kind of opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but tease Chen Fan a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, you just arrived in Beijing, planning to look around? But you're too unsophisticated, who comes to a tea restaurant for sightseeing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporter senior beside Zhou Xiangyu asked curiously: \"Xiangyu, is this your friend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiangyu smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really a friend, he's the boyfriend of a junior sister. I think he's from... anyway, some small place. Probably hasn't seen the grandeur of Beijing before, wants to look around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Chen Fan was from out of town, the reporter senior didn't say anything more, just took out his phone to make a call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao beside them was almost laughing from anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did this idiot come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dares to mock Mr. Chen for coming from a small place and being unsophisticated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he's proudly saying they're going to interview a big shot from Baidu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am from Baidu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This 'country bumpkin' you're talking about has personally negotiated with Baidu's CEO.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he bought 400,000 original shares from Baidu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I told you, it would scare you to death, you fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Chen Wenchao suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, they're here for an interview, could it be Manager Guo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Chen Fan also spoke slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're planning to interview Manager Guo, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I advise you not to go up, because Manager Guo has already come down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiangyu looked at Chen Fan in surprise, while the reporter senior beside him looked at Chen Fan curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... know Manager Guo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1265,"2026-06-05T15:06:59.735Z",1,"novelbin.me","386e9e4a83d908d65c3939eb2c7d889c15667d876c24627464b0d02cf75cb031","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-590","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-588",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
