After finishing their meals, they each paid for their own meals and was prepared to leave, while Si Chen stayed within the restaurant, as he told Xiao Meng that he had some matters to settle.
And before they left, he threw a glare towards Yang Yun, as if warning him to behave himself and to take care of his sister.
Si Chen then made his way towards one of the waiters, as he questioned, "Are you able to contact the boss of the restaurant."
The waiter stared curiously at Si Chen for a while, before she politely replied while pointing to a corner of the restaurant, "Our manager at the side is able to."
After thanking her, he then strode towards the direction she pointed at, where a lady wearing a rather professional attire was, and then asked her, "Are you able to call the boss? I'm here to talk about investment matters."
Investment? The lady's ears perked up upon hearing this, and she then quickly called her boss on the phone and told him about this.
Later, she ushered him towards a slightly more luxurious table, and told Si Chen to patiently wait for their boss to come.
A while later, Si Chen saw a man walking towards his direction. He gave off a rather distinctive aura as he glanced at Si Chen and extended his hand in greeting, "I am Fang Bin, the boss of the Seafood Restaurant."
Si Chen reciprocated his gesture as he introduced himself, "I am Si Chen, and am here to express my intention to invest into your restaurant."
A gleam shone within Fang Bin's eyes as he heard this, as he promptly sat down and directly asked, "What is your offer?"
After their business went downhill, they were also quite a few people who wanted to take advantage of their situation and invest within, with most of them expressing ridiculous demands.
The youth in front of him looked only 16, barely in High School, so he probably was either a rich young master who came out to have some fun using his parent's money, or an idiot.
Judging by the calmness in Si Chen's eyes, he was probably the former.
"Let's not talk about the offer first. Let's talk about your Seafood Restaurant." Si Chen started to say.
Fang Bin raised his eyebrows in curiosity, but remained silent.
"Although the food here is not very flavorful, probably due to the fact that you are lacking funds right now, I know that this place definitely could not fall to the state where food poisoning actually occurs. So most likely, there is someone in the back orchestrating all this, which led to the disaster which descended onto your restaurant." Si Chen spoke in a calm and careless manner, as if he was talking about the weather.
Fang Bin eyes narrowed as he heard Si Chen's words, with slight waves rolling within his heart.
"So could you tell me, who is behind all of this?" Si Chen paused for a while, before he inquired, his eyes staring right at Fang Bin.
"Why should I?" Fang Bin sprouted out his words as he felt an unease within Si Chen's stare, as if he was totally vulnerable in front of him.
"Because not only will I invest into your store, I will also take care of that tumor which nearly caused your destruction." Si Chen said as he gave a confident smile.
"How should I believe that you have the capabilities to do that?" Fang Bin raised one of his eyebrows as he asked.
While inwardly, he was deeply suppressing his astonishment towards Si Chen. He had thought that this was merely some useless young master who only had money in his brain, but who knew he could think that they were actually framed for the food poisoning incident?
Not many people even thought of that in the first place, and Fang Bin couldn't help but be startled.
"May I ask, what are you currently lacking right now? Funds? I have them. Food recipes? I also have them too. With both of them, you can definitely be able to oppress the people who was behind the incident, and also rise above them easily. I can give you my assurance in this." Si Chen said in a languid manner as he waved his arms casually.
"How much are you planning to have then?" Fang Bin frowned his eyebrows and asked.
"51% for $12000." Si Chen directly replied, not bothering to do with any negotiations.
"Ridiculous!" Fang Bin shouted and slammed his hand on the table in anger.
This was simply cheating him of his money!
A restaurant like the Seafood Restaurant, it was different from a mere drink store.
Their productions, profits, and costs were much higher, and their value was also much greater.
Even if Seafood Restaurant was in dire straits, this price for their shares was still quite ludicrous.
The average price was probably around $20000 for half of the entire shares, and Si Chen's offer was far too low for Fang Bin not to feel incensed, and he felt as though he was being played with.
"Boss Fang Bin, the most important thing right now, is not the cash, but my value towards the restaurant. So what if you have money, when the food you sell still does not taste nice enough for customers to visit? With $12000, this more than sufficient to tide you over your financial crisis, while with my recipes, you would be able to rise back up into the bustling restaurant you once were." Si Chen did not panic, as he slowly and assuredly responded.
Then, Si Chen wrote down his number on a piece of paper, as he gave it towards Fang Bin, and lightly smiled, "If you feel like you believe in me, you can call this number, and we can further discuss about this matter."
Then Si Chen left the restaurant in a relaxed manner, leaving the angered Fang Bin who was taking a few deep breaths, to cool his temper down.
Si Chen observed Fang Bin's emotions just now, and could sense that his intense emotions were not suitable for him to continue talking about this matter, which is why he decided to leave his contact, and let him recollect his emotions before he made his decision.
Fang Bin managed to revert calmness after a while, and he was about to turn around and leave, when he glanced back at the piece of paper on the table.
He looked around the four corners for a moment, before he grabbed the paper and quickly stuffed in within his pocket, and left.
Si Chen's attitude was far too relax and calm throughout, that he could not help but sense a glimmer of hope within him.
He just had to take things as it goes, and make the right decision after he thought about this matter at home.
Keeping his options open was not a bad idea, after all.
On the other hand, as Si Chen returned to the Tong Lin Estate, he found Xiao Meng and Yang Ran was watching cartoon clips together on the television.
He warmly smiled as he chatted with Xiao Meng, before he left towards his room.
