On the other end of the phone, Zhang Jianguo hung up.

Zhang Jianmin couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what did Captain Li say?"

"Captain Li said he's out of town and won't be back for a few days. We'll talk when he returns."

Zhang Jianmin thought for a moment, his expression changing slightly, "He was in Los Angeles just a couple of days ago, how did he suddenly go out of town? Could it be an excuse?"

Zhang Jianguo was a bit uncertain and complained, "Yesterday, I said we should call Captain Li, but you dragged your feet, hesitating about this and that. Now see, he's not happy anymore.

We have to wait at least a week to get a straight answer.

We've already thoroughly offended Jinlang Building Materials Company. If anything happens this week, we won't even have a place to argue our case."

Zhang Jianmin also felt wronged, "You can't blame me for this. 20% of the company's shares is not a small amount, this isn't just about the two of us, we also need to give our family an explanation.

Besides, in the past when we faced indecision, you didn't spare me, you just made the decision directly.

Why didn't you make a decision yesterday? Weren't you reluctant too?"

"Alright, stop talking about it, let's think about how to solve it, and also, don't tell your wife everything.

What does a woman know? She's shallow."

"I don't want to say either, it's just to prevent a fight between us later."

"Okay, don't mention this to your wife anymore, tell her after we've settled it."

"Brother, what do you think Captain Li really means now?"

"Either he's really gone out of town for something,

or he thinks we're not showing a good attitude and is deliberately leaving us hanging.

The worst possibility is that he doesn't want to cooperate with us anymore."

Zhang Jianmin scratched his head, "That shouldn't be the case, Jinlang Building Materials Company is a problem for us, but it's not a big deal for him. Our cooperation with him is basically a free gift."

Zhang Jianguo glared at him, "I'm telling you, don't say that again in the future. You're not an idiot, why would you willingly give someone free money? It's because we need them,

Jinlang Building Materials Company might not be a big deal for him, but it's a huge problem for us.

Bill Gates may have tens of billions, but that's his money, he won't give you a penny.

Better get rid of this notion, or else I'd rather not cooperate with Captain Li, just to prevent you from causing more trouble in the future."

"Brother, don't be angry, I'm just talking to you, I'm not stupid, I wouldn't say it to outsiders.

I just feel that Captain Li has no reason not to cooperate with us, it's beneficial for both sides."

"In general, that's true, but I'm just afraid..." Zhang Jianguo's expression became unnatural as he spoke.

Zhang Jianmin pressed further, "Afraid of what?"

"Afraid that Jinlang Building Materials Company is also looking to cooperate with him. If Jinlang Building Materials Company offers him better terms, will he abandon our cooperation?"

Zhang Jianmin's mouth dropped open, looking incredulous, "That shouldn't be possible, Captain Li is a cop, Jinlang Building Materials Company is backed by a gang, how could they cooperate?"

Zhang Jianguo said worriedly, "I don't know if they will cooperate, but I know if they do, our company is doomed."

Zhang Jianmin's face turned pale too, "Should I visit the precinct to see Captain Li, maybe he's just leaving us hanging, I'll apologize and lower our stance, what do you think?"

Zhang Jianguo considered it carefully, then shook his head, "No, since Captain Li said he's not in Los Angeles, even if he is, we have to pretend he's not.

We can't seek him out on our own initiative, we can only wait.

Otherwise, if the truth comes out, there'll be no turning back."

"Then are we just going to do nothing and wait around? Won't that drive people crazy?"

"Let me think about it some more." Zhang Jianguo's mind was also in turmoil. The day before yesterday he met with Luke, and Luke proposed taking 20% of the shares. Rationally, Zhang Jianguo knew it was a great opportunity, beneficial to them.

But actually giving up 20% of the shares left him somewhat reluctant, which was why he didn't immediately contact Luke yesterday.

Who would have thought that after just one day, there'd be changes on Luke's side. Even if he wanted to give away the 20% shares now, he might not be able to.

He began to feel hesitant and regretful for not making a decision yesterday. If Luke came to him now, he'd hand over the 20% shares without hesitation, willingly.

Right, Luke wants to invest to become a shareholder, he definitely wouldn't ask for shares directly, but would pay to buy them.

The purchase amount is also an attitude, right?

This is also a chance to show goodwill.

Zhang Jianguo looked over at his brother, "Jianmin, I'm planning to sell 20% of the company shares to Captain Li for twenty thousand US Dollars, what do you think?"

Zhang Jianmin's eyes widened, feeling a bit pained, "Selling 20% of the company shares for only twenty thousand US Dollars!

It's no different from giving it away for free!"

Zhang Jianguo waved his hand, undisputable, "It's settled."

Zhang Jianmin "..."

Why didn't you do this earlier?

Now you're changing the tune.

If you had been this firm yesterday, the contract would have been signed.

You wouldn't have to sell the shares dirt cheap.

And you have the nerve to blame me.

Zhang Jianguo ignored his brother's muttering and composed a message to send to Luke.
