"My second decision is to inject 50 million yuan into Jinwei Security. This fund will be specifically used for upgrading security equipment, updating training facilities, recruiting professional talent, improving the welfare and benefits of security personnel, expanding the security consultant team, and so on."
"This fund will be managed by Xiao Zong and used exclusively for its designated purpose. Every single penny must be used effectively. In six months, I want to see a stronger, more professional, and more loyal Jinwei Security."
"If the results are significant, I may continue to inject capital into Jinwei Security in the future, aiming to build Jinwei Security into the largest top-tier security group in the country, or even in Asia and globally."
If Tang Yuan's first decision had delighted Zhao Haiwei and others, his second decision was nothing short of a thunderclap for them.
It was important to note that before its acquisition, Jinwei Security's entire company valuation was only 80 million yuan, yet Tang Yuan, with just a few words, grandly allocated 50 million yuan.
That was more than half of Jinwei Security's original valuation!
A full 50 million yuan!
When this massive sum of money was invested into Jinwei Security, Zhao Haiwei and others found it hard to imagine what Jinwei Security would develop into in the future.
High-precision security equipment they previously couldn't afford to buy?
Buy it!
Security vehicles they previously couldn't afford to replace?
Replace them!
With this special fund, the somewhat stagnant Jinwei Security could instantly burst forth with endless vitality and was bound to undergo earth-shattering changes.
At the same time, Jinwei Security's equity would also become more valuable.
Thinking of the various benefits this special fund would bring to Jinwei Security and themselves, Zhao Haiwei and others could no longer remain seated.
Zhao Haiwei was the first to stand up from his chair, followed by Wu Hongfei and the other four.
Zhao Haiwei immediately picked up the decanter and filled his wine glass, and Wu Hongfei and the others followed suit. By the time the last person had filled his red wine glass, the decanter, which had just received two bottles, was already empty.
"Director Tang, with your vision and courage, I, Old Zhao, will dedicate my life to you from now on, sparing no effort until death!" Zhao Haiwei's hands trembled slightly with excitement: "No more words, I'll drink this first!"
"Director Tang, I toast to you!"
"Director Tang, I'll drink this too!"
"Director Tang, cheers!"
...
Subsequently, Wu Hongfei and the others followed Zhao Haiwei's lead and drained their glasses.
In an instant, the entire private room fell silent, with only the sounds of Zhao Haiwei and the others swallowing their wine.
Tang Yuan merely watched with a smile, accepting it calmly without stopping them.
About ten seconds later, with the entire glass of red wine consumed, even with Zhao Haiwei and the others' alcohol tolerance, they showed slight signs of intoxication, but judging by their eyes, they were still relatively clear-headed, indicating their alcohol limit was far from reached.
"Manager Zhao, I can understand your excitement, but you've cornered all the wine. What will we drink later?" Tang Yuan pointed with a chuckle at the empty decanter: "The restaurant hasn't even finished serving the dishes yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Haiwei quickly walked to the private room door: "Waiter, three more bottles of 2010 vintage red wine from Amouraxia Estate's Premier Cru!"
After speaking, he quickly returned.
"Director Tang, you must eat and drink well tonight!"
"If there's anything we haven't attended to properly, please do point it out!"
Zhao Haiwei returned to the dining table, his attitude significantly more respectful and reverent than at first, even subtly tinged with awe in his eyes.
After all, Zhao Haiwei had joined Jinwei Security since its inception, rising from the very bottom step by step to today. He had dedicated twenty full years of his life to Jinwei Security; it was like his own child. He wished for Jinwei Security to develop better than anyone else.
In the past, shareholders only saw Jinwei Security as an ATM. Besides the funds needed for normal operations, they would never invest more capital into Jinwei Security for its development. After repeatedly encountering obstacles, Zhao Haiwei, who once had grand ambitions, had long become disheartened.
Now, in Tang Yuan, he saw hope—a hope that could truly make Jinwei Security bigger and stronger!
Just as Zhao Haiwei and others were expressing themselves, the waiter re-entered the room, each carrying a bottle of red wine, then approached Tang Yuan with a questioning look in their eyes.
Tang Yuan casually waved his hand: "Open all of them!"
The waiters acknowledged, then walked aside, picked up the electric corkscrews, opened all three bottles of red wine, and poured them one by one into the decanters.
Wen Muxue, sitting next to Tang Yuan, had not yet recovered from Tang Yuan's promise of a 50 million yuan investment when she saw three bottles of red wine, with a total value of 150,000 yuan, casually opened like that.
The wine alone cost nearly 350,000 yuan!
For Wen Muxue's parents, it might take several years of hard work and frugality to save such a sum, yet it was being consumed as if it were water. In fact, Zhao Haiwei and the others' recent toast alone represented nearly half a year's salary for her parents.
Wen Muxue gazed blankly at the ruby-colored wine before her, while on Zhao Haiwei and the others' side, as soon as the red wine was opened, they immediately raised their glasses, intending to toast Tang Yuan again.
"Have you forgotten Xiao Zong?" Tang Yuan said in a playful tone: "You know Xiao Zong is responsible for approving this special fund. If you disregard her so much, be careful she doesn't make things difficult for you later."
"Oh, my!"
"Right, right, this toast should be for Xiao Zong!"
"Look at us, getting carried away with the drinking!"
Zhao Haiwei paused, then slapped his forehead, repeatedly saying: "Xiao Zong, I toast to you. Thank you for choosing Jinwei Security from the vast crowd. I hope you will continue to support us, and together, we will make Jinwei Security bigger and stronger!"
Saying this, Zhao Haiwei, to make amends, once again picked up the decanter, filled his red wine glass, gestured to Xiao Yayue, and then drained it.
Xiao Yayue raised her glass, reciprocated Zhao Haiwei's distant gesture, and also drained the remaining red wine in her glass. Then she smiled and said: "The person who chose you was Tang Zong. I merely offered a negligible suggestion."
After speaking, Xiao Yayue turned to look at Tang Yuan.
Their eyes met, and they both smiled slightly, everything unspoken.
Tang Yuan's initiative to redirect Zhao Haiwei's toast to Xiao Yayue was essentially to elevate Xiao Yayue's status, both to highlight her position within Jinwei Security and to give her due respect.
The highly intelligent Xiao Yayue naturally understood the significance of Tang Yuan's action, but she saw through it without speaking of it. In the subsequent toasts, facing Zhao Haiwei's imprecise flattery, she reciprocated by also praising Tang Yuan.
Mutual respect, mutual achievement.
Tang Yuan's first performance at the banquet truly amazed Xiao Yayue.
Just after Zhao Haiwei finished his toast, Wu Hongfeiand the others also successively approached Xiao Yayue to toast her, and for a moment, the atmosphere of the entire banquet was pushed to a new climax...
