"Mr. Shen is really impressive!" the lawyer exclaimed excitedly, "You've hit the nail right on the head, exposing his pain points and breaking through his bottom line."

Bianyi was proud and raised his eyebrows at Shen Qiang, his smile beaming as he said, "Now you have to admit I'm a master, right?"

"Just a petty thief," Shen Qiang said calmly, "and you've reached the pinnacle of being despicable and shameless."

Bianyi, unhappy, reminded him, "Hey, you need to remember that it's you who wanted this company. I helped you get it. It cost me money and time, and I worked hard. You not only haven't said a word of thanks, you're also calling me despicable?"

"It's not for free. I still have to pay, so why should I thank you?" Shen Qiang replied, nonchalantly lifting an eyebrow.

Bianyi laughed, "Indeed, you're even more shameless than I am. Let's just lay all the cards on the table then. The idiots at Long Yan didn't want those production lines and equipment because they weren't into oral liquids and didn't do pharmaceutical research, so they originally didn't even consider them."

"But in reality, thirty-five percent of this company's valuation comes from that equipment."

"So the fools at Long Yan felt that not needing the equipment and getting the company for thirty percent off was a reasonable price."

"But you're different. I know about the crappy drugs you're working on; those machines are exactly what you've been dreaming of."

"If they weren't here, you'd be willing to shell out the cash to buy them."

"Once the people at Long Yan realized this, they would've bought the equipment too, and then resold it, not losing much money. So, they were willing to offer not just the asking price of the company but even ten to twenty percent above it."

"But you're a stubborn ass. No matter how much they offered, you'd outbid them. That means if I hadn't pulled strings behind the scenes, you'd have had to spend at least 1.3 times the company's asking price to buy it."

Raising his eyebrows at Shen Qiang, Bianyi said, "The company's asking price was 330 million, thirty percent of which is one hundred million, but you completed the acquisition at eighty percent of the price. That means, with my help, just for this purchase alone, I've saved you a whopping one hundred and sixty to one hundred and seventy million. Don't you think you ought to thank me properly?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Let's talk about your guilt in tarnishing the new company's image instead."

"Shameless!" Bianyi was furious, losing control as he addressed Xiu Ju nearby: "See that? That's your man! That's his true colors!"

Xiu Ju bent her eyes in laughter without saying a word.

The lawyer snickered.

Bianyi, his chest heaving and face flushed with anger, turned to Shen Qiang's smiling face and said, "Fine, you don't have to thank me. You say I tarnished the new company's image. I accept that, especially since you're not planning on rewarding me. Let's call it even then, but you have to give me money, a lot of it."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "If it's for a reasonable cause, no problem."

"Five hundred million!" Bianyi said very seriously. "Today."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Five million."

Upon hearing this, Bianyi was anxious, "What did you say? I settled this for you, spending over three million, and you're only giving me five million? What can I do with that? Rent, renovation, and office equipment for the new company will cost that much."

Watching the angry Bianyi, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand; this five million is a personal reward for you."

Bianyi was stunned. He glanced at Xiu Ju in surprise, "Did I hear that wrong?"

Xiu Ju laughed, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, I think you heard right."

Bianyi laughed, turned his head, and looked at Shen Qiang with bright eyes, "Five million, as a personal bonus for me?"

"Yes," Shen Qiang said.

Bianyi's eyes immediately shone like snow, "You admit that I'm a master now, right?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Little thief."

"Come on," Bianyi said, excited, "Don't say one thing and mean another. Say what's in your heart, I am a master."

Shen Qiang laughed, "You are indeed a little thief. If you really want to hear some compliments, then I can only say that in the process of acquiring this company, you have shown your normal level of capability."

Bianyi was displeased.

Propping up his legs, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "The exact name of the new company has not been decided yet, so we can't talk about the investment. Let's just decide the name of the new company today."

"Bian Qiang Holdings!" Bianyi's eyes immediately lit up, "I've thought of the name long ago. A company held by Bianyi and Shen Qiang—how simple, straightforward, and grand it sounds, and it even plays on words to suggest strength. How great is that!"

Shen Qiang laughed, "You really are scheming, trying to get one over me even with the company name? No, this name is terrible."

Bianyi frowned and hesitated, "Do you mean Yi Qiang Holdings? That's fine too."

Shen Qiang was amused, "Let's stick with Shen's Holdings. That way people will know it's my company."

Bianyi's face darkened, "Then I have something to do, and I must go now. We'll discuss the name of the new company another time."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Do you really want to have your name included in the company's name that much?"

"Yes," Bianyi said. "Even if I only own two percent, it's still mine. Moreover, I want everyone to know that I am in a partnership with you, that we are partners, not your servant."

Shen Qiang laughed, "You still refuse to accept reality."

Bianyi kept silent, stood up, and was about to leave.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Now that your surname is Shen and your name is Shen Bian, I think Shen's Holdings is very appropriate. If you really think the name doesn't respect you enough, then let's call it Bian Qiang Shen's Holdings Limited."

After being stunned for a long while, Bianyi laughed, "You agree? You agree to the new company being called Bian Qiang Shen's Holdings?"

"Yes," Shen Qiang said calmly.

Bianyi laughed, nodding smugly, "You recognize my worth after all. You admit that I am better than you, which is why the company is named this way. This means we're friends, right?"

Shen Qiang smiled without saying a word.

Looking at Shen Qiang, Bianyi, who gradually became more animated, straightened his ragged tie, and said proudly, "Since you've taken this stance, I won't push for having my name above yours in the company name. I am Shen Bian, CEO of Shen's Holdings. That's it, thank you boss. The new company will be registered soon, but according to the holding company's regulations, we need to control at least three to five companies to complete the registration, so I will need stakes in Dinghao, Datong River, Lanpu Network Security, Antique Company, and this company."

"No problem," Shen Qiang smiled. "After the company develops for a while, I will privatize the shares of Datong River, Dinghao, and here."

Bianyi laughed, saying earnestly, "Thank you, boss." Then he raised his eyebrows with a smile, "But now, I need to push that old Xiali back to the city. If I don't leave soon, I might not catch breakfast tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, flicked his hand, and tossed his sports car keys to Bianyi, saying, "Take it. Isn't this what you've been scheming for? It's yours."

Bianyi's eyes immediately lit up, "Thank you, boss!"
