Hearing that Boss Li actually wanted to invest in his own small workshop, Ethan's young face was full of surprise. It took two minutes before he swallowed his saliva and asked, "You... you're not kidding me, are you?"
Think about it—his IronForge Props Company was just a small processing factory, with equipment worth less than a million yuan, and only a dozen buddies working with him in the factory. It was completely a grassroots team.
He really didn't expect that his small factory would be favored by a big boss willing to invest real money to buy shares.
Jason Liu didn't know what the other party was thinking and said seriously, "Yes, I plan to invest in your company. Then I hope you can bring your people and all the company's machinery and equipment directly to Zheng City. That way, the items produced under the orders I place in the future can be conveniently transported to the Fusion Trading warehouse nearby."
"Cough, yes, I've already prepared a remodeled warehouse for you as a workshop. This warehouse was originally one of the Fusion Trading Company's facilities, with an area of 1,000 square meters—almost enough for your use.
"You don't have to worry about rent. The first three months are free, and afterward, it'll be charged according to the lowest warehouse rent in the city. You can rest assured!"
Jason Liu paused and suggested again, "You can also come to City to take a look first. Let's meet and discuss things in detail. Just come directly to Fusion Trading when the time comes."
Zheng did not expect that the other party would actually propose moving IronForge Props Company to City. This made him hesitate a little, and he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liu, if we move IronForge Props to City, we'll be far from our town.
"In the future, we may not receive orders for film and television props. That could greatly affect the company's development."
"Mr. Luo, to tell you the truth, I don't really care about orders for film and television props at all. Just the orders from Fusion Trading are enough to keep you fully occupied!"
Saying that, Jason Liu felt he had to reveal some solid details to help the other party make up his mind. "Ethan, let me tell you some news in advance. The company is planning to order another 500 steel swords and a batch of hundreds of composite pulley bows soon.
"There will be more orders for bows and arrows in the future. Even retro flintlock guns from over a hundred years ago, steel cannons, and more—we'll need a lot.
"In short, you don't have to worry about a lack of orders for IronForge Props!"
After listening to Jason Liu's words, Ethan was immediately tempted.
Even setting aside the so-called retro flintlock guns and steel cannons—whether true or not—just the 500 steel swords and hundreds of composite pulley bows alone were worth millions. That was incredibly tempting!
If he could really secure this order, there would be no problem moving the company to City.
After all, it was hard for a small company like theirs to receive prop orders from production crews. So they might as well go to City and try their luck.
"Mr. Liu, are the 500 steel swords and composite pulley bows you mentioned real?" Ethan swallowed hard and confirmed again.
"Ethan, we've known each other for more than half a year and have been working together smoothly the whole time. Don't you believe me?" Jason Liu asked.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. Of course I believe you!" Ethan quickly apologized, then gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Alright, I promise, Mr. Liu. I'll fly to City with my team today. Let's meet and talk."
"Good. I'll be waiting for you at the company. Trust me, Ethan, I sincerely want us to develop together!" Jason Liu said with a smile.
Ethan hung up the phone, then called a few of his team members over and told them about the conversation he'd just had with the owner of Fusion Trading.
"This is a good thing. I'm in favor!"
"That's right."
"Well done! Better than staying here and waiting for the company to go bankrupt—"
"I agree!"
Several teammates expressed their support.
So, Ethan took two of them and booked a flight to City, intending to meet with Mr. Liu in person for a detailed discussion.
Two hours later, the plane landed at Airport.
Ethan and the two others from IronForge Props took a taxi to High-Tech Zone and walked into Fusion Trading Company.
At the front desk, the receptionist asked their names and then led them into the general manager's office.
"Mr. Liu, your guests have arrived!" the receptionist said, walking into the office and smiling at Jason Liu, who was sitting behind the desk reviewing documents.
Jason Liu looked up, then stood and said, "Great, let the guests in!"
The receptionist went out and brought the three men in.
"Ethan, hello. Welcome to Fusion Trading!" Jason Liu reached out and shook hands with Ethan and the others.
"Mr. Liu, hello, hello. It's our first time meeting. Please take care of us." Ethan looked at Jason Liu, who was only a few years older than himself, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how successful CEO Liu had become. The company occupied the entire floor.
Yes, as Fusion Trading's log business expanded, nearly 450,000 logs had been sold just last month—bringing in more than 360 million in revenue.
As the business grew busier, Jason Liu had rented an entire floor without hesitation, recruited dozens of employees, tripled the size of every department, and completely upgraded the company's structure.
Now, the company had more than 50 employees.
Anyone walking into Fusion Trading Company now could see that it was a large-scale operation.
No wonder Ethan had felt a bit uneasy when the three of them first entered.
Jason Liu invited the three to sit on the sofa opposite his desk, and an assistant from the personnel department, brought them tea.
Then Jason Liu took out several contracts and placed them in front of the visitors.
Ethan looked instinctively at Jason Liu.
"Ethan, please take a look at the contract. If there's anything that needs discussion, we'll go over it together!" Jason Liu said, sipping his tea and motioning for the others to review freely.
Ethan and the others picked up the contract and read it seriously.
The contract wasn't complicated. In general, Fusion Trading would invest one million yuan for a 30% share in IronForge Props. The company would relocate its factory to City.
Fusion Trading would rent its 1,000-square-meter warehouse to IronForge Props at a discounted rate, with the first three months rent-free.
Even the order for 500 steel prop swords was written into the contract. As soon as the agreement was signed, Fusion Trading would deposit the full amount of the order into IronForge Props' account.
