The Hope You Gave Me: 52-Who is he

After He Haixiang resigned from the management team, the vacancy was replaced by Ma Xin, the Personnel Director of Bai'an. When the news reached He Haixiang, he believed that Cao Mu had already found a spare tire, and he was determined to kick him out. He called Ma Xin to the office and scolded him, and began to work harder for the headquarters to make arrangements for the MBO. The five members of the company are regarded as traitors, and they are strictly attended to, not allowed to ask for leave, and their work is fully arranged.

AAR, the trading team selected by Cao Mu, has already started working at full capacity to prepare all the documents for the MBO bid. With the deadline approaching, everyone is still arguing over the first round of offers. Yan Chengli, Xu Guangjian, and Ma Xin all believe that 132 million is already high enough, and there is no need to increase it. Cao Mu and Min Hui were slightly worried, but also believed that the offer should pass the first round of screening safely.

"BBG is not willing to pay the 30 million yuan." Min Hui said at the meeting, "I called Xin Qi, but he refused."

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Cao Mu asked.

"Not at all."

"What about Fenglin Capital? How are you talking to Xie Ampei?" Yan Chengli asked.

“I talked to the three private equity executives, and they did not agree to increase the price. After discussing for a long time, they finally said that if they really want to increase 30 million, they will each pay 10 million, but our team’s shareholding The proportion should be reduced from 28% to 20%." Cao Mu said.

"What? Eight points down at once?" Xu Guangjian was stunned, "It's too embarrassing, I don't agree!"

"I also object." Ma Xin echoed.

"They are also thinking of their own interests, which is understandable." Yan Chengli sighed, "I don't agree, but I can understand. After all, if you invest more money, you have to take more risks. Mr. Cao, see if you can follow He talks about 26%?"

"I tried, but I don't want to."

"Then how much do you think Cheng Qirang will bid?" Min Hui asked, "If you are determined to win?"

"132 million is already very competitive, Cheng Qirang may not be so high. AAR suggested that we should not put such a high in the first round, after all, it is only intentional. After the second round, we will depend on the opponent's situation. Increase the price." Yan Chengli said, "AAR wants us to set the price as soon as possible, their documents are ready, and tomorrow is the deadline."

"It's not good to report too low. We are not a big company like Guanchao and Dongli. Private equity may withdraw at the last second. We will feel that we are unreliable, and we may be sold in the first round. I was eliminated." Ma Xin said.

"The headquarter looks at the price first. In order to win, I think it needs to add 30 million yuan, 20% is 20%, and everyone has 4%. We try to make the cake bigger, and 4% is a lot. shares." Cao Mu said.

"I agree with Sister Cao's opinion." Min Hui nodded, "Aren't we working so hard to get Bai'an? If the bid fails because of the lack of 30 million yuan, and the 30 million private equity funds will also fail. I'm willing to go out, I'll regret it then."

The five people argued for an hour, but no one changed their attitude. In the end, they voted three to two and decided to report 130 million first, and if not, add 132 million.

At 10 am the next day, AAR, on behalf of the management team, submitted a formal proposal and all documents to Yuanlai to participate in the bidding. In the afternoon, Cao Mu and Min Hui happened to have a regular meeting at the headquarters. After the meeting, when they left the building, Cao Mu quietly pointed to a short man walking towards the cafe and said, "That person is Cai Bingjie, who is invested by Yuanlai Group. The general manager of the M&A department. He is in charge of Bai'an's acquisitions, let's chat and test his tone?"

In the effort of half a cup of coffee, the three of them went from the chat to the main topic.

"We have received your proposal, all the documents have been read, the business plan is well written, and the quotation is very sincere. I am very happy that you have joined this bidding, the working group will definitely I will take it seriously." Cai Bingjie said in a business-like manner.

"Mr. Cai, how many companies are there in total?" Cao Mu asked. "You can give us some insight, and we have a good idea. In order to raise investment funds, everyone has emptied their families." /

"Hahaha, not really. You are the vice president of the company, and your income is not low. The companies involved in the acquisition are large and small. After reviewing all proposals, we will invite a limited number of buyers to enter the first The second-stage bidding. You can also start due diligence now. I will let your manager He try to cooperate with you as much as possible.”

"Do you think there is any hope that we will enter the second stage?" Min Hui asked.

"Yes." Cai Bingjie nodded affirmatively, "We are surprised that the management team proposed the acquisition. Your financing has gone so smoothly, which just proves that the market has full confidence in you. The headquarters is actually reluctant to do so. It is also a helpless move. Bai'an was established by you, and if it can be returned to your hands in the end, the headquarters will also feel relieved, which means that we have not let anyone down."

Cai Bingjie's rank is really not low. When Min Hui and Cao Mu heard this, their hearts became hot, and they laughed as if they had been beaten with blood.

"So, our bid is considered high?" Min Hui asked, "Is that so?"

"It's inconvenient to talk about this."

"Anyway, give me a hint, Mr. Cai." Cao Mu chased after him, "We can also prepare for the next stage. After all, we are a family."

"Your bid is not the highest, of course, this is just an intentional price." Cai Bingjie said lightly, "After the due diligence is completed, I hope you can increase the price, otherwise... it is difficult to say. ."

For fear of being asked more, Cai Bingjie found a reason to leave, leaving Cao Mu and Min Hui to look at each other.

"So--is 130 million really not enough?" Min Hui glared, "He said he would add a 'some' price, but he didn't say a 'some' price, which means that we are still far from the highest. ?"

——The senior executives who came from afar are more bureaucratic and like to play word games when they speak. Min Hui immediately pondered the literal meaning.

"You, don't listen to him fooling around," Cao Mu snorted disapprovingly, "This kind of person is best at poking fun. He may say this to everyone in the company, but it's just to incite everyone. Put the price up."

"What's next?"

"Maintain the original plan. Since he said that we have no problem entering the second stage, it means that our bid is relatively high. Generally speaking, the headquarters will pick out several of the most promising potential buyers to enter the second stage. There are usually three to five rounds of negotiation. We are all familiar with people in this industry, and whoever has the strength and who is interested, we can also guess nine times out of ten.”

Min Hui counted in her heart and said, "Guanchao, Dongli, Shenlan, us?"

"Well, it's almost like these four companies can offer relatively high prices. When the others hear that Guanchao and Dongli have joined, most of them will back down, and no one wants to run with them."

Min Hui thinks she still has to trust Cao Mu when it comes to acquisitions and prices. After all, she has been in sales for more than 20 years. When it comes to talking about business, your intuition must be stronger than your own.

She went to the front desk to buy two donuts. Just after taking a bite, Cao Mu's phone rang and the screen showed Yin Xu's profile picture. Strangely, Cao Mu glanced at the phone, but he didn't answer it, and hung up the phone.

Min Hui's heart sank for a while.

It has been a month since she found out that Yin Xu was cheating, and she thought that Yin Xu was not going to confess. As for herself, she has been hesitant to expose it to Cao Mu. Every time she wants to say it, she can't find an opportunity or make up her mind.

"Did Brother Yin Xu look for you just now?" she asked cautiously.

Cao Mu took a hard sip of iced coffee, nodded, and didn't answer for a long time.

"Sister Cao, there's something I've always wanted to tell you—"

"I already know." Cao Mu bit his lip hard and sighed heavily, "Yin Xu told me."

"When?"

"Last week."

I don't know why, obviously it wasn't her fault, but Min Hui felt deeply uneasy, she didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at her tremblingly: "Sister Cao, I'm the main blame for this, I didn't take good care of it. Guan, I introduced people like Ye Xiaozhen to you. Brother Yin Xu is actually quite regretful, he really likes you and cares about this family very much... You can discuss some things..."

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs." Cao Mu's voice was cold, "This is betrayal. For me, there is no room for negotiation."

“But—”

"We have been divorced, and we officially got the divorce certificate yesterday."

So fast! Can't tell from Cao Mu's words and behavior, Min Hui couldn't help being stunned: "What about the children?"

"He went out of the house, and the children and the house belonged to me."

"Can you take care of it?" Min Hui asked, "I've been busy with acquisitions these days, why don't you hire a nanny? I can help you find it." As soon as the words came out, she suddenly thought that Ye Xiaozhen had found it by herself. Tutor, what if the nanny you find is not reliable? He quickly said: "Forget it, you should find it yourself."

"The custody of the child belongs to me, but he will come over every day to cook for the child and take the child to cram school. He covers all of these." Cao Mu took a bite of the doughnut and smiled bitterly: " I always thought that I had a good eye for people, but I didn't expect to see it."

"This is only the first offender. Brother Yin Xu is a bit out of line, but it's not serious enough to divorce, right? After all, you have been together for more than ten years, so can't you give him a chance?"

"No, I have zero tolerance for this."

That being said, Min Hui realized that Cao Mu's face was a little sallow and his eyes were swollen. She always thought she was tired from the acquisition, but she didn't expect such a big event to happen at home.

"Let's go," Min Hui stood up and pulled her arm, "Find a place to drink, I'll treat you."

***

It just so happened that Yunlu said that he was going to take Su Quan to the cinema to watch cartoons, so Min Hui found a bar by the roadside and chatted with Cao Mu until after eight o'clock before returning to the apartment.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a man lying half seated at the foot of the door. He was as drunk as mud, and his shirt chest was full of vomit marks. Hearing footsteps, the man barely stood up against the wall.

"Brother Yin Xu?" Min Hui was taken aback, seeing Yin Xu's body swaying with the smell of alcohol, she quickly supported him. As soon as I approached, I was so drunk by the stench of vomiting that I couldn't breathe: "Why are you here?"

"Where's Cao Mu? Is she at your house? I...I want to talk to her." His tongue was shaking, his words were slurred, his eyelids were drooping, and he seemed half asleep.

Then he muttered a bunch of words to himself, but Min Hui didn't catch a word.

"Sister Cao Mu just ate the skewers with me, and she's gone home now." Min Hui took out the key and opened the door, "Come in first and have a cup of tea to soothe your hangover, and I'll call a car to take you home later. "

"Home? Where do I have a home? Cao Mu doesn't want me anymore, and I can't go back if I have a home..." The 1.89m tall man covered his face in front of Min Hui and cried. up. Halfway through crying, she suddenly gave a "wow", covered her face, and spat out a pile of food, which happened to land on Min Hui's head.

Min Hui wanted to cry but had no tears, so she had to help him into the room, take off her jacket first, then help him take off his shirt, wet the towel and wash his face. Seeing that he was too drunk to stand, he quickly helped him to Su Quan's room and let him lie down: "You rest for a while, and I'll make you a cup of strong tea."

She went to the kitchen to soak a pot of Dahongpao, brought it over and was about to hand it to him, but saw that his eyes were closed, and he had fallen into a deep sleep. After pushing for a long time, Min Hui had to call Cao Mu, but no one answered, so she left a WeChat message. I was thinking about what to do, but my hair was sour and smelly, and it was all Yin Xu's vomit. She wanted to take a shower immediately, but was afraid that Yin Xu would wake up and cause trouble, and she couldn't stand it, so she locked him in the room. I went to the bathroom first and threw the two people's dirty clothes into the washing machine, and then took a shower seriously. Just after turning off the water, the doorbell rang from outside the door. Min Hui thought, maybe Yun Lu brought Su Quan back after watching the movie, just in time, you can ask Yun Lu to send Yin Xu away, so she put on her bathrobe and opened the door.

Outside the door stood Xin Qi, with Su Quan in his arms.

Seeing her surprised face, Xin Qi explained: "There is something wrong with Yunlu, so I happened to be free, so I took Quanquan to watch a movie."

"Oh, please, please come in."

Min Hui looked a little embarrassed, and her hair was still dripping. Xin Qi walked into the room, looked at her and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

"I went to eat kebabs with Sister Cao Mu, drink...drink a few beers."

"One stick is 1.5 liters, how many sticks did you drink?"

"Two, two or three tie."

"You can really let yourself go, Min Hui." His voice suddenly turned sarcastic.

Min Hui was actually very drunk, her feet swayed when she took the elevator, and she almost went to the wrong floor. Because Yin Xu was even more drunk, she was sobered up from fear.

"Give the child to me, you can go." Min Hui stretched out her arms, intending to take the child, but Xin Qi gave up and went straight to the bedroom with Su Quan in her arms. Only then did Min Hui remember that there was still a person sleeping in the bedroom, and she couldn't help falling down and shouting, "Xin Qi, wait!" She turned around and rushed over to stop him, but Xin Qi had already opened the door.

A strong smell of alcohol came to my face, and at the same time came the light snoring of a man.

The big bed in the bedroom was covered with snow-white sheets, and Yin Xu was lying on all fours with his feet in the sky. His lower body is a pair of sports shorts, and the upper body is naked, revealing the strong chest muscles and slender thighs typical of tennis players.

Xin Qi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Min Hui, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is he?"

After drinking a few more glasses, Min Hui decided to make a joke, winked and said, "My man."
