The Hope You Gave Me: 69-profit-seeking
Min Hui was stunned: "Pick up?"
It was the first time she had heard the word.
“That is to say—BBG intends to acquire Guanchao International, and the stock currently in its hands has accounted for 5% of the total share capital of Guanchao. According to the rules, it has to raise a placard.” Cao Mu explained, “Guanchao International The stock price of Chao Chao is not high, and the A-share market has been sluggish this year. If Xin Qi is moved with such a cheap bargaining chip, of course it is a good opportunity.”
Min Hui couldn't figure it out: "How can he buy such a large-scale Guanchao? How much does it cost?"
"There should be strong financial support behind it, otherwise, this big fish will be difficult to eat." Cao Mu said, "Cheng Qirang is not stupid. If something goes wrong, there must be a lot of helpers. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can’t fight a local snake—Xin Qi’s move is quite risky, and he may be bitten back if he can’t eat it.”
Having said this, Min Hui became nervous. At first, she fought with Guanchao, thinking that she could win if she was justified, but it turned out to be a chicken-and-egg fight, and she almost lost her life. Xin Qi is a foreigner. BBG moved to Bencheng just a few months ago and wanted to pry off the largest technology company in Bencheng. Can it be done? For a while, I couldn't help but be full of doubts: "If BBG's acquisition of Guanchao is successful, what will be the benefits?"
"There are naturally many benefits." Cao Mu shrugged, "The profitability of Guanchao has always been good. From an investment point of view, it is called low risk and stable returns. Even if you take dividends, it is very cost-effective. If you manage it well Well, if the stock price rises, BBG can sell the stocks in its hands to cash out and make a lot of money in the short term. Even if it doesn't do this, it will stay in Guanchao after holding the control, and it can also control the technical resources and decision-making resources in the hands of Guanchao, and He integrates his own resources to realize the integration of industry and finance..."
She analyzed a bunch of them crackling, but Min Hui could not understand, so she could only ask: "How much does it cost for BBG to control the tide?"
"The money is going to be too much," Cao Mu took a gulp of the noodle soup, "If you achieve a controlling stake, it will cost tens of billions..."
When Min Hui heard this, her jaw dropped in surprise: "Tens of billions? Can BBG spend so much money?"
In her impression, BBG's Asia-Pacific branch is not very big. The office area in Beijing is only one floor, with a total of 100 or 200 employees. It can't keep up with a fraction of Guanchao.
"I'm afraid I can't rely on the BBG family. But there is a Yuanmao Group behind him. The boss is Su Zhonghe, and he is a major shareholder of BBG. That company is an insurance company and has very strong funds."
Min Hui finally understands why Xin Qi came to her last night and asked her to resign. At this moment, Cheng Qirang, who knew the news, must have thought that she colluded with Xin Qi to retaliate for the sexual harassment incident, and would not let her have a good life, right?
"Then what should we do?" Min Hui asked in a low voice, "Do you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
"So what else? We're just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals..."
"How much is the core competitiveness?"
"In Bai'an, here...hey, there are too many cores, let's not count it!" Cao Mu waved his hand, "The rise of Guanchao is a matter of the last ten years, and it has nothing to do with Cheng Qirang's management ability. In a sense, he is also one of the founders. With his temper, how can he be subordinated to others? It must be a desperate counterattack. Xin Qi wants to control the tide and drive him away... It's too easy."
"Did he act a little emotionally impulsive?" The more Min Hui thought about it, the more frightened she became. In the cemetery, Xin Qi said that she would find Cheng Qirang to settle accounts, but she didn't expect it to be such an algorithm. In her opinion, killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred...
"Businessmen seek profits, while capital seeks returns. Xin Qi is in the business of investing, and he just wants to make money because of opportunities. There is no emotion or emotion. Even if there is, the money is not his own money. Most of it is other people's money, and using other people's money to move his feelings - if he is really such a person, he shouldn't be in this industry, and in the end, he won't be able to end it." Cao Mu said while looking at his phone, after a while, Suddenly there was an "ah" sound, "Look, there is an investigation report on sexual harassment from Guanchao International, which is forwarded within half an hour of 100,000 plus - Xin Qi is really powerful, and he won't fight an unprepared battle. Check your WeChat, I forwarded it to you."
Min Hui turned on her phone and saw that under Qian Zhi's famous official account, an article jointly signed by Yang Lu and Chen Jiajun was published: "Silence Means Condition - Investigation on Sexual Harassment in the Bincheng Workplace", the full text is 5,000 words, Half of the space is devoted to Guanchao International. With the encouragement of reporters, the five victims reported Cheng Qirang's sexual harassment against them by taking advantage of work and power. After reading it carefully, I couldn't help but say, "My brother wrote the report, so it should have nothing to do with Xin Qi."
"But it's just the right time for the announcement. You can see that the stock price of Guanchao is falling. BBG will be able to frantically buy, buy and buy in a few days." Cao Mu looks like a melon eater.
"Do you think BBG's acquisition will be successful?" Min Hui's heart was up and down, "I remember that Xin Qi had been discussing cooperation with Cheng Qirang some time ago, and it is not ruled out that Cheng Qirang welcomes this matter. ?"
"Take it down. Cheng Qirang won't let BBG come over and get a piece of the pie." Cao Mu finished the last noodle and put a few slices of coriander in his mouth to chew, "Hurry up and persuade Xin Qi to let He must be careful. Don't underestimate Cheng Qirang, how many people have fallen into trouble with him. If you don't say anything, just say Bai'an, didn't he also win?"
Min Hui doesn't know much about finance and economics, and has little interest, but Cao Mu is an MBA from Huaqing. He used to be in charge of financing and marketing at Yuanlai and Bai'an, and his advice should be very professional. After returning to the office after lunch, she hurriedly called Jiajun.
Jiajun didn't know anything about the acquisition: "Brother Xin Qi never mentioned to me to acquire Guanchao. But this investigation was suggested to me by him. At the beginning, I was a little unsure. One is that I have no experience in this area, and the other is that I am afraid of scare the snake, but Yang Lu is an old reporter who has helped me a lot, and you have provided me with the list of victims, so the interview went well. As for when the report will be available Fa, Brother Xin Qi should not know, the time is decided by the boss, you know, we have to go through the procedure for reviewing the manuscript here, and for such a sensitive topic, there are more procedures..."
So Xin Qi did come prepared, Min Hui thought. For a while, I was sweating like ants on a hot pot. I wanted to ask Xin Qi immediately, but I was afraid that he would be too busy to take care of myself, so I retracted the office and wrote the program until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It was almost time to get off work. He hung up the phone with Xin Qi, but didn't dare to say it directly. After a long exchange of greetings, he said, "I heard that BBG plans to acquire Guanchao. Did you raise your placard today?"
"Yes."
"Xin Qi, if you're doing this to vent my anger - don't!"
"I'm not as noble as you think, I do it to make money." He said lightly, "If I can make money and pull Cheng Qirang off the horse by the way, then I'd be happy to see it. "
"Xin Qi, I know you are very reliable, but when dealing with Cheng Qirang, you have to be very careful—"
"Well, I'm mentally prepared."
"Cheng Qi made this person—" Min Hui wanted to warn her, but Xin Qi suddenly interrupted her: "By the way, didn't you let me care about your life last night?"
Min Hui was still thinking about the acquisition. Seeing that he changed the subject, she couldn't react for a while, so she couldn't help but say "oh".
"I would like to introduce you to someone who is very suitable."
"A time like this?"
"Don't you want to finalize it by the end of the year and get the certificate during the Spring Festival? It's already November, so you have to hurry up." He said.
"Okay, let's talk about it."
"His name is Qin Rui, and he is a paraglider instructor."
"Paraglider?" Min Hui was a little confused.
"Are you afraid of heights?"
"Don't be afraid." Min Hui said, "I like bungee jumping a lot, but I have never tried paragliding, but these two should be similar in terms of psychological challenge, right?"
"That's good. There is a Tianying Mountain paragliding base in the north of the city, where Qin Rui works as a coach. I'll make an appointment for you to meet at the base's coffee shop at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Is this... too urgent?" Min Hui had no thoughts at all, "I've been busy with work recently."
"Tomorrow happens to be Saturday. He said we can talk first, and then take you to go paragliding." Xin Qi enthusiastically encouraged, "I did the math, you didn't lose any money, you don't need to fly for 900 yuan per flight. The money is really earned."
"Then we have to look at each other, right? Otherwise, it's just taking advantage of..."
"It doesn't matter, even if you don't like it, you can play it. Be careful not to get addicted."
"Then, about the basic situation of this Qin Rui, can you at least tell me about it? I want to be mentally prepared."
"What are you introducing, don't you believe my vision?"
“But—”
"I didn't want you to marry him, it was just a blind date. If it doesn't work, change another one. What are you afraid of?"
"...Okay. Xin Qi——" Min Hui wanted to return to the topic, "The acquisition is so risky, I want to talk to you carefully——"
"Have you ever worked in finance?"
"...never."
"Then what did you use to convince me?"
“…”
"There will be a meeting soon, let's talk about it first, don't forget to have a blind date tomorrow, dress up and try to get a date."
Min Hui wants to say a few more words, over there, the phone hangs up. She stayed there for a long time, and couldn't help muttering in her heart. When she saw Xin Qi didn't want to let her wear that magnolia dress last night, she thought she was jealous, but it seemed she thought too much.
The six o'clock Starbucks is very crowded.
Min Hui ordered a cup of hot chocolate and waited for a long time for a table. She had just had two sips when she heard someone calling her from behind: "Min Hui, are you here too?"
I turned around and saw that it was Cheng Qirang.
He took off his windbreaker, put it on the back of the chair, and sat on the opposite chair.
Since the last time they beat him up in Beijing, they've only seen each other in meetings, not in private.
She glanced at him and found that the wound on his face had completely healed, and even the missing tooth had been fitted. For some reason, it seems that he has aged a lot recently, and a row of thin crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.
The phone was in the tote bag, she subconsciously took it out, but he stopped him: "Don't record, please give me some privacy."
She knew he was coming for her, but she didn't expect it so soon.
She put her hand down and said coldly, "Is something wrong? Mr. Cheng."
"I read the HLD you wrote, it's pretty good, I changed it for you in some places, just sent it to your email-"
"Thanks, I'll watch it tonight," she said matter-of-factly.
Then he chatted about the details of the project structure, and the two discussed it calmly. Min Hui thought he would mention BBG or Jiajun's report - both of which are related to her - but Cheng Qirang aside from work Nothing was said, as if nothing had happened.
The more this is the case, the more terrified she is.
At the end, he said lightly: "Have you ever raised a dog?"
"No."
"Listen to my advice, don't raise it."
Min Hui glanced at him silently, wondering why he mentioned raising a dog.
"My wife has a husky, you should have seen it, and it was a little puppy when I bought it. I still remember the first day it arrived at home, put it in a cage, and bark non-stop in the middle of the night. I like it again. Biting things, urinating everywhere, and making the house extremely dirty." Speaking of which, he took a slow sip of coffee, "In less than two months, it has grown from a dozen pounds of puppy to five pounds. More than ten kilograms, the hair began to shed, and the clumps were all over the place. The aunt at home uses the vacuum cleaner three times a day, but it cannot be guaranteed to be completely clean.”
“…”
"Although I hate dogs, my wife loves them very much. The dog has to go to bed with her every day, otherwise she won't sleep. My wife has no objection, but let me learn to get used to it. In the end, I couldn't take it anymore. , had to move to the guest room—and never moved back.”
"Obviously, between you and Huskies, your wife thinks Huskies are cuter." Min Hui said sarcastically.
"That's right," he admitted. "The husky also knows I don't like it, because I've never been good to it, and it's all about pleasing my wife. He's very loyal and obedient to her. My wife quarreled, and he rushed over and bit me. It wasn't serious, but there was a lot of blood, and my wife didn't even look at me, and said that the dog was right, it just wanted to protect its owner."
Min Hui looked at her watch.
"Give me two more minutes, the story isn't over yet."
“…”
"Finally one day, my wife was not at home and it was my turn to walk the dog. I took him to a park where he met a black pit bull and the two dogs suddenly hit Get up-"
“…”
"The husky died terribly. It was bitten to death, and the ground was covered in blood. It struggled for a long time before dying. After my wife found out, she cried for a week and swore that she would never keep a dog again in her life. "
The setting sun shines on his face through the window, and his eyes have a cruel gray, and he looks at her with a half-smile.
Min Hui's heart shrank suddenly and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"It's no fun, I just want to talk to you about a dog that doesn't obey me. What would it be like."
Min Hui looked at him without blinking and said, "Cheng Qirang, wait a moment."
She took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag, wrote two lines on it, and threw it in front of him: "This is my resignation letter, this girl is quitting."
He sneered, stood up, put on a trench coat and said, "Please give Xin Qi a message: Since you have ambitions, let the horses come over, GAMEON."
