Chapter 186 – “I will buy as many as you have.” (2)
As Fang JunRong worked overtime regularly and had a full schedule, Zhang ZhiSu was hosting banquets every few days. Even the atmospheres between the two antagonized each other’s but they never openly antagonized each other.
After eating their melons for a period of them, people moved on.
As Fang JunRong sat around calmly minding her own business, Zhang ZhiYang, on the other hand, could not hold out for any longer.
Li XinYun quickly shared something with Fang JunRong with a blank look on her.
“Mom, didn’t I say I wanted to acquire Shingxing a while back?”
Fang JunRong recalled that but she never interfered with it. As for money, she wasn’t worried. Having Li WangJin’s inheritance, Li XinYun had at least hundreds of millions at her disposal. She was already pretty much on her own.
She had looked into Shengxing briefly. An acquisition for tens of millions shouldn’t be a problem at all.
“I’ve already had a verbal agreement with their boss. I was to pay 24 million yuan to acquire the company but that Boss Lu backed out of the deal when it came time to sign the contract.”
Truth be told, Li XinYun was quite angry about that. After she had reached the verbal agreement with Boss Lu, she had spent a few days on marketing planning but all of her effort nearly went to waste.
“And then what happened?”
Li XinYun went on, “I was about to give up but two days about Boss Lu came looking for me along with Zhang ZhiYang and said we can move forward again.
“According to Boss Lu, he was going to sell it to me but someone else pull some stunts behind the scene to stop us from moving forward with it. Now that Zhang ZhiYang took on the role as the middle man, we can move forward with it once again. He said he will even knock a million yuan off the cost as a gesture of apology.”
Li XinYun had heard of some bits and pieces about Zhang ZhiYang from her mother and had added him to her bad person list long time ago. She knew that Zhang ZhiYang’s eyes were on her mother; as such, she decided to let her mother know right away.
Fang JunRong said quietly, “He probably just wanted to give you a favor.
“It’s fine. Have a few lawyers look through the contract. If all is well, you can just sign it.”
“You don’t think this will be a trap of sort?” If it wasn’t the amount of time involved in starting her own company from the ground up, Li XinYun wouldn’t even consider an acquisition.
“You can always swap out all of the employees or just sideline his men.” She thought about it in her head. The company would be next to a subway station in a couple of years’ time and the properly value would go up. It wasn’t a bad deal at all.
“I’ll go with you when you sign the contract officially in a couple of days.” Fang JunRong made the final decision.
“Alright.”
Li XinYun let out a sigh of relief. She would feel much better having her mother with her.
***
Fang JunRong looked through the contract and they have no issues with it. Even the lawyers had only pointed a out a few irrelevant, minor points. Once those had been ironed out, they scheduled to sign the contract on January 10.
On their way over, Li XinYun told her mother her plans.
“Zhou Yi and I have talked about it. The easiest way to draw attention is a competition. We will organize a competition that is open to the public that will determine who our spokesperson will be. The winner of the competition will be offered a contract for 2 million yuan a year.”
It was a very attractive offer for the general public and would for sure draw in a lot of people. Once it drew in a lot of people, it would attract a lot of attention.
“We will refer the top 10 winners to some job opportunities as well.” As Fang JunRong’s daughter, Li XinYun had sufficient network in the circle. She also had no shortage of money. It would be quite simple for her to make a phone call and get them onto a show.
“Sister Zhou Yi seemed to be interested in starting her own company and sign those who have potential.”
Fang JunRong was slightly surprised. These two children were more mature than she had expected. Given that a company like Shengxing that wasn’t too well known, the best way to get its name out was to hire a well-known star for a decent amount of money and popularity would come with it.
Li XinYun and Zhou Yi, on the other hand, went the exact opposite direction. They wanted to gain fame for the company by holding a competition.
The idea was sound but they would for sure run into a lot of issues following through with it and would require them to overcome them one at a time.
She pondered for a little bit and said, “Okay. You can beef up your prizes. The first 10 winners can also get 20 boxes of Beautify Pills and 5 bottles of Hair Growing Cream.”
Li XinYun was immediately distracted. “Your Hair Growing Cream is about to hit the market already?”
“Probably after the new year,” said Fang JunRong.
