Chapter 181: Heart

Xiao Jun has not yet applied for a visa, he temporarily stayed in Xinhai to accompany Xu Bin to handle company registration, distribution rights negotiation and other matters, while Xu Lizheng and Zhou Jianming flew directly to Draculamo to do the preparatory work in the early stage.

After they arrive at Draculamo, Cao Mo will directly allocate 30 million naira of start-up capital to them to use first.

Song Yuqing's mother had surgery in the hospital, and everything went well, but Song Yuqing couldn't get out for the time being, and she still needed to stay and take care of her mother for a while, so Cao Mo simply stayed in China during this time.

On a weekend at the end of April, Cao Mo met with Gu Jinxing, chairman of Xinxuan Food, and Guo Donghu, vice president, at Chen Feng's Baocheng accounting firm, to formally discuss the acquisition of Xinxuan Food.

Compared with the last time we met in Draculamo and hugged the Yoruba girl in his arms, Guo Donghu at this time was obviously much more depressed and haggard, and he was in his early forties, and he grew a lot of white hair on both sideburns.

Cao Mo saw that Guo Donghu's eyes were a little complicated, and thought to himself, this grandson suspected that the junk goods of Xinxuan Food were seized by the customs, and he reported it?

Cao Mo shook hands with Gu Jinxing, who met for the first time and was over half a hundred years old, and sat down quietly.

At this time, Chen Feng introduced some of Cao Mo's cocoa bean processing and export to domestic sales in Kanem, and Cao Mo took the opportunity to further observe the reactions of Gu Jinxing and Guo Donghu, and was sure that Guo Donghu did not report the situation of meeting him twice to Gu Jinxing.

Under Chen Feng's introduction of the basic situation, Cao Mo said directly to Gu Jinxing: "Mr. Gu may not know that Mr. Guo and I have met twice before. Once I accompanied Chen Feng to visit Xinxuan Food, at that time I wanted to directly transport cocoa beans from Kanem to China, find domestic processing enterprises to digest, and later adjusted the plan, I directly acquired a processing plant in Kanem, and changed to cocoa butter and cocoa powder trade in China, which is in direct competition with Xinxuan Food. Another time was in Draculamo, when Mr. Guo should have gone to Kanem to inspect the origin of raw materials, and there were other things on his body at that time, and he met in a hurry, but he didn't have the opportunity to ask Mr. Guo to sit down and talk. Mr. Gu may not know that Mr. Guo suspected in his heart at this time that I arranged for someone to report Xinxuan Food, and then took the opportunity to buy your factory at a lower priceβ€”β€”"

Speaking of this, Cao Mo looked at Guo Donghu and asked, "Mr. Guo, you should think so in your heart, right?"

"......" asked Cao Mo, Guo Donghu was suddenly a little caught off guard, and let the tea choke out and squirt out, and there were water stains on his hands and on the coffee table in front of him.

Gu Jinxing is a typical investor in the domestic cocoa powder industry, and Chen Feng also has a clear understanding of his details.

Gu Jinxing was a purchaser in a food factory in Xinhai in his early years, and found that some people in the cocoa powder industry bought eliminated husks and slag skins from cocoa bean processing factories in Southeast Asia and other places, and grinded powder to add flavors to make huge profits.

At that time, they did not invest much in the purchase of production equipment, mainly buying pure cocoa powder and mixing it with low-quality shell powder before selling.

After accumulating a batch of capital, Gu Jinxing purchased industrial land, built a new factory, and added new production equipment.

Gu Jinxing wanted to be good, but found that the sales of pure cocoa powder could not compete with foreign capital and joint venture manufacturers, and he did not have the patience to insist, in addition to importing cocoa beans to produce pure cocoa powder, he also imported cocoa beans from the market

We purchase inferior slag shell powder for doping in different proportions, and continue to supply the market with so-called "different grades" of products for profit.

In recent years, the profits of these so-called different grades of cocoa powder are getting lower and lower, and they are unwilling to buy high-cost inferior shell powder, and the factory's production capacity is surplus, so they want to import fruit shells and residue skins and directly produce shell powder for doping, so as to save costs.

But I didn't want the first batch of goods to be out of the basket at the customs, which also caused a series of troubles.

Gu Jinxing didn't think that someone was going against him, but it was impossible to suspect Cao Mo and Chen Feng for no reason, and he didn't expect Cao Mo to take the initiative to stab him.

Gu Jinxing looked at Cao Mo, and then looked at Guo Donghu:

Guo Donghu did not mention to him about meeting Cao Mo twice before, which is not surprising; after all, before this negotiation of the acquisition, these were all small things, and Guo Donghu, as the vice president, did not need to report to him in detail.

However, Chen Feng came to the door on behalf of Cao Mo to discuss the acquisition, Guo Donghu suspected in his heart that the customs seizure might be Cao Mo and Chen Feng making trouble, and what kind of mentality did he keep silent about the previous two meetings?

"If Mr. Gu also suspects that I secretly reported Xinxuan Food to the customs, then there is no need for us to continue this negotiation!" After Chen Feng took a tissue and wiped off the water stains sprayed by Guo Donghu, Cao Mo put his mobile phone and wallet on the coffee table, and put on a posture of talking or not talking.

Cao Mo played his cards according to common sense, and directly disrupted the existing rhythm of Gu Jinxing and Guo Donghu.

And since Gu Jinxing has doubts in his heart, he can't talk about anything when he sits down.

After understanding some basic information about each other, Gu Jinxing and the others got up to say goodbye, and Cao Mo and Chen Feng sent them to the elevator before returning to Baocheng's office.

"Guo Donghu deliberately concealed these details and didn't mention them to Gu Jinxing, maybe he thought that the customs seizure was our ghost, thinking that the acquisition would progress to a certain extent, and then put forward conditions with us," Chen Feng asked curiously, "Mr. Cao, how did you see this?"

They visited Xinxuan Food before and did not reach a cooperation, and then Cao Mo met Guo Donghu in Draculamo, Chen Feng was worried that Gu Jinxing would be suspicious, but he really didn't expect Guo Donghu to hide these details without telling Gu Jinxing.

"I'm just a little good at observation," Cao Mo said lightly, "Guo Donghu has personal intentions, but this just shows that Gu Jinxing does have the intention of selling Xinxuan Food, and this has long been in Guo Donghu's eyes - you have stepped up contact with the other two factories in the past two days to put pressure on Gu Jinxing?"

"Is it possible for Gu Jinxing to sell the factory to us?" Chen Feng asked with some hesitation.

"He sold the factory before, maybe it was just an idea, so he only brought Guo Donghu over to test our bid, but now if he doesn't want to implement this idea, Xinxuan's business may be even more difficult - at present, I am the only buyer, if he is a level-headed person, he should know how to make a decision." Cao Mo said.

Chen Feng patted his head, only to know that Cao Mo had just exposed some things, not because he was unpleasant to Guo Donghu for a while, but because he wanted Gu Jinxing to be suspicious and suspicious of Guo Donghu, so that they would have internal conflicts first.

If Gu Jinxing decided that his team was no longer trustworthy, he would probably be even more disheartened and think about selling the factory.

β€œ...... Besides, he has doubts about me in his heart, whether the customs received a report and then seized it, whether it was reported by me, he can completely entrust the relationship to investigate. Domestic protection of whistleblower's information

Protection, it doesn't seem to be too strict, right?" Cao Mo continued, "And since he is suspicious of us, we should follow the other two factories to discuss the acquisition, what choice Gu Jinxing will make in the end!"

Chen Feng couldn't help laughing, thought of another thing, and said: "Guo Donghu has a lot of experience, and his management level is also okay, and he is not deeply involved with the old backbone who follows Gu Jinxing to work hard, I originally thought of suggesting that you directly use Guo Donghu to manage Xinxuan's existing team." Now it seems that Guo Donghu can't be used, and the reorganization of the management team will be more troublesome......"

"Why can't you use it? Just because he has selfish intentions, he won't use it, so can the whole Xinhai still find someone who can use it?" Jin is not a person with a special cleanliness habit," Cao Mo asked with a smile, "Besides, I don't pay you, you work for me for nothing, are you willing?"

"......" Chen Feng smiled awkwardly.

"Xinxuan really wants to be acquired, I still don't have the energy to stare at the domestic business for the time being, I want you to officially join in - Xinxuan is my investment in the acquisition of mature assets and team, and the shares left for the operation team are not as many as Zhongyue's team, but if it can operate stably within two years, I will give the team 10% of the equity in batches......"

Xu Bin took 50 million funds and worked hard from scratch to Draculamo to build a new company, the difficulty and the risks they personally bear are much greater than the acquisition of Xinxuan Food, which has stable production and operation and a complete team and staff.

It can even be said that Cao Mo wants to win the general distribution rights of Huachen in West Africa, and spread out the sales channels of motorcycles and parts in West Africa, Xu Bin They are irreplaceable, so he wants to give Xu Bin 15% of their Tianyue shares and 10% call options in batches.

Even Xu Bin will monopolize the largest piece of cake.

On Chen Feng's side, Cao Mo considered that he would formally establish Conero Foods and integrate related businesses together, so that the total number of shares held by the team could not be too large, and at the same time, Chen Feng could not monopolize too much.

Cao Mo expected that Chen Feng would eventually get about 3% of the equity.

"Baocheng Accounting Firm, Zhang Li can continue to manage - you think about it first, you don't have to answer me today. Cao Mo said to Chen Feng and Zhang Li, picked up his mobile phone, wallet, stood up, and said goodbye and left.

In the Dongsheng Building, where everyone is dressed in suits and leather shoes, Cao Mo, who is handsome and straight, wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, is like a handyman's little brother, Chen Feng is full of emotion in his heart.

He was unwilling to be constrained, and wanted to break out of the sky personally, so he decided to give up his previous good income and founded Baocheng Accounting Firm.

However, can he refuse the conditions that Cao Mo gave him?

Xinxuan Food, in the Qingshan District Industrial Park, covers an area of 50 acres, and the fixed assets such as industrial land, plant and equipment alone add up to more than 40 million, even if Gu Jinxing is in a hurry to get rid of it, the price code cannot be less than 50 million.

If the acquisition is successful, as the head of the team, his annual salary will not be too high, but it will not be lower than other members, and the 3% equity he can obtain directly corresponds to more than 2 million equity assets.

These conditions don't seem to be very high, but they are something that he has not been able to accumulate over the years of hard work in Xinhai.

After the successful acquisition, Cao Mo will merge all the domestic related import trade businesses in the future, and this business can be done, and the income will not be too low, which also determines the bulk of his future income, or from the dividend of 3% equity.
