Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Auction
With the help of Xu Shenghe, Song Ruosheng easily gained a foothold in the United States, and successfully won the position of the company's marketing director with his excellent business ability and rich knowledge and experience.
Everyone in the company was curious about where this "Andy" came from, they had never seen it before, but their abilities were beyond imagination, and the president of the Internet company came to see her in person and had dinner with her.
After that, Song Ruosheng's status skyrocketed, and he won countless projects in just three years, and he was the most trusted and powerful assistant of the company's president, the highest salary in the entire company except for the president, and there were countless bonuses.
Xu Shenghe will come to the United States to see her when he has time. Every time she is refreshed, she is completely different from Song Ruosheng, who always takes care of this and that, as if she has been reborn.
Xu Shenghe sometimes teased her: "Since you came to the United States, you can hardly see your previous shadow, and if you return to China, I think those people will definitely not recognize you." “
"After all, that Song Ruosheng in China has died, and now it is Andy of the United States who is alive. “
Xu Shenghe smiled, very relieved, it is very good that Song Ruosheng can have such an awareness, and now there is indeed a domestic thing to tell Song Ruosheng, which is related to her, and he should not hide it from her.
So Xu Shenghe said: "Ruosheng, in fact, there is something important to tell you now, which is related to your mother's company. “
Song Ruosheng, who was still smiling, was stunned, and the smile on his face quickly converged in a few seconds: "What's wrong with my mother's company?"
"That's right, because you're no longer in the country, and your mother's company, which was supposed to be in your care, has not been put into it for a long time, and now it's facing bankruptcy and being auctioned. “
"What?" Song Ruosheng stood up suddenly, his expression anxious: "My mother's company is bankrupt?
"The auction will be held next week," Xu Shenghe said, "but if you don't have to be in such a hurry, I will solve this matter, it is your mother's company." It's also the crystallization of your hard work, and I won't let it fall into the hands of others!"
"No!" Song Ruosheng frowned: "That's my mother's company, it should have belonged to me, and since it's bankrupt now, it should be me to get it back." Shenghe, you've helped me too much, I don't want to trouble you anymore!"
"You think too much, everything I do to help you is my own volition, and I don't complain at all. “
"But this time I hope to get my mom's company back. “
Xu Shenghe was stunned, his expression was a little complicated, if Song Ruosheng wanted to get her mother's company back with her own hands, it would prove that she had to return to China now, and when she returned to China to participate in the auction of Song's company, she would definitely see her former acquaintances, what if they recognized Song Ruosheng?
Song Ruosheng saw through Xu Shenghe's worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry." I won't just go back like this, I will go back with a new identity and a different image, even if those people I knew before think that I look like Song Ruosheng, I can deny it. “
Xu Shenghe knew that she couldn't persuade Song Ruosheng, after all, it was her mother's hard work for many years, and she couldn't watch that company fall into the hands of others.
So Xu Shenghe nodded: "Okay, I'll go back with you!"
"Thank you!"
Xu Shenghe smiled: "I said it, everything I do is voluntary, you don't always have to say thank you to me." “
"You really helped me a lot, and I still have to thank you when I should thank you. “
“...... Well, then so be it. “
In fact, Xu Shenghe hopes that Song Ruosheng will not be so polite to herself, so that she still regards herself as a friend as before, rather than someone who can accompany her for the rest of her life.
He didn't like that.
The next day, Song Ruosheng found the president of the company where he is now working and asked him to take a leave of absence to return to China to deal with some personal matters.
The president was a little surprised: "Andy, are you unhappy working in my company? Why do you take such a long leave of absence?
Song Ruosheng smiled and said: "BOSS, don't worry, I will go back to deal with some personal matters, and I will come back when I finish my work." “
"You promise?"
"I promise, I will definitely be back. “
"Okay," the president smiled: "As long as you promise that you will come back, then I will give you approval for this vacation, and when you finish your business, you must come back quickly, our company can't do without you!"
"Got it, thank you boss. “
After the leave was completed, Song Ruosheng packed up, and then returned to China with his suitcase and Xu Shenghe.
Standing in the airport, Song Ruosheng looked at the crowd of people coming and going, her mood was very complicated, she didn't have time to look at it when she left. Looking at it like this now, it feels very strange, originally she belonged here!
She wore big sunglasses that covered half of her face, but that didn't prevent Xu Shenghe, who was beside her, from feeling the change in her feelings.
Xu Shenghe patted her shoulder and said softly: "Okay, don't be sad, let's go back first, I have prepared an apartment for you, and you will live there for the time being." “
"Good. “
Song Ruosheng's identity in China is Andy, the marketing director of a foreign listed company, and in order not to encounter accidents in this auction, she also deliberately cut her black length short and replaced it with chestnut curls, and even clicked a mole at the corner of her eye, eliminating all the features on her body that can be seen by people.
Now, nominally, she is coming to the city for the first time, and the reason for participating in the auction is that she is interested in domestic corporate culture, so she wants to buy a bankrupt company to experience the corporate culture here, which is different from the market tendency.
The auction was just a few days later, and in those few days, Xu Shenghe simply told her about the domestic affairs, and then the information about Song's company was also placed in front of her.
And Xu Shenghe also learned through his connections that the reserve price of the auction bid for the bankruptcy of Song's company was 5 million, and if Song Ruosheng wanted to auction Song's company, he would have to prepare at least tens of millions of yuan, or more.
Fortunately, Song Ruosheng has saved a lot of money in the past few years abroad, and she is not a person who spends money lavistly, and the bonuses given by the company are basically saved, and now, not to mention 100 million, tens of millions must be there.
It's just that Song Ruosheng is still a little worried, the situation at the auction is changeable, in case someone finds fault halfway, she is afraid that her money will not be enough.
Xu Shenghe knew her worries, patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you don't have enough money at that time, I can lend it to you, and it's no problem to want as much as you want." “
Song Ruosheng also laughed: "Shenghe, thank you." “
Xu Shenghe sighed helplessly: "Didn't I tell you before, don't always say thank you to me?"
"But you've really helped a lot this time. I don't thank you, I can't!"
Xu Shenghe laughed.
On the day of the auction.
Song Ruosheng entered the auction hall with Andy and Xu Shenghe's friend, and the people sitting there were all big bosses of some companies, and some people were cunning and cunning, Song Ruosheng still has an impression.
Xu Shenghe reminded Song Ruosheng: "The people who participated in this auction are all big names with heads and faces, but the purpose of them coming here is not to auction, but to make friends with these people who participate in the auction." “
"Got it. “
Song Ruosheng's expression was slightly serious, and he was actually a little nervous in his heart. She hasn't been back in China for so long, she didn't expect that the first thing she did after coming back was so thrilling, if the auction was not successful, then she would really be ashamed of her dead mother!
Xu Shenghe smiled and patted Song Ruosheng's hand: "Don't worry, I'm here." “
Song Ruosheng smiled: "Hmm!"
The auction officially began fifteen minutes later.
The person in charge of the auction was already standing on the stage, he was wearing a suit, holding a small hammer in his hand, and his face was full of smiles: "Welcome to this Song's company's auction." As we all know, although Song's company is not large, it has a strong culture and is a company with cultural heritage. “
He looked at the expressions of the big bosses below, and then continued: "Presumably everyone is looking forward to this auction of the Song Company, and now we give the reserve price of our auction, five million yuan, plus 500,000 yuan for each bid, and there is no back cover!
As soon as he finished saying this, a man in a black suit sitting at the front immediately held up a sign.
"Okay, this gentleman is bidding five and a half million!"
Then a man in a white suit held up a sign.
"This gentleman here is bidding six million!"
In this way, round after round, the price of Song's company was raised to 8 million.
Song Ruosheng asked Xu Shenghe in a low voice: "When do we have to wait until we can bid?"
"Generally speaking, the finale is the best, but if you don't want to wait, you can just make a higher price and put them off. But there's also a risk because you don't know if any of these people are going to be willing to bid higher. “
Song Ruosheng frowned, instead of being scared here, it is better to give it a try, anyway, Xu Shenghe is here, even if he encounters an unexpected situation, he will help himself, there is no need to be afraid!
So Song Ruosheng raised his card: "I'll bid." Twenty million!"
As soon as this price came out, the entire auction hall was in an uproar.
The host pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his face full of surprise: "The beautiful lady on our right is bidding 20 million!
Xu Shenghe glanced at Song Ruosheng, with a confident smile on her face, she really chose to gamble. But also, such Song Ruosheng is the girl he likes deeply, and he doesn't like those little girls who are submissive.
is also because Song Ruosheng bid 20 million, which is the highest bid so far. Many people looked in her direction, and they were all curious about which woman dared to raise the price so much directly!
And just as they turned their heads, some people immediately recognized her: "Isn't that Song Ruosheng, the granddaughter-in-law of the Ji family!"
"Don't talk nonsense, didn't the Ji family's granddaughter-in-law die five years ago?"
"Yes, that Song Ruosheng of the Ji family has already died, how can she still appear here alive? You see that she doesn't look like Song Ruosheng!"
“......“
There was a lot of discussion in the venue, all discussing who this woman who looked almost exactly like Song Ruosheng was.
Song Ruosheng focused her attention on the Song Company in the auction, she looked at the host, and said with a smile: "If no one bids higher than me, is the Song Company mine?"
The host looked at the venue to see if he was willing to bid again: "Twenty million for the first time!"
"Twenty million for the second time!"
"Twenty million, the third time! 20 million deals!"
The smile on Song Ruosheng's face deepened, fortunately, no one bid higher than her, and it was actually earned for Song Ruosheng to take back her mother's bankrupt company with 20 million.
Originally, Song Ruosheng thought that his money was not enough. Unexpectedly, those people's attention was completely attracted by their appearance, and they kept talking about whether they were Song Ruosheng or not, and ignored this auction, it can be said that her luck is still very good.
Xu Shenghe smiled and said, "Andy, congratulations on getting the ownership of Song's company. “
"Thank you. “
After the auction, the host found Song Ruosheng: "This lady, the transaction contract of Song's company will be completed within three days." Please leave your phone number, we will contact you to sign the contract directly, after the contract is completed, Song's company will be completely yours. “
Song Ruosheng smiled and wrote down her phone number, of course, it was done by Xu Shenghe for her when she just returned to China a few days ago, and her phone number abroad cannot be used here.
After leaving the auction venue, Song Ruosheng was in a very happy mood, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
She smiled and said, "Shenghe, you have helped me so much, and I will come back again, why don't I invite you to a meal to express my gratitude?"
"You're finally back, no matter what, it's supposed to be me to treat you, it's just a meal, you shouldn't want to rob me, right?"
Song Ruosheng raised his eyebrows slightly. There was a smile in his eyes: "Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite to you, I want to eat hot pot, how about we go eat hot pot?"
"Okay, we'll eat whatever you want. “
Then Xu Shenghe really took Song Ruosheng to eat hot pot.
Song Ruosheng also went to Chinatown to eat hot pot when he was abroad, but the taste there was still not as good as in China. After five years of eating domestic food, Song Ruosheng's face was full of satisfied smiles.
She said: "Shenghe, it's still delicious food abroad! You can't eat such appetizing food abroad!"
"So you've lost so much weight because the food abroad isn't to your liking?"
"There's a reason for that. “
Song Ruosheng was satisfied with this hot pot, and she didn't go back until her stomach was up, she felt that she had to come here to eat two more hot pots before she went back, otherwise she would definitely miss the taste here in the United States in the future.
When he went back, Song Ruosheng said: "Shenghe, let's take advantage of the time these days, let's go around, I haven't been back for a long time, and the changes here are too great, I can't even recognize it!"
"No problem, I'll accompany you wherever you want. “
Song Ruosheng smiled: "Don't you have to be busy with your own affairs?"
"It's hard for you to come back once, of course I'm going to accompany you, there are other people in the company to help solve the matter, don't worry about me, you can rest assured!"
Song Ruosheng nodded vigorously, and it was really unceremonious to use all the three days to play, this is a feeling that I have never had at all when I was abroad, she works in the company, it is true that the salary is very high, and it is true that the boss is good to her, but she is too tired, and she has been working all the time, and there are few opportunities to communicate with people.
Song Ruosheng still thinks that the atmosphere in China is more suitable for her, and it would be great if she could stay in China.
At the end of the three-day preparation time, Song Ruosheng, who was watching TV in the apartment, received a phone call, which was a woman's sweet voice: "Miss Andy, is it? I am the person in charge of the auction transaction of the Song Company, and the address has been sent to your mobile phone, please come here before three o'clock in the afternoon to sign a contract with us, do you think it is okay?"
"No problem. “
After hanging up the phone. Looking at the time, it was half past ten in the morning, and it was still early, Song Ruosheng leisurely watched a movie in the apartment, and then took a taxi to the address received on his mobile phone after having lunch.
It was a café, and just by looking at the decoration outside, you knew that it was a high-end café, and it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Song Ruosheng was slightly surprised, such a serious matter as signing a contract. Why should I do it in a café? Wouldn't it be better to sign directly in the company?
With a puzzled look, Song Ruosheng went inside, and a woman in professional clothes stood in front of her: "Are you Miss Andy?"
"Yes. “
"Please follow me, our president is already waiting for you inside. “
President?
After entering, Song Ruosheng knew who the president the woman was referring to, and that was the person she didn't want to see after returning to China.
The moment he saw him, Song Ruosheng's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief. And when he raised his head and saw Song Ruosheng standing at the door, he immediately stood up and looked at her with a more shocked expression than her.
"Song Ruosheng?!" Ji Xunyang strode in front of her, stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder: "Song Ruosheng, is it you?
