Chapter 130 Mergers and Acquisitions
Li Chulin knew that Tang Xin was telling the truth, so he shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity, it seems that Miss Yuan's hope of finding her brother-in-law is about to be disappointed." ”
In the next two hours, Li Chulin, accompanied by Tang Xin and Meng Baishan, entered the two treasure rooms. After some selection, Li Chulin selected four paintings and calligraphy, two pieces of Song Dynasty porcelain, and a Xuande furnace, negotiated the price with Meng Baishan, and after asking Chairman Yuan Zhenhai for instructions, he agreed to pay the next day.
At noon, Meng Baishan invited Li Chulin and Tang Xin to have lunch at home.
"Mr. Tang, you are from Hengjiang City, and you are dealing in antiques, I would like to ask: Do you know Zhao Yougong, the chairman of Wenda Group?
After drinking a few glasses of red wine, Li Chulin suddenly asked.
Tang Xin didn't know what his intentions were, so he asked, "Mr. Li, do you also know Zhao Yougong?"
Li Chulin shook his head and said, "I don't know him, that's why I want to inquire about Mr. Tang." ”
Meng Baishan was a straightforward person, and immediately said: "Master Tang, you may not know: Haiyuan Group intends to acquire Zhao Yougong's Wenda Group, so Mr. Li asked you about Zhao Yougong's situation. ”
Li Chulin glanced at Meng Baishan, who was unabashed, a little displeased, and said, "Mr. Meng, this matter has not been mentioned yet, please don't spread it everywhere, so as not to have a bad impact on our company." ”
Meng Baishan blushed and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm really talkative." Mr. Li, I punish myself with a glass of wine. ”
Then he took a glass of wine and drank it down.
Tang Xin secretly wondered in his heart: Hasn't Wenda Group been planning to go public, why does it want to merge into Haiyuan Group again?
Because he didn't understand Li Chulin's true intentions, Tang Xin didn't want to tell him the truth, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Li, in the antique world of Hengjiang City, I am just an insignificant small character. Zhao Yougong is the chairman of the well-known Wenda Group, and was once known as the richest man in Hengjiang City, so naturally he doesn't look down on a small role like me. Therefore, although I know him, I do not have a deep friendship with him, and I do not know him very well, so I dare not comment on him. ”
Li Chulin saw that Tang Xin didn't want to talk more, so he didn't force it, and went back to the company after dinner.
After Tang Xin waited for him to leave, he asked Meng Baishan: "Mr. Meng, does Haiyuan Group really want to acquire Wenda Group? Where did you get the news?"
Meng Baishan hesitated for a moment and replied, "It was Liang Gongzi who told me. ”
"When did he tell you, and why did he tell you such a big secret?"
"A week ago, Liang Gongzi returned to the capital, and one night he asked me to drink, and ended up getting drunk. He knew that I liked to speculate in stocks and lost a lot of money in the stock market, so he advised me to buy more shares of Haiyuan Group in the near future. I asked him why, and he told me that Haiyuan Group is preparing to merge and acquire Wenda Group, the largest cultural and tourism enterprise in Hengjiang City, which is a major good news, and once the cooperation between the two sides is successful, Haiyuan Group's stock will definitely rise wildly, and I will make a lot of money at that time. ”
Tang Xin asked strangely: "Isn't Wenda Group planning to go public? Why is it preparing to merge into Haiyuan Group again? Did Liang Gongzi tell you the reason?"
"That's it. According to him, Wenda Group has blindly expanded in recent years, and many investments have been wasted, resulting in huge losses and facing a serious shortage of funds. Because of the poor performance, the hope of going public is very slim. Moreover, at present, the foreign debt owed by Wenda Group has reached billions of yuan, and if it does not find a way to save itself, it will soon go bankrupt due to insolvency.
In order to save himself, Zhao Yougong took the initiative to find Yuan Zhenhai, chairman of Haiyuan Group, and expressed his willingness to merge Wenda Group into Haiyuan Group. Yuan Zhenhai's hometown is in Hengjiang City, and he wants to enter the antique cultural tourism industry in Hengjiang City, and the two sides hit it off.
Not long ago, Yuan Zhenhai arranged an investigation team to Hengjiang City to inspect the core business and performance of Wenda Group. Zhao Yougong didn't know what means he used, so that the investigation team made a conclusion, that Wenda Group is in good business condition and has considerable development prospects. Especially in the business of antiques and cultural relics, Wenda Group is a well-deserved leader in the industry.
In order to prove the good performance of Wenda Group in the antique and cultural relics industry, the investigation team also focused on reporting to Yuan Zhenhai, saying that Zhao Yougong's antique exhibition hall has a golden jade robe and a silver jade robe, which are worth a fortune. Yuan Zhenhai himself is very obsessed with antiques and cultural relics, and he was overjoyed when he heard that Wenda Group had two jade clothes, and immediately made a decision to agree to merge and acquire Wenda Group, and heard that the two sides will hold merger and acquisition negotiations in the near future. ”
Tang Xin suddenly let out an "oh" in realization, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Zhao Yougong, a big liar, a big fool, is so shameless!"
Seeing that there was something in his words, Meng Baishan hurriedly asked, "Why did Master Tang say this? Do you not agree with the conclusion of the Haiyuan Group's investigation team?"
Tang Xin didn't want to tell the truth to this scheming and open-mouthed person, so he said: "Mr. Meng, didn't you just tell me that the Wenda Group will soon face bankruptcy? In order to achieve the goal of merging into the Haiyuan Group, Zhao Yougong concealed the truth, falsified the performance, and deceived the investigation team of the Haiyuan Group.
Meng Baishan looked at Tang Xin with suspicious eyes, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly felt blessed in his heart, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Master Tang, do you have any grudges with Zhao Yougong?"
Tang Xin shook his head very calmly: "No, what grudge can I have with him?"
After returning to the hotel room in the evening, Tang Xin dialed Huang Jianjian's phone and told him about Haiyuan Group's plan to acquire Wenda Group.
After hearing this, Huang Jianli gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, our good opportunity to take revenge has come! I guess that Zhao Yougong must regard those two jade clothes as the most valuable assets of the Wenda Group, and use them as an important bargaining chip with the Haiyuan Group. However, those two jade clothes were fakes. As long as we find Haiyuan Group and tell Chairman Yuan that the two jade clothes are fake, Chairman Yuan will definitely cancel the merger and acquisition plan. In this way, Zhao Yougong can only face the end of bankruptcy, and our great revenge will be avenged!"
Tang Xin said: "I also have this idea, tomorrow I will go to Haiyuan Group, find Chairman Yuan, expose to him the current situation of Wenda Group's operation, and tell him that the two jade clothes are fake." ”
Huang Jianli let out an "um" and asked, "Regarding the matter of "His Book Post", have you explained the truth to Meng Baishan?"
"Not yet. Here's what I thought: Right now we don't have the funds to buy that copy of His Copy. If the true value of this calligraphy is told to Meng Baishan at this time, he may quickly find a buyer, and then we will not have a chance! Therefore, we will have to find a way to raise a large sum of money in the near future to make up for our losses. ”
Huang Jianjian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, your idea is right. It's just that this money is not a small amount, where are we going to raise it?"
