Before the Spring Festival, there was basically nothing to do, and Zhou Nan officially resigned from the position of general manager of Lanhai Company, and for the time being, he was "unofficial and light".

Lan wanted to come to Haidu after the Spring Festival, Zhou Nan was idle, and the surname Suo took the initiative to go to the headquarters of Feiteng Group, and temporarily took care of Lan Ruo for a few days. Although he nominally has nothing to do with Feiteng, in fact he is still the founder and actual controller of Feiteng.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the Spring Festival of 98 is not much different from previous years for Zhou Nan, the same plain and boring.

In the middle, except for accompanying his parents to his hometown to spend a few days at his grandparents' house, he basically stayed at home every day to rest, or went to the headquarters of Feiteng Group to participate in management decisions, and refused all entertainment.

Feiteng Group did not stop production during the Chinese New Year, and many workers would rather bring their families to stay in the factory to work overtime for the holidays than go home for the New Year. In addition to the attraction of high salaries, Feiteng has initially formed an effective corporate cohesion.

In an enterprise, when workers subconsciously regard the enterprise as their home, the corporate culture of the enterprise is relatively successful.

Zhou Nan once told Lan Ruo that when he led and shaped Feiteng's corporate culture and entrepreneurial spirit, he took a seemingly funny and naïve shortcut - that is, he sincerely treated employees and cohesed them by issuing salaries and abundant benefits that were higher than those of other companies in the same industry. As it turned out, this path was the right one, and the company spent a little more on the cost of wages, but the income was far from being measurable by money.

………… Of course, Zhou Nan has to make a phone call with Lan Ruo and Zhang Ying every night, care about and pay attention to the situation in Hong Kong, and at the same time give feedback to the two women on the situation at the headquarters, so that they can control the overall situation in Hong Kong at any time.

Zhang Ying sent her parents to Australia to settle down before the holiday, and bought a garden house in a city in Australia, so that her parents could live a happy and peaceful rural life abroad.

After that, Zhang Ying concentrated on controlling the situation of Guanhao Group in Hong Kong. In fact, with the "secret support" of Lan Ruo and Lan's enterprises, Chen Guanhao's father and son couldn't jump up at all, and could only watch Feiteng Group slowly put their hands in.

Therefore, with the passage of time, Zhang Ying and Ma Xiaojing gradually grasped the real power of Guanhao, and gradually replaced the senior management personnel of the group, and arranged for people from Feiteng Company to take up positions.

At the same time, Lan Ruo came forward and Zhang Ying cooperated, and the two women also organized a senior management job fair in Hong Kong a few days before the Spring Festival to recruit high-level corporate management talents for the whole of Hong Kong and the entire Chinese-speaking region.

After all, whether it is the headquarters of Feiteng Group, Feiteng International and Guanhao Group, the prototype of the entire Feiteng business kingdom has been basically built, and there is an urgent shortage of senior management talents.

Feiteng Group has a good reputation, and the salary offered is relatively high, and the applicants are very enthusiastic. Under Lan Ruo's arrangement, more than a dozen middle and senior managers under her who were distributed in the headquarters of Lan's Enterprise Group and Langli Energy Investment also submitted their resignations to Lan's Enterprise Group to apply for jobs in Feiteng.

Because of his education and family background, Lan Ruo's vision of controlling the management ability and capital operation of the enterprise is far higher than that of Zhang Ying. Under the unified deployment of Lanruo, the newly recruited personnel were assigned to the headquarters of Feiteng Group, Feiteng International and various enterprises under Guanhao Group.

At the same time, Lanruo also relies on the industries of Guanhao Group in Nanyang countries and the United States and other overseas regions, and has set up branches or commercial offices of Feiteng Group in the United States, Europe, Nanyang and adjacent island countries, and is ready to gradually expand its business and market overseas.

Before the Spring Festival, Lan's corporate headquarters held a press conference, at which Lan Ruo announced that he would give up his identity as the heir of Lan's enterprise, resign as director, vice chairman and executive president of Lan's enterprise group, no longer hold any equity of Lan's enterprise group and its subsidiaries, and officially took over as chairman and president of Feiteng Group.

This news once again caused a news "battle" in Hong Kong and the mainland, but the protagonist was changed from Zhou Nan to Lan Ruo.

Lan Ruo spent the Spring Festival in Hong Kong, and originally planned to come to Haidu on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. But just before she set off, she suddenly got an important business opportunity: Mingyu Co., Ltd., the largest ready-to-wear giant near the island nation, is looking for partners in asset restructuring from all over the world.

Previously, Fame had negotiated cooperation with a German company for a year, and just when the cooperation was about to succeed, the German company announced its withdrawal from the investment for unknown reasons. After that, Mingyu Co., Ltd. set its sights on Hong Kong and sent people to contact Lan's enterprise to discuss cooperation matters.

From this, Lan Ruo was moved. Although Feiteng Group's current main business is in the field of flavor manufacturing, Guanhao Group's industrial sector has a large garment industry, with seven or eight garment companies. With such a foundation, it is still feasible for Feiteng Group to reach out into the field of apparel design and ready-to-wear.

More importantly, in Lan Ruo's view, this is a rare opportunity for Feiteng Group to invest overseas and occupy the market. First gain a foothold overseas, and then slowly develop from point to area, until the establishment of a take-off overseas business system.

Lan Ruo thought about it for a long time and decided to make a decisive move, the opportunity is rare, and if you miss it, you will miss it. So, Lan Ruo immediately called Zhou Nan and discussed with Zhou Nan.

"Zhou Nan, as far as I know, this famous company used to be the largest clothing brand operator in the island country, operating more than 30 famous clothing brands in China and Europe, and more than 2,000 clothing stores in the island country."

"However, in recent years, the situation of fame has been in a state of decline, and it has been losing money for four consecutive years. According to the 1997 annual report of the company, its operating income decreased by 17.3% year-on-year to only 69 billion yuan, with a net loss of 10.9 billion yuan. ”

"There are three benefits to our acquisitions. The first is to take the opportunity to go overseas and establish a soaring marketing base overseas; Second, it can not only directly enter the island market, but also obtain world-renowned brands such as durban, and on the contrary, it can also turn to domestic sales and develop a huge domestic clothing market; Third, backdoor listing in island countries to achieve financing. ”

"We only need a capital of 4 billion yuan, which is about 300 million yuan, to grasp the equity of more than 50 fame, slowly take the fame as our own, and at the same time use this as a platform to set up our market base." Lan Ruo said softly.

Zhou Nan pondered for a moment and smiled, "Xiao Ruo, you think it's okay, you are now the chairman of the group, you are in charge." ”

"Aren't people discussing with you......" Lan Ruo said coquettishly.

"Acquisitions are acquisitions, but in fact, there is no big problem. It just so happens that we are trying to expand into other market segments. But I think there are two things that need to be paid attention to. On the one hand, there is capital, Feiteng has just completed the acquisition of the equity of Guanhao Group, is it a little difficult in terms of funds? On the other hand, you need to be extra cautious when dealing with island people. ”

"As far as I know, island companies prefer to be acquired by companies from European and American countries, and they have some natural psychological resistance to mergers and acquisitions of Chinese companies. Legally speaking, as long as the shareholders of the island company agree to be acquired, it is fine, but the island company usually has more old employees, and many people have been working for a company since graduating from university, so the board of directors pays attention to their opinions...... They will worry that when the Chinese shareholders come in, they may take away their technology and empty the company and leave it alone......"

"In our opinion, it is enough to buy the equity of the other company after paying the equity transfer money, but in fact, the real difficulty lies in how to maintain the subsequent operation of the company. I think that on the surface, it seems that it is not difficult to buy a company in an island country, and it may be possible to buy a small company for $1 million, but in the end, we will find that after the purchase, we will have to bear a lot of costs, such as not allowing layoffs, not allowing wage reductions, etc., and we will also have to negotiate with the union for follow-up operations...... It's a hassle! ”

Zhou Nan said softly and slowly, these were all "experience talks" from his previous life, but he couldn't tell Lan Ruoming.

But Lan Ruo has long known this, because Lan's company has a lot of dealings with island people.

"I understand all of this, you are right, it is true." Lan Ruo grinned, "However, I am very experienced in dealing with island people. It is usually easier to talk about cooperation with people from island countries, but when you talk about cooperation with Europeans and Americans, you will be specific to every detail; Europeans and Americans like to determine the details of the terms in advance and implement them according to this mechanism in the future, while people in island countries like to formulate a mechanism to solve the problem after discovering it. In fact, we Chinese are the same. ”

"We are a bit similar to the island countries in terms of cultural concepts, and everyone thinks that if the relationship is exchanged at the beginning, we will be able to fully cooperate in the future," Lan Ruo smiled, "In fact, in the capital industry, oriental culture is not suitable for business exchanges, and it is not as contractual as Europe and the United States." ”

"Therefore, it is safer to talk about cooperation with enterprises in island countries in accordance with the European and American methods. All the details are agreed upon and taken into account, and they are not afraid of tricks in the future. Lan Ruo laughed, "Okay, as long as you don't object, I'll make initial contact with a famous person." As for funding or something, you don't need to worry, I'll figure it out. I really can't, I can borrow some of it from Lan's Enterprises first. ”

"By the way, speaking of which, I remember something. Feiteng Group should also set up an internal bank, without such a financial platform, there are so many subordinate enterprises, it is difficult to achieve financial control, and it is also not conducive to the rational use of funds. Lan Ruo hurriedly said, "When I pass, I'll start to do this." Zhou Nan, I may not be able to go back in the sixth year of junior high school...... Let's postpone it until the tenth day of the new year, and I'll stay and talk to the famous people. ”

Lan Ruo was obviously in a hurry to meet with the islanders, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Later facts proved that Lan Ruo's decision this time was a move with far-reaching implications. In just two years, Feiteng Group not only successfully gained a foothold in the island country, and reorganized the holding name Co., Ltd. into Feiteng Mingyu Company (Group), making Mingyu once again the largest leading garment enterprise in the island country, but also successfully acquired three other island country enterprises, and penetrated its business tentacles into the core industries that the island country is proud of - electronic products and automobile manufacturing, and held a 10% stake in the island country's largest automobile manufacturer, Yutian Automobile.

When the people of the island country "woke up", Feiteng has taken deep roots in the island country and has grown rapidly, gradually penetrating into many fields such as clothing design and manufacturing, electronic home appliances, automobile manufacturing, financial product investment, etc., employing tens of thousands of employees in the island country, which is closely related to the economy of the island country, and "can't stop".

An island nation media later commented in fierce rhetoric, "Fame company lures wolves, sinners in the history of island nations!" ”

The rebound is a rebound, but because Feiteng abides by the rules and disciplines of the island country and strictly abides by the laws of the island country, employs all employees of the island country, pays a large amount of taxes, and stimulates social and economic development, some ethnic radicals cannot make a fuss even if they are making trouble.

………… Putting down the phone, Zhou Nan couldn't help but smile. Although Lan Ruo claimed to have given up her identity as the heir of Lan's Enterprise and resigned from all her positions in Lan's Enterprise, in fact, as Lan Tiancheng's only granddaughter, how could she really have anything to do with Lan's Enterprise?

It's all tacit. And for Lan Ruo's aunt Lan Xingyue's family, as long as Lan Ruo does not come back to fight for the Lan family's property in the future, it will be up to her.

With the official documents signed by Lan Ruo in hand, the Huang family has no fear in their hearts, and they are not afraid that Lan Ruo will regret it. But I don't know, who said that if Lan is not the heir, he will definitely be a member of the Huang family? There seems to be a necessary causal relationship, but it is not.

After waiting for it, Lan Xingyue figured out this section and regretted it, but it was too late.

As Zhou Nan guessed, Mingyu Co., Ltd. is indeed a little uninterested in cooperating with Feiteng Group, a mainland enterprise in China, and under the pressure of the imminent rupture of the capital chain and the dilemma of capital operation, they have no choice but to come to Hong Kong to ask for help from Lan's enterprises, which in their opinion is already the next policy, if there are European and American companies interested, they will definitely not seek the support of Chinese enterprises.

Kelan's enterprise immediately rejected their offer of cooperation without leaving any room for cooperation. Just when the two executives sent to Hong Kong by fame, Vision Saburo and Kurai Jian, were about to leave Hong Kong in disappointment and return to China, Lan Ruo, the daughter of Lan's company, suddenly found them and took the initiative to throw an olive branch.

Lan Ruo's matter, they have heard a little bit about it after they came to Hong Kong, and they have also heard a little about Feiteng's strength. But to get them to agree to cooperate with Feiteng, their concerns are still quite big.

But no matter how big the concerns are, they can't compete with the pressure of bankruptcy and closure. On the same day, the representative of the famous company called back and repeatedly asked for the opinion of the headquarters. At the request of the notice, the Tokyo-based Prestige Co., Ltd. immediately made an emergency temporary board of directors to study and discuss the matter.

Lan Ruo waited for a day, and the next morning, on behalf of Mingyu Co., Ltd., Vision Saburo agreed to negotiate further cooperation with Feiteng Group.

Lan Ruo summoned Zhang Ying and Ma Xiaojing, and selected several elites who were proficient in business negotiations from Feiteng International to form a strong team and start a three-day arduous negotiation at the hotel where Shiji Saburo and Kurai Jian stayed.

The minimum limit given by the Fame Headquarters is 40% of the shares, but Feiteng insists that it must be controlled, and the two sides are not compromising each other, and finally the talks almost collapsed.

For Lan Ruo, if the merger and acquisition of an island country enterprise cannot be controlled, it will become a wedding dress for the island people, and it will be a waste of financial resources to help Fame Co., Ltd. tide over the difficulties. Lan Ruo would never do this kind of loss-making business, and she also knew that Zhou Nan would never agree.

Seeing that Saburo and Kurai Jian had no intention of making concessions, Lan Ruo led the people to leave with their sleeves up, and the negotiations broke down.

And next, Vision Saburo and Kurai Ken continued to stay in Hong Kong to seek partners, but unfortunately they both hit the nail.

On the island country's side, the situation of the famous company is even more tense, because the wages continue to fall, many workers gather to make trouble, and the island country's political axe also intervenes, making the boss of the famous company Gao Cangteng embarrassed.

Under internal and external troubles, in desperation, Gao Cangteng personally flew to Hong Kong and restarted the cooperation negotiations with Lan Ruo. After bargaining and exchange of interests, the two parties finally reached an agreement to acquire 51% of the equity of Mingwang Co., Ltd. by Feiteng International to raise 4 billion yuan, and become the largest shareholder of Mingwang Co., Ltd.

After the signing of the cooperation agreement, the real asset restructuring has not yet begun, and the fame side can't wait to release the gimmick news of "asset restructuring" in the domestic financial market, when it is said that the Tokyo stock market, the reputation shares soared.

Several of the executives who have jumped from Lan's have rich experience in doing business with island people, and one is even proficient in the island Chinese. Lan Ruo immediately dispatched a M&A and restructuring team composed of three senior executives and five middle managers to fly to Tokyo.

After finishing these, it was already the fourteenth day of the first month, and Lan Ruo took the plane to fly to Haidu.

And at this time, Zhou Nan was already waiting a little anxiously. The appointment of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee will be issued after the fifteenth day of the first month, that is, after the fifteenth day of the first month, he will rush to the central and southern regions to take up his post and leave Haidu.

In Zhou Nan's meaning, it's time for the Zhou family to change to a house. The current house is too small to live in. If it was before, Zhou Ningyu would definitely not agree, but now because the future daughter-in-law Lan wants to live at home permanently, it is indeed a little inconvenient, so Zhou Ningyu nodded and agreed.

It's just that I haven't found a suitable house for the time being, and I can't rush to come, so I can only slowly find a way.

Lan Ruo directly "entered" Zhou Nan's bedroom, and Zhou Nan had to be "expelled" by his mother to the study and build a wire bed to survive, although Zhou Nan wanted to be cheeky and "squeeze" with Lan Ruo, but seeing his mother's very serious face, he knew that this good thing of spending a good moon was basically useless.
