Lin Xiaotian sat alone in the wide chair and lit a cigarette, his heart was still very uncalm, and the reason for the unrest could not be told to outsiders at all, because of an article he had read in his previous life, a memorable article, about cross-border mergers and acquisitions, that article gave three practical examples, telling about the difficulties of cross-border mergers and acquisitions, Lin Xiaotian remembered very clearly, because in his previous life, after his successful career, he also moved the idea of acquiring a company abroad, but after inspecting and reading that article, Completely cut off this thought.

In the second half of the 80s, due to the sharp appreciation of the yen, overseas assets were very cheap in the eyes of the Japanese, and the Japanese frantically flocked to the world to buy assets. Their excitement, their frenzy and then their frustration should be taken seriously enough, I don't think all of our cross-border mergers and acquisitions will go down, but there will always be a lot of projects that will hit Waterloo.

In 1989, Japan's Mitsubishi Real Estate acquired 14 of the 19 buildings at Rockefeller Center, America's commercial symbol, for $1.373 billion. After the acquisition, the situation was not at all what Mitsubishi Properties predicted, and in the next five years, the rent not only did not double, but shrunk, and the merger project caused Mitsubishi Properties to lose a total of 88 billion yen, which is equivalent to a loss of 1.1 billion US dollars in five years based on 80 yen to 1 US dollar at that time. In the end, Mitsubishi Real Estate couldn't hold on, and in the sixth year, it was sold back to Rockefeller Center Property Company for only $308 million, and Mitsubishi Real Estate lost a lot of money inside and out.

In 1989, Japan's Sony Corporation bought Columbia Pictures of the United States for $3.4 billion and assumed $1.6 billion of Columbia's collateral debt, setting a record for Japanese corporate mergers. Similarly, five years later, in 1994, the acquisition accumulated a loss of $3.1 billion. In the years after 1995, Sony took a lot of effort to turn the situation around, and later, Sony had to admit that the acquisition was indeed a bit expensive, and was fooled by American securities companies. At that time, there were also Japanese companies that bought Hollywood in the United States, but half a year later, because they couldn't afford to lose, they returned it to the seller at half the price they bought.

In September 1990, Minoru Kumatori, a Japanese, bought the Pebble Beach Golf Course and a scenic 17-mile highway in the United States for $840 million. Minoru Kumatori calculates that if he can sell 1,000 $1 million membership cards in Japan or around the world in a short period of time, he can get back $1 billion and make $160 million. In 1998, he finally couldn't bear it, lost money for eight years, and finally sold the golf course back to the Americans at a cheaper price ($820 million) than he bought at the time.

These three bloody lessons are more prominent, more failures, and the successes have gone through a long run-in period and a long downturn before they got up, Lin Xiaotian had to think more and think more, try to maintain the original appearance when configuring personnel, keep the original appearance of the original team, and keep the face of the original team close to the ground, what he is afraid of is to embark on the old road of the above three enterprises and avoid the same failure as them.

Xenophobia exists in that country, this is Lin Xiaotian's worry, which is also the fundamental reason why Lin Xiaotian recognized that Thomas's integration takes half a year to a year, acquisition is only one aspect, being able to operate is the most important thing, you can't run it, then your acquisition will be meaningless, after thinking about this, Lin Xiaotian found a very serious shortcoming, quite serious, he did not have a good human resources consultant around him, to help himself, to give himself ideas.

The cigarette in his hand had burned to the end, emitting a pungent smell, which woke up Lin Xiaotian, raised his hand and pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, realizing that this problem had to be solved, and it could not be delayed, this is Lin Xiaotian's style of doing things.

"Can you dig up Holly" Lin Xiaotian moved this thought, Holly's performance in this paragraph Lin Xiaotian is still quite satisfied, if Holly can concentrate on the personnel work of the umbrella, it won't take long to definitely make up for their own shortcomings, small and medium-sized enterprises rely on the boss, large enterprises rely on the system, only a good system is the core of the enterprise.

With this thought, Lin Xiaotian left the office and went downstairs to get into the car, with him was Jane, at this time Jane had already informed Holly of Lin Xiaotian's needs, Jane could hear Holly's distress from the phone, and she also understood it, but it was just understanding, the various economic downturns after the stock market crash began to appear, after all, it is not easy to find a job after the stock market crash now, and it is fortunate that large-scale people are not laid off and only salaries are cut.

"Jane, what do you say we will dig up Holly, so that she can concentrate on serving the umbrella" Lin Xiaotian said his inner thoughts while shaking a red wine glass in the car, wanting to hear Jane's opinion, Jane is not a vase, but has a strong ability to work.

"It's difficult, I feel that Holly has a special affection for his company, although I don't know what this feeling is, in short, I feel that she will not change jobs, no matter what treatment you offer" Jane took a sip of wine and said how she felt about Holly for Lin Xiaotian's reference.

Lin Xiaotian's brows furrowed, and after looking at the time, Holly should not have rested now, "You call Holly, I'll talk to her" Lin Xiaotian was a little reluctant and wanted to work hard.

Jane smiled, knowing what Lin Xiaotian meant, she dialed Holly's phone directly in front of Lin Xiaotian, and handed the phone to Lin Xiaotian after saying a few words, "Mr. Lin, hello" Holly's voice came out of the phone.

"Hello Holly, I found a target, I don't know if you can dig it up for me, you can make your own decisions about the treatment" Lin Xiaotian didn't say it directly, but turned a corner.

Holly was wearing pajamas at this time, sitting at the desk in her apartment drinking coffee, there were many people's materials scattered on the table, obviously busy, there was no rest at all, after hearing what Lin Xiaotian said, she smiled.

"Mr. Lin, you can talk about it, I can only say that I will do my best to complete your commission" Holly did not dare to say death, the situation of poaching people is not very good during this period of time, and many personnel in key positions have improved their salaries, and it is obvious that these companies have felt the crisis of talent being poached.

"You are very familiar with this person," said Lin Xiaotian after a pause, thought for a moment, and continued.

"Holly, the candidate I fancy is you, I hope you can be the full-time personnel manager of the umbrella group, responsible for all the personnel work of the group, and you can mention the treatment yourself" Lin Xiaotian said directly, without beating around the bush.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and it took a while for Holly's voice to come, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your appreciation, I don't think I will leave Korn Korn" Holly's refusal voice came, very resolute, although the words were not so ugly, but the meaning of the refusal was obvious.

"That's a pity, Holly, you can think it through whenever you want, you can call me at any time" Lin Xiaotian did not say it to death, but left the hope for the next meeting.

After hearing Lin Xiaotian's words, Holly smiled bitterly, but she was still very grateful for Lin Xiaotian's invitation, she appreciated because of the umbrella, and now Lin Xiaotian was also the first to affirm her ability, and the person who invited her, if it wasn't for her identity, I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to refuse Lin Xiaotian's invitation, after all, this is the first person to affirm herself, and she is very clear about the strength of the umbrella.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin," Holly could only thank.

"Then Holly, you have rejected me for the time being, then your task is coming, I need a consultant with rich experience in personnel, or a human resources manager, I need you to find one for me, I am in a hurry" Lin Xiaotian added a very anxious, this very anxious meaning Holly is understandable, generally Lin Xiaotian added these two words, that is, this matter should be ranked first, and the others should be moved back, which Holly is very clear.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll do it right away" Holly's slightly tired voice came, she could understand Lin Xiaotian's current situation, and she really needed such a person.

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear your words, you don't have to work too late, staying up late is a natural killer of beautiful women, goodbye" Lin Xiaotian hung up the phone after speaking, handed the phone to Jane, and took a sip of red wine with a wry smile.

Jane smiled, she heard it clearly, Holly refused Lin Xiaotian's invitation, as she guessed, but Jane was not happy, she knew that there would be a lot of meetings like today in the future, and she still had to be busy, but Isabella was coming back soon, and she should be a little more relaxed.

The two did not go back to the hotel directly, but went to find a restaurant, ate some supper, and then went, Lin Xiaotian looked at Jane and wanted to keep her, but was hit by Jane's words and returned to normal, "I'm not feeling well, in your words, the eldest aunt is here" After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaotian, who ignored the stunned face, turned around and ran.

Lin Xiaotian patted his face, smiled bitterly and went to take a bath, he was also dizzy, even if there was no Jane, he would be abstinent, this point Zhang Lao explained very clearly, Lin Xiaotian completely forgot Zhang Lao's explanation just now.

After taking a bath, Lin Xiaotian went to sleep, there are still a lot of things to be busy tomorrow, at least the presidents of the big four accounting firms need to receive them in person, although they handed over the assigned work to Doyle and Harvey, but they still have to come forward, this is essential.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiaotian got up early, shook his numb body, and made a gurgling sound, the biological clock was already awake, there was no need to sleep anymore, get up, wash up, start boxing, exercise, and start today's daily routine.

In the past few days, Lin Xiaotian's physical strength has indeed increased a lot, in recent days, Lin Xiaotian has not practiced Tai Chi, but practiced the nameless boxing method taught by Zhang Lao, and played all sides, the last time Lin Xiaotian practiced The speed has been significantly improved, and the whirring boxing style has appeared, after contacting, his body is full of sweat, as if he ran fast for a while, the only difference with running is that he did not pant heavily, and went to take a bath directly after finishing the work.

When Lin Xiaotian came out of the shower, Jane had already come over, and ordered breakfast, just waiting for Lin Xiaotian to eat and leave, Lin Xiaotian was a pair of pajamas, started to eat, and was changing clothes after eating, and now he was in good spirits.

The time is not very long, Lin Xiaotian has already changed his clothes, the whole person looks very energetic, plus the person is very young, he looks very vibrant, young, vigorous, noble son, is Lin Xiaotian's state at the moment.

With Jane and George, they got in the car and set off together, and went directly to the Umbrella Building, and soon rushed to the Umbrella Building without saying anything on the road, and went directly to their chairman's office, today's employees of the umbrella company, one by one, are very spiritual, one is because Lin Xiaotian, the big boss, one is in, and one is that he received a notice, there are guests coming over today, and one by one requires that they must dress well, which are all specific requirements with rules and regulations, and no one dares to disobey, The biggest factor is that because the umbrella is treated at the top, they don't want to lose this job.

"Jane, please Paulson, and Joseph come over with you" Lin Xiaotian said after taking a cup of black tea that Jane had made for himself, Jane nodded and went to get busy, Lin Xiaotian began to drink tea with his head down, today is another day full of passion.

After a short time, Doyle came over first, and made a cup of tea by himself very consciously, without letting Jane do it, and then, Joseph, Paulson, and Harvey all came over, and waited for a while Thomas, Benjamin, and William also came, and Thomas They lived in a hotel arranged for them by the company, not far from the location of the Umbrella Building, so that they could rest.

"Okay guys, I'll introduce you three" Lin Xiaotian stood up and said, Benjamin and the three of them cheered up, knowing that at this time, Lin Xiaotian must be the top of the company.

"This is Joseph, the financial director of the umbrella group, all the financial work of the umbrella company is in charge of Joseph, the company adopts the direct dispatch of the financial personnel of the branch, at least three people in each branch, you know each other, you will have to deal with a lot in the future, there should be more than me" Lin Xiaotian smiled and introduced Joseph to Thomas and the three of them.

Of course, Thomas and the three of them don't dare to slack off, this is in charge of money, and they are closely related, and the time to deal with each other in the future will not be short, and they also introduced themselves enthusiastically and shook hands with each other.

"This is Paulson, the general manager of the umbrella investment company, our money-making machine, and the money harvester" Lin Xiaotian made a small joke when he introduced Paulson, which made Paulson smile bitterly.

But Thomas, Benjamin, William, the three of them don't dare to underestimate Paulson at all, you think about it, what kind of place is this, this is Wall Street, the umbrella investment company can occupy a place, you can imagine, how strong Paulson's ability is, shook Paulson's hand, and introduced himself again.
