"Baoyu" is cute and annoying.

Catch anything and bite anything, and if you are not careful, you will make a mess at home. The most hateful thing is to defecate everywhere, a soak of urine here, a pile of there, ladies are afraid to avoid it, and the disgusting thing of cleaning can only be done by Han Jun.

At the same time, it is very clingy, and when you are tired of tossing, you will lie down at people's feet, and it will follow wherever you go, and even pretend to be pitiful when you ignore it.

Bathing, combing, walking, going to the pet store for grooming, deworming, vaccination...... It took up a lot of time, Zhang Lin's good intentions were not in vain, and he used a nasty and cute little beast to make Barrister Han so anxious that he was reluctant to lock him alone at home during the day, so he could only take him and his dog food and toys to work in Donghua Group.

"Baoyu, be honest!"

What kind of owner has what kind of dog, the little beast is very sexy, as soon as he sees the beautiful girl, he wags his tail and goes up to add people's feet, Han Jun picked up the dog chain and warned him, maybe he was really scared, he immediately ran back to the corner and continued to gnaw on its leaky food ball.

"Baoyu is so good." The CFO, who had participated in the M&A negotiations, was happy, squatted down and touched its head, before pulling out a chair and sitting at the desk.

As the "perennial legal counsel" of Donghua Group, Han Jun is very professional and dedicated, and took out a list from the folder of the article and said: "Miss Liu, I found that the due diligence in the early stage was not very comprehensive, especially the important matters such as 'human resources-related financial risks', 'restructuring opportunities', 'employee retention issues' and 'potential regulatory risks faced by the company' were very vague. ”

The due diligence was led by the Audit and Supervision Department, and the Finance Department only cooperated, and it was difficult for them to investigate the American company by asking them to investigate the Chinese financial personnel, and the symbolic meaning was greater than the actual significance.

Thinking that after Tan Hui's accident, the Audit and Supervision Department was in a mess, and he couldn't go to the boss for this kind of phone call, Director Liu could only agree: "No problem, I'll send an email to Lawyer Tian." ”

Han Jun was not worried that this would arouse the vigilance of his American counterpart, after all, the emperor was far away, and he had no problem no matter how he talked to himself, so he changed his words and asked with a smile: "Director Liu, I noticed on the OA that Cocoon Silk Group has contracts with more than 40 customers in Japan, the United States and France, and most of the delivery periods are from the beginning of November to the end of January next year. ”

The cash acquisition of more than 90 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 500 million yuan. Issuing an acceptance bill and delaying the payment for a few months, even if it is calculated according to the current interest rate, it can save more than 200,000 yuan for the group.

Director Liu reacted, and said with a smile: "Lawyer Han, the key is whether the other party will accept this condition. ”

"Let's talk about it, how do you know if the other party will accept it if you don't talk about it?"

Han Jun stared at her eyes and added: "On the issue of mergers and acquisitions, Mr. Li has given me enough authority, and as the group's perennial legal counsel, I think I have the responsibility and obligation to strive for the maximum interests of the group." ”

"I understand, I will do my best to communicate with Lawyer Tian."

"The next negotiation is dominated by you, and it will be up to you as soon as you get it."

The payment link is very important, and on the premise of not being alarmed, Han Jun can only find ways to put obstacles in the way of his American counterpart. Sending away the unhappy CFO, he walked out casually and knocked on the door of the president's office.

"Lawyer Han, I was just about to go to you, sit, please take a seat."

Li Zaikun was as enthusiastic as ever, knowing that he didn't smoke or drink tea, and while beckoning him to sit down, he hurriedly rummaged through the instant coffee.

"Mr. Li, don't be busy, I just finished lunch and don't want to drink anything."

"Then we'll get down to business."

Li Zaikun picked up a fax from the table and smiled excitedly: "I just received it, CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) officially approved our merger and acquisition at three o'clock yesterday afternoon US time. It's not easy to review it at home and abroad for a whole year! ”

According to the U.S. Treasury Department's Commission of Inquiry, any heavy foreign acquisition of a U.S. domestic company can be considered an act that endangers national security. CFIUS's M&A approval can be said to be an important hurdle before foreign capital can take over U.S. businesses.

Han Jun took the notice letter and glanced at it, and said meaningfully: "It's not easy, but in my opinion, the closing of an overseas M&A transaction is only the first step to a successful transaction." Once an enterprise goes abroad, it will face a full range of survival tests, and only investors with high operational management and anti-risk capabilities can survive and get a return on investment. ”

Over the past 20 years, less than 50% of the world's largest mergers and acquisitions have achieved the desired results. In China, there are many more examples of unsuccessful overseas investments. For example, the target company is out of control, joint venture disputes, labor disputes and even violent conflicts, all of which have been repeatedly verified by real cases in the past.

How could Li Zaikun not understand this truth, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, the more we have to be calm at this time, the more we have to be calm, the investment of more than 90 million US dollars is not a small number, if it is really not managed well, it will inevitably drag down the entire group." ”

"Therefore, a successful overseas M&A must be the unity of time, place, and people, rather than just determined by the purchasing power of a release."

Han Jun paused, and then said: "Mr. Li, you have accounted for the 'time' and 'location', and what is lacking now is 'people', I feel that some adjustments should be made to the details of the delivery." For example, the signing ceremony is best held in China, first, it can take advantage of this good news to eliminate the adverse impact of Tan Hui's case and boost shareholders' confidence in Cocoon Silk Group.

Second, you can take this opportunity to organize the management and outstanding employees of the target company to visit the group headquarters. Our industrial chain is so long and our strength is so strong, we are not those leather bag companies that engage in capital operation. Inviting them to visit not only calms people's hearts, but also gives them a sense of belonging to the group. ”

Spending nearly $100 million to acquire not only equity, stores and brands, but also valuable human resources. Li Zaikun did not hesitate to let those experienced management and excellent employees lose out, and agreed without hesitation: "Lawyer Han, you are good at this proposal, even if the additional costs are borne by us, we must hold the signing ceremony in China, not the United States." ”

Control the money and people, and the rest will be easy to do.

As Han Jun expected, although Donghua Group put forward this or that condition and made several adjustments to the details of the merger and acquisition, the other party finally made a compromise in order to smooth the merger and acquisition.

There is a clear direction of investigation, Wu Zhuoxi, Wang Siqiang and Jiang Yi have also made breakthrough discoveries one after another, with the deepening of the investigation, as the signing ceremony approaches, the truth of Tan Hui's murder case has gradually surfaced.

At 5 p.m. on September 26, Han Jun got off work with "Baoyu" as usual, and as soon as the car turned onto the main road of Zhongshan Road, a familiar black Passat sedan flashed to the front, and he followed as if nothing had happened, until he reached the Municipal Party Committee Guest House adjacent to Ping'an Park.

Wu Zhuoxi got out of the car and said, "Researcher Han, I'm waiting for you." ”

Han Jun locked the car door, looked around quickly, and asked quietly, "Where are Wang Siqiang and ginger?" ”

"Inside, the Ding Bureau is also there."

"Who are they?"

Wu Zhuoxi walked with him to the conference room and said in a low voice: "Director Peng attaches great importance to it and came here in person. In addition to Director Peng and our Chen Bureau and Ancient Bureau, there are also leaders of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the Economic Investigation Bureau and the International Cooperation Bureau of the Provincial Department. It is estimated that after the meeting, I, the leader of the task force, should also let Xian. ”

Han Jun touched his nose and asked, "Is it necessary to engage in such hard work?" ”

"Whoever makes us unable to produce hard evidence and wants your American colleague to confess his guilt, can only use your plan. And to adopt your plan, we must communicate with the provincial high procuratorate and the provincial high court, and even obtain the tacit approval of the supreme procuratorate and the supreme court. ”

"That's all it can be."

There were several people standing in the elevator and the corridor, and they knew that they were plainclothes from the Criminal Investigation Bureau without asking, and Han Jun followed Wu Zhuoxi into the conference room, only to see Peng Xiangyuan, vice governor of the Provincial People's Government, secretary of the Party Committee and director of the Provincial Public Security Department, who had met at the inauguration ceremony of the Provincial Legal Counsel Group, talking in a low voice with a leader in his fifties.

When I went to the serious crime team to investigate, I had met the deputy director of the city bureau Gu, who sat next to the leader, and it seemed that he should be Chen Bin, deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City and director of the public security bureau.

"Lawyer Han, we're meeting again."

Director Peng was very enthusiastic, and as soon as he saw him, he greeted him, he didn't wear a police uniform, and Han Jun didn't have to salute, he pretended to be flattered, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello Director Peng, I didn't expect you to remember me." ”

As if in order to establish his prestige, Peng Xiangyuan held his hand tightly and said in a low voice: "Lawyer Han, you are a high-level talent introduced from overseas in the province, not only made outstanding contributions to the economic construction of our province, but also helped our public security system solve several murder cases, you can't remember it or not!" The day before yesterday at the governor's office meeting, Governor Yu and Vice Governor Kang also mentioned you, saying that you should be arranged to be sent to our public security department at that time. ”

Chen Bin is not only the deputy mayor and director of the public security bureau of Jiangcheng, but also a member of the party committee of the provincial public security department. Lawyer Han is not only a member of the provincial legal counsel group, but also a supervisor of our municipal bureau's political conduct, police style and discipline, even if he is willing to be transferred to the public security system, it should be our municipal bureau rather than the provincial department. ”

The master is really powerful, and he knows so many big leaders.

Jiang Yi was so excited that she couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone and give them a few group photos.

Wang Siqiang has mixed tastes, and he doesn't know how to face the "fake foreign devil" in front of him who talks and laughs with the leaders of the provincial department and the municipal bureau in the future. If it weren't for his help, not to mention that he Wang Siqiang was not qualified to enter this conference room, I am afraid that even the Ding Bureau would be excluded.

"Wei Leshan of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Lawyer Han, it's an honor to meet you."

"Zheng Yuan of the Economic Investigation Bureau, lawyer Han, has long admired the name."

……

After a brief introduction, Chen Bin, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau who presided over the meeting, announced that he had entered the main topic, starting with Wang Siqiang of the Western Suburbs Branch, and reported the case one after another.

Jiang Yi was in third place, and in the face of so many leaders of provincial departments and municipal bureaus that could only be seen on TV news, she was so nervous that she was almost speechless. Director Peng made a few jokes about "famous teachers make high apprentices", and she relaxed a lot.

"Tan Hui is a very strong person, and the reason why she married her ex-husband is largely out of consideration for staying in Jiangcheng, and she herself admitted more than once in casual conversations with colleagues in the Audit and Supervision Department. She was not very satisfied with the status quo, because several of the people who joined the Donghua Group with her, including those who were not as good at foreign languages as her, were assigned to the international trade department.

As an export-oriented enterprise, Donghua Group attaches great importance to export trade, as long as it can get orders for the group, the commission will never be discounted, even those newcomers engaged in e-commerce, the annual salary plus commission is not less than 600,000, and the group even tries to help them avoid taxes reasonably. ”

Jiang Yi subconsciously glanced at the master and continued to report: "The reason why she was not allowed to go to the Ministry of International Trade was not because she was not capable and her English was not good, but because Mo Xin, the wife of Mr. Li Zaikun, the chairman of the board of directors, trusted her very much. They all work in the audit and supervision department, one serves as a supervisor and one serves as a deputy director, they cooperate very tacitly, and their personal relationship is also very good, and they often go out to do beauty together, eat together, and go shopping together, but they forgot to give her a raise.

Her annual salary is not only not as much as that of those colleagues in the international trade department, but also inferior to the certified public accountants in the finance department, perhaps in the eyes of the management of Donghua Group, these financial auditors who have not created benefits for the group should get a relatively low salary. ”

Director Zheng of the Economic Investigation Bureau asked coldly: "Internal and external collusion?" ”

"Yes."

Jiang Yi nodded heavily and confirmed in an affirmative tone: "Although her salary and position are not high, she plays the most central role in the entire merger and acquisition case, from investigating the qualifications of intermediaries to the due diligence of later going to the United States, almost all of them are led by her, the deputy director of the audit and supervision department, which means that the suspect must first pass her pass if he wants to succeed in the transaction."

The discovery of the Wang team reminded me and my master of the awakening. A transaction of this magnitude would not have been possible with a single U.S. lawyer and a deputy director of the Audit and Inspectorate Department. From the higher-level inner ghost into our sight, almost all the mysteries have been solved, a typical internal and external collusion, the reason why she kills people is because she is afraid that her position is not firm enough, so that the whole plan will fall short at the last moment. ”

Director Wei of the Criminal Investigation Bureau blurted out: "That car? ”

"That's what we speculated, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain that the proprietress had just given her a car, and she had been killed within a few days of driving. And according to colleagues in the Audit and Supervision Department, some time before she was killed, Mo Xin seemed to realize that the treatment given to her was too low, and said that if she found a suitable deputy supervisor, she would be transferred to the international trade department, or she would be sent to the United States to serve as the financial director of the acquired company. ”
