"Ali, aren't you off work yet?"

"There's still something to be done, I'll leave later." Ali said without looking back.

"Okay then, I'll go first, don't work too hard, your body is more important than work."

"Got it, I'll pay attention, you should go back early, my house is close and out of the way."

Ali is a native of Fujian Province who came to Xiangjiang last year, because she has relatives in the local area, and although the process of coming to Xiangjiang has gone through several twists and turns, it has generally been smooth. After arriving in Xiangjiang, Ali's job search experience was also unexpectedly smooth, Ali, who used to be a primary school teacher, directly brought her resume to apply for a clerk, and the result was achieved overnight, without all the hardships of others when looking for a job.

Deeply grateful, Ali cherishes this job, because the year before last, Xiangjiang canceled the relaxed household registration policy, and for ordinary people to establish a foothold in Xiangjiang, they must at least have a legal and stable job, and they must work for seven years before they are eligible to get a resident ID card.

The 'black households' who do not have work visas are now in a particularly difficult situation in Xiangjiang, and they are terrified when they see the police, lest they be caught and repatriated. Compared with these people, Ali, who got a work visa, is very fortunate that she no longer needs to hide from the police like a thief.

The boss of this company is less than 20 years old, a few years younger than himself, and I heard others say that the boss came from the mainland the year before last and has worked hard to create a career. Maybe it's because they are both mainlanders that people take special care of themselves who don't speak Xiangjiang dialect, right? Speaking of which, there are many people like me in the company.

Ali, who decided to do this, is very serious about her work, and she has nothing else to repay her boss, so she can always do it if she works hard. And the efforts during this period have also reaped rich rewards, because the company's recent efficiency has been greatly improved, and the bonuses issued a year ago are also quite expensive.

The fax machine of the "Squeak Squeak ......" company rang.

Ali hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and the fax was in English. As a former elementary school teacher, Ali feels powerless, and now domestic universities have not started English courses.

"Forget it, take it to the manager's office and hand it over to Mr. Ye." There were also a lot of English faxes before, and Ali did just that.

……

"It seems that your fears have been fulfilled." Ye Zhiming smiled bitterly.

Li Xuechu took the fax and first glanced at the name of the company that sent the letter.

"Hasbro, Hasbro?" Li Xuechu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he really couldn't help but worry, as soon as he was worried, he came to the door, and his actions were faster than the local Huang Yilang.

The content is to discuss the company's cooperation with Oriental DreamWorks, and Hasbro's sales staff will arrive in Xiangjiang in two days, if you agree, please reply as soon as possible.

"It's mostly in the guise of buying us." Ye Zhiming shook his head and said.

"We are not a listed company, and we still have the final say on whether to acquire or not. There's nothing we can do if we don't say yes to them. ”

At present, many companies in Hong Kong, including Europe and the United States, are indulging in the huge wealth that has been brought by the company's listing, including the domestic market in later generations. It is no wonder that the stock market has long been rich and countless, such as the peak of the Xiangjiang economy, the stock market has created a lot of billionaires every year, and it is normal for the wealth of the company's shareholders to skyrocket several times once it is listed.

But not many people care about the huge risks of going public now, and many companies have money after listing, but the company is not their own. For some company bosses with poor profitability and hidden internal risks, they can't wait to circle money and leave. But it's not a good deal for quality companies, especially smaller ones. The boss has become a part-time worker, and it doesn't matter much to him if the company makes money after the shares are diluted.

If Oriental DreamWorks were a publicly traded company, Hasbro would have had the option of forcibly buying over the stock market after the takeover talks broke down, but there is nothing it can do now. As long as they insist on not selling, they will have no choice but to make money.

"So what about them? Hehe, although we haven't replied yet, he has already made it clear that he will come over the day after tomorrow, and the person who came is not good. Ye Zhiming said with a smile.

"It's coming, it's coming, and we can't stop people from coming. However, there is no need to talk about acquisitions, and it is a bit basic to cooperate or negotiate patent licensing. Let's see what they have to say. ”

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.

Hasbro was founded in 1923 as a textile scrap and later as a pencil case and school supplies.

In the thirties and forties, Hasbro shifted its focus to children's puzzle games. The first pot of gold came from a game launched in 1935 with the theme of real estate fraud: Real Estate Tycoon. This game has endured for generations to come, of course, fewer people in China may have heard of it, but if you talk about Monopoly, many people have heard of it.

In 1964, Hasbro launched the world's first figurin: Special Forces. This 'doll', which can change its posture at will, was not expected by the outside world or even the designer himself at first, and the word doll was coined to distinguish it from the 'doll'. But unexpectedly, the special forces were a great success from the very beginning and flourished for forty years.

However, Hasbro's most successful toy line is the Star Wars series, which was a huge success when it was launched in '77 and set a precedent for children's collectible toys.

If we continue to move forward according to history, Hasbro will soon launch Transformers and take the world by storm. It's a pity that history has deviated here, and Transformers came out nearly three years ahead of schedule.

When Transformers first appeared in the North American market, Hasbro, which was extremely concerned about the toy market, noticed this prototype alloy robot toy that could transform into cars and airplanes. The idea of this transformable toy has left the company at bay, but the price tag is staggering at over $10. Hasbro keeps an eye on the sales of this expensive robot toy.

To the shock of the company's executives, the high price did not stop the children's enthusiasm, and the sales of this toy began to grow rapidly after it was known to children along with the comics. Although it has not affected the sales of its own Star Wars series of toys at present, it is really difficult to say what will happen in the future.

Acquisitions are undoubtedly the most advantageous option for potential competitors, and taking them under their control and strengthening themselves is a must for every large company, something that Hasbro has done for decades.

Mr. Hassfield, who is in charge of the international market, has led the team on a flight to the East.

Xiangjiang, the city where the rival is located, is undoubtedly foreign to most Americans today. For Lao Mei, most people can't call the second Asian city except Tokyo, and even Tokyo has only been known in recent years.

Now, with a large number of toys branded as 'madeinhongkong' being marketed all over the world, Oriental DreamWorks and the city where it is located are becoming more known.
