64 Hello brother
Why do multinational companies acquire Chinese companies?
Because the Chinese market is too tempting.
After many foreign-funded enterprises enter China, they are not adapted; Or maybe they can't compete with local companies. That's when acquisitions become the most effective means of expansion.
On the one hand, it can directly obtain the mature sales channels, market network, talent team and customer resources of Chinese enterprises; On the other hand, by acquiring a competitor, you have the opportunity to eliminate the competitor and hide the brand directly. A few years ago, "Little Nurse", "Robust" and "Lucky Film" were household names, where are they now?
What's more, the acquisition of the top few in the entire industry directly formed a long decision.
Is this the case now? Of course, there are, daily chemicals, cement, snack foods, soybeans, machinery manufacturing, ...... In these areas that we ordinary people have not noticed, the great rivers and mountains have gone away.
If you can't beat it, you can spend money to buy it. This method has been tried and tested repeatedly by foreign companies in China.
Now, they've finally reached out to the luggage industry.
β¦β¦
In Lin Mochen's view, this is just the inevitable result of the development of economic globalization.
He won't think about anything: I am Chinese, protect the national brand, and patriotism is more important than everything. He can only think: if Chinese companies want to participate in international competition, they must go through this cruel test. If you can keep it, it is your own ability; If you can't keep it, how can you blame others?
The cruelty and ambition of European and American countries in the shopping mall are no different from the invasion ~ strategic war they launched against China hundreds of years ago. Even if he doesn't buy China's luggage companies on behalf of DG today, tomorrow, there will be other multinational giants to snatch this piece of cake.
Lin Qian's Aida will face this catastrophe sooner or later, and it has nothing to do with whether he participates or not. He can't change the fate of her and Aida.
And from the first minute he receives a commission from a client company, it is impossible for him to disclose this matter directly to her - this is his professional ethics.
However, it is reasonable to "coldly" draw a line with her on the phone.
ββ
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Representatives of Maggie Si, MK Investment Company and DG Group sat around the round table.
After more than ten days of long and difficult negotiations, the three parties finally reached a consensus: DG Group acquired 51% of the shares of Simecki, achieved a controlling stake, and injected a considerable amount of funds, and the two sides worked together in the luggage market to strive to build Simecki into a leading first-class enterprise in the Asia-Pacific region.
At this moment, in Chen Zheng's view, although this "selling out" is a helpless move, it may also be a new beginning. Because according to the terms of the agreement, DG will send several people to the board of directors and management, but the general manager of the company is still him, and the control is still in his hands. In addition to obtaining a large amount of life-saving funds, it can also introduce foreign advanced technology and patents. Although the other party also put forward many harsh conditions, this cooperation, in essence, is a win-win situation, as the media advocates.
In Lin Mochen's view, Si Meiqi's fate is almost no longer in suspense. Because the original intention of DG's acquisition of Si Meiqi was not to support at all, but to use this shell to enter the Chinese market in a big way. It won't be long before he will, according to the client's entrustment, use some equity splits and side-kicks to achieve deeper control over Si Meiqi; And Chen Zheng's management rights will also be deprived, and the brand of Si Meiqi will soon be hidden and gradually fade out of the market......
Eating the first one so easily, Lin Mochen felt a little tasteless.
ββ
Lin Mochen's team rented a few rooms in the most luxurious hotel in the city center. But instead of going back to the hotel that night, he went to another apartment in the city.
This is a house he bought when he returned to Lin City a few years ago. If nothing else, just to have a private place to live when I return home occasionally.
In addition, it is also prepared for Lin Qian - no matter what time and situation, let this girl, at least have this place to live.
His apartment was on the top floor of a high-rise building, and when he opened the door, he saw that the room was brightly lit. A pair of women's high heels sit in the hallway.
He was not in a hurry, he took a long step and walked in slowly. I looked around first: the floors and furniture were wiped clean and spotless. Looks like the girl has found someone to clean it. But when he saw the two pots of orchids on the balcony, he frownedβthe flowers were all dead, completely dead, black as two thin bones.
Obviously, Lin Qian didn't take care of this place for him at all, but this time he came, so he temporarily cleaned up.
There was no one in the living room, the light in the bedroom was on, and Lin Qian's figure could be seen dangling inside, obviously hearing him coming, but he didn't come out.
Lin Mochen sensed that something was wrong, and immediately walked over quickly-
She was rummaging through the cabinets.
Drawers, cabinets, all opened. My sister, who hadn't seen her for many days, obviously rushed over after work, took off her suit, wore a white shirt and a professional skirt, and her sleeves were rolled up high, and she was burying her head in the cupboard.
Hearing that he had walked to the door, he only turned his head and glanced at it quickly, and his eyes were clearly angry.
Then turn your head away from him and continue to flip.
Lin Mochen's face immediately sank: "That's how you greeted me - without permission, turning over my things without permission?" "And in person?
Nothing like this has ever happened. Even though she had flown to the United States to visit him frequently, she never entered his study or touched his personal belongings.
Lin Qian "snorted" and replied: "For the invasion of imperialism ~ nationalism, we Chinese do not need to talk about any courtesy, righteousness and shame!" β
Lin Mochen understood - she was looking for information about this acquisition.
He was silent for a moment, walked over, pulled her arm directly, forcibly dragged her to the living room, and pushed her onto the sofa.
"Nonsense." He frowned.
In fact, I knew at the beginning that my brother actually came to buy Aida on behalf of foreign capital, and Lin Qian's feelings were a little unacceptable.
Could it be that he really didn't recognize his six relatives, regardless of her life or death? You must know that if it is really him who personally handled the acquisition, it is unknown whether Li Zhicheng can handle it. If they really fight, what will she do with Li Zhicheng? The relationship is bound to be affected, and then separated because of his "black-hearted brother"?
β¦β¦ How can it be?!
She even thought about it, could it be that Lin Mochen took this case in order to fulfill his promise and let Li Zhicheng experience the pain of cramping and bone peeling? But it feels ridiculous to think about it, Lin Mochen is by no means this kind of person who does not distinguish between public and private. And even if he is strong, it is impossible for him to go against her will and forcibly "teach" Li Zhicheng.
She always felt that things were not that simple.
And in her heart, there is a belief that is always above all else - although her brother is ruthless to others, he will never abandon her happiness and only attack Aida for the sake of profit.
So she came today to find out his intentions and position. At the same time, she is also doing what she just did - looking through the information and listening to the wind.
"Brother, why are you doing this?" She spoke directly, her eyes burning.
Although Lin Mochen didn't like her being so aggressive, he didn't want to have a misunderstanding between his brother and sister. He sat down across from her, poured himself a cup of tea slowly, and let her dry for a while.
It was only when her eyes were about to burst into flames that he spoke unhurriedly: "I am not the only partner in the company, is it because my sister is in one of the companies that they will give up an acquisition business worth hundreds of millions of dollars?" Lin is shallow, a little more mature. β
Lin Qian knew that this was one of the reasons! I felt a lot more comfortable, but my tone was still weird: "Then you should have informed me earlier, we should have made plans earlier." β
For this unreasonable request, Lin Mochen directly ignored it and ignored her.
"But do you really want to launch an acquisition of Li Zhicheng?" She asked, "Although public is public and private is private, what about my relationship with him?" Haven't you thought about it? β
Lin Mochen glanced at her. That look was a little meaningful.
"Lin Qian." He didn't answer her question directly, but changed the tone and said, "You have to understand a fact. I won't do this acquisition, and someone else will do it; If our company doesn't accept it, there will be other companies that will pick it up. Even if DG doesn't buy you today, there will be other companies in the future. β
Lin Qian was stunned.
This is particularly cold and heartless at first glance, but ...... Did he mean that since sooner or later she would have to be stabbed, it would be better for her brother to be in charge than someone else?
Is he hinting that he will leave room for her and Li Zhicheng to release water?
If this had been changed, Lin Qian would probably have guessed this meaning, and he wouldn't have asked again. Because Lin Mochen is a very professional person, he may not say some things to his sister too thoroughly, just know each other. She'll be as smart and interesting as ever.
But after all, it is a matter of Li Zhicheng and Aida, and if there is a way, care is chaos, and Lin Qian is still dissatisfied with Lin Mochen's simulated words.
What if? In case she misunderstood, he really meant it literally: Aida would not be able to escape this catastrophe sooner or later, so instead of the money being earned by others, why not let him earn it? With his hard-hearted heart, it really could be so.
Her thoughts were fluctuating, but Lin Mochen spoke again: "Is there anything else?" If it's okay, please come back. β
Of course, Lin Qian ignored his pretended eviction order. She decided to give him a strong dose directly.
She took her right hand out of her pocket and reached straight in front of him, the ring on her ring finger glistening.
Lin Mochen's eyes flickered.
"Brother, Li Zhicheng and I are already engaged." She said, "If you make it clear, will you help us or not?" If you don't help me and make me caught between the two of you, then don't blame me for recognizing him or not. I can do it. β
That's a harsh thing to say. Although Lin Qian's face was calm, facing his cold and dark eyes, his mood was also a little drumming.
And the first time Lin Mochen saw the ring, he intuitively felt displeased.
The only sister who was close to him didn't say hello to him and became another man's fiancΓ©e.
Now, still threaten him in this way? Claiming to admit Li Zhicheng, but not recognizing him?
Scold......
βok.β Lin Mochen stood up expressionlessly, "Then let him wait for death." β
He turned around and went into the bedroom.
Lin Qian: "......"
ββ
In fact, Lin Qian said those words, on the one hand, to let Lin Mochen understand the seriousness of the matter. After all, people's hearts are long, even if these words will make him angry, but he is such a thoughtful person, he will definitely listen to it, and if he really deals with Li Zhicheng in the future, he will keep a hand when he cares about her - well, she thinks so, it is indeed very partial to Li Zhicheng.
On the other hand, she also wanted to force out Lin Mochen's true words - will she help them or not? How can it help?
But now it seems that the effect backfired, she made her brother angry, and even said such gruesome cruel words as "let him wait for death......
Lin Qian rubbed in the living room for a while, and finally felt that what he said just now was too reckless and broke his brother's heart. So silently followed up with the bedroom.
Lin Mochen sat in a chair, looked down at the U.S. stock market chart on his phone, and ignored her.
Lin Qian sat down on the edge of the bed next to him and whispered, "Brother." β
He continued to ignore her.
Lin Qian stretched out his hand and hooked his arm: "Brother...... Isn't it okay if I say it wrong? Actually, I know, you must want to take care of us when you take this case. I'm just not sure......"
Lin Mochen raised his eyes and glanced at her: "It's late, please go back." I changed my mind and will personally initiate the acquisition in a few days. He accepts it, and forget it; If you don't accept it, it's better, I take the initiative to ask for help, join hands with DG Group, and use the shell of Si Meiqi to meet you directly in the market. At this time next year, if you don't see the AIDA brand in the market, Miss Lin, please don't be too surprised. Good bye. β
Lin Qian couldn't cry or laugh, and "took the initiative to ask for help"!
ββ¦β¦ Elder brother! I was wrong, I was wrong! Let's not kill each other! She hugged his arm tightly: "The fiancΓ© is important, and the brother is even more important." If you really do this to me, do you want Heaven's father to be happy? We have been separated for so many years, and you only returned to China at the age of sixteen to find my sister, can you bear to lose it again? β
These words are full of sensationalism and full of softness. And because of the mention of the past, although Lin Qian's original intention was to coax him, his eyes also revealed some true feelings.
Her words and demeanor obviously touched Lin Mochen's heart, and she glanced at her and snorted, but she didn't say anything cruel.
Lin Qian knew him better, so he climbed up the pole and coaxed for a while, finally making a smile flash in his eyes.
"Because of your relationship with me, I will not interfere in the acquisition of AIDA, and my colleagues will be responsible for it - this was negotiated with the other partners at the beginning." He finally fulfilled Lin Qian's wish and revealed more information, "I am only responsible for Xin Baorui and Si Meiqi. β
When Lin Qian heard this, her first reaction was - great, my brother avoided Ida, so she and Li Zhicheng would not have a conflict because of this;
The second thought is that if Xin Baorui and Si Meiqi fall into the hands of their brother, they will definitely die miserably......
Her heart finally fell back to its original place, and she looked up at him again: "Brother, since it was your colleague who did it, then the matter is easy to say." Li Zhicheng is very powerful, if you really fight, your colleagues, subordinates and customers will suffer, don't feel distressed. β
Lin Mochen smiled faintly: "The mud bodhisattva crossed the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, so he came to worry about it for me?" Let's go back first and find out whether Li Zhicheng wants to sell it or not. The terms of the acquisition given to Ida must be the best of the three, he is a much more cold and realistic businessman than you, are you sure he is not impressed? β
Lin Qian was stunned.
ββ
Regarding whether Li Zhicheng wanted to sell Aida, Lin Qian really hadn't talked to him deeply.
From Lin Mochen's words that day, she figured out the clues, and she volunteered: "I'll go to my brother to find out the situation." β
Li Zhicheng nodded and said, "If it's inconvenient, don't force it." β
Lin Qian just intuitively felt that he would definitely not sell, this was his family business. She hadn't thought about it at all, and she hadn't analyzed the stakes at all. Now that her brother said that, she was a little unsure.
After all, he once threw away Aito without frowning. The lost benefit is in exchange for a greater good - this is what he said personally.
Maybe he'll really consider selling Ida.
Lin Qian's mood suddenly became a little complicated. Disappointed? Less. It's just that I'm a little dazed all of a sudden.
Thinking of this, she took out her mobile phone and called him.
"I came out of my brother's place. Where are you? β
Li Zhicheng's voice sounded as low and calm as ever: "Just came out of the company." Where are you, I'll pick you up. β
Since she figured out about the acquisition from her brother's phone call yesterday, Li Zhicheng has been acting unhurried and unflustered. So hearing his voice at this moment, Lin Qian was also a little relieved.
"No need." She said, "I drove straight home, very quickly." β
"Okay." He whispered, "I'll talk about it when I get home." β
Lin Qian's heart warmed for no reason.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qian walked to the parking lot, and saw a familiar figure from a distance, walking towards him.
Depend on. Lin Qian scolded in his heart: The road is narrow.
Chen Zheng was not too surprised when he saw Lin Qian at first glance. A few days ago, he had learned from other people in the investment company that Mr. Lin also had a younger sister who was also in Lin City, named Lin Qian...... At that time, his feelings were very mixed and shocking.
The first thing he remembered was the slap he had in the face;
Then I remembered that when I first competed with Li Zhicheng for the Mingsheng project, I heard people vaguely mention that it was Lin Qiantuo who helped Li Zhicheng pull the strings. At that time, he still thought that Lin Qian still had some connections.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her brother, the investor who is now buying Si Meiqi on behalf of the capital.
Scold...... If he had chased Lin Qian in the first place, what would the current situation be? Maybe Sim Maggie doesn't need to lose so many shares at all to be reborn, right?
"Lin Qian." He looked natural and stopped her, "Come to your brother?" He learned about this address from Lin Mochen's colleague, so he came to find it.
Without him, just to contact this influential investor.
Lin Qian could probably guess what he was here for. She gave him an undisguised look of disgust, turned and walked away.
Chen Zheng stretched out his hand and smiled: "What are you hiding?" I also met Mr. Lin and will be partners in the future. Can't we laugh at enmity? β
Lin Qian: "Neuropathy. β
"Lin Qian!" Chen Zheng looked helpless, "That slap wasn't my intention!" I've been chasing you for so long, you turn around and throw yourself into the arms of Li Zhicheng, which man doesn't hold his breath? I'm just letting them scare and scare you, who knew they would do it? β
Lin Qian was not so easily coaxed, staring at him directly, silent.
Chen Zheng was also thick-skinned, lowered his head, and leaned his face in front of her: "You also slapped me, even if it is flat, is it done?" Do you think I'm willing to sell S. Maggie to your brother? If it weren't for you and New Baorui fighting to the death and disrupting the entire market, why would Si Meiqi end up where he is today? You have been in Si Meiqi for three years, and I treat you well, if you still miss the old feelings, give me a slap in the face, and you will not care about the past in the future. Everyone is a Chinese brand, in the future, in front of your brother, you can help me a little bit, I Chen Zheng will be grateful to you for a lifetime. β
He spoke loudly, and his eyes looked at her very sincerely and frankly, which can be described as an unprecedented dip and a small one.
Lin Qian bit her lower lip, intuitively, she was still very disgusted with this person. But thinking of what he just said, "You think I'm willing to sell Si Meiqi", and then thinking that Aida may face the same situation in the future, it is indeed a bit sad to sigh that the rabbit is dead.
"There's no need to slap it, I don't have this hobby." She said lightly, "My brother, I'm sorry, I have a public and private relationship with him, and I never interfere with each other." Can't help you. After speaking, he didn't look at his face, turned around and left.
Chen Zheng stood in place, watching her drive away, his face slowly sinking.
He didn't know that from beginning to end, Lin Qian never mentioned it to Lin Mochen, and his personal grievances, including the slap.
At this moment, he remembered the various harsh conditions proposed by Lin Mochen at the time of the acquisition, and the various pressures exerted on Si Meiqi...... There was a fire in my heart.
It must be because of that slap. Lin Mochen is so ruthless to Si Meiqi, just take the opportunity to announce his personal vendetta!
He~ Damn, Lin Qian, Lin Mochen, don't let me seize the opportunity in the future, this revenge will not be revenged.
He snorted coldly and turned to go upstairs. When he stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the door of Lin Mochen's house, he already had a graceful smile on his face.
The author has something to say: Actually, sometimes when I think about it, I appreciate everyone's patience with me and this article. Business wars themselves are a very boring subject, and indeed many so-called business wars are basically covered with a layer of skin, and there is no part of war at all. So before I started this article, I told you that I wanted to write about a new subject. This "new", on the one hand, means that I have not written about it before; On the other hand, I want to write a different and real business war. This kind of writing is inherently unlikable to female readers. But you have been chasing it until now...... To be honest, the people who are chasing this article now are all female men, right?
This article has also entered the final battle, thank you very much for accompanying me all the way, and I hope you can be more patient and usher in the ending of this month with me. If I write about the business war next year, it should be the story of Brother Lin, and I believe that it can be written more interestingly, more attractively, more tensely, and more excitingly, and there will be a lot of room for improvement. One day, I will be satisfied if I really write about this subject in such a way that you can't stop it.
Somehow a little sentimental today, so I nagged these words. Love you guys.
See you tomorrow. 166 Reading Network
