Chapter 146 My head is so itchy! Has it grown a new brain?
Ling Yue chugged the remaining half bottle of mineral water, stood up, and said to Qian Xu, "Let's go, take me to meet President Wei."
Second floor, a small conference room by the window.
Inside, there was just a long table paired with ordinary chairs; office supplies hadn't arrived yet, and everyone brought their own computers.
For convenience, the legal team and the investment team were currently working in the same conference room.
Seeing Ling Yue enter, everyone working in the conference room stood up, looking at Ling Yue with respect.
This must be the intuition of workers.
Qian Xu introduced, "This is the only boss of the Company, Ling Yue."
After saying this, Qian Xu pointed to a man in the conference room wearing glasses and casual clothes, saying, "This is the main person in charge of Investment Group 1, Wei Ming, responsible for overseeing the whole picture."
"Next to him are two analysts, one post-investment manager, and one project accountant."
Wei Ming left his workstation and walked with his team members to Ling Yue.
The five of them said in unison, "Hello, President Ling."
Ling Yue smiled at them, "Self-introductions are unnecessary; I have already read your resumes, and you are a very high-quality team."
"But I do not believe in flashy but unsubstantiated words; I only believe in tangible strength and proven results."
Ling Yue sat down, "Let's talk about the Longcui Group matter."
This was her main purpose for coming to the Company.
Everyone sat down.
Wei Ming slowly explained the analyzed situation: "After Longcui Group released the news about selling the 'Feimi' brand, 18 companies of various sizes contacted them."
"We were among them, but I discovered a problem: the Company's pricing in this area is very unreasonable, and their contact with us has only remained on the surface."
Ling Yue nodded, signaling him to continue.
Wei Ming continued, "Logically speaking, when encountering such a crisis, raising money quickly for turnover is indeed the best way, but Longcui Group is a bit too eager, and many of their actions are unreasonable."
"Our team evaluated the market value of 'Feimi' at around 6 billion. Based on the current stock price, 4.8 billion is the minimum acquisition price; anything lower would break the bottom line and wouldn't be able to provide emergency funds for the group, so we offered 5.3 billion."
"It is a price that fits the current situation well, and we can also meet the Company's claimed condition of one-time cash payment, but they actually chose to reach a cooperation intention with a Company that offered 4.5 billion, while still engaging in actions that look like communication but are actually just stringing us along."
One is 5.3 billion, the other is 4.5 billion.
Even a fool would know how to choose.
Ling Yue asked in confusion, "Perhaps the other party is not just offering money, but will also provide other resources and assistance?"
"I haven't heard of that," Wei Ming shook his head.
"Then does the Company have a problem? With such a low price, do the other shareholders agree?" Ling Yue frowned.
Wei Ming took out a document, "It is the Yang Family that claims they want to sell 'Feimi'."
"Right now, Longcui Group is leaderless; there is no one in charge from the Long Family. After being elected by the group's shareholders, the Yang Family has taken over the Company's internal affairs. Even if some shareholders disagree, they are unwilling to step forward. After all, such a big mess is not something everyone has the ability to clean up, not to mention some small shareholders who are all selling their shares and preparing to run away."
Ling Yue narrowed her eyes, "But, it's only been a few days since the news was released, and they are already preparing to sign?"
"They finished the investigation into 'Feimi's' financial and operating status so quickly? They didn't even look into it more; aren't they afraid of taking over a shell Company?"
Or, perhaps the buyer already knew the true situation of 'Feimi' and just wanted to sign as quickly as possible?
The office fell into silence.
"Boss, new news!"
Suddenly, a young man jumped up excitedly.
Everyone in the conference room looked at him.
He was holding his phone, intending to show Wei Ming, but stopped halfway, ultimately walking towards Ling Yue, "President Ling, look, this is news sent back by a friend of mine abroad."
A WeChat chat interface.
The other person sent several messages in a row to this employee.
Ling Yue read it quickly and had a sudden realization.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ming asked hurriedly.
Ling Yue handed him the phone, "The one buying 'Feimi' is a foreign Company, registered for five years, the legal representative is a foreigner, but the largest shareholder's surname is Yang."
No wonder they were in such a hurry to sign!
Wei Ming widened his eyes, immediately associating it, "So, the Yang Family lowered the price just to buy 'Feimi' back themselves?"
"At the same time, they are harvesting the shares held by other shareholders of Longcui Group, achieving a major internal reshuffle, and letting the group completely change its surname to Yang."
Yangcui Group?
No, does that even sound good?
Ling Yue frowned.
My head is so itchy.
In her newly grown brain, a very absurd thought flashed, "Is the Yang Family that rich? Could it be revenue from other industries?"
Wei Ming pursed his lips and said, "We haven't found that out yet."
Thoughts started running wild in her mind, and Ling Yue couldn't help but blurt out, "Do you think the diamond mine in Maple Country could be fake news intentionally released by the Yang Family just to lure Long Zhuoli into the trap?"
"They cheated 9.8 billion from Longcui Group, then used 4.5 billion to buy 'Feimi', and used the remaining money to harvest the shares."
"Whether looking at the investigation or the actual situation, the Yang Family is the biggest beneficiary."
"I had the same suspicion," Wei Ming said, excitedly slapping the table.
