140: Chapter 140 Cases Not Taught in Textbooks

Having spent nearly twenty years navigating the business world, Lin Junfeng never expected that he would one day return to a subordinate position to report on his work.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Lin Junfeng felt a wave of emotion for a moment.

It was impossible to say there was no sense of a comedown, but if he had to choose again, he would still make the same decision.

Handing the signed agreement to Liu Yemei beside him, Lin Junfeng looked at the furnishings in the conference room with a hint of reluctance. He had personally set up all of this, and now it was about to have a new owner.

Fortunately, however, he was still here.

"President Wang, according to your arrangements, all of Junfeng Company's shares are now concentrated in my hands, and we can go through the handover procedures with you at any time."

"Of the forty million you gave me, I only spent thirty-five million. I paid the remaining eight million out of my own pocket as a token of my gratitude to you, President Wang, for helping me in my hour of need."

"President Lin's methods have truly opened my eyes. Thank you for your hard work."

Wang Shuo also looked at Lin Junfeng in front of him with some amazement.

From the moment he said he wanted to acquire the shares of the company's shareholders to the complete acquisition of the company's shares, the entire process took less than half an hour.

Not only that, but it was also significantly lower than his budget. By his estimates, this acquisition would have cost at least fifty million, but Lin Junfeng had wrapped it up with only forty-three million.

This was a demonstration of tactics, capability, and vision.

Although there were many shareholders, none of them were a match for him. The only one who tried to form a faction was swiftly dealt with by Lin Junfeng, barely even posing a trouble.

As expected, none of those who could start from scratch and build up to this level were simple characters.

If it weren't for the sheer financial pressure, Wang Shuo figured Lin Junfeng wouldn't have let those shareholders act so arrogantly for so long.

A single penny can indeed break a hero's back; the ancients did not deceive me.

"President Wang," Lin Junfeng forced a bitter smile. "Please don't tease me. If I were truly capable, I wouldn't have run the company into this state, and I wouldn't have needed you to back me up before I dared to make this decision."

"Also, President Wang, as an ordinary employee of Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., you can't call me that anymore. You can just call me Lin Junfeng."

Lin Junfeng maintained a very humble and proper attitude.

Since he had decided to join Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., he would dedicate himself fully to it. Although he still had his own plans in mind, this was clearly not the right occasion to bring them up.

What he needed to do now was to solidify his positive impression in Wang Shuo's mind.

Using swift and decisive methods to deal with Director Wang and his group to achieve Wang Shuo's goal was also out of this consideration.

Only in this way could he establish an image of outstanding capability in Wang Shuo's mind, and only then would Wang Shuo be likely to place him in the position he desired.

If it were anyone else, having just gone from being a company president to someone else's subordinate under such a young young man, they would inevitably flaunt their seniority and act presumptuously.

But Lin Junfeng was not like that.

He had been both an employee and a boss, so he understood the simple truth of doing what was appropriate for one's position better than anyone.

When you are in the president's seat, you can express your opinions freely and direct the course of events, because the entire company needs you to guide the way.

But in an employee's position, all you need to do is fill in the gaps and fix errors. You should offer fewer suggestions and opinions, let alone ask the president for a specific post the moment you walk through the door.

He was someone who held onto his dreams, but those who held onto their dreams were not all fools who didn't know how to adapt. People like those in novels, full of hot blood and inflexible for the sake of their dreams, ultimately face only two endings: one is failure, sinking and floating in this chaotic sea of materialism; the other is an even deeper failure, being swallowed whole without even a crumb left.

Lin Junfeng had already grasped this truth when he was twenty-two years old.

What? You ask why he would stubbornly raise conditions if he knew how to adapt? People always have times when they are willful and emotional. Only then can they be called human, right?

"Oh, that's true." Wang Shuo thought about it, then turned his head to look aside, only to find that Liu Yemei had left at some point. Only the two of them were left in the massive conference room.

The air fell silent for a moment, and an awkward atmosphere gradually spread.

"President Wang."

To ease the awkwardness, Lin Junfeng took the initiative to speak.

"How about I take you on a tour so you can get a more detailed understanding of your company?"

Get a detailed understanding of his own company?

Wang Shuo's eyes lit up. That sounded good; he had indeed only taken a cursory look earlier and hadn't explored in detail.

"Then let's take another look at our company."

Wang Shuo made his decision.

...

At this moment, in the corner of the hallway, Liu Yemei was slightly frowning as she looked at an incoming call.

After a moment, she sighed softly, showed a helpless smile, and tapped to answer.

"Miss."

Chen Xin's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Are things going smoothly?"

The crisp voice seemed to carry a hint of concern, sounding very pleasant.

"Very smoothly, Miss." Liu Yemei's voice was gentle, no longer cold. "The acquisition contract has now been signed. Once all the relevant procedures are completed, Frontier Company's first acquisition will be finalized."

"That's good." On the other end, Chen Xin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if secretly rejoicing.

"Does he..." Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, then continued, "know the details yet?"

Liu Yemei shook her head slightly. Sure enough, women, regardless of age or how shrewd they were, basically turned into fools whenever they encountered emotional matters.

Even someone as shrewd as Miss...

With a soft sigh, Liu Yemei replied, "No, he doesn't, Miss."

"He doesn't?" Chen Xin's voice was filled with confusion.

"In fact, I haven't had the chance to tell President Wang about your involvement yet."

Liu Yemei apologized in her heart. It wasn't that she hadn't had the chance; she simply hadn't told Wang Shuo at all.

Chen Xin seemed to fall silent for a moment before her voice came through again: "Is that so? Then how did you complete the acquisition?"

"It was President Wang," Liu Yemei said, frowning.

In fact, the successful completion of this acquisition also felt quite unbelievable to her.

With only forty-three million, he had acquired an industrial company valued at one hundred and thirty million. Oh, wait, if you count the eight million that Lin Junfeng voluntarily paid, Wang Shuo actually only used thirty-five million to acquire the company.

This was simply...

Liu Yemei had never learned about such a textbook case in any of her books.

Neither had Chen Xin, so much so that after Liu Yemei told her, she remained speechless for a long time.

"So..." Chen Xin said with a hint of surprise, "not only did Wang Shuo not use the money I gave him to acquire this company, but he didn't even spend all the money in your account?"

"That's correct."

Liu Yemei massaged her temples, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.

Everything Wang Shuo had done over the past few days had defied her expectations, almost making her doubt if she had gone to a fake school and studied fake textbooks.

Otherwise, why didn't textbooks teach how to acquire a hundred-million-dollar company with only thirty million?
