When I returned home, I told Leon Hua the whole thing.
After hearing it, Leon shook his head, “He’s going down.”
I didn’t understand what he meant, “What?”
“Mu Chen is going down. His way was too gentle, which is not his style. If it were to be the previous Mu, he would definitely not do like this.”
I was curious, “Then how would he react if it were the previous Mu?”
“He would beat that brat, making him unable to walk for three months, and then he would never have the chance to live or work in Hai City again. In a word, he would drive that kid to death, but now, he let him alive. That’s really not his style.”
“People will always change, and if one is getting better and better, that’s good. I actually have an idea.”
“What idea?” Leon squinted and he questioned, “You don’t think it’s too much for us to use Mu too much, do you? You sympathize with him?”
“No. I was thinking that Ying Hua actually wasn’t that happy with that little actor, but she deliberately made us feel that she enjoyed being with him. Is she using us to pass the news to Mu and wait to see his reaction?”
“What exactly are you trying to say?”
“I mean, Ying still has some feelings for Mu, so she deliberately wanted to test him?”
Leon suddenly changed his face and waved his hand irritably, “It is impossible. How can she have feelings for someone who has almost made her die?”
“Some feelings…”
I was quickly interrupted by Leon, “Well, don’t pretend to be an emotion expert. You haven’t figured out your own business yet, so why care so much about others’ business? I’m sick of your being like this.”
While I was saying, he walked away angrily, like I had offended him.
I was talking to myself for such a long time, getting a cold shoulder in the end.
I shouted at his back, “Leon, don’t let me get involved in your affairs from now on. I don’t care!”
…
The next day when I was working, Leon’s internal phone called in and asked me to go to his office for a while. I was pissed off last night, so I dawdled and didn’t go there, but then he asked his assistant to come over and ask me to come. Then I went for him.
Leon was talking to several executives. When he saw me come, he told those people to go out first.
Then he handed over a profile to me, the title of which was ‘Hailan Technology Acquisition Plan’.
I was about to flip through it, but Leon said, “Well, you’re too stupid. I don’t have time to wait for you to read it. I’ll give you a brief introduction here first.”
I closed it and looked at him.
“It’s a company that develops mobile phone software, founded five years ago by two college students. It has developed great software, but due to the disagreement between the two major shareholders, it has been caught in an internal conflict, and now the company is running out of cash and we spotted its accumulation and potential, so we want to buy it.”
“And then?”
“Because this company has gone through two rounds of funding, the shareholding structure is complicated, but the main shareholders were still two. So, if we want to buy this company at a good price, then we have to deal with the two shareholders, but the two don’t agree with each other, so It’s hard to get them all at the same time. I’m going to let you do this.”
Saying this, instead of waiting for my reaction, he handed over a pile of information, “Here is some information about the growth of this company, related events since its establishment and also the future development direction. And then there is some specific information about the two shareholders. Study it and follow up this project.”
I looked at the information of the two shareholders, finding that both of them were graduates of Finance and Economics University, who were seniors two grades higher than me.
“As you can see, they are your seniors, so I think you’re capable of this case and communicating with them is also easier. Well, that’s it. The project headquarters also attaches great importance to it. Before you, Chenxing Hua has tried, but he failed. However, I made my promise in front of the chairman that the case will be done, which was a discrimination to Chenxing. He was very angry and just waited for me to fail, so that he can say something bad about me to the board. You have to make it.”
Leon said it indifferently, but I was nervous, “Your brother has failed and what makes you think I can do it? What if I can’t?”
Leon put down the profile in his hands, looking at me seriously, “Why we will fail if Chenxing can’t do? What makes you think that? And, how do you know it can’t be done when you haven’t tried yet?”
“But the case was taken over by Chenxing once, so if he didn’t make it but I do, isn’t that a slap in his face? He’s a board member, and if we make him lose his face, will he make trouble for us?”
“Have Chengxing Hua never made trouble for you? I have been pushed aside from the board, and do you think that only Aunt Feng is doing something bad? He told father that he is so busy that he just threw it to me, obviously wanting to embarrass me. Therefore, you have to succeed. Once you make it, it’s our turn to humiliate him.”
I became more worried and feel like it’s tricky, but I had no choice.
“The hardest part of this project is that if M&A is succeeded, it must be agreed by the two founders. But the two are not getting along very well, and both of them have supporters and want to kick the other out. It is harder for them to make an agreement than anything, isn’t it?”
“Almost. But it’s not so hard as you imagine. You just need to deal with the two shareholders if you want an acquisition. Break a leg, I trust you.” Leon said plainly.
I cried to him, “I don’t want you to be optimistic about me and you can give this task to others. I have never taken over cases of M&A. I can’t do it!”
Leon replied, “This is the company’s plan, and it’s not a discussion. If you can’t do it, go to the board to admit your failure.”
I wanted to say something more, but Leon stopped me, “Stop. One of the shareholders likes riding a horse, and there is information that he will appear on the suburbs today. Hurry up, you may even talk to him if you are lucky enough. I’m waiting for your good news.”
“But I can’t ride a horse. Isn’t it embarrassing for me to go?”
“I have already applied a membership card for you and the private coach will teach you. Most people who go to the horse farm don’t know how to ride. Big wigs often go there, so many people go there not for riding. Just go, or you will be late.” Leon waved his hand.
I looked at the time and it was indeed very late, “If I can’t do it, you can’t blame me!”
He ignored me and waved his hands impatiently, and I had to go out.
I really didn’t want to take this case, but I had no choice but to do so.
