Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Lin Daoqiu's price did not exceed Asai Arisawa's expectations, and was even slightly lower by 5000 million yen. This is by no means a reasonable price.

However, considering that this is Lin Daoqiu's first offer, Arisawa Asai feels that there is still room for the two sides to continue the negotiation.

But if Lin Daoqiu only planned to offer this kind of price, Arisawa Asai would not be willing to sell "News Daily" to the other party.

"Although the price is a bit low, if you are willing to accept it, I am willing to keep [-]% of the employees of "News Daily" and let them transfer to "Reader Times"..."

"If you feel that this price is unreasonable or not to your liking, I have another offer here."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he gave Asai Arisawa another piece of paper, and the other party took a look and his eyes lit up immediately.

The second offer he received was a full [-] million yen more than before, which was very much in line with Asai Arisawa's psychological price.

But the question now is, what would the Newsday employees do if they chose the second offer?
Asai Arisawa is now very sure that the final results of the two quotations must be completely different, and the biggest difference is likely to be the placement of those employees.

"What I want to know is if I accept Mr Lim's second offer, what will happen to my staff?"

"If you accept the second offer, then I will arrange the placement of the employees at my sole discretion, and you don't need to worry about it."

Lin Daoqiu put on a very philistine expression and looked at Arisawa Asai. The carte blanche arrangement he was talking about probably meant dismissing most of the people and leaving only outstanding employees.

If this is the case, then I took Lin Daoqiu's money out of conscience and ignored my employees.

"No, no, no... This is absolutely not possible, I will never accept a second offer."

Even though Arisawa Asai was very satisfied with the price of the second offer, he felt that the money was too hot for him, or he couldn't bear it.

But if it was someone else, what should I do in such a situation, I believe that most people would make a different choice from Arisawa Asai.

"You have to think about it carefully. The second quotation is a full 1 million yuan more than the first one. This is not a small amount. As far as I know, after you sell the newspaper, most of the money will be Take it to pay off the debt, and the rest will fall into your pocket, the difference between a hundred million more and one hundred million less is not small at all."

What Lin Daoqiu said is well-founded. Over the years, the benefits of "News Daily" have not been good. Asai Arisawa also owed a lot of money outside to be able to maintain the current situation. If he trades with the first quotation from the company, he will have no money left at all in the end.

"I hope Mr Lim can add 2000 million to the first offer."

Although the second contract was very attractive, Asai Arisawa still suppressed his desire and looked at Lin Daoqiu with a serious face, ready to have a good talk with him about the first offer.

"Impossible. The first quotation is already very generous. I will retain [-]% of the employees. The salary and benefits of these people will add up to at least [-] million a year. This expense is not small at all..."

"And I believe that within a certain period of time, no one should be interested in acquiring the "News Daily", so Mr. Asai, I hope you will think carefully about where to go."

What Lin Daoqiu said is absolutely correct. The newspaper industry itself is a non-profitable industry. If you want to make money, it is not good to do something. There is no reason to throw money into this bottomless pit.

In addition, the competition in the neon newspaper industry is very fierce. Although a medium-sized newspaper such as "News Daily" has been in operation for many years, it is barely surviving.

Once they encounter any financial crisis or sales decline, it may be difficult for them to recover.

If no funder can be found or no one is willing to buy it, the newspaper will have only one fate, and that is bankruptcy.

For Asai Arisawa, he now has the opportunity to retire, and he can also get a good sum of money as his retirement, but the price is to sell the interests of his employees, which is absolutely not for Asai Arisawa An easy choice, after all, he is not the kind of hard-hearted person.

Back at the newspaper office, Arisawa Asai looked very tired. After talking with Lin Daoqiu in golf just now, it was naturally impossible for him to make a decision right away.

Returning to the newspaper office with two quotations in hand, Arisawa Asai couldn't help frowning as soon as he sat down on his seat.

After Kondo Hirafuku knew that the president was back, he immediately knocked on the door of Arisawa Asai's office.

Today Arisawa Asai was going to talk to Lin Daoqiu about the deal, and Hirafuku Kondo already knew about this matter yesterday, so he came to Arisawa Asai now to know the result or progress.

"sit down."

Asai Arizawa looked up at Kondo Hirafuku, then pointed to the chair in front of him.

Kondo Hirafuku nodded, then walked to Arisawa Asai and sat down.

"I know you came here to ask me something, but I can tell you that I didn't have a good meeting with Mr. Lin today, and he also threw me two difficult questions."

After Asai Arisawa finished speaking, he directly put the two quotations from Lin Daoqiu on the table.

"Look at it."

Asai Arisawa pointed to the two quotations on the table. For him, Kondo Hirafuku was absolutely trustworthy, so he did not hide these things that needed absolute secrecy from Kondo Hirafuku.

Kondo Pingfuku picked up the two quotations and read them carefully. When he read the two quotations given by Lin Daoqiu, Kondo Pingfuku couldn't help wrinkling his forehead.

Although Hirafuku Kondo is not a financial professional, the two quotations are not complicated. Simply put, one is beneficial to the employees of "News Daily", and the other is beneficial to Asai Arizawa, but the final result It depends on which side Asai Arisawa chooses.

"Mr. Lin is really a standard businessman. It seems that he has given you a big problem this time."

Kondo Hirafuku is glad that he is not the one who makes the decision. If he decides which of the two offers to accept, then he will not only be very troubled, but also very difficult to make a choice.

"Which offer do you think I should accept?"

Arisawa Asai looked at Kondo Hirafuku and asked with a smile.

Asked by Arisawa Asai, Hirafuku Kondo also smiled embarrassedly.

"If possible, I certainly hope that you can accept the first offer, but unfortunately this is not something I can make a decision on, but no matter what you choose in the end, I will still support your decision, after all, I have been taken care of by you for so many years , I have no reason to accuse you at this time, you have already helped us a lot."

Hearing what Kondo Hirafuku said, Arisawa Asai could only nod his head slightly, but from the hesitant expression on his face, it was clear that he still couldn't make any decision.
