After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

Xu Jing looked around in boredom until Wang Yuni tugged at her sleeve. Then she came to her senses and greeted Xu Dong: "Hello, uncle."

"Hello, hello... please say a few good words for our company..."

"That depends on the specific circumstances. If you ask for an exorbitant price at the hearing and the consortium rejects your proposal, I will laugh at you."

"..."

The expressions of the other two froze at the same time.

Xu Dong seemed to understand why the public account that Xu Jingyi is responsible for has such a high readership.

I'm afraid she's just a girl who speaks without restraint and likes to make big news... Never mind. How powerful can a public account created by a high school student be? Besides, Xu Dong's thinking is relatively traditional, and he is not very optimistic about the currently popular self-media.

“Decentralization” sounds wonderful, but if the media loses its authority, then what is the basis for it to gain the trust of the people?

For today's hearing, Hengxin used the largest auditorium in the factory. When shareholders and worker representatives took their seats and the media set out their cameras, the two parties vying for the acquisition rights entered the factory at the same time.

Lin Yun didn't take his own car, but took a ride with his uncle.

He looked at the scene outside the window with curiosity for a long time, and said disdainfully: "Uncle, with our family's financial resources, it's just a shabby company like this, wouldn't it be easy to acquire it? Why did it take so long?"

There was a flash of disdain in the uncle's eyes, but he quickly returned to the amiable image of an elder and patiently explained, "Xiao Yun, don't be fooled by its shabby appearance. The land owned by Heng Xin alone is worth a lot of money."

"Ah, really?"

"Of course, look at this location!" The uncle stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the direction of the Beicang River. "If it can be transformed into a real estate project and integrated with the first phase of the Beicang New City project that our family has built before, the money we can make will be much greater than this factory itself..."

Real estate?

Hearing the key words, Lin Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, without leaving any trace, and continued to ask: "Wow, will there be houses built here for sale in the future? I also want to buy one. The quality of the beauties in the nightclubs nearby is very high. Unfortunately, the nearby residential areas are quite shabby, far worse than the building we built."

"Okay, then it's settled. When the development is completed, uncle will give you a villa."

"Hahaha, thank you uncle!"

Lin Yun was dancing with joy, looking silly like he was opening a bottle of champagne at halftime. The uncle looked at him and secretly thought that this young master of the fourth family was really just as the old lady said, a complete idiot.

The children in my uncle's family started taking business management courses at the age of eighteen and learned multiple languages ​​in preparation for studying abroad. What about Lin Yun?

He has no interest in the family business and his mind is full of women. No wonder he lives with those two girls.

It's not surprising that the children of the Lin family are a little romantic, but Jiang Qianxi and Yu Sheng are from well-known families in Beicang. If something happens to them, their parents will definitely not forgive them easily. Aren't they afraid of bringing shame to the Lin family?

The fourth child is the same. He only cares about the company and doesn't care about educating his children at all.

There is no need to worry about raising a useless child who will have a hard time taking care of him in his old age... Of course, from the perspective of competition for inheritance rights, the more useless Lin Yun is, the less competitive the fourth brother's lineage will be, so the eldest uncle has always been very doting on this nephew, hoping to spoil him rotten; he has strict requirements for his own children, striving to make them "useful people" in the eyes of Old Lady Lin.

The uncle was thinking a lot. Soon, the car approached the welcoming team and he could see the bald head of the factory director Xu Dong through the car window.

He quickly collected his thoughts and pulled the overly excited Lin Yun back, saying, "Xiao Yun, be steady... We can talk about the villa later. The key now is to buy this piece of land."

"Eh?" Lin Yun was puzzled. "Aren't you going to buy this company?"

"The land is the company's asset and will not be sold to us alone."

Lin Yun suddenly realized: "Oh, so... buying Hengxin is actually for their land, and has nothing to do with the company itself?"

You just realized it... The uncle was anxious about Lin Yun's IQ, and he smiled falsely and praised him: "That's it, haha, it seems that Xiao Yun has a good understanding of business!"

"Hey, uncle, thank you for the compliment. I'm not interested in doing business, I just like to have fun... By the way, can we go to a nightclub after this meeting?"

"... Let's talk about it later." The uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead and reminded again, "Remember, be steady."

Different from the imposing manner of the Lin Group, Sirius only had one representative who came in a domestically produced electric car, which looked very shabby compared to the grandeur of the Lin Group.

However, the factory director Xu Dong looked at the car a few more times, but before anyone noticed it, he withdrew his gaze and greeted both parties in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Afterwards, everyone headed towards the place where the hearing was to be held, but on the way they encountered a group of workers lined up on the roadside holding placards and banners.

Seeing this scene, the uncle's expression changed slightly, and he asked Xu Dong: "Director Xu, what's going on?"

25. Why am I being entangled with the heroine again?

"Boss Lin, I can't do anything about it... The workers are worried that they will be laid off after Hengxin changes hands. As the boss, I can understand that. They have worked in the factory for many years, bought houses nearby, and their children go to school nearby. If they are suddenly asked to make a living somewhere else, it will cause a lot of trouble..."

Listening to Xu Dong's complaints, uncle Lin Haiqiang couldn't help but frown. This Director Xu was so long-winded. As a boss, he only needed to sell the company and take the money. What did the future of his employees have to do with him?

The assistant came over and whispered a few words in his ear, and Lin Haiqiang realized that Xu Dong was taking the opportunity to say that he attached great importance to the placement of old employees, and whoever could do better in this regard would be more likely to obtain the acquisition rights.

Lin Haiqiang thought about it and realized that in their acquisition plan, about half of the old employees would be laid off. He wondered whether Director Xu could accept this ratio. The key was that he didn't know how many people Sirius would lay off. If he was outnumbered by the other party, he would be in a passive position in the negotiations.

Although the Lin family is wealthy and powerful, most of the resources are in the hands of Old Lady Lin. The funds that Lin Haiqiang can mobilize are actually very limited.

Lin Haiqiang could barely keep up with the price offered by Sirius, but it would be very difficult if he offered more.

After a brief thought, Lin Haiqiang asked his assistant: "Do you think we should temporarily modify the plan?"

"You mean... about retaining employees?"

"That's right. We're going to close this factory eventually anyway, so why not keep all the employees? It's just a matter of paying them two or three months' extra salary..."

The assistant's mouth twitched. "Just" two or three months' salary?

Big brother, do you know how much salary expenditure is every month for such a large enterprise? Although he despised it in his heart, the assistant dared not speak out. Lin Haiqiang's ability to manage the company was very poor, but he was the eldest son of the Lin family, and the probability of him inheriting the group was still quite high. Who would dare to offend him?

The assistant's brain raced, and he suddenly came up with a good idea that would satisfy Director Xu's wish to relocate employees without adding new expenses to the Lin Group.

After explaining the plan in detail, Lin Haiqiang was very satisfied and asked him to revise the plan.

……

Compared with the undercurrents involving the three parties in the acquisition, the atmosphere in the gallery seemed much more relaxed.

After all, we are just here to watch the show.

Since Lin Yun was riding in his uncle's car, he arrived late. Looking around, there were not many empty seats. The only remaining seats were occupied by two "old acquaintances".

"Hey! Isn't this our president Wang Yuni? You've come to join in the fun too. Nice to meet you."

Wang Yuni's face was tense, her eyes were filled with a mixture of embarrassment and disgust, she snorted coldly and ignored him.

However, Xu Jingyi, who was sitting on the other side of Wang Yuni, looked at Lin Yun curiously.

"Lin Yun, are you here with your family?"

"Yeah, come and play."

"Do you think you can win?"

"Of course. In Beicang, the Lin family rarely loses."

Hearing this, Wang Yuni laughed sarcastically, and then said sarcastically: "Oh, what a pity, your Lin family has met a match this time!"

Lin Yun smiled and asked, "Oh? Actually, I don't know much about this Sirius. It seems that you know everything about it."

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuni's eyes lit up, and she said, "Sirius Capital achieved a breakthrough from zero to a scale of 10 billion in just one year. In terms of size, it cannot be compared with the real old financial institutions, but its accurate judgment and profitability, especially its investment in emerging fields, are not comparable to the rich people in Northern Cangtu like your Lin family..."

"Wow, so powerful?"

"Yes, and the owner of Sirius has not shown up yet, but there are rumors that he is a handsome young man from a mysterious wealthy family... He is a truly outstanding person, much better than someone like you who only knows how to squander wealth."

“…That’s true.”

Lin Yun didn't feel happy when he heard Wang Yuni praising his hidden identity. He just felt goose bumps all over his body.

Oh my god...

No wonder Wang Yuni treated Lin Yun as a bad guy without any reason. It turns out this girl just likes to believe in gossip.

The male protagonist has such a clown in his harem. Isn't he afraid that it will affect the IQ of the next generation?

Lin Yun felt worried.

Seeing that Lin Yun was "speechless", Wang Yuni showed a victorious smile. Humph, this time she had refuted him and avenged herself a little bit.

Then he turned to Xu Jingyi and asked, "Right, right? Jingyi, do you think Sirius has a better chance of winning?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or just a perfunctory answer?"

"Uh, the truth."

"The truth is, when it comes to acquisitions involving the manufacturing industry, local consortiums have too much of an advantage. Manufacturing is different from the various virtual industries that Sirius has invested in in the past. It has complex relationships with upstream and downstream industries... Moreover, Sirius is still a foreign company. Unless it offers a particularly high premium or uses a surprising strategy, it basically has no chance of winning."

"...Jingyi, you know a lot."

"I can't say I understand it, I just know the basics." Xu Jingyi suddenly stared at Lin Yun with an ambiguous smile on his face, "Lin Yun, what do you think?"

Even though he had seen Xu Jingyi's style in his previous life, Lin Yun was still a little surprised.

This girl is considered to be Wang Yuni's friend, and is also one of the male protagonist's future concubines.

Lin Yun did not have a very deep impression of her in high school. He only knew that this girl had excellent writing skills, was quite famous in the liberal arts class, and often went to the office to discuss some very profound topics with the teachers.

When they were in high school in their previous life, Lin Yun and Xu Jingyi had almost no interaction. Xu Jingyi despised him for being uneducated, and Lin Yun despised her for being poor, so they kept their distance from each other.

As a result, Xu Jingyi became a self-media celebrity right after entering college, with a huge fan base. She would report the negative news about the Lin family from time to time, but those negative news were often directed at Lin Yun and would not affect the male protagonist.

People in the Lin family, including other forces in Beicang, all wanted to deal with her, but no one had ever succeeded.

Xu Jingyi is a natural journalist who is both talented and cunning.

As for this life, Lin Yun just wants to stay away from her.

Gossip can melt metal, and constant criticism can destroy a person. The knife of public opinion is not only sharp, but also easily out of control.

So when faced with Xu Jingyi's question, Lin Yun simply played dumb: "Who understands what you are saying?"

Then he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and I didn't know who he was chatting with.

Xu Jingyi seemed to be thinking about something, and whispered to Wang Yuni's ear: "Let's change seats. I want to talk more with Lin Yun."

"Ah?" Wang Yuni was dumbfounded. "What do you have to talk about with him? He just did something so outrageous to me a few days ago!"

"It's not that much actually. You're the one who gets impatient and easily let down... Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I'm just trying to help you dig into Young Master Lin's background. Maybe I can help you get revenge."

"Phew...you scared me to death, I thought..."

"Do you think I want to be the young lady of the Lin family? Hehe, you think too much. It's such a difficult time to marry into a wealthy family."

Wang Yuni's face turned red and white. Xu Jingyi was a precocious guy who liked to talk nonsense, which sometimes made her feel helpless.

After changing seats, Xu Jingyi continued to stare at Lin Yun and observe him, as if looking for flaws before hunting.

Lin Yun felt uncomfortable all over.

What’s going on, classmate? I didn’t provoke you, did I?

Why am I being entangled with the heroine again?

26. Why not exploit the heroine ruthlessly?

After a brief opening, representatives from Lin and Sirius introduced their respective acquisition plans.

The entire audience, including those in the gallery, pricked up their ears.

This may not be the happiest part of the hearing, but it is definitely the most exciting part.

Hengxin’s employees are particularly nervous, as this is a scene they have never experienced in their stable jobs for most of their lives, and it concerns whether they can continue to live a stable life as in the past from now until retirement.

Bai Jiangbo first introduced Sirius' plan, focusing on how to help Hengxin get out of its operating difficulties after the acquisition, his analysis of Hengxin's current operating shortcomings, and his idea of ​​reforming the company's organizational structure made the Hengxin executives present show expressions of approval.

However, due to the need to adjust the company's business direction, some employees will be rendered useless and the plan includes 30% layoffs.

Bai Jiangbo said that he would make full compensation to the resigned employees in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and guarantee to issue recommendation letters when they look for new jobs to avoid new companies having doubts about them because of their resignation.

This was a very appropriate arrangement, but it still sparked some discussion among the employees.

Sirius Capital is well-known in the business community, but is little known among ordinary people.

Faced with unfamiliar financial giants, it is difficult for people to believe in seemingly beautiful promises.

In contrast, the Lin Group’s plan seems to be more friendly to its employees.

The acquisition price is almost the same as that of the other party, but it is guaranteed that no old employees will be laid off.

"In addition, in the future, Hengxin will be directly managed by Delin Precision, a subsidiary of the Lin Group. If you are a local, you must be very familiar with the name "Delin Precision"... At the end of the last century, it was thanks to the efforts of Delin Precision that our Beicang was able to receive a steady stream of orders and make a resounding name in the national and even international industrial chain..."

Lin Haiqiang's speech was very infectious. He looks honest and simple, which makes it easy to arouse empathy.

In that era, the old man of the Lin family was still alive, and the Lin family had indeed made an indelible contribution to the industrial development of Beicang. Hengxin also grew up in that wave of investment and factory construction.

Older employees have often used Delin Precision products, and when they were reminded of Lin Haiqiang’s past, they immediately developed a strong liking for him.

It can retain all the old employees and is managed by a professional team with a long history.

Sirius, on the other hand, had no experience in investing in the manufacturing industry and was determined to lay off employees.
