563: Buy it directly

At night, at Feihuang Group Headquarters.

Almost all Chinese car company owners, with a few exceptions, gave President Qian face and attended his meeting.

During the meeting, President Qian merely stated his intention to invest in their companies and provide them with technical support.

Some company owners scoffed at President Qian's words.

Some company owners desperately needed money and immediately fawned over President Qian upon hearing about his investment.

The meeting concluded quickly.

All owners willing to accept President Qian's investment remained.

In the small conference room, President Qian had tea, fruit, and snacks brought in.

"Everyone, you are all willing to accept investment from our Feihuang Group, so let's discuss the details!" President Qian said, "My idea is to acquire 20% to 50% of your shares."

"We will acquire them at your current market price."

He also wanted to acquire them at a high price, but the system did not allow it.

Such obvious large-scale premium behavior, buying low-priced stocks at high prices, was not permitted by the system.

Therefore, he could only buy at market price.

A middle-aged boss stood up and asked, "Our company's performance has always been poor."

"After the liberalization of the domestic and international automobile markets, our company's losses increased even more."

"Now the company is already operating at a deficit, President Qian, while it's not yet insolvent, please just acquire our entire company directly!"

The middle-aged boss had lost confidence in the automotive industry.

If President Qian directly injected capital, they might be able to hold on for a while.

However, with this method of acquiring shares, they would either dilute their own shares or directly sell their shares to Feihuang Group.

Between the two choices, he chose to sell the entire company as a package.

President Qian nodded: "Alright!"

"I'll take your company."

"I will send someone to estimate the price and acquire everything at a 10% premium above the market price."

If it was a complete acquisition, the system allowed a maximum premium of 10%.

This was the highest price President Qian could offer, and the most goodwill he could show.

"Thank you!" A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

If it was a complete acquisition with a 10% premium, then with his shares, he could still have one or two hundred million left.

At least he wouldn't have worked for several years and earned nothing.

Upon hearing President Qian offer a 10% premium, many company owners excitedly stood up, also wanting President Qian to acquire their companies.

"It seems the automotive industry is truly difficult to do business in," President Qian sighed inwardly.

Business has been tough these past few years.

The automotive industry is even harder.

"Alright, alright!" President Qian waved his hand, signaling his secretary, Secretary Xu Zijin, to come in and take statistics.

These lists would all be handed over to Qi Nini, who would negotiate with them.

Qi Nini had acquired hundreds of companies and was now very experienced in acquisitions.

One by one, the bosses left their names and phone numbers.

President Qian told the companies that chose to be fully acquired to go back and prepare their documents; Qi Nini would go to acquire them within three days.

President Qian noticed that there were only a few left.

According to his understanding, these companies, in addition to operating automobiles, also operated other businesses.

There were also companies that were insolvent; even if he acquired them at a premium, they would still have to pay extra.

President Qian shook his head: "Then let's leave it at that!"

Seeing President Qian preparing to leave, the remaining bosses grew anxious.

"President Qian, we are willing to accept capital injection," someone stood up and said.

President Qian said, "I've changed my mind now."

"Since I've already spent hundreds of billions acquiring enough companies, let's forget about the others."

It was tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.

Let the rest fend for themselves!

President Qian felt a bit reluctant, so he said, "Those of you who can go bankrupt, do so as soon as possible!"

With that, President Qian headed towards his large flat.

On his way back, he received a call.

President Qian told the driver to turn around and drive to Feihuang Headquarters, to a secret conference room.

This conference room was underground, surrounded by signal jammers, and guarded by the military.

...

Inside the conference room, two Chinese tech giants were waiting for him.

Previously, when President Qian said he wanted to inject capital, they turned and left, which President Qian didn't quite understand at the time.

Now he understood that there were many things that couldn't be said in front of everyone!

"President Qian, some of us are undercover, which is why we had no choice but to do this." A handsome older gentleman smiled and extended his hand to President Qian.

"It was my oversight." President Qian quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Old friend, you have always been my idol."

"I'm so excited to meet you in person today!"

"President Lei!"

The three of them talked from night until night, burning the midnight oil.

From international situations to future development trends.

From lithography machines all the way to satellites launching into space.

They stayed up all night, chatting very happily.

They reached cooperation agreements on many fronts.

The next morning, they each returned home.

And the next day, after President Qian slept for two hours at home, he returned to this conference room.

The conference room had already been changed.

It had been converted into a computer office area.

A dozen traders operated a dozen computers.

There were dedicated network cables, hundreds of times faster than home internet.

"Ziyong!" Chen Jingfu and Sun Youan were very excited to see President Qian.

They all stepped forward and gave President Qian a hug.

Befriending President Qian was definitely the most correct thing they had ever done in their lives.

Chen Jingfu's assets now exceeded fifty billion.

He hadn't done much, just invested in one of President Qian's Feihuang Plazas.

And then he followed President Qian to get a share of the profits.

When President Qian needed building materials, he would travel all over the world to connect President Qian with building material suppliers.

President Qian was generous.

All construction materials were acquired at market price.

Later, President Qian said he wanted to build two thousand Feihuang Plazas, and eventually built three thousand.

He didn't do much.

Wherever President Qian built a Feihuang Plaza, he would invest in buying property there.

He made another large sum.

Besides him, Sun Youan and the others were the same.

They just didn't earn as much as he did.

In addition to being able to directly earn money with President Qian.

Now his status in Shen City, and even nationwide, had risen.

Simply because President Qian called him Brother Chen.

President Qian recognized him as an elder brother, and he could speak with President Qian.

So others gave him face.

And they gave him a lot of face.

Now, when going out to negotiate contracts.

When Chen Jingfu was mentioned, they didn't say Chen Jingfu of Shen City, but Brother Chen, President Qian's elder brother.

He had as much face as one could possibly have.

Now that President Qian said he wanted to dabble in stocks, there was nothing more to say; he had prepared a mere ten billion.

He had ten billion, and Sun Youan also had ten billion.

The others each had four or five billion.

They collectively raised forty billion.

Zhao Kaixuan, Jin Hongda, Qu Yuanliang, and Tang Lezhan stood behind, calling out, "President Qian."

President Qian smiled and greeted them.

Soon, everyone had gathered.

President Qian said, "From now until the end of the transaction, please do not leave here."

"I have prepared delicious food and various entertainment facilities for everyone."

There was a game room, a gym, as well as a hot tub and a swimming pool.

It could be said that everything was available.

Although not large, it was enough for them to have fun.

There would be dedicated delivery personnel to bring them food, all prepared by Feihuang Group's exclusive chefs.

They could order whatever they wanted to eat.
