12: Chapter 12 You want to acquire Xu's Heavy Industry?

In reality, this was not Xu Hao trying to put on an act for Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing.

Rather, he genuinely wanted to perfect this Doomsday Vehicle as much as possible.

For one, he wanted to use it to establish the reputation of Xu's Heavy Industry in one fell swoop.

Secondly, he also wanted to achieve a higher rating for the Doomsday Vehicle!

This way, the score given by the MOSS System would be higher, and he would receive more Exchange Points.

However, Exchange Points were not indispensable.

The MOSS System would issue tasks from time to time, and completing these tasks would also allow him to obtain corresponding blueprints.

But these tasks were often random, and Xu Hao did not know when a task would appear.

Hearing Xu Hao's words, which sounded like he was talking to himself, the two men, who had just unbuckled their seatbelts, were instantly bewildered again.

Director Guo Fan: ???

Actor Wu Jing: ???

"Chairman Xu, this… are you still adding more?"

Director Guo Fan turned his head and looked at him with an expression of disbelief.

If he added any more features, this vehicle would truly be road-ready.

Uh… no, it seems like it can already be used directly right now.

Director Guo Fan immediately slapped his forehead.

He still remembered that at the beginning, he only wanted some film props that could move and looked realistic.

Now… looking at the cold behemoth in front of him that exuded a sci-fi atmosphere.

He fell into deep thought…

The three men climbed down from the vehicle one after another, and Xu Hao had the two of them stay for lunch at the factory area.

In the afternoon, the two of them got up and left.

"Chairman Xu, with these props of yours, I am completely reassured now."

Director Guo Fan patted Xu Hao's hand and said sincerely.

"In that case, you can rest assured and continue building the Doomsday Vehicle, while our crew finishes shooting the indoor scenes first. Three months later, we will come back to shoot other important outdoor segments."

Having seen the actual prop, Director Guo Fan was one million percent reassured.

With such a cool and imposing prop, what did giving him another three months matter?!

Actor Wu Jing, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

He actually hoped that Xu Hao would spend more time on the Doomsday Vehicle and other props; mainly because after hearing Xu Hao's various concepts, his heart was filled with anticipation.

So what if he spent a little more time?

Wasn't that for the sake of the movie having better effects and the audience having a better viewing experience?

"Three months is enough. The two of you can rest assured. In three months, I will definitely deliver!"

Xu Hao nodded in agreement, his face full of smiles.

He had originally thought time would be insufficient, who would have thought he would gain another three months.

This suited his wishes perfectly.

Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing got into their vehicle, while Xu Hao stood below, waving goodbye.

Watching their bus gradually depart and disappear at the end of the company road, Xu Hao was just about to turn around and return to the workshop.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another motorcade approaching at the end of the road.

About seven or eight vehicles, and they were all uniform Hongqi cars.

The speed was neither fast nor slow, and they were slowly driving toward the main gate of Xu's Heavy Industry.

The red car motorcade drove up slowly and stopped at the entrance of Xu's Heavy Industry Group.

Xu Hao did not return to the workshop immediately at this moment.

His assistant hadn't notified him in advance that there would be visitors today, right?

How could someone come to visit so suddenly?

Therefore, he was also very curious to know who this uninvited visitor really was.

Under Xu Hao's gaze, two bodyguards wearing black suits and sunglasses stepped out of the lead vehicle.

They walked quickly to the rear door of the second bulletproof Hongqi car and bowed to open the door.

One hand held the door, while the other hand rested on the upper edge of the door frame.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a potbelly, wearing an expensive suit and tie, with a cigar clamped between his fingers, stepped out of the car.

His hair was combed neatly, slicked back uniformly, and greased, looking exceptionally shiny and greasy.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Xu Hao standing at the main gate.

Chairman Dong Baili couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Was he here at the main gate to welcome him?

It seemed the secretary hadn't notified Xu Hao, so how did he get the news so quickly?

After being stunned for a moment, Chairman Dong Baili regained his composure, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Since Xu Hao was so sensible, it could save him a lot of breath.

Seeing this, he walked forward with a grin, "Is this Chairman Xu Hao? Hello, hello…"

One doesn't hit a person with a smiling face.

Although Xu Hao did not know who this potbellied middle-aged man was, nor did he know his purpose.

But since the other party was so polite, he couldn't be impolite, so he walked up and shook his hand.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Chairman Dong Baili of Baili Heavy Industry Group!"

Chairman Dong Baili pulled his suit jacket together and fastened the middle button.

However, the suit was clearly too small, straining over his beer belly and making it look round.

"Baili Group, Chairman Dong Baili?" Xu Hao frowned, puzzled in his heart, "What is he doing coming to my company?"

Seeing Xu Hao's brows furrow slightly and an expression of confusion on his face.

Chairman Dong Baili assumed that Xu Hao just knew he would come, but didn't know his true intention.

Therefore, he spoke directly: "It's like this, I heard that your company has been operating poorly recently, to the point where you can't even pay your employees' wages."

"Therefore, my Baili Heavy Industry Group is willing to acquire Xu's Heavy Industry!"

Chairman Dong Baili looked directly at Xu Hao, his tone indifferent, as if he were talking about an insignificant matter.

"Rest assured, the price won't be low. After all, your father and I were old acquaintances who built up the heavy industry landscape together in the past, so naturally, I won't cheat an old friend!"

"How about this, considering the losses of Xu's Heavy Industry in recent years, I'll take a small loss and offer 5 billion to acquire it, how about that?"

Chairman Dong Baili took a puff of his cigar, then blew it out lightly, forming a cloud of smoke in the air.

His face was full of confidence, looking as if victory was already in his grasp.

The company's investment department had investigated the operating situation of Xu's Heavy Industry in detail.

They found that Xu's Heavy Industry had been continuously losing money for three consecutive years, with losses reaching 900 million, 1.3 billion, and last year, it even exceeded 2 billion.

It couldn't just be called living beyond one's means; it was practically losing everything.

Moreover, a while ago, many veteran employees left Xu's Heavy Industry, and some of them were taken in by Baili Group.

From them, he learned that there wasn't much capital left in Xu's Heavy Industry's accounts.

Even the employees' wages were being delayed again and again.

And of the original six factory areas of Xu's Heavy Industry, only one remained in normal operation.

What it was handling were still the previously unfinished orders.

The entire Xu's Heavy Industry Group would shut down before long, unable to operate normally.

By offering 5 billion for the acquisition, Xu Hao could not only pay off his debts but also settle the employees' wages.

Chairman Dong Baili believed that Xu Hao, this short-sighted kid, would definitely agree.

Of course, in order to get Xu's Heavy Industry as soon as possible, after understanding the situation of Xu's Heavy Industry, Chairman Dong Baili did not stop to rest, immediately had the marketing department draft an acquisition plan, and then rushed to Xu's Heavy Industry in person.

If he could obtain this information, other heavy industry groups must have been able to find out as well.

Especially Tangs Heavy Industry, his biggest competitor.

If they were to swallow this fat piece of meat that was Xu's Heavy Industry, the Jiangnan market would likely really be taken by them.

"You? … Want to acquire my Xu's Heavy Industry Group?"
