69: The fastest acquisition

Early the next morning, Liu Xiaolin got up at a little past five. He took some bread and milk and set off to pick up Zhao Rui before heading to Huaao City.

Along the way, the two of them didn't stop to rest for a moment. When they were hungry, they ate some bread and milk, and when they were tired, they swapped drivers on the side of the road.

Just like that, they reached their destination around 10:30.

Director Shen had been waiting at the factory gate for quite a while.

When he saw a small car with a Jiangnan license plate speeding towards him, he knew the person arriving must be Liu Xiaolin.

After two young people got out of the car, he quickly walked over and shook the hand of the slightly older-looking person in front: "Hello, hello, you must be General Manager Liu, you've worked hard, you've worked hard."

The person arriving said with a smile: "This is General Manager Liu, I am Zhao Rui, Minister of Comprehensive Department."

"Oh my, General Manager Liu is actually so young!" Director Shen was very surprised.

"Director Shen is also very young. I thought you were in your forties or fifties. Seeing you, I realized you're at most thirty," Liu Xiaolin said, shaking Director Shen's hand.

"I am Shen Zhiyong, thirty-two this year. Alas, it's because I'm too young and inexperienced in business that I'm in this awkward situation today," Shen Zhiyong said with a look of shame.

"The business world is like a battlefield, success and failure are common occurrences in war. We still have a chance to start over," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see our production workshop," Shen Zhiyong said and led the way.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the cardboard box production workshop. The equipment here was still very advanced. After the material requisition and production data were networked and connected to the ERP system, it not only showed the daily output on the equipment itself but also allowed real-time viewing of data in the backend financial system.

No wonder Shen Zhiyong was so ambitious; his production line was indeed very advanced.

Unfortunately, due to the break in the capital chain, the workshop was empty except for the equipment.

"This piece of equipment is the most advanced in the world. After the base paper is laid out, it goes through several automatic processes and can directly produce the set cardboard at the end. On another piece of equipment, patterns can be sprayed and then it's folded into shape," Shen Zhiyong introduced.

"It looks good, but your production volume doesn't seem to be large, does it? With just this one production line, how did you think of occupying the market with low prices?" Liu Xiaolin couldn't understand.

"That's why I said my brain isn't good. General Manager Liu understood this principle as soon as he came. I only understood it when I was about to go bankrupt," Shen Zhiyong said with a sigh.

"Our workshop is quite large. This single production line definitely won't be enough. I have already ordered a set of the most advanced production lines, and they can arrive at any time as long as we finalize our discussion," Liu Xiaolin released the good news in advance.

After hearing this, Shen Zhiyong was indeed very pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected that Liu Xiaolin not only wanted to acquire his factory but had even ordered the production lines, which showed that the other party came with full sincerity.

"That's great. Let's go to my office and have a good talk then," Shen Zhiyong's expression gradually improved a lot.

After the three of them were seated in Shen Zhiyong's office, Zhao Rui took out an acquisition plan and handed it to Shen Zhiyong.

This plan was based on the meeting minutes from yesterday. He had worked overtime last night to make it, checked some data with Liu Xiaolin on the way, and filled it in with a pen in the car. The most important data was the acquisition price, which they set at 7.8 million in the plan.

Shen Zhiyong's psychological bottom line was 8.5 million, so there was still a significant difference.

"I know you think 7.8 million is low, but I want to emphasize that this 7.8 million does not include the three months of worker wages you owe," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile: "Three months of wages would add up to around one million, right? All things considered, you're still getting a good deal."

"You mean this 7.8 million doesn't include worker wages?" Shen Zhiyong was very surprised. He had originally thought the other party wouldn't accept the workers and the wages owed.

"Yes, I will keep all your workers, and I will also take over the wages you owe," Liu Xiaolin knew well that workers would work for whoever paid them.

If Shen Zhiyong was still paying the wages, some workers might not stay. Only by paying them wages and letting them know he was a good Boss could he keep people.

Shen Zhiyong now felt like he was getting a great deal. Although the factory was gone, with this 7.8 million, he could make a comeback and start over.

"Also, I hope you can stay and help me manage this factory," Liu Xiaolin said, seeing Shen Zhiyong happily planning to start anew.

"Ah? I ran the factory into bankruptcy, and you still dare to use me?" Shen Zhiyong was very surprised.

"From your purchase of such advanced production equipment, I feel you are still capable. It's just that you didn't understand how to proceed steadily in the early stages of entrepreneurship, which led to today's situation," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile: "I'll let you manage this factory, but the management system and production process must be guided by me, and the sales unit price will be set by me. You just need to manage the workshop production well."

"But, I still want to do something on my own," Shen Zhiyong said hesitantly.

"I know you still have great ambitions, but isn't it good for you to gain experience by managing and learning from scratch now? Moreover, if this factory grows and develops, I can let you take a stake," Liu Xiaolin threw out another piece of good news.

"I can take a stake?" Shen Zhiyong was moved.
