If you cheat, money will follow

In August 2008, Porsche finally couldn't bear the urgency and sent a business letter to Leda Investment Company, hoping to negotiate on the target company's option shares.

Leda Investment Company also responded immediately with one comment:

Negotiation is possible, but the location must be in Jiangzhou.

Stuttgart, Zuffenhausen.

"Sir, the other party agrees to negotiate, but the location must be in Jiangzhou. The attitude is very strong."

"They saw our plan clearly from the beginning and took the absolute initiative. It's natural for them to be strong."

"Then what should we do now? Should we go or not?"

"We must talk. Let's go there first. It's best to reach a general agreement. Wendelin, you should book your flight now, the earliest one."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Keep it secret and don't let others know."

"Ok!"

Jiangzhou.

The building purchased by Leda Investment Company has been renovated and renamed Leda Building.

Leda Building is located on the edge of Jingjiang River, across the river from Jingjiang Villa. The location is not central, but the scenery is excellent.

Xu Xiaolan was in Chang Le's office, reporting the arrangements of the building to Chang Le and Zeng Xi.

"Boss, Mr. Zeng, according to your opinions, we have arranged this..."

"The building has a total of 31 floors. The 31st floor is completely renovated with a glass curtain wall and is planned to be used as the company's large conference room..."

"The 30th floor is the floor you use, boss. It mainly consists of an office area, a reception area, a small conference room and a rest area. The rest area covers an area of ​​280 square meters and is a standard four-bedroom apartment."

"The 29th floor is the floor used by Mr. Zeng. The overall layout is roughly similar to the 31st floor, but the details have been modified according to Mr. Zeng's opinions."

"The 28th floor is the floor of our administrative department..."

"The 27th floor is the floor of the trading department..."

"The 26th floor is the Finance Department..."

"The 25th floor is the Human Resources Department..."

"The 24th floor is the investment department..."

"The 23rd floor is the gym, which includes the main fitness equipment on the market, including treadmills, elliptical machines, rowing machines, spinning bikes, etc. There are also bathrooms on this floor...basically equivalent to a large gym."

"The 22nd floor is the entertainment floor. The main facilities include billiards, tennis, table tennis, football, game rooms, cinemas, etc."

"The 21st floor is the restaurant. We have reached an agreement with the Ramada Hotel. The entire restaurant will be outsourced to the Ramada Hotel. The other party will provide all-day meals and non-formal meals, mainly in the form of buffets. The monthly cost is 300 million yuan, which is derived from the rent. Deduction.”

"Below the 21st floor, the entire building is rented out to the Ramada Hotel. The annual rent deducts the catering expenses and brings in 2000 million yuan. This part of the funds can basically cover the daily operating expenses of the building and the use of the apartment being renovated."

"In addition, the apartment has been connected to the Leda Building, with separate passages and closed circulation. The apartment is currently being renovated and renovated, and it is planned to be transformed into more than 600 suites ranging from 40 to 60 square meters."

"The plan is that each ordinary employee will be allocated a 40-square-meter apartment, and ministerial-level apartments will be allocated 60 square meters..."

"The employees bear the water and electricity bills of the apartment by themselves, and the company bears the network and property expenses. After the apartment is put into use, the company will no longer issue monthly housing subsidies."

After Xu Xiaolan finished her report, Chang Le looked at Zeng Xi: "Sister Zeng, do you have anything to add?"

Zeng Xi said: "I do have one thing to add. In terms of apartment allocation, men and women must be separated into different levels, and there must be no mixing of men and women."

"Also, Xiaolan, please try your best to emphasize to each department that dating is strictly prohibited within the company. I have discovered some signs recently, and it's not too late now."

Then, Zeng Xi explained to Chang Le:

"I should be blamed for this. When I asked the human resources department to recruit, for the sake of the company's image, the appearance requirements were quite strict. As a result, all the people recruited were handsome men and beauties with high education. They worked together every day and got along day and night. It was inevitable …”

Chang Le nodded: "Sister Zeng is right. Internal love will affect work efficiency to a certain extent and lead to some problems."

"Xiaolan, please follow Mr. Zeng's advice and send an internal notice to remind you in advance. If the negotiation has been completed and there is a relationship, it will be temporarily shelved as a special case. You can't blame them for this. We didn't have this rule before."

Zeng Xi said: "Boss, you are very considerate. Before the notice was issued, it was a special case. When the company has a new subsidiary, we will arrange for transfers. After the notice is issued, if there is any such phenomenon, we will be dismissed."

Xu Xiaolan: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Chang Le asked Zeng Xi again: "Do you have any other opinions?"

Zeng Xi asked: "Will the move be completed within this week?"

Chang Le said: "Then the move will be completed this week. The space in this place is too narrow and the view is not wide. It is completely inconsistent with Leda's image of a wealthy investor."

"Ha ha……"

After Xu Xiaolan left, Zeng Xi told Chang Le about another thing.

"Boss, tomorrow, the two giants Wolfgang and Wendelin will come to our company to discuss shares."

"Oh? When exactly will it arrive?"

"I'll probably arrive in Jiangzhou tomorrow afternoon. Will you come forward?"

"Me?" Chang Le shook his head: "I can't handle these two senior foxes who are industry leaders. Sister Zeng, you still have to take action in this regard."

"Okay, but boss, please tell me everything first. Last year, you made this arrangement in advance, but the whole company didn't understand it. What is your set goal now?" Zeng Xi asked again

"Established goal? No, it's as much as you can knock." Chang Le spread his hands.

"No way, boss, you're spending billions of dollars on planning without even setting goals?" Zeng Xi was helpless.

"At the beginning of the year, I really just wanted to take one step at a time, but I never thought of going so far. I always felt that I would be sorry if I didn't take advantage of the loopholes when I had enough funds." Chang Le said:

"The situation is now relatively clear, and some ideas can be clarified."

Chang Le continued: "Sister Zeng, I guess the other party definitely wants to use cash transactions. But you can reject it directly. Spending billions of dollars and waiting for more than half a year just to earn some interest is worthless..."

Zeng Xi nodded: "As far as the other company is concerned, we can boldly consider it from the perspective of brand, technology, etc."

"As a luxury brand with a history of nearly a century, the exploration and accumulation of technology must be unimaginable, and there must be many good things."

"Some time ago, I asked Zhao Zhiwei from the investment department to do some research in advance and collect some information. I did get a lot of useful information."

"Moreover, boss, we can think more divergently. Once we reach a deal with Porsche, the other party will achieve absolute control, and the sub-brands it controls can also make a fuss."

Chang Le nodded: "If we can do this, of course it would be better."

Zeng Xi said: "I will try my best."
