Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Lin Ruixue stepped forward gracefully, smiled and nodded to Song Yong: "Hello, Director Song."

"Hello, it's an honor." Song Yong's face was full of smiles. He reached out to shake the slender hands to show his friendliness, but he didn't expect Zhou Qi to cleverly dissolve this courtesy contact into nothingness.

This unspoken rejection made Song Yong quite dissatisfied, but he still maintained his composure on the surface. After all, the occasion did not allow him to show too much emotion.

Everyone took their seats immediately, and the conversation gradually turned to the main topic, which was the acquisition of the cotton mill.

However, Song Yong did not seem to be in a hurry to discuss the topic in depth. Instead, he talked incessantly about the importance of the cotton mill in the local area and its impact on the local economy.

"As one of the leading enterprises in the county, any future plans for the cotton mill must be carefully considered. This not only affects the survival of the enterprise, but also affects the economic development pattern of the entire region."

There was a condescending attitude in his words, which made people feel that he had a rather contemptuous view of this small county town.

Facing Song Yong's official tone and implicit meaning, Zhou Qi calmly expressed his position: "After years of hard work, Pinliang Shop has established a good reputation nationwide and achieved steady growth.

Although it is a challenge for us to enter a new field, we are confident that we can successfully transform and inject new vitality into the cotton mill.”

But Song Yong was obviously not easily convinced. "Although I know something about your company, a major acquisition like this requires more detailed consideration. In addition to verbal promises, it also requires a specific development plan and the support of relevant qualification certification materials."

He said with some persistence, "The process of transitioning from state-owned to private enterprises is complicated and long, and every step needs to be strictly carried out in accordance with regulations."

After hearing this, Zhou ** knew that this negotiation was much more difficult than he had imagined. It seemed that there was still a lot of work to be done in order to successfully complete the acquisition plan.

At this moment, Director Song always seems to be able to find an angle that makes people laugh and cry.

He described the plight of the cotton mill as a pile of unwanted old goods, which would become part of the scrap heap unless someone was willing to take it over.

In short, with enough money and clear intent, the deal should have been a done deal.

But the reality is full of official rhetoric and posturing, as if everyone plays an indispensable role in this drama. The purpose is obvious: everyone wants a piece of the pie.

Just when the atmosphere was a little tense, Zhang Wenhui cleverly broke the silence: "Director Song is right. This matter really cannot be rushed."

Then he suggested, "Since it's lunch time now, and it's rare for Director Song to come, why don't I host you all and let you guys enjoy the meal while we chat? We can talk about the acquisition after dinner."

Indeed, in such occasions, the office often becomes a temporary resting station, and the place where real business is discussed is at the dining table.

It is not difficult to see from Song Yong's words that continuing the argument will not lead to any progress.

Zhou Qi had no good impression of Director Song, but out of courtesy, and since Sun Zhihua was also present, he had to nod and agree.

The group moved to the private room of Shengyue Hotel, and Song Yong naturally sat in the seat of the guest of honor.

Throughout the process, Sun Zhihua and Zhang Wenhui were very attentive, and Song Yong was used to it. As the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, although his position was not the highest, his influence at the local level could not be underestimated.

Whenever he visited an enterprise, both the factory director and the deputy director had to greet him with a smile, for fear of offending this big shot by accident.

Even though the cotton mill was facing closure, as long as it remained under the jurisdiction of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Economic and Trade Commission, Sun Zhihua and Zhang Wenhui had to maintain a respectful attitude.

After three rounds of drinks, Zhang Wenhui finally found an opportunity to speak: "Director Song, Pinliang Shop has shown great sincerity in this acquisition. I believe that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will also provide corresponding support. After all, our common goal is to create a better future for the cotton mill."

After saying that, he toasted with a glass of wine.

Later, Sun Zhihua added: "I have heard of Mr. Zhou for a long time. The cotton mill has previously cooperated with Pinliang to participate in agricultural assistance projects, which proves its sense of social responsibility. Therefore, I hope Director Song can provide more help to facilitate this cooperation."

At this time, Zhou Qi also raised the wine glass in his hand, ready to join the conversation.

Song Yong chuckled, and gently stroked the edge of the wine glass with his fingers, but did not raise the glass. He said leisurely: "Regarding the corporate culture of Pinliang Shop, I still need to learn more about it. As for sincerity... Mr. Zhou, you seem to be a little less than candid."

After these words came out, Zhang Wenhui and Sun Zhihua's expressions changed slightly, and they speculated secretly in their hearts. Some words should be kept to a minimum, and being so straightforward is a bit too explicit.

Zhou Qi smiled and picked up his glass, half-jokingly responding, "Director Song, do you think I drink too slowly? This glass is for you, drink it."

Then he drank it all in one gulp and gestured to Song Yong.

Song Yong took a sip of wine, a hint of subtle sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then said:

"Mr. Zhou's drinking capacity is really admirable. It can be seen that you are a straightforward person. Since you are a straightforward person, you should do straightforward things. The estimated value of the cotton mill is 5 million, plus employee compensation and other miscellaneous expenses, the total price is about 5.3 million.

However, what is Pinliang Shop’s interest in this project? Of course, this is just a preliminary offer, and the specific details still need to be discussed.”

After that, he slowly pushed the bottle on the table towards Lin Ruixue, and his eyes shifted over. The original price of four million suddenly increased to five million and three hundred thousand, and the meaning was self-evident.

As smart as Lin Ruixue was, she immediately understood the other party's intention. She picked up the water cup in front of her and said politely, "Director Song, I can't drink much, so I can only offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. Please take care of the acquisition."

Then she drank the entire glass of water in one gulp.

"Oh, that's not nice enough." Song Yong had a meaningful smile on his face. "There are no people who can't drink, only people who don't want to or don't want to drink. For such a big project, I hope Pinliang Shop can come up with a detailed and feasible plan.

As Deputy Director Zhang said, all this is for a better future for the cotton mill. But if certain steps can be handled more appropriately, the whole process will be smoother. "

What this means is that if you want to lower the acquisition cost, it is not impossible, but you will have to pay a corresponding price.

The first step is to establish a tacit understanding through drinking, and the following requirements are even more obscure and self-evident.

His eyes lingered on Lin Ruixue, his greed was evident in his words. In his opinion, as long as he was willing to help, he would naturally have a share of the more than one million saved.

Besides that, there are some extra 'benefits', and such conditions are simply impossible to refuse.
