After a year of professional training, Geng Ailing has mastered the basic skills of a financial person. She likes calculations, so she helped Fan Hua calculate a relatively reasonable purchase price based on the factory area, age, machinery and equipment, etc.

Fan Hua felt that Geng Ailing was becoming more and more like a financial professional, and even her conversation was becoming more and more professional.

So he directly dragged her to participate in the acquisition negotiations with himself. After all, there has always been a place for Geng Ailing in Fan Hua's entrepreneurial plan. When the clothing factory opens in the future, the position of financial director will definitely belong to Geng Ailing!

Fan Youcheng had hired a new employee, Xiao Liu, before the summer vacation, so how could he be missing from this kind of fun? So on the day of the meeting, he handed over all the power of the photo studio to Xiao Liu and followed Fan Hua and Geng Ailing directly to the agreed location.

Several relevant leaders were sitting in the conference room, including Liu Fuyi.

After Fan Hua and the other two politely greeted the leaders, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle got straight to the point, "Comrade Fan, I'd like to hear about your acquisition plan."

Fan Hua calmly handed out the acquisition plan she had prepared in advance to several people. She then gave a detailed introduction to her plan for the garment factory, including the idea of diversified operations, product positioning, market prospects, and resettlement plans for the former textile factory workers.

She spoke clearly and sincerely, with a confident gleam in her eyes. The leaders listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and raised some questions. Fan Hua answered them all patiently and professionally.

After listening to Fan Hua's explanation, the middle-aged man said, "Comrade Fan's plan for the garment factory sounds very good. Converting the textile factory into a garment manufacturing plant is indeed a good idea. I'd like to know how much you plan to pay for the textile factory?"

Fan Hua didn't hesitate and said directly: "Forty thousand, we want to bid for the textile factory for forty thousand!"

The leader sitting in the middle frowned and said, "Forty thousand is not enough. The offer is too low. Although the textile factory is not doing well now, this piece of land and the factory building are all here. They are all our property. Even if the textile factory goes bankrupt, they can be used to build other factories in the future..."

He picked up an enamel pot beside him and took a sip of water. He said slowly, "So according to the current assessment, the total price of the factory building and the land should be around 70,000 yuan. Do you think it's acceptable?"

Geng Ailing stepped forward and responded with a smile, "Leader, we fully understand your situation. However, you also know that the textile factory's current equipment is outdated, and many of the machines are already outdated and basically cannot be put into direct production. No matter what the textile factory is used for in the future, its only value is this piece of land!"

If we were to take over, we would not only have to spend a significant amount of money on purchasing new equipment, but we would also have to renovate the factory to accommodate the needs of garment manufacturing. Furthermore, we promise to prioritize hiring former textile factory workers, which would in part help solve the government's employment problem. Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, we hope to lower the price.

Another leader frowned and said, "That being said, 70,000 yuan is already a relatively reasonable price after evaluation. If we reduce it too much, we won't be able to negotiate with the higher-ups."

Seeing this, Fan Youcheng, who was sitting nearby, quickly said, "Leader, we sincerely want to make this garment factory a success and contribute to the local economy. Since reform and opening up have just begun, people's lives are just beginning to improve, and our funds are limited. We'll have to invest a lot in equipment procurement and personnel training upfront. If the price could be more favorable, we'd have more confidence in running the factory well and saving more tax revenue for the country. So, could you offer some flexibility on the price?"

The two sides had a heated discussion on the price issue, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

At this time, Liu Fuyi stepped in to smooth things over: "Don't worry, everyone. Our goal is to make better use of this resource and provide a way out for the former textile factory workers. I think both sides can take a step back and see if we can find a suitable price."

Fan Hua thought for a moment and said decisively, "Leader, we don't want to put you in a difficult position. We can only offer 50,000 yuan at most to purchase this factory. This price is already the best we can offer. If we can reach this price, we will quickly advance the construction of the garment factory and strive to put it into production as soon as possible to create benefits."
