Chapter 225 Proposal to Acquire
"Yaoyao doesn't want to go, why did you agree?" Ling Xuemei looked at Ji Yanting in confusion.
Ji Yanting reached out and patted Ling Xuemei's arm gently, then cast his eyes on Ling Yao, "Yaoyao, will you blame Dad for making the decision on his own?"
Ling Yao smiled and shook her head, "I will go tomorrow." Since the He family specifically asked her to go, their purpose must be more than simple. She wanted to see what tricks the He family was going to play.
"Don't worry, Dad is here, and Dad will never let anyone bully you." Ji Yanting's tone was full of determination. He knew that his daughter was smart, but this world was often full of dangers and challenges. As a father, he was willing to do his best to protect his daughter from any harm.
On the other side, He Xueli hung up the phone and looked respectfully at a foreigner sitting next to him, "Mr. Smith, I have invited the person you want to meet. She will go to the banquet tomorrow." This time, Mr. Smith came for Longteng Pharmaceutical.
That day, he attended the wedding banquet of Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun, and was surprised to learn that Ling Yao was the boss behind Longteng Pharmaceutical. After that, he called Mr. Smith to tell him about it. He knew that Mr. Smith had always intended to acquire Longteng Pharmaceutical.
"Very good!" Smith nodded with satisfaction. Last time he went to talk to Zhao Kun about acquiring Longteng Pharmaceutical, but Zhao Kun rejected it outright. Now he knows that Zhao Kun is not the person in charge of Longteng Pharmaceutical, and the real person in charge is actually a 20-year-old girl. Compared with Zhao Kun, Ling Yao should be easier to deal with.
The next day, Ling Yao followed his parents to the graduation banquet held by the He family.
When they arrived at the hotel, He Xueli had been standing there waiting for a long time.
As soon as he saw Ji Yanting's family of three, He Xueli immediately came up to them with a big smile on his face: "Brother Ji! Welcome, welcome! Please come in! This must be your daughter, right? Oh my, she is so generous and beautiful, no wonder Young Master Lu fell in love with her, hahaha..."
As He Xueli spoke, he personally led Ji Yanting and the other two into the banquet hall and arranged them in the main seats.
Ling Yao sat down slowly, her eyes inadvertently swept across the seat next to her, and she was surprised to find that there was a blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner sitting there.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and a trace of doubt surged in her heart. The face of this foreigner was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
After thinking about it carefully, Ling Yao remembered that he had seen this person in the financial news in his previous life. According to reports, most of the state-
owned enterprises in the country were acquired by him. These so-called Sino-foreign joint ventures sounded glamorous on the surface, but in fact, they gradually disappeared soon after being acquired. In their place, some products from abroad took their place.
Some companies that did not want to be acquired, such as Lotus MSG, were attacked by malicious rumors, claiming that consuming the product would cause cancer. Although Lotus MSG has been trying hard to hold on, its sales have dropped sharply and it has fallen into trouble.
Seeing Ling Yao looking at him, Smith smiled like a gentleman, "Hello! Beautiful lady, I am Smith, nice to meet you."
Ling Yao smiled back politely, "Hello!" She didn't want to talk to Smith any more.
He Xueli took the opportunity to introduce Ling Yao, "Miss Ling Yao, this is Mr. Smith, he is a foreign investor, specializing in investing in some domestic enterprises, so that they can go international and become world-renowned brands."
Ling Yao immediately understood what He Xueli meant. Zhao Kun told her that day that a foreign businessman called him and wanted to acquire Longteng Pharmaceuticals, but he refused. If she guessed correctly, the foreign investor should be the Smith in front of her.
It seems that He Xueli invited her to the banquet this time for this purpose. But they were destined to be disappointed. Not only would she not let Longteng Pharmaceutical be acquired by Smith, she would also invest in some domestic companies to make them stronger and avoid the fate of being acquired.
Smith took out a business card and handed it to Ling Yao, "Ms. Ling Yao, I heard that you are the boss of Longteng Pharmaceuticals. I wonder if I have the honor to cooperate with you? In fact, I have learned about your golden wine. The effect is indeed very good, but it is not well-known enough. So if Ling Yao is willing, I can invest 100 million to acquire your Longteng Pharmaceuticals."
Ling Yao smiled faintly, "Sorry! We at Longteng Pharmaceuticals do not accept acquisitions."
"Ms. Ling Yao, don't rush to refuse. It will definitely be beneficial for you to cooperate with me. Now Longteng Pharmaceuticals is only well-known in China, but it will be different after I acquire it. It can go international and to the whole world. Isn't this what Miss Ling Yao expects? And one hundred million US dollars is not a small amount. Miss Ling Yao should think about it carefully."
"Thank you Mr. Smith for your kindness. I won't consider it. I believe that within a year, my Longteng Pharmaceuticals will also be able to go abroad and to the world." Ling Yao said confidently. She had already made plans, and now it was just a matter of time.
"Ms. Ling Yao, are you too confident? Without the EU certification, your products can only be sold by yourself and never go abroad." Smith's tone was threatening. "
Then Mr. Smith, don't worry about it." Ling Yao picked up the red wine glass on the table and raised it to Smith with a smile.
Smith smiled coldly, "Then I will wait and see. I hope Miss Ling Yao will not let me down." He will definitely get what he wants, and if he doesn't get it, he will destroy it directly.
"Of course not." Ling Yao elegantly picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine. Her bright eyes flashed with a firm light, as if she had already seen through Smith's tricks.
She knew very well that Smith was a man who spread some false news in newspapers in an attempt to discredit Longteng Pharmaceuticals. In addition, he would hire some people to cause trouble at the door of Longteng Pharmaceuticals to create chaos and adverse effects. Smith
was secretly angry. He picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it all, and then put the wine glass heavily on the table. "I hope you don't regret it!" After saying this, he stood up and walked towards the door. He must make Longteng Pharmaceuticals pay the price. Since soft methods don't work, he can only use hard methods.
He will use the power of public opinion to create huge pressure on Longteng Pharmaceuticals. He believed that as long as he pushed Longteng Pharmaceutical into a desperate situation, he could easily acquire the company by proposing a takeover bid. Although this might greatly reduce the market value of Longteng Pharmaceutical, it was still better than getting nothing.
Thinking of this, a smug smile flashed across Smith's face.
