When Chen Shuqin returned to West Garden, Chen Xia was supporting Gu Lin and walking carefully in the garden.
"Come on, you two idiots, why do you have to be so cheesy? She's only two months pregnant, why are you acting like she's eight months pregnant?"
"Hey, aunt, you don't understand. We are doing prenatal education. Mom and dad always loving each other can set a good example for the baby and is conducive to their future character development."
Chen Shuqin rolled her eyes. Prenatal education for a two-month-old baby? Others say a woman in love has zero IQ, but in her opinion, the IQ of this silly couple is simply negative.
Especially Gu Lin, who is now a "national treasure" animal. Holding the baby to command the whole family is her favorite thing to do now.
No matter whether you are the dean or the section chief, you have to listen to her as the "parent" when you go home.
Now Old Man Gu no longer dares to scold her, Mother Gu no longer lets her cook, Chen Xia sticks to her as soon as she gets off work, and even her great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and grandmother in the family always keep their thoughts on her.
This exclusive favor can only be compared to her little nephew.
"By the way, Xiaoxia, Manager Bao suggested to me today that we establish a joint venture with Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory to establish a new pharmaceutical company. What do you think?"
Chen Xia stopped and said, "Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory? The one that causes trouble every month?"
Chen Shuqin sat down on a chair in the garden:
"Yes, Manager Bao offered to sell it to us, or form a joint venture. I put forward a condition: only consider a buyout, not a joint venture. Even a joint venture would have conditions, such as retired workers not being held responsible, and employees who lead the riots would be fired."
Chen Xia thought this was a good opportunity. Although Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory was not profitable, its location was in the center of Yuezhou city.
Yuezhou's economy later became quite developed, ranking fourth in terms of economic output in Zhijiang Province, but its per capita income ranked third in the province and 11th in the country, so this place has great development potential.
Rich areas have a characteristic: the emergence of top-tier properties frequently leads to the hottest real estate speculation. What's the most valuable asset then? Either the house or the land.
Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory covers a very large area, stretching from Jiefang Road in the city center in the east to the Ring River in the west. The factory area is a total of 260,000 square meters, which is almost 400 acres of land.
If this kind of land within the first ring is stored, it will be auctioned for billions of dollars in a few decades. Moreover, it will be easy to cash in the land in the future, unlike jadeite, which requires waiting for an opportunity to sell.
Now that Chen Xia was a father of triplets, he had to leave something behind for his children. If they didn't turn out well, the rent from the house and land would be enough to provide for a lifetime of comfort.
As a reborn person, Chen Xia knew very well how much domestic housing prices would rise in a few decades, and this deal would definitely make a lot of money.
"Auntie, I think we can discuss the acquisition of Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory, but we absolutely require sole ownership, not a joint venture. Public-private partnerships will cause a lot of trouble in the future. If the acquisition fails, I would rather spend more money to build an independent factory, or even not build a factory in Yuezhou at all.
In addition, the requests you raised are very good. Those retired workers have never created a penny of profit for Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, so their pension and medical expenses should not be borne by us. We have no such obligation.
Of course, we can raise the purchase price. Although we may suffer a loss for now, the land for this factory will be very valuable in the future. Look, a 400-acre factory site in the heart of the city is very rare."
For Hong Kong people whose main business is real estate speculation, they understand it immediately.
If Chen Shuqin was a little confused just now, now she completely understood Chen Xia's intention.
Yes, although the inland areas are still very poor for now, the economy will surely take off in the future as society develops. By then, the land in the city center will definitely be a scarce resource and become very valuable.
This conversation made the aunt and nephew determined to acquire Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory.
Anyway, the initiative is now in the hands of the Chen family. The Yuezhou region is eager to get rid of the burden, and they are the ones who are anxious. Let's talk slowly.
The Chen family’s bottom line is to ensure the safety of their investment, for fear of any unexpected problems. If this is not possible, they would rather open a factory in Hong Kong.
As a result, regional commissioner Han Dingze personally participated in the third round of negotiations because he was really worried about Bao Yong. He felt that Bao Yong was too bold and would agree to any conditions. If a dispute arose, it would have international implications.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Chen Shuqin went straight to the point.
"Commissioner Han, Manager Bao, we discussed this yesterday. We're willing to fully acquire the Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory, but we're not planning on using it as a joint venture."
When Commissioner Han heard this, his heart skipped a beat. This really entered the deep waters of reform. They even dared to sell state-owned factories. He wondered if the superiors would tear him and Li Bingquan to pieces when they found out.
"Manager Chen, are you saying you're acquiring Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory?"
"Yes, this is non-negotiable. If that's not possible, our company would prefer to build an independent factory, or choose to build it in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone."
Commissioner Han swallowed and said, "If you acquire Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory, what will happen to all the retired workers and current employees?"
"I discussed this with Manager Bao yesterday. Retiring workers isn't our obligation. We can only guarantee the retention of the vast majority of workers, but we reserve the right to fire unqualified or insubordinate workers."
"Is this…"
"To express our sincerity in cooperation, we are willing to invest HK$20 million to acquire Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory."
Boom! The venue exploded immediately, and everyone was excited. 20 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire a pharmaceutical factory with no business, no vitality, and even not much equipment was a sky-high price.
20 million Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to 2.5 million US dollars, but everyone knows that the country's foreign exchange reserves in 1984 were only a few billion US dollars. It can be said that the demand for foreign exchange has reached an urgent level.
Bao Yong felt that if he could make the final decision, he would immediately agree to the Hong Kong merchants and get so much foreign exchange, which would be a definite political achievement. So he secretly looked at Commissioner Han beside him.
Han Dingze also felt a little dizzy, and a voice in his heart was shouting: "Promise her, promise her!"
But as a leader, he still had reason. He suppressed his inner excitement and replied calmly:
"Manager Chen, I think we need to go back and study this issue. We will let you know the results as soon as we have them."
Chen Shuqin nodded. "That's as it should be. Investing in the mainland is how I, as an overseas expatriate from Yuezhou, want to give back to my hometown. I hope Commissioner Han can give me a response as soon as possible. If that's not possible, our delegation will rush to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone to investigate the investment environment."
The meaning is very clear. Don't delay. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Now you are begging us, not us begging you.
