Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiang Huaqiang lived up to expectations and brought the latest news.
"Boss, I had someone investigate, and it turns out that Mr. and Mrs. Lin Benjian's trip back to Taiwan Province this time was not for relaxation at all."
"What happened?"
Chen Dong had limited information, only what Lin Benjian had revealed, and knew very little about Lin Benjian himself.
Xiang Huaqiang didn't keep him in suspense and revealed the information he had obtained.
It turns out that Lin Benjian came back this time to deal with his niece's clothing company.
"Boss, Lin Benjian's niece is named Huang Yali. Her parents committed suicide half a year ago because they owed huge debts, leaving Huang Yali as their only child."
"In addition, the creditors came knocking again, this time targeting the clothing company they left behind."
Chen Dong nodded upon hearing this.
The matter is not difficult to understand.
This girl named Huang Yali only has Mr. and Mrs. Lin Benjian left in the world. If they don't care, who will?
Besides, the Lin couple had no children of their own, so it was only natural for them to treat Huang Yali as their own daughter.
It seems that Huang Yali is a key figure in winning over Hayashi Benjian. If he helps Huang Yali get out of her debt crisis at this time, then getting close to Hayashi Benjian will be a natural thing.
Thinking of this, Chen Dong asked, "How much money did Huang Yali's parents owe in total before they passed away?"
Xiang Huaqiang shook his head. "Tens of millions, I don't know the exact amount, but in two days, the bank will auction off the shares of the clothing company, and the highest bidder will win."
After saying that, Xiang Huaqiang thought for a moment and added, "Boss, according to the information I have, this clothing company is doing fairly well. If Huang Yali's parents weren't a compulsive gambler, they wouldn't have mortgaged the company's shares to the bank."
After listening to Xiang Huaqiang's words, Chen Dong fell into deep thought.
He is not a person with excessive sympathy. To be precise, Chen Dong is a businessman, and businessmen have their own way of doing everything.
In other words, how much value does Lin Benjian hold in Chen Dong's eyes, and is he worth taking action against?
The answer is yes.
Lin Benjian has not yet mastered lithography technology, but that does not mean he will not in the future.
ASML, a Dutch company, is recognized as the world's leading manufacturer of lithography machines, and this technology is inextricably linked to its success.
It can be said that Lin Benjian and his team propelled ASML to become number one in the world and achieved a technological monopoly.
Until 2021, China could only manufacture 28-nanometer chips. As for more advanced 7-nanometer, 5-nanometer, and 3-nanometer chips, there is still a long way to go.
Therefore, in Chen Dong's view, Lin Benjian was someone worth paying a high price to win over and bring under his wing.
It's only a few tens of millions of NT dollars.
Chen Dong scoffed.
Let alone tens of millions of NT dollars, even tens of millions of US dollars is not a very large number.
"Help me contact this Huang Yali. I want to meet with her. As for Lin Benjian, don't take any action for now."
After considering it for a moment, Chen Dong decided to meet this woman named Huang Yali first.
He could actually speak directly with Hayashi Honma himself.
Wouldn't Lin Benjian feel that this was too abrupt? If he rejected Chen Dong's proposal, there would be no room for maneuver.
It's worth noting that Lin Benjian had only been running his business for two years and was at the peak of his career, so this possibility cannot be ruled out.
Chen Dong would not allow such a possibility to occur. He wanted to be 100% able to win Lin Benjian's favor and make him willingly join the Longteng Group to serve the group.
This is why Chen Dong appeared so cautious.
It is only by being Chinese that one can truly understand how deeply the Chinese people are obsessed with chips and lithography machines.
As the saying goes, the more unattainable something is, the more you crave it.
Chen Dong is like this, and so are most people; it's just one way of expressing human nature.
On the other side.
In an office, Huang Yali was organizing her office supplies.
Two weeks ago, she received a notice from the court that the clothing company would be auctioning off its shares in two weeks due to debt problems. In order not to affect the company's normal operation (actually, in order to get a good price), Huang Yali could carry out her work under the supervision of the bank.
This is also the fundamental reason why Mr. and Mrs. Hayashi returned to Taiwan.
The clothing company is the result of Huang Yali's family's hard work. As the saying goes, when a person dies, the debts are cleared. Can she still blame her parents for gambling and mortgaging the company's shares?
What's the point of saying all this?
The only thing left for her to remember was this clothing company.
Just then, her phone rang.
Huang Yali didn't want to accept the offer; she was still grieving, and she didn't know what the auction would be like in two days.
Her uncle, Hayashi Honma, promised to find a way to buy the clothing company, but the problem was that there were quite a few people interested in Flower Clothing Company, including large clothing companies such as Nine Wolves, Windsor, and Pink Mary.
Nobody's money grows on trees. She overheard a conversation between her uncle and aunt.
It turns out that in order to buy the clothing company at the auction, Lin Benjian had already mortgaged his shares in his American startup to the bank and borrowed $3 million from the bank.
$3 million may seem like a lot, but it's nothing to those big companies.
In addition, this money was her uncle's retirement fund, and Huang Yali didn't want him to spend it.
