Chapter 150: Fishing? Director, there might be some fish. Should we fish...
Chapter 150 Fishing?
Yan Jiuru would definitely not let off easily against a bad guest who obviously had bad intentions.
"Captain Guo comes back and asks him to come to my place."
Captain Guo went to look for one of his former superiors.
The other party is an expert in investigation. After retiring from the army, he entered the Public Security University in Yancheng to make use of his remaining energy.
Lao Guo wanted the other party to introduce some good helpers to the factory.
Their Feiying Factory is now thriving and is affiliated with the 107th Institute. According to policy, it can also accommodate veterans.
After all, the candidates they recruited from society were few, while the selection directly from soldiers preparing to retire from the army was wider. Moreover, their factory could arrange for Yancheng household registration, and those who did not have housing could be provided with dormitories, and could even be provided with housing in the future.
This treatment is considered quite good in Yancheng.
The only drawback is that it is a bit far from the city. Those who own houses in the city may find it inconvenient to commute to get off work, but this problem does not exist for those who live in the dormitory.
Captain Guo spoke well of the old leader.
The old leader said cheerfully, "Xiao Guo, you're working so hard. Are you really optimistic about this factory, or about your factory director?"
"Everyone's optimistic. Really, old leader! Our factory director, despite his youth, is truly exceptional!" He gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "You've never met him, otherwise you'd definitely look down on someone like me."
"Oh? So powerful?" The old leader raised his eyebrows.
Captain Guo nodded, "Really."
He leaned close to the old leader and muttered in a voice heard only by the two of them, "The Xishan base has a very good relationship with our factory director, and they're often borrowed there for that..."
He squinted his eyes and said, "Those who understand will understand."
"Oh——" the old leader understood.
This is someone with a special mission.
That must be supported.
"Okay, it just so happens that my discharge this fall has been delayed by a month. I'll ask my old comrades back at the army if they have a few suitable ones left for you guys. By the way, how many people do you want?"
Captain Guo was so pleased that his teeth were not visible. He said hurriedly, "Our factory is planning to expand. Ten people are not too few, and fifteen is not too many. Anyway, as long as the skills are strong and the character is good, we will accept them."
***
The old leader thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have a good candidate right now. I wonder if you would accept him?"
"What? Is there any problem?" Captain Guo recognized the voice.
The old commander said disapprovingly, "There was a small-scale conflict on the battlefield in the south a while ago. The soldiers of the reconnaissance company captured several prisoners disguised as villagers. During the escort, the prisoners turned on each other and were shot dead by the company commander."
In the front-line troops, such special situations are not a big problem, except when someone keeps holding on to them.
Humph, some people talk as simple as farts when they are in the rear, but they don’t know that life and death are just a matter of moments on the front line. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to themselves and their comrades.
What's wrong with killing a few prisoners?
Are prisoners no longer enemies?
The strategy of pretending to surrender is not only used by us, the enemy also uses it. Those who deserve to be killed must be killed. Aren’t the lives of our soldiers more precious than those of prisoners?
Captain Guo, who had also fought on the front lines, was furious. He slammed the table with his eyes wide open and said, "Fuck! Shouldn't this be a commendation?"
The old commander waved his hand, "What are you arguing about? It's not that serious. He's seriously injured, and even after recovering, he won't be able to go to the battlefield. He might as well take this opportunity to retire and find a good job."
However, his military merit was still evaluated low, so he could only go back to the local county public security bureau or armed forces department.
For a child from the countryside, what's better than getting a Yancheng household registration?
Captain Guo found this kind of comrade particularly appealing and immediately said, "Please contact him quickly. Is he in the army or somewhere else?"
"He's at the Yancheng Military District Hospital. He'll be discharged in the next two days."
***
Captain Guo returned to the factory with great joy. When he heard that the factory director was looking for him, he hurried to the director's office.
On the way here, Shen Guoshan told him what happened in the morning.
Captain Guo looked very unhappy. He had only been out for an hour or so, and such a big thing happened in the factory.
"Sit down. Why do you look so grumpy? Are things not going well?" Yan Jiuru still had the mood to joke.
Captain Guo snorted, "So angry. I heard what Old Shen said. If I were in the factory, I'd grab those two idiots by the collar and throw them out on the street."
Yan Jiuru said indifferently: "Tell me, what did you gain from this trip?"
Captain Guo immediately became alert. He hurriedly reported the old leader's promise to select people from the veterans in the autumn, and at the end he mentioned the person the old leader introduced later.
"His name is Zhang Dachun. He's an eight-year veteran and a real reconnaissance company commander on the front lines. He's much better than me."
Yan Jiuru was also quite interested when he heard that the person was about to be discharged from the military hospital.
"You can go buy some fruit, canned goods, etc., and if you think the person is okay, you can see what he thinks. You can also bring him to the factory for him to take a look. If he thinks he's okay, then we'll hire him. If he's not, that's fine too."
After all, although their factory pays well, except for the Yancheng household registration and housing, other aspects are still not as good as those of the formal state-owned institutions.
Nowadays, people have a higher recognition of public institutions than enterprises.
After saying this, Yan Jiuru explained: "Among the two people who came today, the woman is the one named Liang Yan whom I asked you to investigate.
Once you finish your work, hurry up and investigate these two individuals and the activities of the Haisda Company."
"Okay, Director!"
***
After get off work in the evening, Yan Jiuru still works overtime in the factory.
Seeing that it was almost time, he picked up the phone and called Michael.
"Hey, Yan, you're here really early."
Since Michael, a wealthy second-generation man, started to be the agent of Yan Jiuru's products, he seemed to have found his life goal. He suddenly became diligent and came to the store every day.
Of course, it's only around ten o'clock in the morning. The rest of the time, I'm either not getting up or hanging out in clubs or parties.
After all, he is the second generation of the rich. Making money is just a small interest of his and will never be his life goal. It is impossible to expect him to take care of the business in the store every day.
"It's not that early, but luckily you're in the store. I have something to talk to you about."
Even though the two people are not from the same country, they can do business together because they can reach an agreement with each other, otherwise Yan Jiuru would not give the agency rights to a young boy like him.
Yan Jiuru mainly asked him about what kind of company Haisda Ten was, and what the situation was in the United States when the other party wanted to buy Feiying.
His previous experience as a demon lord did not include running a business, but rather crushing others with magical power. This was the first time he had encountered such an experience in his life, and the opponent's malicious intent was obvious, forcing him to think a few more steps.
***
Michael had never heard of this top 50 company, Hesda, but he said it might be because he had never paid attention to it before. He promised to find out about the situation and the hostile takeover he mentioned.
As someone who has just started a business, he may not understand, but the elders in his family must know, otherwise he would just lie down and eat and drink.
After Yan Jiuru thanked him, he asked several other agents.
At the same time, it is also a way to exchange information, so that if Haysda goes around making a fuss about acquisitions or something, it would be bad if the agents are not aware of the situation and are misled.
Yan Jiuru made a few phone calls and first got some valuable feedback from Martin and Mr. Huang, the agent in Hong Kong.
Martin didn't know what Hesda was, but he knew a little about hostile takeovers.
Regardless of the high cost of international long-distance calls, he directly explained to Yan Jiuru what joint-stock companies and listed companies are, as well as stock markets, exchanges, etc. He also learned that stock markets in Europe and the United States have begun electronic trading, such as the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and other platforms, as well as the general trading rules of the stock market, etc.
Both of them are top students among top students. One simply introduced the rules, and the other had already understood them.
Then, Martin told him about the methods of hostile takeovers, such as secretly purchasing the other party's shares from small shareholders to achieve a controlling stake and thus control the company.
After gaining control, a major change in management is no big deal. The key point is that the other party will take the opportunity to obtain the core interests of the company, such as important assets such as land and key equipment. Another thing is the patented technology held by the company that most people ignore.
Martin knew that Yan Jiuru held several international patents. He reminded Yan Jiuru, "I don't think they're going after the factory's production line. After all, it's not worth much. It's either the land or the patented technology."
After all, it is a family that has been in business for a hundred years, and they have extraordinary knowledge.
Yan Jiuru only mentioned this matter, and Martin immediately thought of the key point.
***
Mr. Huang from Hong Kong reminded Yan Jiuru that some foreign companies that use the name of the United States or Southeast Asian countries actually set up shell companies in their own countries and then go to some emerging countries or regions to commit fraud. They specifically target small companies that are developing well but have no background, and they can maliciously acquire them even if they are not listed companies.
For example, they paid money to bribe upstream supporting factories to delay the delivery of key parts, thus affecting the delivery and causing huge compensation, and then they had to lower the price to pay the compensation.
Or they may target orders or goods. Their purpose is the same as above, which is to use various means to force you to sell your company at a low price.
Huang Sheng said: "This type of company was once notorious in Southeast Asia. Later, legitimate industrial companies united to resist it, and the Hong Kong government also introduced targeted policies to drive these people away.
Last year I heard that there was a case in Malaysia where they were carrying out malicious takeovers in the name of foreign companies.
They secretly gave high kickbacks to some members of the management, causing the company to become insolvent, and then directly mortgaged the company to the other party in the name of repaying the debt.
After acquiring the company, he sold off the company's land and core technology within six months, cashing out and leaving.
Leaving an empty shell and a bunch of unemployed workers to the government. . . . .
***
Two days later, Yan Jiuru received a reply from Michael.
He made it clear that there is no car company called Hystar in the U.S. auto industry, not even in the top 50, let alone the top 500.
There is a newly established Haisda Financial Investment Company with a registered capital of 20 million US dollars. These are all loans, which were repaid after registration, and the actual capital is only a few hundred US dollars.
However, this company made a lot of money from Asia last year, with buying and selling taking no more than half a year, and it already had more than 30 million US dollars on its books.
Needless to say, Yan Jiuru knew it must be this one.
***
Yan Jiuru spent two or three days to understand Stephen's purpose.
How hateful!
Yan Jiuru had an idea in mind, so he called Captain Guo and gave him some instructions.
Coincidentally, Captain Guo’s investigation has made progress in the past few days.
"These are the details of their activities in Yancheng over the past few months. We haven't learned about other places so quickly."
There is no Internet connection now, and there is very little surveillance. It is not easy to investigate the activities of a company or individual even if you use your connections.
Captain Guo also took out a stack of photos, which were taken by Zhang Dachun specifically after he was discharged from the hospital.
As expected of a reconnaissance company commander, the other party didn’t even notice the close-up photo.
Yan Jiuru pulled out two of the photos, one was a photo of Stephen and Liang Yan meeting with someone privately, and the other was a photo of the two of them entering a hotel together at night.
Yan Jiuru tapped the back one and asked, "Which hotel is this?"
"Yancheng Friendship Hotel!"
Yan Jiuru nodded, "Who have they met recently?"
Speaking of this, Captain Guo snorted coldly, "That woman is very proactive. She brought Stephen with her, and he's from both the municipal government and the Municipal Foreign Economic and Trade Commission. Oh, and they also met the woman who tripped us up. The photos haven't been developed yet."
"Wang Lizhen!"
Without a photo, Yan Jiuru could tell who it was, Liang Yan’s biological mother!
***
When Captain Guo asked when he would deal with these two people, Yan Jiuru smiled and said, "Wait a little longer. It's not the right time yet."
It's pointless to deal with minor issues now. If we want to take action, we have to do something big.
He patted Captain Guo on the shoulder and said, "Let Dachun follow them. You can pull out your hands and quickly pick out the people we need. The troops are almost done, right?"
Captain Guo has been very busy lately. "Well, okay, I'll tell Dachun about this. Director, if you have anything to say, just talk to Dachun directly."
Yan Jiuru receives news from Liang Yan and Stephen every day.
That day, the "special equipment" he got from Lao Wu was delivered. That night, he quietly sneaked into Stephen's residence and cast a sleeping spell. Stephen, who rarely fooled around with others, fell into a deep sleep.
Yan Jiuru put on gloves and flipped through all of Stephen's documents. In particular, when he saw the material with Feiying's name on a memorandum, as well as several other Xuanguo enterprises, he took pictures of them page by page with his camera, and then read them carefully.
Sure enough, there were two items crossed out on Feiying's materials, and two items below were marked as pending.
This record clearly shows the acquisition methods used by the other party. The ones marked with crosses are unsuccessful, and the ones pending are the methods that the other party is currently operating or will operate next!
Looking at the other companies, one was crossed out, indicating that it was temporarily abandoned, while the other two were marked with red marks, which may mean that they are almost operational.
Yan Jiuru was about to place a 'special device' in the room or somewhere in the luggage, but unexpectedly, he discovered that the other party also had a special device.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was indeed a detector!
Even if a businessman with ill intentions was planning a hostile takeover, would he carry a detector with him?!
Quite interesting!
Yan Jiuru restored the things, looked around and saw that there were no traces left at the scene. He had obtained the necessary information, so he left a little spiritual consciousness on Stephen and then left quietly.
As a foreign tourist hotel that receives foreigners, a coin-operated telephone was installed near Yancheng Friendship Hotel at the beginning of the year.
This kind of novelty is rare on the streets of Yancheng. It is said that the first batch had only about twenty of them, all of which were near the main streets and foreign-related places.
Yan Jiuru took out a coin and put it in. After the receiver was connected, he called Old Wu with a smile: "Director, there might be a fish. Should we catch it..."
