Chapter 212

"You spent a year to oust me from Fusheng, but in the end you couldn't win a Fusheng in 10 years. It seems that I have always overestimated your ability." Ron's voice was calm and raised There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.

Lin Wei looked at the fallen leaves at her feet and said, "I don't dare to take credit. Mrs. Eaton and Freeman made a lot of efforts when you left Fusheng. Maybe they are the biggest contributors, otherwise it should be me you hate now." , It shouldn't be them..." She raised her head and smiled, "I understand you, it's really uncomfortable to be betrayed, so you haven't been able to let it go after so many years."

Ron paused with a look in his eyes . The angry emotions flowed away, and then he said: "What about you, what about your grandmother's last wish? You have a prosperous career, but you seem to have forgotten your original intention and only remember to pursue fame and fortune."

Lin Wei heard Yan's eyes dimmed for a moment, and after a while, he said: "I can understand why she wants to annex Fusheng."

At that time, the People's Republic of China had not yet been founded, and Fusheng was plundering property in the country, and together with HSBC, controlled China's Economic lifeline, she wanted to dig out the cancer that Fu Sheng had attached to the country. This was her grandmother's plan at the time.

She raised her head and looked at the European-style buildings in the distance: "She has her considerations, and I have my concerns. Taking Fusheng was her best choice at that time, but it is not my best choice now."

Xiangjiang There is a lack of industry and shipbuilding technology in the country. The legacy she wants to inherit now should be... Harland.

Bang...

Ron suddenly threw out all the birdseed.

He looked at Lin Wei: "You mean you want to break the contract?"

Lin Wei gently stepped on the dead leaves under her feet and said slowly: "I have not made any agreement with you. I think you may have misunderstood, but It's an ordinary business transaction. Did I promise you that I would deal with Fu Sheng? It's all just your self-righteous thoughts."

Ron's face darkened. He took a deep breath and looked at Lin Wei and snorted. : "I did make a mistake. I forgot your nature as a businessman and thought you were a bloody person. I didn't expect you were just greedy for immediate benefits."

Lin Wei stared at the pigeons snatching food in front of her and said calmly. "Have you forgotten that you almost killed me?"

The two children ran to the small square and chased each other. With a "hoorah", the pigeons scattered and fled.

Her eyes were chasing the pigeons flying away, and her expression was very light and indifferent: "If I had been less lucky, I would have died in the cannery... Mr. Ron, if I were bloody, I would be the first person to kill. It's you!"

Ron's face changed after hearing this, and after a while, he said: "Do you think it's that easy for Harland? Maybe we did have some dissatisfaction before, mainly because of our differences in status, but Now I am reminding you very seriously, if you covet Harland and get angry, the end result will only be blood and marrow."

Lin Wei lowered her eyes lightly and fell silent.

...

"We can make some concessions and lower the acquisition price to 1 billion pounds, but we need you to invest 500 million pounds in R&D funds for Haaland at one time, and ensure that your annual investment in R&D will not be less than 300 million pounds in the future." , This is for the sake of Harland's future development, to ensure that we can be at the world's leading level technically."

After the man finished speaking, he glanced at Giles opposite, and saw that the other party did not leave the table like last time. Relaxed, he continued: "Harland must have independent control. The management headed by Borders is still the person in charge of the shipyard. People from Xinbai Shipyard are not allowed to interfere in the company's operations and sales. As for the original plan, We can refund 30% of the income..."

"If you really want to withdraw, you probably can't say this," Giles interrupted, "The translation of what you just said is, although we spent a huge amount of money, We have to pay the money to buy the shipyard, but the shipyard does not belong to us. We can't control anything. We just have to pay the money. We can't have any objections, we can't audit the accounts, and we can't interfere in the shipyard's affairs. Am I right about

this time they are negotiating ? There were not many people, and they came directly to the shipyard. No one knew how many rounds of negotiations were needed. They went to the Capitol every time, and the momentum was too great.

After hearing what Giles said, Borders said: "This is because we suspect that you are here for technology and do not really want to help Haaland. Only in this way can this situation be prevented."

After finishing speaking, He looked at Lin Wei across from him. Lin Wei had been silent the whole time. It was the same as last time. At this moment, she was holding a connecting piece in her hand, fiddling with it gently on the table, occasionally making a rubbing sound. There is almost no sense of presence.

Giles smiled and said: "Usually there are only a few situations where people dare to make such demands, the strong versus the weak, the expert versus the layman, the liar versus the fool. Which situation do you think it is now?" "

We have the strength. ..."

"A shipyard that is about to go bankrupt, do you dare to say that you are capable?" Giles interrupted him again, "If you were professional enough, you would not be on the verge of bankruptcy. Continuing to deceive yourself will only lead to self-destruction. It's obvious that you are not sincere. The only explanation is that you are liars and want to make a lot of money. You are not doing it for the shipyard by offering such conditions. "

Giles today is completely aggressive. Suppressive posture.

The other party sneered: "You are talking about yourselves. If it is not to defraud Harland's technology, why don't you agree to our conditions?"

Giles looked at him, looking like he was crazy: "Excuse me, why do we want to Did you acquire Harland to find a Bodhisattva for yourself? Ah... you may not know what Bodhisattva means. Let's just say that for no reason, would you find a father for yourself? "

Pfft...

Some people couldn't help laughing.

Especially from Lin Wei's side, the conference room was filled with mocking laughter.

The face on the other side darkened and he said decisively: "You have no sincerity at all, so there is no need to proceed with this acquisition."

Giles smiled and said: "When doing charity, you will think about whether it will gain a good reputation. "You are so greedy that we really can't continue the negotiation, so let's stop talking. We will go back to Xiangjiang tomorrow."

Borders and the negotiators were choked, and their faces were livid.

Okay... I don’t know if the second negotiation lasted more than 10 minutes. Again, there was ineffective communication. Apart from attacking each other, there was no progress.

Borders looked at Lin Wei unbearably: "Is this what you mean?"

Lin Wei reacted, put down the gadget in his hand, and said: "...Forget it, if you don't want to buy it, you won't buy it. There is no forced buying or selling. That’s right, let’s do this, so as not to keep arguing and make me upset.”

After she said this, everyone else stood up.

Hey guys, which negotiation is like this?

Lin Wei was writing letters one after another. What happened now that she gave up so quickly?

Lin Wei was halfway up when she suddenly said "ah" and said, "I almost forgot, I can't come here in vain. If it's convenient, we can talk about a business."

Ten minutes later, Lin Wei and Borders went A small office.

"What do you want to say?" Borders asked directly.

He didn't think Lin Wei wanted to discuss business. She must have something to say in private.

Lin Wei put the adapter in her hand on the table and looked up at Borders, "I just want to come to your place to buy some goods." She then grabbed a handful of parts from her pocket, "These models, rivets, screws, Adapters cost two tons each."

Borders frowned, picked up the parts on the table, looked at them one by one, looked at Lin Wei in surprise, and said, "Are you kidding me

? The prices of the accessories are not low. Each one costs a few pounds. She wants two tons. How much does that cost?

This is their patented technology, which is very expensive and is one of their main revenue sources.

"I'm not kidding, don't you want to sell?" Lin Wei looked at him and said, "I don't want to go back empty-handed when I come here. After all, I still have a shipyard in Xiangjiang, but I want ready goods."

"You really just want to do it . Business?" Borders asked.

Lin Wei observed the expression on his face, and then said: "I can pay immediately and pick up the goods on site."

"Are you sure?" Borders looked at her, "That will cost about more than 2 million pounds."

About 20 million Hong Kong dollars, This is a large order, and with this money, the crew members' wages can be considered settled.

"What?" Lin Wei asked, "You don't want to sell? If the cooperation can't be negotiated, you won't even do business?"

Borders looked at her for a while, then picked up the phone and called the production manager.

Listening to the voice on the phone, he frowned unconsciously: "Didn't the production task be completed last month? How come I don't know when it was shipped out of the warehouse?" After speaking, his voice unconsciously increased. Elevate.

Lin Wei raised her eyebrows.

Borders subconsciously looked at Lin Wei, and met her teasing smile.

He slowly put down the phone and looked at Lin Wei.

Lin Wei attached her fingers to the pile of parts and said with a smile: "Why should I acquire Harland? Of course it is not for charity. Harland has 127 patents, a high-end spare parts system, and shipbuilding technology for giant cruise ships. , these are what I like. There is nothing to avoid. It doesn’t matter if you want it, but you can’t be too ugly as a person. You want both. Money is the price I have to pay. What can you bring to me? "What?"

Borders looked at her and said, "We won't hand over the technology to you."

"Of course," Lin Wei nodded, and then said, "I have five listed companies, one every year." At least it can bring me hundreds of millions of profits. What about Harland? I gave you money, what can you promise me? If you can guarantee your profitability, then I will naturally be willing to be a hands-off shopkeeper and just wait to receive the money. So tell me, how much profit can Harland bring to me every year?"

Balders paused and said, "When the business situation improves..."

"When?" Lin Wei asked, " One year, two years or three years? Can it be written in the contract, and what is the input-to-output ratio? "

The starting point is 1 billion pounds, 500 million pounds of R&D expenses. How many more listings can she buy in Hong Kong with this money? Company?

Borders fell silent.

Lin Wei continued: "You should know that no one is bidding with me now, and you also know what the reality is like. How many shipyards in Asia have closed down, Japan has begun large-scale restructuring, and the number of employees has been reduced by one-third. What does Harland rely on to persevere and be proud?"

Borders took a deep breath and looked at Lin Wei: "What do you mean now?"

Lin Wei raised his hand to pick up the parts on the table and said, "I just need it. In a normal negotiation, I will make concessions as much as Haaland is worth, how much I pay, and how much profit you can bring me. You don’t need me to teach you how to do business."

She stood up and said, "If you have any concerns. It's normal, talk slowly, there is plenty of time, write it down one by one in the contract, everyone's obligations and everyone's rights must be clearly written, no one has to suffer, and no one has to take advantage, you want What, what I want, just tell me clearly, everyone can get what they want, why do you do so many tricks, who do you think you are?"

She turned around and left Borders' office.

Leaving Borders alone reflected Lin Wei's disparaging remarks just now.

The negotiation was a very long process. During this period, Lin Wei submitted an application for further study at Cambridge University, choosing engineering technology.

When she announced the news, the family was shocked.

"You are 26 years old and you still want to go to school?" Yuan Yujun was stunned.

Lin Wei took a bite of the tender corn and said: "Don't say 26, even if it is 36 or 46, I have to learn it."

Otherwise, where did the miscellaneous skills on her body come from?

Mother Wu was also frightened: "You are already a member of the big boss, do you want to follow me to repair the ship?"

Lin Wei waved her hand: "That's not true, the main thing is that I need to understand some basic principles so that I can communicate with my technicians in the future. Barrier-free communication. "

She only learned some basic knowledge from the crew in her previous life, but it was not systematic at all and she was half-informed. If someone fooled her, she might not be able to detect it. She was very taboo about this in her previous life. .

She looked at Wu Ming: "What major are you going to study?"

Wu Ming heard Lin Wei ask before Wu Ming could recover from the shock.

"Me?" He looked at Lin Wei doubtfully.

Lin Wei nodded: "We dropped out of the University of Hong Kong together, and now we go to Cambridge together. This is the right opportunity. Haoxin is on the right track, and you can quit and really experience university life." Wu Ming, who was at the University of Hong Kong, was too depressed.

Wu Ming wanted to refuse, but the words he spoke were choked in his throat, and he couldn't say them out for some reason.

Lin Wei held up her chopsticks and said, "If you don't like Cambridge, you can go to Harvard, Stanford, or MIT. The main thing is to choose a good university. It's not about how good the famous teachers there are, or how good the schools are." How big it is, but because we can get to know many classmates, have ideological collisions with them, and see different worlds and scenery. "

This is what Wu Ming once said to her. Dropping out of the University of Hong Kong is not only painful for her, but also painful. Her guilt towards Wu Ming prevented him from experiencing that kind of world like he did in his previous life.

Wu Ming was silent for a few seconds, adjusted his glasses, and said casually: "Then Cambridge University."

"A Ming, are you going too?" Mother Wu was very surprised.

Wu Ming felt Song Ye's gaze, but did not look at him or say anything.

"Is Song Ye going too?" Sun Boran asked.

"He won't go. He still has a job and can't leave Hong Kong City." Lin Wei took a shrimp and gave it to Song Ye. "Besides, he has already graduated from the University of Hong Kong, so there is no need to go out to study." She and Wu Ming could It is absolutely impossible for Song Ye to give up his career and pursue an official career.

Sun Boran nodded: "It's okay, studying is a good thing. It's rare that you still have such a childish heart now."

Lin Wei looked at Song Ye who kept grabbing the chopsticks and didn't move. The young man's dark eyes lost the calmness and tranquility of the past. .

She picked up the shrimp in Song Ye's bowl and began to peel it off skillfully. The white shrimp meat popped out and was handed to Song Ye's lips.

Song Ye smiled and looked at Lin Wei steadily, his eyes as bright as snow now filled with a hint of sadness.

Seeing such a pair of eyes, Lin Wei felt some unspeakable heartache.

Song Ye quietly ate the shrimps, and then said with a smile: "I'm full, let's go upstairs first."

Lin Wei finished the rice in the bowl in several mouthfuls, and then went upstairs.

Wu's mother came over to ask her son about something, but Wu Ming grabbed a piece of ribs and blocked her mouth.

Lin Wei peered into Song Ye's bedroom, but saw no one, so she took a few steps inside.

Song Ye stood in front of the wardrobe and unbuttoned his shirt one by one, from top to bottom, with slow and slow movements of his wrists. The upper buttons of the shirt were loosened, revealing a small piece of beautiful and tight chest... He suddenly stopped He came down and turned his head as if aware, just in time to meet Lin Wei's prying eyes.

"No..." Lin Wei quickly raised her hand, "I didn't peek."

Song Ye smiled, said nothing, and continued what he was doing.

According to the past, Lin Wei should have quit.

As a result, he felt a warmth on his back, and Lin Wei suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Are you unhappy or angry?" Lin Wei hugged him gloomily. The scent of light perfume came from the other person's body, and she suddenly felt sad.

Song Ye was silent for a long time and said, "If I'm not happy, will you stay?"

"No," Lin Wei said dullly, "On the road to my ideals, I won't allow anyone to hinder my progress. The pace will never stop."

Song Ye lowered his head and smiled, and said softly, "Then why do you ask?"

"But that doesn't mean I won't feel guilty and sad," Lin Wei hugged him tightly. His waist, body temperature touching each other, cheeks and hair rubbing gently on his back, "There are not so many things that have the best of both worlds in this world, but I always want too much... I want you, I I long for you, I like you and don’t want you to be sad, but I can’t think of any good way to make you happy.”

She felt her thin body under her arms tense for a moment. , and then, the whole person was picked up in the air by a force.

Song Ye hugged her and sat on the bed, and Lin Wei turned around and sat on his lap.

Lin Wei saw that his clothes were half open, and the loose shirt exposed half of his chest underneath.

Her eyes were nowhere to be found.

"I'm not as difficult to coax as you think," Song Ye grabbed her hand and placed it on his beautiful exposed chest, "You can make me happy easily."

Lin Wei felt that the skin under her hands had an indescribable feeling . The burning sensation was very hot, but the delicate and tight skin seemed to be adsorbing her fingers, making it impossible for her to pull away.

"Wha...what?" Lin Wei heard her own voice ask dryly.

Song Ye leaned over and brushed the corner of his lips casually, rubbing the tip of his nose: "... put your desire for me into action."
