Merger Plan
Qin Shi was familiar with everything about the Jian family, but Jian Qing and Lu Zhiyan were not.
Before entering the door, I heard the warm welcome from Jian Zhihui's wife, Ms. Ji Tong.
"Thank you, thank you for coming." Ms. Ji first hugged Jian Qing, then took Qin Shi's hands, and then the moment she saw Lu Zhiyan, her eyes lit up.
"Everyone is here, come in and sit down." Jian Zhihui said little as he led them to the living room of the Jian family.
Ms. Ji quietly pulled Jian Zhihui's sleeve and said, "The boy this time is very good. His height, appearance, and temperament are so attractive to me. Your daughter's taste has improved a lot."
Qin Shi pulled Jian Qing to sit down. Jian Qing was still digesting the hug.
This is how modern people express their affection, simple, direct, and a little warm.
After hearing his wife's praise, Jian Zhihui turned his gaze to Lu Zhiyan. After one look, he poured cold water on Ms. Ji: "Look carefully, Xiao Lu's eyes are following Shishi, the child. Your daughter has no hope."
Ms. Ji couldn't bear to hear others say bad things about her children. She looked at Jian Qing, and the more she looked at her, the more she admired her: "Why is my daughter dead? Look at our daughter, she has changed a lot now, and she is becoming more and more like a lady from a noble family."
Jian Zhihui was also happy in his heart: "That's right. When I was with you before, I taught you by example, and ended up with a love-brained child. Now that the child is independent, my genes have played a major role. Look how generous our child is now."
Ms. Ji: "Huh, my daughter obviously looks like me."
Jian Zhihui: "Like me."
If it were in the past, when the couple started arguing about a similar topic, Jian Qing would definitely hug Ms. Ji and keep dealing with Jian Zhihui.
"Mom is so beautiful, I just look like her!"
But now, Jian Qing just watched the two of them bickering quietly without saying a word.
Ms. Ji couldn't help feeling a little sad, as it seemed that her child had really become alienated from her.
She ran her fingers across the corners of her eyes, wiping away the nonexistent tears. Then she put on a smile to greet Jian Qing and her friends.
"Knowing you're coming, I asked the chef to make a few dishes. Come and try them to see if they suit your taste."
"Wow, there's braised pork." Qin Shi immediately saw the braised pork in the middle of the dining table.
"This is not made by a chef from outside." Jian Zhihui quickly added.
"I know, I know. This is Aunt Ji's specialty." Qin Shi said with a smile. She used to be often dragged by Jian Qing to the Jian family for meals. Ms. Ji's braised pork had distinct layers of ingredients and was the delicacy she had always been thinking about.
The dinner started harmoniously.
"Jian An didn't come?" Qin Shi asked in confusion. After all, he only saw Jian An and Jian Zhihui go to Jian Yi together during the day.
When they started talking about Jian An, the room suddenly became quiet.
"Jian An... " Ms. Ji seemed to be hesitant to speak, wanting to reveal something, but was stopped by Jian Zhihui's gaze.
As if unaware of the awkwardness in the atmosphere, Lu Zhiyan picked up a piece of braised pork, took a small bite, and immediately praised it highly: "I've heard from Jian Qing that Auntie's braised pork is delicious. Today I finally got the chance to try it. It's really delicious!"
Ms. Ji was delighted: "It's delicious, isn't it? I'm not bragging, someone offered 100,000 yuan for my recipe before, but I refused."
"You just said 50,000 yuan last time, and now you have raised the price to 100,000 yuan." Jian Zhihui joked.
Ms. Ji tapped Jian Zhihui's elbow with her chopsticks to show her protest.
Jian Qing was thinking about the group's affairs and didn't want to beat around the bush to talk about the father-daughter relationship that didn't exist in the first place, so she asked directly: "Um, Dad, why do you want to acquire Jian Yi?"
"To merge the industrial chain. As you know, Jane's was developed by heavy industry. The machines we produce are sold to more than a dozen countries. Jianyi is now gaining momentum, and expanding the production line is inevitable. If Jianyi is merged into Jane's, it will benefit both companies. Jane's provides production lines for Jianyi, and Jianyi provides work clothes for Jane's. Jane's has so many subsidiaries and tens of thousands of employees, and its annual clothing expenses are not small. After the merger, the costs of both sides will be reduced."
Although Jian Qing had read many books on economics and management, this was his first time encountering a real-world merger and acquisition. Qin Shi, on the other hand, had never experienced a group merger and acquisition before and hadn't even read as many books as Jian Qing.
"Mr. Jian, both of you ladies grew up under your watch. Some things are hard to say out of respect and trust for our elders. I just want to ask, after Jianyi is merged into Jian's, who will have the final say on Jianyi's affairs in the future?" Hearing everyone start talking about business, Lu Zhiyan began his routine inquiries.
"We are all family, so of course we will listen to whoever is right." Jian Zhihui said with a smile.
"Then can I understand that from now on, when you and Jian An feel that Qin Shi and Jian Qing's plan is not satisfactory, Jian Yi must act according to Jian's instructions?"
Jian Zhihui smiled and said, "Xiao An and I will not give Qingqing any face."
Lu Zhiyan: "I understand. You want Jianyi's decision-making power."
"Two major shareholders, do you understand? Uncle Jian wants most of Jian Yi's shares. Name your price." Lu Zhiyan said to Qin Shi and Jian Qing.
Jian Qing looked at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi shook his head.
"It hasn't been easy for Jianyi to be where it is today. For us, Jianyi isn't just an asset, it's a work of art, the product of countless days and nights of hard work," Qin Shi lamented. "Qingqing and I still have many ideas for Jianyi's development, so the Jian's board of directors won't have to worry about them." The implication was that she was unwilling to relinquish control of Jianyi's management.
"You see, girls are so sentimental. Shishi, Jian's is also your uncle's hard work. Now your uncle is handing it over to Xiao An to manage. You and your Aunt Ji can travel around the world and enjoy life. Your uncle has no regrets about letting it go. Starting a business is difficult, but the ultimate goal of starting a business is to cash in. Perhaps in the next few decades, such an opportunity will be difficult to come by."
Jian Qing understood Qin Shi's refusal and said, "When it comes to transactions, there's always a freedom of buying and selling. We're not really interested in selling right now."
"What if I exchange my shares in the Jane Group with you? Then you will be shareholders of Jane Group, and without your consent, Jane Group will have no way to interfere with Jian Yi's decision-making."
"How many shares?" Lu Zhiyan became interested when he heard about stock exchange.
You know, the dry shares of the Jane Group have always been a mysterious existence in the business world, and the annual dividends are very substantial. If it is really as Jane Zhihui said, as long as the shares are given reasonably, it is not a bad idea.
"6% of Jian's shares in exchange for your Jianyi Group, that's sincere enough, right?"
Although Jian Zhihui has been in the business world for many years, he doesn't want to use the same tricks on his children. He and his wife currently hold 60% of the shares of the Jian Group. To facilitate this transaction, the Jian Group needs to expand its shares first and then exchange these shares with the Jianyi Group. This way, Jian Zhihui and his wife's stake in the Jian Group will still exceed 50%, maintaining their position as the actual controllers of the Jian Group.
"Qingqing, you should know that the shares held by Mom and Dad will be given to you in the future. Right now, we're just treating them as retirement insurance, taking out some dividends every year." Ms. Ji also advised, "Your father's business acumen is correct. I think Xiao Lu doesn't look like an outsider. Your father's proposal is definitely the best solution for our family."
Lu Zhiyan couldn't understand Ms. Ji's train of thought for a moment. Since she was not an outsider, it seemed a bit strange for these words to come from Jian Qing's mother's mouth. He had to explain it quickly so as not to let Qin Shi misunderstand.
"Auntie, Jian Qing and I are just ordinary friends. I came to Jian Yi purely for Shi Shi."
This was the first time that Lu Zhiyan formally and seriously talked about the reason why he came to Jianyi Group in front of Qin Shi.
There was an extra layer of regret in Ms. Ji's expression. What a nice young man, it was a pity that he was not after her daughter.
"We have always treated Shishi as our own daughter. Xiao Lu is good and very outstanding. You should come and visit often in the future." Jian Zhihui quickly added.
Qin Shi never expected that coming to Jian's house would feel like bringing her boyfriend to meet his parents.
The most infuriating thing is that she has not officially acknowledged that Lu Zhiyan is her partner.
"Don't feel pressured. If you don't want to merge, that's fine. Let's eat, everyone." Jian Zhihui continued to greet them kindly.
"Qingqing, don't hate your father. He handed the group over to Xiao An just to let Xiao An act as a professional manager. It doesn't mean that he will give him all the shares. Besides, you used to be with Chen Cheng every day. Chen Cheng is a cunning guy, and we are not very confident in handing such a large industry to you." Ms. Ji said.
Seeing that Jian Qing was not too upset, Ms. Ji suddenly had an idea: "Since you and Chen Cheng are divorced now, why don't you consider Xiao An and we can get closer to each other?"
Qin Shi and Lu Zhiyan, who were standing by, were almost heartbroken after hearing this.
"Auntie, the law doesn't allow close relatives to marry now, right?" Qin Shi said in a low voice.
Ms. Ji's topic was quickly stopped by Jian Zhihui, and the dinner about the merger of Jianyi came to an end with the end of the dinner.
Ms. Ji hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, so she cleaned up Jian Qing's old room early and tried to persuade Jian Qing to stay there for one night.
"Xiao Lu, it's not safe for Shishi to go back alone, so please take her home." Jian Zhihui sent Qin Shi and Lu Zhiyan to the gate, and said to Lu Zhiyan.
"Of course, Uncle Jian, don't worry. Shishi's safety is in my hands." Lu Zhiyan naturally took the handbag from Qin Shi, said goodbye to Jian Zhihui like a proud flower protector, and escorted Qin Shi all the way to the car.
Qin Shi got in the car and couldn't help but sigh that tonight was a Hongmen Banquet: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that Qingqing's parents wanted to snatch the results from their own daughter for their nephew Jian An."
Just as Lu Zhiyan was about to answer, his phone screen lit up. He turned on the phone, looked at the screen, and couldn't help frowning.
"Maybe this is not the whole truth." Lu Zhiyan sighed.
"Mr. Lu, Lawyer Lu, you are after all the general legal counsel of our Jianyi. If your channels have other truth news, shouldn't you tell me?" Qin Shi said dissatisfiedly when he saw Lu Zhiyan was being mysterious.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiyan pressed his phone to turn off the screen. He started the car lazily while muttering to himself, "I'm Mr. Qin's lawyer, secretary, and driver. Now you want me to provide you with intelligence. Shouldn't my compensation be increased?"
Qin Shi was a little confused. Lu Zhiyan was already a shareholder of Jianyi Group and would receive dividends every year, so why was he suddenly discussing compensation with her? So she asked with concern, "What do you mean? Are you short of money lately?"
"Want some other reward? Like inviting me to your house for tea tonight?"
"roll."
