From retail to global domination

Chapter 162: One Billion Acquisition of Cologne

When Ye Xinyi heard that Zhang Yang had acquired Southern Hi-tech, she was already a little numb!

This kid, if he doesn't make some big noise, it's really out of character for him!

But where did this guy get the funds?

This is 100 million, not a small amount.

Well, since Zhang Yang didn't say anything, it was hard for her to ask.

After acquiring Southern Hi-tech, he planned to move the R&D center and factory to Shencheng.

As for the sheep farm site, it is currently vacant.

After all, what I bought this time was not just the R&D center, but also the land.

So in Zhang Yang's opinion, he made a profit.

In later generations, such a large piece of land would cost more than 100 million.

And he will still have use for this land in the future.

However, until the Shencheng side is built, R&D will still have to be done here for the time being. After all, building the R&D center and factory cannot be completed by two people in one day.

No matter what, we have to wait until construction is completed over there before we can start moving here.

It's quite complicated anyway.

Zhang Yang had just acquired Southern Hi-Tech, and the headhunting company had also contacted the R&D personnel who had left Southern Hi-Tech.

They decided to work with Zhang Yang, but the salary must be paid monthly.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a high welfare package?

The only thing that worries them is that after a few months of not raising funds, the company will eventually go bankrupt and they won't be able to get their wages. That would be tragic. This kind of thing was too common in 2004.

Regarding this, Zhang Yang naturally has no problem.

Originally, he had no intention of delaying salary arrears.

Then those who left returned to Southern Hi-Tech, no, Huifeng Hi-Tech.

After acquiring Southern Hi-Tech, Zhang Yang immediately changed its name to Huifeng Hi-Tech.

The old people were still somewhat resistant before.

Nonsense, can you not resist it? They have been following Southern Hi-tech since it started, but now it has changed its name. It is normal that they cannot accept it.

But Zhang Yang naturally has a way to convince these guys.

Can't accept it, right?

Money clears the way, that's not a problem.

Doubling the salary per person?

Is this acceptable?

This problem was solved instantly, and everyone was very motivated.

The salary has been doubled. The salary of Southern Hi-tech was already very high before. Now with such an increase, it is almost the best in the same industry. What else do they have to be dissatisfied with?

Just do it well.

Later, Zhang Yang hinted that he might move to Shencheng.

Everyone had no opinions after listening to it.

As long as the wages are paid, the glass will be shattered.

In 2004, there was no concept of music phones, but Zhang Yang knew very well that music phones would be the trend in the next few years, so the first task he assigned to the R&D staff was to develop music phones and camera phones.

The mobile phone comes with MP3 function, and the sound quality is even better than MP3. Because of this, he specially set up a sound quality R&D center and recruited many sound quality R&D personnel.

In a photo, it must be clear. It does not necessarily have to reach the pixels of the camera, but it cannot be much different.

Similarly, Zhang Yang recruited a group of pixel R&D personnel.

With increased funding, Southern Hi-tech's current R&D personnel have not only not decreased, but have more than doubled compared to the peak.

This also allowed everyone to see Zhang Yang's determination to delve into the mobile phone market, and they were all motivated.

This time, Zhang Yang allocated 300 million in R&D funds.

If it is not enough, it will continue to increase in the future.

It's a big deal, it's really a big deal.

Three hundred million R&D funds are much more generous than the previous boss.

The previous boss always wanted to copy others, but Zhang Yang was different. He put forward his own requirements and had to do it this way. The funds were increasing but he had to see the results.

Although the requirements may be stricter, relatively speaking, everyone still likes to work with such a boss.

Now that you have become a researcher, who doesn’t want to break through?

Moreover, Zhang Yang said that whoever makes a significant contribution to the company, such as inventing a patent, will be rewarded by the company with tens of millions of dollars.

That’s right, tens of millions.

This stimulated these developers even more.

This is a reward of tens of millions, and it was still in 2004. This is equivalent to 100 million in future generations. Can they not be excited?

So everyone is working hard.

And since Huifeng acquired Southern Hi-Tech, wages have been based on grades.

In other words, the stronger your ability, the higher your salary, with the highest annual salary being 700,000, which further stimulates these developers.

Everyone is preparing for promotion.

If you want to advance, you must have excellent skills, which means your ability must pass the test.

Currently, in Southern Hi-Tech, there are less than ten people whose salary exceeds this level.

These ten people are truly boss-level figures. Not only can they enjoy salaries, but they can also receive dividends if their products are sold well. Their annual income can easily exceed one million, and they are sure to be winners in life.

Because of this salary strategy, Huifeng Hi-Tech has attracted three big-name figures.

I believe it won’t be long before we can attract high-end R&D talents one after another, which is also Zhang Yang’s ultimate goal.

The platform is given to you, how you use it depends on your personal ability.

Of course, there are also many talents who are engaged in chip research and development, and Zhang Yang accepts all orders without any hesitation.

Isn't it just to build two more R&D centers? Although it is very expensive, the most important thing for Zhang Yang today is money.

Then he spent another 5.5 billion to buy a large amount of advanced equipment from Europe.

This shocked all R&D personnel.

Coupled with Southern Hi-tech's previous equipment, I'm afraid there is no rival in the entire industry. This guy is simply too generous and arrogant!

Back and forth, Zhang Yang invested nearly one billion!

There is not much money to acquire the company, but the investment in R&D funds and purchasing advanced equipment is huge.

The R&D center in Shencheng is also under construction. When the time comes, everything will be moved to Shencheng.

However, we need to communicate with Sun Yun in advance. He plans to put all these factories in Dadong District.

During the phone call with Sun Yun, when he heard that Zhang Yang was going to set up a mobile phone R&D center and factory in Shencheng, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Especially when he heard about the one billion investment, he wanted to call him Brother Zhang Yang.

Shencheng has always lacked technology companies, which is also their flaw.

But there is no way. It used to be heavy industry, but now it is extremely difficult to transform, and the best opportunity has been missed.

The most important thing is that Shencheng has no outlet to the sea. This is the biggest flaw!

If there was an outlet to the sea, Shencheng might be the second Tianj!

Unfortunately not!

And because of the weather, few people like to stay in the Northeast, which is also one of the drawbacks.

Over time, Shencheng's development has lagged behind, and it cannot be changed by one leader or two leaders!!

It can’t bring investment, it can’t bring talent!

At the same time, they also gave up the idea of ​​introducing technology companies. It would be good to have two more venues.

Unexpectedly, in an unexpected turn of events, Zhang Yang actually acquired Southern Hi-tech, and also moved the R&D center and production factory to Shencheng?

Still need to invest one billion?

This is definitely a big deal and he must support it.

Since Zhang Yang is so awesome, he can't lag behind.

Sun Yun specifically asked Zhang Yang if the funds were sufficient. If not, he could help with a loan.

I have to say that at this point, Sun Yun is much more courageous than Wang Honghui. He also likes to deal with officials like Sun Yun, and he doesn't do it in vain.

Of course Zhang Yang would not refuse the benefits delivered to his door.

Although he has money now, the cash may not be enough to carry out his next series of operations.

Since there are people rushing to provide loans, of course it’s good.

Then Sun Yun came forward and loaned Huifeng 300 million yuan.

Three hundred million is quite a lot. Huifeng will raise other funds on its own.

Zhang Yang also didn't expect Sun Yun to be so powerful that he loaned him 300 million in one go.

With the 300 million saved, he can do a lot of things.

Then Zhang Yang told Sun Yun his next idea, which was to acquire Cologne.

Hearing Zhang Yang's imagination, Sun Yun was shocked again.

Didn't expect this kid to be so ambitious?

He asked several times in a row, fearing that he had heard wrongly.

That's Cologne. No one with a billion or eighty million wants to successfully acquire it?

Moreover, Cologne's reputation is much greater than that of Southern Hi-Tech, and the two parties are not on the same level at the moment.

When he was sure that Zhang Yang was right and he heard correctly, Sun Yun decided to help Zhang Yang again.

They provide loans and land for free, and as long as the R&D center and factory are located in Dadong, they will be exempted from taxes for three years.

This treatment is absolutely top-notch.

Free land, loans, tax exemption for three years?

This can save them hundreds of millions of funds, and this is what Zhang Yang has been waiting for.

He was more familiar with the land of Dadong than anyone else, and then he asked for a land not far from Wanghua.

After all, Wanghua is going to be used for development, and those lands cannot be touched.

After acquiring the land here, construction will begin there. He plans to complete the construction within three months.

It really won't take long to build two R&D centers and two manufacturing plants, and then they will have to relocate.

But the premise is that he also acquires Cologne.

Although Cologne is currently encountering problems, it is hard to say whether the other party will sell it, and acquiring listed companies is also more troublesome.

After the matter here was settled, Zhang Yang and Zhang Qian took a plane to Foshan.

When mentioning Foshan, most people will think of Huang Feihong.

There is also Foshan Shadowless Foot.

Shadowless Kick emphasizes the footwork. While defeating the enemy quickly, it also ensures that the foot is stable. Only with a steady foot can one move quickly and withstand and neutralize external attacks.

Relatively speaking, Foshan Shadowless Foot is more famous.

When children play together, they will use a set of Foshan shadowless kicks to knock down their friends.

Zhang Yang also played like this when he was a child. The end result was that he bought two cans and went to apologize to others all night long!

His fists and feet were blind, so bumps and bumps were inevitable. Because he was too young at the time and his body was very flexible, he raised his feet too high and kicked his front teeth off!

Fortunately, the blackmailing mode had not yet started in those days, so two cans could solve the problem.

If in future generations, there will probably be no problem that cannot be solved!

Foshan is a prefecture-level city, a megacity, an important domestic manufacturing base, an economic and trade center in the west wing of the Pearl River Delta region, and a comprehensive transportation hub.

It can be said that its geographical location is very good. It is located in the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta, adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, adjacent to Yangcheng to the east, and Zhongshan to the south. Together with Yangcheng, it forms the "Guangzhou-Foshan Metropolitan Area", vigorously promoting Guangfo's urbanization cooperation and building an international metropolis.

The district is one of the cities in the Pearl River Delta, an important node city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, an important part of the "Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing Economic Circle", the "Pearl River-Xijiang Economic Belt", and one of the regions with the most developed private economy in the country.

This has also contributed to the rise of Foshan, which cannot be stopped even if you want.

After the two arrived in Foshan, they found a hotel and stayed for two days, then went to Cologne.

This time is different from the last time, I need to contact someone.

After all, Cologne is different from Southern Hi-Tech, where a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

This is not a problem for Zhang Yang. It is nothing more than spending some money. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Then Zhang Yang gave a sum of money to the headhunting company and quickly connected them.

Money is not wasted. As long as you have money, there will naturally be people who can help you solve many problems that you cannot solve.

When the Cologne boss saw Zhang Yang, he thought the headhunting company was joking with him.

Can you think otherwise, seeing that the other party is no more than 20 years old, yet he wants to acquire Cologne?

Where did he get so much money?

This is an acquisition worth hundreds of millions, not 1.8 million.

Is this headhunting company crazy about making money? It recommends everyone here?

If he hadn't been so well-behaved, I would have driven him away.

"Boss Liu, I'm very interested in Cologne. Please give me a price." Zhang Yang is not stupid. Of course, he can tell that this person doesn't seem to be interested in him, but it doesn't matter, he doesn't care.

As long as the purpose is achieved, that's all.

Besides, after this time, the two of them will never have any intersection again.

He can still think about this.

"1.5 billion."

Now that the other party has spoken, Liu Ren tells a price to satisfy this boy's wish.

Zhang Yang was slightly startled when he heard the price.

1.5 billion?

What kind of international joke are you kidding?

Where is Cologne worth 1.5 billion now?

Are you crazy about money?

No way would he give this price, but he wouldn't leave like this.

Cologne is different from Southern Hi-tech. Many people are thinking about it, especially Cologne's refrigerator technology, which is famous in the world.

But he wouldn't give it this price either. Wouldn't this be taking advantage of him?

Maybe because of his young age, this guy randomly mentioned a price and made him quit.

"Mr. Liu, your price is a bit unreasonable.

I came today with sincerity and hope that the negotiation can be concluded." Zhang Yang continued, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart.

To be honest, when the old guy said 1.5 billion, he was really angry.

How to negotiate this price?

It is unrealistic to lose hundreds of millions at once, but Cologne today is not even worth a billion!

The only valuable thing about Cologne now is not their brand, but their technology.

Yes, it's their technology.

I have to say that in the field of technology, especially in refrigerators, it can rival Haier.

This is also the reason why Hisense spent a lot of money to acquire Cologne.

Because their technology is awesome, and their scientific researchers are even better.

If there is no problem with the product, then it depends on the operation. As long as the operation is great, it is only a matter of time before it starts to work.

But don’t think about Cologne, it’s also very difficult to get up, probably for many reasons.

Liu Ren was a little surprised by Zhang Yang's reaction.

I didn't expect that this kid was so well-mannered and didn't even get angry?

His face was filled with disdain just now, but how could this kid hold it back?

Among young people, this determination is definitely enough.

"1.2 billion, this is our bottom line.

If you can't come up with 1.2 billion, please take it back." This time, Liu Ren lost 300 million.

In fact, he really didn't want to sell Cologne until the last minute.

So the price is already low enough.

In his opinion, the other party must not be able to pay this price.

Not to mention 1.2 billion, even 100 million, he may not be able to get it.

But he can't offer 100 million, because if word spreads, many people will bother him.

And when it’s time to sell it, the price won’t go up.

Who knows if Cologne will rise again? If it continues like this, it will still be sold.

"One billion.

And it's cash.

I believe Boss Liu knows very well how much Cologne is worth now, and I already have more."

Zhang Yang finally understood that it was impossible to acquire Cologne at a low price!

The other party who paid 700 to 800 million would not sell it at all. After all, Cologne was not at the end of its rope yet, and Liu Ren still wanted to struggle.

But Zhang Yang knew very well that no matter how hard he struggled, it would be in vain, and he would still end up being sold.

But Zhang Yang can't wait, and he can't wait any longer.

When Hisense intervened, Liu Ren would not sell it to him even if he offered 1.5 billion.

Because they are not at the same level as Hisense. They are big companies, but they don’t even have any hair now.

As long as Liu Ren doesn't have a mental problem, he will eventually choose to sell Cologne to Hisense, which will also allow him to obtain some Hisense shares.

Moreover, Cologne was founded by him. Even if he gets married, he still hopes to find a good family.

In this regard, Huifeng cannot compare with Shanghai Xin.

He is tall, rich and handsome, but Huifeng is short and poor!

Although I really don’t want to admit it, it’s a bit heartbreaking, but it’s the truth!

Moreover, in this acquisition case, the yamen of both parties also intervened, which is something Huifeng cannot compare with!

This is why he is now eager to acquire Cologne.

Liu Ren was stunned.

One billion?

Can this kid really take it out?

The price is so high that it cannot be sold. Zhang Yang is right, the current Cologne is simply not worth the money.

But that’s not what this thing is about.

Even if my valuation is only 100 million, and you offer 1 billion, if I don’t want to sell, you can’t force me to sell, right?

This is also the reason why the price is so high.

Since this old boy doesn't want to buy it, we can only offer him a price that will tempt him, one billion.

And it's cash.

What was the concept of one billion in cash in 2004?

It's simply unimaginable.

At this time, there are probably not many people in the country who can come up with one billion in cash.

If you say one billion in debt, you can still pay it off.

Even Liu Liang's debt has exceeded 10 billion.

Personal assets are personal assets, not liabilities.

Liu Ren was really tempted when he heard the price.

Nonsense, can you not be tempted?

This is one billion in cash.

"Okay, deal."

A bird that is still reserved at this time?

Since the other party gave them such an attractive price, they might as well sell it!

With a billion dollars in capital, he can make a comeback.

But could Zhang Yang give him a chance to make a comeback?

It's obviously impossible.

"Mr. Liu, before signing this contract, we need to sign a letter of guarantee.

You won't be able to enter this industry within five years." Regarding Liu Ren's suspicion, Zhang Yang could somewhat guess.

If this old boy gets the money, turns around and opens another company, poaching all the original Cologne R&D personnel, wouldn’t he get a lonely one billion?

He wouldn't be so stupid.

Apart from technology, the most valuable thing in Cologne is these R&D personnel.

Without these developers, not even 100 million is worth it.

Liu Ren was stunned.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he never imagined that Zhang Yang would make such a request.

It was really beyond his expectation.

Not to mention, he really thought so.

Take 1 billion to start a new business and poach all the R&D engineers in Cologne.

Even if Zhang Yang doubles his salary, he may not be able to retain these developers.

They have been following Liu Renzhen for so long that they have some feelings for him.

With a little inducement from Liu Ren, it is really possible for them all to leave.

To be on the safe side, he had to sign this contract, otherwise he would rather not acquire it because he didn't want to be tricked.

Seeing Liu Ren's expression, Zhang Yang knew that he had really guessed it, and this old boy really planned to do this.

Fortunately, I was on guard against him.

But then Zhang Yang became a little angry.

If you really sign a contract blindly and get tricked by this guy, you won't be losing money at all.

It will become a laughing stock and the laughing stock of the Chinese business community.

Isn't this destroying him?

Perhaps knowing that Zhang Yang noticed something about his expression, Liu Ren quickly withdrew his gaze in embarrassment.

After hearing this request, Liu Ren hesitated.

If he doesn’t work in this industry within five years, who will still be mad at him in five years?

In other words, what seems like five years has actually deprived him of the qualification to continue doing this business.

Of course you have to think about it carefully next.

Zhang Qian on the side watched the confrontation between the two with admiration.

She really hadn't thought about it that much before.

But after Zhang Yang said that he wanted to sign a guarantee letter, she suddenly realized, and when she saw Liu Ren's expression, she also understood that this guy really thought so.

Sure enough, intrigues in the business world are not that simple.

If you are not careful, you will be cheated.

There is no discussion about cheating you.

After all, this is the business world, and the winner is the one who laughs last.

This also made Zhang Qian admire Zhang Yang even more.

This man is simply capable of anything.

Zhang Yang did not disturb Liu Ren's contemplation and waited for him to make a decision.

If the other party does not agree, he can only give up the acquisition.

Three minutes later, Liu Ren seemed to have made a big decision: "I agree!"

After saying this, he suddenly became discouraged.

Once he signs this contract, there is no possibility for him to make a comeback.

But does he have any other options now?

Unless Cologne is not for sale.

It’s okay not to sell, but can we survive this difficulty?

cannot.

Although he was very reluctant, he knew very well that Cologne would not be able to overcome this difficulty!

Over the past year, Cologne will only become less and less valuable.

So why not sell it now at a high price and let him take the money and leave.

With such funds, what industry can’t be developed?

You don’t have to be in your old profession, right?

Even if you don't have to do anything, just put the money in the bank and earn interest, and you can live happily for a lifetime.

"Shuang Kuang, when will you sign the contract?"

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party agreed.

At the same time, he wanted to sign a contract with the other party as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid it will take a while.

You also know that Cologne is not only a shareholder of me, but also a listed company, which is very troublesome.

But believe me, I am confident to convince them."

Liu Ren is still very confident about this. Those shareholders are more anxious than him to sell the company so that they can leave with more money.

That's how a joint-stock company is, which is why Zhang Yang won't divide it into shares.

Even if Giant Sun raises money, even if he offers an attractive price.

"good.

Waiting for your good news.

But I hope Mr. Liu will be faster."

Zhang Yang still has a lot of things to do, how can he afford to wait.

He also wants to go to Country H to acquire a game company, and there is no telling how long he will be there.

So you must complete all planning before going out.

"No problem, there is news here. I will contact Mr. Zhang on the phone. I hope our cooperation can be successful this time." The two stood up and shook hands with each other, and then Liu Ren personally saw Zhang Yang off.

To be honest, he actually felt quite uncomfortable. After all, he had founded Cologne from scratch, and now he had to sell it. It was strange that he felt better.

However, Liu Ren knew very well that Cologne was in his own hands and had no future.

Zhang Yang's acquisition of Southern Hi-tech has not been known by the media for the time being. After all, he did the acquisition secretly, but it can't stop the fire. He only hopes to be exposed after acquiring Cologne, otherwise some people will find out that he is acquiring Cologne, which will cause trouble.

Already.

Who knows if other opponents will enter.

After all, he and Liu Ren only made a verbal agreement, and the other party may go back on it at any time.

This is also the reason why he hopes not to expose it.

These reporters are all-pervasive. Once you are targeted, they will know even what kind of pants you are wearing!

I can't accept it...
