Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Lin Baicheng and Mark Raymond chatted for more than an hour, and most of the time they talked about the development of the TV company. Lin Baicheng talked about the company's positioning and general direction strategy, while Mark Raymond talked about how to expand and develop the company.

Of course, the two of them don't always talk about business, and sometimes they talk about things that have nothing to do with the company.

Although Mark Raymond said it would take two days to think about it, it can be seen that Mark Raymond is still inclined to join Lin Baicheng's team, but this is not a trivial matter after all. Mark Raymond has to go back and think about it carefully. .

When Mark Raymond left, Wade Thomas didn't leave with him.

After Lin Baicheng sent Mark Raymond back, the two chatted about Tevar Electric Company.

Wade Thomas said: "Alan, the employee representatives are very dissatisfied with your demands. They have been making trouble for the past two days and even organized employee demonstrations to prevent you from acquiring the company."

"If I take a tough stance, won't the acquisition be able to proceed?"

If possible, Lin Baicheng still hopes to acquire Tevar Electric Company. After all, this electrical appliance company has enough technologies.

Wade Thomas shook his head: "Alan, politicians will never go against the votes unless the employees make a compromise decision."

"If that's the case, forget it and stop the acquisition."

Lin Baicheng would never check out and accept robbery, so he could only choose to stop the acquisition.

Wade Thomas heard this and said: "Alan, I will express your intention to withdraw from the acquisition. If the state government and Tevar Electric Company cannot make the employees make concessions, then stop the acquisition. Once the employees accept the fact that their salaries will remain unchanged , how about continuing the acquisition?”

Lin Baicheng nodded and asked: "I want to know one thing, that is, will there be any hidden dangers? The employees agreed temporarily, but then they will cause trouble under the leadership of the guild or some people?"

Wade Thomas couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Alan, everyone has to eat. Unless you lower the salary of employees after acquiring the company, they have chosen to accept the fact and are unlikely to cause trouble again. Even if there is trouble, Yes, those are also a small number of people, you can just get rid of them and then recruit others."

"Okay, then you try again and tell me the result next Monday."

Hearing what Wade Thomas said, Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement.

"Alan, if the acquisition cannot be successful this time, it is because we were not prepared and let the guild take advantage of the loophole, so we will continue to acquire electrical companies or home appliance technologies for you. The cost will be calculated as a normal acquisition. This acquisition If unsuccessful, there will be no additional charge.”

Although a lot of resources and funds were used in Twal Electric Company, Lin Baicheng entrusted Goldman Sachs to make a large number of acquisitions, and Lin Baicheng also approached Goldman Sachs for a large amount of loan financing. He was a big customer of Goldman Sachs. Of course, Goldman Sachs had to do everything possible to make Lin Baicheng a big customer. Satisfied, so that Lin Baicheng will continue to cooperate with Goldman Sachs in the future, and Goldman Sachs can fully afford some losses.

"If you say so Thomas, then I won't be polite."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded without being polite. He entrusted Goldman Sachs to carry out the acquisition, but when this happened, to be honest, he was unhappy. After all, if the acquisition failed, it would be a waste of his time. It would be good if he did not find another company to entrust the acquisition.

"It should be said that it's good that you didn't blame us, Alan."

Since Lin Baicheng entrusted Goldman Sachs to carry out the acquisition, the problem was naturally that Goldman Sachs did not do the relevant work well. Although it was an accident, some things only look at the results and not the process. Wade Thomas was relieved to get Lin Baicheng's understanding.

Lin Baicheng smiled when he heard this and stopped talking about it. Goldman Sachs still has considerable power in the United States. If Lin Baicheng wants to make money in the United States, he must have a partner, and Goldman Sachs is a good partner. Lin Baicheng certainly has no reason to fall out over such a trivial matter.

After the two chatted for a while, Lin Baicheng sent Wade Thomas away.

The next day, Lin Baicheng went to Marvel Comics again.

Nowadays, Lin Baicheng is the boss of Marvel Comics. He serves as the chairman of the company, and Stan Lee serves as the chief executive officer, also known as the CEO. He still manages the company as before, but the title has changed. .

Lin Baicheng, who had just acquired the company, asked Stan Lee and other management to take him around the company and even visit the printing factory that prints comics. This printing plant is owned by Marvel Company, and it was precisely because of the original establishment of this printing plant that Marvel borrowed a large amount of funds.

With its own printing factory, comic companies can not only save costs when printing comics, but also avoid being manipulated. If you let someone else's factory print, if the other party wants to mess with you, they can shut down the factory for a few days just by causing a fault. However, there is nothing you can do about it, because the shutdown was caused by a fault and was not intentional.

On that day, Lin Baicheng walked around the entire Marvel company to have a clearer understanding of the company. At the same time, he also let the company's employees know who the new boss was and who they were working for.

The next day on Sunday, Lin Baicheng went back to Los Angeles.

In the afternoon of that day, Wade Thomas contacted Lin Baicheng and said that Twal Electric Company had not reached an agreement in the end. Most employees chose to believe in the union and let employee representatives negotiate on their behalf to strive for better salaries and benefits.

Faced with this result, Lin Baicheng naturally chose not to talk and asked Wade Thomas to stop the acquisition.

Wade Thomas expressed his understanding, and then said that this acquisition negotiation was not fruitless. At least he had gotten to know the controlling shareholders of Twal Electric Company. Goldman Sachs would try to see if it could acquire related technologies from Twal Electric Company. This time it only involves the acquisition of technology, not any factories, so naturally it has nothing to do with employees.

You can acquire anyone's technology, as long as the technology is not too far behind, it is best to have first-class technology and patents, and the products produced can be put into the market immediately. Whether it sells or not is one thing, but whether the quality of the product is too poor to compare with other companies' products is another.

Lin Baicheng's requirements are not high, and he does not require the quality to be better than other electrical appliance companies. As long as the quality of the products produced is no worse than other electrical appliance companies, it will at least be a fair competition.

Because it is already the 14th, Lin Baicheng will leave the United States in a day or two. Fortunately, things in the United States have been sorted out for the time being. His departure will not affect the operations of various companies.
