Chapter 1724: Acquisition Plan Finally Begins
At this moment, Chu Jingnan would finally begin T-K Corporation’s acquisition plan.
Chu Jingnan had met Lanxin Corporation’s Bella N times to discuss about the acquisition but was rejected multiple times. He discarded his original goal of going through Bella and now was going directly to the top executives of Lanxin Corporation.
The first person he met was a high ranking manager from Lanxin’s industrial park. This manager held a special position in Lanxin Corporation.
A few years ago when Lanxin Corporation first started selling Traditional Chinese Medicinal skincare products, he was recommended to Wen Xinya by Yan Shaoqing. His name was Fu Jianping, and he was once in a traffic accident that caused both his legs to be broken. He led a tough life since then and worked odd jobs like picking up rubbish.
In Chu Jingnan’s eyes, such a person who had been treated cruelly by the world would probably have a ruthless and cold view towards the world.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Fu. I’m from Genesis Investment Company and am a senior investor…”
Chu Jingnan had not even finished his introduction when Fu Jianping held onto his crutches and begun to walk off, limping.
The security guard told him that someone was looking for him, but what he did not know was that it would be someone from Genesis Investment Company.
“Mr Fu, why don’t you sit down and listen to me!” Chu Jingnan sat in the reception room of Lanxin’s industrial factory and looked at Fu Jianping confidently.
Since he had already targeted Fu Jianping, he must be confident that he could breakthrough Fu Jianping’s defense lines.
This was a quality that a senior investor must have.
Fu Jianping hesitated for a moment and then sat back down. “Fine, I will at least listen to what you have to say.”
Fu Jianping knew that Genesis was the investment firm that was helping T-K Corporation with their acquisition plan and already successfully turned one of Lanxin’s Corporation core researchers to their side. This caused Lanxin Corporation to suffer huge losses, and the media even reported that there were quality issues with Lanxin Corporation’s products.
He was not stupid. The purpose of Genesis Investment Firm looking for him was clear as day.
Chu Jingnan laughed with the air of a wall street elite and said, “Mr. Fu, you’re clearly a smart man. Then, I won’t beat around the bush either.”
This time, he came well-prepared for Fu Jianping and brought a huge temptation for him.
Fu Jianping did not speak as a serious look appeared on his face, carrying a sort of calmness that came with age.
Chu Jingnan continued, “T-K Corporation is planning to open factories in Mainland, and right now everything is in the preparation phase. Mr. Fu, you’re extremely experienced in the management of a factory, so T-K Corporation intends to hire you as the new factory overall manager. Would you be interested?”
Fu Jianping had difficulties walking. If Lanxin Corporation fell, he would once again fall from heaven to h.e.l.l and go back to when he could not even sc.r.a.pe enough money for three meals and live like a scavenger.
From frugality to luxury, from luxury back to frugality.
He did not believe that Fu Jianping could stand going back to the streets to repair shoes and pick up rubbish.
Fu Jianping frowned slightly and said, “I think you got it wrong. I am only a cripple, how could I carry the weight of being a overall manager? Lanxin Corporation did not look down on me and so gave me a job.”
Fu Jianping did not waver by Chu Jingnan’s tempting offer.
He did not care that T-K Corporation would give him a position higher than what he currently had in Lanxin Corporation.
Chu Jingnan did not give up despite his rejection. “Mr. Fu, I’m sure that you are clear that Lanxin Corporation will not be able to carry on for much longer. Soon, it will be beaten down to destruction by T-K Corporation. You are a smart man and should know that once Lanxin Corporation closes down, you will be in a dire situation.”
A cripple who could not walk properly, what could he do?
Additionally, he was getting old and did not have much educational qualifications, meaning that he did not have much potential for further growth.
For such a person to lose his job, it was expected that he would face dire consequences.
“So what?” Fu Jianping was impatient and did not answer him, but rather questioned him.
He was not good at discussions, but what he hated most was people like Chu Jingnan who acted as if he was in control of the entire situation and treated everyone else like his p.a.w.ns.
Chu Jingnan pursed his lips slowly and slowly slid a huge cheque in front of him. “Country Z has a saying that goes, those who can see the situation well will be victorious!”
Chu Jingnan believed that no one could reject the huge sum on this cheque, especially someone like Fu Jianping who had yet to truly see the world. He probably would not be able to stand the temptation.
“500,000!”
Fu Jianping was utterly shocked. Looking at the cheque in front of him, right there on the table, his hands started to tremble.
To him, this was an insanely huge sum of money.
“500,000, plus a stable high-paying job, which can allow you, Mr. Fu to reach the peak of your life. Would you please consider my suggestion, Mr. Fu?”
Fu Jianping’s shock and flurried reaction further confirmed his hypothesis. Such offers were desired by many.
Fu Jianping controlled his trembling hands and did not reach out for the cheque. He only said, “T-K Corporation really thinks too highly of me.”
His voice carried some form of hidden emotions. He was flurried.
Chu Jingnan looked at him intently. “Mr. Fu, you are worth such a price.”
Being Genesis Investment Firm’s last straw to defeating Lanxin Corporation and a key player in allowing T-K Corporation to defeat Lanxin Corporation, Fu Jianping was indeed worth that price.
Fu Jianping suddenly agitatedly grabbed the cheque in his hands.
His sudden movements caused Chu Jingnan to break out into a smile.
However, what Fu Jianping did next was something that Chu Jingnan never expected. He tore the cheque into pieces and ruthlessly threw it into Chu Jingnan’s face.
“You’re just a lackey of foreigners, a total disgrace to Country Z.”
Chu Jingnan was momentarily stunned. Fully shocked, he said, “Mr. Fu, do you know what you are doing?”
He never thought that Fu Jianping had the nerve to tear the cheque and to resist his temptation of riches.
“I’ve had enough of you.” Fu Jianping’s original hidden anger and agitation burst out, and he raised his walking stick and started hitting Chu Jingnan hurriedly and ruthlessly.
T-K Corporation was totally insulting his character by targeting him.
Chu Jingnan swore that he never faced such hards.h.i.+p before.
To be chased and hit by a cripple.
The security guard that seemingly came to stop the fight, was instead inciting the fight.
“To expect me to betray Lanxin Corporation is your wishful thinking.” Fu Jianping was harsh and quick. He did not believe that Chu Jingnan would have the face to sue an old cripple for this beating.
Hitting him was for nothing.
“You will regret what you did today,” Chu Jingnan said and hurriedly ran away.
Lanxin Corporation was something that was tough to deal with, hard to swallow, but this did not mean that he gave up already.
