Chapter 465: Why Are You Here?
Half an hour later, the old chairman of Jinchuan Construction arrived at the negotiation site.
Chen Fan and the other party began a private conversation in the office.
No one knew exactly what they discussed.
In the hallway, the people from Jinchuan Construction were nervous and worried, while Guo Wendong wore a relaxed expression.
Based on his understanding of Chen Fan, the person who could compel Chen Fan to make an appearance likely hasn't appeared in this world yet.
An hour later, the office door opened, and Chen Fan walked out with the old chairman.
At once, everyone in the hallway turned their gaze towards the two, trying to discern some clues from their expressions.
Unfortunately, neither of them seemed to be the type to show their emotions on their faces.
Chen Fan turned and took the initiative to shake hands with the old chairman.
"It's been a pleasure working with you!"
"I'll have the acquisition agreement prepared, and we'll sign the contract tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Seeing Chen Fan turn to leave, Guo Wendong and the others quickly followed.
Once downstairs, Guo Wendong couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, how did it go? Did they agree?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"Go back and have a lawyer prepare a detailed acquisition contract. We'll come back tomorrow to sign it with them."
But this wasn't what Guo Wendong was concerned about.
"How much did it cost?"
Chen Fan glanced at Guo Wendong.
"80 million yuan."
"Ah?"
Guo Wendong was surprised: "He was actually willing to lower the price by 5 million?"
"There's a condition," Chen Fan explained. "They agreed to the acquisition on the premise that I take over the hundred or so employees of his company."
Guo Wendong was stunned.
"Take over all of them?"
Chen Fan got into the car and spoke calmly.
"Taking them over is fine. We need to recruit staff right now anyway. These are ready-made employees. Why not?"
Guo Wendong nodded, "That's true. However..."
Seeing Guo Wendong's hesitant look, Chen Fan joked.
"What is it?"
Guo Wendong hesitated for a moment before speaking: "But I think the price is still too high. Mainly because that piece of land they have is worthless. If we buy it, it might even become a burden."
"I think if we could stretch them out for a bit longer, we could even get it for just over 70 million."
Chen Fan laughed.
"Old Guo, you should learn to be content."
"You can't expect to encounter all the good things."
Guo Wendong smiled sheepishly.
"Looks like the boss is in a good mood."
Chen Fan nodded: "It's not bad. Now we need to hurry up."
Guo Wendong analyzed while driving: "Once the executives from the headhunters are in place, we should first reorganize the management, then look for suitable projects."
"I suggest we first list Plot No. 012 for sale. If we can sell it, we might even recoup some money, which can then be used as startup capital for the company."
But Chen Fan laughed.
"I'm thinking the exact opposite of you. I plan to make the development of Plot No. 012 our company's first project!"
Guo Wendong: "..."
...
The next morning, in the conference room of Jinchuan Construction, Chen Fan and the old chairman of Jinchuan Construction signed the acquisition contract.
The contract stipulated that Chen Fan's Qifan Construction would acquire Jinchuan Construction for 80 million yuan, with an initial payment of 40 million yuan, and the remaining 40 million to be paid in installments over the next three months.
After signing the contract, Chen Fan stood up and shook hands with the old chairman.
"Congratulations, Jinchuan Construction is yours from now on."
The old chairman's emotions were clearly fluctuating, and he seemed somewhat sentimental.
"Sigh, I'm old. It seems the future ultimately belongs to you young people."
Chen Fan smiled.
"Actually, enjoying your twilight years and playing with grandchildren when you're older isn't bad. My biggest dream is to retire as soon as possible."
The old chairman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Then I wish you prosperous business, abundant wealth, and continuous growth!"
Applause erupted in the room.
After the contract signing was over, the old chairman left this heartbreaking place dejectedly.
From today on, the company he had built from scratch belonged to someone else.
A Vice Chairman surnamed Yu from the company personally received Chen Fan.
They already knew about the agreement between the old chairman and Chen Fan. After Jinchuan Construction was acquired, Chen Fan's side would take on all employees of the company after an assessment.
However, as part of the management, this Vice Chairman Yu wasn't at all at ease, because he was completely unfamiliar with this new boss who seemed excessively young.
Before the news was confirmed, his position had always been unstable.
Therefore, Vice Chairman Yu's attitude in receiving Chen Fan today was indescribably respectful.
"Boss, do you need me to gather the company's management personnel for a meeting to make an announcement?"
Vice Chairman Yu tried to ask for instructions.
Chen Fan smiled and asked: "May I ask for Vice Chairman Yu's full name?"
"My name is Yu Hai, boss can just call me Old Yu." Vice Chairman Yu's posture was very humble.
Chen Fan shook his head: "Let's not meet face-to-face yet. Find someone to show me around the company. I haven't had a complete look at the company yet."
How could Yu Hai let someone else do this kind of thing? He personally acted as a tour guide, starting to show Chen Fan around the company.
The office building of Jinchuan Construction was also rented, with a total of two floors.
However, because the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, some of the management and employees had already jumped ship in advance.
Now the remaining number of employees in the company was less than a hundred. Moreover, everyone was in a state of anxiety, most people sitting at their workstations with no mood to work.
Seeing this scene, Yu Hai's expression was very embarrassed. He wanted to reprimand them, but was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the new boss.
Fortunately, Chen Fan was just observing and didn't reveal any expression on his face.
After touring the upper floor, as they were taking the elevator down, Yu Hai explained in a low voice.
"Downstairs is the office area for ordinary employees. Because of the company's crisis in recent times, everyone's work state might be..."
Chen Fan smiled slightly: "I understand."
The elevator doors opened, and the group walked out.
"Boss, this way please."
Yu Hai extended his hand in invitation while smiling and leading the way in front. Chen Fan had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped.
He turned around with a puzzled look on his face.
When he came out of the elevator just now, he thought he had caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
In the corner of the corridor at the stairway turn, a man and a woman were standing there talking in low voices.
The man said something, and the woman suddenly retreated two steps vigilantly.
This scene angered the other party, and the man suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the girl's wrist.
"Ah..."
"Manager Liu, if you keep this up, I'll call for help."
The girl cried out in fear, desperately retreating, trying to break free from the other party.
"Go ahead and shout. The company is about to go bankrupt, who still has the mood to work?"
"You can shout all you want, I'd like to see who will meddle in other people's business."
The man sneered while gripping the girl's wrist.
"You know the company's situation now, those with capabilities have already been preparing to jump ship."
"You also know yesterday's news, after the company is acquired, the management will definitely be kept, but as for ordinary employees like you, do you think they will keep everyone?"
"Hmph, when the time comes, who stays and who goes will still need our opinion."
"Whether you can stay or not is just a matter of my say-so."
The man was smug.
"I think you're not bad, that's why I decided to give you a chance."
"As long as you're obedient, I'll definitely let you keep your job and stay..."
Just as the girl was anxious and at a loss, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Why are you here?"
