Chapter 71(1/2)
In this tense situation, everyone has their own beliefs and everyone is working hard.
Li Zhicheng and Lin Qian are working hard to attack foreign capital's attack;
Chen Zheng is working hard to protect his position and interests as a general manager.
Charles is also working hard, and he hopes that DG China's business can do better. He believes that this will not only achieve the business goals of the headquarters, but also bring world-class products to Chinese consumers. This is a very valuable thing.
The investment managers under Lin Mochen are also working hard. Although the acquisition of Xinbaorui and Aida has not made any progress, this world's top investment team is pervasively permeating the shareholders of the two companies. Any gap in interests and any floating people's hearts will be seized by them, like a poisonous snake, eating their coveted target bit by bit.
...
After attending Charles' strategic meeting that day, Lin Mochen returned to his office in Lin City. It was already dusk.
His office is in the deepest part of the corridor.
The night outside the window was clear and Lin Mochen was leisurely in his posture, putting his hands in his pockets, greeting others. When passing by the conference room, through the glass door, he saw the lights inside. The acquisition team in charge of Aida was having a close conversation with a man in a suit and ties.
Lin Mochen's eyes slid lightly past the young man.
It looks familiar. Because of Lin Qian, he has read the information of all senior management staff in Aida before.
So he quickly matched this person with a name in his mind.
He is a very important figure.
Lin Mochen frowned invisibly, his face did not change at all, and his steps did not stop, and he walked straight into his office.
After sitting down, he asked his secretary to bring a cup of coffee, and then looked at the investment analysis report for a while. Then he leaned into the boss's chair, folded his long legs, took out the remote control, and turned on the LCD TV on the wall.
At about 8 o'clock tonight, the new advertisement of DG's top brand ZAMON will be broadcast on major TV stations.
Another bloody storm is about to begin.
Why did Lin Mochen give Charles a note to give advice before?
Because after Li Zhicheng used the "group killing" tactic for foreign brands, Lin Mochen could almost conclude that DG's US headquarters will inevitably use ZAMON to save other brands. Since it is a foregone conclusion, even if he gives advice to Charles, it will not affect the overall situation. It can also consolidate his personal relationship with Charles and prevent Chen Zheng from being solicited.
Moreover, with the routine used by Li Zhicheng and DG's crushing tactics, it must have been under his calculations. Since that's the case, he followed the flow and might even be as he and Lin Qian's intentions. Moreover, this is not contrary to his professional ethics.
However, as he saw just now, it seems that someone inside Ida wanted to defect.
But he would never reveal this key message to Lin Qian. Because this is a very common thing in acquisitions, if he says it, it will seriously violate professional ethics.
If this change today will cause a substantial blow to Ida, then whether they can survive this level depends on themselves.
But then again, if Li Zhicheng can't even deal with the common intrigues in shopping malls, he can get out of his sister.
——
In early September, Changsha was still as hot as a stove.
On a sunny afternoon, Lin Qian was still wearing a hot blue worker uniform, wearing a baseball cap, a ponytail, and stood in front of the production line with several technicians and workers to check the recent test results.
Compared to the exploration a few weeks ago, the samples from the production line have basically reached Lin Qian's ideal value.
This means that as long as she rents a factory, buys equipment, and recruits workers and staff, her new brand can be officially put into production.
Lin Qian was a little excited and waved her hand: "I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight. Thank you so much for your hard work, and you have made a lot of contributions."
All the employees shouted ok. Everyone was also very excited because according to Lin Qian's previous statement, Group President Li Zhicheng had agreed that they would be seconded to a new company as entrepreneurial veterans. In the future, they would like to stay in the new factory or return to their original positions, and they would just let them go.
Now that Ida's business is blooming everywhere, everyone wants to compete for the best. Is there any better opportunity than this?
After booking the evening banquet, Lin Qian sat with them in the factory office and chatted. After chatting for a while, his phone vibrated in his pocket. Lin Qian looked at the caller ID and suddenly reacted, looked up and asked the people around him: "What week is today?"
"Mr. Lin is really busy and forgot. Today is Saturday."
Lin Qian was stunned - it's over!
She actually forgot Li Zhicheng. She made an appointment to pick him up at the airport at 2 noon today, and now it is three:30! Before the key point, Li Zhicheng said she didn't need her to pick him up, but she insisted on picking him up - because she missed him very much. So he agreed. But now...
With Li Zhicheng's current status, probably no one will let him go? Lin Qian's thought slipped through his mind, quickly picked up the phone, walked into the unmanned aisle, and then answered.
"Hey..." Her voice was a little guilty.
"Hey." His voice was still low and steady.
"I'm sorry, I forgot, where are you?" she whispered.
"What are you busy with?" he asked without answering.
"I'm busy with the new brand." While speaking, she looked through her phone again. Good guy, he had already made three calls before. She didn't hear it.
A picture suddenly appeared in my mind - the cold and innocent Li Zhicheng stood at the pick-up entrance, making phone calls over and over again, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, but no one paid attention to him...
She was really wrong! She actually forgot him at the airport.
"Where are you now?" she asked in a low voice again.
"I've arrived."
Lin Qian said "Oh" and said, "Then wait, I'll come soon." He then "pop" to the phone, and then hung up.
Walking back among everyone, Lin Qian said with apologies: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li has arranged a job for me temporarily. Can we change our dinner until tomorrow?"
She spoke very well. Originally, Li Zhicheng arranged a job for her - to accompany him.
Of course everyone agreed.
Since we have finished our business, we will no longer stay on weekends. We turned off the lights and power supply, and left the workshop together.
Lin Qian walked at the end with a young female designer, and the two were still chatting casually about the appearance of the new brand. As for Li Zhicheng, he said he had arrived, and Lin Qian naturally understood that he had arrived - he had arrived at the hotel by the Xiangjiang River where the two met every week. So she planned to drive over directly.
The sun is strong outside, the workshop is covered with green trees and flowers, which is also cool. Everyone takes a shortcut and passes through the path between the green belts. Not far ahead is the company gate.
Lin Qian was chatting with the designer, and suddenly he saw a person behind the flower bed on one side from the corner of his eyes. The sun shone through the branches and shone on him. He was wearing a simple light gray T-shirt, black casual trousers, a baseball cap, and his hands were placed in his pockets, looking up at her.
Lin Qian was stunned for a moment and slowed down. He had reached out and pulled her from the path and pulled her into his arms.
Lin Qian was both surprised and frightened - the surprise was that he didn't expect that what he said was "arrived" and that he actually came to pick her up at the factory.
I was frightened that this place was a new factory, and no one knew his relationship with her. If I saw the group boss suddenly coming over and having an ambiguous relationship with her, it would be too sudden and too exciting.
"Why are you here?" she asked in a low voice, "There are still many employees here! Let's let go first, let's see you in the parking lot..."
Before he could finish his words, a deep smile flashed in Li Zhicheng's eyes covered by the shadow of the brim of the hat.
Then he lowered his head and kissed her, holding her firmly in his arms.
Lin Qian struggled desperately in his arms - he deliberately! Who asked her to release his pigeon?
The two were kissing each other, and the female designer walking in front had already noticed Lin Qian's "suddenly disappeared". She heard her "huh" and shouted: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin?" The footsteps were approaching.
Lin Qian showed a begging for mercy to Li Zhicheng, and the "Wuwu" was vague. Li Zhicheng's mouth was full of her sweet taste, and he lowered his head and bit her nose, then he let go of her.
Lin Qian quickly sorted out her slightly messy shirt and walked out. She reacted quickly, picked up her cell phone and made a serious call. At the same time, she waved her hand to the female designer and signaled her to leave first. The female designer then realized it and turned around and walked away.
Lin Qian put the phone in her pocket and turned to look at Li Zhicheng with a calm face. He was still standing under the shade of the tree, waiting quietly for her to fool the employee - that handsome and neat look.
Lin Qian felt a little distressed and moved when he thought of him running to the factory to find her. She looked at the empty left and right empty, reached out and hooked his neck, and cursed intimately: "You bastard."
"Yes." He stared at her and replied, "Only the bastard will be left to the airport by the woman."
Lin Qian laughed: "Isn't it okay if I was wrong?"
The two of them walked out holding hands and almost reaching a place where there were people. Lin Qian quickly broke away. Li Zhicheng glanced at her and said nothing.
Because Li Zhicheng is a super big boss for the branch below. He himself doesn't like to show up, so not many workers below have seen him. In addition, with a buttoned hat and a casual outfit, he walked along with Lin Qian, but no one recognized him.
But along the way, the few people Lin Qian met greeted her enthusiastically.
"Mr. Lin."
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
Lin Qian smiled and nodded.
Everyone's eyes naturally fell on the "strange man" beside her. Seeing that he looked cold and looked squinting, the brim of his hat covered most of his face, and walking side by side with Lin Qian's silent state was really mysterious and eye-catching.
Of course, Lin Qian would not introduce him to the employees, so he quickly pulled him and walked out of the parking lot.
——
When he returned to the hotel, Lin Qianxian had a meal with him, and the sunset was already setting.
The two of them walked along the mudflats by the river in the afterglow of the sunset. This was a beach in the hotel, with an empty terrain and a soft foot. There were wild ducks and water birds constantly passing by on the water, and the scenery was quiet and vivid.
After walking for a while, Lin Qian saw a shallow in front of him, with large and small rocks spreading and brown moss growing. Lin Qian was on a whim and turned to look at him: "Do you want to turn over crabs?"
Li Zhicheng, who grew up with a bunch of brats since he was a child in the military compound, naturally became familiar with this. He smiled slightly when he heard this, rolled up the sleeves of his T-shirt, showed his strong and tough forearms, and looked at her contemptuously: "How do you?"
Lin Qian: "Go! When I was a child, I was invincible in Lin City!"
"Oh?" He had already stepped on a rock first, looked down at it, and said lightly, "Then why haven't I heard of you?"
Lin Qian couldn't help laughing and replied, "You are ignorant." Compared to Li Zhicheng, her preparation work was more thorough. Not only did she roll up her sleeves, but she also kicked off the sandals, rolled her pants to the base of her thighs, and stepped directly into the water.
Both of them were competitive talents in all outdoor activities. So they didn't speak for a while, and held their breath and observed the movements in the water.
However, Lin Qian should have thought of long ago that finding food in the wild is also one of the essential skills for special forces. So soon, Li Zhicheng had already dug out five, but she was only alone.
She glared at him fiercely, and kept looking for it with all her might.
But for Li Zhicheng, the childlike thing like "flipping crabs" is no longer attractive. It is just to be happy with her. At this moment, seeing her frowning slightly, looking like "I want to do something big", he thought about it and stopped looking for crabs by himself, but followed her quietly.
