Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

"This son of a bitch, I want to slap him, why is he pretending?"

Lei Luo was furious.

He and Li Jiacheng acquired the company with sincerity, but they couldn't even enter the company's production workshop. What was the point?

Just because they are young, do you treat them like pigs?

"Lei Sheng, there's no need to be angry. When doing business, you'll encounter all kinds of people."

"If everyone is angry, there's no point in doing business. You'll just get pissed off."

Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

"I don't have as good a mentality as you."

Lei Luo lit a cigarette.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the two arrived at Mingyang Printing Factory.

As usual, after explaining the situation to the security guard, the security guard took Li Jiacheng and Lei Luo into the office.

Li Jiacheng greeted the famous boss Ge Liancheng, who invited them to have tea.

Unlike the offices of the two factory owners in Tian Furun’s family, Ge Liancheng’s office has many books and he looks like a cultured person.

After the greetings, Li Jiacheng proposed to acquire Mingyang Printing Factory.

"Mr. Li, can I ask why you want to acquire Mingyang?"

Ge Liancheng did not ask Li Jiacheng to make a quote, but instead asked a very strange question.

"I learned from Manager Liu that Mingyang is a long-established printing company with nearly 20 years of history in Hong Kong City and a good reputation."

"The closure of such a time-honored printing factory is a loss for Hong Kong. I think Mingyang's current difficulties are temporary. If I were to take over, I could revitalize it and give it new life."

Li Jiacheng talked a lot.

He couldn't figure out Ge Liancheng's attitude, so he naturally couldn't say that he only needed Mingyang's reputation and use Mingyang to bid for the agency project in China.

What if Ge Liancheng knew the truth and raised the price?

"There are too few young people like you in Hong Kong. Everyone just wants to make money, and make more money."

Ge Liancheng sighed.

"Some things cannot be measured with money, such as knowledge, culture, and public order and morality."

“A good printing house is a treasure to society.”

Li Jiacheng said while holding it.

"Mr. Li, what you said is very good. I agree with your point of view."

Ge Liancheng's eyes lit up as he told Li Jiacheng about his past experience in founding Mingyang.

He was eager to talk, and Li Jiacheng was not in a hurry. He listened with a smile and agreed with him from time to time.

"Mr. Li, if a money-grubbing businessman wants to buy Mingyang, I won't sell it for any amount of money. It's my life's work. Even if I can't keep it, I don't want it to be ruined by others."

"But you, I am willing to sell my fame to you."

Ge Liancheng's face turned a little red and he suppressed his emotions.

"Thank you, Ge Bo. If I were allowed to manage Mingyang, I would definitely make it the largest printing plant in Hong Kong City and make those newspapers that rejected Mingyang regret not cooperating with it."

Li Jiacheng said decisively.

A smile appeared on Ge Liancheng's face. What Li Jiacheng said really touched his heart.

It was precisely because several major newspapers in Hong Kong refused to cooperate with Mingyang that Mingyang fell into operational difficulties.

Of course he would be happy if Li Jiacheng could help him vent his anger.

"Mr. Li, I have another request, I hope you can agree to it."

"If you agree, I can accept it even if the price you pay for Mingyang is lower."

Ge Liancheng said.

"Ge Bo, you said, as long as I can do it, I will do it."

Li Jiacheng followed up.

"You come with me."

Ge Liancheng stood up.

Li Jiacheng and Lei Luo followed.

Ge Liancheng first took the two people to the gate, greeted the security guard at the gate, and then took the two people into the workshop at the back.

"Mr. Ge."

"Mr. Ge."

A dozen workers greeted Ge Liancheng one after another.

Ge Liancheng smiled and waved to them.

After walking around the workshop, Ge Liancheng returned to the office.

Li Jiacheng and Lei Luo were curious about what Ge Liancheng wanted him to do.

Since the old guy won't say anything, let them guess.

"Mr. Li, I just showed you around the factory. What did you find?"

Ge Liancheng asked.

"Ge Bo, the workers in the factory respect you very much, and you respect them too."

"You must be very good to them normally. You are not a profit-making capitalist, but a Confucian businessman."

Li Jiacheng gave her some flattery.

"Haha, you flatter me too much, but you are right about one thing, they all respect me very much."

"I hope that after you buy Mingyang, you won't drive them away."

"In fact, I have already laid off several waves of employees. Those who stayed are all older employees who have been with me for at least five years. They are reluctant to leave Mingyang, and I can't bear to kick them out."

Ge Liancheng sighed.

Mingyang's business was not doing well, partly because it had no business and partly because it had too many employees.

Employees need to be paid every month, which is a fixed expense.

There was no profit, but salaries had to be paid, so Ge ​​Liancheng had a hard time making ends meet.

"Ge Bo, I understand what you mean. They are all older and it is difficult for them to find jobs, so you took them in."

"I can't promise you that after I take over Mingyang, I won't lay off anyone. If anyone doesn't obey my orders, I'll have no choice but to kill them."

"All I can say is, try not to lay off people. Even if you have to lay off people, don't lay off more than two. Get rid of the troublemakers and deter others."

Li Jiacheng thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I was right about you."

"I'll get you the famous account book. After you've read it, give me a price."

Ge Liancheng smiled and agreed with Li Jiacheng's answer.

If Li Jiacheng accepted his opinion completely and promised him that no one would be laid off, Ge Liancheng would know that Li Jiacheng was lying to him.

It was Li Jiacheng's words that made Ge Liancheng feel that Li Jiacheng was a trustworthy person.

If any old employees are dissatisfied with Li Jiacheng after he hands over control of the company, it is only natural that they will be laid off.

Li Jiacheng looked through the financial books of Mingyang Company.

He read very slowly, occasionally writing down a string of numbers in his notebook.

It took a full hour before Li Jiacheng raised his head.

He didn't read the entire account book, but only looked at the income and expenditure of the last three months.

In a word, Mingyang is in a state of operating loss, but the situation is not too bad.

Fixed expenses include factory buildings, energy consumption and labor.

The labor cost is relatively high because Ge Liancheng can't bear to fire the old employees.

What reassured Li Jiacheng was that Mingyang was not involved in any major scandal.

The loss on paper is actually not terrible.

"Ge Bo, Mingyang is indeed a relatively high-quality company. In my opinion, the current losses are not a big problem."

“Do you have a price in mind?”

Li Jiacheng asked.

"At my age, I still have some savings. To be honest, I don't have high expectations. Just enough for my retirement."

"You just looked at the workshop. This factory is nearly 20,000 square meters, and the lease expires in eleven years."

"Mr. Li, you're also a businessman, just give me a reasonable price."

Ge Liancheng refused to accept the challenge.

No matter how he claims to be great and upright and good to the workers, when it comes to talking about money, he will ask for what he deserves.

That's money.
