Comprehensive film: the sweet daily life of urban drama

Inside the cafe, the waiter left.

Bao Yifan was extremely upset when he saw Chen An pretending he didn't exist. However, he reminded himself that he must maintain his composure. Even if he won temporarily, the one who had the last laugh would be the winner.

Chen An didn't think Bao Yifan's defense was excessive. In the original drama, Andy and Wei Wei hadn't broken up yet, but this guy was shamelessly pestering her and even making physical advances. What kind of person is this... Just when he was about to complain, Chen An gave up. It seemed that he was not much better, so he didn't want to be double-standard here.

"Boss Xiao Bao, I still have a lot of work to do. Since you came to me with full confidence, please show me your ability to convince me. If you can't, don't waste each other's time in the future."

Andy's words were very impolite, but they were consistent with the information Bao Yifan had obtained, an iceberg beauty.

As for why he fell in love with Chen An, Bao Yifan thought that he was probably deceived by this man's sweet words. Although he was a little inferior in appearance, he did not think that his charm was inferior to that of a pretty boy. Moreover, he had been in the world of women for many years and was very confident in his own methods.

“I just like dealing with direct people.”

"Shengxuan acquired Hongxing in order to increase production capacity, improve the industrial chain, and further expand market share. However, you overlooked one point. Hongxing's production capacity is equivalent to half of Shengxuan's. Even if you negotiated, the acquisition funds would still be an astronomical figure."

"Once the working capital dries up, even if Shengxuan's production capacity is greatly improved, without sufficient funds, it will not be able to quickly occupy the market. At that time, Shengxuan's acquisition of Hongxing will become a huge burden."

Andy nodded, "It seems that Mr. Xiao Bao has done a very detailed investigation on Shengxuan. You are right, Shengxuan's acquisition of Hongxing is indeed a bit difficult.

But as you said, our goal is market share. As for the funding issue, with Shengxuan's reputation in the industry, whether it is introducing investors or cooperating with other listed companies, it will be more advantageous than cooperating with Bao's."

"That's wrong. You have to know that Hongxing is a major taxpayer in Nantong. The merger is not just a matter of money. We also have to consider government intervention. As a local company, Bao's has a natural advantage in terms of personal connections. If we participate in the merger, the government will not only not put pressure on us, but also provide us with some support."

"This alone is incomparable to the first two. Moreover, since we have chosen to acquire Hongxing, the market around Nantong will inevitably become Shengxuan's strategic target. As far as I know, Shengxuan's current market share in this area is very unsatisfactory. These are not a problem for us at Bao's."

Andy nodded in agreement with Bao Yifan's words. "I admit that the advantages you mentioned do exist, but Bao's is a family business, and the disadvantages are equally obvious. I have also learned about your company. The product structure is too single. Although it has developed well in recent years, its ability to resist risks is too poor."

He had made preparations before coming here, so as soon as Andy finished speaking, Bao Yifan immediately refuted, "Family businesses do have various disadvantages, but there are advantages and disadvantages, and as far as I know, the investment bank where Miss Andy worked on Wall Street before was owned by a family in the Ugly Country."

Andy didn't expect the other party to be so well prepared. He nodded in acknowledgment, but he also started his own counterattack, "Mr. Xiao Bao is indeed right. There are indeed many excellent family businesses in the West. Even the top families in the world are all in the West."

"But there is one thing you overlooked, that is, the difference in education methods between China and abroad. In foreign countries, for the better development of the family, the selection of successors is very strict. And even if you become a family successor, there are countless people watching you all the time. So even though they are all family businesses, there are huge differences in nature."

Bao Yifan's mouth twitched. After all, he was a top student who studied abroad, but now he was being directly questioned. Moreover, he had no way to prove this point in the short term. After all, he had only taken over as president for a short time and had not achieved any results.

"Andy, I know you are a top student at Columbia University, but I am also from Melbourne College..."

"Boss Xiao Bao, what you said can only represent the past. After all, not all of my classmates can become corporate executives."

"Pfft..." Chen An couldn't hold back his laughter, and Andy quickly nudged him with his leg to remind him.

"Sorry, you guys continue." Andy had always been in a weak position in front of him, but it was quite funny to see him suddenly showing his strong side.

Bao Yifan was very unhappy, but this was obviously not the time to worry about these things.

"I agree that success is the only way to judge a person's success. Just like what you said, the education methods at home and abroad are different, so family businesses cannot be generalized."

"China has thousands of years of cultural heritage, and naturally has unique advantages. First of all, in terms of decision-making, most family-owned enterprises in China have almost all senior executives who are relatives, so they have a natural advantage in decision-making. Even listed companies may not be able to match this."

"The biggest drawback of domestic family businesses, apart from management, is the issue of inheritance. It just so happens that I am the only son of my father, and all his property will fall into my hands in the future. I have a natural advantage in this regard."

Looking at Bao Yifan's confident expression, Chen An remembered the bloody plot in the original drama and interrupted the two of them with a light cough.

Bao Yifan was a little annoyed that his pretense was interrupted, and he challenged Chen An with a smile on his face, "Brother, are you not used to drinking coffee, or do you have a sore throat, or do you have any opinion on what I just said?"

If you try this on me, I'll make you sick to death.

"Since Mr. Bao is so open-minded to ask for advice, I will share my opinion."

Damn it, how shameless! Bao Yifan cursed in his heart, but still politely made a gesture of invitation.

Based on Andy's understanding of Chen An, she was not worried at all about her man embarrassing herself, so she just picked up the coffee and drank it slowly, while admiring her little man who was fighting with other men for her.

"The biggest drawback of domestic family businesses is stability, and the biggest influences on this are death, divorce, illegitimate children, and the thousands of years of cultural heritage that Mr. Xiao Bao mentioned."

"After all, our ancestors left us a very classic saying: Fighting against the sky is endless fun, fighting against the earth is endless fun, fighting against people is endless fun. This is enough to show that our country has a very long tradition of internal struggle."

Bao Yifan's mouth twitched. He actually looked down on this pretty boy, who was very good at sophistry. Just as he was about to emphasize that he was the only heir, Chen An spoke first.

"As for what you said about you being the only son in your family and the Bao family having no inheritance issues, this reminds me of an interesting thing."

"I have a lawyer friend who told me about a case concerning inheritance."

"The client's father passed away suddenly, and his father still owed a huge bank loan. The bank came to collect the debt on the pretext that the son should pay off the father's debt."

"But in the end, the bank lost the case because the law stipulates that first, the bank must prove that the client and his father are father and son, and it needs to produce a DNA test report. Secondly, it needs to prove that the client is his father's only child, whether married or not. Thirdly, it needs to prove that all those who are eligible to inherit the deceased's estate have passed away."

"By analogy, Mr. Bao's claim that he is the only heir is totally untenable. How can you guarantee that your uncle and aunt don't have any other descendants? Could it be that they have already made a will and notarized it?"

"Cough cough cough..." Andy thought that her little man would not suffer any loss, but she never expected that the counterattack would be so direct and merciless. She was choked by these words.

Bao Yifan looked at Chen An with cold eyes and said in a very unfriendly tone, "There is an old saying in China, 'Diseases come from the mouth and disasters come from the mouth.' For Miss Andy's sake, I can ignore your unreasonable behavior, but I won't do it again."

When Andy heard Bao Yifan threatening her man, she instantly became angry and was stopped by Chen An just as she was about to speak.

"Wait for me in the car. I'll talk to him."

Andy was very worried. After all, the strength of the Bao family should not be underestimated. But looking at her man's eyes, she didn't say much. However, she gave Bao Yifan a warning look before leaving.
