Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

When Zhao Wenhao finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xian, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Obviously, from what Zhao Wenhao said before, it seems quite clear that Hengyuan Electronics is not willing to acquire the provincial TV factory.

Especially since these words were said in front of Zhou Xian and his colleagues, it made Zhou Xian feel a little embarrassed.

Before this, everyone knew that the Provincial Television Factory was a failure and was now just waiting for Hengyuan Electronics to take over.

Zhou Xian had said all the good things before and had personally appeared in person many times. If there was still no good result in the end, it would be a huge blow to Zhou Xian on the political level.

Zhou Xian sat there, looking at Zhao Wenhao with a gloomy face, and a feeling of anger and disappointment surged in his heart.

He originally thought that he had convinced Hengyuan Electronics, but he did not expect that Zhao Wenhao would reject the acquisition proposal so directly.

Zhou Xian felt that his efforts were in vain and he lost face in front of everyone.

He tapped his fingers on the table as he thought about how to handle this situation.

He knew that if he could not solve the problem of the provincial TV factory, it would bring him a lot of trouble.

He needs to find a way to make Hengyuan Electronics change its mind or find other solutions.

Zhou Xian took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

He realized that now was not the time to lose his temper, but to calm down and find a solution to the problem.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Wenhao unexpectedly raised his right hand and said, "Governor Zhou, please let me finish my words!"

Zhou Xian was a little annoyed, but he was still very cunning. He didn't say anything, but made a gesture to let Zhao Wenhao continue.

Fortunately, he let Zhao Wenhao continue speaking, otherwise, this matter would have become a misunderstanding.

In this way, Zhao Wenhao had completely offended Zhou Xian.

Of course, these are also the effects that Zhao Wenhao wants. He must let everyone know clearly that if Hengyuan Electronics acquires the provincial TV factory, it will have to pay a huge price.

Otherwise, others will not cherish things that are easily obtained.

Zhao Wenhao's ultimate goal was to make the provincial government owe him a favor. Zhao Wenhao had made contributions to the province, so if anything happened in the future, they had to support him.

"Three days ago, our company held a high-level meeting. During the meeting, most of the senior executives expressed reservations about this acquisition. After all, we need to consider many factors, including market prospects and financial risks.

In addition, our shareholders Goldman Sachs and Meifeng Group also expressed their opposition.

They believe that the acquisition may bring unnecessary risks to the company and affect its stability.

Two shareholders even said that if Hengyuan Electronics really wanted to complete its original technological accumulation through acquisitions, they had better options to recommend.

Having said that, Zhao Wenhao deliberately paused, drank a cup of tea, and at the same time looked at everyone present.

He noticed that Zhou Xian kept his head down and seemed to be busy writing something in a notebook.

As for the others, most of them kept expressionless, making it difficult to guess what they were thinking.

Perhaps everyone is thinking about the complexity and potential impact of this issue.

Among this group of people, the only one who seemed relatively relaxed was probably the factory director Feng Zhen.

He sat there with a faint smile on his face, as if he had expected all this.

"But!"

Zhao Wenhao slammed his palm on the table, making a dull "dong" sound, and the entire conference room echoed with the dull knocking sound.

His eyes were firm and his expression was serious, as if he wanted to convey his inner determination to everyone.

"But I'm from Huining. I was born here, grew up here, and might even be buried here in the future. How can I bear to watch my fellow countrymen endure this pain?"

His tone was full of a sense of responsibility and mission, which moved people.

Hearing this, Zhou Xian, who had originally thought that the matter was over, immediately raised his head with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect Zhao Wenhao to say such a thing, and a complicated emotion surged in his heart.

Zhao Wenhao nodded slightly and signaled to Zhou Xian, indicating that his determination was unwavering.

Then he continued, "Also, our Governor Zhou was very respectful and came to me three times, hoping that I could contribute.

How could I not be moved by such friendship?

Therefore, I suppressed the opposition from the company's senior management, rejected the good intentions of the two shareholders, and resolutely stated here that Hengyuan Electronics will launch an acquisition offer for the Provincial TV Factory."

His voice was resounding, full of strength and determination.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room became solemn and tense. Everyone listened quietly to Zhao Wenhao's words and felt his firm belief.

"Clap clap clap..."

As Zhou Xian stood up, he took the initiative to applaud. Seeing this, the others also quickly stood up and applauded enthusiastically one after another.

The entire conference room suddenly erupted in thunderous applause, so deafening that even other people passing by outside couldn't help but feel very curious.

Zhao Wenhao quickly stood up, a look of gratitude on his face, and bowed deeply to everyone to express his sincere gratitude.

However, his small action seemed to have lit a fuse, causing the already enthusiastic applause to reach a climax again, with each wave higher than the last, and it did not stop for a long time.

In this way, the applause lasted for more than a minute before gradually subsiding.

Zhou Xian had a smile on his face and waved to everyone, indicating that they should sit down.

In his eyes, as long as Hengyuan Electronics agreed to the acquisition, everything else was just trivial details and was completely unimportant.

The government's aim is to shed its heavy burdens and travel light.

As for other aspects, as long as certain concessions can be made and they are not excessive, they can all be negotiated.

After all, it is not so easy to make a horse run fast without letting it eat grass.

"Mr. Zhao, if you have any conditions, please feel free to put them forward. We are sitting here today to solve the problem."

Zhou Xian waved his hand generously, showing an open-minded attitude.

"I am very grateful for Governor Zhou's understanding and support. I would like to state my position here: Hengyuan Electronics will fully cover the pensions and medical expenses of all retired employees of the Provincial Television Factory. There will be absolutely no discounts."

Zhao Wenhao seized the opportunity and showed his sincerity again.

Zhou Xian was very satisfied and looked at the other person with a smile.

"However, we need to be selective with our employees. As far as I know, some of them came here when the provincial TV factory was doing well and just wanted to get by. We cannot accept people like them."

Zhao Wenhao changed the subject and immediately raised a sharp question.
