"That's possible, but the Xiao family's business isn't just a small amount. After all, we have acquired a lot of companies during this period. If we acquire more …" Cen Jiajin hesitated before saying.
"Haha, Director Cen, don't worry. The Xiao family is losing money every day. They can't hold on any longer. What good price can they ask for? Besides, if we don't acquire them, they will go bankrupt. There's nothing else! " The assistant analyzed, "And the price is cheap. Director Cen, you can talk to the family. I believe the family will increase the investment. This will also show your ability!"
"Hmm … What you said makes sense." Cen Jiajin was tempted. Indeed, the investment to acquire the Xiao family would not be small. But he had the Cen family as his backing! By then, it would be his credit. His authority in the family would increase!
Previously, he only planned to use the existing funds. After all, the funds he brought from the family to develop Songning were running out. He wanted to use it accordingly. But after listening to the assistant, he was enlightened.
In fact, although Cen Jiajin received a comprehensive education in a real family, it was his first time doing business alone. It was inevitable that there were many unexpected things.
"This is all thanks to Director Cen's good leadership! Oh yeah, when are we going to talk to the Xiao family? "The assistant couldn't wait. It would be good for him to settle this matter.
"Let's do it this way. Investigate again and see if they are really at the end of their rope. We have to wait until they can't hold on any longer. Then we can take them down in one fell swoop!" Cen Jiajin ordered.
"No problem!" Although the assistant said so, it was harder than ascending to heaven for him to investigate the Xiao family's situation. They were all experienced people. They had tried to bribe a few people from the Xiao family to investigate the internal situation, but they didn't succeed.
Moreover, the assistant was eager for quick results. He didn't dare to tell Cen Jiajin that he failed to bribe the opponent. He could only rely on his own subjective judgment to guess the opponent's situation.
Of course, he also asked Wang Jinbrick to find a few gangsters to investigate. The result was the same as his guess. The Xiao family's business was deserted!
In actual fact, those hoodlums didn't even go. They took the money and went to enjoy themselves. It wasn't easy for them to come over from the Black Crows Gang's headquarters and become a big shot. Shouldn't they hurry and enjoy themselves? Who would have the time to do the work of a private detective?
When Wang Jinbrick gave his orders, the gangsters also followed his orders. In the end, the outer members received a salary of two and a half strings. Who would take it seriously?
As a result, it caused the assistant to make a serious error in judgment. Of course, it was also related to his desire for grandiose achievements.
Three days later, Cen's Holdings issued a joint statement, deciding to fully acquire the Xiao family's assets!
Of course, this was also after Cen Jiajin had received confirmation from his subordinates that his hotel was indeed overcrowded, and his store's goods were indeed in short supply. With these two premises, Cen Jiajin was instantly filled with confidence!
As far as he was concerned, as long as he bought over the Xiao family's hotel and shopping center and restored the original price, he would be able to make a lot of money and earn back all his previous investments.
All the major mainstream media in Songning City were reporting this shocking news for a while! Of course, these were all gossips in the streets. The ones who were most shocked were the aristocratic families.
Including the Xiao family, Xie family, and Yue family, they were all shocked!
Since when did the Xiao family's business become so bleak? When did they agree to let the Cen family acquire it? What was this all about!
In the Xiao family's living room, Xiao Hai, Yue Nan, and Xie Huang sat together. Beside them were Xiao Chen and Xiao Xiao. Originally, Xiao Chen didn't want to participate in this kind of meeting, but he was dragged in to make up the numbers. Yue Shaoqun sat on the other side of Xiao Chen, looking a little excited.
It wasn't because of the meeting, but because he was excited to be able to sit together with Xiao Chen.
"Is the Cen family crazy? Releasing this news out of nowhere? What does everyone think? " Xiao Hai seemed very angry because this news was released by the Cen family alone. They didn't contact the Xiao family beforehand, and they didn't reach any consensus. How could Xiao Hai not be angry?
"Yes, this situation is very disadvantageous to the Xiao family, especially those who don't know the truth. They will be wary of the Xiao family's businesses!" Xie Huang nodded and said, "Take the hotel industry for example. Those who have been there are fine, but those who haven't will think, if it's going to close down and be acquired, will they still clean the rooms? Will their service attitude be good? "
"Yes, it's the same for the stores. At that time, everyone will think, are we selling expired products without after-sales protection? Anyway, when the time comes, they will be acquired by a new boss. Who knows, they might not even recognize the old products! " Yue Nan also nodded and said, "However, I think this is the effect that the Cen family wants. The acquisition might be fake, and the purpose is to attack us."
"Now that you put it that way, it might be possible!" Xiao Hai nodded. If this was a business attack, then it could explain why the Cen family didn't have any news about it, nor did they contact the Xiao family before releasing such a heavy bomb.
"I think, we can only deal with the changes by staying the same." Xie Huang said, "After all, in this situation, we can't do anything. If we come forward to refute the rumors, people will say that we are trying to cover up! Nowadays, many business acquisitions will not admit it until the last moment. Instead, they will try their best to deny it. This way, regardless of whether the acquisition is successful or not, they will be in an invincible position. On the contrary, the acquiring party doesn't care. The higher the profile, the better. Even if it doesn't succeed, it's not a big deal. "
"Yes, and we can't say that we want to counter-acquire the Cen family's businesses. If we do, people will think that we are crazy." Yue Nan sighed.
"Xiao Chen, what do you think?" Xiao Hai had a headache, so he looked at Xiao Chen.
"In my opinion, counter-acquisition is fine too. This Cen family of Zhenwu is so annoying, we might as well just acquire them." Xiao Chen didn't understand business operations, so he just said whatever he thought.
Xiao Hai couldn't say anything about Xiao Chen, and Xie Huang couldn't say anything either. However, Yue Nan and Xiao Chen didn't have much of a relationship, so he wanted to explain to Xiao Chen. If he did that, it would become a war of words, and others would only look down on him.
However, before Yue Nan could speak, Yue Shaoqun slammed the table and shouted, "Yes, let's buy them! How dare he challenge Brother Xiao, I'll scratch him to death! "
"…" Yue Nan looked at his problematic child and could only shut his mouth. If he said anything, it would mean that the father and son didn't get along, and that would be a bigger problem.
The meeting basically set the tone for the time being, which was to ignore everything and run their own business. After a long time, the rumors about the Cen family would collapse on their own! Although there might be some impact on the business during this period, the impact wouldn't be huge!
Because the Cen family's hotel near the Xiao family's hotel had been booked by the Xiao family's employees, and the goods in the store were all sold out. So basically, if the customers didn't come, the Xiao family had nowhere to go. They could only go to places further away.
However, something that Xiao Chen, or the Xiao family, the Xie family, and the Yue family didn't expect happened!
On this day, when Xiao Chen had just woken up, and Xiao Xiao hadn't woken up yet, there was a hurried knock on the door!
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned and asked, "Who is it? What's the matter? "
"Xiao Chen, it's your second uncle. Open the door!" The voice of his second uncle, Xiao Hai, came from outside the door.
Xiao Chen was shocked. He could hear that his second uncle's tone was very hurried. He and Xiao Xiao slept together every day secretly. They didn't tell the family, and Xiao Hai was also busy with business matters, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Although there was nothing between the two of them, Xiao Xiao was a young lady living in Xiao Chen's villa every day. If this spread out, it would make people's imaginations run wild, especially Xiao Hai!
So, Xiao Chen subconsciously thought that his second uncle had discovered something.
"Open the door! Something's wrong! "Xiao Hai said in an unfriendly tone.
"Alright …" Xiao Chen said. If she died, then so be it. He couldn't explain it even if he wanted to. After Xiao Xiao took a bath last night, she didn't wear any clothes when she went to bed. Although Xiao Chen had been sitting at the side and cultivating, if Xiao Hai found out, would he believe that nothing happened between the two of them?
Xiao Chen had already guessed that his second uncle was probably here to interrogate him. He opened the door with trepidation, "Second uncle, it's so early in the morning …"
"Brother, what's wrong? Who's knocking on the door so early in the morning?" Xiao Xiao was woken up by the noise. She walked out in a daze with a blanket draped over her, yawning. Obviously, she hadn't noticed her father outside the door.
Xiao Hai looked at Xiao Xiao. Actually, from Xiao Xiao's smooth calves, he could tell that she wasn't wearing any clothes under the blanket. Even if she was wearing underwear, Xiao Hai only took a glance and didn't say anything. Instead, he said to Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, there's an emergency that I want to discuss with you. After all, your current status and identity are different from before. You should be the one making the decisions for the Xiao family!"
"What do I have to make the decisions for? What emergency? " Xiao Chen was a little stunned. This wasn't what he had expected. He thought that his second uncle would flip out, especially when Xiao Xiao walked out just now. He subconsciously thought that he was going to die. Just when he was worried, Xiao Hai said such a strange thing.
"It's like this. A person called Cen Jiajin came to the headquarters of the Xiao family group. This person is the person in charge of the Cen family in Songning City. He brought a few subordinates and said that he wanted to discuss the acquisition of our hotel and store …" Xiao Hai said, "Not only that, there were also a lot of news media gathered downstairs. They said that they wanted to interview us. If it wasn't for the security downstairs stopping them, they would have come up!"
"What the hell? Did the Cen family take the wrong medicine? "Xiao Chen only then understood that this had nothing to do with Xiao Xiao. It was the Cen family's doing! Xiao Chen suddenly got angry. Damn it, this Cen Jiajin and his son are not good people. Doing this in the morning, this guy scared me!
