There were five young men and three women sitting at the next table. They were about the same age as Shirley. The two men were dressed like rich second-generation heirs, and the women were all wearing heavy makeup. When Fang Xiaogang and Xue Li arrived, they saw the three women taking selfies with their phones and heard them teasing each other. Women's looks were like fresh flowers in a flower shop. As soon as Xue Li entered, the three of them felt even more displeased with their unnatural nose bridge and chin.
After Fang Xiaogang and Xue Li sat down, he asked her what she had been doing in America.
"85 Wall Street, Goldmansachs. I studied hedgefund there for a month and a half.”she said.
Fang Zheng pondered over the words and said,"My English isn't good. What do you mean by that?”
She thought for a moment and said again,"Boss, I'm from the investment bank, Goldmans'." I studied hedge-fund there. I'm sorry, but I'll try my best to speak Chinese in the future.”
He smiled and said," It's okay, it's okay. I'm a country bumpkin. If you continue to talk like this in the future, I can still learn a little."”
She laughed and said as she picked up the mutton for Fang Xiaogang,"Boss, you're so funny."
The two men at the next table couldn't help but turn around to look at Jin Xueli. Then, they looked at each other and said," Look at them. What the hell is with the three of us at this table?
"Why do you want to eat mutton hotpot the moment you return to the country?”Fang Xiaogang asked her.
"Not really. Actually, it has something to do with my name. Shirley meant sunshine pasture, so he wanted to eat sheep.”she replied with a smile.
The two of them ate very quickly. In a short while, they finished two catties of mutton and were satisfied. Fang Xiao had just paid the bill. It was 183 yuan, so it was 180 yuan. He paid through WeChat. Shirley took out a beautiful wallet and handed him a hundred yuan.
"I think I said I'm treating." he said awkwardly.
"Oh, I forgot. I'm used to it." She smiled and said,"Why don't you take it? I've already taken it out."”She still held out her hand.
"Alright ~ then." He dragged out his words, took it, and stuffed it into his pocket."Add me on WeChat. I still need your change.”
"Alright ~ then." She imitated his tone and took out her phone to add him on WeChat.
After transferring ten yuan to her, Fang Xiaogang said,"Let's go. Let's go to the hotel."
"Alright ~ then." Xue Li smiled and nodded. They pushed their luggage out of the door.
The speaker was not serious, but the listener was serious. The restaurant owner and the two people at the next table widened their eyes in disbelief.
After taking a taxi to a high-class hotel, Fang Xiao had just returned home. Yang Dan was mobile games on the sofa.
"Honey, I'm amazing. The company sent me a personal secretary from New York.”he said happily.
"So awesome?" "Wait a minute, I'll finish this round."”
"You can play then." I'm going to wash up and sleep."
His wife had forgotten what he had said after the first round, so she played another round. It just so happened that there were two bedrooms. Each person would sleep in one bedroom and not fight with each other.
The next day, Fang Xiaogang wanted to go to work at 8:30 am like the other colleagues, but he always had a 9:00 pm setting in his mind. Unknowingly, he still did not make it to 8:30 am. At 8:42, he entered the glass door.
After greeting ADC, he walked into his office and found that Shirley was already there.
"Good morning, Boss." She sat in her seat and raised her hand to him.
"What time did you arrive?" He asked and turned on his computer.
"You just arrived. How about I make you a cup of coffee to refresh yourself?”She walked over and asked.
" Uh." He didn't reject her, but he was also embarrassed. He was also not used to a beautiful woman making coffee for him, so he was at a loss for words.
"Wait a moment." She instantly understood what he meant and turned to leave.
Along with the coffee, there was a printed report on his desk. It was an analysis of yesterday's CASE that Shirley had done. Some parts of the Chinese wording were a little unclear, but he could still understand what she meant.
If Changjiang Electromechanical was acquired by Jiangnan Electromechanical, which customers would be integrated, which product lines would be abandoned, and the future profit expectations compared to the current equity returns. The more important data calculation process was also written on it. He also had a plan to calculate the cost and which employees to lay off after the personnel changes. It was clear and logical.
Fang Xiaogang felt that he was about to be convinced by this report. Yesterday, he said that he wanted to discuss it with her and exchange opinions. Now, he did not know how to discuss it with her.
"I'll go to the information from yesterday. Call me if you need anything." Seeing that they couldn't discuss it in a short time, she said.
"Alright, I'll take a look." He nodded and continued to study the information. He didn't know how to calculate the data. He closed his eyes and gathered all the information in his mind. What the two companies looked like, what the working atmosphere was like, the names of the customers who placed large orders, the geographical locations of the two companies, which gate the trucks entered from, and the 16% and 47% were all entangled in his mind.
After a long time, as if these entanglements had suddenly been placed in the most reasonable position, he had a flash of inspiration and shouted,"No! I don't think it's a good idea to acquire it.”
Shirley was shocked and walked over to ask,""Why, why can't I buy it?”
"I think we should think of a way to sell the shares of Jiangnan Electromechanical. This company is a hindrance. It has a huge number of employees, and the patents are old. The biggest problem of Changjiang Electromechanical was the sales and purchasing section chiefs who had pocketed the money. One was the brother-in-law of the factory manager, and the other was the cousin of the factory manager. If these two people were not eliminated, Changjiang Electromechanical would fall even faster.”
"After the acquisition, these two people can be fired. After the customer sharing, Changjiang Electromechanical's customer base will be much wider. Moreover, if we hold 47% of Changjiang Electromechanical's shares and are acquired, our total shares in Jiangnan Electromechanical can reach between 29% and 32%.”Shirley immediately gave a different opinion after listening carefully.
"The problem lies in the geographical location of the equipment, and the production line of Changjiang Electromechanical is a one-time installation that cannot be moved. Their employees were basically middle-aged people who had established their families in the local area. Most of them were not willing to abandon their families for work.”
"We originally planned to retain the production capacity of Changjiang Electromechanical. Most of the employees will still work in the original factory, and the production line will not change.”
Fang Xiaogang was at a loss for words. He frowned and touched his hair."I can't remember it at the moment. There's a key point…there's a key point that doesn't support the acquisition.”
Jin Xueli shrugged and went back to translate her information.
"Shirley, do I need to write down all kinds of reasons for giving a consultant's opinion?”he asked.
"Yes, we're just giving our opinions for reference. If we don't have a clear reason, the branch company won't listen to us at all. We have to use reasons to convince them.”
"Is there a deadline for submitting this opinion?”he asked again.
"Yes, these two mechatronics cases…submit them before noon the day after tomorrow.”she said.
"What about the deadline for the other two?”
"One is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. The one I'm in the process of Chinese translation is before I get off work this Friday, which is before 5 pm the day after tomorrow.”She looked at the information and replied.
"Yes, I'll think of another reason and submit my opinion before work ends today. Anyway, I insist on not buying it. It's best to sell Jiangnan Electromechanical's shares. This is my final opinion.”he said.
"Alright, boss. I'll listen to you. However, there had to be a sufficient reason.”she said.
Fang Xiaogang poked his head out from the screen and looked at Xue Li. He smiled and said,"You're so charming when you speak English.”
She returned his smile with narrowed eyes.
Fang Xiaogang asked for the electronic file of the report that Shirley had given him. He then added a few long sections of text describing the reasons for rejecting the acquisition and asked her to polish it.
"Your words are so hard to understand.”Shirley said as she looked at the text.
"Don't you understand? What I mean is that the greatest value of Changjiang Electromechanical is their factory manager who started from scratch, but his start-up capital was put together by his family, so his brother-in-law and cousin held important positions in the company. Moreover, they are greedy inside. Even our unit, which is so far away, knows about it. How can the factory manager not know? He had no choice. Therefore, we should use our shares to help their factory manager, or directly sue those two people, then settle out of court and let them leave voluntarily. That's better. Forget about Jiangnan Electromechanical. Just give up. If we merge, there will be unclear equity relationships. In the end, we will only have less than one-third of the shares. Why bother?”
Shirley pinched her forehead and said," The company only asked us to decide whether to support the merger or not. If we simply don't support it, how are we going to solve the problem between the two companies?" The follow-up opinions you mentioned are not within our scope of responsibility.”
"It is my duty to give the most appropriate opinion. You can polish it according to my idea and submit it in the afternoon.”
Shirley nodded and went back to work. He started looking for a house for her online.
"Do you want to cook?" he asked.
"Ah?" She was buried in her work and didn't understand what he meant.
"I mean, are you going to cook in the house you found?”
"Oh, I don't know how to cook. I don't have time either." She looked up and smiled." Are you helping me find a house?" she asked.”
"That's right. What is the company's policy for you? How much do I pay you a month?"
"If I want to save money for the company, I can stay in a five-star hotel. The main company has hotels all over the world. I want to live outside at my own expense and experience the life of this city. Just like last night's dinner, It was amazing.”she said with a smile.
The head office is so powerful? "Are you living outside on your own?" he asked her. How much is it?"
"As long as it's convenient, the price doesn't matter.”
"You're so rich. How much is your salary?”he asked curiously.
She smiled and said,"Your question is a little disrespectful." I refuse to answer."
"Alright, I'll pick the most expensive one for you. You'll die of poverty."
He had his eyes on a few beautifully decorated houses near the company and had made an appointment with two agencies to look at the houses at 6:30 p. m. It was almost lunchtime. Suddenly, Fang Xiaogang's phone rang. He saw that an old friend was calling.
"Hello? Wayne, why did you call me?”
"You're working in the city center now, right?”
"That's right. It's the second day."
"New job? Treat me to a meal."
"Sure, where are you?"
"It's nearby. When are you coming down?”
"A little over 11:30."
"See you downstairs."
After hanging up, he asked Shirley,"Do you want to have dinner together?"”
"You have a date with a friend, right?"
"Yeah, let's go together?"
She thought for a moment and said,"It's fine if it doesn't affect me."”
"It's my treat today. Don't split the bill anymore.”he said.
When they reached the lobby of the office building, Fang Xiaogang's friend, Wayne, was already there. Wayne was very tall. He was carrying a hiking bag and was dressed in work clothes. He looked at the beautiful woman beside his old friend in surprise.
"This is Wang Yiwei, he's an electrical engineer.”he introduced to Xue Li.
" Hello." She extended her hand to Wayne. He hurriedly wiped his right palm on his clothes before shaking her hand. "I'm Mr. Fang's private secretary, Shirley.”she said.
"Hello, hello. Why does he need a secretary in your company?”he asked in surprise.
"Do you know about the senior consultant? Do you understand? What do you want to eat?" Fang Xiaogang said angrily.
"Then we can only eat the high-class dishes.”he said.
The Jianghu Restaurant in Chongqing was actually not a high-class restaurant. It was located at the entrance of a residential area that was relatively close to the city. Xue Li was also quite good at eating spicy food. She wasn't afraid of the laifeng fish and spring water chicken filled with red chili peppers. She just ate until she was sweating.
"Delicious, so spicy." she said cheerfully, blowing her nose into a napkin.
"You already have a secretary. How much do you earn in a month?”Wayne asked.
"Your question is a little, Shirley. What word is it again?”Fang Xiaogang said with a smile.
“discourtesy。”she said as she gasped.
"Yes, a little. discourtesy。”
"What do you mean?" Wayne asked.
"It's just impolite." Fang Xiaogang said.
Wayne blew his beard and glared at her.”
"About 200,000 a month."
He was stunned for a moment and said,"F * ck, we entered the wrong restaurant." You ordered too few dishes. I was wondering why you were so generous today. No, I want to drink another bottle of Wong Lao Ji.”
Fang Xiaogang said,"Take a few more bottles when you leave."”
Wayne said,"So you have money to play mahjong now?"”
He shook his head and said," I don't have time. Do you think money falls from the sky? I'm very busy."”
"F * ck, as long as you give me one-tenth of your salary, I'll do it no matter how busy I am.”
"Alright, I'm going back to work after eating. After hearing what you said, I feel like I'm letting Boss down by staying here for even a minute longer.”Fang Xiaogang said.
"Your boss must be stupid.”He pursed his lips.
"Pa!" With a crisp sound, Xue Li slammed her chopsticks on the table, startling Wang Yiwei.
When the two men looked at her, she said awkwardly,"Sorry, I'm full."
