Chapter 36: Just Acquire It at the Listed Price

The young employees might not be much of an issue, but the key is that there are quite a few older employees in the company with families to support. If they were to suddenly become unemployed and lose their source of income, how would they live in the future?

Although he could provide some compensation, it wouldn't be a long-term solution!

…

The next day,

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Innovation Building.

"General Manager Chen, we have arrived."

Yang Dahai parked the car in the Innovation Building's parking lot, got out, and opened the door.

"Hmm!"

Chen Mo nodded and stepped out.

Not far away,

Tang Qiu also parked her car and walked over, looking at Chen Mo with a strange expression.

She had left first at the coffee shop yesterday and hadn't noticed that Chen Mo had a dedicated driver picking him up.

She remembered that when he acquired the Garment factory, the other party didn't even have a car.

Now, not only did he buy a car, he had actually hired a full-time driver.

And a full-time assistant.

Those who knew him knew he was the boss of a small Garment factory.

Those who didn't would think he was the boss of a large corporation.

This General Manager Chen was not only wasteful, but he also really knew how to enjoy life.

"Attorney Tang, this is the place, right?"

Chen Mo looked up at the office building directly in front of him.

"Yes, this is it. Their company is on the 11th floor. Let's go up."

Tang Qiu also looked up at the office building labeled Innovation Building and confirmed.

…

Innovation Building,

Eleventh floor,

Cangxue Games.

"General Manager Meng, every area has been tidied up. I guarantee it is spotless."

An employee came up to Meng Lei and said quickly.

Meng Lei looked at the environment of the entire company. At this moment, the company was much cleaner than before, and even the employees' workstations had been polished until they shone.

He nodded slowly.

"That's fine. Go back and tell everyone to be energetic today."

"I understand, General Manager Meng."

The employee replied and quickly returned to their workstation.

"Is doing this useful?"

Zheng Hongyun looked at the company, which had been cleaned until it looked brand new, and asked with doubt.

Meng Lei sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"Who knows? But doing a little more is better than doing nothing. At the very least, this can leave a good impression on the acquirer. When we discuss terms later, it might be a little easier."

"I hope so."

Zheng Hongyun hoped, though in his heart, he didn't hold much hope for it.

"Look at the time. They should be arriving. Let's go out and welcome them."

Meng Lei glanced at his watch, realized it was the agreed-upon time, and walked straight out.

He didn't want to leave a bad impression regarding etiquette.

"Hello, are you General Manager Meng Lei?"

Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Tang Qiu saw a person waiting at the elevator entrance who looked somewhat similar to the photo of Meng Lei in the documents, so she asked.

"I am Meng Lei. Are you General Manager Chen?"

Meng Lei nodded, his gaze lingering on Tang Qiu and the others as he asked tentatively.

Among these three, only Tang Qiu looked the most mature; the other man and woman looked too young.

"Oh, this is General Manager Chen. The other person is General Manager Chen's assistant. I am the lawyer hired by General Manager Chen. We were in contact yesterday."

Hearing this, Tang Qiu hurriedly pointed to Chen Mo and introduced them one by one.

"Hahaha, General Manager Chen is truly young and promising. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Meng Lei was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He had never expected that the very young-looking boy was actually General Manager Chen.

He was surprised for a moment,

But he quickly reacted, laughed twice, and hurriedly offered some praise.

Then he introduced himself.

"I am Meng Lei, the General Manager of Cangxue Games. This is Zheng Hongyun, the Deputy General Manager of the company. We founded the company together."

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"

Chen Mo nodded, responded with a smile, and then got straight to the point.

"Let's skip the pleasantries. Let's get down to business regarding the acquisition."

He was here to spend money, not to engage in hypocritical pleasantries.

Meng Lei's smile faded slightly upon hearing this, and his heart sank. This General Manager Chen looked young, but his style of doing things was swift and decisive. He had wanted to exchange a few polite words to build a rapport, but this General Manager Chen didn't give him the chance at all.

Meeting and going straight to the topic—it seemed this General Manager Chen was here to drive the price down to the ground!

A trace of worry welled up in Meng Lei's heart, but on the surface, he still laughed heartily.

"Then let's go back to the company to talk. Follow me."

As he spoke, he began to walk in front to lead the way.

"General Manager Chen, this is our company."

Walking to the company entrance, Meng Lei pointed to the company sign and introduced it.

Walking into the company, he continued to introduce.

"This is the employees' break Room. During breaks, they can come here to drink tea and chat."

Chen Mo took a look at the break Room and found that there were only two glass round tables and a hot water kettle. It was very simple.

He began to calculate in his heart,

Such a break Room was too crude. After taking over, he could install a coffee machine, a snack cabinet, and things like that.

This was good.

It was a place to spend money.

"General Manager Chen, this is the employees' office area."

Meng Lei led them into a relatively large Room, where rows of computers were neatly arranged, and the employees inside were working extremely seriously.

Chen Mo looked at the work environment, and when he saw the employees working extremely seriously, he frowned slightly.

But he quickly relaxed.

Not bad.

With employees working so hard, the company could still lose money. It seems these employees are all talented people.

He must keep them and let them continue to work hard for the company's losses.

And these tables, chairs, and computers were all too old.

It seems they all need to be replaced with new ones.

With good office furniture and computers, employees can have a good mood for work; with a good mood for work, employees can work better, right?

Chen Mo thought secretly. Of course, this was said for the system.

After all, every penny he spent for the company had to have a reasonable excuse; otherwise, it would be judged as a violation by the system.

Looking at these rows of computers, there were at least 30 of them.

According to the previous computer configuration, one unit cost 43,000.

30-plus computers could spend over 1.2 million all at once.

Plus the tables and chairs, it would be enough to spend the remaining 2 million-plus.

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo was in a great mood.

They arrived at the office.

The few sat down in turn.

Meng Lei served the tea he had prepared, handed a cup to each of the three, and then asked cautiously.

"I don't know, how does General Manager Chen want to acquire Cangxue Games?"

"Didn't you list the price at 1.5 million? Just acquire it at the 1.5 million price."

Chen Mo said indifferently.

Meng Lei was stunned upon hearing this. Chen Mo's answer caught him off guard.

He had been calculating in his heart just now how he should respond if the other party tried to lower the price.

But he never expected that the other party wouldn't lower the price at all and was prepared to acquire it directly at the listed price.

He didn't lower the price?

While surprised in his heart, he also let out a sigh of relief.

However, he quickly thought of the employee issue. Could it be that the other party wasn't lowering the price because they intended to make an issue out of the employees?

Thinking of this, he asked with some trepidation.

"Then, General Manager Chen, how do you plan to handle the employee issue?"

For safety, he added one more sentence at the end.

"If General Manager Chen can keep all the employees, I can lower the acquisition price by a portion."
