1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 311 An exciting moment

"Yes, may I ask who you are..."

Yu Yingwen asked.

"My name is Bao Chengying. I'm also in the clothing business and I want to acquire your factory."

The man on the other end of the phone continued.

At this time, Xu Yuexin walked into the room.

Yu Yingwen understood and turned on the speakerphone, but the man on the other end of the phone was still talking.

"That's right. My factory is currently looking to expand its business in southern China, and I think an acquisition would save more time than starting from scratch."

"I saw your company's brand from an advertiser and asked a friend about it. I found that your company is doing very well."

"So I wanted to invite Boss Yu to meet and have a chat."

After the other party finished speaking and stopped, Yu Yingwen looked at Xu Yuexin and had a brief exchange with him with her eyes.

Judging from the look in Yu Yingwen's eyes, she seemed to be planning to refuse.

Xu Yuexin shook his head and reached out to grab the microphone.

Yu Yingwen immediately let go of his hand and let him talk to the person on the other side.

"Hello, Boss Bao, I'm Hongyu's major shareholder, Xu Yuexin."

"Oh, hello, Boss Xu. I just talked to Boss Yu about acquiring your factory..."

The other party repeated what he had just said, and Xu Yuexin listened quietly without interrupting.

What he did just now seemed like eavesdropping, so it was not a good idea to expose it.

"Boss Bao, where are you now?"

After the other party finished speaking, Xu Yuexin asked.

"I'm currently in Guangzhou, so why would Boss Xu have any problem with me?"

"Why don't you come to our factory tomorrow morning? We'll meet at nine o'clock. How about that?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be there on time."

"Well, see you there or see you."

Xu Yuexin hung up the phone after saying this.

"Why are you selling the factory?"

As soon as the phone call ended, Yu Yingwen frowned and asked, "Weren't you focused on expanding your business before?"

“Did I say I was selling it?”

Xu Yuexin sat down beside the bed, looked up and smiled at Yu Yingwen.

"Then why do you want to see him?"

"Get to know the other party and see if you can get some benefits from him."

Xu Yuexin chuckled.

"What do you want to gain from him?"

"Well, have you ever heard of something called betting?"

"On gambling?"

"Yes. Both parties agree on an operating performance target, which can be sales or net profit."

"If we achieve that, they will give us benefits."

"If they can't achieve that, we'll give them benefits."

"Do you understand?"

"Oh... this is what you want."

Yu Yingwen nodded after listening and said, "But the other party is also a businessman, I'm afraid it's not easy to fool him, right?"

"Yes, so the business targets agreed upon by both parties in a bet are usually high and cannot be easily achieved."

“That’s the charm of gambling.”

"Don't lose the factory in a bet."

Yu Yingwen reminded worriedly.

"I'll naturally grasp it."

Xu Yuexin smiled easily.

……

The next day, Xu Yuexin and Yu Yingwen arrived at Hongyu Clothing early and waited for Bao Chengying in the office.

"Hey, Boss Xu, I'm almost at your company."

"About another kilometer."

At around eight o'clock, the office phone rang. Xu Yuexin picked up the phone and heard Bao Chengying's voice on the other end.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to pick up Boss Bao."

Xu Yuexin said, and then sent a manager to wait at the factory gate.

A few minutes later, the manager brought Bao Chengying into the office.

As soon as he saw Xu Yuexin and Yu Yingwen, Bao Chengying immediately smiled friendly and greeted them.

"Let me introduce myself first."

After sitting down, Bao Chengying said confidently, "My factory is called Chengying Clothing, and it's located in Changshu."

"The factory currently has annual sales of 1 million yuan, and has the highest market share in the Yangtze River Delta."

"We are currently planning to expand to Lingnan, so we have come to Mr. Xu and Mr. Yu to ask if you have any plans to sell the factory?"

“Hehe, we haven’t thought about it yet.”

Xu Yuexin smiled harmlessly and said, "To be honest, after receiving a call from Boss Bao last night, Boss Yu and I discussed it all night, but we couldn't reach an agreement."

"That's it, then..."

Bao Chengying stared at Xu Yuexin, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"So how about this, we sign a bet agreement."

Xu Yuexin said calmly, "Set a turnover figure. If our factory does not reach this figure next year, then Boss Bao can buy shares in our company."

"What if I answer?"

Bao Chengying asked.

“That’s the company we invested in, Mr. Bao.”

"Oh, that's how it is."

Bao Chengying stared at Xu Yuexin and nodded slightly.

This young man in front of me has some ideas.

He actually tried to get involved in his own company.

Should I continue chatting with him?

Bao Chengying fell into deep thought.

If a bet agreement is really signed, then there will be both benefits and risks for him.

Once successful, he could naturally acquire shares in Hongyu Clothing and expand into the South China market effortlessly.

If you fail, you may not even be able to preserve your original foundation.

Bao Chengying thought about this for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the temptation to take over Hongyu Clothing.

"Boss Xu, could you please be more specific? What are the terms of the bet?"

Bao Chengying asked with a deep gaze.

"It's simple. If our turnover can reach 8000 million next year, we can use 1000 million to acquire 66.7% of Chengying Clothing's shares."

"If that is not achieved, Mr. Bao can use 400 million yuan to acquire 66.7% of Hongyu Clothing's shares."

"66.7%, right?"

Bao Chengying took a deep breath inwardly.

This ratio means that if he loses the bet, he will lose control of the factory.

The consequences are a bit too serious.

"The target of 8000 million is too low."

After much thought, Bao Chengying decided to reduce the risk on his side. "You are advertising non-stop now, so the sales growth must be very strong."

"If I sign an agreement like this with you, I will definitely lose."

"Oh? So what does Mr. Bao mean?"

"Two hundred million. If I can achieve two hundred million, I will admit defeat."

"On the other hand, if you can't make 200 million, you lose."

Bao Chengying said firmly.

Upon seeing this, Yu Yingwen immediately voiced her opposition.

“Isn’t a goal of 2 million a bit too much?”

"Boss Bao, your family is big and your business is huge, but your annual sales are only 1 million."

She was already worried about the bet agreement.

Seeing that Bao Chengying offered such conditions, she felt that she really needed to express her position.

"Since it's a bet agreement, we can't let you complete it so easily, right?"

Bao Chengying spread his hands and said.

"Two hundred million is two hundred million." Xu Yuexin made the decision, "Boss Bao, let's study the contract."

Yu Yingwen was stunned by him.

Does he really have the confidence to achieve such a large turnover?

Maybe he didn't sleep well last night and his mind is not clear.

Thinking of this, Yu Yingwen couldn't help but kick Xu Yuexin lightly under the table.

Xu Yuexin turned a blind eye to this and continued talking to Bao Chengying.

Yu Yingwen couldn't help it, and stood up anxiously: "I have something to talk to Mr. Xu about."

"Well, I'll go out first."

Bao Chengying stood up and said very tactfully.

In his opinion, there was no way Xu Yuexin could achieve the sales target of 2 million.

In Bao Chengying's eyes, Hongyu Clothing is a big piece of fat meat that is about to fall into his mouth.

He had to get this piece of fat into his mouth.

"Please come in, Mr. Bao."

Xu Yuexin asked Bao Chengying to leave the office, then turned around, closed the door, and looked at Yu Yingwen.

"Sales of 2 million are too high. There is no way we can achieve it."

"I don't agree with you taking a risk with Hongyu that you can't possibly win and ruining our business!"

Yu Yingwen was very excited when she finished speaking, her plump breasts rose and fell, and her eyes were filled with anger.

"Don't worry."

Xu Yuexin walked up to Yu Yingwen and comforted her softly, "I am confident that I can win."

"Win? What do you win with?"

Yu Yingwen questioned.

Xu Yuexin then leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Yu Yingwen was stunned when she heard this, and then she showed a skeptical expression.

"Is this really possible?"

"No problem, you can listen to me."

Xu Yuexin continued to lower his voice and said, "Let's continue talking to him."

After saying that, Xu Yuexin walked to the door, opened the office door, and invited Bao Chengying, who was strolling in the corridor, in.

"We just discussed something."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Bao."

After entering the door, Xu Yuexin said politely.

"Haha, that's not true. It's normal for partners to discuss such a big matter."

Bao Chengying said with a smile and returned to his seat at his desk.

Then, Xu Yuexin called a clerk and asked her to take notes while he talked to Bao Chengying about the specific terms of the gambling agreement.

……

In the afternoon, the two finally finished their discussion and signed the gambling contract.

Next year, if Hongyu Clothing’s sales can reach 2 million, Xu Yuexin will be able to acquire 1000% of Chengying Clothing’s shares at a low price of 66.7 million.

Otherwise, Bao Chengying would buy the shares of Hongyu Clothing at a low price.

The contract also specifically states that Bao Chengying only recognizes sales revenue via bank transfers and does not recognize cash payments, because cash payments are easy to forge.

Xu Yuexin understood that this was the insurance that Bao Chengying had taken out for him, so he did not object and allowed him to include this clause in the contract.

"Bao Chengying's conditions are very harsh."

After the other party left, Yu Yingwen frowned in the office and said, "Even with your guarantee, I still don't think it's stable enough."

"It's pretty stable, right?"

"Stable? Then let me ask you, what do you mean by not accepting cash payments?"

"Train the salesmen and ask them to ask for bank transfers whenever possible."

"You think too simply. Some places are geographically remote and can only be paid in cash. What can you do?"

"It's not a big problem."

Xu Yuexin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this little thing."

Is this a small matter?
Yu Yingwen looked at Xu Yuexin with dissatisfaction. She felt that Xu Yuexin was too generous.

That night, Xu Yuexin made a long-distance call to Minako who was far away in Tokyo.

After learning about the child's situation from her, Xu Yuexin learned that Minako's career was currently flourishing and she had expanded the inherited assets several times.

"I want to tell you something."

After Minako finished speaking, Xu Yuexin made his request and said, "I am running a clothing factory and I need your help."

"Oh, what's the deal?"

"It's like this, I signed a gambling agreement with someone..."

Xu Yuexin told Minako what happened during the day, and finally expressed his hope that she could help with some sales.

“It’s so easy.”

After hearing what Xu Yuexin said, Minako smiled and said on the phone, "I will just order 200 million worth of clothing directly from you."

Her statement gave Xu Yuexin a reassurance.

"It doesn't have to be so obvious."

Xu Yuexin said, "The other party might get suspicious."

"Just do as I say. You just need to make up the difference in the final turnover."

"Ok, no problem."

Minako agreed immediately.

After ending the call, Xu Yuexin lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and began to think about the wonderful picture of taking over Chengying Clothing next year.

……

Time flies, and it is already 1985.

In September, Hongyu Clothing's sales reached 1.5 million yuan, which had completed three-quarters of the sales in the gambling agreement, of which 1.1 million yuan was transferred through bank transfer.

"We sell summer clothes, and there won't be much sales in the next three months."

In the factory office, Yu Yingwen looked at the financial statements and said with a heavy heart, "Will your friend really help us?"

"Will do."

Xu Yuexin said, "I'll just tell her tonight."

That night, he contacted Minako and expressed his hope that she could order a batch of clothes.

Minako readily agreed on the phone and promised to help Xu Yuexin solve the problem as quickly as possible.

……

Two days later, a sales director from a subsidiary of Minai came to Hongyu Clothing and asked Yu Yingwen to place an order of 100 million yuan worth of clothing.

Yu Yingwen was pleasantly surprised and immediately agreed and signed the contract with the other party.

The sales director was quite straightforward. After signing the contract, he directly transferred 1 million yuan to Hongyu Clothing's account and declined Yu Yingwen's invitation to stay for dinner.

Yu Yingwen was so happy that she almost fainted.

As soon as she saw off the sales director, she called Xu Yuexin who was still sleeping in.

"Hey, someone just came to the factory and placed an order for 1 million worth of goods."

"We've completed the bet!"

Yu Yingwen said excitedly on the phone, her voice almost crying.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Yuexin was just woken up by the ringing phone and yawned lazily.

"Oh, I see. I'll get some sleep first."

"I'll come find you when I wake up."

After saying this, Xu Yuexin was about to hang up the phone and return to the embrace of his quilt and pillow.

"Come over right away."

Just as he was about to hang up, Yu Yingwen's voice came from the receiver, "I have something to tell you."

harm.

There's nothing you can do about this woman.

Helplessly, Xu Yuexin had to agree, got up, dressed, washed his face, and went to the factory.

When he drove to the factory gate, Yu Yingwen was already standing there waiting.

"Your friend is really strong."

As soon as Xu Yuexin got out of the car, Yu Yingwen exclaimed, "One hundred million worth of goods, they placed the order right away without blinking an eye."

"We can consider having a showdown with Bao Chengying."

"Well, call him over."

Xu Yuexin nodded and said, "I have his phone number saved here."

"Beep, beep."

A moment later, Xu Yuexin dialed the number left by Bao Chengying, ready to welcome the exciting moment.
