I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 678 A 47-ton gold mine! Chen Yansen: Yes! We bought a university!

Wang Shaoyang stayed at the inspection station until 10:30 p.m. before walking out the door with Yao Chuanbo, three Kuaipao deliverymen, two Kuaipao hotel ground promotion managers, and a Kuaidi Dache full-time driver.

Having lived for over twenty years, this was his first time visiting this place.

As a result, he was bailed out by his lawyer in less than three hours.

He didn't want to stay at the inspection station any longer; he was just impressed by how quickly the company had acted.

The reason it went so smoothly was twofold: firstly, Senlian Capital is a major taxpayer in Shanghai and has considerable influence; secondly, the incident was started by the wonton shop employee, who was in the right!
Ultimately, even if they have to take responsibility, the worst that can happen is they have to pay some money.

Moreover, the big boss has long said that as long as it is within the reasonable and legal scope, the company will be the strongest support for every employee.

Wang Shaoyang had seen similar news reports before, but he didn't believe them completely at the time. Now he understands: if something goes wrong, the company will really be in trouble!
"See you tomorrow, Brother Yao."

Wang Shaoyang rode the electric scooter specially customized for Kuaipao delivery riders by Orange Enterprises and called out to Yao Chuanbo.

"I didn't get enough barbecue today, let's have more tomorrow night, it's on me!"

Yao Chuanbo patted his chest and said.

He really didn't expect that Wang Shaoyang, a college student, would be so fierce in a fight.

In his original impression, college students were mostly timid and bookish nerds.

After all, a few days ago when I was browsing Douyin, I saw that some schools were not allowing students to order takeout, and even threw students' takeout on the ground, but no one dared to stand up and resist.

“My treat!” Wang Shaoyang replied with a smile.

……

……

The next day.

Luzhou, Dashu District, Chairman's Office of Guanghua College.

"You'll give it to him just because he wants it?"

Zhang Guoding retorted in a muffled voice.

"If he wants it, would Mr. Meng dare refuse? Didn't you see the news?"

Tao Jingwen sat upright in a mahogany chair, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. After the aroma of tea lingered on her tongue, she casually asked a question.

news?

Zhang Guoding swallowed hard, recalling the short video from that morning.

Chen Yansen and Mr. Han rode in the same car and then entered the Yanjing International Conference Center.

This is a treatment that ordinary business people can't enjoy!
But he didn't want to sell the school!
Guanghua's total revenue last year was 3.3 million, and this revenue mainly came from tuition and accommodation fees.

After deducting the salaries and benefits of teaching and administrative staff, campus maintenance and operating costs, fixed asset depreciation, marketing and promotion expenses, and related taxes, its net profit reached 1.4 million yuan, with a net profit margin of approximately 42%.

What kind of school is this?

It's clearly a golden hen that lays eggs!
Senlian Capital may be wealthy and well-connected, but it can't force a sale, can it?
However, Tao Jingwen not only came to the scene in person, but also made it clear that her trip represented Meng Yuanzhi's decision.

He knew in his heart that if he didn't give them face now, he would probably have a hard time establishing himself in Huian in the future.

"What price is Senlian Capital willing to offer?"

Zhang Guoding asked with utmost sincerity.

"Are you worried that Chen Yansen can't afford the price?" Tao Jingwen put down her teacup and said nonchalantly.

Orange Education Technology acquired 14 private kindergartens in Luzhou in just a few days, a speed that is astonishing.

"However, I must remind you, Senlian Capital is not a fat sheep to be slaughtered without any foundation. If you dare to ask for an exorbitant price, hehe."

Tao Jingwen sneered.

Although he didn't say the second half of the sentence explicitly, Zhang Guoding understood it.

Everyone knows Chen Yansen's nickname – "He who holds a grudge and seeks revenge!"
Back then, Ele.me simply used the valuation quote given by Senlian Capital to negotiate with Ali and Tencent to raise the price, but Chen Yansen completely crushed it.

If he offended the other party, no one could say for sure whether Chen Yansen would turn around and retaliate against him.

"Secretary Tao, I have no problem selling the school to Orange Education, but the Central Office has to help me get another piece of land approved. I want to start from scratch."

Zhang Guoding thought for a moment and then said.

nonsense!

Why give up running a university when it's so profitable?

Upon hearing this, Tao Jingwen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

Seeing Tao Jingwen nod, Zhang Guoding finally felt half relieved.

He immediately replied, "Secretary Tao is so kind! With your words, I feel much more at ease. Don't worry, once the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection approves the land, I will immediately sign the transfer contract with Orange Education. I will not delay Mr. Meng's important business."

Tao Jingwen glanced at him and scoffed, "You mean, you want Mr. Meng and Mr. Chen to wait a little longer?"

Don't let his low position fool you; he's just a secretary.

But Meng Yuanzhi was standing behind him!
Looking across the entire Luzhou region, there are very few people who dare to disrespect him.

Zhang Guoding's expression froze, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hand to explain, "Secretary Tao, you misunderstood! What I meant was that the signing of the transfer contract and the land auction would be carried out simultaneously."

"Do you think buying land is like buying vegetables? You can just pick it up the moment you see it? No matter how fast the central government's process is, it still requires reviewing materials, conducting on-site inspections, and holding meetings and discussions. The whole process takes at least half a month and sometimes up to a month. Do you expect Orange Education to wait a month for you?"

Tao Jingwen asked unhappily.

Although Zhang Guoding has a powerful background and a considerable network of connections, he is far from being able to compete with Meng Yuanzhi.

Zhang Guoding was speechless when asked the question.

He wasn't without a response; what truly silenced him was his apprehension about Tao Jingwen's status as the boss.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Guoding forced a stiff smile again: "Secretary Tao is right, I didn't think it through! How about this, I'll arrange for the legal team to connect with Orange Education today and sign a letter of intent for transfer as soon as possible. We can discuss the details about the school's asset inventory and the resettlement of teachers and students later."

As for the new land plot, I will communicate with the central government myself. It will absolutely not delay Orange Education's future plans. What do you think?

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashed across Tao Jingwen's eyes.

He was known as "Little Tao" or "Jingwen" by Meng Yuanzhi, but outside, everyone had to respectfully address him as Secretary Tao or Mr. Tao.

Seeing that Zhang Guoding was so understanding, he didn't want to put the other party in a difficult position, so he softened his tone and said, "I will help you contact the Land Association regarding the educational land you want, and they will give you a choice."

"Then thank you very much, Secretary Tao," Zhang Guoding quickly replied.

"Tomorrow morning at 10:00, I will notify the people from Senlian Capital and Orange Education to come over for discussions and to verify Guanghua's assets and liabilities. Principal Zhang, I have noted this matter down."

Tao Jingwen said slowly and deliberately.

The implication was that he owed Zhang Guoding a favor.

Upon hearing the words "I've remembered it," Zhang Guoding felt a surge of joy.

He knew the weight of Tao Jingwen's words. If he could earn the gratitude of those around Meng Yuanzhi, his future in the education circle of Luzhou would naturally be smooth sailing.

Thinking of this, he quickly got up, personally poured Tao Jingwen a cup of hot tea, and said gratefully, "I'll have someone prepare all the materials right away, so as not to delay the negotiations!"

Tao Jingwen didn't say anything more, picked up her briefcase, and got up to leave.

Zhang Guoding breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person onto the car.

Then, he took out his phone and called the CFO, ordering in a stern voice, "Compile all the financial data for the past three years and submit it to me by nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If there's even the slightest mistake, you can forget about being the CFO!"

"Okay, boss, I understand." The CFO was confused, but since the boss had spoken, he could only do as he was told.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Guoding returned to his office and looked at the 2013 financial statement on his desk, his finger hovering over the line "Net profit 1.4 million".

Although he was reluctant to part with it, he understood that in exchange for Tao Jingwen's favor and a prime piece of land, this deal was not a loss.

He sighed, folded the asset list and put it in the drawer, then took out a yellowed document from the safe.

That was the operating license he had when he first took over Guanghua College ten years ago.

“Out with the old, in with the new,” he muttered to himself, putting the license back in the safe and turning to press the intercom: “Come to my office.”

A few minutes later, the vice principal knocked on the door and came in, carrying a stack of documents.

Zhang Guoding pointed to the chair opposite him: "Sit down! Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, people from Senlian Capital and Orange Education will come to verify the asset data of Guanghua College. You need to organize all the property ownership certificates, land use certificates, equipment purchase contracts, admission brochures for the past three years, and student academic records, file them by category, and send them to my office before nine o'clock."

The vice principal was startled upon hearing this, then suddenly realized: "Boss, you're going to sell Guanghua?"

“Meng Yuanzhi sent Tao Jingwen as an intermediary. The buyer is Chen Yansen from Senlian Capital. If he wants it, do you think I would dare to refuse?”

Zhang Guoding chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He paused and then said, "Fortunately, this deal wasn't a loss, and it also helped me build a good relationship with Senlian Capital. In the future, since we'll both be in Luzhou, they might even offer me some more help."

I'm planning to open another private school. Want to come with me?

The vice principal's breath hitched, first in surprise, then with an expression of understanding.

He spent eight years at Guanghua College, rising from the initial director of the Academic Affairs Office to the vice president, and witnessed Zhang Guoding transform this little-known private college into a "cash cow" with annual net profits exceeding 100 million yuan.

He always thought that even if Zhang Guoding retired in the future, he would pass Guanghua down as a family business to the next generation, but he never thought that one day he would hear the word "sell".

But when he thought about the buyer's identity, he suddenly realized what was going on.

“Boss, I’ll go with you. Wherever you go, I’ll follow.” The vice principal replied immediately without the slightest hesitation.

As the saying goes, there is one emperor and one courtier.

In his view, following Zhang Guoding was a safer option.

If they stay, their official income might increase, but their private income might disappear.

He had thought very clearly about how to choose.

Zhang Guoding smiled slightly, very satisfied with the vice principal's performance.

To get back on his feet and rebuild, a reliable team is essential for him.

In addition, he needs to prepare in advance for the application for school operating qualifications, and the reserve of teachers and the accumulation of teaching equipment resources also need to be put on the agenda.

The next morning.

Representatives from Senlian Capital, Orange Education, Luzhou Central Company, and Guanghua College gathered together to formally discuss the acquisition price, delivery method, and settlement cycle.

In no time, all sorts of rumors spread like wildfire.

Initially, these messages only spread quietly among the faculty and staff.

But not long after, one of the teachers accidentally let it slip, and it quickly spread among the students.

"Brother Sen is going to buy our school!"

"Is this fake news? What would a private, third-tier university like us need to buy it for?"

"It should be true. Think about it, Orange Education has already acquired so many kindergartens, and I heard they are applying for primary and secondary school operating licenses. It's quite normal for them to buy a university now."

"So, does that mean we'll be considered Sen's students from now on? When we graduate, could you help us find jobs? I don't have high expectations; I just need to work at Orange Technology and earn 30,000 yuan a month."

"Isn't the work easy? Yunsu, Kuaipao, and Orange Mobile Phone Factory are all short of people. You'll be guaranteed to have endless screws to tighten, so you'll never have to worry about not having work."

Several college students who had just returned to school sat on the lawn of the playground, chatting and joking with each other.

at the same time.

After attending the closing ceremony of the World Internet Conference in Yanjing, Chen Yansen stayed for another day before heading to Qingdao.

After nearly a year of development, Orange Garment has doubled the size of its production base, and its second factory is about to be put into operation.

Regardless, Orange Garment is a subsidiary of Senlian Capital and employs more than 10,000 people.

Chen Yansen had never been to Jimo before, and his understanding of it was mostly through data reports and video conferences. This time, he really should conduct a comprehensive inspection.

……

……

In late August, Oromia is in the rainy season.

"The weather in Abyssinia is absolutely awful; it either doesn't rain at all, or it rains for months on end."

In a mining area located in the Gobi Desert, Qin Chengguo stood under the eaves, carrying a submachine gun, and cursed loudly.

"You talk too much nonsense. Go check on those tomato plants in the backyard sometime, see if they're still alive."

Chen Zhi leaned against the sofa, put his feet on a stool, yawned, and said.

The company and the Omoro people jointly invested in a mining company, and beneath the land in their cooperation area lies a primary gold deposit, with exploration revealing reserves of approximately 47 tons, corresponding to a value of over 100 billion yuan.

To protect his interests, Bai Zhenshan immediately dispatched more than 60 people to guard the area.

The Omoro Armed Front not only stationed more than 100 people there, but also managed to procure two nine-handed tanks from the Arctic.

This thing was probably manufactured during World War II.

But a nine-handed tank is still a tank, and if it can fire normally, it has a deterrent effect.

When Qin Chengguo first saw them, his mind went blank for a moment. After regaining his senses, he was both amused and exasperated, wondering where the Omoro people had gotten such junk.

Their service life was several cycles longer than the age of the Qin Dynasty.

"Alright, the signal is bad in this godforsaken place, and Mimo keeps laging. It's going to be tough."

Qin Chengguo smacked his lips, casually put on his raincoat, and walked outside.

But as soon as he stepped into the vegetable garden behind the house, he glimpsed through the torrential rain a string of tiny black shadows, no bigger than ants, slowly moving forward a few hundred meters away.
