Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 126: Taking advantage of others
"Hehe, Mr. Zhuo, why are you being so polite with me?"

“I am now devoted to studying traditional Chinese culture and reading the classics. I have gained a lot from it and have shed the restlessness and anxiety of ordinary people.”

"If you have anything to say, just say it openly and honestly."

If it weren't for the gold rings and necklaces Liao Jianxiong was wearing, you really wouldn't guess he was a nouveau riche from his words and the way he poured tea.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were scholars and gentlemen.

"Then I'll speak frankly."

Zhuo Tong leaned back casually in his chair.

"I hope Mr. Liao can make some preparations in advance. I'm planning to acquire Hongxing Factory. If there's anything, you can contact my assistant."

The room fell silent upon hearing this. Even the usually carefree Wang Wei held his breath, staring intently at Zhuo Tong, not daring to utter a word.

He truly hadn't expected that Zhuo Tong wasn't joking, but was genuinely going to acquire Hongxing Factory.

Moreover, the way he spoke so casually made it seem as if he was already absolutely certain, and he even assumed that Liao Jianxiong would definitely agree.

For any company that has reached a certain size, mergers and acquisitions are not child's play.

It won't be like the Monopoly board game, where you simply hand over the land deed and take the money.

Regardless of the complicated change procedures, the cost of buying this land alone would be in the hundreds of thousands.

But he clearly remembered that Zhuo Tong was just an ordinary office worker not long ago, and he would occasionally complain about work in the dormitory group.

How come he has suddenly transformed himself, owning not only a large hotel and a limited-edition Maybach, but also having enough cash to easily acquire the Hongxing factory?

This is terrifying. I'd better hold on tight to Ah Zhuo... no, I mean, my godfather's leg.

Qi Shuangxue didn't think as much as Wang Wei; she only cared about money.

Listening to Zhuo Tong and Wang Wei talk in the car, and combining that with the information I had compiled, I was able to roughly estimate the value of the Hongxing Factory site.

It's about 100 million, not including buildings on the ground and machinery and equipment in factories.

If their boss can actually come up with this money, they'll have to follow him wholeheartedly from now on.

Liao Jianxiong, who had been smiling, slowly lowered his hand holding the teapot after hearing Zhuo Tong's words, making a heavy, muffled thud.

It's as if he's expressing his own attitude on behalf of others.

"Zhuo Tong, I thought you were young and promising, and that you had a bright future, but I never expected you to be such an arrogant person."

Liao Jianxiong sneered, pressed the switch, and the roller blind, originally used to block the sun, slowly rose, revealing the view outside the window.

From his office, he could see the entire Hongxing factory through the window without missing a single detail.

"Do you know how big my land is? Do you know how many workers I have? Do you know how much machinery I have? Do you know how many orders I have?"

“I, Liao Jianxiong, am not so incompetent that I need someone else to take over my business.”

He pounded his chest emotionally, his dark yellow face visibly flushing red.

"Who the hell do you think you are? I've never even heard of you, yet you come here and say you want to acquire my company? That's a fucking joke."

Liao Jianxiong of Hongwen has completely stopped caring about classical Chinese literature and classical texts, revealing his nouveau riche temperament that he had tried so hard to conceal.

In his view, his business was thriving and his future was bright. With plenty of cash in his account and a steady stream of orders, when would he need a greenhorn to teach him how to do business?

When he was navigating the underworld, he was probably still drinking milk. He probably hadn't eaten as much salt as he had eaten rice.
This is not business; it's provocation, it's contempt, it's disregard for the success of one's own business.

Only companies in decline that are on the verge of bankruptcy, or startups that urgently need funding to grow, need to be acquired by other companies.

My company, Hongxing Electronics Technology Co., Ltd., is clearly in its prime and mature stage.

Seeing that he was getting agitated, Zhuo Tong let him vent his anger before speaking slowly:
"Are you done talking? If you're done, we'll be leaving now. We didn't come here today to discuss anything with you, we came to inform you."

Originally, I wanted to have a proper discussion with him, but he barked and howled like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, so I didn't need to be patient anymore.

In my heart silently:

"Use the brocade card to steal something."

[The "Tip Card" is in use, currently detecting surrounding businesses. Please wait...]

"Bullshit! Look around Hongxing Factory. Besides my family, who else around here can make a living?"

"With such expensive land, why is it that only Hongxing Factory has survived until now? It's all thanks to my strength!"

"You little brat who hasn't even grown a beard yet, and you're already acting all high and mighty in front of me."

Listening to Liao Jianxiong's final struggles, Zhuo Tong was not angry at all; instead, she felt like laughing.

If I hadn't seen that the area around Hongxing Factory was just an empty lot when I arrived, I wouldn't have been so confident.

He had been patiently listening to Liao Jianxiong boast about how great and intelligent he was, and how he had brought Hongxing Factory to where it was today.

We accompanied him on an inspection of the entire factory to make sure that there were no other small businesses operating within it, not even street vendors.

As expected, Hung Hing Factory, which was already in a bad business situation, even closed down its convenience store and canteen. How could it possibly have any other businesses?

"I'll tell you right now, wanting to buy my Hongxing factory? No way..."

[Inspection complete. Number of surrounding businesses: 1. Business name: "Hongxing Electronics Technology Co., Ltd." Let's begin the petty theft...]

[Successfully stole something. Real-world interaction will take some time. Please wait patiently.]

"boom!"

Before Liao Jianxiong could even utter the word "door" in "no way," his office door was suddenly pushed open by his assistant:

"Boss, this is bad! The bank just notified us that our company account has been temporarily frozen due to a previous contract dispute."

"There's no way to unfreeze it in a short time, but a large batch of raw material payments are due tomorrow and we have to settle them."

"The workers' wages have been delayed for two months, and the third paycheck is due next week. If they still can't be paid this time, the workers might cause a commotion and we could end up in court."

The assistant, looking panicked, handed Liao Jianxiong a bunch of documents, including the court summons and bank letters he had just received.

Liao Jianxiong, who was originally going to scold his assistant for being disrespectful and barging in without knocking, was stunned when he heard what his assistant said.

What happened? How did the company's situation suddenly deteriorate so drastically?
But when I was showing Zhuo Tong and the others around just now, everything was fine, wasn't it?
He had even boasted to Zhuo Tong's face that Hongxing was now at its peak.

Zhuo Tong smiled calmly:
"Mr. Liao, it seems you've encountered a little difficulty."
