Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

early morning.

In front of the dilapidated office building of Shuguang Chemical Plant.

The atmosphere, however, was unusually lively.

The factory director and his team lined the streets to welcome Wang Jianguo and his entourage.

Everyone's face was beaming with a relieved smile.

The negotiation process.

It was less of a negotiation.

It's more accurate to describe it as a one-sided surrender.

This factory, which had long since ceased production due to environmental issues and was heavily indebted, was a hot potato that had gone bad.

The leadership team is hoping every day that someone will take over so they can get rid of this huge debt burden.

When Wang Jianguo presented them with a detailed, all-cash acquisition plan that included taking responsibility for all debts and employee resettlement.

The other party didn't even bother to haggle over the price.

As if fearing that Wang Jianguo might change his mind, he immediately produced the company seal.

Sign and stamp.

The whole process was incredibly smooth and seamless.

Wang Jianguo was still somewhat dazed.

Is that all?

He walked out of the office building, clutching the priceless contract in his hand, and glanced back at the dilapidated factory.

He spread out the map.

Although the land appears overgrown with weeds at present, it is located at the crucial choke point of Liang Cheng's vision for the future CBD.

It is part of the entire southern suburbs development plan.

The most important strategic rivet!

Taking this place is tantamount to controlling the future of the entire southern suburbs!

Wang Jianguo took a deep breath, his heart brimming with pride.

He could foresee it.

In the near future, countless high-rise buildings will stand here.

And this is where it all began.

Just today, right here in the contract he just signed!

......

The ink was barely dry on the contract to secure the Shuguang Chemical Plant.

Wang Jianguo then led his team to their next destination without stopping.

Hongxing Machinery Factory.

This piece of land is the most important piece in Liangcheng's southern suburban development plan.

Compared to the smooth progress of Shuguang Factory.

It could even be described as the other party's eagerness.

Wang Jianguo had already made ample mental preparations for the difficulties of negotiating with Hongxing Factory.

After all, this was once a star enterprise in Jingzhou City and even the entire Handong Province; even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse.

The convoy came to a steady stop in front of the rusty yet still imposing iron gate of the Red Star Machinery Factory.

Inside the guardhouse, a security guard in an old-fashioned blue uniform poked his head out, his eyes wary.

Wang Jianguo stepped out of the car with confidence, a signature smile on his face.

"Hello, we are from Suda Group. We have an appointment with your factory manager to come and discuss the acquisition."

However, the expected warm welcome did not materialize.

The security guard simply shook his head expressionlessly.

"The factory manager is not seeing visitors."

Wang Jianguo's smile faltered slightly.

The legal and finance team members behind him exchanged glances, all sensing that something was amiss.

"We have an appointment."

Wang Jianguo emphasized his words and took out a prepared document from his briefcase. "This is a letter we exchanged with the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

The security guard didn't even glance at the document.

He just repeated that sentence, his tone as hard as a stone.

"I've said it before, I don't receive guests, it doesn't matter who comes."

Wang Jianguo's brows furrowed deeply.

This was completely different from the script he had envisioned.

According to Liang Cheng's analysis.

Although the Red Star Factory was troublesome, its leadership team was not monolithic, and there were always loopholes that could be exploited.

But now.

He couldn't even get through the gate.

What is this?

Discontinued?

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, someone rushed out of the administration building.

The man was about forty years old, wearing glasses, with somewhat disheveled hair, and looked anxious.

"Mr. Wang! Is this Mr. Wang?"

Wang Jianguo recognized him as the office director he had spoken to on the phone before, surnamed Liu.

"Director Liu."

Director Liu ran up to him, panting heavily.

He first glared at the cold-hearted security guard, then took Wang Jianguo's hand with a face full of apology.

"Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing."

"Look at the mess this has made. It's not that we don't want to talk, it's just... it's really impossible to talk."

Director Liu's face was full of bitterness.

He lowered his voice, almost whispering in Wang Jianguo's ear.

There was a hint of undisguised panic in his voice.

"The former factory director... suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage last night and is currently lying unconscious in the ICU of the First Municipal Hospital!"

What?!

Wang Jianguo was deeply shaken.

This news was like a bucket of ice water, completely extinguishing his ambitions.

He finally understood.

Why were they stopped at the door?

The top leader was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit, and the entire factory's command system instantly collapsed.

Director Liu continued to pour out his grievances.

"You have no idea, the factory is in complete chaos right now!"

"These deputy factory directors aren't thinking about how to stabilize production and reassure employees; their eyes are all on the old factory director's position!"

"They're openly and secretly forming cliques and holding internal elections, all wanting to take this opportunity to promote themselves."

He sighed, his voice almost overflowing with helplessness.

"Mr. Wang, at this critical juncture, who would dare to approach you about an acquisition?"

"This is a major disposal of state-owned assets! Whoever signs off on it is responsible!"

"If the old factory director wakes up in the future, or if the higher-ups investigate, this will be a huge black hole!"

"Nowadays, everyone is afraid of taking the blame and thinks it's better to avoid trouble and grab the position first."

Director Liu's words completely confirmed Wang Jianguo's suspicions.

Hongxing Factory.

It has fallen into an "administrative vacuum" state of being leaderless.

The reason sounds absurd, yet it is incredibly true, perfectly reflecting the internal dynamics of a declining state-owned enterprise.

Wang Jianguo remained silent for a moment.

he knows.

This trip was a waste of time.

He nodded to Director Liu.

He said in a deep voice, "I understand. Then you take care of your internal affairs first, and we'll wait for your news."

After saying that, he led his team and got into the car.

The moment the car door closed.

All expressions on Wang Jianguo's face disappeared, leaving only a solemn expression.

He immediately dialed Liang Cheng's number.

......

Speedy Logistics Headquarters.

The CEO's office.

Wang Jianguo stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, respectfully reporting everything that had just happened.

"Boss, everything at Shuguang Factory is settled. The contracts and official seals are all here."

He placed a thick file folder on Liang Cheng's desk.

"But... something unexpected happened at the Red Star Factory."

He recounted in detail the old factory director's cerebral hemorrhage and the power struggle among the deputy factory directors.

Finally, he gave his own judgment.

"Boss, judging from Director Liu's demeanor, he doesn't seem to be lying. Given the current state of Hongxing Factory, it's probably impossible to conduct acquisition negotiations in the short term."

Liang Cheng listened quietly.

There was no surprise or disappointment on his face.

He had that expensive Montblanc pen.

It twirls deftly at your fingertips, drawing elegant arcs.

His gaze.

It landed on the huge map of Jingzhou City on the wall.

His eyes were deep, as if they could see through the paper and reveal the wealth surging beneath that land.

a long time.

The pen stopped spinning abruptly.

A playful smile suddenly appeared on Liang Cheng's lips.

He uttered two words softly.

"God willing."

Wang Jianguo was stunned.

He didn't understand what the boss meant.

This is clearly sudden bad news.

Why does it sound like a good thing to the boss?
