Chapter 125 First Contact
The 28th floor of Zhonghe Building.
As soon as we got out of the elevator, the words "Yongjin Bio-Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd." came into view.
Seeing Li Dong and a few people, the front desk got up and smiled and said, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Are you always here?"
"Do you have an appointment?"
Li Dongdao: "No, but I have business with you, Mr. Xu."
The front desk didn't say whether Xu Yong was there or not, and asked with a smile, "What's your surname, sir?"
"I am Mr. Lee."
"Mr. Li, wait a moment, I'll help you call and ask."
...
After about a minute or two, the front desk raised his head and smiled again: "Mr. Li, please go to the conference room to sit for a while. President Xu is in a meeting, and it will probably take a while to arrive."
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief, finally seeing someone. It would be embarrassing to see no one.
On the way to the conference room with the front desk, Li Dong observed Xu Yong's company through the glass door.
It seems that there are not many people working in the company, and it is very quiet, and almost no people move around.
After waiting in the conference room for about four or five minutes, Li Dong finally saw Xu Yong.
Xu Yong was in his early 40s this year, wearing a black suit with a faint smile on his face, looking very scholarly.
After seeing Li Dong and the others, Xu Yong quickly observed it, then extended his hand to Li Dong and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Xu Yong."
"Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Li Dong from Yuanfang Company." Li Dong shook hands with him.
Li Dong did not introduce Zhou Haidong, nor did Xu Yong introduce the woman in business attire who followed him.
After introducing each other, Xu Yong greeted Li Dong and the others to take their seats.
Although he didn't know Li Dong and didn't know what the distant company was doing, Xu Yong still said enthusiastically, "Mr. Li, I was in a meeting just now.
Li Dong hurriedly said a few polite words.
After a few useless polite remarks, Xu Yong went straight to the topic and said, "I don't know if President Li is looking for me?"
Li Dong thought about it for a while, and felt that it was unnecessary to beat around the bush, so he said directly: "I'm here to buy the shares of Baidu in Mr. Xu's hands."
Xu Yong's face changed slightly, and then he smiled: "President Li is joking, since President Li has found me, it means that President Li should also understand my general situation. To be honest, I am not short of money now, and I have no intention of selling it. shares.”
Li Dong knew that the acquisition process must be difficult, but he did not expect Xu Yong to reject it so simply.
Seeing that the smile on Xu Yong's face has faded a lot, Li Dong said quickly: "Mr. Xu, don't be too busy to refuse, I came to the capital from Pingchuan a thousand miles away, and I definitely came here with sincerity. We can talk about the price."
Xu Yong shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, it's not about the money. I won't sell Baidu's shares."
Seeing Xu Yong's determination, Li Dong frowned.
Not because of Xu Yong, but because Li Dong knew that he was reckless.
This time he came too impulsive, did not understand many things clearly, and did too little preparation.
More importantly, Li Dong didn't see his own shortcomings. He was actually not suitable for business negotiation.
In his previous life, Li Dong was just a salesperson, and he had never experienced any big scenes. There was a huge gap between him and Xu Yong, an elite who could make millions of dollars in investment in the 1990s.
Moreover, Xu Yong didn't know Li Dong at all, and he negotiated the price when they met, which really made people look down on three points.
Li Dong only now feels that he is full of the breath of a nouveau riche, which is probably also very unpleasant.
Some regrets in my heart, I should have found a negotiator to come over, or let a middleman like Gu Honglou accompany me rather than come alone.
Regret is regret, it's too late to talk about it now.
Seeing that Xu Yong's attitude should be that he doesn't want to talk any more, Li Dong was also afraid that the collapse of the talk would not be conducive to the next contact, so he chatted with Xu Yong a few times,
Li Dong said goodbye and left.
...
After leaving the Zhonghe Building, Li Dong took a long breath.
The impulsiveness is the devil, and I am still too lacking in experience, and I actually kill him without thinking about it.
Fortunately, this is only the first contact, there is still a chance next time.
Sitting in the car and smoking a cigarette, Li Dong thought about it and said to Zhou Haidong, "Go to the Red House Agency."
He could only ask Gu Honglou if he could do anything now. After all, Li Dong didn't know many people in the capital, and he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
...
Red House Intermediary.
Gu Honglou knew Li Dong's purpose when he heard Li Dong said he had contacted Xu Yong and returned without success.
But to be honest, he really didn't like Li Dong's acquisition this time, otherwise he wouldn't have refused it last time.
Now that Li Dong wanted him to take over again, Gu Honglou was actually struggling.
On the one hand, he is reluctant to pay Li Dong's commission, on the other hand, because he is not optimistic, he is afraid of wasting a lot of his time.
Xu Yong looks very modest, but in fact it is difficult to contact, and the failure rate is too high.
In addition, Xu Yong is not short of money, and it is difficult to impress him with money.
As if seeing his entanglement, Li Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, in fact, I think there is still great hope."
"How?" Gu Honglou asked with some interest.
"Mr. Gu has not been optimistic about this deal?" Li Dong did not rush to answer, but asked instead.
Gu Honglou was a little embarrassed, and coughed dryly: "President Li..."
Li Dong waved his hand and didn't let him continue, but analyzed: "The biggest reason why Mr. Gu is not optimistic is because Xu Yong is not short of money, and there is no need to sell shares, right?"
Gu Honglou couldn't deny it, so he nodded.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "I don't see it that way. The reason why you all think that he is not short of money is that he has bought back a lot of shares before he left, so he must have a large amount of cash flow on hand?"
Gu Honglou nodded. In fact, many people knew about this.
"Then you are wrong. I heard that Li Yanhong did not pay much cash to repurchase his shares, but repurchased it in other ways."
"And the biopharmaceutical company Xu Yong opened is also a big money-sucking company. Whether it is product development or product launch, a large amount of money needs to be invested, and the cycle is very long. If you want to wait for the return of funds, it will be difficult to succeed without three or five years. "
"Of course, these are just my own analysis. But I am sure, because Xu Yong sold a small amount of shares after he left. If he is not short of money, why would he sell it?"
Li Dong's analysis was reasonable, and even Gu Honglou felt that what Li Dong said should be right.
In this case, Li Dong has found Xu Yong's bottom, why not talk about it himself?
If Xu Yong is really short of money, he can also grind a foreign worker, so there is no need to find him Gu Honglou.
Seeing the suspicious look on Gu Honglou's face, Li Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Gu is thinking that since this is the case, why should I come to see Mr. Gu?"
Gu Honglou nodded.
"First, because relatively speaking, I am very unfamiliar in Xu Yong's eyes, and he doesn't trust me."
"Secondly, Mr. Gu is a professional, and I am a layman in this aspect of negotiation. I am afraid that the negotiation will collapse."
"The third and most important point, what I want is a quick decision, and the time cannot be delayed for too long."
After saying this, Li Dong said again: "I don't care if I spend more money. What I want is stability and speed. The sooner the better. If Mr. Gu can do these two points, the remuneration I promised before will still count."
Gu Honglou's eyes flashed with excitement, and after thinking for a while, he said, "That's fine, but I need to find someone to investigate first to see if Xu Yong is really short of money. If it is true, there will always be traces."
"It can't take too long."
"Don't worry, this is very fast. If it goes well, I will accompany President Li to see Xu Yong tomorrow."
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Gu Honglou.
