    The morning peak road is always blocked for no reason.

    At the intersection of turning into the underground parking lot of the Eternal Star Building, Lin Yushu held the steering wheel with one hand and was caught in the slow-moving traffic. Even though the harsh horn sounded endlessly, he tried his best to keep himself calm.

    ——There are too many messy things at work, it's not worth it to affect your mood for things like traffic jams.

    The traffic flow moved forward slowly for about ten meters, and the source of the traffic jam finally appeared ahead.

    A car rear-ended a commercial vehicle, and the two car owners were checking the severity of the scratches. The accident should have happened not long ago.

    Lin Yushu originally planned to follow the traffic flow and take a detour, but when he saw that the owner of the car was his colleague, he turned the steering wheel to the other side and parked the car behind the car.

    "I said it was for your own good." The middle-aged man said impatiently, "If you apply for insurance, the premium will increase next year, do you know?"

    The woman in business attire was obviously at a loss, frowning and looking at the phone: "Wait for me to ask."

    "Everyone is rushing to work," the middle-aged man became even more impatient, "Can you stop dawdling?"

    Lin Yushu walked to Zhan Ting's side, and glanced at the place where the two cars were scratched. It was not serious.

    "Want to help? Manager Zhan." He asked proactively.

    Zhan Ting turned her head following the sound, and when she saw Lin Yushu, she felt as if she had met a savior, and immediately let go of her frowning brows: "Manager Lin, you came just in time, help me see what to do?"

    Most of the rear-end collisions are caused by the car behind. Zhan Ting crashed into this commercial vehicle, because the insurance will help her lose money, and she will pay more premiums next year; or she will pay for it herself, and the premiums will remain the same next year.

    Just now Lin Yushu had heard what the middle-aged man meant, looked at him and asked, "How much do you want?"

    The middle-aged man glanced at the logo of the car and announced a number: "Two thousand."

    "Then take the insurance," Lin Yushu said.

    "Wait." The middle-aged man showed dissatisfaction, "You have to find the traffic police to fix the insurance, don't you think it's troublesome? My car costs one million, and two thousand is not too much."

    "Is your car or your boss's car?" Lin Yushu asked back, "Five hundred, if you don't agree, take the insurance."

    "You..." I don't know if the identity of the driver was exposed, the middle-aged man suddenly became guilty, and said through gritted teeth, "One thousand."

    Lin Yushu's tone remained unchanged: "Just five hundred."

    As the clock-in time approached, the car owners rushing to work became more and more irritable, and the road was full of horns one after another.The middle-aged man seemed to know that Lin Yushu was not good at cheating, so he finally accepted Zhan Ting's transfer of 500 yuan, and drove the commercial vehicle to leave the street blocked by long queues.

    "Manager Lin, thank you so much, I don't know what to do without you."

    While waiting for the elevator in the underground parking lot, Lin Yushu ran into Zhan Ting again.Zhan Ting thanked her again, Lin Yushu didn't think it was a big deal, but judging by Zhan Ting's appearance, it seemed that she hadn't fully digested the accident just now.

    "Actually, you can go to the traffic police directly. In short, don't let the other party say what you want."

    Lin Yushu's voice was cool and gentle, and his speech was not fast. Although Zhan Ting was on the same level as him and older than him, these words did not give people the feeling of superiority when they came out of his mouth.

    Zhan Ting nodded, as if she suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Did that car really cost one million just now? It looks similar to Wuling Hongguang."

    "I want it." Lin Yushu said, "The Toyota Alphard costs eight or nine hundred thousand. But as a driver, he must have a familiar repair shop, and five hundred is enough. Judging by his appearance, he probably doesn't want to delay the boss's use of the car."

    "Then he still wants me two thousand." Zhan Ting whispered dissatisfiedly, "I knew I would call the police and arrest him for extortion."

    There are all kinds of drivers on the road.Lin Yushu had already seen the strangeness, and said, "I guess he saw that you were driving a Mercedes-Benz, and it was a female driver, so he wanted to blackmail you."

    "Hey." Zhan Ting suddenly became embarrassed, "This is not a luxury car."

    The car Zhan Ting drives is a Mercedes-Benz A-series, with a price of two hundred thousand yuan, it is indeed not a luxury car.Most people who buy this car are for the Mercedes-Benz logo, and basically don't consider performance.

    "Oh, Manager Lin." Zhan Ting changed the subject directly, "How do you know that man is the driver?"

    "I heard him say 'hurry to work'." Lin Yushu said, "And most of the people who drive that car are drivers."

    "I see." Zhan Ting nodded and said, "It's said that investors should be able to judge people, Manager Lin, no wonder you have such a good investment vision."

    "No." Lin Yushu said politely, "I just know cars better."

    This can be said to be quite modest.

    Lin Yushu not only knows cars, but also knows cars very well.

    The car he drives is a Honda, which looks like an ordinary grocery shopping cart. Some colleagues once joked with him, saying that the Honda is not worthy of his income, but in fact Lin Yushu’s car is a red standard Honda————Civic typeR, the legendary small steel cannon that "seconds the air" on the track.

    And Lin Yushu himself is just like his car. On the surface, he looks easy to get along with and has no temper, but only those who really know him know how decisive he is in the capital market.

    The elevator eventually stopped on the 37th floor, the executive office floor of the Eternal Star Group.

    Strictly speaking, Lin Yushu is not an executive of the Eternal Star Group, but the place where he works - the Shaw Family Office is the most important branch of the Eternal Star Group.

    Eternal Star Group was founded by Mr. Shao, and the current wealth map can be roughly divided into four parts:

    One is the core automobile business, which accounts for more than 60% of the Eternal Star Group's revenue; the second is non-core businesses such as real estate and entertainment, which can create a lot of value although they are complicated; the third is overseas trusts, which are used to protect wealthThe fourth is the family office, which increases the value of family wealth through capital operation.

    ——Of course, since it is a family office, as the name suggests, it has to take care of all the chores in the family.A while ago, a family member wanted to start a company, and Zhan Ting, the tax manager, had to help out with suggestions.

    Not to mention Lin Yushu, who is in charge of investment, anyone in the family who buys a large amount of property must first ask his opinion.

    The scale of Shaw's family office itself is not large, there are only a dozen or so people in total, but all of them are elites.

    When Mr. Shao established the family office, he invited Lin Yushu's teacher to be the CEO of the family office, and the teacher directly brought Lin Yushu, who had just graduated, here. Now, it is Lin Yushu's fifth year working for the Shao family.

    "Okay, everyone is here, now we have a meeting."

    Sitting at the conference table, Shao Guangjie clasped his fingers, pressed on a stack of materials, and looked at everyone with a serious expression: "The acquisition negotiation is scheduled for next Friday. Everyone has to go through the plan again to ensure that there is no risk."

    The elites sitting around the conference table carefully looked at the materials in their hands, only to hear Shao Guangjie say again: "I repeat, Song Qiming must not be allowed to participate in the company's management."

    Lin Yushu knew it was for this matter, otherwise the eldest son would not have come to hold the meeting in person.

    Shao Guangjie is the grandson of Mr. Shao, the legitimate heir of the Eternal Star Group, and the current CEO of the company.The Song Qiming he was talking about was Mr. Shao's grandson, who lived in Germany with his mother all year round, and was cousin to Shao Guangjie.

    Originally, no one compared the two brothers. After all, Song Qiming's mother left the family early and was not interested in the company's management.

    But in recent years, Song Qiming has attracted more and more attention from the outside world as an automobile engineer. It is no wonder that Shao Guangjie guards against him like a wolf.

    Song Qiming first entered the public eye when he was photographed by the media traveling with a European male movie star during the F1 Monaco Grand Prix a few years ago.

    Someone picked out that he is the founder of the s-power tuning factory. The racing car modified by him not only set the lap record of the New North Circuit, but also achieved excellent results in major international competitions.

    Later, someone picked up his relationship with the Eternal Star Group.

    Interestingly, Song Qiming's car factory only refits Eternal Star cars, and there is a feeling that "the Eternal Star he refits is better than the original Eternal Star", which is worth pondering.

    Eternal Star is an old domestic car, focusing on comfort and luxury. Due to the impact of emerging car companies in recent years, sales have gradually weakened.

    Perhaps in order to perform well in front of the old man, or to suppress this popular cousin, Shao Guangjie made a decision not long ago - to acquire Song Qiming's s-power modification factory.

    Like Song Qiming, there are not a few cases where a car of a certain brand is specially modified, and after achieving good results in major competitions, it is bought by the original factory in turn.

    The acquired car factory will become a high-end car brand, and the price of the car is usually several times that of ordinary cars.In Eternal Star's business line, there is a lack of such high-end performance cars, so the acquisition of Song Qiming's tuning factory can just make up for this shortcoming.

    If the acquisition is successful, it will be a win-win situation.

    With fresh blood injected into the Eternal Star car, the stock price is bound to rise sharply. For Song Qiming, it would be great if his modified car could be mass-produced and open to a wider public.

    But the problem is-

    Shao Guangjie only wanted the modification factory, not Song Qiming.

    This is difficult.

    If Song Qiming is stupid enough, this acquisition can be easily negotiated.but……

    Lin Yushu looked at the acquisition plan in his hand with a headache that was close to the overlord's terms, and silently evaluated the possibility that Song Qiming was a fool.

    "Manager Lin." After the meeting, Shao Guangjie stopped Lin Yushu who was about to leave, "Do you have any ideas about the acquisition plan?"

    Lin Yushu stopped getting up, and other colleagues who were walking in front left one after another, and soon he and Shao Guangjie were the only ones left in the conference room.

    "The current plan," Lin Yushu said very tactfully, "maybe we won't have any time to discuss it."

    The implication is that Song Qiming will definitely not be satisfied.

    "I believe in your ability." Shao Guangjie smiled, not as serious as before, "Are you okay this weekend?"

    A bad premonition suddenly rose in Lin Yushu's heart.In the eyes of the boss, the personal affairs of employees are nothing to worry about.Seeing that tomorrow is the rest day, it is estimated that this weekend will be ruined again.

    "Does Mr. Shao have any arrangements?" Lin Yushu asked.

    "You accompany me to Singapore tomorrow." Shao Guangjie took it for granted.

    Lin Yushu thought about the date, and considering the destination of Singapore, he immediately had the answer in his mind: "Go to the F1 race?"

    "Yes." Shao Guangjie said, "I'm going to meet some friends by the way."

    Lin Yushu didn't express his opinion immediately.

    Those who work in the "big family" are all good people. Of course, Lin Yushu knew that Shao Guangjie took him to Singapore to watch a game, but the nature of his job was to serve the members of the Shao family, so he naturally couldn't refuse.

    Besides, since the teacher fell ill, Lin Yushu has almost become the temporary CEO of the family office. The bosses of the Shao family like to find him when they have something to do, and his work has changed from investment analysis to attending charity dinners with the boss and so on.

    However, Lin Yushu still didn't want to go alone with Shao Guangjie.

    When he was thinking of finding a reason to decline, he heard Shao Guangjie say again: "Don't you want to go? I got a ticket for the stand at the departure area."

    ……Fine.

    As a senior car fan, Lin Yushu could only show a professional smile and said, "Of course, Mr. Shao."

    The core of this article is business warfare, but it will involve some racing culture and modification culture, so it will not be difficult to understand~
