When I returned to my own home from my eldest brother's house, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, which was about the same time as usual when I got home after working overtime.

Lin Yushu turned on the TV in the living room, and then turned on the computer in the study. He was used to sitting in the study, watching TV while working through the transparent glass on half of the wall.

The decoration style of the home is black, white and gray. If there is no sound, it will be too deserted.So Lin Yushu didn't really want to watch TV, but just liked some movement at home.

The clichéd love idol drama was playing on TV, Lin Yushu wanted to shake his head every time he saw the protagonist give up his career for love.

How much is love worth?

It is more secure to look at the growing numbers on the account.

After finishing the waiting list, Lin Yushu came to the bedroom and started his favorite activity - counting money.

There are already twenty-eight gold bars in the safe, and after a while, Lin Yushu's twenty-ninth birthday, he will buy another one to make his safe even more shiny.

"26, 27, 28..."

When putting the counted gold bars back into the safe, Lin Yushu suddenly heard rustling voices outside the gate, as if someone was carrying something.

The place he lives in is a high-end apartment, and there are only two households on each floor. The layout of the two households is completely symmetrical, with an area of 200 square meters.

The house opposite has been vacant since Lin Yushu moved in, so no one should be walking around.

Lin Yushu came to the door with a water glass, turned on the cat's eye camera and looked, and found that there were a few workers in the aisle outside carrying mattresses.

The 24-hour property manager in black uniform was waiting by the side. Lin Yushu simply opened the door and asked, "Is anyone moving here?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin." The housekeeper replied, "The house opposite you is rented out."

Lin Yushu glanced at the aisle, and saw that besides the mattress, there were sofas, chests of drawers, suitcases and other items in the back.

He picked up the water glass slowly, took a sip, and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

"This is not clear yet." The housekeeper shook his head. "The tenant has not come to the property to register. I can help you find out when the other party comes to register."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Lin Yushu thanked him, closed the door and returned to the room.

The degree of friendliness among neighbors determines the happiness index of life, but it was not for this reason that Lin Yushu inquired about the opposite door.

This high-end residential area is a high-end property developed by Eternal Star Real Estate, and it was once sold at a high price for the ceiling in the downtown area.

People who can live in this community have some family background, so Lin Yushu is very happy to expand his network.

What's a good gift for a new neighbor?

Lin Yushu walked around the house, and finally chose a bottle of white wine in the wine cabinet.

Things worth a thousand dollars are neither too shabby nor too expensive.

As the negotiation date got closer, the atmosphere in the family office became more and more tense.

The tension reached its peak on Friday morning when Song Qiming showed up at the home office.

Through the blinds of the private office, Lin Yushu could see Song Qiming in casual white short-sleeves, in stark contrast to the lawyer in suits and leather shoes beside him.

The front desk staff welcomed Song Qiming to the conference room. At this time, there were still fifteen minutes left before the ten o'clock negotiation time, and Shao Guangjie and other group representatives had not yet arrived.

The housekeeper leaned half his body into Lin Yushu's office and asked him if he wanted to urge the bosses to come over quickly.

Lin Yushu just said "no need", then straightened his tie against the glass of the file cabinet, then put the acquisition plan under his ribs, and brought the legal and financial personnel to the meeting room first.

"Hello, Mr. Song." Lin Yushu went straight to Song Qiming who was sitting, "This is my business card."

The business card was held up in the air, but Song Qiming didn't take it.

There was an unconcealable surprise in his eyes, probably because he did not expect to see Lin Yushu again here.

Since no one picked up the business card, Lin Yushu simply put it on the conference table in front of Song Qiming, then went around and sat down on the opposite side.

"Investment manager?" Song Qiming picked up the white business card with one hand and flipped it back and forth. When he was done playing with it, he put the business card back on the table, looked at Lin Yushu and asked, "Are you in charge of Shao Guangjie's money?"

This topic came out of nowhere. The other staff of the family office were sorting out the materials in their hands. When they heard Song Qiming's words, they all looked at each other inexplicably.

"I'm only in charge of investment." Lin Yushu answered the words without changing his face, pretending that he didn't understand the ridicule in Song Qiming's words.

At this time, dense footsteps came from outside the meeting room, and all the home office employees got up at the same time. The next second, the group representatives headed by Shao Hedong walked into the meeting room.

"Hello, Director Shao." Lin Yushu nodded to Shao Hedong first, and then nodded to Shao Hexu who was following behind, "Hello, Director Shao."

Although both of them are "Shao Dong", in fact Shao and Xu are only vice chairman.In the workplace, it is especially taboo to call the leader "Deputy XX", so everyone in the company defaults to calling Shao Hexu also Shao Dong.

Then came Shao Guangjie, and Lin Yushu greeted him, "Mr. Shao."

Before entering the door, the three of them were all ready to fight, but when they saw Song Qiming, they all smiled politely.

"Qiming, long time no see." Shao Hedong came to the middle seat and sat down, "You are really getting more and more promising."

"Hello, Uncle." Song Qiming was more restrained than Lin Yushu imagined. He was obviously lazy just now, but now he knows how to say hello.

After a while of pleasantries, the negotiation finally got to the point.

Since the acquisition of s-power was Shao Guangjie's idea, this negotiation was naturally led by him.

"We have communicated on the phone before," Shao Guangjie glanced at the document in his hand, "Eternal Star can offer a nine-figure purchase price."

"Yeah." Song Qiming nodded, "What's the specifics?"

"100 million yuan." After Shao Guangjie gave this number, he immediately added, "For a small-scale modification factory, this is already a very high price."

There were seven or eight people sitting beside Eternal Star, and everyone was paying attention to Song Qiming's reaction, and Lin Yushu was no exception.

"RMB?" Song Qiming smiled angrily, leaned back on the back of the chair, and looked at Shao Guangjie from a distance, "I thought we were talking about dollar business."

Hearing this, Lin Yushu immediately circled the number 100 million on the acquisition plan, and then wrote a note beside it: Not satisfied.

"For dollars," Shao Guangjie controlled his micro-expression, making a look of embarrassment, "I'm afraid it won't reach nine digits, cousin."

He deliberately emphasized Song Qiming's identity, obviously to remind the relationship between the two.

Song Qiming was noncommittal, crossed his arms, and asked again: "100 million yuan, how many shares to buy?"

Lin Yushu continued to make notes in the blank space of the plan: hold hands and be on guard.

"100%." Shao Guangjie said, "Of course, we still need you as the chief engineer."

Acquiring 100% of the shares of s-power with 100 million yuan means buying s-power directly, and Song Qiming will no longer be a shareholder.

Lin Yushu had expected that Song Qiming might not be satisfied, but now it is basically certain that he will not be satisfied.

"So, the total market value of Eternal Star is 70 billion U.S. dollars," Song Qiming said slowly, without any irritation or panic, "but he is only willing to spend 100 million yuan to acquire s-power."

"Of course, 100 million is just our valuation." Shao Guangjie said, "Cousin, you can mention any ideas you have."

s-power is not a listed company, and there is no stock market value as a reference. It can only negotiate a valuation that everyone is satisfied with through the acquisition of both parties.

Lin Yushu remarked next to the word "100 million" on the plan: US dollars?

Obviously, Song Qiming had no objection to the nine-digit range, so he changed it to US dollars according to his request, which shows that the purchase price in his mind is at least 600 million yuan, and he is not sure how many shares he is willing to sell.

Song Qiming didn't give a specific number, but asked again: "What about other conditions? What does chief engineer mean?"

According to Shao Guangjie's previous thoughts, he was not even willing to let Song Qiming work in Eternal Star.

But s-power can't do without Song Qiming, and Shao Guangjie can only compromise, and the chief engineer is the highest position he can compromise, no matter how high he is, he can't accept it.

"We hired you as the chief engineer of the s-power department, and you can raise the annual salary as you like." Shao Guangjie said, "In addition, we will give you an additional 1% option of the Eternal Star Group, and the exercise time is also up to you."

This is a very attractive offer. According to Lin Yushu's previous expectation, there is some talk about this acquisition plan.

But judging from Song Qiming's reaction so far, he may not be interested in these extra things.

In the end, Lin Yushu miscalculated Song Qiming's reaction again, and saw Song Qiming tilted his chin slightly, and asked the lawyer beside him, "Options?"

The lawyer pushed his glasses and said in a low voice, "It's equity, how many shares you can own in the company."

The meeting room was very quiet, even if the lawyer paid attention to the volume, Lin Yushu who was sitting opposite could hear his answer clearly.

Lin Yushu's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously glanced at Shao Guangjie, only to find that he didn't respond.

Looking at the other colleagues, like Lin Yushu, they all remained calm, but some were flipping through the materials, and some were turning their pens, so they must have murmured in their hearts.

Option is definitely not the same as equity. It is something used to motivate employees. As a professional lawyer, it is impossible not to know.

As for the reason why the lawyer on the opposite side explained this way, Lin Yushu could only think of one possibility—instigated by Shao Guangjie.

If Song Qiming really thinks that he can get 1% of the group's equity, which is equivalent to a stock worth 700 million US dollars, then why are they still struggling here?

Song Qiming shouldn't be so stupid, right?

Lin Yushu thought that he had already controlled the direction of the negotiation, but he didn't expect that Shao Guangjie was still playing tricks on him behind his back.

It is obviously inappropriate to stand up and remind Song Qiming now. Judging from the reactions of Shao Hedong and Shao Hexu, they also obviously know that the opposing lawyer is their own.

what to do?

Just when Lin Yushu tensed his back with nervousness, Song Qiming who was facing him suddenly stood up: "This acquisition plan is a bit far from my psychological expectation, and I need to think about it again."

After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly to the elder opposite, and then left the meeting room without looking back.

It is normal for the first negotiation to fail.

Lin Yushu breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but at this moment he only heard Shao Guangjie say to his father: "Did he find anything?"

Shao Hedong said: "He hasn't been good at Chinese since he was a child. Do you expect him to understand those concepts? Maybe he is still not satisfied with the purchase price."

The people from the Shao family were indeed digging a hole for Song Qiming, relying on Song Qiming's unfamiliarity with Chinese, so they deliberately confused the concept.

But then again, isn't Song Qiming good at Chinese?

Lin Yushu had never paid attention to this point.

Judging from the few encounters so far, it is clear that Song Qiming knows how to ridicule others.

No, now is not the time to think about it.

Lin Yushu needs to make a decision as soon as possible, should he find an opportunity to remind Song Qiming that his lawyer has a problem?

Lin Xiaoshu's current favorite activity in the bedroom - counting money.

the future...
