Bai Chen and Ding Xiang made an appointment to meet at Dapeng Mining. Ding Xiang first took Bai Chen around the mining area and showed him the underground production equipment, mining operations, cargo yards and office buildings. Then he and Ding Haodang met in the company
Seated in the conference room.
"How about it, Mr. Bai? Our Dapeng Mining's production equipment and management are first-class, right?" Ding Xiang said, throwing a cigarette to Bai Chen.
"Uncle Ding, I saw that the situation in our mine is indeed much better than that of ordinary mines." Since this meeting, Bai Chen began to call Ding Xiang Uncle Ding.
"If our sale is successful, you only need to send a few managers over, and everything here will be able to operate normally."
"Yes, Uncle Ding, you are right."
"And our mines have the most complete safety measures and equipment, so you don't have to worry about this at all."
"Yes, Uncle Ding, it's not bad."
"Okay, that's all I'll say. Mr. Bai will see if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them."
"Uncle Ding, I don't have any questions. It's just this price. Do you think it can be a little less?"
"It's okay to have a lower price. Your Ren family is a big company after all. I heard that the next step is to go public. You can't be too stingy, can you?"
"Yes, Uncle Ding, what do you think is the lowest price here?"
"I am a cheerful person and I don't like to talk in circles. To tell you the truth, 50 million is the lowest price."
"Oh, 50 million. Who knows, Uncle Ding, it's still a bit high."
"Since it's too high, then you can give me another number, and we can also see your sincerity."
"Uncle Ding, please rest assured about our sincerity. There is absolutely no problem. Moreover, Haoran and I are still classmates, so I will definitely give you Uncle Ding no less."
"Don't say yes to my sister. If you are sincere, just tell me the price." Ding Haodang said coldly from the side.
"Oh, Brother Ding, the price is easy to discuss. Even if we can't do business, we can still make friends."
"We have already lowered the price by 10 million. Are you sincere enough? Can you also increase it?" Ding Haodang said.
"Brother Ding, Uncle Ding, we said 10 million, but it's actually quite a lot. Just now, Uncle Ding said that our mine is well managed and safe. These are all true. However, compared with the country's requirements, it is still far behind.
, we bought the mine and still need to make a large amount of investment. So the price really cannot go up."
"Oh, after doing this for a long time, you just won't let go of 10 million. Just tell us that it's only 10 million. If you sell it, you can sell it. If you don't sell it, we will pull it down. Isn't that the end? It saves so much money."
"Hey, Brother Ding, don't be angry. I'm in a very difficult situation. There are a lot of things I've said that don't count."
"It doesn't matter if you say it or not. Just ask the person who has the final say to talk to us."
"Okay, I will definitely convey your wishes to the boss."
"Mr. Bai, I hope you can tell Chairman Bai that we have dropped 10 million at once, which is not a small amount. If your company really wants to acquire us, please show some sincerity."
After Bai Chen finished talking to Ding Xiang's uncle and nephew, he immediately went back to report to his father.
"Chairman Bai, I have had several rounds of talks with Dapeng Mining, and I have also seen their production facilities and management, as well as their safety facilities. They are indeed first-class. We can see that we basically don't need investment after entering."
to benefit.”
"Oh, that's good."
"As for the price, they refused to give in at first. I negotiated with them for a long time and bargained down the price for them again and again, and finally cut them 10 million."
"10 million, you are quite capable!"
"No, no, the price is still far behind!"
"As long as you know."
"Yes, I know."
"I heard that you have been hanging out with that little girl from Ding Peng's family a lot recently. Is this true?"
"Friends, just friends."
"I hope you won't delay our listing plan because of this matter."
"No, no."
"Since you have already cut off 10 million, I will give you the authority for another 10 million. But my 10 million is the last 10 million. The total price of 20 million can be negotiated or not."
"Yes, I must make this happen." Bai Chen vowed.
Next, Bai Chen changed his strategy. He knew that if he went to talk to Ding Xiang directly, the total price of 20 million would definitely not be negotiated. At this time, he should put some pressure on Ding Xiang and the others and ask them to take the initiative to lower the price.
At this time, the "National Coal Production Safety Month" activity is being carried out. Leaders and functional departments at all levels have gone deep into the production line to conduct inspections. If something happens to any coal mine at this juncture, it will range from fines to suspension of production for rectification.
No matter how serious the situation is, the coal mining license may be revoked.
It happened that a minor accident occurred in Shengpeng Mining at this time. Two miners got into a fight underground over a trivial matter, and one miner broke the other miner's arm. Fights like this happen in the mines.
It happens, and it often happens that arms and legs are broken or the head is bleeding. When this kind of thing happens, the miners usually keep it secret and will not report it to the police station. But the greenhouse mining incident was reported to the Safety Production Month activity
work group.
The working group was worried that there were no typical cases to catch. After receiving the report, they immediately entered the Dapeng Mine and conducted an in-depth investigation of the incident. It didn't matter if they didn't investigate. A lot of problems were found after an investigation. The notice of production suspension and rectification was quickly issued.
Ask Dapeng Mining to stop production immediately for rectification, and cannot resume production until the working group passes the inspection and acceptance.
Ding Xiang's uncle and nephew were very busy at this time. They made rectifications item by item according to the requirements of the working group. After the self-inspection found that there were no problems, they asked the working group to come for acceptance. Unexpectedly, the working group listened to Dapeng Mine
After the report, the acceptance was not carried out immediately, but was delayed.
Ding Xiang didn't understand what the problem was, so he asked an acquaintance to inquire about it. The acquaintance told Ding Xiang that the coal mine was difficult to manage now and that it was difficult to manage the interests of all parties.
During the shutdown of Dapeng Mine, Bai Chen visited the mine several times. After several rounds of negotiations, the two companies finally successfully narrowed the price difference to 20 million. Ding Xiang's price was 38 million, and Bai Chen's price was 38 million.
The price is 18 million.
Uncle Ding Xiang and his nephew were discussing in the office about the rectification and acceptance of Dapeng Mining.
"Uncle, you said that we have completed the rectification and the work has been done. Why don't they accept it?"
"Yeah, I'm a little confused too. The working group finds this very difficult. Why are they so embarrassed?"
"That's right, it's not like we didn't make the rectifications as required, they just followed the normal process for acceptance. What's the problem?"
"Other mines have much more serious problems than ours, and they have not stopped production. Have we offended anyone?"
"Uncle, I see that boy from the Bai family has been coming very frequently recently while we are shutting down production. Could it be that he is causing trouble behind our back?"
"You mean he has more leverage after we stop production?"
"Yes, uncle, if we keep stopping, it's hard to say how much this mine can be sold for."
"Oh, yes, I will go find the people in the work group to do the work. We still have to start the operation as soon as possible, otherwise all these workers will leave and we will be in trouble."
"Uncle, how much more do you think they can add to the price?"
"This matter is more difficult. Bai Chen is very shrewd and very patient in doing things. He is a difficult opponent."
"I always feel that this man is too cunning and hypocritical. None of what he says is credible."
"You, don't be too biased. As a businessman, he is still very good."
Intoxicating jazz music flows in the romantic and elegant restaurant. Ding Haodang made an appointment with Fang Juan to have dinner here tonight. The reason is to understand the situation of his mother's case. In fact, he cares more about the people who came to eat today.
The two people were talking in a low voice at the table. Ding Haodang suddenly saw Bai Chen and Ding Haoran walking in hand in hand. He immediately felt angry and thought that this little girl is really ignorant.
You plotted against us, but you took the initiative to embrace me.
He still hasn't figured out who this Bai family is. How can the younger sister be with Bai Chen? If he kills his father's enemy, how can he be worthy of his dead father? He has made up his mind to kill his father today.
The little sister was taken away from Bai Chen.
So he said to Wang Juan:
"How about I introduce someone to you?"
"Ah, who is he?"
"My sister."
"Your sister, oh, okay, okay."
"Just wait a moment."
After Ding Haodang finished speaking, he walked towards Bai Chen and Ding Haoran's table, and he greeted them generously.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Bai? I didn't expect such a coincidence."
When Bai Chen saw Ding Haoran coming, he quickly stood up to greet him.
"Brother Ding, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
When Ding Haoran saw his brother coming, he was a little nervous and shy and said:
"Brother, why are you here too?"
"Haha, I happened to have an appointment with a friend for dinner."
"Brother Ding, how about we come together?" Bai Chen said hypocritically.
"Oh, no, I have something to do with my little sister." After Ding Haodang finished speaking, he walked over to Ding Haoran and whispered in Ding Haoran's ear:
"I made an appointment with a policeman to ask about Mom. Come and listen."
When Ding Haoran heard that it was about her mother, her eyes almost turned red, and she quickly nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Ding Haoran agreed, Ding Haodang turned to Bai Chen and said:
"Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, my little sister and I are in a hurry."
"Oh, then I'll wait for you here." Bai Chen said when he saw that he didn't mean to ask him to come with him.
"Mr. Bai, no need, why don't you go back first." After Ding Haodang finished speaking, he took his sister and left.
After arriving at his seat, Ding Haodang introduced his sister and Fang Juan to each other. After the three of them sat down and talked for a while, Ding Haodang suddenly asked to change restaurants.
"Ah, why? Isn't it nice here?" Ding Haoran asked puzzledly.
"It's not convenient to talk here." Ding Haodang whispered in his sister's ear.
"I suddenly remembered a very delicious restaurant. I will take you to try it now." Ding Haodang said to Fang Juan again.
"Ah, I'm full now." Fang Juan said with a smile.
"It's okay. I'll be hungry again later. Let's go." After Ding Haodang said this, he pulled his sister and stood up. Fang Juan didn't know what kind of medicine Ding Haodang was selling in his gourd, so she could only follow him out.
Before Ding Haodang left, he did not forget to wave to Bai Chen, who was sitting far away with a confused look on his face.
