On the way back, Li Zhi called Dong Xiaorou and told her about buying a car. He also wanted to invite her to his house for dinner in the evening and buy the food himself. It was in the name of reward. Of course, no one knew if he had other intentions.
Dong Xiaorou said ‘hmm’, saying that she appreciated the good intentions, but she couldn’t go there at night, so she went back to the Yutou Island Village Processing Factory.
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhi felt helpless on his face, Dong Xiaorou, Dong Xiaorou, could it be that this witch had seen through his 'plot' and was hiding from him on purpose?
Being alone at night, the long night is very boring. Mu Xiaomei is just a phone call away, let alone staying overnight to talk about life, even if it is a 'full service', as long as Li Zhi requests it, Mu Xiaomei can
The United States will not object.
The problem is, Li Zhi doesn't want to do that. The two are good friends now. After that, can they still just be good friends?
Although it seems a bit self-deceiving!
There was still money in his pocket, Li Zhi thought, he couldn't keep it in his card, he had to do something to let the money grow, so that he could make more money.
Investing all in 'Happy Fish Ball' to expand the chain store? It's possible, but it's definitely not a wise choice. With ten branches, he and Dong Xiaorou have been busy for more than half a month to get it right, and then suddenly open another one.
Hundreds of families can't help but tire people to death.
Crazy expansion requires a foundation. ‘Happy Fish Ball’ has just set sail and has a serious lack of foundation. This is where it is lacking. Going too fast may not be a good thing. Going slower may be more stable.
If the money is not invested in the expansion of ‘Happy Fish Ball’ branches, then where will it be invested?
Expanding the ‘Xiaorou Food Factory’? It seems that there is not much need. There is currently a serious overcapacity, and the processing plant is also very short of manpower in all aspects. It will take a long time to run in, and it is not appropriate to make any big changes in a short time.
"Acquisition!"
Two words suddenly popped into Li Zhi's mind: M&A is undoubtedly the fastest way to expand. It can also effectively solve the problem of insufficient human resources.
There is still more than 20 million in cash in the bank card, which is enough to "make a knife". I just need to study carefully where the knife needs to be cut.
Back in the rented apartment, Li Zhi took a shower, turned on the computer, and prepared to check online first to see if there were any suitable companies that could be acquired within Haicheng.
While starting up the computer, Li Zhi transferred the two million he owed Sophie to her, and attached a message of thanks.
Regardless of whether Sophie has ambitions and possessive desires for 'Happy Fish Balls', after all, she played a big role in the beginning of Happy Fish Balls. Without Sophie's two million, Li Zhi wouldn't be able to do it.
We got to where we are now so quickly.
The weakest period has passed. Li Zhi dare not say that he can make big strides forward now, but at least he will no longer be so weak and helpless, falling down at the first push.
Although Sophie also said that she would take revenge on Li Zhi, she has not taken any action at least for the time being. Li Zhi does not want to guess what will happen in the future. Who can say for sure what has not happened.
No account and no weight!
Three days after the processing plant was robbed, Dong Yingxue called Li Zhi and told Li Zhi that the case of robbed equipment from the factory had been solved, all suspects were arrested, the three masterminds were detained, and all the equipment was recovered intact.
"Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? Have you explained it?" Li Zhiqi asked. With the Zhao family's influence in Haicheng, it was definitely beyond his expectation that the police could solve the case so quickly.
"It's a man named Li Ming, do you know him?" Dong Yingxue said.
Li Ming?
After thinking about it carefully, Li Zhi decided that he did not know anyone named Li Ming. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Where did you catch these people?"
Dong Yingxue hesitated and said: "We didn't arrest them, they took the initiative to come to the police station and surrender."
"Surrender yourself?" Li Zhi was suddenly confused. He just said, this case is big or small. After all, the equipment in Li Zhi's factory is not worth much. Even if it is a prison sentence, it is still a big case.
In just a few years, and with the Zhao family's connections in Haicheng, it won't be easy to find a few scapegoats.
To put it bluntly, even a strong man breaking his wrist is not considered worthy of being killed.
In any case, the police have done their best and the equipment has been recovered intact. It is up to the judge to decide how the messengers will be judged. Li Zhi thanked Dong Yingxue before hanging up the phone!
"Zhao Xueying, haha, what a good method!" Li Zhi muttered with a playful smile. He was 90% sure that Zhao Xueying ordered someone to do this case. This woman's methods are tough enough. If Zhao Xueying is smart, she will only do it this time.
Of course, if she is stupid, no one can save her.
Li Zhi drove to the headquarters of 'Happy Fish Balls'. The company next door happened to move out two days ago. Dong Xiaorou directly negotiated with the property company and rented the entire office building. The small space of about 100 square meters suddenly changed.
It has become more than 600 square meters, which is completely enough for the company at this stage.
Dong Xiaorou looked up at Li Zhi who opened the door and said with a straight face: "You are here just in time. There is an island company that is very optimistic about 'Happy Fish Balls' and wants to fully acquire our company. The price is not low!"
Li Zhi walked over with a smile, sat on the chair opposite Dong Xiaorou, and asked doubtfully: "Our Happy Fish Balls haven't left Haicheng yet, how come we are already being targeted by companies from the island country?"
Dong Xiaorou shook his head, rolled his eyes at him and said, "How could I know!"
"what price?"
"One hundred million US dollars to fully acquire the 'Happy Fish Ball' brand, its affiliated production plants, and its production technology!" Dong Xiaorou said calmly.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "The price is indeed not low. Where does this company come from?"
"Hokkaido Daichiaki Ocean Fisheries Co., Ltd. is one of the top three fishing companies in the island country, with a market value of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars."
"Why would the oligarchs target us?" Li Zhi frowned and said, "We who make fish balls don't seem to have anything to do with the Ocean Fisheries Company, right?"
Dong Xiaorou smiled: "Happy fish balls are indeed not related to ocean fisheries, but they can be related to 'fish'. Now the fishing company is not so prosperous, and it is necessary to expand offline resources. If processed into fish balls, the value can increase immediately.
Do you think they will go crazy with joy? Do you think the islanders are stupid? What they value is not our 'Happy Fish Ball' brand, but the production technology we have in hand!"
Li Zhi knocked on the table and said thoughtfully: "It is not impossible to cooperate with a Japanese fishery company, but if we want to fully acquire 'Happy Fish Balls', then we will definitely not sell it!"
Dong Xiaorou looked at Li Zhi and asked, "What do you think, boss?"
"We have technology, and Dazhiming Ocean Fisheries Company has money and a large amount of fishery resources. If we cooperate with Dazhiming, we will no longer have to worry about raw materials, and we can also allow 'Happy Fish Balls' to enter the Japanese market and high-end fish ball areas.
"Li Zhi said.
Dong Xiaorou shook his head: "But have you ever thought that if we cooperate with Dazhiming Ocean Fishing Company, we will easily be swallowed up by others?"
Li Zhi frowned. The island nation's Dazhiming Ocean Fisheries Company is still a giant to 'Happy Fish Balls' for the time being. Although there are many benefits to cooperating with the other party, it is tantamount to cooperating with a beast. If you turn around, you may be killed.
The other party took a bite, because Happy Fish Ball was in an absolutely weak position and had no room for resistance.
As long as the other party takes away the technology, then the 'Happy Fish Balls' can be used by the other party as they please... Yes, technology, the technology for producing Happy Fish Balls is the key. If the other party cannot take away the technology, then it may not be '
Happy Fish Ball' suffered a loss.
Li Zhi suddenly laughed and said confidently: "It's okay. We are too tough. Da Zhiming may not be able to swallow it. Even if he can swallow it, how can he swallow it? How can he spit it out for us?" After thinking about it, he said
: "In this case, you go talk to Dazhiming. There is no need to think about a wholly-owned acquisition. We will not sell it. Can we cooperate and invest in a new 'fish ball processing factory'? We will provide the technology and the other party will provide the funds."
, but we need the other party to sell fishery resources to supply the factory at a price that is 20% lower than the market price. For the time being, it is just like this. We will see if the other party is interested and we will talk about it later."
"Okay!" Dong Xiaorou looked at Li Zhi and said, "But you have to think about the consequences."
"Don't worry, your boss and I have mountains and rivers in my heart. A small island nation's offshore fishery company can't do anything to us!" Li Zhi smiled and shook his head.
