Life 1984

For the state-owned capital side, they spent 100 billion to buy Sihai Group from Li Yunhai!

It is now only sold for 560 billion yuan, which can be said to be a huge discount.

But they didn't think about it. When they bought Sihai Group, Sihai Group was at its peak and booming, with a market value of more than 100 billion!
As for the current Sihai Group, it has been messed up by them, with its market value plummeting to the bottom, its product lines being all unsalable, and its R&D capabilities being almost non-existent.

How could a company like this be sold for 560 billion?
The first round of auctions will soon be held in Xizhou.

Because Sihai Group’s headquarters is in Xizhou, the state-owned capital held the auction in Xizhou.

Li Yunhai and representatives from companies such as Lianxiang Company attended the auction.

As Li Yunhai expected, when the host from the state-owned capital side announced the bottom price of 560 billion, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Immediately, all the companies participating in the auction fell silent.

No one held up a sign.

The representative of Lian Xiang Company shook his head repeatedly and sighed, "If it was the Sihai Group four years ago, with 560 billion yuan, we would have to sell all our property and take on debt to buy it."

A representative of another company participating in the auction said mercilessly: "When will you, the company, raise 560 billion yuan? Even if I sell you ten times, I'm afraid you still won't be able to sell at this price!"

The representative of Lianxiang Company was speechless.

Li Yunhai sat at the back of the meeting room with a calm expression, as if he was watching a farce.

He didn't raise his sign to bid.

Such an auction is destined to be a joke.

Li Yunhai just came to see how this joke would end.

The host stood awkwardly on the stage, as if he was performing a monologue, and received no response at all.

From time to time, she looked at the state-owned capital leader sitting in the front row, asking for instructions on what to do next.
The leader of the state-owned capital side turned around and looked at the corporate representatives participating in the auction. He did not expect that the auction would be so deserted, with not even one person raising a placard!

They were struggling before. If there were too many people who wanted to buy and everyone was competing to bid, who should they sell it to?

Now they are still wondering why no one is bidding?
Li Yunhai suddenly shouted a price: "20 billion!"

The whole place was in an uproar!
Someone laughed and said, "This isn't a vegetable market, it's an auction! You can only raise the price above the reserve price set by the auctioneer. They offer 560 billion, and you bargain for 20 billion? Isn't that a bit too harsh? Even in a vegetable market, you can't bargain like this!"

Then, someone recognized Li Yunhai and said with a smile: "Isn't that Li Yunhai, the founder of Sihai Group? I didn't expect that he would also come to participate in this auction!"

Someone chuckled and said, "Li Yunhai is really amazing. He wants to buy back a company that he sold for 20 billion yuan for 980 billion yuan. Wouldn't that mean he would make a net profit of billion yuan?"

Some people also said, "That's not how you calculate it! Things are different now! The Sihai Group used to be really valuable. Let alone 100 billion, if Mr. Li wanted to buy 200 billion, those big foreign financial groups would also rush to buy it! But now, look at the Sihai Group, who else wants to buy it!"

Someone echoed, "I'm sure most of you here are here to watch the fun! Otherwise, why didn't anyone raise the price when Mr. Li offered 20 billion?"

At this, everyone fell silent.

Yes!

20 million?
Do you want to increase the price?
Do they really think that Sihai Group is not worth 20 billion?

Or do they not have the courage to take over Sihai Group?
20 billion is not a small amount.

There are probably not many companies that can come up with 20 billion in cash.

Lian Xiang Company must be here to join in the fun, or to take advantage of the bargain!
If the auction price is really low, they might raise their hands.

Li Yunhai was the only person who made a bid in the whole venue!
However, the difference between his offer and the price offered by the state-owned capital was too great.

Therefore, the state-owned capital party did not agree to his offer.

The host's reaction was quick. She probably knew that the offer of 560 billion was too scary and it was impossible for anyone at the scene to offer such a high price.

So, she used Li Yunhai's offer as a benchmark and said loudly, "Two billion! Someone has offered two billion! Excuse me, all the business representatives present, has anyone offered a higher price than two billion?"

The leader of the state-owned capital was very angry and felt that the host was causing trouble!

Are you kidding me?
Want to buy Sihai Group for 20 billion?
They were angry because they were afraid that someone would follow the host's words and make a new offer!
If everyone really makes an offer, how will it end?

What if the final price is several billion? Should I sell it or not?

However, the audience's reaction was beyond their expectations.

No one raised their hand!
No one bid!
The state-owned capital leaders became even angrier!

Is it possible that such a huge company like Sihai Group is not even worth 20 billion? You signed up for the auction, but you are not willing to pay 20 billion?

At this time, a man sitting next to Li Yunhai suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "I'll pay 19 billion!"

This person turned out to be the boss of Jiangnan Club, Liu Jie!
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

They have participated in many auctions, but this is the first time they have seen such an auction!
In other auctions, the prices are increased.

This auction, however, is reducing prices!
If the price is raised, even companies like Lianxiang will not dare to follow.

They are still willing to follow the price reduction.

Then someone else shouted: "18 billion!"

The host was also panicked this time!

No matter how talented she was or how strong her adaptability was, she was helpless at the moment and didn't know what to do.

Even the representative of Lianxiang Company joined in the fun, shouting, "17 billion!"

The numbers are decreasing by one hundred million!
Everyone seems to know that Sihai Group is unlikely to sell it at such a low price anyway, so why not try to offer a price?
Anyway, the person who offered the highest bid is Li Yunhai!
No matter how much the people below bid, they can never bid higher than Li Yunhai. There is no need to worry about any risk and they can bid whatever they want.

"16 billion!" someone else shouted.

"15 billion!" Liu Jie continued to join in the fun.

"14 billion!" The representative of Lianxiang Company was unwilling to lag behind.

The female host is so exhausted that she can’t even cry!
She stood on the stage at a loss, looking at the participants of the prank, not knowing whether she should step down.

"13 million!"

"12 million!"

On the contrary, the bidding for Tiangang is still going on.

These people seemed to be addicted, holding up signs non-stop.

The leaders of the state-owned capital side finally couldn't sit still anymore.

A middle-aged man with a big belly walked onto the stage, twisting his waist, and took the microphone from the female host. He said loudly: "Dear bosses, dear representatives, we are auctioning Sihai Group today! Our reserve price is 560 billion yuan! Please listen carefully, the reserve price is 560 billion yuan! From now on, if anyone raises their hand or shouts a price, it is assumed that they will add 560 million to the 2 billion!"

Everyone is shocked!
Some people had already raised their hands in the air, but they quickly put them down after hearing what was said.

The state-owned capital’s words directly ruined the auction!

No one raised their hand again.

Li Yunhai stood up slowly and left the venue.

Such an auction is doomed to have no results, and there is no point in waiting here.

As soon as Li Yunhai left, other representatives also stood up and left.

They were chatting and laughing, and were spreading today's auction as a joke.

"560 billion! Sihai Group is actually worth 560 billion! Is this a joke?"

"Sihai Group was originally worth more than 100 billion!"

"You also know that was in the past! How can the current Sihai Group be worth so much money?"

"The state-owned capital has suffered a huge loss this time! The enterprise that was purchased for hundreds of billions is now worth only 20 billion!" "It is the enterprise that is losing money, but the people who enriched themselves are still getting rich!"

"Okay, stop talking! If you don't want to buy it, go home!"

"If you have the guts, go ahead and buy it! 560 billion, just raise your hand and I guarantee no one will compete with you!"

The company representatives left cursing.

Only people from the state-owned capital side were left at the scene, and the venue was in a mess.

They haven't recovered from the shock of the auction failing!

They anticipated more than a dozen possibilities, but they never expected that the auction would fail, and there was not even a single bidder!

No, someone made an offer, but it didn’t work!
What's next?
The leaders of the state-owned capital side cannot make this decision and can only ask their superiors for instructions.

When they reported to their superiors, they exaggerated the matter and told them that Li Yunhai had offered 20 billion yuan on the spot.

After listening to this, the superior leader remained silent for a long time.

A company worth 20 billion is now only worth billion?
How can we make up for this huge loss?

The state-owned capital party felt that the sale was too cheap, so they did not agree to Li Yunhai’s bid of 20 billion.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Spring has arrived as expected.

Xizhou is full of birdsong, flowers and green trees.

The state-owned enterprise auctioned off Sihai Group, but there has been no news since then.

Li Yunhai asked around.

Serious differences have emerged within the state-owned capital side.

One party advocates selling it, the other advocates keeping it, and the state-owned assets must not be lost.

Li Yunhai was not in a hurry.

The main purpose of his acquisition of Sihai Group was to develop communication infrastructure and the application and promotion of 3G technology.

The relevant technologies in this area are still under intensive experiments.

It will take some time to get into operation.

Even if the state-owned capital feels that it has suffered a loss and is unwilling to sell Sihai Group, Li Yunhai still has a way out!
He can use Sanjiang Company to replace Sihai Group and develop related communication technologies.

You can also register a subsidiary and operate these technologies through the subsidiary.

After we regain control of Sihai Group, we can then transfer equity and allow Sihai Group to take controlling stake.

Li Yunhai had a comprehensive plan, so he was not in a hurry at all.

He and Linzhi entered a honeymoon state.

When they first got married, they didn't have a good honeymoon.

Now that the children are not around, they can live in their own world without any restrictions, making up for their previous regrets.

At the same time, violent conflicts broke out between the state-owned capital and the Sihai Group.

After learning that Li Yunhai wanted to buy back the company, people from the Sihai Group wrote letters one after another, asking the state-owned capital to act as soon as possible and sell the Sihai Group to Li Yunhai.

This group of people did not follow Li Yunhai when he left, but stayed to continue working in Sihai Group.

They never imagined that those who followed Li Yunhai away are all doing well now.

On the contrary, the salaries and benefits of those who stayed behind have been continuously cut, getting worse day by day, and they may not even get paid next month!

Now that Li Yunhai has made a comeback and wants to buy back the Sihai Group, these people suddenly thought of all the good things about Li Yunhai, and they all hope that Li Yunhai can successfully take back the Sihai Group so that they can all become a member of the glorious Sihai Group again.

The workers' suggestions in the letter did not attract the attention of the state-owned capital leaders.

The state-owned capital rejected these requests mercilessly!
Li Yunhai only offered 20 billion!
The leaders of the state-owned assets felt that Li Yunhai was deliberately provoking Sihai Group!

Song Huimin also wanted to make this deal happen, and she had been trying to convince the leaders of the state-owned capital side.

The state-owned capital finally made a "wise and bold" decision.

They want to invest 10 billion to save Sihai Group.

After all, in today's world, the electronics industry is still very popular.

Sihai Group has a certain foundation. As long as it is managed properly, it may be able to soar into the sky and become the biggest competitor of Sanjiang Company!

When Li Yunhai heard the news, he was silent for a moment.

Lin Zhi also found it incredible and said, "Are they crazy? Knowing that this is a bottomless pit, they still want to invest another billion in it? I'm afraid there won't be even a bubble in it!"

Li Yunhai said: "This shows that they really care about Sihai Group and they really want to make this company better. It's just a pity that they don't have the talent in this area!"

Lin Zhi asked, "So you don't plan to take back Sihai Group? If their reform is successful, they won't sell the company anymore."

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "I am looking forward to that day! But I am afraid I won't see it in my lifetime!"

The state-owned capital party did not replace Song Huimin, but added two deputies to her.

Song Huimin was given the task at a critical moment and was given 10 billion yuan to lead the Sihai Group to a comeback.

One billion may seem like a lot, but it is spent as fast as water.

The most important thing is that these people have the money but don’t know where to spend it!
If the company's development direction is wrong, the more money it spends, the further it will go on the wrong path.

By the summer, Sihai Group’s one billion yuan had been spent!

However, they neither developed a new type of lithography machine nor turned losses into profits.

They haven't even researched and produced a new type of mobile phone.

At this time, Li Yunhai took his wife to Hong Kong to spend the summer vacation with their children.

After Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi remarried, he rarely interacted with other lovers.

Even Guo Wanhua and Shen Xiulan hadn't seen Li Yunhai for half a year.

Li Yunhai seemed to have returned to 1984, when he had just been together with Lin Zhi. They were deeply in love and affectionate with each other, and only had each other in their hearts and eyes.

Women like Shen Xiulan were angry about Li Yunhai's remarriage, so they chose to go into a cold war and ignore him.

Little did they know that this was exactly Lin Zhi's strategy and purpose.

A few days after Li Yunhai arrived in Hong Kong, he received a call from Song Huimin, saying that the state-owned capital was willing to have a good talk with Mr. Li.

Li Yunhai asked her: "What to talk about?"

Song Huimin smiled and said, "Boss Li, of course we're talking about the acquisition. This time, they've really thought it through and know that no matter how much money they spend, they can't save Sihai Group, so they sincerely want to sell it."

Li Yunhai said: "Really? That's fine! But the price has changed again! The most I can offer is 10 billion!"

The smile on Song Huimin's face suddenly froze.

She asked hesitantly, "Boss Li, didn't we agree on 20 billion before?"

Li Yunhai said calmly: "That was in the past, the price has dropped now!"

Song Huimin asked quietly, "What about the commission you gave me? Is it still 20 million?"

Li Yunhai was stunned, thinking that this woman was only worried about her commission! (End of this chapter)
