He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 222 Platform

ZG Company.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Zhao Xing, Wang Yan returned to Shanghai, eager to get started.

The company is now basically managed by Xu Jingyan.

Well, actually, when Wang Yan was around, and when I was around, it was basically her who was running and maintaining things.

office.

In the rare tranquility, I took out a book and quickly became engrossed in it.

I fell asleep after reading just two pages.

Let's take another look; we can flip through a few more chapters.

Now, I want to read, but I'm always busy.

I put down the book, feeling mentally satisfied, but my stomach was still growling. I looked up and saw Xu Jingyan sitting in front of me.

"When did you arrive?"

"It's been a while since I've woken you up because I've seen you engrossed in your book. There are quite a few books in this room; I thought they were just decorations."

"I'm just too busy to watch it, but you can come and take a look if you're interested."

"I'm busier than you."

"Thank you. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xu Jingyan stood up and locked the office door from the inside.

"Regarding some issues with employees within the company. As the company grows, such things are bound to happen. I have used systems to eliminate most of the possibilities, but embezzlement still occurs in the sales department, purchasing department, and logistics department."

"Is there concrete evidence?"

"Yes, some were reported by people, and some were reported by customers. Many of those who violated the regulations were original long-time residents of ZG."

"Don't worry about it."

"Won't this affect the company's stability?"

"Of course they will, but these people are most likely also from the Zhou family. Once the company is returned to the Zhou family, it will be an internal problem for them."

"Boss, I don't understand. Why do you keep saying the company should be returned to the Zhou family? Since it's going to be sold anyway, why not find a few more companies? It has to be sold to the Zhou family."

"Jingyan, why are you so willing to work so hard for the Wang family?"

"Because the Wang family sponsored my schooling, I have been working for the Wang family ever since I graduated."

Do you know why Wang Yan likes me?

"Speaking of which, I would also like to remind the boss that Yan Yan is still young and immature in matters of the heart. You should be more mindful of your boundaries in daily life."

I said helplessly, "Yan Yan has a high IQ and EQ, at least higher than yours. I told her I had a fiancée when I was in Shanghai, and I was just short of bringing her to China."

Xu Jingyan glared at her: "I don't care, as long as I'm here, you're not allowed to do anything bad to Yan Yan."

I stood up and walked to Xu Jingyan's side: "Then tell me, what am I, a man, doing, spending most of my time away from home, with my fiancée not by my side, and without any emotional support?"

Xu Jingyan and I looked at each other, but in the end, her eyes gave in.

"Boss, I know you're not a casual person."

"Boss, when I get slacking off, I'm not human..."

Xu Jingyan remained silent.

"Haha, just kidding. Is Manager Xu free this afternoon?"

"Boss, you can arrange things directly if needed."

"I'm planning to build a computing power industrial park in the East District. You and Yan Yan helped Zheng Peipei with the acquisition of that computing power company in Shanghai, right? So, I'd like to ask you to help me with the budget this time."

"This is not within the scope of my services this time."

"Of course, this is a favor I did as a friend."

I secretly stopped Xu Jingyan from taking the medicine. This woman is an absolute jerk. I guessed it when Wang Yan brought her here. She's the one who controls 90% of the Wang family's assets that have been transferred abroad.

No wonder I'm so at ease; his competence and loyalty were cultivated from a young age.

"Boss, please have some self-respect. I will record everything you did today without missing a single detail and relay it to Yan Yan."

I reluctantly lowered my wrist: "Heh, feels good. I hope you'll pass that on to me too."

"Now that ZG's acquisition of the listed company is complete, can we start pre-IPO negotiations?"

What is the company's current valuation?

"Now that it's peak sales season, our revenue, market share, and accounts receivable have all increased by 40%, and the company is valued at around 6 million."

A supply chain finance company's pre-IPO valuation is 6 million yuan. The pre-IPO sale price (merger/transfer) is usually between 3.6 million and 6.6 million yuan, depending on four key factors: transaction structure, buyer type, IPO certainty, and company quality. If the company has high profitability, strong technology attributes, and a high-quality listing platform, the valuation can reach 9 million to 12 billion yuan; if it is a traditional asset-heavy company with average profitability and a poor market environment, the valuation may be in the range of 5 million to 6 million yuan.

It's obvious that ZG falls into the latter category, and it will only sell for a maximum of 6 million...

Actually, I'd rather work for a tech company...

"Let's start the business negotiations next month. The sooner we finish, the sooner you can return to Shanghai."

"OK."

"Next, come with me to the East District."

When they arrived at the industrial park, Qiu Zhanyu was already there. Surprisingly, Qiu Zhanyu's wife, Chen Yitang, the director of the first division of the provincial Party committee's organization department, was also there, as was Wu Yingrong.

Um... a famous scene...

Both Qiu Zhanyu and his wife were wearing business suits and stood very close to each other, far below the safe distance between people, making it obvious that they were a couple.

Wu Yingrong's outfit today was much simpler. She wore a tracksuit, a baseball cap, and her hair was tied in a ponytail. She only wore lipstick and had no other makeup on her face.

The two exchanged a few words occasionally, and there was no indication that they had any ill feelings towards each other.

As expected, Chen Yitang knew about Wu Yingrong's existence. After all, it had been over ten years; how could she not know whether her husband was having an affair? At the very least, she should know perfectly well whether he was doing his homework properly.

If some men or women find that their partner's homework quality has plummeted, don't doubt it—someone else has definitely checked it for them.

"Tianyi is here."

"Brother Yu, sister-in-law. This is my company's CFO. I've already explained the general situation to her."

Xu Jingyan maintained her icy expression and simply nodded in acknowledgment.

The intelligent computing power in the provincial capital can't be developed like it was in Liancheng; I have to invest a real 2 million yuan.

"Once this place is up and running, I'll close the teahouse and set up a club here. Tianyi, you'll have to help me keep an eye on things then."

"Brother Yu, what are you saying? It's all family business. By the way, I met your wife's father, Director Chen, a while ago."

Chen Yitang looked at me in surprise: "Hehe, I have heard my father mention that there is a very capable young man in Liancheng, and that person is you."

"I ran into some trouble, and I had to swallow my pride and ask someone to help me with it through Director Chen. That's when I found out you were all family. If I had known, I would have just asked my sister-in-law to help me."

"Tianyi is joking. We're practically family, so this makes us even closer."

Since it's a collaboration, we have to reveal our own strengths, otherwise we'll end up like Chen Hangtian in the beginning, becoming helpless lackeys. I was able to escape the Zhou family because of Zhou Minyi, but I wasn't so lucky when I got to the provincial capital.

You have your cards up your sleeve, and so do I. Let's reveal our cards first.

We should cooperate for mutual benefit.
