Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Why is he everywhere?
"I'll call Zhang Qiuxue again to see if she can sell any more shares," Yang Tiancheng's eyes flickered.
"Yes, yes, as long as Zhang Qiuxue is willing to sell more shares, we still have room to maneuver," Yang Jingsheng nodded repeatedly, "Dad, call her quickly."
Without saying much more, Yang Tiancheng dialed Zhang Qiuxue's number again.
"President Yang, what else do you need?" Zhang Qiuxue asked.
"President Zhang, I wanted to ask if you are still willing to sell shares, we are still willing to invest," Yang Tiancheng asked.
"I'm sorry, I was looking to raise ten billion, and I've got that now, so I don't need to sell any more shares," Zhang Qiuxue replied indifferently.
"President Zhang, I'm not asking for much, even five percent will do, I'm willing to pay a ten percent premium, what do you think?" Yang Tiancheng was unwilling to give up.
"Sorry, not selling."
With that, Zhang Qiuxue hung up the phone.
On Yang Tiancheng's end, there was nothing he could do but put down the phone with a troubled expression.
Seeing his father's expression, Yang Jingsheng knew it hadn't worked out and quickly said, "Dad, what do we do now?"
Yang Tiancheng replied bitterly, "What can we do? We can only report the truth to Chen Guanglei now."
Yang Jingsheng asked, "Dad, do you think Chen Guanglei will forgive us?"
Yang Tiancheng shook his head, "I don't know, whether he forgives us or not, we have to make this call."
Yang Jingsheng added, "Dad, you helped him take the president's position, he can't just turn his back on us like this."
Yang Tiancheng said, "Let's not talk about that again, especially not in front of Chen Guanglei. If he hears it, he might think we're expecting something from him."
Yang Jingsheng replied, "I know, I was just saying."
Yang Tiancheng didn't say anything more and dialed Chen Guanglei's phone number.
The call was quickly answered.
"Yang Tiancheng, has the acquisition been successful?" Chen Guanglei asked directly.
"President Chen, the acquisition was not successful," Yang Tiancheng replied.
"Then what's the matter?" Chen Guanglei asked.
He hadn't considered the possibility that someone else would have already snapped up the acquisition.
After all, Qianjiao Company had been seeking investment for the past six months without success.
Basically, it was in a state of being unattractive to investors.
If Yang Tiancheng was to acquire it at the ten billion price Zhang Qiuxue asked for, there would have been no difficulty whatsoever.
Yang Tiancheng wanted to acquire Qianjiao Company at the lowest possible price.
On this point, he had Chen Guanglei's approval.
Since no one else was competing, they could drive down the price to maximize benefits.
Not succeeding in the acquisition, Yang Tiancheng was calling him, probably because there was something else he needed to discuss.
"President Chen, Qianjiao Company has already been acquired by someone else," Yang Tiancheng stated.
"What? Acquired by someone else? Didn't you say this morning that negotiations were very successful? Weren't you confident that after another round of talks tomorrow, you could persuade them?" Chen Guanglei's complexion changed instantly.
He knew that investing in Qianjiao Company was a decision made by all the shareholders.
They had discovered that Qianjiao Company was a great company with excellent product reputations; it only had a slight operational issue.
It was just that no investment magnates had noticed, otherwise, it would not have been their turn to acquire it.
This was unquestionably a profitable investment.
So the company was very generous, providing ten billion in funds.
They wanted a swift acquisition to avoid any complications.
Buying at the lowest possible price was a decision made by Yang Tiancheng, with Chen Guanglei's support.
This was all happening behind the scenes.
Originally, such behavior, if the acquisition had ended successfully, would definitely have won the admiration of shareholders and executives.
Not only would Yang Tiancheng have established a foothold at KaiXuan Investments.
Even Chen Guanglei's position as president would have been much more stable.
But now, Qianjiao Company had been preemptively acquired by someone else, so everything became problematic.
What exactly did Yang Tiancheng do, how did he let someone else get ahead of him in the acquisition?!
"President Chen, I didn't expect it, Xu Yang that guy came out of nowhere, and he acquired it with lightning speed, I simply had no time to react," Yang Tiancheng lamented.
"Who did you say? Xu Yang?" Chen Guanglei exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, that guy arrived, negotiated with Zhang Qiuxue, and directly acquired it, no price haggling, bought it for ten billion."
"Such a situation is almost impossible for anyone else."
"Xu Yang is obviously not playing by the rules, I was caught off guard, I had no time to react."
Yang Tiancheng shifted the primary responsibility onto Xu Yang.
After all, Xu Yang couldn't hear them, and even Chen Guanglei didn't dare and was unable to do anything to Xu Yang.
Moreover, since Chen Guanglei had a grudge against Xu Yang, it was impossible for him to call Xu Yang and verify the situation with him.
There was no need to worry about Xu Yang's dissatisfaction or any retaliatory issues.
"Xu Yang that bastard, how does he turn up everywhere? We finally identified a good company to invest in, only for him to step in first!" Chen Guanglei couldn't help but curse.
At Wang Xiaocong's birthday party last time, he didn't apologize to Xu Yang because he couldn't let go of his pride.
Although he had decided not to trouble Xu Yang anymore,
he still felt unhappy about Xu Yang in his heart.
Now, Xu Yang had actually stepped in and snatched their company's investment target, literally blocking his way to make money.
He couldn't do anything to Xu Yang, but if he didn't vent with a few curses, he wouldn't be able to calm the hatred in his heart.
"Yeah, with him cutting in like that, there's nothing we can do," Yang Tiancheng, realizing that Chen Guanglei was cursing Xu Yang and not him, felt much more at ease.
"Yang Tiancheng, even so, I'm afraid you still can't stay with the company. You must understand, other shareholders took this acquisition very seriously. Your failure to secure it is hugely disadvantageous for you," Chen Guanglei said.
"President Chen, I am willing to remain a manager and am not thinking about any vice-president position, can't it be like this? Although I bear responsibility for this failure, the main blame belongs to Xu Yang. If it weren't for him, I would have certainly secured it," Yang Tiancheng expressed his desire to retain his managerial position.
With a position, there would be opportunities in the future.
Otherwise, considering his current situation, going to other companies to work would probably be much the same.
Better to stay at KaiXuan Investments, where Chen Guanglei's support could make it much easier to advance further in the future.
"Well, I can only say, I'll try to discuss it with those shareholders and executives."
"At tomorrow's routine meeting, I'll first gauge their attitude. If they are particularly stubborn, I can't help you,"
"I can only say that I'll do my best to keep you. You know, I personally value your capabilities highly,"
Chen Guanglei was indeed speaking the truth; Yang Tiancheng's assistance in acquiring the presidency had proven his ability.
Having Yang Tiancheng in the company was very beneficial for his own development.
It wouldn't be so easy for those shareholders or executives to pull him down from his position.
"Alright, thank you for your trust, President Chen," Yang Tiancheng said.
"No need for thanks, you're working for me, I know what to do. Alright, since the acquisition was unsuccessful, you guys head back to Jiang City tomorrow, no need to stay there any longer,"
Having said this, Chen Guanglei hung up the phone.
After putting down his phone, his face darkened.
If it weren't for valuing Yang Tiancheng's capabilities, he would definitely have let Yang Tiancheng go.
"Yang Tiancheng can stay at the company, but that useless Yang Jingsheng, just get rid of him!"
Chen Guanglei made his decision.
