The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 314: Chapter 305: Lin Mu’s Ambition

In fact, Meng Guoxiong had also thought about this reasoning, and he even had this idea before, but the problem is right here. These two companies are like hot potatoes, basically unprofitable, and there are still so many workers in the factory that no one dares to take over. Even if they do, they can’t offer a high price; selling at a dirt-cheap price won’t satisfy the higher-ups either!

"Ah, Lin Mu, what you’re saying sounds good, but for such a mess, which rich person would want to take it over?" Meng Guoxiong said with a bitter smile.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Uncle, I’m actually interested in this. If you have the intention, I’d like to take it over, transition from a nationalized to a privatized company. I am confident I can revive it, but, of course, I also need your trust and the government’s support!"

"Do you dare to take it over? This is a real mess!" Meng Guoxiong reminded with a frown.

"Uncle, I know it’s a mess, but I still want to give it a try. I believe that the reason the enterprise got to this point is purely due to systemic issues and problems with state-owned enterprises, not the workers’ creativity. A large factory with over ten thousand people has extraordinary strength and creativity. However, with the current system, there are too many drawbacks. If it’s handed to me, I am confident and capable of turning it around within a year with my overseas work experience and connections, making it big and strong again!" Lin Mu said, locking eyes with Meng Guoxiong confidently.

Having someone take over is naturally a good thing; it also solves Meng Guoxiong’s worries, allowing a super wealthy person to take over. This can also drive synchronous city development. As a provincial committee secretary, he has the power to transition state-owned enterprises to private ones, all with just a word from him. But Lin Mu is still young. If his business fails in this area, it will be a substantial setback, and climbing up again won’t be easy. Moreover, at that time, thousands of people might lose their jobs!

"Lin Mu, this is no small matter. You need to choose carefully!" Meng Guoxiong warned.

"Uncle, rest assured. I have the confidence that within a year, as long as I get the government’s strong support, I can entirely make it work!" Lin Mu nodded in agreement.

"Government support is not a difficult matter. I can bring it up at the meeting later. But regarding funding, although these two companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, they still have value, at least a market value of a billion!" Meng Guoxiong stated.

Lin Mu nodded, understanding the value of these two companies. In fact, Lin Mu knew Meng Guoxiong had understated it. In Lin Mu’s estimate, it needed at least an additional twenty million!

"Uncle, rest assured, money is not a problem!" Lin Mu nodded and said.

"Haha, since that’s the case, join me this afternoon to attend the city leaders meeting to discuss these matters. If there’s no problem, these two companies can be entrusted to your management. As for government support, rest assured, it’s just a matter of a word for me!" Meng Guoxiong laughed heartily.

Lin Mu naturally felt assured. His confidence was also because of his relationship with Meng Guoxiong. Don’t underestimate such a small relationship, as it has infinite impact. Without a heavyweight figure like Meng Guoxiong, Lin Mu wouldn’t dare to make decisions lightly. Other second-in-commands are weak and wouldn’t dare to promise him anything. Moreover, the transfer price of the factory wouldn’t be less than fifty million!

In other words, this time, indirectly, Meng Guoxiong has helped Lin Mu significantly. The transfer price set by Meng Guoxiong naturally demands respect; others dare not refute easily or secretly raise the price!

"Haha, then thank you, Uncle." Lin Mu smiled and said.

"Xiaomu, don’t say that. In fact, I was worried that the factory wouldn’t be transferred out. I should be the one thanking you!" Meng Guoxiong laughed heartily!

Meng Guoxiong was right; in the city now, no one dared to take over these two companies except Lin Mu. Not to mention the transfer price, just the wages and expenses in the factory are astronomical numbers!

Wancheng has three major families: South Korea and North Chen, plus the Su’s Great Enterprise Group, a Fortune 500 company. These are capable of acquiring it, but they all have mature operating systems and don’t need to take the risks for these two failing factories. They invest in high-return industries!

Because these two companies are difficult to turn profitable in a short time, which means there may be ongoing investments for a year or several years, spending money to maintain the workers, and only after a year of good management will they begin to profit normally. If not well managed, it’s a bottomless pit that only demands more money!

"Alright, you two old and young, talking on and on about business. Dad, I still want Brother Lin to take me around!" Meng Wei’Er pouted with cherry lips, unable to bear listening to their business talk.

"Ah, you little rascal!" Meng Guoxiong smiled, pointing at Meng Wei’Er, then said to Lin Mu with a tone of an elder, "Lin Mu, this girl insisted on following me here, saying she wants to have fun. If you’re free, take her around a bit as a favor to me, sparing me from her antics. This afternoon, I’ll organize a city leadership meeting and bring you along to discuss the transfer issues!"

"Alright, Uncle, I’ll accompany Wei’Er for a while then!" Lin Mu nodded and smiled.

"Haha, Dad, we’re going to play now!" Meng Wei’Er giggled, grabbed Lin Mu’s hand, and ran off.

The two arrived downstairs, and at Meng Wei’Er’s suggestion, Lin Mu drove them to the well-known tourist spot Joy Valley in Wancheng.

Joy Valley has many fun attractions, perfect for the girl’s tastes. Meng Wei’Er clung to Lin Mu’s arm like a bird let out of a cage, jumping excitedly around him, eager to try everything. Lin Mu could only accompany this little princess as a guide, relaxing his mood.

Drifting, roller coasters, pirate ships... Lin Mu felt sick from all the fun, yet the girl still seemed insatiable, truly a teenage girl!

By noon, Lin Mu and Meng Wei’Er had lunch at the Western food street in Joy Valley. In the afternoon, Meng Guoxiong organized a meeting with city leaders and high-level leaders from Four Directions Pharmaceutical and Bayi Steel Group, so Lin Mu needed to return quickly!

After much convincing, Lin Mu finally persuaded the young lady to end the games. At around two in the afternoon, Lin Mu took Meng Guoxiong’s car to the city government for the meeting. All the important figures in Wancheng, almost every leader, attended.noveldrama
