Wei Wei sat in the office, looking at the progress report of the Red Star acquisition, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
The acquisition case has reached the final stage. After lengthy negotiations, the two parties finally signed an agreement yesterday.
Wei Wei has already planned to hold a press conference to announce the good news to the media, stimulate the stock price to rise, cut a wave of leeks, and make a lot of money.
After the stock price stabilized, he dismantled the Red Star Group and sold everything he could, leaving only the core chip research institute.
It is conservatively estimated that he can earn 20 to 30 billion from this amount.
Wei Wei felt happy just thinking about it, until his subordinate, Vice President Wang, ran into the office in a hurry.
"It's not good, Mr. Wei." Vice President Wang rushed in with sweat on his face, without even knocking on the door.
"What does it look like to be in a panic?" Wei Wei said dissatisfied.
Vice President Wang swallowed, calmed his breathing slightly, and said, "Mr. Wei, we found that a large number of patents from Red Star Research Institute were sold."
Wei Wei's eyes widened and he stood up from the chair.
"What did you say?" Wei Wei pulled Vice President Wang's collar and shouted, "What patent was sold?"
Vice President Wang said with a grimace: "All the Red Star Research Institute's chip patents were sold, not a single one was left."
Wei Wei shouted: "The terms of the contract we signed include the research institute's patent. How dare the Red Star Group breach the contract and sell it to others?"
Vice President Wang said: "I checked, and it turns out that the patent for their chip was not declared in the name of the research institute, but a third-party company. Our agreement does not include that company."
"You only found out about such an important thing now." Wei Wei pushed Vice President Wang away, wanting to punch him twice.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, we didn't know that Red Star Group would resort to such tactics." Vice President Wang said aggrievedly.
"That's not right." Wei Wei suddenly realized something and said, "This kind of thing can't be hidden at all. It's impossible not to find out. Who did you send to check it out?"
"It's Liu Hongsheng. He is responsible for the entire investigation of the Red Star Group."
"Call him over here." Wei Wei said angrily.
"He resigned a week ago, and you personally approved it!" Vice President Wang said.
"Resign?" Wei Wei remembered. Liu Hongsheng reported his resignation to the company a month ago, saying that he was going to immigrate abroad. He also gave him a big red envelope.
Wei Wei immediately understood that he might have been tricked by others.
Liu Hongsheng was responsible for the investigation of the Red Star Group. Now something happened and he resigned early. How could it be such a coincidence?
"Summon the people from the legal department immediately. I will recover the patent at all costs." Wei Wei said angrily.
The most valuable thing of Red Star Group is the chip research institute, and the most valuable thing of the research institute is the patent.
Without a patent, Wei Wei would have acquired an empty shell.
What's even more frightening is that once the news leaks out, Red Star's stock price will plummet, and those investors can tear Wei Weisheng apart.
Wei Wei did not have the strength to win this acquisition alone. He used Wei Guoqiang's connections to find a large number of investors, among whom the Qu family and the Yao family were not among the top investors.
If the project fails and loses money, the big guys in the Shanghai business community will have many ways to kill him.
Wei Wei realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately found a legal advisor to study the terms of the acquisition. After working for most of the night, the legal advisor gave him a piece of advice that was definitely not good.
"Mr. Wei, after studying the acquisition agreement, we found that the agreement drawn up by the other party is watertight. There is no loophole to exploit. They have every right to buy and sell patents."
Wei Wei said bitterly: "Is there really no way to get the patent back?"
The legal advisor shook his head and said: "Even if this matter goes to court, our chances of winning are not high, and this patent lawsuit will drag on for several years."
Wei Wei swallowed and said, "Is there any way to break the contract?"
The legal consultant said: "According to the terms of the contract, from the date of signature, your company must fulfill its contractual obligations and deal with the debt problem of Hongxin Group. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a breach of contract and will be required to pay liquidated damages."
"I don't want to be an empty shell even if I have to pay for it." Wei Wei said angrily.
After losing the research institute's patent, Red Star Group was still burdened with a large amount of debt. When negotiating the acquisition, Wei Wei's condition was to buy the debt together.
Originally this was a concession to successfully win the institute, but unexpectedly it turned out to be shooting myself in the foot.
After studying the terms, the legal consultant said: "We have studied with your company's legal department. Although compensation for liquidated damages is also an option, the cost is too high."
Wei Wei frowned and said, "How big is it?"
"You'll lose somewhere between six and a billion."
Wei Wei took a breath of cold air and exclaimed: "Is the liquidated damages so much?"
"The amount of liquidated damages was set relatively high originally because we wanted to limit the other party," said Lao Jin, director of the legal department.
"Trash, you are all trash." Wei Wei roared angrily.
"Mr. Wei, we have studied it." Vice President Wang said: "Although the agreement is not good for us, the Red Star acquisition is not without profit."
Wei Wei asked back: "Without the patent, how much would those broken factories and machines be worth?"
Vice President Wang let the others go out first, while he walked to Wei Wei's ear and said, "Actually, we can make up for the losses from the stock market."
Wei Wei narrowed his eyes and said: "You mean to continue to release news of the successful acquisition and stimulate the stock price to skyrocket."
Vice President Wang nodded and said: "Actually, although the patents of the institute are important, they cannot be realized in a short time. On the contrary, if the stock price rises, we can make a lot of money. As long as the company is profitable, those investors will be satisfied and continue to invest their money."
In our company."
Wei Wei touched his chin and said with satisfaction: "Yes, our original plan to acquire Red Star was to make money in finance. It doesn't matter whether we have patents or not."
Vice President Wang said again: "Besides, the factories and machines of Red Star Group are not valuable, but the land is!"
Wei Wei's eyes lit up again.
In Shanghai, every inch of land is valuable. Although the Red Star Group factory is not in the core area, its location is not too remote. If it is run well, it can make a lot of money.
"But we had an agreement with Red Star that we had to take over the factory workers. If we sell the land, the factory will have to close. What will happen to those workers?" Wei Wei asked worriedly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We promised Red Star not to lay off employees, but we did not say we would not close the factory. At worst, we would arrange those workers to other jobs." Vice President Wang asked.
"Where can we move so many workers?" Wei Wei asked.
"I can just go anywhere, sweep streets and clean toilets, I'll be paid the minimum wage, and if I find the salary is too low, I'll resign. It has nothing to do with us anyway.
We are fully operating in accordance with the contract and have not laid off anyone. We cannot blame them for resigning themselves," Vice President Wang said sinisterly.
Wei Wei laughed, patted Vice President Wang's face with satisfaction, and said, "You kid, you have so many evil ideas!"
Vice President Wang smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, just don't hold me accountable for my fault."
Wei Wei put away his smile and said, "Who bought the patent?"
Vice President Wang said: "It is a small Internet company that has only been established for one year."
Wei Wei said: "If we check again, it is impossible for a small company like this to have the strength to take over the patent. There must be someone behind it."
"Yes, I will arrange for someone to check."
Vice President Wang took the order and left, while Wei Wei stood in front of the window with a gloomy face.
"I guessed it was you without checking, Tan Zongming." Wei Wei said bitterly.
Wei Wei was so familiar with the Red Star acquisition case and had the ability to deceive his people, so Wei Wei could guess it without even thinking.
"It's not that easy if you want to drive me away." Wei Weiyin said harshly.

Qu Xiaoxiao’s head is now as big as a hemp, and her heart is full of entanglements.
Qu's father finally decided to spend 100 million to redeem Qu Lianjie.
Qu's mother threatened to divorce on the spot and followed her daughter back to the Ode to Joy Community with her bag in hand.
Later, Qu Xiaoxiao found out that her mother had long been divorced, had secretly transferred company assets, and bought more than twenty houses in Shanghai in her name.
When she saw those real estate certificates, Qu Xiaoxiao didn’t know she was so rich!
"Mom, are you crazy? It is illegal to transfer company property!" Qu Xiaoxiao was not happy at all while holding the house book.
"If I didn't transfer the money in advance, it wouldn't end up with that prodigal son Qu Lianjie. Your father and I worked hard for the Qu family, and I have half of it. Now I'm just taking the share I deserve."
." Qu Mu thought she was right.
Qu Xiaoxiao had a big head and was a little at a loss for a while, so she couldn't help but want to ask Andy for help.
When Qu Xiaoxiao encounters problems at work, she always consults Andy, and it has become a habit.
Andy happened to be studying the coffee competition with Wang Gang and Qiu Yingying, so he called Qu Xiaoxiao to the company.
Wang Gang and Qiu Yingying were not outsiders, so Qu Xiaoxiao told them everything about the family and wanted them to give them some advice.
"Your parents are really a perfect match. One wants to sell the company to save his son, and the other transfers the company's property privately. You really treat the company as your private property!" Wang Gang said disdainfully.
