Chapter 1967: Walking Into a Trap
In the following two days, under the leadership of Hsieh Chang-ting, Lin Feng visited companies such as "ASUS" and "GIGABYTE". During the visit, Lin Feng was warmly received by these companies. Except for a few core departments that refused to visit, the rest of the departments almost allowed Lin Feng to visit.
For this, Hsieh Chang-ting naturally felt very proud. He thought that it was because of him that these companies were so open to Lin Feng. In fact, he never realized that these companies had never looked at him directly. They had only looked at one person from beginning to end - Lin Feng. It was not because Lin Feng was the richest man in the world that they valued Lin Feng so much, but because Lin Feng was the president of "Second World", and these companies all depended on "Second World" for their livelihood. It would be very beneficial for them to have a good relationship with Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, have you got any clues these two days?" Hsieh Chang-ting asked with a proud look on his face.
Lin Feng smiled faintly and did not expose Hsieh Chang-ting's complacency. In the past two days, Lin Feng dragged Hsieh Chang-ting around. In addition to taking the opportunity to observe companies such as "Gigabyte" and "Asus" and make friends with them, it was also to hold Hsieh Chang-ting back. Lin Feng has found out through Guo Taiming's relationship that the reason why Lin Kunhai was so disrespectful, even to Guo Taiming, was for his master behind him, Hsieh Chang-ting.
Therefore, Lin Feng wanted to hold Hsieh Chang-ting back for his plan to seize "Sanli Television". He wanted to hold Hsieh Chang-ting back so that he would not have the opportunity to reinforce Lin Kun-hai. At present, Lin Feng has contacted Fubon Financial Holding, which owns 8.6% of the shares, and Hong Kong r-tal Fund Company, which owns 17% of the shares. The two sides have reached an agreement that Lin Feng will acquire a total of 25.6% of the shares held by the two companies at a price of NT$65 per share.
However, 8.6% of Fubon Financial Holdings has been in Lin Feng's hands, but because of the contract with Lin Kunhai, he has the right of first refusal, so Lin Feng cannot buy 17% of the shares of Hong Kong R-TAL Fund Company immediately. He must let Lin Kunhai consider for a period of time whether to buy back at the same price as Lin Feng. If he gives up the acquisition, then Lin Feng can buy 17% of the shares.
With Lin Kunhai's wealth, he can't come up with 1.3 billion New Taiwan dollars. He can only find Xie Changting, and let Xie Changting take the lead to let the bank lend money, and delaying Xie Changting is Lin Feng's mission on this trip.
"President Xie, I have a clue. Look, this is where I want to build a factory." Lin Feng took out a map and pointed to one of the plots of land.
Xie Changting frowned.
"Mr. Lin, this piece of land is really good, with convenient transportation and good terrain around it. It is not easily affected by earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. But this piece of land has already been owned. It is not easy for Mr. Lin to build a factory here!" Xie Changting said.
"Haha, this depends on President Xie. I believe that there is nothing that President Xie can't do in Taiwan." Lin Feng boasted.
"Mr. Lin,
You can't say that, I..." Hsieh Chang-ting refused again and again.
"President Xie, I'll leave this matter to you. As long as you can help me get it done, I will never forget your kindness. This is a check for one million US dollars, which will be used as travel expenses first. I will be responsible for all other related expenses. As for the thank-you fee afterwards, President Xie, you can believe my sincerity!" Lin Feng patted his chest and said.
Hiss! Hsieh Chang-ting took a breath. This travel fee is one million US dollars. Lin Feng's generosity is really well deserved! If it's a thank-you fee, I don't know how much it will be. Thinking of this, Hsieh Chang-ting was moved. Yes, he was moved.
But isn't Hsieh Chang-ting the president of the "Executive Yuan" and an important member of Chen Shui-bian's cabinet? How dare he openly accept bribes? This is not surprising at all. This is the custom in Taiwan. There has always been a tradition of buying and selling officials. Moreover, the bribery of businessmen is like a nobleman crossing the river. Although there is an anti-corruption department, the anti-corruption cannot reach him. Moreover, this is just a favor for Lin Feng, and he has not made any mistakes. So Hsieh Chang-ting is very at ease.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I will ask about this matter for you. If it doesn't work, I will ask Leader Chen (Hsieh Chang-ting knows that Lin Feng dislikes hearing the word president, and for the sake of money, he will follow Lin Feng's wishes and call him leader instead of president). I believe that as long as it does not violate Taiwan's laws, there will be absolutely no problem." Hsieh Chang-ting said in a roundabout way.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will definitely have a heart." Lin Feng naturally heard what Hsieh Chang-ting meant.
Hsieh Chang-ting laughed.
But at this moment, a phone call came.
"What? Guo Taiming forcefully acquired your Sanli TV shares, and told all banks in Taiwan not to lend to you, otherwise it would be against Guo Taiming! This is unreasonable!" Hsieh Chang-ting slammed the table in anger.
"Lin Kunhai, go find President Zhao and tell him that it was me, Hsieh Chang-ting, who said that. Ask him to fully cooperate with you. What! President Zhao asked me to talk to Terry Gou! Asshole!" Hsieh Chang-ting's face was distorted.
"Okay, I know about this matter. Don't worry. Your Sanli will be saved." Hsieh Chang-ting hung up the phone angrily and was about to call Terry Gou.
"President Hsieh, please wait. I just heard you mention Lao Guo. What happened to Lao Guo?" Lin Feng said.
Hsieh Chang-ting frowned. Is Terry Gou's sudden desire to acquire Sanli TV related to Lin Feng? However, Lin Kunhai did offend Terry Gou that day, and it was reasonable for Terry Gou to seek revenge on Lin Kunhai. And with Terry Gou's current status and position in Taiwan, if he said something, it is true that major banks in Taiwan would not dare to lend money to Lin Kunhai.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Guo is going to acquire Sanlih TV. Do you know about this?" said Hsieh Chang-ting.
"Ah? He really wants to acquire Sanlih TV?" Lin Feng was stunned. "But this is great. Lin Kun-hai, that bastard, was full of evil intentions. He invited a large group of thugs to dinner. It is really gratifying that Guo is avenging him!"
Hsieh Chang-ting was really a little amused. He didn't know what to do after hearing what Lin Feng said. But no matter what, he must meet with Guo Taiming now. Sanlih TV must be saved. Because it plays a very important role in the election of the blue and green camps, it can be said to be the mouthpiece of the green camp (pro-DPP). If Sanlih TV is lost, it will be a blow to the DPP.
"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you can do me a favor and accompany me to meet Guo Taiming. If you can help me persuade Guo Taiming to give up the acquisition of Sanlih TV, I can persuade Lin Kun-hai to give you the prime time of "It Starts with a Kiss." said Hsieh Chang-ting.
Ha! Give me back my prime time slot, do you think I'm a beggar? You can easily erase my time slot and give it back to me. Am I so easy to bully? - Lin Feng was disdainful. But it was not easy to turn against Hsieh Chang-ting at this moment, and he smiled faintly.
"Okay, I'll accompany you for a trip!" Lin Feng laughed.
Hsieh Chang-ting instinctively felt bad, but he had no choice at the moment, so he could only leave it like this. Everything will be discussed after meeting Terry Gou.
