Chapter 256 Malicious Competition
[Daily Intelligence: After discussion, the board of directors of Watson Oil Company, based on the current oil market, is expected to offer you a purchase price of $200 million for a 8500 million barrel oil field, $300 million for a million barrel oil field, and $500 million for a million barrel oil field. The total value of the three oil fields sold to the other party is approximately $ million.]
[After discussion, the board of directors of Merlin Petroleum will visit you to discuss the purchase price of 8000 million, million, and million US dollars respectively. The total value of the three oil fields sold to the other party is about million US dollars.]
[After discussion, the board of directors of Weimar Petroleum Company will approach you to acquire the three oil fields at prices of US$9500 million, US$ million, and US$ million respectively. The total value of the three oil fields sold to the other party is about US$ million.]
Zhang Ailun looked at the quotes in the intelligence and thought for a while. It would be too disadvantageous to sell all three oil fields to the same company at once. Since their individual quotes varied, he would simply choose the highest quote and sell them to the three oil companies separately.
[Daily Intelligence: After discussion, the board of directors of Lightning Oil Company decided to find someone to threaten you to buy for zero yuan. They bought the oil fields at 120 million, 150 million, and 360 million respectively. Let you taste the heavy punch of capitalism and the pirate nature of Ansa. Details: They planned three sets of mature plans, which have been tried and tested. First, they hired black gangs on the street to harass your living area and manor ranch. Secondly, private detectives tracked you and filmed your whereabouts and daily life. Finally, they sent professional gunmen to kidnap you. - Long press and click to learn about the personal information of the above members. ]
Zhang Ailun:?
Damn it, are you guys tired of living?
Damn you. I want to see whether your arms are harder or my thighs are thicker.
You better not have any black material!!
No wife, no sons, no daughters.
The leader was so angry that he wanted to ask someone to draw a life and death lot, and then he would transform himself into a suicide truck and kill them.
But in the end, he restrained his murderous intent.
Because killing them is too cheap, we must torture them severely and make them bankrupt.
[Daily Intelligence: After being released on bail, Dr. Jerry's cellmates are now working as surgeons in underground black-hearted clinics in the suburbs, doing chemical research in a leaf greenhouse in the suburban White Pigeon Motorcycle Club, and begging on the streets of Little Rock. You can take action against them between 8:30 pm and 22:00 pm.]
Zhang Ailun: …
The first few people are all doing their jobs, why are there still people begging?
Zhang Ailun put away his phone, got up, put on his clothes, and washed up in the bathroom.
Dominic had already prepared the meal. They sat together and finished their hearty breakfast. Zhang Ailun took out the downloaded photos and sent them to Dominic.
"If anyone plans to join our team today, please remember to be strict during the review."
Dominic looked at the people in the photo and was a little confused. "These people seem to be homeless scavengers, right? What? Have they committed a crime? Zero-dollar shopping? Or are they wanted criminals?"
"What they did was huge. The trouble they caused was not small at all. A company with an annual revenue of over 100 million yuan was almost bankrupted. Now many people on the street want to find them. However, for those people, finding them is not of much use except making some money. But it means a lot to us."
Zhang Ailun briefly explained the matter about Parker Resource Recycling Company.
"No wonder when I called them these two days and asked them to come and collect the cans, they said they had to wait for two more days because they had to deal with internal company matters." Dominic suddenly realized that something had happened at Parker.
Then he asked, "Are you going to help the boss of Parker Company solve this problem?"
"In a sense, I am indeed helping Parker out of its predicament, but to be more precise, I am helping ourselves. Because I plan to acquire Parker, but I don't want to pay too high a price." Zhang Ailun smiled.
Dominic understood what he said.
However, he is not very interested in business competition, but being able to buy things at a more affordable price is of course the best option.
The so-called business competition is nothing more than two monks having water to drink, while three monks have no water to drink.
If you eat more, I will eat less. If I want to eat more, I will exhaust you and kick you out.
"Those scavengers joined us with bad intentions. If anyone in the team encounters them, they can send a message directly to Bailey and others, and take time to arrange some work for them. I will solve the matter then." Zhang Ailun said.
"Ok."
Dominic nodded, finished his breakfast, cleared the table, and got up to wash the dishes.
Jennifer also packed her things and went out with Sig to the Armed Nation to deal with cargo and shipping issues, transport all the arms and weapons to the port, and rent the Matsun Clippers.
Zhang Ailun rested for a while, and then went out to do some work, calling Zorro who had just gotten up. He started the Wrangler and sent a message to Reina, telling her that he needed Cooper's help.
Rena: He hasn't come to work yet. Maybe you can call him directly?
After getting Cooper's phone number from Reina, Zhang Ailan sent it directly to the other party, and the other party answered the call soon.
"Hello, how are you? Who are you looking for?" From the sound of his voice, he seemed to be still a little sleepy.
"It's me." Zhang Ailun said.
"Mr. Jin? Is there anything I can help you with?" Cooper suddenly regained consciousness and asked.
Zhang Ailun immediately explained his purpose and asked if he was familiar with the chairman of the Whale Auction.
He then said, "I met the owner of Parker at an auction. I learned that he is in some trouble and is selling his assets. He plans to consign and auction his company, but the process qualifications have not been reviewed yet. I am quite interested in this company. Can you find someone to speed up the process?"
Cooper was silent for a few seconds after hearing this. He was also a smart man. He knew that many people were eyeing Parker and wanted to buy his company at a low price. He immediately asked tentatively: "Mr. Jin, are you planning to acquire that company?"
"I do have this idea," said Zhang Ailun.
Cooper thought for a moment and said, "Although Parker has sold off a lot of assets, it still owns three factories built in the suburbs, as well as a number of employees and filtering and sorting machines. The precious metals sorted out by each factory are sold to metal companies, with monthly revenue and profits of about 150 to 200 million US dollars. It also has a series of legal certificates and qualifications. Currently, the company's equity is concentrated in the hands of Parker's boss, a few core executives and other retail investors. If you want to acquire this company through formal channels at an auction, it will cost at least 2000 to 3500 million US dollars."
"This company currently still owes the bank 2000 million US dollars in debt. The shareholders have all run away, and only three factories and equipment are left. It shouldn't be that expensive, right?" Zhang Ailun asked doubtfully.
Parker's current value lies mainly in its site construction and instruments and equipment. Each complete set of sorting machines is priced at several million US dollars.
The job does not require highly educated and skilled professionals to operate, because it is all assembly line work, and basically the workers recruited are those with high school education.
Now Parker's credit and finances are difficult to maintain, and it is about to stop production. I am afraid it can't even pay the employees' salaries. Basically, it all depends on empty promises, and the boss is about to sell his assets and run away.
Although the contract with the outsourced fleet is valid, they no longer send out vehicles to collect cans at doorsteps because there is no money available for the project. Parker basically does not have its own fleet resources because outsourcing is cheaper.
Buying garbage trucks and lorries requires at least a dozen vehicles, which costs several million dollars at a time. Drivers need to be hired later, and if an accident occurs, the company needs to pay for workers' compensation. Outsourcing does not require these issues. If something goes wrong, the company will make a profit directly, and the most it loses is some electronic waste.
Jin Rachel was dealing in electronic scrap in the suburbs, but the outsourced driver fled the scene after the accident.
If it is the company's own car, and the driver has some lawyer friends in the union, he will definitely ask the company for work injury compensation, and the company will have to sue the victim, and there will be no way out.
After all, the legal regulations between employees and bosses on the West Coast have always been sharp.
"I have included the bank debt and compensation amount. This company has now been judged as a high-risk company with a serious credit crisis. If you acquire this company, you will have to repay and inherit the debt disputes, as well as bear the market responsibilities. You may not be able to recruit people. The actual value of the company is only $1500 million now."
Cooper said: "Spending 1500 million to buy this company, you need to bear 2000 million US dollars of debt, and you have to appease employees and provide benefits. This is a complete loss-making business in terms of initial investment. But if it is managed properly, it should be fully recovered in half a year."
"If Parker really repays its bank debts and settles all debt disputes, it probably won't consider selling the company."
Zhang Ailun didn't care about the debt dispute. To be honest, he went there for the debt dispute in the first place.
If he couldn't sue the victim's family and the Blue Recycling Company, what was the point? He was still not happy.
At that time, we will provide witnesses and evidence to the court, accuse the other party of malicious competition, and claim back all the money paid to the victims' families and the losses from the Blue Company to get our revenge!
If the Blue Company becomes weak and collapses, maybe he can then buy some assets from the other party at a low price.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a profitable business, and the market share and influence skyrocketed in an instant!
As for the employee issue, there is no need to worry. The salary and benefits remain unchanged. Ordinary workers with a high school education can earn $2500-4000 per month, and supervisors can earn $8-10 per year. They can do the job if they can, and be fired if they can't.
The chief leader has hundreds of people under him and is worried about how to arrange employment. What he has the most is employees. He can feel at ease using his own people. When the time comes, he will make a major change inside and outside the team and replace them all!
Cooper saw that the chief was so eager to buy the company, so he stopped trying to persuade him and said, "The chairman of the Whale Auction is quite familiar with the congressman. I can let Mr. Jackson know."
"The owner of Parker Company is selling his assets. There is a fully furnished apartment in the fifth district. Perhaps Mr. Jackson would be interested." Zhang Allen also took out his own chips.
"I will go and inform the congressman now." When Cooper heard that there was something beneficial to be gained, he immediately went to do the job.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ailun and Zorro waited on the roadside for a while. The other party also got off the car and bought breakfast at a convenience store. They ate and talked while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the West Coast. About half an hour later, Cooper sent another message.
Cooper: Mr. Jackson has notified the chairman of the Whale Auction. The other party has approved Parker's qualifications and issued a notice that an auction is expected to be held tomorrow.
Zhang Ailun: Ok, I will contact Mr. Parker now and have a chat with him.
After searching on , I saw a house in District 5 that was listed for consignment. Mr. Parker sold his house, car and private yacht at the auction, but many of his assets failed to sell.
A fully furnished apartment in the eastern region and a Newport sea view villa in southern Los Angeles failed to be sold due to price issues.
As for the finely decorated apartments in the southern fifth district, they were not listed at the auction because they were not well-known. After all, those who could participate in the auction had at least two million in assets, and there were many multimillionaires. No one would buy a house in the south, right? This place was notoriously chaotic and poor.
Except for our congressman who is in need, after all, District 5 is his hometown and base, and he is about to go through a divorce lawsuit and live on the streets.
Although he has fully furnished apartments purchased with loans in other districts and the city center, what will the citizens think of him if he doesn't even buy a house in District 5?
This is a betrayal of the citizens! Forget about the next election.
Zhang Ailun contacted the other party directly and explained his purpose: Hello, Mr. Parker, I am Juan Jin from Alfred Recycling Station. I saw the two houses you are selling on , one is located in a prosperous community in District 5, and the other is a sea view villa in Newport in southern Los Angeles. Are you interested in chatting?
Parker: Hello, Mr. Jin, I didn't expect you to be interested in my house. I have time to go with you to see the house. Where are you now? I can go to you directly.
Allen Zhang: Let’s meet at the apartment complex in District 5.
Parker: OK.
Putting away his phone, Zhang Allen asked Zorro to get in the car and drove to the apartment community building.
I parked on the side of the road and waited outside for a while, and soon I saw an online-hailing car parked at the intersection.
Boss Parker got out of the car with a haggard face, looking around with a half-happy and half-worried look.
Zhang Allen got out of the car and greeted him, "Here! Mr. Parker."
"Hello, Mr. King." Boss Parker immediately walked over, extended his hand enthusiastically and shook it, saying hello. He glanced at Zorro next to him, and then looked at the Wrangler with envy, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, we just got here too." Zhang Ailun smiled. "I saw your apartment building on and thought the location was great, so I wanted to buy it. There is also another sea view villa. If the price is right, I will also consider buying it. I may have to trouble you to take us there again."
"That's not a problem at all, but are you sure you want to buy my apartment building?"
Boss Parker also knows the current wealth of the chief leader, which is at least hundreds of millions of dollars in oil assets, and that is money that can be converted into cash at any time.
If it was a villa, it would be more in line with his status, but he had not expected to buy this apartment building. After all, it was located in District 5, and even if it was a prosperous area, the selling price would be at most four or five hundred thousand dollars.
And he came at a wrong time, it would have been better if he had come half an hour earlier.
"I'm giving it to someone else." Zhang Ailun smiled and said, "A friend of mine has run into some trouble recently and needs a house to live in."
"It's a blessing to be your friend." Boss Parker sighed.
He took the two of them into the community and came to the front of the apartment building. He took out the room card to identify the electromagnetic signal of the door lock and used the fingerprint to unlock it. The door lock was quite high-end.
