Society owes me a brother

Chapter 134

"Modun can't accept such a request, never!"

A huge fist hit the negotiating table fiercely, and the director of the R&D department of Modun stared viciously at Yue Bin and others on the opposite side of the table, and roared angrily: "You are insulting the brand reputation of Modun, it's not fair. .”

"In fact, it would be unfair if we spent 3000 million dollars and didn't get what we really wanted."

"But you don't have any evidence to prove that Modun deliberately concealed information during the negotiation—the purpose is just to make the buyer lose profits." The CEO of Modun also looked very bad.However, compared to the head of the R&D department who has fallen into a frenzied mood, his attitude can still be called polite.

"If I had evidence, we wouldn't stay here to make such a request now," Yue Bin leaned against the back of the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, crossed his hands on his lap, and looked calm and composed, Shi Shiran added: "I will leave the negotiating table directly."

"Then terminate this absurd negotiation!" the head of Mordun's R&D department gritted his teeth: "Anyway, I'm not optimistic about this broken website at all. We should have agreed to the request of the Smith family in the first place. Now we won't be insulted like this. "

When Yue Bin heard this, his heart suddenly moved.He looked at Mordun, the R&D director who had been showing resistance since the beginning of the negotiation, with a half-smile: "Mr. Hagen seems to be very optimistic about the Smith family?"

"The Smith family is a veteran chaebol who has been in the business world of country M for decades. Don't you have an old Chinese saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse? At least I believe that compared to a broken website that has been established for less than two years, the Smith family No matter from which aspect, it is obviously more suitable for Modun." The head of R&D department of Modun said without showing any weakness: "At least the managers of the Smith family will not make such a fuss before signing the contract. Things that can’t come to power.”

Yue Bin laughed instead of being angry when he heard the words.The CEO of Mordun quickly smoothed things over and said: "Mr. Yue, Leo definitely didn't mean that, he was just too angry... In fact, we can't even understand why you suddenly made such an unreasonable request—we Signing is imminent, if there is anything else, can't we fix it after signing?"

"But the problem now is precisely that we need to ensure that our interests will not be harmed after signing the contract." Zhang Yang said with a smile: "You have to admit that during the entire negotiation process, Mordun has always had reservations."

The CEO of Mordun gave a wry smile, and spread his hands helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, I think you must be clear about one thing, that is, Mordun and you are two different companies and different individuals. We very much welcome you to invest in Mordun , we are also willing to believe in your sincerity. But before the M&A contract is formally signed, we still belong to different camps. Moldun has the right to keep its core secrets, because we must also confirm that if the M&A fails, Moldun’s core secrets It will not be stolen by the buyer."

The director of R&D department of Mordun snorted coldly, and said in a weird way: "Perhaps what they want is exactly this - to use the excuse of mergers and acquisitions to steal the commercial secrets of Mordun. Otherwise, why would they come up with so many secrets before signing the contract formally?" What happened? Oh, I remembered, what do you call this kind of behavior in China... empty-handed white wolf?"

The expressions of the negotiators on the Mordun side changed after hearing Hagen's cynicism.Obviously, they are also worried about this problem.The CEO of Morden looked worriedly at Redman Scott, who had been silent since the beginning of the negotiation, and said slowly, "Mr. Scott—"

"Mr. Hagen's concerns are very reasonable." To the surprise of the CEO of Mordun, Yue Bin, who had always insisted on restarting the detailed due diligence process, interrupted him and echoed Hagen's thoughts.

"That's why we decided that even if we restart the detailed due diligence process, we will never review the so-called commercial secrets that your company keeps." Yue Bin said with a smile: "This is our sincerity. Now, I need the attitude of Modun."

Hagen muttered and complained: "What's the point of this..."

That’s right, if it’s not coveting the crucial R&D data retained by Modun, what’s the point of restarting the detailed due diligence link on the campus network?

The CEO of Mordun was simply confused.He blinked a little blankly.Mr. Redman Scott, a negotiator who has been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth: "Everyone, can I have a private chat with Mr. Quest?"

Having said that, Redman Scott's eyes are always fixed on the CEO of Mordun.

Mr. CEO sighed, and had no choice but to say: "Of course. This way, please." He invited Redman Scott to a lounge next to the conference room.

The negotiating table was quiet.With a dry mouth and tongue, Yue Bin picked up the mineral water on the table and unscrewed it with a smile, then handed the bottle to Lu Chi, and twisted another bottle himself.

Leo Hagen on the opposite side of the negotiating table was still glaring at Yue Bin.But obviously, Yue Bin didn't take him seriously, and he even started discussing where to go for lunch at noon.

It is undeniable that the attitude of the campus network has put a lot of pressure on Modun.The MoDun representatives who were extremely annoyed by Yue Bin's "unreasonable demands" gradually calmed down.

On the other side, the conversation between Redman Scott and the CEO of Mordun finally came to a conclusion——

Although Yue Bin felt that he had a good reason to propose to restart the detailed due diligence process, it is undeniable that this sudden proposal to restart the detailed due diligence before signing the contract really annoyed the senior managers and major shareholders of Modun .They think that this is the extreme distrust of the campus network for Modun, and it is a humiliation to all the employees of Modun.This approach made the employees of Mordun excited.

Even the CEO of Mordun, who tried his best to facilitate the negotiation, had to consider the emotions of the employees, and once had the idea of ​​terminating the negotiation.However, under Redman Scott's skillful lobbying, in the end, Mordun accepted the request of the campus network to restart the detailed due diligence.

However, in order to express their dissatisfaction, Mordun also has requirements—they believe that the detailed due diligence this time should not exceed seven days.After all, time is like money. With the current situation of Modun, the buyer is not allowed to waste time and delay the negotiation process.Also, if the investigation did not find conclusive evidence that MoDun damaged the interests of the campus network during the negotiation process, the buyer must pay the price for its actions—they required the negotiators of the campus network to submit to Morgan Dunn at the signing ceremony. All Dun’s employees formally apologized, and increased the acquisition funds to 4000 million—the extra 1000 million was regarded as reputation compensation for Modun.

One week, 1000 million, and everyone's face is at stake.With such a harsh requirement, even Yue Bin, who insisted that there was a problem with Modun, hesitated.He doesn't want his partners to pay for his actions.Therefore, Yue Bin proposed that 1000 million a week would be enough, and his pocket money could barely scrape together.But if there is no problem after the investigation, he himself will formally apologize at the signing ceremony-not everyone.

After all, Mo Dun didn't want to completely offend Zhang Yang and others who had become the boss, so after discussing, they agreed to this request.However, the friends scoffed at Yue Bin's hypocritical thoughts.

"We are all good brothers, of course we have to advance and retreat together." Zhang Yang hooked Fa Xiao's neck with a smile: "Don't mess with everyone. Even if you really want to lose money, you have to apologize, and let your family Lu Chi help you speculate in a few more stocks. Alright."

Because of Professor Volker's recommendation, Lu Chi, who is currently studying psychology, observed Leo Hagen silently for a while, and when he heard Zhang Yang's words, he smiled and said calmly: "It's easy to say, and It's just a matter of a few days."

After Lu Chi finished saying this, the eyes of the head of the R&D department who had been in a state of rage suddenly flickered.The emotion that flashed in his eyes was...greed?regret?

Because of his severe brain injury in his early years, Lu Chi, whose observation ability is comparable to a machine, was very keenly aware of Leo Hagen's flashing micro-emotions, and his heart couldn't help but move.At lunch that day, Lu Chi suggested: "I think the attitude of the R&D director of Modun is a bit wrong. Maybe he is our breakthrough."

Yue Bin immediately said, "I asked the private detective to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day."

Lu Chi moved his lips, trying to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Now that the matter has come to this point, all the friends support Yue Bin unreservedly.Immediately after lunch, detailed due diligence resumes.Being questioned for no reason, the employees of Modun were all suffocated. When handing over the documents, even the old documents from more than ten years ago that Modun had sealed and stuffed deep in the archive room were moved. out.

Under these unspoken difficulties, hundreds of thousands of pages of documents - covering personnel, law, finance, trade, technology and many other aspects - were placed in front of everyone in piles.To review so many documents in a week and find out the secrets that Maldun deliberately concealed is simply as difficult as heaven.

In order to complete the work as soon as possible, Yue Bin even summoned all the internal employees of the campus network, leaving only the most basic programmers and background customer service to guard the base camp.However, even so, everyone failed to find any clues in the vast sea of ​​documents.Lu Chi guessed that the head of the R&D department of Modun, who was weird, even got into the laboratory. For a whole week, the home and the company were two points and one line, and it was almost impeccable.

Time flies like water, and six days fly by in a blink of an eye.

On the morning of the seventh day, Yue Bin was standing in the kitchen with a heavy heart making a heart-warming breakfast for his family, Lu Chi. His mind was full of the embarrassing scene of causing his friends to apologize in public at the signing ceremony tomorrow.Hearing a loud bang from the study, Lu Chi rushed out with a stack of documents in his hand, and stood panting at the door of the kitchen, his eyes were astonishingly bright: "I know the problem with Modun!"
