Chapter 1813: Here for the Acquisition

The news of this acquisition directly pushed the Douglas Vast Hotel’s reputation to the apex. At the same time, it further damaged the Song Jiang International Hotel’s prestige and reputation in the industry.

How could a hotel that was on the verge of bankruptcy and waiting for someone else to buy it provide good services? The ingredients in the dishes were probably of the lowest-level and about to expire, right?

Anyway, since they had nothing to do and would be sold off in a while, how could they have the mind to do all these?

Besides, the room services were also an issue. It was unknown whether the waiters would stay or leave after the hotel was acquired. They were about to be unemployed, so how could they still provide services seriously? Maybe the sheets would not be changed despite being used… It was better to not stay in this hotel!

Since the Douglas Vast Hotel could acquire the Song Jiang International Hotel, it showed that they were very powerful, and this kind of international chain hotel could still guarantee pristine service. Therefore, the Douglas Vast Hotel was overcrowded again and the Song Jiang International Hotel became even more deserted.

Guo Jianchao was anxious when he saw this. Yang Ming and Bao Sanli’s ambiguous attitude made him a little more unsure of what to do. Could it be that the two senior executives really wanted to sell the Song Jiang International Hotel?

As soon as Guo Jianchao thought of this, he felt that it was possible! This hotel was originally bought from the Wang Family’s father and son, so Yang Ming and Bao Sanli were not emotionally attached to it.

However, this was not the case for Guo Jianchao! After he took over this hotel, he put all his enthusiasm and hard work into it. The Song Jiang International Hotel’s former glory could not be separated from his efforts! So, Guo Jianchao couldn’t bear to sell the hotel like this.

However, if it was Yang Ming who decided to sell the hotel, then he could not refute it. If it was Bao Sanli’s decision, it would be easier to discuss it. After all, they were both Yang Ming’s subordinates, so it was easier to communicate with each other. Bao Sanli would most probably give him some face.

After all, the money gained from potentially selling this hotel would be meaningless to the Ming Yang Group.

Yang Ming also saw the news on the Internet, but he dismissed it with a laugh. Yang Ming was not surprised by this kind of business tactic. At this time, the Douglas Vast Hotel had almost done everything they could to target the Song Jiang International Hotel.

Yang Ming intended to let them develop as long as they did not make any excessive moves. As long as they didn’t cross the line, Yang Ming would not do anything to them.

Yang Ming’s phone rang for a while. Yang Ming glanced at the caller’s name on the screen. Unexpectedly, it was his Uncle Yang Dashan.

“Hello, Uncle?” Yang Ming answered the phone with some confusion.

“Yang Ming, what is going on with the international hotel? It is deserted because of the Douglas Vast Hotel. I went there at noon and I heard that the Douglas Vast Hotel wants to buy your hotel?” Yang Dashan knew that the hotel belonged to Yang Ming. So when he heard the news, he called to inquire about it.

“Oh, I also saw the news on the Internet. Who knows what they are trying to do?” Yang Ming was not surprised, “Uncle, you are kind for paying attention to my matters.”

“We’re family,” Yang Dashan said, “Yang Ming, do you have any problem with your funds? Why are you not fighting back?”

“Thank you for your concern, Uncle. The funds are fine. I just don’t want to care about them. It is normal to have business competition. As long as they don’t overdo it, I don’t want to worry about it,” said Yang Ming.

“Since you say that, then alright. I thought that there was a problem with your funds, so I called and asked,” said Yang Dashan. “However, if there is something that you don’t know how to tell your dad, you can tell Uncle directly. Uncle doesn’t mind being a villain!”

“Hehe, okay.” Yang Ming smiled. Uncle has become amiable now. This was a result which Yang Ming was happy to see.

A few seconds after he hung up the phone, it rang again. Yang Ming looked at the caller ID. It was Guo Jianchao again. He had called once a few days ago, but Yang Ming did not expect him to call again.

“Hello? Guo Jianchao, what’s the matter?” Yang Ming could make a guess. Guo Jianchao had probably called because of the Song Jiang International Hotel.

“Brother Yang, a guy named Chen Zhiye has arrived. He said that he came on behalf of the Douglas Vast Hotel to discuss the acquisition of our hotel…” Guo Jianchao said carefully.

Previously, although he really wanted to communicate with Yang Ming, he did not dare to call again because of Yang Ming’s resolute ton. This time, someone from the other party came over. Guo Jianchao could not help but call Yang Ming to report. He feared most that Yang Ming would agree to the other party’s acquisition.

“Oh? Chen Zhiye came to you?” Yang Ming listened to Guo Jianchao’s words and was stunned! He originally thought that the Douglas Vast Hotel released the news of the so-called acquisition as a publicity stunt. He thought that they would not actually come to acquire the Song Jiang International Hotel. He did not expect that they were actually doing it. Isn’t this a little too much?

You came to make an acquisition after you alone mentioned the acquisition. Isn’t this too one-sided? Yang Ming had a feeling of being led by the nose, and he couldn’t help but frown. He originally never thought about doing anything to the other party, they had become too overbearing and arrogant.

“Yes, he’s waiting in the conference room now. I don’t know how to answer him, so I called to ask you… Brother Yang, we won’t really sell the hotel, right?” Guo Jianchao was hesitant as he asked.

“Sell? Sell what? Who said the hotel is going to be sold?” Yang Ming sneered after hearing this. This hotel is part of the business that was given to Jing Xiaolu. How could I sell it?

Especially now that I have such a relationship with Jing Xiaolu, I can’t sell the hotel! Moreover, the most memorable part of this hotel is that it is the first place where Lin Zhiyun and I made love. How can it be sold?

“Ah! So we won’t sell it?” Guo Jianchao was surprised and happy when he heard Yang Ming’s words, then he felt relieved. It seems that Yang Ming does not advocate selling the hotel.

“Naturally, I won’t sell it. Send Chen Zhiye away, and make him go as far away as he can. Don’t give him face, otherwise, he’ll be dead,” Yang Ming said plainly.

“Ha!” Guo Jianchao listened to Yang Ming’s merciless words and immediately laughed. “Okay, Brother Yang, I’ll go and tell him now.”

“En, if there is any other news, please contact me at any time.” Yang Ming hung up the phone. Chen Zhiye seems unwilling. He always wants to cause some kind of trouble. I wanted to ignore him, but he is restless. It seems that I must do something to deal with them. Also, isn’t that foreigner, Caique, causing trouble?

With Yang Ming’s affirmative answer, Guo Jianchao was not worried anymore. He felt that Yang Ming had made plans and come up with a solution. The hotel’s current decline in business was only temporary. Yang Ming must have a solution.

Thinking of this, Guo Jianchao walked up to the conference room where Chen Zhiye was waiting.

Chen Zhiye was here today to humiliate Yang Ming, but he didn’t know if Yang Ming was there or not. Even if Yang Ming wasn’t there, Chen Zhiye meant to pass on the message to him through others.

Chen Zhiye had been aware of the Song Jiang International Hotel’s operating conditions for a while. It could be said that it was extremely bleak. He was now buying it. Even if Yang Ming did not want to sell it, he had to sell it!

There were only two options in front of Yang Ming: sell the hotel or go bankrupt! Of course, this was what Chen Zhiye thought.

Seeing Guo Jianchao push the door and enter, Chen Zhiye straightened his back and crossed his legs cockily. In his opinion, the only way out for the Song Jiang International Hotel was to be acquired. There was no other recourse.

“So? Have you found your big boss?” Chen Zhiye looked up and asked arrogantly with an upturned nose towards Guo Jianchao.

“Oh, I found him,” Guo Jianchao said plainly to Chen Zhiye with a funny look.

“Where is he? Did he come? Why hasn’t he appeared? Don’t get confused. I’m here to make an acquisition to save you all. Otherwise, you will just go into bankruptcy!” Chen Zhiye was a little upset when he glanced at Guo Jianchao and found that he came in alone without Yang Ming.

Chapter 1814: Boss Wants You to Leave

One of Caique’s subordinates should have been the one to come this time. But Chen Zhiye took on the task of on-site negotiations so he could pretend to be powerful in front of Yang Ming. He had even prepared some sarcastic comments for Yang Ming. However, as he could not see Yang Ming in the end, Chen Zhiye felt like he punched cotton and could not exert any strength. It felt very uncomfortable.

“Why should the boss come? Who do you think you are?” Guo Jianchao sneered, “Our boss asked me to tell you something.”

“What is it?” Chen Zhiye didn’t expect Guo Jianchao’s words to be so arrogant. He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

“Our boss told me to tell you to leave. Go as far as you can. I don’t need to give you face, otherwise, you’ll be dead,” Guo Jianchao repeated Yang Ming’s words. “Did you hear me clearly?”

Chen Zhiye’s face suddenly turned green. He did not expect Yang Ming to react like this! The hotel is going bankrupt, yet he still dares to talk to me like this? Does he really think he still has something to depend on? Or does he think I really can’t force him into bankruptcy?

“Is that what Yang Ming said?” Chen Zhiye suddenly stood up while glaring at Guo Jianchao.

“How can you call Brother Yang’s name like that?” Guo Jianchao was immediately upset. He grabbed Chen Zhiye’s collar and pushed him outside, “We want you to leave. Did you not hear that? Leave, you’re not welcome here!”

How could Chen Zhiye be Guo Jianchao’s opponent? Guo Jianchao was only in his twenties, and so he was young and strong. Chen Zhiye almost fell to the ground from his little push.

“You… you… you…” Chen Zhiye even said “you” three times. It could be imagined how angry he was now. He was almost carried away by Guo Jianchao. He stood at the conference room’s door and pointed at Guo Jianchao fiercely, “Okay, good! I’ll remember this. You wait for me! You’ll suffer soon enough!”

“Hehe, okay. I’ll wait,” Guo Jianchao said plainly, completely not putting Chen Zhiye in his eyes. Since Yang Ming had already made a guarantee, Guo Jianchao naturally did not need to bother with Chen Zhiye. Anyway, the hotel would not be sold. So what if Guo Jianchao offended Chen Zhiye?

Although Guo Jianchao didn’t know what Yang Ming’s specific plan was, at least the hotel would not be sold. They could slowly find some ways to develop their business in the future.

Guo Jianchao and Yang Ming’s words and actions had thoroughly angered Chen Zhiye. After Chen Zhiye returned, he began to describe to Caique about how abominable the people at Song Jiang International Hotel were and how they vilified the Douglas Vast Hotel and Caique. He also swore that he would not let them go.

Caique naturally did not fully believe Chen Zhiye’s words, but he did actually want to acquire Song Jiang International Hotel at the moment. The news had also been released. If a strong start was made but nothing was settled, Caique would not be able to explain to his family.

When he took over as the family master, he shamelessly interfered with Song Jiang’s hotel industry. If he couldn’t even handle a local small hotel, how could he have the face to be the family master?

So Caique was determined to win this time no matter what. Since the other party has a strong attitude, we have to step up our efforts! Because of what had happened in the conference room last time, the Douglas Vast Hotel was completely against the Song Jiang International Hotel. Both sides had fallen out with each other. Chen Zhiye even began sending people to distribute leaflets in the Song Jiang International Hotel’s parking lot. Customers who went to the Song Jiang International Hotel were attracted to the Douglas Vast Hotel. The Douglas Vast Hotel also launched a series of preferential promotions and TV advertisements bombarded the audience one after another!

This time, Chen Zhiye wanted to completely eliminate the Song Jiang International Hotel. He did not want to let any customer go to the Song Jiang International Hotel. He wanted Yang Ming to taste the consequences of looking down on him! If the Song Jiang International Hotel didn’t agree to the merger and acquisition, they would perish on their own!

When the Song Jiang International Hotel was completely out of business, Chen Zhiye would go over and look for Guo Jianchao again.

Guo Jianchao didn’t expect that Douglas Vast Hotel would be so absolute in their ways. They even used such wretched tricks, which was disappointing. However, Yang Ming did not mention how he wanted to counterattack. It was impossible for Guo Jianchao to act lightly.

Guo Jianchao actually expected Chen Zhiye’s second visit. Guo Jianchao didn’t go to see him first, but called Yang Ming again. Although he really wanted to throw Chen Zhiye out again, he couldn’t act on his own initiative without asking for Yang Ming’s instructions first.

“Brother Yang, I’m Guo Jianchao,” Guo Jianchao called Yang Ming again. “Chen Zhiye is here again. He still wants to talk about the acquisition.”

“Hmph Hmph, I didn’t expect them to really not give up,” Yang Ming listened to Guo Jianchao and said with slight disdain, “He really isn’t sensible.”

During this time, Yang Ming knew about the Douglas Vast Hotel’s actions. Yang Ming was very disdainful towards the inferior and insidious tricks they used, but he did not expect that Chen Zhiye was still unwilling to give up. He was actually still thinking about the acquisition.

Yang Ming naturally knew that Chen Zhiye had used all of these methods to target Yang Ming in revenge for that day Yang Ming did not give him face. He wanted to use these methods to fight against Yang Ming.

But I have to say, Chen Zhiye’s idea is too simple. So simple that he is looking for death.

“Brother Yang, should I kick him out?” asked Guo Jianchao.

“No, promise them that we’ll schedule a time to talk about the merger and acquisition,” Yang Ming couldn’t tolerate it anymore. Chen Zhiye and Caique’s actions had reached Yang Ming’s bottom line.

Yang Ming didn’t care about them before, but they became more and more excessive. He gave them an inch but they wanted a mile. In this case, Yang Ming would naturally not acquiesce to their wishes.

Don’t you want a merger and acquisition? Well, then I’ll give you a merger and acquisition. However, who is merging with who is not necessarily confirmed.

“Ah?” Guo Jianchao did not expect that Ming would actually agree to Chen Zhiye’s request this time. This surprised Guo Jianchao. Why did Yang Ming change his mind?

“Do as I say,” Yang Ming didn’t explain much. By then, Guo Jianchao would know the situation.

“But… Okay!” Guo Jianchao had no choice. In any case, he could not disobey Yang Ming’s decision. No matter how reluctant he was, Yang Ming had already decided. What was the use of him talking?

Hanging up, Guo Jianchao went to the conference room where Chen Zhiye was.

Although Chen Zhiye had a lot more certainty this time, he was still a little nervous because of what happened last time. He was afraid that Yang Ming would go crazy again and instruct Guo Jianchao to scold and throw him out.

Previously, he had already used all the means that he could use; he made the Song Jiang International Hotel have no guests. It was unlike the last time when there were still a few customers.

This time, if the Song Jiang International Hotel did not go bankrupt, there must be something supernatural going on. But who could guarantee that Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao would not go crazy? So, Chen Zhiye did not cross his legs this time, but sat seriously in the conference room while waiting for Guo Jianchao.

“President Guo!” Chen Zhiye did not raise his head cockily like he did last time, but politely stood up and greeted Guo Jianchao.

“Oh, it’s President Chen.” Guo Jianchao received Yang Ming’s order this time to agree with Chen Zhiye to talk about mergers and acquisitions, so his attitude also became better.

“So? What did your President Yang decide?” Chen Zhiye was slightly stunned by Guo Jianchao’s gentle attitude, but then he understood. Yang Ming must want to compromise! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this attitude!

However, he still asked with a little uncertainty. Before getting a positive answer from Guo Jianchao, Chen Zhiye still didn’t dare to be arrogant. What if he was thrown out again?

“Brother Yang said to decide on a day to talk about mergers and acquisitions,” Guo Jianchao did not have a good impression of Chen Zhiye, so he conveyed Yang Ming’s instructions coldly.

“Oh?” After Chen Zhiye was stunned, he couldn’t help laughing again, “Ha ha ha ha! Aren’t you powerful?”
