Chapter 268 Negotiation
The darkness in one's heart is one thing, and reality is another.

Xu Mingyuan is different from Xiao Yangzhi. That little girl has never established the correct values, and she just doesn't care, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have any.

"Uncle Tao, did you get the approval for the controlling restructuring from Haizhou Province?" Xu Mingyuan said in amazement.

The vigorous state-owned enterprise reform in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s did not disappear immediately after the millennium.

In fact, before 2010, the shareholdings of state-owned enterprises in many competitive industries were still required to decrease.

Nanhua Chemical was a state-owned enterprise before the 1990s, but it was later restructured and the actual controller fell into the hands of the Chen family. In addition, in the last dispute, Tao Changming took advantage of the Wanteng Group's background to reap the benefits.

"Do you know about this?" Tao Changming said in surprise.

"I understand it a little bit. Uncle Tao, what's the matter? Did the local government increase its shareholding and cause trouble for you?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"No." Tao Changming said.

"Then why are you doing this? You are so bold. Duan Jianhe will most likely serve two terms in Nanxi. There are still seven or eight years left. Aren't you afraid of being caught and punished later?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smack of his lips.

Although it is highly unlikely that there will be a reckoning, it is not very glorious to try to do such a thing.

First, they had to drive the enterprise to the brink of loss, and then obtain approval to acquire part of the local shares at a low price on the grounds that the state-owned enterprise's holding company was too big to be lost.

Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Tao Changming wanted to register the lithium raw material factory with Nanhua Chemical. He wanted to bleed the enterprise.

After looking Tao Changming up and down, Xu Mingyuan complained in his heart, you old man are really mean.

This is probably Tao Changming's fate in this life. Even if he gets Nanhua Chemical, it will be difficult for him to make any further progress. He will be no different from the person in Xu Mingyuan's memory.

This is probably where Tao Changming's vision stops. After all, people of his generation must still have the inertia of thinking.

"Smoke one?"

Seeing Xu Mingyuan's strange expression, Tao Changming smiled and handed him a cigarette.

"Just smoke it."

Xu Mingyuan did not refuse. Before he could light the cigarette, he snatched the lighter, lit it and threw it back to him. He had no intention of helping him light the cigarette.

Tao Changming had long been accustomed to his disrespectful attitude and did not take it seriously. He lit the cigarette, pulled up his trouser legs, squatted down, and took two deep puffs.

"I don't want to swallow up the state-owned shares," said Tao Changming.

"Then what do you want to do?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Kick out Huajie Group." Tao Changming said calmly.

"Tsk tsk, Uncle Tao, are you trying to get rid of me?"

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This is a famous saying among businessmen, and Xu Mingyuan also believes it.

But no matter what, when Tao Changming took over Nanhua Chemical, Huajie Group made great efforts and was also the second largest shareholder besides state-owned shares.

Even if Tao Changming didn't care about personal connections and wanted to kick Huajie Group out, it would be an extremely troublesome matter.

Moreover, Xu Mingyuan had never done such a thing. When he was working in real estate, he didn't want to offend people easily, especially powerful people. After all, the most feared thing in real estate is someone tripping him up.

Besides, Xu Mingyuan doesn’t care much about benefits.

Just like when Tao Changming got the shares of Sailing Technology, Xu Mingyuan never thought of kicking him out. Later, when he attracted investors for financing, he also made money with them.

As long as the control is in his own hands, Xu Mingyuan will basically not choose to kick people off halfway. Even if he does not want to continue the cooperation in the future, he would rather set up his own business as he does now.

"With the intervention of Huajie Group, the future development of the company is a big problem," said Tao Changming.

"Uncle Tao, you don't want to unite with the local government, kick Huajie Group out first, and then buy the local government's shares, right?"

Xu Mingyuan was stunned. He didn't expect Tao Changming to have such a big appetite. Did he want to completely control Nanhua Chemical? It's not that simple.

The "Hua" in Nanhua Chemical represents the weight of Huajie Group.

But this is something that cannot be guaranteed. If Tao Changming sells his shares in Sailing Technology, he might be able to raise a large sum of money to accomplish this.

"I value the future of the company and don't have this plan," said Tao Changming.

“Oh, hahaha…”

Xu Mingyuan laughed dryly and didn't ask any more questions.

It’s just a chemical factory, what future does it have?
Tao Changming's words sounded very eloquent, but Xu Mingyuan didn't believe a word of it.

The situation of domestic heavy industries such as Nanhua Chemical has gradually improved since the millennium. Although they cannot make a lot of money, they can maintain their livelihoods with long-term stability. However, Tao Changming's approach is precisely the most unstable factor, which can easily cause conflicts.

"You don't believe it?" Tao Changming asked with raised eyebrows.

"Believe it, why wouldn't I believe it?"

Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to expose him.

When Tao Changming was about to say something, Tao Shuxin, who was taking a walk in the distance, jogged over.

When he saw the two squatting on the ground smoking, he immediately frowned and accused: "Dad, how could you give Xu Mingyuan a cigarette? Can't you teach him something good?"

Tao Shuxin became sulky.

It was okay for Xu Mingyuan to smoke before, but now that he smokes, he smells for hours, so we can’t kiss each other anymore.

"Why are you interrupting when adults are talking? Go play somewhere else."

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand and asked her to stay away.

"Okay, you actually called me a child?"

Tao Shuxin was so angry. He didn't even think it was small when he was begging for kisses and touches, but now he turned against her, right?
The white fingers inserted into his hair, followed by a shake, which was determined to shake the water out of Xu Mingyuan's head.

"Just kidding, please stop shaking, I'm almost dizzy."

Xu Mingyuan couldn't mess around with the little girl in front of her father, so he had to let her do whatever she wanted. "Girl, go buy a pack of cigarettes for your dad."

Tao Changming took out a stack of money from his wallet.

"Six hundred dollars? I'm not going."

Tao Shuxin took the money, counted it, and stretched out her hand to ask for more.

"How much money do you want? Go buy a POS machine someday and let Uncle Tao pay you for your errands." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"What do you know? I'm not asking for money!"

Tao Shuxin gave him a displeased look. She was very unhappy that Xu Mingyuan did not understand her meaning. She just wanted to eavesdrop here for a while.

Xu Mingyuan felt helpless. This silly child has no tact at all. Can't I tell you in private after your father leaves?
"Tao Shuxin, you go over there." Tao Changming said with a frown.

"Oh……"

Tao Shuxin curled her lips. Her father usually didn't call her by her full name. But if he did, she would definitely be criticized by her mother when she got home if she didn't behave herself.

But she didn't go far away. She just stood about ten meters away with her ears pricked up, intending to eavesdrop.

Tao Changming ignored his silly daughter and said directly: "Do you have any solution?"

"What can I do? You think too highly of me." Xu Mingyuan refused without even thinking. "The reason why Xiangli Group was split up was mainly because the conflict between Duan Jianhe and Chen Xiangshun became irreconcilable. That's why everyone had the opportunity to take action. Forget about Huajie Group. You can find out what happened in this company by just asking any old employee. These are things that everyone knows tacitly. No one will put them out in the open. Even if they do, it's useless. It won't cause a big fuss."

This is the consequence of profits coming too easily. It is difficult for people to resist the temptation and continue to make money in a down-to-earth way.

Xu Mingyuan also has awe for the future. Since he can now walk out a dignified path, he will no longer choose to have any evil thoughts.

"The next generation of Huajie Group has irreconcilable contradictions."

"I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and I will never get involved in this kind of thing. Uncle Tao, you are not short of money, are you? If you really want to start a business, why not do lithium mining? Even being a middleman is fine? Do you have to be stuck in Nanhua Chemical?"

"Haha, you are a conservative and steady boy. You don't have your father's daring spirit of thinking and doing." Tao Changming said with a smile.

"Haha, my dad is more frivolous. As for the bold thinking and daring action, the Xu family has this character. But if we can do things step by step, we will definitely not choose your radical method."

When Xu Mingyuan was doing real estate, he dared to think and act, but that was a way to compete for the market in the face of uncertainty in the future.

But now, the future has already been smooth, and Xu Mingyuan has no need to gamble his fortune and get hurt.

After chatting for a while, Tao Changming stopped asking questions when he saw that he could not get any information from Xu Mingyuan. He pointed to the construction site in the distance and said, "Okay, let's talk next time. Your factory has already started construction. You have built this little thing on such a large piece of land."

"Hey, just do it bit by bit. Currently, Sailboat Technology has limited business, and it's good enough if it can supply our own company. Once it's done well in the future, it won't be a problem to expand." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

"Yeah, that's good. What's the name of your new company? What fruit is it called?"

It was mentioned unexpectedly last time and Tao Changming didn't pay attention to it. Now that he saw that the construction of the land had started, he asked again.

"Well, let's call it Star Technology Co., Ltd." Xu Mingyuan said after thinking for a while.

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to name it after a fruit? It means young and energetic, and target the young people's market," Tao Changming asked.

"In fact, if the product is well made, it doesn't matter what it is called. The starry sky, um... the sea of ​​stars, is vast and boundless, and it also has a literary and artistic style, so it can still attract young people." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan hadn't decided on a name yet.

Names like ZTE, which appeared in the last century, seem a bit old-fashioned in the new century. Foreign names like Motorola don't sound good when you say them. After thinking about it, it seems that only fruit names are more suitable for young people.

However, while holding Xiao Yangzhi and looking at the starry sky for most of the night, Xu Mingyuan suddenly thought of this name.

"You have great ideas." Tao Changming said with a smile.

"Everyone should have some dreams. I don't want to be like you, staring at the small piece of land in front of me." Xu Mingyuan looked a little bleak, turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle Tao, if something happens to you and you go to jail one day, you can rest assured. After all, my dad has been in jail too, and I have experience in this kind of thing. I will definitely take good care of Teacher He and Tao Shuxin."

"You little bastard."

Tao Changming cursed with a smile and pretended to kick him, but Xu Mingyuan dodged him.

Xu Mingyuan ran over, grabbed Tao Shuxin's arm and left. He had originally wanted to bring the little girl here for a walk and paint a rosy picture for her about the future.

Who would have thought that Tao Changming was not here to discuss business, but to discuss the internal issues of Nanhua Chemical. How could Xu Mingyuan want to get involved in such mess?

"Let's go."

"What did my dad tell you?"

Tao Shuxin was pulled a few steps by him and wanted to stop. But Xu Mingyuan didn't pull her away, and didn't care that his father was watching them.

"Your father is not a good person. Remember to stay away from him in the future."

"You bastard! What the hell are you talking about!"

Tao Shuxin was stunned for a moment and was so angry that she wanted to beat him up.

"Hey, it's just a joke." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"That's my dad, you are not allowed to make such jokes." Tao Shuxin said angrily.

"Your father didn't hear it, so why should I be afraid? Besides, even if I said this in front of your father, he wouldn't be angry. Why are you so petty?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"That's not possible either!" Tao Shuxin pouted.

"Okay, I'll talk to your dad about it one day and buy it for you."

"Okay, okay! I won't let you talk, but you still won't stop!"

Embarrassed and angry, Tao Shuxin didn't care that her father was not far away, she tore off his coat and started pinching and twisting him.

But Tao Shuxin also noticed that Xu Mingyuan's expression was a little strange, so she twisted his fingers and then subconsciously let go.
