Chapter 74: Acquisition of Company

"Not clear yet. I'll call you later after it's confirmed." After ending the call, Zhou Chen walked towards the staff members of the Labor and Social Security Department who were pacifying the workers' emotions in the middle of the road.

 The staff members of the Labor and Social Security Department were also very busy and anxious at this time.

 "Woo... That bastard boss has owed us three months' salary. Now he has run away. My family is so poor that we can't even afford food. What should I do?" A plainly dressed woman was sitting on the ground, wailing loudly.

 "Big sister, calm down first. You can get your money back." A female staff member of the Labor and Social Security Department squatted in front of the woman and comforted her softly.

 "Then pay us the money. What's the use of just talking?" The woman roared at the woman.

 "We can only cooperate with you to apply for labor arbitration, and it needs to go through procedures." The woman explained in a gentle tone.

 "How long does it take to gothroughtheprocedures?"

 "One month or two months? One year or two years?"

 "A few years ago, one of my relatives' factory also closed down and the boss ran away. He still hasn't got his due salary till now!"

 The woman didn't quite believe these people's nonsense and continued to cry with her head buried as she spoke.

 Xu Pingping sighed helplessly and took a bottle of water from the mineral water box beside and handed it to the woman. "Big sister, crying can't solve the problem. Drink some water first!"

 The woman took the mineral water, unscrewed the cap, took a few sips and then continued to cry.

Xu Pingping helplessly returned to the work group and looked at the team leader, Xiang Dongsheng, and said, "Team leader... There are so many people. We can't pacify them all!"

 Xiang Dongsheng sighed helplessly. "Wang He's phone is out of credit and can't be reached... Moreover, he has run to a foreign country. It's a bit troublesome for these workers to defend their rights..."

After saying that, he looked at the company's personnel manager and asked, "How many people are there in your company?"

 "About 1,600 people!"

 The personnel manager is an elegant lady in her thirties. She seems relatively calm.

 "Has the salary been in arrears for three months?" Xiang Dongsheng continued to ask.

 "Well, yes. Everyone hasn't received their salary for three months. The boss's younger sister is the financial manager. She has been helping the boss deceive us by saying that the payment for goods hasn't been received!"

 "Is there still mobile phone inventory in the company?"

 "There was no stock last month. This month, the workers are very idle. They clean the workshop every day or assemble game consoles for OEM processing. Wang He should have made a plan to run away long ago!" The personnel manager finally lowered her head and sighed.

 "You gather people to apply for labor arbitration. We will complete the procedures as soon as possible, and then wait for the court to solve it!" Xiang Dongsheng was in a heavy mood. Wang He absconded abroad. It is estimated that it is very difficult to catch him. We can only wait for the court to liquidate the company's assets and make up for the losses of these laborers as much as possible.

 Just then, a male staff member of the Labor and Social Security Department came over and said, "Team leader, two people want to see you!"

 Xiang Dongsheng turned his head and looked at Zhou Chen and Qi Hang. Thinking that they were also employees of this company, he said helplessly, "Looking for me is useless. You have to go through the process of labor arbitration."

"We are not employees of this company!"

Zhou Chen began to introduce himself, "My name is Zhou Chen. I am a student of Jiangzhou University and also a businessman. I want to acquire this company!"

Xiang Dongsheng sized up Zhou Chen from top to bottom and said with full suspicion, "Does your family know?"

 Zhou Chen was very helpless. "What does my acquisition of this company have to do with my family?"

It's troublesome to be young. Everyone has to question him when they see him.

"For acquiring a company, you should contact the court." Xiang Dongsheng was half-believing and half-doubting Zhou Chen's words, and his tone seemed a bit impatient.

"The factory building of this company should be rented. The value of the equipment in the factory should not be enough to make up for the salaries of these workers. Otherwise, the company boss wouldn't run away. After I take over the company, I can make up for the workers' remuneration."

Zhou Chen would rather take out some money to compensate the workers than waste too much time.

He just wanted to break through the pressure from the Tang family as soon as possible and then spend these four years of college happily with Tang Wan.

Life is short and youth is priceless.

For precious Wan'er, he must charge forward...

Xiang Dongsheng reexamined Zhou Chen. Seeing that he was indeed more mature and stable than his peers, he reminded, "I am a public official. You'd better not joke with me."

"Do you know Wang Liqun?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.

"The chairman of AIo Company. I am quite familiar with him. Are you his relative?" Xiang Dongsheng's expression softened a bit. If this kid was really Wang Liqun's relative, then he really had the strength to acquire this company.

"Not a relative, but he will help me..."

"I'll ask him..."

Xiang Dongsheng took out a PHS mobile phone and made a call.

"Brother Xiang, did the sun rise from the west today? You actually called me!"

"Do you know Zhou Chen?" Xiang Dongsheng didn't waste words and asked directly.

"Yes, what's up?"

"What's your relationship?" Xiang Dongsheng continued to ask.

"A cooperative relationship!"

"Okay, I see. Talk to you later!"

Xiang Dongsheng confirmed that what Zhou Chen said was true, and the stone in his heart finally fell. He stared at Zhou Chen and said, "I will communicate with the court. If everything goes smoothly, you can take over this company in three days!"

Zhou Chen was delighted and stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, leader..."

Xiang Dongsheng shook hands with Zhou Chen with a smile: "A hero emerges from youth. I really didn't expect you to be so young and have the courage to run a factory. I hope you will be a good boss!"

"Welcome leaders to supervise at any time!"

Zhou Chen grinned.

Little did he know that Qi Hang behind him was completely confused.

Although he had already guessed that Zhou Chen had the intention of making mobile phones or engaging in the Internet, but he only thought that Zhou Chen wanted to start with a studio first. What's the deal with taking over a company directly?

Xiang Dongsheng clapped his hands and said to his colleagues, "You tell these workers that there is already a boss who wants to take over the company. None of their wages will be missing. It will probably be implemented in about three days!"

With these words from Xiang Dongsheng, the staff members of the Labor and Social Security Department and the Police Department all breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Dongsheng brought Zhou Chen to the management of Laidi Company and introduced, "This will be the future boss of Laidi Company. He will safeguard the rights and interests of all workers. None of your money will be missing. You can communicate in advance!"

The management team looked at Zhou Chen in surprise...

"This is too young. If you're looking for someone to act, don't you know to find an adult?" 

"That's right. He looks younger than my son. Can he be the boss?"

"Don't look down on people. What if he is a rich second generation?"

"..." 

Zhou Chen clapped his hands and introduced himself, "Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Chen. I will take over Laidi Company in three days... I hope everyone can cooperate with my work in the future!" 

The business manager curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "He hasn't even grown all his hair yet. He still wants to manage a factory with more than a thousand people?" 

The production manager next to him quickly stepped on his foot. "Can you shut up? We are still counting on him to pay our salaries."

The business manager cleared his throat and closed his mouth without speaking anymore.

Zhou Chen heard the muttering of that bald man and silently remembered him in his heart, planning to settle accounts with him after he took over the factory.

"Who among you is in charge of the R & D department?"

Zhou Chen was most concerned about the R & D department, which was also the core department of this factory.

A beautiful woman in her late twenties stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am Li Qiushui, the director of the R & D department..."
