Chapter 624: 526, Prescription: Boyfriend (Asking for Monthly Pass) Chapter 624: 526, Prescription: Boyfriend (Asking for Monthly Pass) Yang Hao did not interrupt Zhang Fengshou, he just listened quietly, occasionally taking a sip of tea.
Miss Color, sitting by his side, listened more and more earnestly.
When she had come, she hadn’t taken this trip seriously at all, only thinking that it would be nice to stay by Yang Hao’s side.
But after hearing Zhang Fengshou elaborate, she was instantly attracted to the reform blueprint he outlined for the steel plant.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but silently marvel in her heart; appearances truly can be deceiving!
Zhang Fengshou looked very ordinary, and at forty-three years old, his face already bore quite a few wrinkles and his skin was rather dark.
At first glance, he seemed to be over fifty, but this did not detract from the brilliance he exuded while explaining the details of the steel plant reform.
Born into a family of merchants, Huang Qing’s father, Huang Dazhong, had imparted many business lessons to her.
Although trading companies and steel plants were different industries, the essence of doing business remains unchanging.
The core principles stay the same.
Upon hearing the plan, Huang Qing knew that Zhang Fengshou’s reform proposals were feasible, with at least eighty percent being very reliable, unlike some so-called business elites who only knew how to talk big and create elaborate PPTs.
Their pies in the sky had large scope, but very low feasibility.
Such individuals could only fool someone like Qin Feng, a “novice,” who thrived in the internet celebrity economy.
Riding the wave, his rise had been extraordinarily fast, but his understanding of doing business was only superficial.
Thus, he continuously frowned while listening to Zhang Fengshou’s explanation because he didn’t quite understand it.
But Yang Hao and Huang Qing next to him listened with avid interest, clearly agreeing with Zhang Fengshou’s perspective.
Hence, Qin Feng developed a sense of awe, thinking “awesome though I do not understand.”
The attention of the man-made beauty, Ye Wei, however, was not on Zhang Fengshou.
First, she hardly understood anything about the steel plant’s reform, and second, she was preoccupied with how she could better assist Hao and make him more comfortable.
In Ye Wei’s mind, it was still the old playbook—men conquer the world, and women conquer men.
So what she contemplated was how to support Qing, hoping she could help Qing get pregnant, which would be perfect!
Zhang Fengshou spoke for over an hour, finally going over the macro planning and pathway, during which he only took two sips of tea.
After he finished speaking, the parched-lipped Zhang Fengshou stared straight at Yang Hao, waiting for the latter’s feedback.
“Mr.
Zhang, although I don’t know much about the operation of a steel plant, I think what you’ve described about these reform measures makes a lot of sense, and the feasibility seems very high,” Yang Hao said, first nodding in agreement, and then looking Zhang Fengshou in the eyes as he asked, “If you were to execute the reform tasks for Xiangyang Steel Plant, how long do you think it would take to complete the plan you just mentioned?”
“Me?”
Zhang Fengshou’s dry lips parted, and he looked at Yang Hao in astonishment.
The reason he was willing to elaborate on the reform plan wasn’t that he had thought too much; rather, these thoughts had been bottled up inside him for too long with no one to share them with.
If he mentioned his ideas to colleagues, they would surely think he was crazy.
In fact, Zhang Fengshou had briefly mentioned his notions to two friends, who were approachable enough, only to be met with ridicule.
They also knew that Zhang Fengshou was probably right, but under the current circumstances, it was difficult to implement the plan.
First, a lot of money was needed; second, not everyone could endure the pain of a major surgery; and most importantly, absolute control over Xiangyang Steel Plant was required to implement the plan, which was impossible under the current system.
While Zheng Dongshan might have been the plant manager in name, managing the steel plant, major decisions still had to be discussed with the provincial leader serving in a temporary position.
Within Zhang Fengshou’s proposal, nearly everything was a major issue.
Not to mention, under the current system, just going through the processes would take an unknown amount of time.
“Don’t have confidence in yourself?” Yang Hao asked with a chuckle.
“Uh, no, that’s not it,” Zhang Fengshou shook his head.
“It’s just that, if I were to implement it, there are so many objective factors that need to be satisfied…”
Zhang Fengshou again listed the problems that needed to be resolved.
After listening, Yang Hao did not continue on this topic but instead asked, “How much do you think would be appropriate to fully acquire Xiangyang Steel Plant?”
“Uh?”
“Full acquisition?”
Zhang Fengshou’s eyes widened in shock; he thought Yang Hao was only interested in taking a stake in Xiangyang Steel Plant.
But now, the proposition was for a full acquisition.
If that were to happen, and Xiangyang Steel Plant became completely privatized, his set of ideas could actually be implemented.
“The financing valuation of Xiangyang Steel Plant is around 11 billion, which is a bit inflated but not excessively so.
There are a lot of problems within the steel plant and many gaps to be filled.
If Mr.
Yang truly wishes to fully acquire it, I think it would be more appropriate to stay within 9.5 billion,” Zhang Fengshou said.
He was intimately familiar with the plant’s situation and actually could provide a range with a fluctuation of less than 10 million, but since he wasn’t that close to Yang Hao yet, he gave a rough estimate.
Yang Hao nodded, then said solemnly, “I can let you in on a little secret, Mr.
Zhang.
Tomorrow, I’m going to discuss the full acquisition of Xiangyang Steel Plant.
If the deal goes through, I hope you can replace Zheng Dongshan and then fully support you to accomplish the reform you just mentioned.”
“Would Mr.
Zhang be willing?”
What do you think?
