Chapter 2: Sell the Company!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After hanging up, Lin Chen made another call.
"Hello, CEO Lin, what can I do for you?"
The person who answered the call was a woman in her twenties. Her name was Chen Rou, and she was Lin Yue's former secretary.
Ever since Lin Yue passed away, she became Lin Chen's secretary.
"Chen Rou, can you check how much liquidity we can mobilize now?
"Alright, CEO Lin."
On the other end of the line, Chen Rou turned on the speakerphone and started working on the computer in front of her.
About three minutes later, Chen Rou picked up her phone and reported, "CEO Lin, we still have more than ten billion dollars of usable funds left. Do you want to use some of it?"
"Only 10 billion?"
Lin Chen frowned. Although 10 billion sounded like a lot, in fact, the cost of building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was at least 80 billion Huaxia dollars. 10 billion was too little!
"Only…?"
The corners of Chen Rou's lips twitched.
What did he mean by only 10 billion? Damn, was he even speaking in human language?
Moreover, from these words, she could already smell a bad premonition.
"CEO Lin… forgive me for being presumptuous. Although Old CEO Lin Yue left behind many assets, they would not withstand you squandering them like this. Moreover, our company's archenemy, the Heaven-Defying Company, has been giving us trouble. It's better for you to take care of the company first…"
"Heaven-Defying Company…"
Speaking of this name, Lin Chen had a headache.
This was a country founded by the Choebonise, and it had always been a sworn enemy of his father.
Moreover, in his previous life, it was this company's spies who had harmed him.
At this moment, he swore in his heart that after the cyber transformation, he would raze their company to the ground first.
"Alright, I understand. Let them be. I have more important things to do."
"By the way, bring all the luxury watches I have in the company's exhibition room. I'll wait for you at Sky God Hua Company."
Before Chen Rou could react, Lin Chen hung up the phone and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Looking at the all-black Benz in front of him, Lin Chen could not help but smack his lips. In his previous life, if he had not insisted on collecting the so-called luxury watches, he would have been a car-man!
Therefore, now he had to sell all these luxury watches and the company.
He knew that a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier cost at least 100 billion yuan. With the liquidity of 10 over billion the company had now, it was far from enough!
The only company that could buy the luxury watches and acquire the Deity Xia Group at the same time was Sky Deity Hua Company.
Sky Deity Hua Company was one of the top 50 companies in the world with a market value of trillions. After the Cyber Armageddon broke out, they formed an army of car-men that specialized in resisting the invading monsters. They were people that Lin Chen admired.
The CEO of this company had some old ties with Lin Yue, so Lin Chen chose to come here.
"CEO Lin, are you saying that you want to sell Deity Xia Group to me? Are you sure?"
In a luxurious conference room of the Sky Deity Hua Company, the Chairman, Chen Long, revealed an incredulous expression when he found out that Lin Chen was looking for him to sell the Deity Xia Group.
Although Lin Yue was no longer around, his son, Lin Chen, managed the company well.
These few days, it seemed to be thriving.
No matter what, he would not have thought of selling the company, right?
"I'm positive about it, Director Chen. Although the Deity Xia Group was my father's, since he had given it to me, it's mine.
"You have a deep relationship with my father. You should know that I've never liked this kind of business competition since I was young. Then, haven't I been in a conflict with the Heaven-Defying Company recently? I really don't want to fight with them, so I thought of selling the company and returning to my hometown to retire."
Chen Long nodded. "Alright, since you've said so, I have no reason to refuse."
After all, the Deity Xia Group that Lin Yue had worked hard to build could be considered the most outstanding company back then.
If he acquired the Deity Xia Group, then the entire northern part would really be dominated by him.
As for the Heaven Defying Group? That thing really did not have the capital!
"Thank you, Uncle Chen! I still have some luxury watches here. Do you want them?"
When Chen Long heard this, he waved his hand and did not waste his breath.
"No problem. I've just seen all those watches just now. The quality is good."
"How about this? With your watches and the company, I'll round up my offer to 150 billion. What do you think?"
150 billion was a reasonable figure.
Although Deity Xia Group's current market value was above 200 billion, that was after all its market value.
Using a market value of 200 billion to exchange for 150 billion worth of liquidity was not a loss.
"Alright, 150 billion it is. Uncle Chen, let's sign the contract."
"Alright, CEO Lin is straightforward!"
…
Lin Chen, who had received 150 billion in cash flow, had just walked out of Sky Deity Hua Company's office building when he saw Chen Rou, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Hey, Chen Rou, why are you still here?" Lin Chen asked.
"CEO Lin, did you sell Deity Xia Group?"
Chen Rou's expression was cold as she looked at him in disappointment.
"Yes, I've sold it. I won't be your boss anymore."
"By the way, this is for you."
Lin Chen casually threw out a car key.
"This is the key to my Rolls-Royce. I'll give it to you."
With that, he drove away without looking back, leaving Chen Rou standing there at a loss.
As she had helped him during the Cyber Armageddon in his previous life, he gave her that Rolls-Royce.
Because of the car's value, the Rolls-Royce's combat strength after the cyber transformation would not be bad. It should be able to save her life during the Cyber Armageddon.
There was only so much he could do. The rest would depend on her destiny.
