Chapter: 5091
"Furthermore, doing things always emphasizes momentum; if you stumble and falter at the beginning, the loss of morale and confidence will be unimaginable. It's very difficult to make big and strong progress."
As he finished speaking, Ye Chen looked at Lang Hongjun seriously: "Right now, although your fighting spirit is high, if you really encounter various difficulties in the early stages of personnel development, after two years or so, you yourself may not have the same energy as you do now."
Lang Hongjun thought for a moment and nodded lightly, sighing: "You're right. Morale and confidence are both dwindling, and people will eventually become exhausted. I used to be that way, too. My first job was terminated, and I still felt nothing special about it. After all, I had real skills and knowledge, so finding a job shouldn't be difficult. But, one after another, the setbacks came, and in the end, they ground me down completely......"
At this point, Lang Hongjun suddenly froze in place, muttering to himself: "I was like that, from a proud communication expert to a willing sailor in Mexico..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and asked, "Old brother, what was your highest-paid job at that company?"
Lang Hongjun replied hastily, "It's a famous American communication company."
Ye Chen asked again, "What's the current market value of that company?"
Lang Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "A few years ago, the company was on fire, with a market value that exceeded 10 billion USD at its peak. However, as the bubble burst and performance continued to decline, I was laid off, and the market value should have been around 10-20 billion USD by then."
Ye Chen nodded and asked him, "What's the foundation of this company?"
Lang Hongjun replied, "The foundation is good in terms of soft and hard technology. However, over the years, it has gone downhill mainly because the direction was wrong, and the leaders made incorrect judgments about the development trend of the communication market. They gradually killed off their own B2C business and then turned to providing hardware equipment and technical support to other communication companies."
Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, "That's perfect for us! If its business is doing well, with a high market value, it would be difficult for us to take it over, but once we do, the B2C business will also involve many of our experiences. Now that it's focused on providing hardware equipment and technical support, wouldn't that be suitable for us? After all, we don't aim to start a new communication company globally; we just want to establish our own communication network as soon as possible."
Lang Hongjun nodded, saying, "If combined with our situation, it would indeed be very suitable. Many of the technologies they have left are ones that we can take directly and use. The company is mostly composed of research personnel, although the market has been a mess, their research capabilities are not to be underestimated."
Ye Chen replied without hesitation, "Then let's go! Old brother, pack up quickly and come with me to America!"
Lang Hongjun exclaimed in surprise, "America? Mr. Ye, I just got here a few days ago and haven't even sorted things out yet......"
Ye Chen said, "It's more important to quickly buy out your old company right now and then go straight to talk with the boss of that company about a takeover. You're saying its value is approximately $1 billion, and if he's willing, I can offer up to $2 billion. As for how much we can negotiate, it'll depend on your skills, old brother."
Lang Hongjun's eyes widened in surprise and he blurted out, "Ye Mr., you really want to buy that company?"
"Yes," Ye Chen replied firmly, nodding his head.
"Buy it first, then let it design a satellite for us. Since they already have existing technology, it should take just a few months to design the satellite, right? Then we can produce it over another few months and be ready to launch by next semester."
Lang Hongjun's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "No need to wait that long! That company is already developing satellites for many large companies. As long as we can acquire them successfully, we'll only need to make some adjustments on our current foundation to get started. We can develop our own satellite within three months, tailored to our needs."
As he spoke, Lang Hongjun added, "If we book a launch slot with the commercial launch company now, we could have our satellite enter orbit as early as this autumn and winter!"
Ye Chen listened without hesitation and said, "Alright! That's great news! Old brother, you're coming with me to America this time. We'll do everything in our power to get that company!"
It was primarily to protect Lang Hongjun's personal safety that Ye Chen let Hong Wu and Chen Zekai accompany him, considering they were going to discuss a deal worth tens of millions of dollars. Moreover, there was no guarantee that Mei Ju Zhen didn't have other unknown associates in America.
Ye Chen got off the plane alone and drove back to the hotel where Xiao Chu Ran was staying.
He then let Fei Ke Xin help him deliver a batch of medicines during Xiao Chu Ran's daytime classes, brewing a new batch of blood-stopping heart-clarifying pills under her nose.
Subsequently, he mixed one piece of Cultivation Pill and two pieces of Rejuvenation Pill into the brew, combining it with a large quantity of tonics designed to boost physical strength. He refined out thousands of pills containing sufficient medicinal properties as well as some spiritual energy. JrNovels.com
