The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

Early in the morning, at the Huo Group headquarters building.

Su Wanwan stood in front of the French window in the office, overlooking the morning view of the city. Today was the last day of the merger and acquisition negotiations with Green Wing Technology, and she knew it would be the most critical moment.

"Are you ready?" Huo Yanshen's voice came from behind.

Su Wanwan turned around and saw her husband coming over with two cups of coffee. She took the coffee and took a sip, feeling the familiar bitterness and warmth.

"Well," she nodded, "but I always feel that something unexpected might happen today."

Huo Yanshen held her hand and said, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, we will face it together."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Wang He calling.

“Wanwan,” Wang He’s voice sounded a little anxious, “something went wrong. Several major shareholders of our company suddenly changed their minds and asked to review the terms of the merger and acquisition.”

Su Wanwan frowned, "What happened?"

“I don’t know for sure,” Wang He said, “but I suspect it may be related to the Far East Group. They seem to have promised some conditions to shake the resolve of several shareholders.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan told Huo Yanshen about the situation.

Huo Yan thought for a moment, "It seems that Cheng Yuan is still unwilling to give up. We have to formulate a new strategy."

Su Wanwan nodded. "That's right. The most important thing now is to convince those wavering shareholders. We have to let them see the long-term benefits of cooperating with the Huo Group."

Two hours later, the negotiations resumed.

The atmosphere in the conference room was more tense than the previous two days. Su Wanwan noticed that several shareholder representatives of Green Wing Technology looked a little uneasy.

“Good morning, everyone,” Su Wanwan said. “Before we continue our discussion, I’d like to hear your thoughts. Do you have any new concerns or suggestions?”

An older shareholder representative cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Su, we do have some new considerations. Given the current market uncertainty, we think we may need to adjust the acquisition price and terms."

Su Wanwan was well prepared. She said calmly, "I understand your concerns. However, before making any decision, I would like to ask you to consider a question: What is the purpose of this merger?"

She looked around to make sure everyone was listening.

"Is it for short-term benefits? Obviously not. We are interested in Green Wing Technology's technical strength and future potential. Green Wing Technology chose us because the Huo Group can provide all-round support and resources."

Su Wanwan stood up and walked to the projection screen.

"Let's take a look at the market forecast for the next five years." She pulled up a detailed chart. "Although there may be fluctuations in the short term, the growth trend of the new energy industry is obvious in the long run. The combination of Huo's Group and Green Wing Technology will enable us to occupy an absolute leading position in this rapidly developing market."

She paused to let the information digest.

“I know that there may be other companies that have promised you a higher acquisition price. However, I would like to ask you to consider a question: What can they offer to Green Wing Technology for its long-term development?”

Su Wanwan's words seemed to touch the people present. Several shareholder representatives began to talk in low voices.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man strode in.

“I’m sorry I’m late,” the man said. “I’m Cheng Yuan, the representative of the Far East Group.”

Su Wanwan was shocked. She didn't expect Cheng Yuan to personally take action. She suppressed her inner anxiety and remained calm on the surface.

“Mr. Cheng,” she said with a smile, “welcome to join our discussion. However, I remember that the Far East Group was not invited to participate in this negotiation, right?”

Cheng Yuan smiled meaningfully. "Mr. Su is right. However, as a potential investor in Green Wing Technology, I think I am qualified to participate in this discussion."

He looked around and paused for a moment on several shareholder representatives. They were clearly feeling a little uncomfortable.

Su Wanwan realized that the situation was more complicated than she had imagined. She took a deep breath and decided to face the challenge head on.

"Since Mr. Cheng is here, why don't we listen to the Far East Group's proposal?" she said with a hint of provocation in her tone.

Cheng Yuan seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. He walked to the conference table and took out a document.

"Everyone," he said, "Far East Group is willing to acquire Green Wing Technology at a price 30% higher than the current offer. In addition, we promise to invest an additional 10 billion yuan in research and development in the next three years."

There was an exclamation in the conference room. The eyes of several shareholder representatives lit up.

Su Wanwan felt dizzy. Cheng Yuan's offer far exceeded her expectations. If she accepted this condition, the Huo Group would face huge financial pressure.

Just as everyone was talking, Huo Yanshen stood up.

"Mr. Cheng's proposal is indeed very tempting," he said calmly, "but I would like to ask Mr. Cheng a question: How does Far East Group plan to integrate Green Wing Technology's technology and business?"

Cheng Yuan obviously didn't expect this question. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well... we will set up a special new energy department to fully support the development of Green Wing Technology."

Huo Yanshen nodded, "It sounds good. However, does Far East Group have any experience in the field of new energy? What specific support can you provide to Green Wing Technology?"

Cheng Yuan's expression became a little awkward. Obviously, he was not familiar with the new energy industry.

Su Wanwan seized the opportunity and took over the topic: "Ladies and gentlemen, business mergers and acquisitions are not just about price. What's more important is the strategic fit and long-term development prospects."

She pulled up a new slide that detailed the Huo Group's layout and resources in the new energy field.

“This is the five-year development plan we have formulated for Green Wing Technology. It includes a technology research and development roadmap, market expansion strategy, and synergy with the Huo Group’s existing business. I believe this is the solution that can truly create value for Green Wing Technology.”

The conference room fell silent again. Everyone was thinking seriously about Su Wanwan's words.

Wang He stood up and said, "Mr. Su is right. As the founder of Green Wing Technology, I am more concerned about the long-term development of the company. Simply acquiring at a high price cannot guarantee the best application and development of our technology."

He turned to the other shareholder representatives and said, "Everyone, we founded Green Wing Technology not to make quick money, but to realize our technological ideals. The Huo Group not only has financial strength, but more importantly, they understand and respect our philosophy."

Cheng Yuan's face turned ugly. He tried to refute, but found that his argument seemed pale and powerless.

At this moment, a young shareholder representative suddenly spoke up: "I have a suggestion. Since both companies value Green Wing Technology, why not consider a three-party cooperation?"

This suggestion caught everyone's attention. Su Wanwan and Cheng Yuan looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes.

Su Wanwan was the first to break the silence: "This is an interesting idea. However, a three-party partnership may lead to lower decision-making efficiency and affect the company's development speed."

Cheng Yuan agreed: “Yes, and there may be a conflict of interest.”

Seeing the rare agreement between the two, the young shareholder representative lowered his head in embarrassment.

Wang He then stood up and said, "Everyone, I think we should go back to the original question. When we choose a partner, the most important thing is to see who can truly understand and support our technical concepts and who can provide the best platform for the long-term development of Green Wing Technology."

He looked at Su Wanwan with trust in his eyes: "After these few days of contact and today's discussion, I think the Huo Group is undoubtedly the best choice."

The other shareholder representatives also nodded in agreement. Cheng Yuan saw that the situation was irreversible and left the meeting room in dismay.

The negotiations quickly reached a final agreement. When Su Wanwan and Wang He signed the merger agreement, warm applause broke out in the conference room.

After the signing ceremony, Wang He walked over to Su Wanwan and said sincerely, "Wanwan, to be honest, I had some doubts about this merger at first. But after these few days of contact, especially today's competition, I am more and more convinced that choosing the Huo Group is the right decision. Your vision and way of doing things make me full of confidence in the future."
