Confession of Rebirth

Ling Fei was almost choked to death by a sip of coffee in his mouth: "Ahem, Mr. Gu really knows how to joke."

"I'm not kidding." Gu Chen smiled slightly: "If I wanted to make a joke, I wouldn't come to see Boss Ling."

With a smile on Ling Fei's face, he said solemnly: "Ling's Department Store is the foundation and pillar of our Ling's Group. As long as the Ling's Group is still there, it is impossible to sell Ling's Department Store."

"But your Ling's Group is about to go bankrupt." Gu Chen said indifferently: "The stock price has fallen to the limit. I don't know when it will resume trading. I don't know how many physical stores have been closed. The Ling's shopping malls all over the country are so hot. Tianlian doesn’t even turn on the air conditioner for the tenants. By the way, the major brands are also pursuing the Ling’s Group’s responsibility for seriously damaging the brand image during the cooperation period. I don’t know how much the Ling’s Group will pay for it...”

Before Gu Chen finished speaking, Ling Fei shook his head and smiled wryly, and hurriedly called to stop: "It seems that Mr. Gu is very familiar with the current situation of our Ling Group."

"It's Chairman Ling's Ling's Group." Gu Chen emphasized seemingly meaninglessly: "Although Mr. Ling works in the Ling's Group and holds some shares in his hands, he is still a pawn for Chairman Ling to manage the company's affairs. .It's too early to call yourself the master."

Before Ling Fei could react, Gu Chen wentssiped lightly: "If not, Mr. Ling and your father would not have established their own company outside and used their power to become suppliers of Ling's Department Store."

Ling Fei's face changed: "Mr. Gu is joking."

Gu Chen mentioned the name of the company, and praised him quite appreciatively: "Compared with Chairman Ling, your father is much more generous in caring for the fragrance and cherishing the jade. It's no wonder that the female CEO is so determined to follow your father without asking for a name." By my side, I've been following you for seven or eight years."

In early autumn, the weather is still very hot.On Ling Fei's forehead, cold sweat broke out.He looked at Gu Chen, managed to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "I just said something wrong. It seems that Mr. Gu knows everything about everyone in our Ling family. Gu always came prepared."

"Mr. Ling is too worried." Gu Chen comforted him with a smile, "I also knew about it by chance. I have no ill intentions towards Mr. Ling and your father."

Ling Zhengdao and his wife, together with Ling Xiu, caused Gu Chen and the Gu family to suffer so badly. Gu Chen dared to say that he had no malice towards the Ling family, but Ling Fei couldn't believe it.

"Let's be smart people don't speak dark words. I'm not Chairman Ling. There's no need for Mr. Ling to act in front of me. The loyalty of the two Ling families can't be written in one stroke." Gu Chen said with a smile: " I don't like the Ling family, but Mr. Ling and your father don't necessarily like Chairman Ling's family that much, do they?"

Ling Fei didn't speak.

Gu Chen continued: "In business and business, we are talking about business. It's not about love. Why should Mr. Ling worry about whether I personally like you?"

Ling Fei was shocked immediately.Looking at Gu Chen in disbelief, he remembered that Gu Chen was not like this before!

What stimulated you?

Gu Chen turned a blind eye to Ling Fei's shock, and said in a gentle voice, "Boss Ling can think about my proposal carefully."

Ling Fei snorted: "Didn't Mr. Gu just say that the Ling Group belongs to my uncle, not mine. What's the point if I think about it or not?"

"It will be soon." Gu Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Ling and your father have planned everything, I believe you will be able to get what you want."

Ling Fei didn't know what else Gu Chen knew, and his face was a little gloomy.

"Don't be nervous." Gu Chen said slowly: "I don't need to know anything. There is no need to know. Mr. Ling, don't get me wrong, I am not interested in your family affairs."

But he is interested in their Ling family's business.

Ling Fei wiped his sweat from the bottom of his heart, thinking that this was worse than Gu Chen being interested in their family affairs.

"Mr. Gu, don't waste your thoughts. Ling's Department Store is the foundation of our Ling's Group. As long as Ling's Group exists for a day, we will not be able to sell Ling's Department Store. Don't use the fact that Ling's Group is about to go bankrupt. Threatening me, we all know that as long as Ling's Department Store is still there, even if Ling's Group is delisted from the stock market, we still have a chance to make a comeback."

"Mr. Ling, why is he so stubborn." Gu Chen said with a light smile, "Looking at the current situation of the Ling Group, the company's reputation has fallen to the bottom and cannot return. The group's market value has also evaporated by more than half. In addition to some land and property buildings under the company's name, there are also some Value, even if the rest of the assets are packaged, no one may be willing to buy them. Instead of wasting them on this broken ship, Mr. Ling and his father should find a way to start a new one. At that time, they can get rid of Chairman Ling's constraints. Isn't this a business that has the best of both worlds?"

Ling Fei's heart moved, but his face was very hesitant: "Mr. Gu doesn't need to test me like this. Now that the Ling family is in a critical juncture, we are also members of the Ling family, and we will not do anything to betray uncle."

"Really?" Gu Chen chuckled, knowing what Ling Fei was guarding.He was not in a hurry: "You can think about it slowly. Go home and discuss it with your father. I am still very sincere."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chen nodded to Ling Fei, then got up and left quickly.

Looking at Gu Chen's back, Ling Fei couldn't wait to take out the phone and call his father.

"You mean that Gu Chen already knew that we were setting up a company outside to poach the corner of the group? He also proposed to you to buy Ling's Department Store?" The second uncle of the Ling family looked at Ling Fei who hurried home in a hurry, and frowned: " What the hell is he trying to do?"

"I don't know." Ling Fei said: "The Gu family was harmed like that by our Ling family. I was worried that Gu Chen wanted to provoke the relationship between us and uncle, so as to take revenge on our Ling family. But I also felt that Gu Chen His proposal is serious. He really wants to acquire Ling's Department Store."

"You're wrong." The second uncle of the Ling family shook his head slowly, and corrected him: "It's your uncle's family that hurt the Gu family and Gu Chen, and it has nothing to do with our second wife. If there is a wronged person and a debtor, even if Gu Chen wants to For revenge, the Dafang family must be the one he wants to plot against. It has nothing to do with us."

"Then you mean..."

"Gu Chen is right." The second uncle of the Ling family pondered for a moment, and then said: "In terms of the current situation of the Ling Group, except for some land and property buildings, there is really no value in taking over. Thanks to your uncle's family, the whole The reputation of the group has fallen to the bottom. Even if our father and father take over the group, there is no way to restore the reputation in a short time. But your uncle is used to being arbitrary. Even if he is forced to resign, he will not Let go of the power in your hands. He has been in the group for many years, and most of the suppliers, distributors, and branch managers are his confidants. Even if only half of these people help him wholeheartedly, it is very important to us. It's quite a hassle."

But the second uncle of the Ling family deliberately wanted to be in the top position, not just to be a puppet.

"The matter has come to this, to help your uncle solve the mess, it is better to take a sum of money and re-establish a Ling Group." The second uncle of the Ling family had bright eyes and said ambitiously: "A person who only belongs to the second room of our Ling family Ling Group."

Ling Fei asked: "Then shall we cooperate with Gu Chen?"

The second uncle of the Ling family said: "If Gu Chen wants to acquire Ling's Department Store, he probably doesn't have that much money of his own. He must still rely on Tiansui Capital. Let's see what conditions he can offer."

Could it be that Ling Fei committed a crime: "Then uncle..."

The second uncle of the Ling family suddenly asked: "Gu Chen knows that we have established a supplier company outside to poach the corner of the group, do you think your uncle knows?"

Ling Fei was blindfolded immediately: "This..."

The second uncle of the Ling family thought for a while and said, "Let's go, we'll go find your uncle right away."

Ling Fei didn't know, so: "What are you looking for uncle?"

"...Gu Chen took this matter and threatened us to cooperate internally and externally and sell Ling's Department Store to him." The second uncle of the Ling family said this, and looked at Chairman Ling with an apologetic expression: "Brother, I know that the second room is behind my back. It is our fault for the company to set up a small treasury. But we can’t write two words of Ling in one stroke. It’s okay for us father and son to make small troubles to take advantage of it, but at a critical moment, we still have to fully support the elder brother.”

Ling Fei's reaction was a bit slow: "Yes, uncle. We are a family. How can we help outsiders."

"This Gu Chen, he has a lot of appetite. He still wants to make an idea of ​​Ling's Department Store?" Chairman Ling sneered, but he was not as angry as the second uncle of the Ling family imagined: "What conditions did he give?"

The second uncle of the Ling family was moved, but he said eagerly on his face: "Brother, Ling's Department Store is the foundation of our group! This is Dad's painstaking effort, and it must not be sold."

Chairman Ling said impatiently: "Don't you know the current situation of the group? The capital chain has been broken. What's the use of keeping those broken pieces of land and buildings?"

The reputation of the company has fallen to the bottom, and the major brands have pursued responsibility and demanded compensation one after another. The current situation of Ling's Group is far more difficult than the outside world imagined.Even if Gu Chen didn't mention it, Chairman Ling actually planned to sell some assets in exchange for cash flow.It's just that Gu Chen was the first one to come to discuss business.

Thinking of this, Chairman Ling looked at Ling Fei: "Why did Gu Chen ask you to meet alone?"

Ling Fei's heart suddenly jumped: "I don't know either. Maybe he thinks I'm easy to fool? Want to use me to test Uncle's meaning?"

After all, the relationship between Gu Chen and the eldest son of the Ling family is very awkward.It's not a relationship where you can sit down and talk about business calmly.

"That's right." Chairman Ling nodded, and said meaningfully: "Young people are thin-skinned, and they always care about things that they don't need to care about in the first place."

Ling Fei didn't understand what Chairman Ling was saying, but the expression of the second uncle of the Ling family changed.

Chairman Ling ordered: "You guys contact Gu Chen first. See what conditions he can offer. The land and property buildings owned by Ling's Department Store are very good. The real estate industry has flourished in recent years, and they can sell for a Good price."

There was no mention of the leather bag company privately established by the second room of the Ling family.

When he came out of Ling's house, Ling Fei asked in confusion, "Dad, what does uncle mean?"

"What do you mean?" The second uncle of the Ling family sneered, "This Gu Chen is quite sinister. We almost fell for him."

Ling Fei was stunned: "What?"

The second uncle of the Ling family looked at his bewildered son, and said, "Your uncle already knew about our small tricks outside. I'm afraid that your uncle would turn a blind eye to the matter of our father and son poaching the corner of the group." one eye."

Gu Chen approached Ling Fei to discuss the acquisition of Ling's Department Store, Chairman Ling may not have known about it.Perhaps he would also like to take this opportunity to test the second wife of the Ling family and see if the second wife of the Ling family is as loyal as they have shown.
