Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

There is another deeper reason why Cui Pingsheng agreed so readily. He and Yuan Xia both understand that once Xucheng Heavy Industry is acquired by foreign capital, it is equivalent to half of the domestic construction machinery being taken away by foreign capital.

Even if the brand of Xucheng Heavy Industry will be retained, Xucheng Heavy Industry will also become a foreign brand by then. They have huge brand influence and the largest market share in China. Foreign capital also enjoys preferential tax policies. Private enterprises have a greater cost advantage and can seize the market by lowering the price of their products.

At that time, the entire Chinese market will become dominated by Xucheng Heavy Industry, and the entire domestic construction machinery industry will be defeated, and most of them will not survive.Even if it can linger on, it will be a serious injury, and it is no longer possible to compete with foreign brands.

China's construction machinery brands will be the same as China's daily chemical industry. The whole army will be wiped out, or even worse, and there will be no chance of turning around.

With the loss of such a large territory in the national heavy industry field, economic security is threatened. How can we have the confidence to say that a great power will rise by then.

They prevented Xucheng Heavy Industry from being acquired by foreign capital, in fact, they were saving themselves.

After returning to Yuecheng, Yuan Xia immediately sent Cui Pingsheng his prepared bidding materials.

After Cui Pingsheng read the materials, he urgently held a high-level meeting of the company to discuss the possibility of acquiring Xugong Machinery.

As soon as the meeting was held, one stone stirred up a thousand waves and attracted various opinions.

Some people think that Cui Pingsheng is just dreaming. Their scale is far smaller than that of Xugong Machinery. How could they eat Xucheng Heavy Industry!It's better to develop your own company with peace of mind and avoid getting involved in those things.

Some people think that although it sounds a bit overreaching, since Xucheng Heavy Industry publicly sells its own equity, everyone is eligible to buy it.

These two views basically represented the attitudes of everyone. Cui Pingsheng finally tried his best to persuade the company's top management to participate in the bidding.

And report to the province to apply, and go to participate in the Xucheng Heavy Industry acquisition bid.

On December 12, Xingyue submitted an acquisition plan to Xucheng Heavy Industry, investing 12 billion yuan to acquire 23.69% of the shares of Xugong Machinery.The price and shareholding ratio were decided after discussing with Yuan Xia.

Half a month later, Xu Gong Machinery announced the results of the first round of bidding. Of the more than 30 investors who participated in the bidding, only seven entered the second round, all of which were foreign financial investment companies and investment funds.

Construction machinery giant Caterpillar also participated in the first round of bidding, but was not selected.Xucheng Heavy Industry is also worried that it will be hidden after being acquired by Caterpillar, so it is very guarded against it.

The reason why Xingyue lost the election is because it is a state-owned enterprise.

After Cui Pingsheng heard the result, he said to Yuan Xia: "Mr. Yuan, this is different from what you said! We were eliminated because we are a state-owned enterprise! It's unbelievable! Isn't the acquisition of a state-owned enterprise just a way of keeping the money out of the field? "

Yuan Xia was not surprised by this result at all, but she still said: "I didn't expect it to be a state-owned enterprise!"

Cui Pingsheng said: "Since state-owned enterprises can't do it, then private enterprises can definitely do it. You should bid together, what a pity!"

Yuan Xia said: "It may not be possible for me to go. You see, they even rejected Caterpillar, and all the companies left behind are investment companies. I guess they never thought of selling them to their peers."

Xingyuan has already tried it, but it is not a purchase, but a shareholding, but he was rejected because of his peers.

Cui Pingsheng said: "Then why are all foreign-invested companies and no Chinese-invested companies?"

Yuan Xia said: "Xucheng Heavy Industry should not only want to attract capital, but also want to introduce technology. The more important thing is that they have taken a fancy to foreign markets."

Cui Pingsheng said indignantly: "These are all investment companies, what technology do they have?"

Yuan Xia said: "They don't have technology, but they can get it. Maybe the bosses or major shareholders behind them are those foreign construction machinery giants. They couldn't buy Xucheng Heavy Industry from the front, so they bought it in another way. "

Hearing this, Cui Pingsheng gritted his teeth and said, "This trick is really vicious!"

Yuan Xia said: "This is the end of the matter, let's wait and see what happens. Look at the results of the second round of quotations."

Cui Pingsheng was worried: "He has already eliminated us all. If he really sells out, we will really be finished. We have worked hard for so many years, and finally started to make a profit. In the end, it came out like this. If it is true That way, I’m going to die of anger! In this world, it’s not enough to do well on your own, and you have to beware of being stabbed in the back by others. It’s really hard to run a business.”

Yuan Xia said: "It won't end, there will be a way."

"What else can be done?"

"Just wait and see." Yuan Xia said.

Yuan Xia knew that this villain would have to do it himself. In short, no matter what, it was impossible for Xucheng Heavy Industry to sell its shares to foreign investors. This is the largest construction machinery brand in China. If it were sold, it would be a traitor .

However, the acquisition will be a long process, and there is still work to be done.

On the eve of New Year's Day, Chongyang called Yuan Xia: "Brother, I will hold a solo exhibition next week, are you free to attend?"

Yuan Xia was overjoyed: "Of course I'm free, when will it start? I'll book a plane ticket right away." Chongyang is going to hold an art exhibition, how can the big brother not support it.

The art exhibition was held on the first weekend after New Year's Day. Yuan Xia asked Yu Xingyi to see if he was free, and Yu Xingyi said he was free.Yuan Xia asked Yuan Qiu again, Yuan Qiu must be going.

So on the evening of January 1, the three of them flew to Beijing together.Leaving Qu Wenyuan at home with the children.

Yu Xingyi said: "Chongyang is really good, and I can actually hold a solo exhibition."

Yuan Xia said: "It's been many years since I graduated, and it's time to hold an art exhibition. I just don't know how much it will cost, and I haven't heard him mention it."

Yuan Qiu said: "I asked, and it was said that a gallery owner took a fancy to one of his paintings, and organized an exhibition for him for free, which lasted for half a month."

Yu Xing smiled and said: "It's really good! It means that Chongyang has been recognized by people in the industry and has a bright future."

Yuan Xia also smiled: "I hope he sells a few more paintings. Go and have a look at that time, if you like it, let's buy it quietly."

Yuan Qiu picked his ears: "Why do I sound a bit like Van Gogh?"

Both Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Xia said: "Although Van Gogh's achievements are high, I still hope that Chongyang will not be so miserable. He has to die to become famous."

Yu Xingyi said: "You can also be like Qi Baishi, who will be successful while alive."

Yuan Xia sighed: "If that's the case, what else can I say!"

Yuan Dong also flew from Shenzhen to Beijing that night, and they stayed in the same hotel that night. No one went to live in Yuan Dong's house, mainly because they returned too hastily and were too lazy to make the bed.

Only Yuanchun did not come. She is a working class, and she is not free in time and money.

The next day, they went to the opening ceremony of the art exhibition together.Yu Zhiwen and his two sons and daughters also came. It was the first art exhibition in Chongyang, how could they not come to join in.

The name of the art exhibition is "Four Seasons Sunshine". Others may not be able to see the deep meaning of the name of the art exhibition, but the Yuan Xia brothers and sisters understand it in seconds.

When Chongyang saw his brothers and sisters, they all came over and hugged one by one: "Thank you, brothers and sisters, I am so happy that you can come."

Yuan Dong lightly punched him in the chest, and said: "Of course I will come. Our younger brother has become a great painter, so we must come to witness."

Emma greeted her brothers and sisters warmly, with a bright smile on her face. Yuan Qiu noticed her belly was slightly protruding, so she couldn't help leaning over and asked in a low voice, "Is Emma having a baby?"

Emma looked at Yuan Qiu with wide eyes in surprise, then took a peek at Chongyang, nodded slightly, and said to Yuan Qiu in a low voice: "I haven't told Chongyang yet, we'll talk about it after the exhibition is over."

Yuan Qiu looked at Emma's belly and started to show her pregnancy. It has been at least four months. Didn't Chongyang's stupid head notice it?Emma fends for herself?

She quickly pulled Emma aside to inquire about the situation.It turned out that Emma only discovered it last month. Her morning sickness was not obvious. She hadn't had her period for two months. She quickly bought a pregnancy test stick and tested it. It turned out that she was really pregnant.But during this period of time, Chongyang was concentrating on preparing for his art exhibition, Emma didn't want to distract him, so she didn't tell him.

Yuan Qiu said with a smile: "You should tell him, maybe he will have more inspiration after learning about it."

Emma covered her mouth with her hands: "Yes, why didn't I think of this!"

Yuan Qiu patted her: "It's okay. I'll tell him after the exhibition is over."

Emma nodded: "Yes."

The location of the exhibition is located in Factory 798, Chaoyang District. It used to be a radio factory. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the factory declined and the factory buildings were idle. Many artists rented houses here as studios, and gradually formed an art gathering area.

Chongyang also rented a studio here and met many like-minded friends. A friend who opened a gallery took a fancy to one of his paintings and proposed to help him hold a small exhibition, so this exhibition came about.

In the past two years, the artistic atmosphere of 798 has gradually formed a climate, and it has become famous in the circle. Many art lovers like to hang out here when they are free. There are artists, students, and collectors.

Therefore, the popularity of the Chongyang Art Exhibition is not bad, at least there is no crowd.When Yuan Xia and the others arrived, there were already people visiting inside.

In order to popularize Uncle Chongyang, Sonar and Mulati also called some classmates and colleagues over to play.

Chongyang has prepared more than 80 paintings for this exhibition, mainly traditional Chinese paintings, as well as oil paintings and gouache paintings, with various themes.

Yuan Xia and Yu Xing looked at the pictures one by one from the entrance, and there were four screens of freehand paintings of spring, summer, autumn and winter at the entrance, and it was written not for sale at the entrance. This was the painting that the gallery owner was fancying.

I have to say that the boss has a good vision, if he hadn't left, Yuan Xia would have to secretly buy it.

Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi spent the morning and finally finished appreciating all of Chongyang's paintings.These paintings are the paintings after Chongyang graduation. Generally speaking, after returning from France, they have made remarkable progress. There are a few freehand sketches that Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi like very much.

Yuan Xia called Sonar and told her that if these paintings hadn't been sold by the end of the exhibition, she should find a friend to buy them for her, and don't let Chongyang know that they bought them.

Sonar patted his chest and agreed: "Okay, uncle, I understand, this matter is on me!"
