The money was transferred and received. With a transfer of hundreds of billions of funds, the Haicheng team coordinated and dispatched with ease. Each member was professional, efficient, and highly capable.
In less than an hour, after signing the contracts and completing the property transfer, Zhu Ning officially became the new owner of the Central Building.
Even the elites from the Shanghai law firms, who prided themselves on their efficiency and decisiveness, couldn't help but be impressed by the professionalism of the Haicheng people! How many acquisition projects must they have been through to have gained such invaluable experience?
After the payment was completed, Song Ya asked the former owner of the building to gather all the enterprise managers in the office building.
"No problem. I'm willing to help!"
A dozen minutes later, 150 company managers from the 60 - floor office building of the Central Building gathered on the hotel floor of the building.
Song Ya flipped through the documents of each enterprise and asked Xiao Zailun some questions about these companies.
Having a rough idea in mind, he asked, "Is everyone here?"
The secretary from Haicheng replied, "Everyone has arrived. You can start, General Manager Song."
Xiao Zailun asked, "General Manager Song, are you planning to clear out some companies on - site to make room for our company to move in?"
Song Ya glanced at him but didn't answer directly. He just said, "You'll know later."
Saying so, he closed the documents. The hotel manager brought a microphone. Song Ya turned it on. After a sharp noise, the venue fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on him.
Song Ya began, "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come to the hotel. Let me introduce myself. I'm Song Ya from Jude Wang. Everyone's time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush. The purpose of inviting you here today is just one thing - Jude Wang is interested in acquiring your companies for unified development. Please be prepared to offer your desired prices, and Jude Wang will pay in full at once!"
What?!
Xiao Zailun's eyes almost popped out.
Song Ya didn't call these people here to drive them away but to talk about acquisitions?!
His body started to tremble violently. He turned to look at the sea of people in the venue.
There were 150 companies here!
A full 150!
And he just said he wanted to acquire them all for unified development!
Xiao Zailun felt dizzy and his legs went weak. His newly - rebuilt worldview seemed on the verge of shattering again.
His teeth chattered in shock. "General Manager Song, should we contact Miss Zhu first..."
It wasn't that he was being stingy.
He was just really scared!
It was okay for them to spend 100 billion to acquire a building earlier.
But now there were 150 companies here, and they were all rising stars in their industries.
Song Ya just said he wanted to acquire them all. How much would that cost...
An astronomical figure...
A figure he couldn't even begin to imagine!
Could Miss Zhu afford this amount?
Would she accept his decision made without authorization?
Xiao Zailun didn't even dare to think about what would happen if Zhu Ning couldn't bear this cost.
How would they continue to operate in the industry?
His mouth was dry, and his voice trembled. "General Manager Song, we'd better contact Miss Zhu first..."
This whole thing sounded too absurd.
He just couldn't accept it.
It wasn't just Xiao Zailun who thought Song Ya's words were like a fantasy.
The others in the venue also felt like they were listening to a fairy tale.
"Did he just say he wants to acquire all of us for unified development? Are you kidding me! There are 150 companies here!"
"Hey, what is this General Manager Song of Jude Wang thinking? My company makes tens of millions in profit every day. How could I possibly sell it?"
"You guys are being too arrogant! Even those big financial groups wouldn't dare to force so many of us to sell at a low price!"
The crowd was in an uproar, angry and indignant, but Song Ya remained calm as ever.
"Who said we at Jude Wang are forcing you to sell at a low price?"
"If it's not forcing us to sell at a low price, is it a high - price acquisition?"
"Exactly. We just heard you say you want to swallow all 150 companies here."
"If it's not forcing us to sell at a low price, how could you possibly do that?"
Song Ya retorted, "How do you know we can't?"
The man was suddenly stunned. What... what did he mean?
Holding the microphone, Song Ya said, "I've said from the beginning that you can offer your desired prices, and Jude Wang will pay in full at once!"
The venue instantly exploded.
This... this wasn't a forced low - price sale but a high - price acquisition!
How could that be?!
Song Ya could see their doubts and wasn't angry. He motioned for the secretary to take out the copy of the transfer document of the Central Building for everyone to read.
After reading it, everyone was shocked.
The property rights of the Central Building had been transferred to Zhu Ning of Jude Wang?!
And it was acquired at a price nearly five times the market value!
So what Song Ya just said about acquiring their companies at a high price...
Could it be true?
"Even if it's true, I still won't sell my company... I've been running this company since its inception. It's like my child. I've watched it grow from an unknown start - up to a company worth hundreds of billions. What's the use of giving me 100 billion? Even 200 billion, I won't sell."
Song Ya immediately said, "300 billion."
The company's CEO was instantly stunned on the spot. "Wh... what?"
Song Ya asked, "You won't sell for 200 billion. How about 300 billion? Will you sell?"
Everyone in the venue gasped in disbelief. They were extremely shocked. Xiao Zailun was even more terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.
He's crazy! Song Ya is completely crazy!
He's throwing out hundreds of billions of funds without a second thought, as if he's not spending money but something less valuable than paper!
Does Miss Zhu really have such a thick family fortune for him to squander?
He trembled as he stepped onto the stage and covered the microphone. He gritted his teeth and whispered in Song Ya's ear, "General Manager Song, don't act recklessly. This is no joke. That's 300 billion! I think we should ask Miss Zhu for instructions before making any decisions!"
Song Ya understood his shock, but he knew this shock came from Xiao Zailun's limited exposure while being by Miss Zhu's side. He couldn't explain it to him. He just pushed him away and said, "I have my own plans. You don't need to worry."
"If you're scared, you can call Miss Zhu directly for confirmation. I won't mind."
Hearing this, Xiao Zailun gritted his teeth. He suddenly remembered what Zhu Ning had said before they set off: there was no upper limit to the budget.
At that time, his worldview hadn't collapsed yet, and he had also promised Zhu Ning that he would perfectly assist Song Ya in completing the task.
But now that he was really in the midst of such astronomical figures, he realized how limited his imagination was.
Acquiring 150 companies directly...
And at a high price, an increased price, a premium!
Using a multiple of the original price to acquire these companies!
Is this really possible?
After a fierce emotional struggle, he returned to his original position.
He chose not to disturb Song Ya anymore and to trust Zhu Ning.
But his teeth still chattered, his hands and feet trembled, and his whole body was sweating. His heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He was anxious and panicked.
Could they really afford all this?
