The supermarket was closed so late at night, so Lu Ming and Zhen went to Wuyoumei in Beiguan early the next morning to try their luck.
Zhen is now wearing a pearl, a palace skirt inside, and a windbreaker and a black top hat outside, which doesn't look strange.
He went shopping in the supermarket first, and regardless of Zhen's opinion, he bought her many small accessories. Zhen's pretty face, hidden under the black hat, was red all the way, but it was obvious that her beautiful eyes were full of joy.
Finally, Lu Ming went to locker No. 15 and opened it smoothly. There was a file bag inside, which Lu Ming stuffed into his briefcase.
…
There were more than a dozen photos in the file bag. In the photos, Kato Masakazu was stabbing a boy with a knife. Judging from the background, it was in a secret room.
The action in each photo is continuous. In the last photo, you can clearly see that the knife in Kato Masakazu's hand has stabbed into the body of the poor boy.
I don't know how many times I have looked at these photos from last night until now, and there is no sign of forgery in these photos. They should be authentic.
But there is no base plate, which is a bit of a problem.
Outside, someone knocked gently on the bedroom door, "Master, lunch is ready." It was Hanzhu's voice.
Lu Ming put the photos away, stuffed them into a file bag, and locked it in the safe.
Bisi usually eats lunch at school, but unexpectedly, Pan Mila came alone. It seems that she likes Hanzhu's Chinese food very much and comes to eat for free.
Strangely, there were several large suitcases in the living room.
However, Lu Ming's mind was not here at all. He was distracted while eating, thinking about what to do with the photos.
Hand it over directly to the prosecution. Seeing how powerful these Japanese people are, we don’t know if the physical evidence will be lost in the end.
It would also be wrong to transfer it to Li Guan. If the case is finally heard by the Ninth Circuit Court, that is, the Beiguan Court, and Li Guan is designated as the presiding judge, and he has seen the physical evidence in advance, and it is not submitted by the prosecution, and if it is finally exposed, it will have a great impact on the prosecution.
It seems that I have to keep it myself first. If I can join the prosecutor's team, that would be great. If not, I can observe this prosecutor's team and choose a more upright prosecutor to hand over the evidence to him.
"Oh, take the new operations officer to Room 408 of Wendebao in the afternoon to discuss company matters." Lu Ming said casually to Pan Mira.
Now I feel that having room 408 is not bad. It can be regarded as my own studio where I can talk about work in a relaxed and comfortable manner.
Lu Ming didn't pay much attention to what Pan Mila said. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake to eat, then started thinking about the case again.
…
Both Hua Xia Technology and Hua Xia Clothing Industry have recruited new employees, Hua Xia Technology hired ten people and Hua Xia Clothing Industry hired five people.
The new operating officer that Lu Ming wants to meet is the operating officer of Hua Xia Technology. Pan Mira’s current positions are Lu Ming’s personal assistant, vice president of Hua Xia Technology, and president of Hua Xia Clothing Industry, but her work focus is mainly in Hua Xia Clothing Industry.
The study room in 408 also functions as an office. It is very spacious and has a large floor-to-ceiling glass window on the side, through which you can see the green hillside.
Opposite the large desk, sat a middle-aged woman in a beige suit. She exuded the aura of a strong woman and looked very confident and capable. Although she was in her forties, she was well maintained and had delicate makeup. She looked like a young woman in her early thirties.
This is Wang Peipei, the newly hired operations officer of Huaxia Technology. Lu Ming offered her a monthly salary of 500 yuan. Even in Donghai, she belongs to the top 5% of the high-income group. One month's salary is equivalent to half a year's salary of an ordinary senior white-collar worker.
In fact, Wang Peipei was introduced by Wen Liangyu. Lu Ming was reluctant to give in and wanted to meet her casually, but he didn't expect that after the interview, he was very satisfied with her.
Just as Wen Liangyu said, Wang Peipei is very outstanding. Moreover, she is tired of working in a big company for a long time and is very enthusiastic and willing to join a promising startup company.
Twenty years ago, he was a top student at the Royal Alice Institute of Technology with an impressive resume. He had been working in large companies, from technical positions to administrative positions, but last year he resigned from Booker Instruments.
Booker Instruments is the largest company in the Empire producing a variety of specialized instruments. It almost monopolizes the patent rights for instrument products and is one of the Empire's oldest technology companies.
The reason why Wang Peipei resigned was very simple. No matter how well she did or how hard she worked, as the company's former youngest middle-level manager and now the most experienced middle-level manager, she could never enter the real senior management level.
On the one hand, it's because she is from Central China, but more importantly, it's because she is a woman. It is extremely difficult for working women to enter the senior management of large companies today.
Finally, Wang Peipei, exhausted both physically and mentally, resigned and had been resting for nearly a year.
I met Lu Ming a few days ago, also because Wen Liangyu persuaded me to do so, so I came out to deal with it. According to Wen Liangyu's words, I thought he was just the second generation of a chaebol family who was fooling around and starting a business.
However, after talking with Lu Ming for a few sentences, I was shocked. It seemed that this young man's ideas were decades ahead of ordinary people.
In the business world and in terms of corporate development, such leaders are a double-edged sword. They can be disastrous, but they can also bring unimaginable development potential.
And she quickly made a decision and was willing to take a chance, so she joined the young man's company.
At this moment, Lu Ming was drinking tea and said with a smile: "Sister Wang, I heard that you and Brother Wen were middle school classmates?"
Wang Peipei smiled gently: "Not really. Fourth Brother Wen was held back for several grades. When I was promoted to Form One, he was still in Senior Primary School."
Lu Ming smiled, but he actually had a vague feeling that Wen Liangyu had selfish motives in wanting Wang Peipei to work in his company. Perhaps Wang Peipei was the woman deep in his heart that he admired and secretly loved, but could not get.
At Wen Liangyu's level, the added bonus of being young and beautiful is nothing, especially when it comes to expressing feelings.
"Let's not talk about him, boss. I read the business plan sent by Sanmai Flying Company and I feel that there is nothing special about it. The financing plan they proposed, in which you invest 500,000 in exchange for 23% of Sanmai's equity, is not sincere either. Sanmai is in a difficult situation now, and what you sent is timely relief. However, according to the financing plan, after this round of financing, the Madison family will own 20% of Sanmai's equity, and the other eight partners will own a total of 57%. Six of the eight partners are branches of the Madison family. So, in the final analysis, Sanmai is still firmly controlled by the Madison family, and you, the largest shareholder, have no say at all."
"They are in urgent need of this capital to recover, but they only want money and have no promises to you. How can that work? I think, at the very least, you need to have joint decision-making power. You'd rather give up one or two points of equity. Only in this way can you take responsibility for the development of Sanmai Company."
"Otherwise, this old family business, with all kinds of nepotism and complicated personnel relationships, will find it difficult to develop. I'm afraid your money will be divided up by them right away. Make up for the losses of the past few years first."
Lu Ming nodded: "Madison is a man with skills and vision, but he seems to be a little soft-hearted. Being at the helm of a company has both advantages and disadvantages!"
Thinking about it, "I originally wanted to let Sanmai develop freely, like spreading bait widely. If it succeeds, that's great. If it doesn't, it's just an unsuccessful attempt. I always feel that the era of flying machines will eventually replace airships."
"But your reminder is not without reason. Let's put forward the cooperation plan we hope for. Five hundred thousand is my first investment, and three hundred thousand of it can be used as funds to purchase the equity of other shareholders and let them leave. In this way, the proportion of new equity will be converted accordingly, and my second investment of three hundred thousand will come in soon. Oh, you do the math. If this is the case, by the time I invest eight hundred thousand, how much will I roughly own?"
As Lu Ming spoke, he also did a quick calculation in his mind. According to the original agreement, with 500,000 yuan, he would own 23% of the shares. In this way, 300,000 yuan could buy back 13.8% of the shares. Combined with the second round of investment of 300,000 yuan, theoretically it was equivalent to injecting an additional 300,000 yuan and buying out the remaining 300,000 yuan of shares. In the end, he would own 36.8% of the shares.
The Madison family and other shareholders who did not sell their shares will remain in control of their shares.
Wang Peipei was also stunned after hearing Lu Ming's words. She was not optimistic about the investment at first, but after all, she had just joined the company and did not want to dampen the enthusiasm of the new boss, so she could only express her opinion tactfully. However, she did not expect that the new boss had a clearer way of thinking. Her words might cause him to lose more. From an investment of 500,000, he increased the investment to 800,000, in order to kick out those burdens who were pessimistic about the company's development, or at least significantly dilute their shares.
What is this for? Isn’t money money? Nowadays, except for the giants in the steel, oil, and automobile industries that have reached the billion-dollar or even billion-dollar asset level, the rest of the tens of millions are large companies.
Eight hundred thousand, almost one million of funds, and you just decided to throw it away without thinking
"Also, let me add a condition. You will be my representative, um, a representative of the director, and participate in the management of Sanmai Company. However, you should mainly support Madison's work and help him get rid of the noise. In terms of specific operations, Madison will be the main person." Lu Ming said after thinking.
"I need to think about it carefully before I can give you my answer." Wang Peipei smiled bitterly in her heart. She was indeed a little confused by this young boss. She needed to calm down, sort things out, and then come up with her own opinion on whether she should invest or not, and if so, what method should be used to ensure the safest investment.
Moreover, the boss is in high spirits right now, and pouring cold water on him may backfire.
Lu Ming nodded. In fact, he had already made up his mind. As for Wang Peipei's opinion, he would consider it and listen to both sides. But he would definitely continue with this investment.
As for the second investment of 300,000 yuan, I plan to wait until I get the equity and pledge it to the bank. I can get a loan of about 60% of the equity worth 500,000 yuan, which is 300,000 yuan.
However, it was barely possible to borrow tens of thousands through Zhou Xiaobao, but for a huge loan of three hundred thousand, he would need to meet with the bank's executives in person. The Imperial Bank was a state-owned bank, so it was inevitable that benefits would be given to relevant people.
Only in this way can you get something for nothing.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming said, "Please cooperate with Pan Mi La regarding the company's relocation to a new address."
Hua Xia Technology and Hua Xia Clothing Industry will both move to the office building in Wolong Bay. The renovation and decoration will be done one floor at a time, so it will not affect their move now. The office suite in Jiniao Building cannot accommodate more than a dozen people.
"Okay!" Wang Peipei nodded gently. Seeing that the conversation was coming to an end, she said, "Boss, if there is nothing else, I'll take my leave first!"
Lu Ming also stood up and walked Wang Peipei out of the study. Just as they walked out, the door lock at the porch clicked and Pan Mila walked in pulling a large suitcase.
The beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a sapphire blue suit, snow-white stockings, beautiful legs and red high heels, and an exquisite and beautiful gauze scarf around her neck, looks elegant and sexy, and her figure is so beautiful that it looks like a painting.
Looking at the suitcase pulled by Pan Mila's slender hands, Wang Peipei nodded to her gently: "Ms. Pan!" Then she said to Lu Ming: "Boss, there's no need to see me off!" With a meaningful smile on her lips, she went out and closed the door.
Seeing Pan Mi La pulling a large suitcase into the bedroom, opening it, and starting to stuff clothes into the closet, Lu Ming was stunned. "What are you doing?"
"Since you gave me the key, of course I'm going to treat this place as my second home!" Pan Mi La didn't even turn her head and just packed up the closet.
"Also, Bisi and I have moved to the second floor."
"Huh?" Lu Ming's head was full of question marks.
"You promised to have lunch with us. The entire first floor is being rented out, and we don't know who it will be rented to. What if it's rented to a pervert? We'd better move out. Didn't you promise to let us move to the second floor temporarily and look for a house slowly?"
Lu Ming scratched his head and seemed to have some recollection. It was Zhen begging in a low voice, asking Pan Mila and her daughter if they could come and keep her company.
My mind was full of the lawsuit, so I didn't pay attention to what she said and just nodded and agreed.
Zhen might not make any requests in a year, so it's natural to agree to everything without thinking.
My company moved to a new address, but I had rented the office suite in Jiniao Building for a year and had only used it for more than two months. It was a waste to leave it vacant, so I discussed with Wang Da'an and decided to move the Wang-Lu Law Firm to Jiniao Building.
As for the first floor of No. 3 Jing'an Lane, I actually have no plan to rent it out. I'd like to open up the originally enclosed passages on the first and second floors in the future and use it as a residence. It's quite spacious.
Shaking his head, Lu Ming said, "Please contact Li Guan's office later and ask her assistant if she has time to meet with me in the next one or two days. I have some new ideas about the case involving the Japanese man."
"Okay!" Pan Mi La put down what she was doing, "I'll go and communicate right away!"
As an assistant, she is impeccable.
