Chapter 39: Chapter 38: Ye Ling’s 200 Million [4]

Over the past two days, the Yu Group had been thrown into utter chaos. The Shengding Group was also incredibly busy with the acquisition, and Zhu Yun was even pulling all-nighters.

But Ye Ling, the man at the center of it all, was exceptionally carefree. When he had nothing else to do, he would sunbathe and playfully tease Ning Ruoxi. His life was the very picture of ease and comfort.

If Yu Tiancheng were to see this, he’d probably be so furious he’d spit blood!

"DING! Sign-in successful!"

"Congratulations, Host, for triggering a Poor Luck fortune. You have received ten cases of Ammoxi Yogurt!"

The system’s voice rang out. Ye Ling stared at the small mountain of yogurt piled in front of him, a look of resignation on his face.

For the past two days, he had signed in on time every day, but ever since acquiring the Shengding Group shares, he hadn’t triggered a single Great Luck fortune.

Right, not even a Medium Luck. It was all Poor Luck... a steady ten cases of Ammoxi Yogurt every day. It was getting to the point where he felt like he should go into the yogurt business!

’Sigh, the life of a rich man is so dull. I feel like I’ve lost my purpose, my motivation to strive for anything.’

Ye Ling lay on his bed, his face a mask of utter boredom and restlessness.

Getting nothing good from his sign-ins was one thing, but on top of that, Ning Ruoxi had been stuck to that girl Luo Yue’s side day and night for the past two days, giving him absolutely no chance to get close.

And most importantly, even though his relationship with Ning Ruoxi had been warming up these past two days, they hadn’t had any more intimate contact. Not even a little.

This was within Ye Ling’s expectations, though. At the end of the day, the girl was still quite conservative at heart.

After all, they had only known each other for such a short time. It was impossible for things to progress so quickly.

The only reason she’d snuck into his bed that day had been an anomaly. If the Yu Group hadn’t pushed Ning Ruoxi into such a tight corner, to the point she thought she would be forced to leave the very next day, he figured... reaching that stage would have taken at least another six months.

However.

Ye Ling was actually quite satisfied with this. At least it proved his girl wasn’t the casual type. So, he didn’t push her, and they shared a tacit understanding.

’Relationships are something to be nurtured slowly, like a steady stream,’ he mused.

"Chairman, we’ve now acquired seventy percent of the Yu Group’s shares and have completely taken over the company! The profit dividends from this acquisition will be transferred to your account shortly."

The call had come from Zhu Yun. Although her voice carried a hint of exhaustion, she was incredibly excited.

After three days of intense battle, she had barely slept. At most, when she absolutely couldn’t go on, she would just rest her head on her desk for a while before waking up to continue working.

Nearly the entire Shengding Group had been in a similar state, but the results were spectacular. They had actually managed to completely acquire the Yu Group!

"Excellent," Ye Ling said, pleased. "I’ll have to trouble you with the subsequent merger of the Yu Group into Shengding, but there’s no rush. Right now, you have something very important to do."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun replied with the utmost respect, "Chairman, please give your instructions."

Although she was exhausted, the thrill of such a major victory left her feeling incredibly excited and full of energy.

"Go get a good night’s sleep," Ye Ling said with a faint smile.

"What?"

Zhu Yun was taken aback.

But Ye Ling just chuckled. "I know everyone has worked hard during this time. Make an announcement—say it’s my order. Everyone involved in the acquisition gets a two-day vacation and a thirty-thousand-yuan bonus each. Tell them to get some proper rest and hand off their current tasks to others for now. Work is important, but your health is your greatest asset."

"Thank you, Chairman! I’ll go make the announcement right away!"

Hearing his words, Zhu Yun’s eyes couldn’t help but fill with excitement and joy.

After hanging up, Zhu Yun gently tapped her desk.

"Alright, everyone, listen up! Put down what you’re working on. The Chairman has spoken! To recognize our efforts, he’s giving us all a two-day vacation, and everyone can collect a thirty-thousand-yuan bonus from the finance department!"

The moment Zhu Yun finished speaking, the entire office erupted in excited cheers.

To say they had been tired these last two days would be an understatement. They were utterly exhausted.

The amount of work involved in acquiring a company was immense.

But.

The moment they heard there was a vacation—and a bonus of a full thirty thousand yuan, no less!—everyone felt it was all worth it. Many even began to think that working for Ye Ling truly offered a promising future!

Seeing this, a strange light flickered in Zhu Yun’s beautiful eyes.

There were over a hundred employees, from top to bottom, involved in the acquisition. At thirty thousand yuan each, that was an expenditure of over three million yuan in one fell swoop!

It sounded like a lot of money, but compared to the profits from acquiring the company, it was pocket change.

This wasn’t the acquisition of some small-time enterprise; it was a company ranked in the nation’s top 500!

After this, Shengding’s strength was bound to multiply.

The value generated wouldn’t be measured in millions, but in the hundreds of millions!

This money had also bought the hearts and loyalty of the employees. It was money well spent!

"DING! Your Gold VIP Card account ending in 8888 has received an electronic transfer of 200,000,000 yuan. Current balance: 202,600,038.21 yuan."

Ye Ling stared at the long string of zeroes on his phone, a smile inevitably creeping onto his lips.

’This must be the profit dividend from the acquisition that Zhu Yun mentioned.’

A full two hundred million!

Even Ye Ling couldn’t help but be rendered speechless by the amount.

Previously, renting out his entire Tomson Riviera property would only net him around thirty million a year!

And now, he’d received two hundred million in a single transaction. He had instantly become a multi-millionaire!

The most crucial part was that he had gotten this two hundred million for doing practically nothing.

In a word:

Awesome!

’The future profits should be substantial as well. With sixty percent equity, I should be able to get a dividend of several hundred million a year...’ Ye Ling thought to himself, a smile playing on his lips.

With the successful merger of the Shengding and Yu Groups, the outlook for development was incredibly positive. This two hundred million was just the beginning; the potential long-term profits were even more staggering.

The merger of two of the nation’s top 500 companies—the very title sounded impressive as hell. Shengding Group’s stock was sure to skyrocket as a result.

While its revenue certainly couldn’t compare to the state-owned energy giants, its profits would be nothing to sneeze at. And Ye Ling owned sixty percent of the equity...

’Then again,’ he mused, ’I have a bit too much money now. I need to figure out a way to spend some of it.’

Ye Ling pondered for a moment, and a completely outrageous idea suddenly struck him.

’Yes!’

’I’m casting aside my humanity!’

Ye Ling abruptly shot up from the bed, sent a quick message to Ning Ruoxi, and then headed down to the underground parking garage.
