Chapter 80: 79. Prince Haiman (Please add to library, please vote!)

Just as Zhang Ran and Ning Qing were talking about Game Club matters, Sicheng was also slacking off at work.

There was basically nothing to do at the company now, just some simple maintenance on old games; there was no need to develop new ones.

"Master, have you heard?" Wu Ying leaned over to Sicheng's ear and said quietly.

Sicheng asked in surprise, "Heard what?"

His mind had been entirely on the renovation lately; even though he knew there was no need for him to worry, he still couldn't help thinking about it every day, and would fantasize about the finished scene from time to time.

Wu Ying also knew that his master had probably encountered some good news recently and his heart wasn't in his work, so he wasn't surprised.

"It's that our company might be acquired." Wu Ying's tone was somewhat mysterious.

Sicheng was stunned; this was truly the first time he had heard this, so he hurriedly asked, "Really? Is the news accurate?"

"Absolutely accurate. It's spreading like crazy around the company now, and someone had the guts to ask the boss, and the boss didn't refute it either," Wu Ying said.

"If that's the case, that would be great," Sicheng said, clenching his fists. Although he had a house now and the renovation was underway, being able to keep his job and not have to spend time looking for a new one was also very good.

Wu Ying also nodded along, saying, "Exactly, I don't want to go back either."

"Then have you heard who is planning to acquire our company?" Sicheng asked.

Wu Ying thought for a moment and said, "I heard it's a rich second generation, the super-rich kind, with tens of billions in assets in the family."

"A rich second generation? Is a rich second generation reliable? Don't tell me they're just doing it for fun?" Sicheng was somewhat hesitant.

Wu Ying said, "Master, why do you care about that? Besides, today's rich second generation are actually different from what's rumored on the internet. Many of them have quite good abilities and a strong sense of career."

"The most critical thing is that we don't need to worry about the company going bankrupt at any time. Having such a strong backer, that is capital."

"And just imagine, even if these rich second generations are just playing around, what if we manage to make a relatively successful game? At that time, wouldn't there be more capital injected?"

"By then, our company's development will definitely be much faster than it is now, maybe even..."

Seeing Wu Ying starting to fantasize, Sicheng helplessly shook his head. By comparison, he was still most concerned about the company's operational issues; he hoped this rich second generation wouldn't just stop playing once they got bored.

"By the way, Master, you don't know that those people who gave gifts to Zhao Yu a while ago are all regretting it now," Wu Ying said with some schadenfreude.

The company Zhao Yu was looking for was just a newly opened one; by comparison, it was still inferior to their current company, and now that there was a rumor about a super rich second generation joining, they naturally didn't want to leave.

Hearing this, Sicheng felt secretly pleased, but he didn't show it on his face.

"What is Zhao Yu planning to do? When is he leaving the company?" Sicheng finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Wu Ying gave Sicheng an "I understand" look and whispered, "I heard this guy isn't planning to leave either."

Sicheng nodded; Zhao Yu had always been good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so he naturally knew how to choose.

"By the way, Master, do you have any connections?" Wu Ying suddenly asked.

Sicheng was puzzled, "Connections? What do you mean?"

"It's just that I heard Zhao Yu goes to the boss every day to curry favor, wanting the boss to put in a good word for him in front of the new boss," Wu Ying said.

Sicheng said, "What's the use of that? The new boss will definitely bring his own people. It's a good thing if we old employees don't get fired."

"Master, you don't understand. Didn't I just say, this is a rich second generation, and I heard it's his first time starting a business. Except for a major reshuffle in the finance department, everything else will continue to use the old employees. At that time, some company leadership positions will definitely have some changes. For example, those few who have already left, someone will definitely need to fill those spots."

Sicheng said, "I think it's very unlikely. Didn't you also say that the person has ability and isn't a fool? He definitely won't just use us old folks. By then, maybe the company's leadership will all be parachuted in. Don't forget, as long as you can afford the price, those headhunting firms can find you all kinds of people."

Wu Ying thought that was true, "Suit yourself then, but you should also be careful, don't let Zhao Yu take advantage of the situation and become our leader."

Sicheng nodded, signaling that he had heard.

Kangshilan Headquarters.

Zhao Jingyu said somewhat helplessly to Huo Zhiyuan, "President Huo, Miss Tian has been calling countless times every day, constantly asking when you will give her an answer."

Huo Zhiyuan didn't even look up, "Let her wait, say it needs to be discussed by the board of directors before it can be decided."

Zhao Jingyu was actually just venting; she had really been annoyed by Tian Ya these past few days, and it was only because of her good relationship with Huo Zhiyuan that she could say this.

Zhao Jingyu actually knew that no matter what, the cooperation request from Tian Ya and Sun Gaixin would definitely not be passed.

After handling some matters, Huo Zhiyuan remembered something, looked up and asked, "How is the communication with Prince Haiman's team going? Do they have any conditions?"

Just as Tian Ya was seeking cooperation with Huo Zhiyuan, Huo Zhiyuan was also seeking other cooperation.

Zhao Jingyu smiled bitterly, "There is no answer from that side yet. Although they didn't say it explicitly, I can feel that they are not particularly interested in this cooperation."

Huo Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "This cooperation with Prince Haiman is very important to our company."

"Although our Kangshilan's reputation and brand have always been top-tier domestically, if you investigate carefully, our brand's grade is still a bit lacking."

"And abroad, we can only say that we barely rank among the top-tier brands."

"As long as we can get in touch with Prince Haiman this time, it will be of great benefit to the elevation of our brand."

"What about Princess Lin Mei? How is the contact with her side?" Huo Zhiyuan continued to ask.

Zhao Jingyu shook her head and said, "Not very ideal."

Huo Zhiyuan was also somewhat helpless, "Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. When are Prince Haiman and the others coming to Huaxia this year?"

"If there are no accidents, it should still be during the Spring Festival. They come at this time every time they visit, though the duration varies," Zhao Jingyu said.

"Then let's wait until then. If it really doesn't work, I'll go block the door," Huo Zhiyuan made a decision.

Speaking of this Prince Haiman, there is a lot to be said about him. He can be said to be the richest prince in the British Royal Family, and he has expressed more than once in public that he likes ancient Huaxia culture very much.

Even the wife he married is a British-Chinese. Of course, it is also because of these relationships that he once publicly stated that he was giving up his right to inherit the throne.

However, this prince's personality is also very free and easy; he himself doesn't care about the throne, and his own place in the line of succession is not very high either.

What people find most fascinating is actually that this Prince Haiman gave all his sons and daughters Huaxia names.
