Make an Excellent Person

At this moment, the manager of Dawn Asset Management Company was sitting in Lin Qi's room. This manager was named Asier, whose full name was Asier El Ruko. He was not a native of the Bayer Federation, but came from another country.

The Bayer Federation is actually quite casual about names, but not to the point of being so bizarre. Coupled with his slightly brownish skin, he is an immigrant.

Immigrants are not all wealthy people; middle-class immigrants make up the majority, and even Labor Immigration were very popular in previous years.

A few years ago, the Federal received a lot of investment from international speculative capital, and all industries began to flourish. However, a labor shortage began to emerge in society, which led to the birth of a new industry: human trafficking.

These companies, operating under the guise of Labor Company, scour the world for laborers willing to work elsewhere or avoid war, and then send them to the Bayer Federation to perform heavy manual labor and low-level jobs. This greatly alleviated some of the labor shortages that plagued the Federal during its early stages of rapid development.

As the population subsequently shifted from rural areas to cities, the labor shortage was alleviated or even resolved. Some people believe that these "illegal workers" stole jobs that should have belonged to the country's working people.

Thus, under the influence of the Conservative Party, the Immigration Bureau was established, and many foreign illegal workers who may have been sent over by this group in the early days were caught and sent back by this group.

But some people stayed in the Federal; there are always some lucky ones.

Asier was one of them. He was cunning and clever, and quickly stood out from the ordinary laborers. Because he had been to school and could write and do arithmetic, he became a Foreman not long after arriving in the Federal.

He spent his free time reading and studying, and married a local girl early on—an ordinary-looking but overweight girl weighing 200 pounds. As a result, Asier escaped being sent back and was able to obtain an insurance number and pay Social Insurance.

Even so, the labor market still holds prejudices against these immigrants. Life is already difficult for native-born citizens, so life is even more difficult for immigrants.

When Lin Qi was recruiting managers, he discovered Asier, a bright enough young man.

In fact, many more outstanding professional managers participated in the interview at the time. They had better knowledge and education than Asier and more extensive work experience, but none of them won Lin Qi's favor.

On the contrary, it was this young man who intrigued Lin Qi. He wasn't interested in the young man's experiences, but rather in the smile on Asier's face.

It's hard to describe that smile; it's very different from Lin Qi's smile.

Lin Qi's smile is clean, clear, sunny, and full of cheerfulness and confidence. His smile is like the spring breeze that melts away the cold winter, making people feel the sunshine of the revival of all things, and making people feel good about him as soon as they see him.

Asier's smile was like a flower that refused to bow its head despite the frost in late autumn—strong, full of courage, and giving the first impression of being reliable, tenacious, and never giving up.

This smile is very inspiring; it makes people feel motivated and energetic just by looking at it.

What Lin Qi valued was that smile. He knew very well that, whether it was a legal or illegal business, the first step in any business was communication and exchange.

No matter how high your education is or what important positions you have held, if you sit face to face with a picky and difficult client, will they look at you with more respect because of your excellence?

No, on the contrary, a smile is the most powerful weapon. It can quickly dismantle the other party's defenses without any words or communication, which is the most powerful weapon.

As for other things, as long as you put in the hard work, you can always train them, but this kind of smile with special texture is very difficult.

Lin Qi spent half his life mastering that smile, yet this young man seemed to possess it naturally. Sometimes, some people's natural gifts are truly enviable.

At the time, Lin Qi made the decision to sign Asier and make Asier the manager of several of his companies.

The Skinny Tall Guy was right; Lin Qi himself was behind Asier and Dawn Asset Management Company.

As with heavy topics like capitalist plunder, the nature of capital is always evil. Perhaps they weren't like that at first, but now they have come to realize the reality.

So, is this kind of plunder uncounterable? Not at all. The simplest way is to establish other companies to cross-shareholding, just like now. Lin Qi used another company under his name to acquire shares in Interstellar Trade Company. From the perspective of Interstellar Trade Company alone, his shareholding ratio is constantly decreasing.

In reality, aside from the shares that were actually sold, he didn't actually lose much power.

These small companies usually remain silent, but when the company faces important decisions and Lin Qi needs support, these small companies will stand by his side—without a doubt, these are all his companies.

This would give him considerable decision-making power, which is also preparation for the future, since he plans to split up the company and raise money again.

An old man once told him a story: selling something for an exorbitant price isn't a skill; many people possess that ability. Given the right time and the right excuse, it's easy to do.

The real skill is being able to sell something for an exorbitant price multiple times without breaking the law; that's real skill!

At this moment, Asier was sitting on the sofa opposite Lin Qi, looking at Lin Qi's calm face with a mixture of curiosity and emotion.

He found it hard to believe that Lin Qi, who had just outwitted two groups of people, showed no sign of smugness on his face, which impressed Asier.

He has done many different jobs and met many people over the years, but this is the first time he has seen someone so young who has achieved such a scale.

At first, he thought Lin Qi might be someone's child or someone's agent. After all, this kind of thing is very common. For example, everyone knows that the wealthy Mark is just a figurehead. He is only a few years older Lin Qi.

But Asier soon discovered that Lin Qi was Lin Qi himself, and he was not anyone's puppet, which surprised him.

Today was just another day of surprise for him.

"After you return to Sabine City tomorrow, publicize our deal. Make it as big as possible, buy some newspaper ads, and also include the acquisition of the newly established Transportation Company in it..."

Lin Qi instructed Asier on his next tasks, and the foreign immigration manager was quickly taking notes in his notebook. He dared not underestimate him in the slightest, and even felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He was sure he could learn a lot of useful things from Lin Qi that he could not learn in society.

Cook made Lin Qi and his crew a separate Transportation Company. Lin Qi was the owner and held 90% of the shares. The remaining shares were awarded to the entire transportation team as an incentive, while Cook had the authority to distribute them.

Then the Transportation Company will be acquired by Dawn Asset Management Company, and they will sign a contractual transportation agreement with Lin Qi to undertake the transportation work of Interstellar Trade Company within the state, and it will be exclusive.

Considering some issues in the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, the contract period for this agreement is not long, only three years, which is far from meeting some legal thresholds.

Here I have to say that the Bayer Federation is truly a messed up country, with so many complicated legal provisions that Lin Qi almost gave up the desire to continue reading.

In short, for the next three years, provided that neither party violates any regulations, the Transportation Company acquired by Dawn Asset Management Company will be fully responsible for Interstellar Trade Company's transportation business within the state.

All of this was completed before the investors invested, and the New Shareholder naturally have no right to change or interfere with these contracts unless they pay tens of millions in breach of contract penalties.

This is only part of the lasso, not the whole thing, and it doesn't even qualify as deception or anything, because Lin Qi would state in the contract that these contents exist before they invest.

Given that they already knew about these things, their decision to invest indicates that they agreed to the agreement, and the law will likely be on Lin Qi's side.

Then there's something else, which is basically about having Asier set up another Construction Company. Later, the Interstellar Trade Company will have many construction projects, so it's better to benefit yourself than others.

Even if they can't get the qualifications to undertake large projects in a short period of time, they can still "win the bid" and subcontract the work, which can save them an extra amount of money.

After Asier experienced once again how terrible and evil society could be, he returned to his room satisfied and began to seriously study Lin Qi's ideas and guidance.

The next day, Lin Qi, who was originally scheduled to leave, was asked to stay by the local businessmen.

Dawn Asset Management Company's intervention set the bottom line for this matter. After discussions with Noah, the businessmen in Kuli Lan City abandoned their idea of acquiring a majority stake, opting instead for the right to attend, and signed a completely new agreement with Lin Qi.

They agreed to acquire 5% of Lin Qi's Interstellar Trade Company's shares with a 40% cash stake, along with a supplementary clause granting them priority rights to increase their stake in future refinancing of the Interstellar Trade Company.

To put it simply, when new capital enters the company, they can prioritize increasing their capital to maintain their shareholding at around 5%, rather than being diluted to the point where they no longer have the right to attend Board of Directors meetings as more capital comes in.

This is the true mindset and standard for doing business; those "insiders" who want to take advantage of Lin Qi can't learn this.
