Chapter 195: Contemplating An Acquisition

The two of them had a quiet dinner together, alone with their own thoughts.

It was still early after dinner. They couldn’t sleep anyway due to jetlag, so Gu Shaoting suggested that they have a drink at the hotel bar downstairs.

After Gu Shaoting and He Ming walked into the bar, they attracted the attention of a group of blonde-haired and blue-eyed girls.

Especially Gu Shaoting, as he lounged on the sofa looking elegant, charming, and all kinds of perfection. He was flawlessly handsome with eyes as dark as night and his gaze, while sharp and intimidating, flashed with wisdom.

But the cold aura he exuded made the girls afraid.

Gu Shaoting took a few sips of his drink.

“Ming, I thought for a long time when I was on the plane today. Didn’t you suggest before that we should expand our design department? Our real estate business is growing rapidly now. It would be more efficient if we had our own designers and interior decorators. Communications would also be more effective and convenient,”

Gu Shaoting changed subjects too quickly and He Ming couldn’t keep up with his pace. He said a confused “huh” and took a while to understand what Gu Shaoting meant.

“Yes, I’ve suggested that before. We have good resources and a good design team now, but we are seriously shorthanded. We can’t cope with all the work and are forced to outsource sometimes, which makes us dependent on third parties. Outsourcing also lowers our overall efficiency and hampers quality control.”

“Then let’s do it.” Gu Shaoting’s tone was very casual like he was commenting about the good weather today. “You can begin preparation now.”

He Ming thought that Gu Shaoting was just joking. After all, expanding such a big department was no joke. “Really? You are not drunk, are you?”

Gu Shaoting took another sip of his drink before he continued in a calm voice, “Recruitment and training takes time after all. It will take even more effort if we poach employees from other companies. We can also grow by acquisition.”

He Ming widened his eyes in surprise and looked Gu Shaoting in the eye to make sure that he wasn’t kidding.

Gu Shaoting continued seriously, “Didn’t you say that the more reputable companies in the industry include Sunrise Architecture? It’s not bad. It hasn’t gone public yet but has great potential. Moreover, their boss needs cash now to fund his other investments. If you think the company is okay, let’s have a discussion with them.’

“Sunrise Architecture? Isn’t that where Shu Pan works now?” He Ming had a sudden realization.

“That’s right. That Sunrise Architecture.” Gu Shaoting nodded.

Actually, Gu Group was doing really well now, be it in real estate or other sectors. They were doing exceptionally well.

No matter how good Sunrise was, there was no need to acquire a company. After all, acquisition was a huge expense. If they wanted to expand a department, they could very well hire or even engage headhunters to help them hire.

“Why do you suddenly want to acquire Sunrise? What’s your motive?” He Ming felt that it wasn’t a rational move after thinking through.

“Because that company is quite established. The organization structure and staffing can remain. They would just be subsumed under Gu Group. That saves us time and gives their boss the money he needs. It’s a win-win situation.”

Gu Shaoting lowered his eyes and took another sip of his drink after he finished speaking.

“Is that really the reason? There are many other companies better than Sunrise

Architecture.. Why did you pick Sunrise?”
