Rebirth of the Wild Age - chapter 688

In the not-so-wide alley, a string of vehicles flooded into it, and some of the bodies were printed with words such as “xx media” and “xx television station”.

When the first Audi stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Wu Changjiang pushed the door and got out of the car. He turned to look at the reporter who got off the car after him. He clasped his fists and smiled, “Dear friends from journalists, let’s talk another day. Clean.”

“Mr. Wu, you paid 3.88 million to photograph the dinner, really just want to discuss “The Selection of Mao” with Boss Song?”

“Mr. Wu, some time ago, your partners withdrew their shares and each took away 80 million yuan in cash. It is rumored that the company is very tight now. It costs nearly 4 million yuan to bid for the dinner. Did you pay for it yourself or take the company account?”

“Mr. Wu…”

The reporters surrounded Wu Changjiang, but Wu Changjiang had a mysterious smile on his face. He lifted his hand away from the crowd, paced up the steps, and gently buckled the door knocker.

Soon, Wu Changjiang was invited into the courtyard, while reporters stood outside waiting. In the end, the community police arrived and cooperated with the traffic police to blast away all the cars. Only a few media reporters who were more entertaining were still there.

As soon as Wu Changjiang arrived in the courtyard, he asked a scent, and praised him loudly: “Hey, Mr. Song is too polite, and he specially prepared Shancheng hot pot for me.”

“Sit down.” Song Weiyang was adjusting his dip without even lifting his eyelids.

Wu Changjiang, who wanted to shake hands and greet him, could only put down the hand he had just raised, and sat down opposite Song Weiyang swaggeringly. Then he poured the sesame oil into the dish swiftly, and said, “Oh, it’s still a mandarin duck pot.”

Song Weiyang finally adjusted the dipping ingredients, put the duck intestines into the red pot to rinse, and looked up: “Are you really here to discuss “Mao Xuan” with me?”

“Is there any other reason? If I ask you to invest, I won’t be able to exchange it with the next meal,” Wu Changjiang saw the richest man still calmly, his tone full of confidence. He was too lazy to use a bottle opener, directly bit open the bottle cap of Shancheng Beer, and said with a smile, “Shancheng boy, never loose your belt, I really came to brag with you today. Business matters, myself It can be handled. I have achieved the No. 1 domestic brand in the lighting industry in China, and I will definitely be able to overthrow the foreign brand in the future and become the true No. 1 in China!”

“Ambitious,” Song Weiyang smiled and toasted, “Come on, let’s go one first.”

“Good to say,” Wu Changjiang drank from his neck, then turned the cup upside down, “I’m doing it, you are free.”

Song Weiyang was really casual, only taking a sip of white wine.

Wu Changjiang chewed the hot vaccinal peel, tilted his legs sideways and said, “There are not many people I admire in my life, but you must be one Mr. Song. Before Shancheng was directly under the jurisdiction, we were still fellows in the same province, and we should be the same year. I started my business. I don’t admire your business acumen. What do I admire? I admire you for being a man and dare to stand up and fight a tough fight with foreign brands. I am also fighting a tough fight with foreign brands!”

Song Weiyang smiled slightly and declined to comment.

Wu Changjiang was a little anxious, and quickly explained: “Mr. Song, it seems that you still have a misunderstanding with me. The two founding shareholders of NVC Lighting were not forced to leave by me. They are purely due to conflicts in business philosophy. And it’s easy to get together and get away. Both of them are my high school classmates, and they are still good friends even after they withdrew from the stock exchange.”

China’s lighting market was previously monopolized by foreign brands. Wu Changjiang was the first to raise the anti-flag, and within a few years, NVC Lighting became the first in China.

But not long ago, Wu Changjiang was forced away by two other partners. He promised to leave with 80 million in cash, but turned around to convene a national dealer meeting to learn from King Qin, and abruptly drove away the other two shareholders. This matter was a big mess, at least in the Chinese business community, because it was hard for the CEOs of major companies to imagine that the two founding shareholders who held 66.6% of the shares together were forced to withdraw their shares by the dealers rushing into the headquarters.

It’s almost a rebellion!

“I don’t care about your company’s internal affairs.” Song Weiyang said.

Wu Changjiang insisted on explaining clearly. He poured another glass of beer: “The three founders of NVC Lighting, we are all high school classmates. I initiated the establishment of the company, and I invested the most and contributed the most, so I alone accounted for it. 45% of the shares. I admit that they also contribute to the company, but they are no longer able to keep up with the company’s development. They are all state-owned enterprises, and they are striving for stability in everything, and they are completely unable to understand my strategic thinking. The more this contradiction is When the trouble got bigger, he finally started to grab the power. He, a vice president in charge of marketing, actually intervened in my management affairs, which completely broke the rules set when I started my business!”

“Hmm.” Song Weiyang continued to scald Huieryu.

Wu Changjiang got more excited as he talked, and he took a sip of beer: “What was the end of the trouble? Monthly dividends! Have you ever seen a big company that pays monthly dividends? It’s a joke, they are clearly ready to leave the group at any time. I can bear all these. According to their wishes, I didn’t want to bring the company down. But as a result, they were upset when they paid dividends because I got more. Isn’t that nonsense? I hold 45% of the shares, and of course I get more. Do you know how I did it?”

Song Weiyang said, “You said.”

Wu Changjiang smiled bitterly: “I took the initiative to give up the shares for the unity of the company, unconditionally. I accounted for 33.4%, and each of them accounted for 33.3%. Now the dividends will be the same. But they are still not satisfied. I was forced to leave. My own company, why let me go? I made a few calls and responded to each other, and the dealers all over the country immediately met with Qinwang. The dealers are on my side, which proves that I am right and the truth is standing. My side!”

At that time, more than 200 suppliers and distributors across the country, as well as most of the middle and high-level companies, were crowded in the large conference hall of NVC headquarters. The black people in the room are full of people’s heads. The two shareholders are surrounded and forced to sign an alliance with the city to withdraw their shares. It means that they will be killed if they don’t sign the withdrawal form.

For a businessman, the scene was too horrible, and too unbelievable.

Of course, it also proves that Wu Changjiang is very capable. He is not in charge of marketing and sales. He only manages the company as the general manager. It is understandable that he can win over the suppliers and the middle and senior management of the company, but it seems outrageous to bring the dealers over.

Song Weiyang said: “I don’t comment on right or wrong, but the method of convening dealers to the headquarters to force the palace has extremely bad negative effects.”

“Then you say what other options do I have?” Wu Changjiang spread his hands together.

Wu Changjiang was from a mountain city, so Song Weiyang still knew something in another time and space.

After this person forced the two partners away, because the partners took away 80 million yuan each, the company was in financial difficulties. He went to look for Lenovo Liu’s investment, but Liu didn’t like NVC Lighting. He only introduced a friend and borrowed US$2 million. The US$2 million was later converted into debt.

At the same time, Mr. Liu didn’t reject the investment issue all at once, dragging Wu Changjiang’s eyebrows into flames. His company’s funds are almost bottoming out, and because of the dealer’s forced palace incident, countless venture capital institutions have been scared off. Finally, a rich woman took the opportunity to hold down the price, and only invested more than 4 million US dollars to obtain 20% of the shares.

Fortunately, this rich lady worked authentically and built a bridge for Wu Changjiang, and attracted a $22 million investment from Softbank SAIF.

Wu Changjiang is a person with a strong desire for control and feels that his shareholding is very dangerous, so he finds Goldman Sachs for financing, and wants to use Goldman Sachs to dilute the equity of Softbank SAIF. As a result, the helm of Softbank Saifu has a stronger desire to control. This guy basically eats alone when making investments, and rarely plays with other institutions. The financing request that year directly scared away Dongge who was extremely short of money.

Seeing that Goldman Sachs came to disrupt the situation, Softbank SAIF immediately invested another 10 million US dollars, which instead diluted Wu Changjiang’s equity, and Wu Changjiang became the company’s second largest shareholder.

In order to check and balance Softbank SAIF, Wu Changjiang found Schneider of France for financing, which is tantamount to attracting another hungry wolf.

Schneider unexpectedly joined forces with SoftBank SAIF to force Wu Changjiang to resign from all positions. The helm of SoftBank SAIF himself served as chairman, and Schneider sent someone over to serve as CEO. Since then, the largest local lighting brand in China, parents have become foreign devils.

A year later, Wu Changjiang repeated the old tricks, uniting many middle and high-level companies, distributors and suppliers to force the palace and regain power.

Three years later, Wu Changjiang was taken to court by shareholders. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for misappropriating funds and embezzlement of his position, and decided to execute it for 14 years. Two years later, due to unclear facts and insufficient evidence, the final verdict rejected the result of the first instance verdict. This happened when Song Weiyang traveled through it.

The hearts of the shareholders of the two oceans are really black and the methods are really cruel.

But Wu Changjiang is not a white lotus. Because he couldn’t resist the suppression of foreign shareholders, he followed Wahaha’s approach to Danone. Holding the money from NVC Lighting to engage in real estate in Shancheng, and wanted to create another world through the gray channel, the foreign shareholder seized the handle and sent it to a lawsuit.

Moreover, this guy has a strong desire for control, has a reckless way of acting, and is full of social habits, and often engages in operations that violate the company’s regulations. If it is a private company that is not listed, it’s okay to say, but he listed the company, and there are still many senior executives sent by foreign shareholders.

Of course, if you are just investing, not participating in management, and not interfering in decision-making, then Wu Changjiang is very good at talking.

And the facts have proved that although Wu Changjiang violated the company system in various ways, NVC Lighting under his management developed better. On the contrary, after being dominated by foreign shareholders, the company’s development has gone from bad to worse, and even various product quality problems have occurred.

This can’t say who is right and who is wrong, Wu Changjiang is the kind of emperor’s management. Everything is fine when he is in control. Once he dies unexpectedly one day, the entire company will collapse. Foreign shareholders are more inclined to system management. Although the ability to fight the country is insufficient, but the ability to protect the country is still there, and you can change the CEO whatever you want.

At this moment, Song Weiyang was enjoying the hot pot without mentioning any business matters. He really talked about “Selected Mao” with Wu Changjiang.

It can be seen that Wu Changjiang is indeed familiar with “Selected Works of Mao”, and all kinds of quotations open his mouth.

It wasn’t until Song Weiyang was full that Wu Changjiang finally saw it, “Mr. Song, I won’t ask you to invest. But I do have financial difficulties now. Can you lend me 30 million first, and pay you back when my capital turnover opens? NVC Lighting has always been profitable. This time, the shareholders withdrew mainly took away more than 100 million yuan. Give me three months to turn around, and I will definitely return it to you at that time!”

“I believe you have the ability to repay a company that allows shareholders to take away more than one billion cash at a time.” Song Weiyang laughed.

Wu Changjiang flattered and said: “Mr. Song really is a discerning person.”

Song Weiyang suddenly said: “But we are not relatives, why should we lend you?”

The smile on Wu Changjiang’s face remained the same, but his energy flickered: “In addition to NVC Lighting in China, in the lighting market, which brand can withstand foreign devil’s aggression? 30 million is just a trivial matter to Mr. Song, and three You can even pay off the profits by the month, and there is no loss to Mr. Song. But as long as you borrow money, you can help our local brand development in China. My person, Wu, has regarded Mr. Song as a benefactor in my life!”

Song Weiyang played with the wine glass and said, “Actually, it doesn’t matter if I borrow money or not. You photographed this dinner and accepted so many multimedia interviews. Then you will definitely become famous and your attention will rise sharply. It will be able to get financing from venture capital institutions. It is even possible to take the opportunity to go public, because NVC Lighting has been profitable for many years and has long reached the standard for a-share listing.”

“Haha, Mr. Song has seen through it,” Wu Changjiang smiled, “but I don’t want to accept financing for the time being, because the previous shareholders’ dissolution taught me a lesson. And now it’s not a good opportunity to go public. The foundation is too thin, and it’s also a circle of going public. With less than a few dollars, I want to continue to expand the scale of NVC Lighting. Of course, if Mr. Song is unwilling to borrow money, I can only take the path of financing and listing.”

In fact, when Wu Changjiang came to see Song Weiyang, he had already contacted Lenovo Manager Liu with a friend. It’s a pity that Mr. Liu can’t be seen by everyone. My friend hasn’t heard back after two months, and I don’t know if I can see him in this life.

Song Weiyang put down his chopsticks, wiped off the grease on his hands with a paper towel, and said with a smile: “This meal is very enjoyable. I can lend you 50 million.”

“Mr. Song is really bold!” Wu Changjiang slapped the table with joy.

“I lend you money. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is not about resisting the invasion of foreign brands, but your “Mao Xuan” read well, and it is quite speculative to talk about it.” Song Weiyang said.

It’s as simple as that for the rich to invest or borrow money.

Just like Song Weiyang started a business in his previous life and went to invest with his partners. Drinking with the local tyrant to death was to no avail. Just when Song Weiyang was disappointed, the local tyrant suddenly put down the cup and said, “I invested the money because this little brother made me laugh just now.” It was Song Weiyang’s partner who made the local tyrant amused. , Usually there is no formal shape, but at the critical moment, it saves the world with the power of amusing.

Wu Changjiang took a toast and drank: “Shancheng boy, don’t say much, I have done this glass of wine. No matter why Mr. Song is willing to lend me money, you are my benefactor. Great kindness does not say thank you. In the future, even if it is useful for brothers, even if the family is bankrupt, I will tie up Mr. Song!”

“Don’t be too busy to thank me for now,” Song Weiyang reminded, “When you go out of this door, don’t publicize that I borrowed money, otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my face and not acknowledging people.”

“One sentence thing. If the borrowing thing goes out, whether it’s leaked by me or not, I will cut off my hand to come to the door to apologize!” Wu Changjiang said this with a violent attitude, not like the boss of a big company at all.
