Chapter 27 Shareholders' Meeting of Fruit Company

Today is the first time that Lu Zheng has been invited to participate in the board of directors after obtaining a 30% stake in Fruit High-tech Company.

The meeting was notified at 10:00 a.m., and Lu Zheng arrived at the company's headquarters in Silicon Valley on time at 9:50 a.m.

Today is also the second working day of the fruit's request for a stock market suspension due to a major change in equity.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh that large companies are arrogant, and they also have a special board meeting room. It seems that it is necessary to set up such a high-grade conference room after becoming bigger and stronger in the future.

There are less than twenty seats in the boardroom, and it seems that the huge fruit company is controlled by these sixteen people.

Each seat has a corresponding nameplate, and Lu Zheng finds the seat corresponding to the nameplate with his name and sits down.

As soon as he sat down, a service staff came over to ask Lu Zheng whether he was going to drink black tea or coffee.

It's so humane, black tea strengthens the stomach and consumes food, of course black tea.

Although it is said that children only do multiple-choice questions, adults want to do them all.

But Lu Zheng still rationally only asked for black tea.

Coffee stuff, drink it every day, and I'm tired of it. It seems that I also need to prepare green tea and black tea in my office.

Of course, Lu Zheng doesn't like to drink in the office, although he also prepared red and white wine, champagne, etc., but he never moved.

Today's meeting was chaired by the current CEO, Mr. Louis John.

Louis John said in a low voice: "In 1980~1990, during the past ten years, our company's market share gradually fell from 20% to 5%, which was due to the fact that the previous CEO cut off the sales of low-end and low-profit products during his tenure, resulting in the company's current product prices getting higher and higher. These prices generally exceed the psychological expectations of the middle class, making them daunted by the price of our products. Especially in recent years, our products have been gradually replaced by the word "luxury". As a result, poor sales performance is normal.

The focus of today's topic is that we have to regain the low-to-mid-range products that the company has lost in recent years, and we must target the vast number of middle-level consumer groups and even the general public. ”

Lu Zheng couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a range, and it only took a second to return to his original cold appearance. It's just a broken computer, and now you don't take the opportunity to occupy the market, and the difficulty will be until the general public gets used to other brands in the future.

Louis was also watching the reactions of shareholders and managers while talking, and when he saw Lu Zheng's nodding and expression, he didn't know why, and he instantly felt bottomed out in his heart.

Louis didn't know if this was the legendary fate, or if it was the majority shareholder who had affirmed his work when he met for the first time since he was in danger.

He steadied himself, coughed, and continued: "Next, we will continue to strengthen the cooperation with Teyinger and ADM. Although we are also developing chips ourselves, this speed is too slow after all.

Therefore, I plan to gradually increase the research and development of chips and intelligent operating systems from this year onwards. It is necessary to report to the directors that since we want to increase R&D efforts, R&D funds must also be increased year by year.

Only by constantly innovating can we occupy the market better and faster. Of course, we must not forget to increase the promotion of ordinary computers.

So my next job is to make our brand's computers change from luxury goods back to the consumption list of the general public and the middle class.

From next month, I decided to re-launch five models of low, medium and high three different levels and different configurations, a total of 15 models to meet the purchase desire of consumers. Immediately after the meeting, we will expand the signing of contracts for the assembly plant and the foundry, and we hope that all shareholders will be aware of this matter. ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up and made a symbolic bow to all shareholders to show his determination to put the company's liver and brain on the ground.

Next, Niac, one of the founders of the company, continued: "CEO Mr. Louis has said so much just now, so I propose that this year, regardless of the next profit of our company, all shareholders present here will not pay dividends this year, except for the necessary dividends in the stock market. This helps us to concentrate on the layout of the work that we urgently need to complete...... Finally, I would like to add that in addition to launching models of different levels and grades, we can also launch shells in different colors......"

The meeting lasted for nearly an hour, and the directors and management expressed their opinions, either in favor of trusting the CEO, or in a different way.

Lu Zheng sat there with only ears and no mouth throughout the whole process, sitting there as a beautiful man quietly drinking tea.

His style made other shareholders and management confused what he really thought.

The only thing that is certain is that the major shareholder is not exclusive to the arrangement and arrangement of the new CEO.

The reason why Lu Zheng is like this is to let the southeast and northwest wind blow and insist that Qingshan will not relax.

No matter how you toss, anyway, the contract is signed that I will not participate in the operation, but when I think that the company's operation has seriously deviated from the market track, I will put forward my opinion, if you don't listen, I can sell my shares at any time.

Lu Zheng doesn't care about whether this year's dividends will be paid or not, anyway, there is no shortage of money to spend for the time being. To be precise, it's too bad, and that little dividend is really not enough, someone on my way will put it in my eyes?

Lu Zheng is most interested in using his patent rights at a very small price, which is the only reason why he buys the equity of the fruit company.

When the contract was signed, Lu Zheng asked Thompson to add one more clause: on the days when Luyin Building held shares, after paying 50% of the value of the patent right, he could obtain the permanent right to use the patent.

When Lu Zheng did this, he thought: Now he really doesn't plan to engage in branded computers, what if he wants to engage in operating systems in the future?

Although I haven't figured out whether to engage in an operating system or not, it's always right to leave a way for myself.

Or what should I do if I can't get around its patents when I work on a certain technology in the future?

For example, the operating system that the fruit company has put a lot of effort to build can be obtained for free for 50% of the patent fee in the future, isn't that fragrant?

If they deliberately set up a set, they can also find a third-party appraisal agency for valuation. Didn't you also invite a third-party valuation when you bought the shares?

If you don't add that, let yourself buy it at a high price in the future, is it silly?

The ancestors of the Chinese nation used their 5,000 years of wisdom to tell us that sometimes a move can always play a vital role at a critical time.
