Chapter 398: The Generous Chen Ping
Hearing Chen Ping say this, Li Changhong gradually fell silent, and after a long time, Li Changhong took a deep look at Chen Ping, and then suddenly laughed, nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Chen has already said this, if I don't help, it will seem a little unkind." ”
"However, I still hope that even if Mr. Chen eventually quits Baidu and is no longer one of the shareholders of Baidu, the friendship between us can last for a long time. ”
"If Baidu encounters any trouble in the future, I hope that Mr. Li can help, or when there is a good opportunity, we can reach more cooperation. ”
Hearing Li Changhong say this, Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then nodded lightly without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li rest assured, to be honest, Baidu's help to me is not less, to put it mildly, if it weren't for Baidu's stock to make me earn a lot of money, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come to this point today." ”
"So Baidu is a benefactor to me, and if there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, I will naturally not avoid Baidu. ”
Li Changhong smiled faintly, and then nodded slightly, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
In fact, Li Changhong and Chen Ping are both very clear that what Chen Ping said is just a polite remark, if there is really a chance to cooperate in the future, Chen Ping still needs to consider from the perspective of interests, whether the two sides have the opportunity to cooperate, it is really a little difficult to say.
At this moment, although Li Changhong still had some doubts in his heart, he had no intention of continuing to get to the bottom of it.
He could tell. Chen Ping's words are not too false, as the chairman of Baidu, Li Changhong's news is extremely well-informed, as long as he wants, he can easily know what is happening within the Pingyu Group.
After all, the current Pingyu Group has just been established, and most of the employees at the headquarters of Pingyu Group have just been recruited into the Pingyu Group, which is also under the assistance of Fengxiang Headhunting Company to establish a complete personnel system.
These employees who have just joined Pingyuan Group do not have a strong sense of belonging to Pingyu Group, after all, they have joined Pingyu Group for less than a month.
Therefore, it is extremely simple to know the actions within the Pingyu Group.
When Li Changhong heard that Chen Ping wanted to sell Baidu's shares, he had already secretly inquired about the internal situation of Pingyu Group.
Therefore, Li Changhong is also very clear that the current Pingyu Group is in a period of rapid development, and there are vital projects in progress within the Pingyu Group and even among the major subsidiaries of the Pingyu Group, and the financial support required for these projects is also an extremely terrifying number.
Although Li Changhong does not have a deep understanding of these projects, Li Changhong can probably judge that the projects that Pingyuan Group is currently working on require at least 500 million yuan.
And the real liquidity of Pingyu Group will not exceed 300 million when it is fully calculated.
This also means that Pingyu Group is now facing a financial problem, although such a financial problem will only delay the development progress of these projects being carried out by Pingyu Group, and will not really affect the survival of Pingyuan Group, but as the chairman of Pingyu Group, Chen Ping must take into account the development of Pingyuan Group.
As a businessman, you don't want such financial problems to slow down the group's development, because once the pace of development slows down, it is likely to miss the opportunity.
The phrase "the speed of the soldiers" is extremely applicable in the business world.
So after Chen Ping explained, Li Changhong also believed Chen Ping's words.
He knew very well what Chen Ping meant, and the funds that Pingyu Group was currently lacking were likely to fall on Baidu's shares.
This is also the only way for Chen Ping to think of Li Changhong.
It is precisely because of this that Li Changhong did not continue to ask.
After muttering for a while, Li Changhong also said softly: " In this case, I will help Mr. Chen with this, so let's do it, in the next few days, I will send Baidu's legal department to contact Mr. Chen to recover the shares in Mr. Chen's hands, but I also hope that Mr. Chen can understand, Mr. Chen is so eager to transfer the shares of Baidu in his hands, and it is such an internal transfer, for our Baidu company, it also has a certain adverse impact, and it is even likely to bring certain fluctuations to Baidu's shares. ”
"Therefore, the acquisition of this stock is likely to be lower than the market price, and I hope Mr. Chen will not blame me. ”
Chen Ping also smiled faintly, he had already expected Li Changhong to say such a thing.
However, Chen Ping didn't care too much, just asked with a calm smile: "Mr. Li, can I ask how much the final purchase price of the stock will be?"
Li Changhong groaned carefully.
At present, Chen Ping's hands in the hands of Baidu shares, in fact, have been in the hands of the investment department of Pingyu Group, speaking of which, the investment department of Pingyu Group, although not too conspicuous, or even just established, but in fact, the strength of the investment department of Pingyu Group can not be underestimated.
At present, the flow of funds within Pingyu Group has not been known to the outside world, after all, the 250 million funds have only just been transferred to the account of the investment department of Pingyu Group this morning, but the investment department of Pingyu Group has been a behemoth before this.
Although there are only a dozen employees inside, the investment department of Pingyu Group controls a portion of Baidu's shares.
This part of the stock has even reached 1% of Baidu's shares.
You must know that the current Baidu company has gone through the development of the past few months, and the stock has risen all the way after the listing, and the market value of the entire Baidu company has already reached tens of billions.
Even if it is just 1% of the stock, the market value is as high as nearly 300 million.
In the entire Baidu company, although it is not too eye-catching, but for Pingyu Group, it is indeed extremely terrifying.
You must know that even Li Changhong, chairman of Baidu, directly controls less than 20% of Baidu's shares.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Changhong looked at Chen Ping in front of him with an apologetic face, and said softly: "Mr. Chen, you also know that although this time is only an internal transfer of shares, but for Baidu, once such news spreads, the outside world is likely to raise a lot of unfavorable conjectures about Baidu, which will also have a huge impact on Baidu's stock price, and even cause Baidu's stock to fall for a period of time." ”
"So this time, to buy the shares of Baidu in Mr. Chen's hands, I'm afraid we can only take out 270 million. ”
Hearing Li Changhong's words, Chen Ping also fell into deep thought.
You must know that the stock of Baidu in Chen Ping's hand is worth as much as 300 million, and Li Changhong directly lowered the price by nearly 10%, but at this moment, Chen Ping did not have too many unhappy looks on his face, but after a moment of silence, Chen Ping suddenly asked Mr. Li softly: "If you look at the fastest speed, how long will it take to complete this equity transfer?"
Li Changhong smiled faintly, and then said softly: "It won't take long, at most it's just a week, and the money will be transferred to the account of Pingyu Group." ”
Hearing Li Changhong's words, Chen Ping suddenly shook his head slightly, and then looked at Li Changhong in front of him with a solemn gaze, and said in a deep voice: "One day, two days at most, within two days, this money must be transferred to the account of Pingyu Group!"
Chen Ping's words immediately made Li Changhong flurry.
Two days is enough time for both parties to sign an equity transfer agreement, after all, there is a model contract for similar equity transfer, and the two parties do not have too many additional requirements, as long as the quantity and price of equity transfer are negotiated.
However, two days is too short, even for Baidu, it is not easy to mobilize 270 million funds to the account of Pingyu Group in just two days.
It is precisely because of this that Li Changhong suddenly frowned slightly, and just wanted to say something, but saw Chen Ping in front of him suddenly chuckle and waved his hand, and then said softly without care: "Mr. Li, I also know that such a request is difficult for some strong people, but I can lower the price to 250 million, and in two days, the price will be reduced by as much as 20 million, which must be undesirable for Mr. Li, right?"
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Li Changhong's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and after taking a deep look at Chen Ping, he nodded lightly and said with a smile almost without hesitation: "Mr. Chen is really magnificent, since this is the case, then it is decided, within two days, the 250 million funds will be transferred to the account of Pingyu Group." ”
"But I still say the same thing, even if Mr. Chen sells all the shares of Baidu and is no longer a shareholder of Baidu, I hope that we can still be friends. ”
When Chen Ping heard Li Changhong's words, he hurriedly opened his mouth and smiled, and then arched his hand slightly, with a bit of joke, and said softly: "Mr. Li is really polite, for me, Mr. Li is a senior, and I dare not be a friend, maybe Mr. Li can become my teacher, maybe I can learn a lot from Mr. Li." ”
Hearing Chen Ping's polite words, Li Changhong didn't care about it, and didn't take it to heart at all.
Although the two parties have discussed the equity transfer this time, Li Changhong did not bring the equity transfer agreement.
However, this matter is also extremely urgent for Li Changhong.
You must know that Li Changhong, as the chairman of Baidu, has a lot of room for maneuver in this matter.
After all, although this equity acquisition was not carried out in the name of Li Changhong personally, but in the entire board of directors of Baidu, Li Changhong saw an opportunity in the process of discussing with Chen Ping.
You must know that although Li Changhong is the chairman of Baidu, the shares in his hands are less than 1/5 of the shares of the entire Baidu company.
Although no one else can surpass the shares in Li Changhong's hands, for Li Changhong, the more shares he can control, the better.
If it was before that, the price of 270 million would also have a huge pressure on Li Changhong, and even Li Changhong himself would not be able to take out so much cash.
However, if it is 250 million, Li Changhong sees hope.
This is also the reason why Li Changhong finally agreed to Chen Ping's two-day request so happily.
Because if it is 270 million, then if Li Changhong wants to win this part of the equity, he must go through Baidu's board of directors and be jointly funded by many shareholders of the board of directors to win this part of the shares.
