Chapter 627: Exchange of Interests
Thankfully, Jerome's next words made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's related to computer companies," Jerome said. Our computer company, including most of the spare parts factories, is located in the industrial area of Hamburg, Germany, and since the end of last year, the cumulative sales of the three brands of computers have exceeded 6 million units, with sales of more than 6.8 billion US dollars, which is still subject to production capacity, otherwise this number can be doubled, but nevertheless, it is expected that by the end of this year, the sales of 10 million units should be no problem, this kind of development speed, not to mention in Europe, even in the history of enterprise development around the world is very rare. ”
Chen Dahe frowned and looked at him inquiringly, "You mean, because the computer company is developing too well, it has aroused the interest of some people?"
"Not only that," Jerome shook his head slightly, "Europe has a mature economic system and rules of the game, even if it is a strong old aristocrat, it cannot meddle in emerging companies at will, but this does not mean that emerging companies can develop freely, when any emerging company reaches a certain level, it must open its own equity, on the one hand, it is subject to social supervision, and more importantly, the interests are evenly distributed!" Our computer company, despite its young age, has already surpassed this standard in terms of size, so this morning I received a notice from the Hamburg administration asking for a proposal for equity reform. ”
This is very understandable, the old forces will not be indifferent to a hen that can lay golden eggs, at the same time, especially for this kind of high-tech enterprises related to information security, it is necessary to accept the government supervision of the country where it is located, not only in this era, but also in future generations, the vast majority of emerging companies will accept investment shareholders with various backgrounds, otherwise they will fall into a bottleneck of development, and can rely on their own strength to break free from this bottleneck, there are only a handful, and this kind of company, there must be a deeper level of some kind of openness, in contrast, equity is not the most important factor, in the face of this choice, Chen Dahe would rather open equity。
It is only in the early stage of domestic economic development, the lack of real predators, that there will be the kind of large group companies that have developed rapidly after their establishment and have a high concentration of equity, and after this stage, they should stop thinking about such beautiful things, and think about those technology giant companies after the new century, which is not a group of investment companies behind them, and those who eat alone have long died on the beach.
It's not unacceptable to open up the equity of computer companies, but Chen Dahe didn't think of this at this time, the look on his face became solemn again, and he looked at Jerome with a light forehead, "If, as you said, all emerging companies need to open equity, then in the near future, the Third International Bank will also face the same problem?"
If the computer company is only a tool for making money, then the Third International Bank is the foundation of his business in Europe, and if even this company is open to those people, then what secret is there about his layout in Europe! In this case, he must be prepared in advance.
"This," Jerome looked a little uncertain, but finally shook his head slightly, "probably not, because this belongs to the financial industry, and besides, this is Switzerland!"
This is Switzerland, where the Secrecy Act was born!
The financial industry is the pillar industry of Switzerland, and the secrecy bill is the cornerstone of the development of the Swiss financial industry, if Switzerland also wants to pressure its own banks to open equity to accept supervision, I am afraid that there should be many banks that want to relocate their headquarters, even from a security point of view, the Swiss Central Bank only needs to monitor the flow of funds, as for what the bank is engaged in, whether to make more or less, they really don't need to care too much.
From this point of view, it is very unlikely that the Third International Bank will face the same problem.
Thinking about this, Chen Dahe put down the boulder in his heart, and then tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa, thought about it with a low brow, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "If you don't accept it, what will happen?"
"Suppression!" Jerome said without hesitation, "even if the computer companies can bring huge tax revenues and a large number of jobs to the local area, they can only keep the Hamburg government neutral, and they will never and cannot prevent the suppression from other forces, not to mention that within the scope of the European Community, the Federal Republic of Germany has far less power to speak than Britain and France, and within the scope of the Federal Republic of Germany alone, there are many forces that are very interested in computer companies." ”
At this time, the two Germanys were not reunified, and in terms of economic strength, resources, and markets, West Germany was indeed inferior to Britain and France, two old powers.
Chen Dahe nodded silently, he didn't ask about the company's relocation and other such retarded words, the computer market is the whole of Europe, not a certain country, even if the company is moved to Switzerland, it will still come.
"Sir," Jerome smiled lightly and shrugged, "Perhaps, you may be a little misunderstood, they are not asking for the opening of equity, not to rob our interests, but to follow the local regulations and the rules of the game of the upper class, which is an exchange of interests, so I don't think you need to exclude!"
Chen Dahe patted his head, by the way, it was an exchange of interests, not a robbery, it was his own drilling.
"Actually, it's the same as our banking business," Jerome continued. Although the sales of computer companies can be close to 7 billion US dollars, but can go through our banking system, less than one-third, the rest of the funds can only go through the accounting system of other banks, on the one hand, it is determined by the opening bank of our partner, on the other hand, it is also to get the permission and even support of these banks, otherwise, our bank reserves are useless, unless they are in close blood, pay more than ten times or even dozens of times the price, otherwise don't imagine that now so smoothly open up so many urban markets, this is also a kind of exchange of interests!”
"You're right," Chen Dahe stood up and smiled, drank all the red wine in his hand, walked to the wine cabinet again, and said at the same time, "At a time when the bank has no more investment business to develop, it is harmful to absorb too much savings, and it is a long-term plan to allocate a part of it in exchange for the support of peers, then,"
Chen Dahe looked back at him, "Go back and discuss with them, take out no more than 30% of the shares for financing, and in addition, make an employee equity incentive plan." ”
"Yes, sir," Jerome struck, "I'll take care of this as soon as I can!"
Unexpectedly, the boss was so straightforward, not only agreed to the opening of the equity, but also went one step further and prepared to grant shares to the employees.
Although he is in charge of the Third International Bank, as the main organizer and actual manager of the computer company, he will definitely have his own name in the equity incentive plan, and perhaps, he will become a multimillionaire or even a billionaire sooner than expected!
"Since you want to do it, then do it all," Chen Dahe poured a glass of wine and walked back, and said while thinking, "The bank's internal investment business is not counted, the Third Automobile Industry Group, after the product is launched, if the response is good, you can also start to consider starting to do this, external financing and internal incentives are carried out simultaneously, but,"
Chen Dahe pointed at him, "Who to give and how much to give, you have to calculate clearly, in addition, when it comes to external financing, you must not be soft!"
"Of course," Jerome laughed, "sir, I used to do this kind of thing when I was in the Public Bank, but now I just change my role, and I know their bottom line and routines very well, please rest assured, I will never let the company suffer!"
"Okay," Chen Dahe nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile, "Jerome, you have managed the bank's business very well, no matter how much the bank's profits go in the future, the original promise of your one-percent profit reward will never be less, however, I don't plan to raise the bank externally, so your option reward will not be there, but when the computer company and the automobile group carry out equity distribution, there will definitely be your share, and you will be one of the people who get the most distribution!"
"Thank you for your generosity!" Jerome raised the wine glass in his hand, the corners of his mouth were almost down to the root of his ears, just now it was just a guess, and now with the personal promise of the boss, it seems that his billionaire status is already in sight!
