Chapter 391: Harsh Preconditions
Chapter 391 Harsh Preconditions
When Mu Shaoqing left Hu Yang's office, it was already afternoon.
For the "gold-sucking monster" of Oriental Technology, Populus euphratica is actually psychologically prepared. As one of the major shareholders, he has the responsibility to support the company's financing actions.
The two did not talk about the specific additional issuance, and Hu Yang only agreed in principle to participate in the additional issuance.
Mu Shaoqing got the verbal promise of Hu Yang, and Dongfang Technology would have further actions. For example, convening a board meeting, applying to the regulatory authorities, and holding a general meeting of shareholders after approval.
Generally speaking, it doesn't take a few months to get it done.
During this period, the epidemic situation in Guangdong Province, Xiangjiang and other areas was completely controlled. According to official statistics, there have been no new cases in the country for 14 consecutive days.
"Yang Yang, we have booked a ticket to return to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow. ”
Hu Yue has been in Xijiang for so long, and he has already returned to his heart. And Hu Yang's parents also wanted to go back to the south, so they booked a plane ticket after discussing it.
"Okay, you send me the flight number when you go back, and I'll pick you up. ”
If Hu Yue had discussed with Hu Yang in advance, Hu Yang would definitely send a business jet to pick them up. But now that the flight has been booked, Hu Yang didn't mention it, only said that he would pick up the plane.
But before that, he needs to deal with the second round of financing of Ark Computer.
"Mr. Wang, are you in the deep sea? So, in an hour, we will meet at the Ark computer, and I want to go to their company to have a look. ”
Hu Yang thought about it, but decided to support the Ark computer.
"Okay, Mr. Hu, I'll be there on time. ”
Wang Qingquan received a call from Hu Yang, estimated that the second round of financing of Ark Computer had a drama, and rushed over by car without saying a word.
Hu Yang took Lin Yan, Li Jie and others, and then left the investment building.
As soon as the two cars came out of the underground garage, Hu Yang received a call from Chen Hao.
"Mr. Chen, we haven't been in touch for a while, how are you lately?"
For Chen Jialin's father, Chen Hao, Hu Yang's impression has also changed. But because of the generational separation, the two rarely contact each other.
"Mr. Hu, thanks to you, I can eat and sleep, okay. I don't know where you are now? I have something to talk to you about. ”
"Well, that's not a coincidence, I'm on my way to the Ark computer right now. Why don't we make a new appointment?"
Hu Yang was a little embarrassed, he had already agreed with Wang Qingquan, and changing his mind now was tantamount to putting Wang Qingquan and Chang Sheng aside.
"You see, I came to you just to talk about the Ark. Otherwise, we'll meet downstairs in the Ark computer in a while, and we won't have to wait long. ”
Chen Hao laughed, feeling that this matter today was not a coincidence, it was simply too coincidental.
Forty minutes later, Hu Yang and Chen Hao's car arrived at the parking lot downstairs of the Ark computer.
Chen Hao got out of the car, smiled and waved, and then got into Hu Yang's car.
"Mr. Hu, let me say a few words. I heard that you have a stake in Ark Computer, and the other party is preparing for a second round of financing, right?"
"Mr. Chen, your news is really well-informed, there is such a thing. ”
Hu Yang didn't have to guess to know that the news must have been told to Chen Hao by Chen Jialin. Anyway, this matter is not a secret, so Hu Yang generously admitted it.
"I think that Charm Electronics should take a stake in Ark Computer, which is good for the development of the company. Ark Computer, from the day it was born, has established the policy of low-price, cost-effective development, which may be difficult to change.
If Charm Electronics participates in Ark Computer, it can cooperate in mid-to-high-end notebook computers, as well as Charm Electronics' newly proposed tablet computers. ”
Chen Hao's meaning is very clear, he believes that it is necessary to integrate the resources of Charm Electronics and Ark Computer. Ark Computer can take advantage of the mature sales channels and strong R&D capabilities of Charm Electronics, while Charm Electronics can make up for the shortcomings of notebook-related technologies.
"I understand what Mr. Chen meant, and the 300 million yuan fund of Charm Electronics can also be taken out. However, in this way, the precondition is to ask the ark to disclose the relevant technology of the laptop to Charm Technology, and I don't know if Mr. Chang will agree. Otherwise, Mr. Chen, let's go up and talk to Mr. Chang first to see what his opinion is. ”
Technology is at the heart of every high-tech business, and Populus Hu's concerns are justified.
"How do you know if you don't try? Let's go, I'll meet with you. ”
Chen Hao smiled dumbly, now is the time when Ark Computer is short of funds, and it is the best time to negotiate conditions with the other party at this time.
Besides, the cooperation between the two sides also involves many aspects, and on the whole, Charm Electronics does not necessarily take advantage of the Ark Computer.
Hu Yang and Chen Hao got out of the car and walked into the building.
This is a relatively ordinary office building, next to the science and technology park. The office area of Ark Computer is in this building, and the production plant is in the science and technology park.
"Mr. Hu, this way. ”
Wang Qingquan had been sitting in the lobby for a while, and when he saw Hu Yang and his party walking in, he quickly got up and waved his hand.
Hu Yang and Chen Hao walked over and followed Wang Qingquan to the elevator.
"Mr. Hu, I'm still bothering you to take a trip, if there is anything, you can make a call, I should visit you. What is this called? I am the chairman of Ark Computer, Chang Sheng. ”
Chang Sheng warmly received Hu Yang and his party, and then Hu Yang introduced both parties.
"Mr. Chang, let's go to the production workshop first, and then talk in detail when we come back. ”
Populus euphratica still wants to take a look everywhere and add some intuitive understanding.
Chen Hao felt that Hu Yang was doing this too much at this time, what was there to look at in the production workshop, and it would be over if he looked at his products? However, he did not raise any objections, and also went around together.
Back at the company, Chang Sheng welcomed everyone into the conference room.
"Mr. Chang, please give me all due diligence, the company's assembly plant is a little simpler. I know that you have signed an OEM agreement with Bothstone Technology and it is a very good idea to hand over the production to a professional company.
I came with Mr. Hu today to talk to you about the second round of financing. ”
Chen Hao is an expert in the field of production, and under his leadership, Shengyi Electronics has always been one of the top 100 enterprises in the domestic electronic information industry.
He then negotiated with Chang Sheng about the conditions of the second round of financing in the name of the major shareholder of Charismatic Electronics.
In the area of valuation, Chen Hao did not dwell too much, and he also recognized the special status enjoyed by the entrepreneurial team in the company.
However, Chen Hao put forward two conditions. The first is to participate in the operation and management of the enterprise, and the second is to share all computer-related technologies with Charm Technology.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Chen, this condition makes me very difficult. Well, please give me twenty minutes, and I'll talk to someone and give you a definite answer. ”
Chang Sheng glanced at Wang Qingquan, who was sitting silently on the side, and found that the other party was also confused, obviously he didn't know these conditions in advance.
"Always feel free, we'll just sit here and wait. ”
Chen Hao smiled slightly, let him be the villain today.
Chang Sheng walked out of the conference room, the staff brought fruit and tea, and Hu Yang, Chen Hao and Wang Qingquan sat without moving.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. ”
Chang Sheng went out to discuss with his henchmen, and walked back in less than twenty minutes.
The situation of Ark Computer is different from that of many start-ups, although Chang Sheng also has an entrepreneurial team, but the original investment was basically made by him alone. Before the first round of financing, Changsheng alone occupied 83.76% of the company's equity.
So in a sense, Chang Sheng alone can represent the entire entrepreneurial team.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Chen, I thought about it and can agree to the preconditions for financing. However, I also have one condition, the technology related to charm electronics and computers must also be shared with our Ark. ”
Regardless of whether Chen Hao's previous technology sharing refers to one-sided or two-way, Chang Sheng feels that this issue should be clarified.
As for the other issues, they are all secondary.
Chen Hao looked at Hu Yang, Hu Yang felt that this condition was very fair, so he said: "Mr. Chang, I can also promise you this." ”
The second round of financing is 300 million, but it is easy for Charm Electronics to come out.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Chen, thank you for giving Fang Ark this opportunity. I hope you all have a happy cooperation!"
Chang Sheng reached a verbal agreement with Hu Yang and Chen Hao, and he couldn't wait to open champagne to celebrate.
"Happy cooperation!Mr. Chang, then we will go, and tomorrow Charm Electronics will send someone to discuss the specific details with you." ”
Hu Yang immediately got up to say goodbye and walked out with Chen Hao and the others.
"Mr. Hu, let's find a place to sit?"
Chang Sheng kept sending the guests downstairs, and Hu Yang, Chen Hao and others came to the parking lot.
"Another day, we have to inform the other shareholders of the company when we go back, let's make a quick decision and have a conference call." ”
Meisha Electronics is a wholly-owned company of Charisma Technology Group, and its shareholders include Huyang's Huijia International Investment and Chen Hao's Shengyi Electronics, as well as Rock Technology and Mingkang Communications.
Gao Mingkang is currently in Africa, Lu Yali is in France, and Chen Jialin has been busy lately. Hu Yang is not going to hold a board meeting either, so he will call them first and say that he will make up the board minutes later.
Following.
Charm Electronics sent personnel to negotiate specific terms with Ark Computer, and the contract text was formed in the afternoon.
When signing the contract, Hu Yang did not come forward, and it was Yan Hanzhang who signed on behalf of Charm Electronics.
Hu Yang went straight to Yangcheng that night, and at noon the next day, he picked up Li Guixiang, Hu Zhiguang, Hu Yue and his little niece Xiaoxi at the airport.
"Yang Yang, Xiaoxi and I will go home directly, and my parents will go back with you. ”
Hu Yue didn't plan to live in Hu Yang's villa when he came back this time, and now that Xiaoxi is getting older, hiring a nanny at home can completely handle it, and there is no need to let his father and mother suffer anymore.
