Chapter 181: Wait and see
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it again and talk about it in a few days." ”
He can't decide on such a big matter for a while, and if he agrees, he has to ask the opinions of other shareholders, because Hongxin's shareholding will definitely dilute their shareholding.
Su Xu thought about it alone for a long time, and it seemed that what Su Zhirong said was also very reasonable. Until midnight, he was thinking about it over and over again.
Ye Rui asked, "What do you want if you don't sleep so late?"
Su Xu briefly told his wife about the matter, and Ye Rui smiled: "You, your brain is confused." Let's look at it from an objective point of view, if Hongxin takes a stake in thunderstorm appliances, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Of course it's a good thing!" Su Xu said, "Hongxin's capital and resources are what we need. Now thunderstorm household appliances are less than the top, and they can only fight a price war with those low-end brands, and the profits are low. ”
"If you can enter the field of high-end smart home, then there is a future. It's a pity that the capital will invest in us? ”
Ye Rui smiled: "You have already analyzed it from an objective point of view, and I will help you analyze it from a subjective point of view." ”
"You want to make a smart home, don't you?"
"Hmm. Su Xu nodded.
"Then, the other shareholders of the company feel that there is a lot of investment in R&D, and there is no obvious and visible return. So if you want to stay where you are, it's different from your business philosophy, but you can't convince them. ”
"If Hongxin takes a stake in your company, it gets the right to speak. Think about it, who made decisions in the company at that time? Lu Zixin is your son-in-law, and his business philosophy is the same as yours. At that time, the company was not up to you, and those shareholders could no longer influence you. ”
"Huh...... That makes sense!" Su Xu reacted.
"So, isn't it simple, both objective and subjective are beneficial, what do you want to do so much?
"Yes, my brain really couldn't turn just now!" Su Xu figured it out a little and said with a smile: "My wife can see it." ”
"Okay, let's sleep, I'll think about the rest tomorrow. ”
……
Su Xu agreed to Lu Zixin's proposal, and the next step was for him to convince the other shareholders of the company.
In addition to the scattered shares, there are nine other shareholders who account for more than 5% of the shares. These 11 people are all company management, of which three people account for more than 10 percent, that is, Su Xu, who accounts for 12.3 percent of the shares, and Cai Yun, another vice president of the company, who accounts for 14.5 percent of the shares.
The largest shareholder remains, Nie Guanglin, the current CEO of Leiyu Appliances, accounting for 18% of the shares.
Basically, as long as the three of them, or the majority of the nine, agree on a decision, then the matter is settled.
Su Xu has always been resolute in doing things, and he couldn't wait for the New Year, so he found Cai Yun and Nie Guanglin.
Nie Guanglin is in his fifties this year, ten years older than Su Xu. At the beginning, it was he, Su Xu and Cai Yun who started a business in Jiangcheng together, and then established themselves in the magic capital.
In the office, Nie Guanglin said helplessly: "Lao Su, now that the New Year is over, people are very busy. What the hell is important about you calling us here?"
Cai Yun guessed: "It's not going to be your smart speaker again, right?"
"Hey, there's no need to mention this!" Nie Guanglin said, "Everyone has discussed it in previous meetings, and this investment is not proportional to the return." The project is definitely going to be cut, and it's useless for you to tell us. ”
However, this time, Su Xu did not show the same disappointed look as before, but said: "No, the smart speaker is ready." ”
"Done?" the two wondered.
"You can come and experience it. Su Xu took the two of them to the experimental room of the smart home and let them experience the functions of the latest version of the smart speaker.
The two of them suddenly showed joy and said: "Great, our smart speaker, better than Jingdong's Dingdong speaker and Tmall Elf." ”
"This project has not been invested in vain, Lao Su, congratulations, you have successfully developed it!"
Nie Guanglin even smiled and said: "Now the company has another home appliance product, this is all your credit! When the meeting is held in the next year, I will announce this matter to the whole company!"
"It's not just our company's products. Su Xu's words made the two of them puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
"This latest smart speaker, in which the voice interaction system, is improved by Hongxin Company. And there are some important high-tech sensors, which also come from Hongxin company. The more Su Xu explained, the more confused the two became.
"Hongxin? How does this have anything to do with Hongxin? Our company doesn't cooperate with them?"
Su Xu explained briefly and said: "Hongxin Company wants to invest in us and jointly develop the field of smart home. ”
"We welcome investment, but they want to become the largest shareholder...... Nie Guanglin frowned, "Doesn't this mean that we want us to run the company for them?"
Su Xu explained: "They will not interfere in the operation of the main body for the time being. But in the direction of business, they will ask to go to the field of smart home. They have the investment and technical strength, and we don't lose money!"
Cai Yun thought for a while, nodded and said, "On the surface, it is true that he does not suffer a loss, and even takes a big advantage!"
"But I'm afraid that Hongxin's business philosophy is different from ours, and the management and operation methods are rearranged. ”
Su Xu said: "Our company has not experienced any performance growth for several years, maybe it is to change. ”
Nie Guanglin didn't express his opinion, he knew it very well in his heart. If Hongxin invests in thunderstorm appliances, the shares in the hands of each of their shareholders will become more valuable. Companies may also have better opportunities for growth.
But the most important point is that the company will be out of his control in the future and under the command of Hongxin Group. He is reluctant to take the position of CEO, although he is not the leader of any government unit, but as the top level of the company, he can also enjoy some of the pleasure brought by status.
"Lao Cai, what do you think?" Nie Guanglin asked Cai Yun.
Cai Yun is actually very happy in his heart, no matter who controls the overall situation, he will be used. And his net worth will also rise.
So Cai Yun said euphemistically: "I think I can talk to Hongxin, but the conditions must be studied again." ”
"I still have to think about it. Nie Guanglin said, "Wait until the New Year is over, and then discuss it." ”
Nie Guanglin couldn't make a decision for a while, and the other shareholders were the same. That kind of pure investor naturally hopes that Hongxin will enter the game. But if you are in the management of Thunderstorm Household Appliances, you are a little hesitant, afraid that your position will change after Hongxin enters the company, so they are all waiting and seeing, and they are also discussing with each other.
Su Xu also told Lu Zixin about this situation, and Lu Zixin smiled: "It's not simple, add fire to them, and they will be able to make a decision." ”
