Chapter 392 Board Meeting (2) (Page 1/1)

The king of high technology.

This title can be described as full of gold, but people don't feel that there is anything wrong, and Su Mu has made many people sincerely admire his brilliant achievements.

Is Su Mu short of investment? A person who can shout that he will use $10 billion to support his company's stock will not be so short of money that he will not be able to spend $4 or 500 million to invest in a mobile phone factory.

It suddenly occurred to the directors on site that Su Mu was willing to cooperate in the development of the technology patents and talents owned by Penguin Computer Company.

A director suddenly asked, "What patents does our company have that deserve his attention? I can understand that we need talents to help develop them, but our company's production of computers seems to have nothing to do with the mobile phone business, right?"

This question stumped everyone, they couldn't understand Su Mu's thoughts, and they couldn't guess what he was trying to do.

But one thing is for sure, he won't be downtrodden to cheat the company out of a mere $200 million, even if the price of his yacht is far more than that.

Looking at each other, their opinions began to unify, and the focus of the argument gradually shifted from whether to invest or not, to how much money should be invested, some people said that 200 million was too much, some people said that 100 million was too little, and those shareholders who were willing to believe in Su Mu were simply angry, slapping the table and shouting at least 49% of the shares!

Sumu wasn't in the conference room.

He occasionally attends board meetings, not very often, because it is difficult to unify everyone's opinions almost every time, resulting in disagreements and fights often occur, and every time he has a headache for a day or two, he is reluctant to attend.

The part of the shareholders who serve as members of the board of directors is okay, and can generally objectively analyze the situation and vote, while some directors elected by shareholders seem to be worried about being blamed by the bosses for not working with money, and occasionally do stupid things to make decisions with their butts, which is annoying, anyway, whether it is profit or loss, it has nothing to do with them, most of them are taking a fixed amount of dead wages, and they are too lazy to care about the company's quality or badness.

The professional manager system in the United States has been developed for more than 100 years, and it has developed relatively well in modern times, so the number of people who do not do things for money is not very large, and even if there is, they will soon be voted out by other board members.

Recently, Mr. Macrini, the founder and shareholder of SUN, was kicked out of the board of directors, and the chairman of the board of directors was handed over, as was the case with Steve Jobs more than a decade ago.

It is not easy to manage a company, especially a large listed company, Su Mu is preparing to insert his assistant Alan into this company to help him manage it, Mr. Allen has been an assistant by his side for nearly ten years, and his vision and ability are worthy of recognition, although he is a little reluctant, but it is indeed time for him to get better development opportunities.

Sitting in my office drinking coffee, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, my spirit began to be tired, just a good time to have a cup of afternoon tea to refresh myself.

Su Mu crossed Erlang's legs and asked Secretary Allen, "Have they discussed the results?"

"It's still arguing, I guess there will be a while, you can rest first. ”

Assistant Allen said with a smile, "I listened to it for a few minutes, and they seemed to have decided to invest, but there was still a dispute about the amount. ”

"Well, in fact, the equity has little impact on me, anyway, such a small amount of money can't realize my idea, and then I still have the right of first refusal, plus my Penguin Apple shares, it is not difficult to control eighty to ninety percent of the shares before going public...... Wait, let's not go public, I have a hunch that it will be very profitable, provided that there is no problem with my thinking. ”

Su Mu seemed to be talking to Alan's assistant, and as if he was talking to himself, and not long after, he was notified that a secretary came and told him that he could go back and continue to preside over the board meeting.

......

"How's it going, gentlemen and ladies, agreeing to try a new business with me?"

Before anyone appeared, Su Mu's voice rang in the ears of the directors.

Compared with the previous CEO Blake, it seems that Su Mu is more kind, but in fact, on the contrary, they feel that Su Mu is much more difficult to deal with, mainly because the strength is too strong, which makes these people feel that they can't deal with it.

Thankfully, Su Mu is also strong in other companies, and with someone as unlucky as himself, these directors will feel much more comfortable.

Don't look at their discussions and discussions, the sad thing is that no one has ever thought of jumping out of the boundaries drawn by Su Mu, such as getting 60 or 70 percent of the shares, as if the maximum is 49 percent by default, which is the manifestation of Su Mu's strength.

The Morgan Stanley representative nodded, smiling, and seemed to have obtained a satisfactory result, and he told Su Mu: "With 150 million US dollars and technology patents, our bottom line is 40 percent of the new company's shares, and the specific business projects will be discussed later, and we will first determine whether to agree to the cooperation." ”

The bottom line is used to break in Su Mu's eyes, today he is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Penguin Apple, but also attended as a partner of the company, and said: "Very good, I promise to give you 35% of the shares, and when the financing is next, you can also get 35% of the total share of financing preemptive subscription rights, we Chinese have a saying that fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, you will be glad for today's decision in the future, start voting, I abstain." ”

In a word, they cut five percent of the shares, but they have the right of first refusal, which can also give them a little comfort.

You look at me, I look at you, and after one of them raised his hand in agreement, the rest also agreed, and all raised their hands, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.

Su Mu continued: "Very good, I abstained as a major shareholder, your voting rights add up to more than half, lawyer, please help draw up an investment intention contract, you can't Party A and Party B are all in my name, send a representative to sign."

Starting with the next discussion, I hope that from the third quarter, the proportion of product research and development expenses in total revenue will increase by 10%, now is the era of innovation, if we don't innovate, we will fall behind, including but not limited to internal research and development, external acquisition of patents, start voting. ”

After a second, he raised his hand himself, and then put it down again, "Very good, the majority shareholder, who has 81% of the company's decision-making power, that is, I agree."

Lawyers, accountants, remember to make announcements, remember to mention the recent bankruptcy of a large number of companies, I am ready to find some patents that may be beneficial to the future development of the company, I expect short-term profits to decrease, and I will also publish the sales data for the first five months in Europe, I hope it will not fall. ”

The other directors collectively rolled their eyes, and they also understood that with Su Mu here, the board meeting was completely a joke, and it was not their turn to speak.

I couldn't guess Su Mu's thoughts, and I couldn't even give my opinion, and the typist next to him crackled to record what Su Mu said, and at this moment, he looked at several directors who were in a daze, and couldn't help laughing for a while......
