Chapter 845: I Want You to Be on My Side
It was as if a drop of water had entered a pot of boiling oil, and it boiled instantly, and the sound of big and small discussions rang out after Li Xiang's words landed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Especially among the minority shareholders, the discussion was more intense, with some agreeing with Telstra's approach and others insisting that Li Xiang continue to serve as president.
Among them, Han Lu and Du Hong stood firmly on Li Xiang's side and resolutely disagreed with Qin Zhiyuan's ascension.
Even Huang Xinghe, who said before that he would let the decision of the major shareholders decide, joined the discussion, although his attitude has not changed, but he is not as indifferent as before.
Cynthia Whelan also gave her an explanation as much as possible about some of the problems of the minority shareholders, as a representative of Telstra, she had already set the tone set by the headquarters for all the affairs of this trip, and she was just maneuvering with her own means within the tone.
In the middle of the discussion, Li Xiang apologized and said that he wanted to go to the bathroom and left the venue.
Everyone didn't mind, and they also understood that the seemingly heated discussion at the moment was actually the most uncomfortable for Li Xiang, because no one wanted to see the company he had worked so hard to create, and in the end, his position would have to be decided by others.
Some have even thought of Apple's Steve Jobs, the man who single-handedly built the world's most famous tech company.
As a result, he was kicked out in the middle of the process, and if it weren't for Jobs' super ability, it is estimated that he would still not have returned to Apple.
Li Xiang's current situation is so similar to that of Steve Jobs, who single-handedly established Autohome, but was reduced to his position and needed to be appointed by others.
If Telstra is ruthless enough, regardless of the backlash from all parties, it is not impossible to directly kick Li Xiang out.
Of course, at present, it is absolutely impossible to let Li Xiang out, and no one will do it.
After Li Xiang went out, Xue Manzi proposed that the meeting be interrupted, the noisy scene was not conducive to the meeting, it was better to wait for everyone to discuss the results before continuing.
Of course, he also smiled and said that he wanted to take advantage of the break to go out and smoke a cigarette.
Cynthia readily agreed to this proposal, and left the conference room with Qin Zhiyuan and Chen Wenzheng, who had been sitting behind her.
The meeting continued after half an hour!
Lu Heng put his hands in his pockets, paced slowly, and left the conference room slowly, thinking of Lin Su, he entered Li Xiang's office with a smile.
"Is the meeting over, coming out so soon?"
Lin Su was playing a small game on his laptop, and when he saw Lu Heng, his eyes lit up.
Lu Heng sat down next to her, "Not yet, just take a break halfway, and I don't know how long it will take to go later." ”
"Oh......." Lin Su sighed, and continued to play her little game, which was a jigsaw puzzle, the kind of five-by-five, densely packed with puzzle pieces, and Lin Su played quite distressed.
Lu Heng saw that Lin Su was having a hard time, so he smiled and took the mouse.
"I'll play for you!"
Ding, ding, ding..........
Fifty-eight seconds, the portrait of Mona Lisa appeared on the computer screen, and Lu Heng let go of his hand, "OK!"
Before Lin Su could express his amazement, there was a knock on the door.
The two looked over, it was Li Xiang, who was looking at the two with a smile, shaking his hand, "Didn't disturb you, right?"
Lin Su said embarrassedly: "How come, this is your office, do you have something to talk about, then I won't bother for now." ”
With that, Lin Su hugged the computer and went to the next cubicle.
Only Li Xiang and Lu Heng were left in the room.
Bang, the flames lit and went out, the smoke spit out of Li Xiang's mouth, and the face that was smiling before instantly became worried.
Lu Heng also understood what he was worried about, and asked softly, "What is your mind in mind, can you tell me about it now?"
Li Xiang smiled bitterly and no longer hidden.
"What can I think, blame me for being too simple, the operation of the capital market is not as simple as I figured out before!"
Autohome's financing last year was made before the financial crisis broke out, and Telstra valued Autohome at about $150 million, and then invested $76 million to acquire more than 50 percent of the shares, and has since gained a controlling stake.
And Autohome got this money and began to develop drastically, especially to expand the website and dealer cooperation model proposed by Lu Heng a long time ago, and finally obtained a profit of more than five times that of the previous year at the end of 08, and there is still great potential to be tapped.
It's a win-win situation, at least in the eyes of most people!
For example, Lu Heng, who proposed this idea and invested one percent of the shares, was warmly welcomed when he entered the market today, which can be seen.
However, for another person other than the vast majority of people, Li Xiang, it is not necessarily a win-win situation.
He lost his absolute right to speak in Autohome, because he no longer had a controlling stake, and even some major decisions had to be decided by the board of directors, and the right to make decisions did not belong to him, but to Telstra.
The appearance of today's scene was unexpected, but Li Xiang knew that it was only sooner or later, he was not surprised, he had guessed before.
Lu Heng looked at the silent Li Xiang, thought for a while and asked, "Then why is it Qin Zhiyuan instead of someone else taking over from you?" According to the idea of this kind of big investor, they would prefer to parachute in a person in charge!"
Li Xiang shook his head and sighed and explained: "Quite simply, they are afraid that the transfer of top management will cause a chain reaction that will cause the thriving and booming autohome to come to a halt and let their investment go down the drain. Because of this, they will not choose to be airborne, but to select talents inside the Autohome. As for why it is Qin Zhiyuan, the reason will be understood after a little thought, what do you think of me compared to Qin Zhiyuan?"
Lu Heng frowned, and muttered: "Brother Xiang, you dropped out of high school and started your own business, you are worth more than 100 million yuan at a young age, and you are an absolute genius." Qin Zhiyuan, on the other hand, has a glamorous resume, successively studied at Tsinghua University, the highest university in China, and later studied at the University of Iowa, Harvard Business School and other famous universities. He has worked for multinational companies such as IBM, Northern Telecom, McKinsey & Company, and has performed very well in Autohome.
Li Xiang stretched out his hand, his expression helpless.
"In your opinion, he is a genius, but in the eyes of foreigners, he may just have two brushes, and he is just a grassroots with good luck, where is Qin Zhiyuan's turtle identity reliable. And it doesn't stop there, Qin Zhiyuan's original joining was also helped by Huang Xinghe and Xue Manzi. It's just that I was thirsty for talent at the time, but I didn't expect to lure the wolf into the house. ”
Lu Heng sympathized: "The biggest wolf is not Qin Zhiyuan, but Telstra, it was their entry that led you to this point." ”
Li Xiang's expression was helpless, so he just lay on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, his body depressed.
It wasn't until the cigarette butt was about to burn out and there was a burning sensation in his fingers that he turned around.
The pestle extinguished the cigarette butt, Li Xiang took a deep breath, and his eyes once again radiated a confident light.
"A wolf has come in, but I'm not going to compromise like that!"
"Brother Xiang, what do you mean?" Lu Heng was puzzled.
Li Xiang stood up and said: "I started Autohome according to my interest, and for the sake of her development, I would rather let Telstra become the owner, in order to have more funds." At this moment, I still don't want my interests to be guided by others, and I want to personally send her to the most glorious peak. Before reaching the top, no one wants to take the position of president from me!"
After speaking, Li Xiang walked outside without hesitation.
Half an hour was coming, the meeting would start again, and Lu Heng also followed Li Xiang to the conference room.
It's just that when he was at the door, Li Xiang stopped, turned around, and looked at Lu Heng sincerely.
"I'd like you to be on my side later!"
