Many reporters in the news center are ready to move, and they are all aiming at the two middle-level positions that are about to be vacated. Seeing these people jumping up and down, Guo Yang shook his head secretly.

Overnight, he, the deputy director who had only been in office for a few days, turned into a deputy director and began to preside over the work. This speed is really faster than riding a rocket.

At noon, Guo Yang walked to the corridor and called Shen Xiaoman.

"Xiaoman, what's the situation at the People's Mall?"

Shen Xiaoman's voice was a little solemn: "The situation is more complicated. They are indeed promoting enterprise restructuring under the leadership of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, and there is currently a large private enterprise in the provincial capital, Lotus Company. Compared with Lotus Company, we are not an order of magnitude in terms of popularity, connections, or enterprise scale and strength. ”

"It's hard for me. Shen Xiaoman specifically emphasized this point.

Guo Yang took a deep breath: "The difficulty is definitely not small, but no matter how difficult it is, it must be done!"

Guo Yang expressed his resolute attitude: "I am still familiar with this Lotus company. They are engaged in the production of building materials, and they want to participate in the restructuring of the people's shopping mall, which is nothing more than to achieve the purpose of backdoor listing to make money. ”

Shen Xiaoman said in his heart, aren't you talking nonsense? If it weren't for the sake of listing to make money, with the current situation of frequent insolvency in the people's shopping mall, how could any company be willing to spend money to fill this big hole?

"Our advantage is that the main business and future development direction of our Ai Bing shopping are highly overlapping with the people's shopping mall, and our participation in it is a major benefit for their listed company!"

Shen Xiaoman smiled bitterly: "Guo Yang, we can't talk to ourselves, this matter is very complicated, at least someone from the provincial government must help coordinate it." Think about it, can we compete with Lotus?"

"In this way, Xiaoman, since we can't compare to Lotus Company in terms of network resources, let's fight for funds! You ask your old classmate Ji Dabin to inquire and see the bottom line of the other party's bid, and we will discuss it when it's over!"

Shen Xiaoman said softly: "I still need you to tell me?" I have already asked Ji Dabin, and he promised to help us match, but I hope that after this matter is completed, he can work in the reorganized company." ”

Guo Yang frowned: "Your old classmate is not very ambitious, and he is also very greedy. He wants to occupy the position of our Ai Bing Group, but also wants to reach out for a piece of the pie from this aspect?"

Shen Xiaoman shrugged: "Anyway, he is such a person, very realistic, and attaches great importance to interests." If you think it's okay, then I'll promise him, if not, then leave him alone, and I'll contact the People's Mall directly, but that should be more difficult. ”

Guo Yang pondered for a moment: "Xiaoman, promise him! No matter how greedy he is, it will be valuable to us! As long as this is done, what if he is given a position as an executive?!"

Ji Dabin said that Lotus Company offered 20 million yuan and was ready to account for 51% of the equity of the reorganized People's Shopping Mall to achieve their purpose of backdoor listing. Shen Xiaoman sighed lightly: "This price is not low, with the current value of the People's Mall, with the major risk that the listed company under its name is about to be delisted, it is not even worth 10 million, and the price of 20 million is quite high." ”

"Moreover, I have heard that Lotus has reached some kind of compromise of interests with the current top management of the People's Mall. ”

Guo Yang waved his hand decisively: "Xiaoman, you let Ji Dabin pull the strings, you go to talk to the high-level management of the People's Shopping Mall, we will take care of what Lotus Company gives, and at the same time, we will bid 40 million!"

Shen Xiaoman was taken aback: "Are you crazy?! Guo Yang, do you know what the concept of 40 million is? We mortgaged your equity in Dingwen Media to get a total of 50 million yuan from the bank for financing, and this was originally going to be used to get land! You gamble with all your might, if the investment fails, you will go bankrupt!"

Xiaoman, when the money is gone, you can make it again, but if the opportunity is gone, it will be gone forever! We are equivalent to spending 40 million yuan to buy an empty shell, as long as we can go public through the backdoor, everything is worth it. ”

Shen Xiaoman was silent.

She didn't approve of Guo Yang's desperate gamble like this. Backdoor listing is of course a good thing, but if the cost is too high, there is a major danger that the tail will not be big and the enterprise itself will be dragged down. Once the backdoor listing does not achieve the intended purpose, Ai Bing Group itself is finished.

As for the out-of-stock crisis that Ai Bing Shopping is facing at the moment, Shen Xiaoman feels that it is not too terrible. The worst result, at most, is to give up Ai Bing shopping, and it will collapse, which will not have an essential impact on the foundation of Ai Bing Group. The 50 million funds invested in real estate can quickly return to the cost in a year or two and make a lot of money.

"Guo Yang, you have to think clearly, if you lose this bet, we have nothing......

Guo Yang laughed: "Xiaoman, this is not a gamble, nor is it a desperate bet, but to judge the situation, make a decision immediately, and seize the opportunity! You are just thinking about the risk, you don't want to think about the huge value of success?"

"As long as we can succeed in backdoor listing, Ai Bing Group will really be reborn! At that time, we will no longer be a small enterprise nested in the northern province, but a large group qualified to wrestle with national capital!"

"Mark my words, we don't have the resources and connections, it's not scary. We have the sincerity and the financial strength. I think that as long as our offer is much higher than that of Lotus Company, and the benefits we give are far greater than that of Lotus Company, the people's shopping mall and the province are not fools, they will make a wise choice!"

Shen Xiaoman sighed: "I have never seen a person like you, you are going to take money to smash the door! This company claims to be a large provincial enterprise, but in fact there is only one shopping mall and two branches, and its biggest asset is the empty shell that seized the opportunity to go public a few years ago.

Shen Xiaoman still didn't turn this corner.

Guo Yang knows that it is not Shen Xiaoman's backward thinking, but that she is affected by the times and reality, and her value judgment is still in a relatively closed state.

As for whether the People's Mall itself can continue to operate, it really doesn't matter - even if it is closed, we can fill in the whole package of Ai Bing Shopping in the future and replace it!"

Guo Yang could only patiently explain to Shen Xiaoman little by little, guiding Shen Xiaoman's thinking to expand to openness.

"For example, the existing fixed assets of the People's Mall will be sold to pay off their debts. At the same time, the assets of Ai Bing Shopping will be restructured into it, and the people's shopping mall will become Ai Bing Shopping, and our total assets will remain the same, but it will become a listed company - as for the people's shopping mall itself, it doesn't matter whether it exists in the future or not!"

Shen Xiaoman was stunned: "Can you still operate like this?"

Guo Yang laughed: "Xiaoman, think about it from a different angle, why can't you operate like this?"

Shen Xiaoman pondered it again and again, and suddenly felt that what Guo Yang said was very reasonable. Guo Yang's train of thought seemed to have opened a window in front of her eyes, and everything suddenly became clear.

……

Ji Dabin helped Shen Xiaoman make an appointment with Mao Tianxiang, the party secretary and manager of the People's Shopping Mall, at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Shen Xiaoman came to the gate of the People's Mall on time and met Ji Dabin. Seeing that Ji Dabin's face was a little gloomy, Shen Xiaoman couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Old classmate, what's the situation?"

"Xiaoman, I think you're a bit hanging. I just got the news that Lotus Company has reached a verbal agreement with the top management, and the other party promised that Mao Tianxiang and others will continue to stay in the new enterprise after the restructuring, and the original treatment will remain unchanged. Especially Mao Tianxiang, the condition given by Lotus Company is that the vice chairman and the chairman of the board of supervisors ......"

Shen Xiaoman sighed: "We can also give these conditions......"

Ji Dabin sneered: "This is on the surface, the key is the interests behind it, can you give it? Besides, this company was found by Mao Tianxiang, there must be a private exchange of interests, and it is too difficult for you to insert a lever." ”

"Let me talk to him, give it a try!" Shen Xiaoman chuckled.

Ji Dabin frowned: "Xiaoman, to be honest, I really don't understand your behavior. To tell me the truth, the People's Mall itself has no value, and it is an empty shell of a listed company! Whether this empty shell can be kept is still unknown. Because even if you inject capital and carry out asset restructuring, if you can't turn losses into profits within a year, this shell will be ordered to be delisted. When the time comes, I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty!"

Shen Xiaoman smiled: "This is the decision of our chairman, and I can only implement it." ”

Ji Dabin led Shen Xiaoman into the office area on the top floor of the People's Mall, and when he entered Mao Tianxiang's office, Ji Dabin lowered his voice and said: "Xiaoman, this person is very greedy and black, you have a mental preparation in your heart!"

Shen Xiaoman already knew it.

She never puts the battle of uncertainty into the unsure. Before she came, she had learned about the basic situation of the People's Shopping Mall and Mao Tianxiang himself through different channels, and knew that the reason why the People's Shopping Mall was not operating well to the point where it was on the verge of bankruptcy today was related to this person.

This person is not only mediocre, but also very selfish.

As long as the managers, especially the principal managers, are too selfish, the enterprises will basically not end well.

I don't know how many such real-life cases there are.

Shen Xiaoman followed behind Ji Dabin, and Ying Ying entered Mao Tianxiang's office.

This man was forty-five or sixteen years old, short and fat, with a round face, slightly bowed, and a pair of small eyes that were forever squinted radiated a certain cunning brilliance the moment he looked up.

He sat behind the boss's desk, looking at Shen Xiaoman's eyes with a little obscenity, seeing that Shen Xiaoman didn't like it, but he still took the initiative to come forward with a smile on his face and said, "Manager Mao, hello!"

Mao Tianxiang laughed and got up: "Mr. Shen, right? I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be not only young, but also beautiful as a flower, it's really surprising!!"

Mao Tianxiang was not interested in an unknown company from the following cities that took the initiative to come to him, but because of Ji Dabin's face, he reluctantly agreed to meet him. But when he saw Shen Xiaoman himself, he suddenly became very interested.
