Talent was not found, Chen Shi was slightly disappointed, but he did not give up, Tao Zi's communication is not so broad, and he has not been in contact with talents in this area, but he believes that others should have contact, especially Fang Xuedong.

He was about to go to Fang Xuedong, but a phone call changed his itinerary.

The call was from He Chunming, saying that he hoped that he would go to the supermarket headquarters and that there was something very important to discuss.

Chen Shi knew that of course He Chunming would not call him for no reason, it must be a necessary matter, otherwise why didn't he even say a word?

Chen Shi drove to a supermarket, and before he entered the office area, He Chunming came outside to greet him, and he seemed to be in a hurry.

As soon as he saw Chen Shi, he hurriedly said, "You can be regarded as here." ”

Chen Shi really didn't understand why He Chunming was in such a hurry, and asked, "What's the matter?"

He Chunming said: "You'll know in a while, and now someone is waiting for you." ”

Chen Shi was about to ask who it was, but He Chunming opened the door of the office, and then he saw Lu Linlin, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

Chen Shi hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Why is Sister Lu here? I thought that Mr. He was looking for me for something important? It turned out to be your big Buddha?"

Lu Linlin said with a smile: "What kind of Buddha am I? I brought someone over to meet you today, and he has something to talk to you about, so I am a foil." ”

Lu Linlin pointed to a middle-aged man sitting on the side, Chen Shi only saw him at this time, only to see that he was ordinary, he couldn't see anything special, with a slight smile on his face, it seemed that he would smile when he saw anyone.

Chen Shi asked, "Who is this?"

Lu Linlin introduced: "His name is Lu Hou, and he is responsible for all the investments of my Lu family, and now he has some opinions that he wants to mention to you, so I brought him here." ”

Chen Shi understood, this is the matter that the Lu family wants to ask about the supermarket, the Lu family is a shareholder, of course, there is the right to ask, of course Chen Shi will not refuse, and said: "Is there anything important that Sister Lu needs to come to in person? ”

Lu Linlin smiled and said to Lu Hou: "Say it! Anyway, I can't be the master, I'm just here to listen, and I also brought you to meet by the way, now that everyone knows each other, my task is completed." ”

Lu Hou looked at Chen Shi with a slight smile and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, we want to know when the supermarket will be listed." ”

"Listing?" Chen Shi asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to go public?"

Listing is an initial public offering, which refers to the process of an enterprise issuing additional shares to investors through the initial public offering of shares on the stock exchange, with a view to raising funds for the development of the enterprise. When a large number of investors subscribe for new shares, they need to allocate shares by ballot, also known as ballot of shares, and the subscribed investors expect to sell them at a price higher than the subscription price. In the Chinese environment, there are three types of listings: Chinese companies are listed in China or on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges (A shares or B shares), Chinese companies directly go to overseas stock exchanges (such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, etc.) (H shares), and Chinese companies indirectly set up offshore companies overseas and list on overseas stock exchanges in the name of the offshore company (red chips).

Chen Shi didn't know how to go public, and he never thought about going public, but now the Lu family actually proposed to go public, which caught him a little off guard.

Lu Hou explained: "There are too many benefits of going public, and the simplest thing is that it can make the company's market value skyrocket instantly. ”

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Is it possible to make the company's market value plummet?"

Lu Houdao: "Generally, not." ”

Chen Shi looked at He Chunming and asked, "What do you think?"

He Chunming said: "We don't need financing, although there is a certain degree of financial difficulty, but I think it is best to go steady, listing is not necessarily a good thing, because there are too many involved, the company will lose its concealment, for competitors, they can fully understand the company's development direction, and even grasp the company's financial situation, in this way, if someone has the heart of annexation, people are capital predators, we may not be able to stabilize." ”

He Chunming's meaning is very simple, he does not agree with the listing, because after the listing, the whole company is not one person who has the final say, the listing involves too much, the company needs to be restructured, it needs to make new challenges to the share capital, it needs to be reported to the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and it requires a lot of procedures, which will not be done in a while.

Many publicly listed stocks have not had as high earnings as expected, and some have even plummeted for various reasons. The reason for these disappointments is likely to be that the stock market is generally sluggish, or that companies are not earning as expected, or that the public finds that they don't really have the experts to advise them when the stock goes public. Stock listing and post-listing setbacks can seriously affect the recovery of profits of venture capital, and even make venture capital fall short. Therefore, when deciding whether to go public or not, venture capitalists and corporate entrepreneurs will weigh the pros and cons comprehensively.

With He Chunming's support, of course Chen Shi would not rashly choose to go public, and the company would be out of control after listing, and he objected: "Since this is the case, then we are not ready to go public." ”

However, a supermarket has the capital of the Lu family in it, although they do not have an advantage, but after all, they are shareholders, and they still have the right to speak.

Lu Houdao: "I think it's better to go public, I dare to guarantee that as long as it is listed, the stock will definitely rise, and it is guaranteed that it will not fall." ”

Chen Shi laughed and said: "You promise it's useless, even if it rises, I don't plan to go public, do it myself, how good it is to be free, and after listing, I will be subject to the board of directors, absolutely not, and our country's stock market system is not sound, there will be people who are greedy after listing, if we encounter a sniper of huge capital, we may not even be able to survive a round, and there is no need to talk about listing." ”

Lu Hou's smiling face suddenly changed color, and he said lightly: "What if we insist?"

Chen Shi was also not happy, he said: "I have the absolute right to operate, you don't, therefore, it doesn't matter whether you insist on it or not, I am not ready to go public." ”

Lu Hou said coldly: "Then our Lu family is ready to withdraw its investment." ”

Chen Shi sneered, he understood, the Lu family is definitely not a good person, although Lu Linlin helped him at the beginning, although he gave him capital expansion, but of course this is purposeful, they must have thought about going public a long time ago, and then they can achieve the purpose of controlling the supermarket through listing, anyway, Chen Shi doesn't know anything about the stock market, they did something in time, and he didn't know.

Thinking of this, Chen Shi said: "Withdraw the investment, withdraw the investment, it is better to withdraw it, at most, we will expand slowly, anyway, we are not in a hurry, I am still young, and I am not afraid to wait for thirty or fifty years." ”

Lu Hou glanced at Lu Linlin, and Lu Linlin said: "What do you think I'm doing? I didn't agree at the beginning, you had to do this, do you want me to wipe your butt now? I said, I just brought you to meet them, I don't care about other things, my task is completed, and what you do next has nothing to do with me." ”

Lu Linlin actually didn't persuade Chen Shi, which was indeed a bit unexpected.

Lu Hou stood up and said: "Since this is the case, let's prepare the procedures for withdrawal, our Lu family's money can't be wasted here, it must be produced as soon as possible, and it must be put into operation, otherwise, if it is so lifeless, it will depreciate sooner or later." ”

Chen Shi will not be intimidated by the threat, he said to He Chunming: "You are ready to negotiate with them, withdraw the capital, withdraw the capital, our expansion will be temporarily stopped, after withdrawing their share capital, we will be more pure, in the future, we will have the final say in everything, we don't have to look at other people's faces, how good is it to be free and easy?"

Although He Chunming didn't want others to withdraw his investment, there was no way to do it, so he had to nod and admit it.

Chen Shi also stood up, and Lu Hou walked out, saying as he walked, I will bring the negotiation team over tomorrow, and you are ready.

Chen Shi nodded and didn't answer, he was ready now, Lu Linlin also walked out, but when she reached the door, she stopped and said to Chen Shi: "Xiao Chen, business is business, favor is favor, I hope not to affect the friendship between us because of business matters, you have helped me, I will not forget." ”

Chen Shi said with a smile: "Sister Lu, don't worry, you won't take it to heart, you don't have to care too much, business is originally something you want to do, and of course you don't have to be reluctant to do it." ”

Lu Linlin smiled and said: "That's fine, I'll go first, you can call me if you have something, I can't help with the negotiation, I won't come tomorrow, you can handle it yourself." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Linlin stepped on her high heels and walked on the ground, until her footsteps disappeared, Chen Shi said to He Chunming: "Which play is this Lu family? Could it be that we invested in us to prepare for today's listing? Now that he can't be listed, he actually wants to withdraw his capital? Do you think he is a threat or is it true?"

He Chunming thought for a while and said: "I guess they really want to go public, but they won't withdraw their capital immediately, they will definitely fight for it, I guess they will definitely call you in the evening, they must want to convince you, otherwise wouldn't it be too casual for them to give up like this?"

Indeed, if the Lu family had invested in preparation for today's listing, then they would not have given up easily at this time, so perhaps they would have re-negotiated with Chen Shi, and the withdrawal was just a threat or a means of negotiation.

Chen Shi naturally couldn't figure out how the Lu family was going to deal with him, but he was not afraid of the soldiers who would block the water and cover the earth, anyway, it was impossible to go public, as for the divestment, although it had an impact on the supermarket, it was not fatal, he could handle it, and he could get through this difficulty.
