Chapter 59: Xu Fei is in full control!
After some consideration, Xu Fei decided to let Zhou Guolong sell 40% of the shares of No. 2 Middle School to Charlie Chen, worth 150 million yuan.
For 150 million yuan, you can buy 40% of the shares of Yangzhou's largest private middle school, which is quite affordable.
Xu Fei expected that Charlie Chen would definitely buy it. So he confessed to Zhou Guolong and put forward a condition for Charlie Chen!
Zhou Guolong immediately called Charlie Chen:
"Mr. Chen, the chairman of our school has decided to agree to sell 40% of the shares of No. 2 Middle School at a price of 150 million! Are you satisfied with this price?"
Charlie Chen jumped up excitedly when he heard this: 150 million, for his net worth of more than $5 billion. That's a drop in the bucket!
He quickly agreed, and promised to donate 50 million to No. 2 Middle School free of charge, so that Zhou Guolong must sell his shares to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness and love. Support the development of education in our No. 2 Middle School! But our chairman of the board of directors also put forward a condition! This condition, please ask Mr. Chen to seriously consider this condition!"
Zhou Guolong said:
"Our school's largest shareholder is an overseas billionaire who has just planned to invest $2 billion to set up an education fund in our school. Because he is the majority shareholder, the purchaser of this 40% stake in our school has made a request: he must be like him, and come up with $2 billion to establish an education fund in No. 2 Middle School!"
Charlie Chen jumped up again when he heard this:
"What? $2 billion to set up an education fund?"
He is worth just over $5 billion. Let him take out 2 billion at once? How is it possible!
Zhou Guolong hurriedly explained:
"The 2 billion is just for you to take out as a fund temporarily, and after three years, you can take it back. "
Charlie Chen nodded and said, "That's like words." "
Zhou Guolong continued: "Mr. Chen, you can't touch the $2 billion for 3 years, and our school will keep it on your behalf. The interest earned from the account deposited in our school will be used as a fund to reward the outstanding teachers and students of the whole school. "
Charlie Chen was still a little hesitant, after all, he was a small part of his net worth. What if something happens and I can't get it back?
"In return, we allowed you to buy 40 percent of our school for just $150 million, and we announced that you had donated $2 billion to us," Zhou stressed. Our school can apply to the relevant authorities to give you the title of 'Educational Philanthropist'. "
When Charlie Chen heard this, isn't this what he wants? Investing in the education industry is originally to win a good reputation for himself!
He's already moved.
Zhou Guolong also gave him a second option:
"Of course, you can also spend $500 million to buy 40% of our shares. In that case, we won't announce that you've donated money. And it doesn't help you apply for the title of 'Educational Philanthropist'!"
Charlie Chan thought twice. Finally, he agreed: "Okay! I'll transfer $2 billion to you tomorrow!"
Zhou Guolong said with a smile: "Then thank you again Mr. Chen for his support to the education of our No. 2 Middle School!"
In the next few days, Charlie Chen sold some of his overseas assets and scraped together enough for $2 billion!
Then, he signed a secret contract with Zhou Guolong.
The contract stipulates that:
Article 1: The second lieutenant general announced to the outside that Charlie Chen donated $2 billion to the second lieutenant school and helped him with the title of "education philanthropist".
Article 2: In fact, the 2 billion is stored in the school's financial account, and it will be returned to Charlie Chen after three years.
Article 3: In return, Charlie Chen can use 150 million to buy 40% of the shares of Erzhong.
Of course, the second and third articles are not announced to the public, only Charlie Chen and Zhou Guolong. And part of the board of directors of the second middle school will know.
At the same time as the contract was signed, Charlie Chen also deposited 2 billion US dollars into the financial account of No. 2 Middle School.
Then. Zhou Guolong, as the acting chairman of the school, held a general meeting of shareholders to welcome Charlie Chen to join the ranks of shareholders.
Of course, Charlie Chen only owns 40% of the shares, and is not the largest shareholder.
But at this conference, Xu Fei, the major shareholder, did not come. And except for Zhou Guolong, no one knows that Xu Fei is the major shareholder and chairman!
But Charlie Chen is already planning to spend more money to buy some shares and make his shares more than 50% more.
At that time, he will be the largest shareholder, and he can hold a general meeting of shareholders and become the top manager of the second middle school - the chairman!
After he became chairman. You can control the $4 billion fund and use it however you want.
Charlie Chen's abacus played very loudly.
But it is a pity that the dozen or so shareholders who attended the shareholders' meeting together own less than 5% of the shares.
And Charlie Chen didn't know that the 5% stake was still taken out by Xu Fei and rewarded to the outstanding teachers of the school.
After the conference, Zhou Guolong immediately held a press conference to announce that Charlie Chen donated 2 billion to the second middle school!
More than 20 TV stations and websites have reported the news of the big philanthropist Charlie Chen's donation of 2 billion.
In just half a day, this news caused a sensation in the entire Yangzhou City. Charlie Chen's name spread all over the streets. Praise to all!
The next day, Zhou Guolong brought him a silver cup of "education philanthropist".
This is the effect of Charlie Chen's investment in the education sector. He has now become a big celebrity in Yangzhou City!
Those merchants and bosses who originally refused to cooperate with him began to come to the door. We want to cooperate with him and do business together!
"Just handing over $2 billion to No. 2 Middle School for three years can achieve such an effect. I'm Charlie Chan starting today. We want to open up a new situation in Yangzhou!"
