1413 [I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry]

"Mr. Xia, I really envy you, enjoy the blessings of sitting on a yacht. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's hard for me to run 38 listed companies in one day, I'm as tired as a dog, and I'm still being looked at by people. Liang Botao complained to Summer.

Summer was smart and did not attend the temporary board of directors himself, but sent him as a representative. As a result, the shareholders who were robbed of the company were angry, but they couldn't see the "real murderer" in the summer, so they poured their anger on him.

Every time Liang Botao went to a company, he was inevitably abused, looked down upon, and even almost beaten, making him feel as if he had become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.

"Bo Tao, you suffered this time. Summer nodded, "I will remember your contributions, and I will reward you for your merits in the future, and I promise that you will not be wronged." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xia. Liang Botao smiled happily, and then looked at it again, and said solemnly to Xia, "But those companies that were acquired by us are indeed quite resistant to us." It seems that it is not easy to reorganize them, digest and absorb them. ”

Although Xia now holds more than half of the shares of 38 listed companies and has an absolute controlling stake, this does not mean that he can do whatever he says in the company and do what he wants.

After all, there are other shareholders in the company, and there are other directors, and if they unite and fight against Summer, it will also cause him a lot of trouble.

Because of listed companies, many things require the consent of more than two-thirds of the shareholders at the shareholders' meeting. And the summer has only half of the shares, which is not enough for him to do whatever he wants.

"I understand. Summer nodded.

He knew that the acquisition of these listed companies was only the first step in the 25,000-mile long march. In the future, whether these listed companies can be successfully digested and absorbed, integrated and reorganized is the most test of their wisdom.

……

Acquisition is a shortcut to entrepreneurship, just as picking fruit is a recipe for hard work. There has always been no shortage of businessmen in the business world who are keen on acquisitions, such as Liu Luanxiong, such as Zuckerberg, such as Huang Yulang, but not everyone can benefit from this.

Zuckerberg has successively acquired WhatsApp, a picture-sharing app, and Oculus VR, a virtual reality platform, and even wanted to hit the photo-sharing app SNAPCHAT.

THESE COMPANIES ARE POTENTIAL RIVALS TO FACEBOOK, AND BY ACQUIRING THEM, YOU CAN NOT ONLY GET THEIR TALENT, BUT ALSO NIP YOUR COMPETITORS IN THE BUD.

And Huang Yulang's acquisition is like a nouveau riche, smashing money, eating alive, and starving. The newspapers and magazines he bought could not be effectively digested and absorbed. Once the market is sluggish, it is likely to become a burden to him.

Just like now, Huang Yulang is unlucky. As mentioned above, after Huang Yulang listed the company last year (86), he raised funds through a large rights issue, and used the money raised to start crazy acquisitions, including "Tiantian Daily", "Sin Chew Daily", "Youth" magazine, etc., all of which were included in the bag.

In just one year, Huang Yulang has grown into a newspaper tycoon with a net worth of one billion Hong Kong dollars, comparable to Jin Yong, Hu Xian'er, and Ma Chengkun (Oriental Daily). He even got involved in the film and television industry, funded Zeng Zhiwei to found the Good Friend Film Company, and wanted to be a movie tycoon like Summer.

But now that the stock market crash came, Huang Yulang was unlucky. His stock has depreciated sharply and his net worth has shrunk significantly. In the past, he pledged stock loans to acquire and speculate in stocks, but now as soon as the stock price falls, the bank immediately forces him to repay the loan, otherwise he will sell the pledged stocks.

If the bank really does that, then Huang Yulang will be miserable, years of struggle to come to naught is still a trivial matter, and even bankruptcy overnight is not impossible. So Huang Yulang's head is getting big these days.

……

"Bo Tao, in my opinion, there is no need to rush the integration for a while, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Summer thought for a while and said, "It's better to move in slowly, step by step, anyway, the time is on our side." ”

"It's best if Mr. Xia can think like this, and I think the same way. Liang Botao heard it and said with a smile.

Although the so-called sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Those listed companies have a lot of things to do, regardless of their market capitalization. It is not without precedent that if you blindly integrate, not only will you not benefit, but you will lose a lot.

For example, Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, mentioned above, hopes to make up for its shortcomings in "software". As a result, not only did he spend more than a billion dollars on the acquisition, but he also lost $3.1 billion in the subsequent business process.

Liang Botao is worried that he will be young and vigorous in the summer, and coupled with the successful acquisition of 38 listed companies, it is inevitable that he will be complacent and get carried away. In the process of integrating these listed companies, they are careless, greedy for merit, and eager to achieve success, which leads to serious consequences.

To his relief, Summer was not complacent at all, but cautious and cautious, guarding against arrogance and rashness, which made him admire it greatly.

"Well, it seems that we are heroes. Summer smiled, "In my opinion, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." To complete the integration, it is necessary to have an understanding of these companies. We should also unite all our forces and win over our allies, so that we can promote the reorganization, which will undoubtedly alleviate a lot of resistance. ”

"Mr. Xia is right. I propose to send a team to each listed company to monitor the company's operations and avoid our losses, and to investigate the company so that we can better understand the company. Liang Botao nodded.

"Well, that's what I thought too. Summer smiled.

He still retains his position as a senior executive of these listed companies, and has not been replaced by his own people.

On the one hand, it is to avoid causing chaos, delaying the operation of the company, and causing losses to yourself. After all, listed companies are busy, and a delay of one day may cause losses of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, so you can't rush for a while;

On the one hand, he just wants to take over, and he doesn't have so many talents under him. After all, 38 listed companies, even if each sends 10 people to receive them, it will take 380 talents. With so many talents, let's find it for a while in the summer.

Therefore, his method is to let the executives of the original company stay in place first, and at the same time send a few people to keep an eye on them, on the one hand, to supervise and avoid their own losses, on the one hand, to investigate and distinguish who is friend or foe, and on the other hand, to study, so that they can take over in the future.

The idea of summer is that everyone wants high-ranking officials. There are still few "loyal ministers" who are loyal to the "former dynasty", do not eat Zhou Su, adhere to integrity, blindly make trouble, and blindly destroy.

Although the company's shareholders, directors, and executives are very resistant to themselves, those middle and lower-level employees may not care who is in charge. Therefore, they may not reject themselves, and there may even be smart people who seize the opportunity to come and serve themselves. In that case, you will have talents to use, and you are also a talent who is familiar with the operation of the original company, which is suitable for you to carry out.

However, it will take some time to wait for talents to come to work, and before that, it can only be managed by the original executives, and then a working group will be sent to supervise it.

"Then it's decided. Summer nodded and said, "First send a working group to the company, and then slowly infiltrate and gradually take over these companies." ”

Although a team of 380 people is not enough, it is not difficult to assemble a working group of 1 or 200 people. After all, Wenhe Group is a super consortium and has a lot of talents.

"Okay. Liang Botao nodded.

"Ah, by the way, the other companies do the same. However, UOB and Lai Sun Group can't, and the executives have to be bloodbathed. Summer suddenly said again.

The top management of UOB is made up of the Lee family and their trusted old courtiers, and the top management of the Lai Sun Group is also the Lim family and their trusted old courtiers.

Summer has a grudge against both families, and of course he doesn't want them to continue to occupy high positions, control the power of the company, and draw a fairly good salary.

Liang Botao was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

He had heard about the grievances between Summer and these two families for a long time, so he was not surprised to see Summer do this now.

"Alright, let's do it. Summer waved again.

"Yes!"
