Chapter 508: Are You Worthy?
When Zeng Fuhu's secretary walked in, he could be said to be smiling. Before today, Zeng Fuhu's future was uncertain, and the news that came out was all bad. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden reversal today, Sohu still returned to Zhang Siyuan's banner, and Zeng Fuhu is still the president of Sohu, so she, Zeng Fuhu's secretary, will naturally not have the crisis of needing to find a job again.
Zeng Fuhu, who was chatting with Gu Yongqiang, heard his secretary's report, his face did not change, but said very calmly: "I know, just say I'm not there." ”
For Director Zhu, Zeng Fuhu didn't want to deal with them at all. With the return of Zhang Siyuan, Zeng Fuhu no longer needs to care about anyone in Sohu. Not to mention that the shares in the hands of Director Zhu are about to be transferred, even if their shares are not transferred, with Zhang Siyuan here, Zeng Fuhu does not need to look at their faces to act.
Zeng Fuhu's secretary nodded: "I know, Mr. Zeng." ”
Then he closed the door and walked out, and the secretary also thought of the previous time when Zhang Siyuan was the chairman of Sohu. Zeng Fuhu's authority in Sohu does not allow anyone to provoke, and Director Zhu and those people do not dare to act against Zeng Fuhu at all. It's just that with Zhang Siyuan's departure, Zeng Fuhu is not a man of his word, and Director Zhu and those people will jump up and down so much, even Zeng Fuhu is not in his eyes. Now that Zhang Siyuan is back, Zeng Fuhu has returned to when he was in Sohu, and by the way, even she doesn't need to care too much about Director Zhu's people.
After the secretary went out, Zeng Fuhu smiled and asked Gu Yongqiang, "Old Gu, do you know what Director Zhu and those people are here for?"
As Zeng Fuhu's words fell, Gu Yongqiang touched his chin with one hand and began to think. Gu Yongqiang knew that this was Zeng Fuhu testing him, and he didn't ask casually. After all, Zeng Fuhu has made it very clear just now that after Sohu was merged into Times Technology, Zeng Fuhu wanted to go behind the scenes, and he wanted to hold up the banner of Sohu. Even if he doesn't have the name of Sohu in the future, he will become the leader of this group of Sohu.
Zeng Fuhu didn't urge Gu Yongqiang, holding the teacup in front of him and drinking tea slowly. Indeed, as Gu Yongqiang thought, Zeng Fuhu was indeed thinking about Gu Yongqiang. Not to mention anything else, Sohu is also such a big stall, so many people have been merged into the science and technology of the times, and there is always a need for a center. He didn't want to be the leader, so he had to arrange them well.
Since ancient times, there have been fights where there are people, let alone a huge tech company. What technology companies need most is talent and capital. If you don't have enough talent, you don't have a leading product. Without adequate funding, it is useless to have people alone.
After all, without money, no idea can be realized. After Sohu merged into Times Technology, there is no special demand for talents for the time being, but the demand for funds is definitely needed. If there is no suitable leader who can't get funds from Times Technology's finance, then so many people in Sohu will only be surpassed by those people in Times Technology and gradually marginalized. This is unacceptable to Zeng Fuhu, after all, the big jump of Sohu was completed in his hands, and he can't stand watching Sohu's subordinates become supporting roles.
After thinking for about ten minutes, Gu Yongqiang raised his head and said, "Mr. Zeng, I think they should be here for the matter of shares." Now the only thing the company has to do with them is the shares they own. Mr. Zhang said at the meeting that if they want to sell shares, they will come to you directly. Then they are looking for you at this time, naturally for the sake of shares. ”
Zeng Fuhu was not surprised that Gu Yongqiang could think of this, but then asked: "Then do you think they are here to sell, or are they here to make trouble?"
Gu Yongqiang replied directly: "It's troublesome." ”
Zeng Fuhu showed an interested look and looked at Gu Yongqiang: "Tell me the reason." ”
Gu Yongqiang didn't need to think about it this time, but replied directly: "As we all know, Mr. Zhang is only willing to buy their shares at a price of one million per hundredth share. This price is completely unacceptable to them, even if Sohu is now delisted from the Nasdaq as a junk stock, the 30 percent of the shares are more than 30 million. But what Mr. Zhang said was like spilled water, and it was impossible to change it, so they had no other way but to talk to you. ”
"Then why didn't they go to Mr. Zhang?" Zeng Fuhu asked.
Gu Yongqiang smiled: "They want to find Mr. Zhang, but do they know where Mr. Zhang is?"
Zeng Fuhu nodded: "Not only that, their shares have been transferred to Ding Sanshi. As far as I know, the contract has been signed, and Ding Sanshi has already transferred the money to their account. I don't know the specific agreement between them, but I know that Director Zhu and these people probably don't care whether we will buy their shares or not, but it is still possible to come to me to talk. After all, the price Ding Sanshi gave them was not high, if we could bid a little higher, they would naturally want to sell it. And it is still a question whether Ding Sanshi will suffer this dumb loss, of course they want to find a safe way. ”
When Gu Yongqiang heard Zeng Fuhu say this, he said with some uncertainty: "Mr. Zeng, do you mean that they salute first and then soldiers?
Zeng Fuhu replied: "Of course, this is for sure. According to my estimate, Ding Sanshi will definitely make some demands to buy the shares in their hands. If Mr. Zhang can't return to Sohu, then Director Zhu and these people will definitely be able to meet Ding Sanshi's requirements. However, Mr. Zhang re-entered Sohu as a king, and Director Zhu and those people couldn't make any trouble. Then they will definitely not be able to meet Ding Sanshi's conditions, and Ding Sanshi will definitely let them spit out the money. It's just that I don't know if they signed any written agreement, if they did, then Director Zhu and these people could really only come to us to make trouble. ”
The two were chatting when there was a noise outside Zeng Fuhu's office. Zeng Fuhu and Gu Yongqiang were just about to go out to have a look, when the door of the office was pushed open.
Zeng Fuhu and Gu Yongqiang, who had already stood up, saw Director Zhu and a group of people squeezed into Zeng Fuhu's office, and Zeng Fuhu's secretary was sitting on the ground.
Zeng Fuhu's office became a little crowded in an instant because of the crowd of so many people at once. Secretary Zeng Fuhu, who had already gotten up from the ground, lowered his head and said to Zeng Fuhu embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Mr. Zeng, I can't stop them." ”
Zeng Fuhu didn't blame the secretary, after all, Director Zhu and the four or five big men were not something that her little secretary could stop. However, regarding the attitude of Director Zhu and others, Zeng Fuhu was very unhappy in his heart.
After Director Zhu and others squeezed into Zeng Fuhu's office, Director Zhu was still the leader, and said to Zeng Fuhu: "Mr. Zeng, we are here to discuss with you about the company's repurchase of the part of the shares in our hands. ”
At this time, Director Zhu no longer had the same domineering appearance when talking to Zeng Fuhu. It's just that it's not polite, after all, it's impossible for him to switch roles all at once.
Zeng Fuhu heard Director Zhu's words, and first said to the secretary: "You go out." ”
The secretary nodded and walked out, and after the secretary walked out, Zeng Fuhu looked at Director Zhu coldly: "Director Zhu, about the company's repurchase of your shares." It has been made clear that the company is willing to buy back at a price of one million per hundredth of a share. If you want, you can sign the contract now, and if you don't, then we don't need to talk. However, since we have also worked together for a while, I remind you that this price is set according to the time of your transfer, and the price will only get lower and lower in the future. ”
Director Zhu himself just wanted to be soft, because he didn't expect that Ding Sanshi would actually record them. If they couldn't meet Ding Sanshi's requirements, it would be impossible for their part of the shares to make Ding Sanshi suffer that dumb loss. Ding Sanshi had already sent the recording to them, and also gave them a minimum deadline, and if he couldn't return the money tomorrow, then Ding Sanshi was ready to take legal measures.
However, Director Zhu had no money to pay back Ding Sanshi, and the money he got had already been transferred to his wife and son abroad to buy a house and a car. If he sells the house and car, not to mention the loss in the middle, even if there is no loss, it is not enough for him to return to Ding Sanshi. After all, he also gave some money to his junior and illegitimate child, if he repaid the money, then their family's life abroad would have problems. Therefore, Director Zhu only thought that Zeng Fuhu could buy their shares at the same price as Ding Sanshi, after all, that price was not too high.
After Zeng Fuhu's words were finished, Director Zhu smiled bitterly and said to Zeng Fuhu: "Mr. Zeng, I know that I was wrong about what happened before. It's just that the price offered by Mr. Zhang is too low, can you give a little more. Everyone knows the market value of Sohu, and that price is completely cheap. ”
Zeng Fuhu was ruthless: "Impossible, I still say the same thing, if you don't sell it now, in a few days, maybe you won't even have that price!"
Director Zhu couldn't help it, he had been angry a lot in the past few days in order to sell his shares. Unlike other directors, he sold his shares because he was short of money, so his profile was very low. Now everyone is squatting on his head and acting majestic, coupled with the helplessness of being forced to repay the money, the oppression in his heart suddenly turned into anger.
"Zeng Fuhu, don't go too far. I know that Zhang Siyuan especially wants the shares in our hands, you ask him to come over, and I will talk to him. You're just a pawn of him, so what qualifications do you have to make decisions? You call and tell Zhang Siyuan, I'll wait for him here!" Director Zhu said angrily to Zeng Fuhu.
Zeng Fuhu did not show weakness because of Director Zhu's loud voice, but said very calmly: "In Mr. Zhang's words, what are you, why should you talk to Mr. Zhang, are you worthy?"
