Chapter 309: Listing Conspiracy

Listing is the process of the first public issuance of additional shares to investors on the Guò Stock Exchange, also known as an IPO, in order to raise funds for the development of the enterprise.

Therefore, listing usually means a large influx of new funds, enterprises will usher in a period of rapid development, assets may increase several times or even dozens of times in a short period of time, many people become rich overnight, become millionaires, multimillionaires, billionaires, for the vast majority of modern enterprises, listing is a dream goal, but the strict access review system has turned many companies away.

Listing means equity dilution, the introduction of third-party forces, openness and fairness, acceptance of the supervision of the whole society, every bit of change may be put in the spotlight, causing a strong reaction from the outside world.

Now, Jiang Li alone holds 88% of the shares of Sanniu Company, but if it is listed, not only will his identity as a controlling shareholder be exposed, but it will also be difficult for him to hold such a large stake.

Even so, Jiang Li still agreed with Lu Ming's idea that Sanniu would be listed, only in this way can Sanniu truly go to the society, face the public, and even become a super multinational company leading the world's dairy industry in the future.

Let more people share the soup, the plate can be bigger, and a person's energy, funds and relationship network are limited after all.

Listing is definitely a top priority for enterprises, the review of the China Securities Regulatory Commission is also very strict, not only for enterprise assets, turnover and other hard indicators, but also must establish and improve the modern joint-stock company system, the establishment of standardized and qualified board of directors, independent directors, board of supervisors and other institutions and personnel, this process is called enterprise restructuring, is the first stage of listing preparation.

The length of time and difficulty of enterprise restructuring depends on the situation of the enterprise itself, if it already has a fairly perfect modern company rules and regulations, it will naturally not take much effort, but if it was originally a family business. Parents, brothers, sisters, seven aunts and eight aunts all work within the company, power and responsibility are chaotic, and there is no separation between public and private, which is obviously not an easy task. to be able to successfully go public.

After the previous huge changes, there are only two shareholders left in Sanniu Dairy Company, Jiang Li and Lu Ming, Jiang Li is the absolute controlling shareholder and chairman, but he has hardly asked about the company's affairs, and Lu Ming, who holds 12%, is also the executive director and general manager, and is fully responsible for the daily management and operation of Sanniu Company.

The current senior management of Sanniu Company is basically promoted by Lu Ming, in the past year. Jiang Li's various expressions can be said to have given 200% trust to Lu Ming, but this does not mean that Jiang Li is really not guarded at all.

Anyone has ambitions, especially a stoic person like Lu Ming, in the most dangerous period of Sanniu, he still does not let go, he is not discouraged, this kind of person. In fact, it is very terrifying, Lu Ming's feelings for Sanniu are definitely deeper than Jiang Li. It's hard to guarantee that he has no intention of retaking Sanniu back into his hands.

Listing is the best opportunity, because this is a special stage where the equity may change drastically, once the controlling stake changes hands or Jiang Li can no longer guarantee absolute control, he is bound to fall into the disadvantage of the weak control of the management of Sanniu Company.

However, this is actually a good opportunity for Jiang Li, since most of the shares of Sanniu were acquired by Jiang Li. Lu Ming can be said to be a dominant company in Sanniu Company, except that the controlling stake is not in his hands, which is almost tantamount to the real owner of Sanniu.

Sanniu Company was run by Lu Ming into a monolith, even if Jiang Li wanted to interfere. Jiang Li can justifiably insert his own personnel to the board of directors, the board of supervisors and the management, and through a series of audit reports before the listing, he can have a deep understanding of the company's current situation, know himself and the enemy, and be invincible.

This is not to say that Jiang Li no longer trusts Lu Ming, but the principle of guarding against people is indispensable, Jiang Li can not ask about the specific affairs of the company, it does not mean that he hopes that his investment will be wasted, make wedding clothes for others, or his legitimate rights and prestige will be ignored and will exist in name only.

Taking advantage of the fact that the industry of Sanniu Company is not huge and cumbersome to the point of cutting and untidying, it is just right to conduct a thorough inspection and combing of the company from top to bottom, so as to truly put the company in a controllable control.

Therefore, Jiang Li decided to personally serve as the leader of the restructuring team of Sanniu Company.

Lu Ming was smoking in a muffled voice when he got the news, just now he was invited to participate in a secret meeting, they are the original shareholders of Sanniu Company, they saw the thriving performance and situation of Sanniu Company, and even put the listing on the agenda, one by one finally couldn't hold back the greed and desire in their hearts, so they came to the door, hoping to discuss the plan with him.

These original shareholders actually wanted to get a piece of the growing Sanniu Company, of course, Lu Ming could not agree for no reason, so they provided Lu Ming with a conspiracy plan to seize power through listing.

There is little hope of directly taking away the controlling stake from Jiang Li, as long as Jiang Li is not a fool, he will not take the initiative to hand over the company to others, but it is not impossible to dilute Jiang Li's equity as much as possible to fight against the court or even oppose the customer.

So these original shareholders with ghosts proposed to let Lu Ming persuade Jiang Li to agree to issue a large number of shares to achieve half of the dilution of shares, that is, Jiang Li and Lu Ming gave up half of the shares at the same time, this method seems fair, but in fact, you know, Jiang Li's half means 44% of the shares and equity, and Lu Ming's half is only 6%, the two are not at all in the same order of magnitude, which is tantamount to Tian Ji racing horses in the inferior horses against the superior horses.

But the excuse is actually easy to find, Lu Ming can be said to be for the development of the company, because this can free up 50% of the shares for raising funds, he can even list some projects that urgently need a lot of money and are extremely profitable, to lure Jiang Li to be fooled, and at the same time can also promise to ensure Jiang Li's controlling interest, after all, 44% of the individual holdings are basically a monopoly in listed companies, it is difficult to have a second 44% to come out, and it is impossible to confront Jiang Li's 44% with Lu Ming's 6%.

This seems to be a good idea, which will not threaten Jiang Li's controlling stake, and can raise funds for the development of the company to the greatest extent.

And this is where the confusion of this conspiracy lies, and the problem is not actually the half of the shares jointly held by Jiang Li and Lu Ming. It's about who owns the other half.

Cultivating the plank road in the open, secretly Chen Cang, and hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, this is the true essence of this conspiracy.

The so-called dark Chen Cang is actually an agent or institution of the original shareholder of Sanniu Company who pretends to be a member of the public or other third parties to buy shares, and they will support Lu Ming at the board of directors or shareholders' meeting, so that Lu Ming only has 6% of the shares. But you can exercise 56% of the equity!

The original shareholders also built that Lu Ming tie all the executives into one boat, such as persuading Jiang Li to let the company's executives hold a certain amount of shares under the pretext of making the company's top management more cohesive and loyal, and these executives are loyal to Lu Ming, and if Jiang Li does not agree, he can even threaten to resign en en masse to force Jiang Li to comply.

If Lu Ming's actual control over Sanniu Company is counted, the situation is bound to be greatly reversed, and even if Jiang Li is the nominal controlling shareholder, it will be difficult to control the company in fact.

Wait until the time when the company is officially listed. Lu Ming can also use Jiang Li's trust and rhetoric to persuade Jiang Li to sell his shares to recoup funds and invest in other money-making projects, so that Jiang Li's equity will be further diluted, and it will be more difficult to compete with Lu Ming, and the original shareholders can also cooperate with Lu Ming's actions to create a normal illusion.

All in all, that is, as much as possible to grab the equity in Jiang Li's hands, once Jiang Li lets go. It will be difficult to regain it again, and things will develop in an uncontrollable direction.

And the key to the success of this plan lies in whether Jiang Li is smart and vigilant enough. and whether he trusts Lu Ming enough.

Judging from the fact that Jiang Li had almost never intervened in the company's specific affairs and completely delegated power to Lu Ming, the original shareholders believed that the success rate of this plan should be very high.

However, the original shareholders actually don't know that Jiang Li is the real "mysterious major shareholder" of Sanniu Company, otherwise they may reevaluate this plan, but no matter what. It's a tempting plan that is worth trying, and the only thing you need to do is to have a clear conscience.

Without Jiang Li, it would be almost impossible for Sanniu to survive the crisis. Either it is swallowed up by the larger dairy company Yili, which has always coveted Sanniu, or it is getting worse, lingering, or even falling apart, anyway, it is impossible to have a relationship with "Happy Girl", let alone use it as a springboard to achieve a gorgeous turn of 360 degrees!

Therefore, Lu Ming is very contradictory at this moment, he has a deep affection for Sanniu Company, so even in that situation, he has never let go, he is also an ambitious person, unwilling to be subservient, otherwise he would have already joined Yili Group, and now there is such an opportunity in front of him, how can he not be moved.

But Jiang Li's trust in him Lu Ming saw it in his eyes again, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, whether it is for personal selfish interests and reckless kindness, or in order to repay Jiang Li's trust and willing to follow, this is really a difficult choice question.

In order to break through Lu Ming's psychological barrier, the original shareholders persuaded him not to stick to this, drill the horns, although it is a dilution of shares and equity, but the other party's actual capital is not less, but will increase significantly with the company's listing, which is already benevolent and righteous, they even said that the other party secretly acquired Sanniu shares from them was not bright enough, it was to take advantage of the danger of others, so he didn't need to care at all, without their previous hard work, it would not be possible to have today's Sanniu, this is what they deserve, and he deserves, they just want to get back what belongs to them, why let the other party, a person who came from nowhere, sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman?

Lu Ming thought about it, and finally decided, temptation.

Try it a little, see Jiang Li's reaction, and then make a decision, if Jiang Li doesn't have any special reaction, he will acquiesce that the other party's investment in Sanniu just wants to make money, and he doesn't have much desire to control it, then he is ready to take over Sanniu's control rights, and give a little more dividends to the other party in the future.

Of course, this is a bit of a self-deceptive idea, but this is also the best compromise method that Lu Ming thinks is the best way to compromise after weighing it. (To be continued......)
