Chapter 463: Full Investigation
Although Liu De is suspected of deliberately exaggerating the difficulties in order to get more remuneration from Meng Wentian, Meng Wentian also knows that the other party's words are not unreasonable: although the company may collapse soon, they will struggle a little bit before it collapses, and they will definitely not honestly tell all the inside information of the company. Relying only on the identity of a shareholder, he may not be able to make the other party comply, force them and confess in a short period of time.
Meng Wentian's heart pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of another solution, and said: "I don't care about their internal situation, and I don't care how they intrigue, I just want to know about their production and sales of DVD players." Speaking of this, he raised his head and said to Huang Yufei, "Huang Yufei, on the premise of cooperating with Mr. Liu and them to investigate the company's financial situation, most of your energy is spent investigating their production line for the production of DVD players, and seeing with your own eyes whether their production line can produce normally." ”
When Yue Mengjie heard this, she asked, "Wouldn't you want to buy their production line separately and produce your own DVD player in the future?" As she spoke, she put her head to Meng Wentian's ear and asked in a low voice, "...... Are you really so optimistic about this DVD player?"
Only she knew here that Meng Wentian was inexplicably optimistic about this DVD player, and now when she saw him say this, she was more and more surprised.
Meng Wentian nodded and said, "It's really not good, I'll buy their production line separately and set up another production plant." I think I, as a major shareholder, should have a right of first refusal. He turned to Liu De and said, "You can help me ask if their company has any idea of transferring the production line." ”
Liu De looked at Meng Wentian in surprise and asked, "Do you want to buy the production line inside?...... As a major shareholder, you not only have the right of first refusal, but also part of the pricing power and part of the decision to sell the production line. It's just that if you buy it with this status, you may invest more money, and if you buy the production line, the company's economic scale and production strength will definitely decline, which will further weaken the shareholders' expectations for the company's future expectations, and the stock price will fall further, which is contrary to the original intention of you want to raise the stock price. ”
Meng Wentian said: "I don't care. As long as I can take over the production line of the DVD player, as long as I own the technology or patent of the DVD player, I believe that I will be able to make back the money I lost in the stock market in the future. ”
If Lao Tzu really can't make money in the stock market, Lao Tzu will open a business, produce a video player and sell it, and lose money if the stock loses.
Yue Mengjie rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Meng, if you have this plan, it is better for us to make further acquisitions of this company, simply obtain an absolute controlling stake in this company, and then buy more shares from the secondary market." With absolute control, we can reshuffle the board of directors, fire the company's executives, and make the company your own true control. ”
Because of the presence of outsiders, Yue Mengjie did not use her usual name.
Meng Wentian smiled bitterly: "How much money does this cost, how can I have so much money." Even if you raise money to buy the shares, you will still have to produce, purchase raw materials, and reorganize the sales network in the future, and you will need more money. …… Besides, I don't dare to say that the DVD player I produced after I took over will definitely sell well. I only bought a production line to try to produce, that is, the products produced are still not selling, and I have not lost much, and I am confident that I can bear these losses, but I am not sure that I want to cover the losses of a listed company. ”
Yue Mengjie said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, you are wrong...... No, you've forgotten what we're doing now. We are now producing reversing anti-collision radar, if we absolutely control this company, no matter what the production line of the production line of the video player is, we will first arrange for the company to produce the reversing anti-collision radar, with profits, the company's stock price will not rise? As long as the stock price rises, you are still worried that there is no money to buy the production line of the video player? Investing in Jisheng Company is equivalent to us buying the shell of a listed company, how good. ”
If a company wants to go public, it is not a simple matter to go to the stock market to make money, which not only requires the company's public relations, but also needs to spend countless energy, and at the same time, it needs to spend countless funds. Like Jisheng Electronics Co., Ltd., a listed medium-sized enterprise, it is impossible without hundreds of millions of dollars, if Meng Wentian achieves absolute control by buying shares, it is equivalent to saving this expenditure, and do not go through those troublesome actions when listing.
When Meng Wentian heard this, his heart was also moved, and he said to Liu De: "Mr. Liu, what do you think we absolutely control this company?"
Liu De smiled and said, "I'm an outsider, I'm not familiar with your situation, and if you really want to take this step, this is your trade secret, and I have no right to know." However, I can remind you that given the current state of the company, if you really want to take control, you have to do it absolutely, otherwise you will not be able to reshuffle the board of directors of the company smoothly and you will not be able to drive out those useless corporate executives. If these guys continue to stay in the executive position, they will not think that you are here to help them, but that you have taken advantage of their victories in the past, and you are in trouble. ”
Meng Wentian and Yue Mengjie both nodded, thinking that Liu De's worries were very reasonable. A few people began to discuss how to take over the company.
The reason why they talked about these things with the outsider Liu De was not just because they trusted Liu De, on the one hand, because Meng Wentian and Yue Mengjie temporarily thought of this method, which happened to be talked about here, so they naturally went on the interview in front of Liu De. On the other hand, Liu De and they will be fine even if they leak their plan, it is difficult to say whether this plan will be implemented, and the right not to let Jisheng Company produce reversing anti-collision radar is in the hands of Meng Wentian, he said that if he let the other party produce, he would produce, and he said that if he did not let the other party produce, the other party would not be able to produce.
What's more, Meng Wentian invested in the shares of Jisheng Company, and he could sell the stock at any time, and the executives of Jisheng Company couldn't control Meng Wentian at all. If the successful reorganization of the board of directors of Jisheng Company is not realized, and the executives of Jisheng Company who are now fighting in the nest are not removed, Meng Wentian will not implement the next step, and he will not foolishly arrange Jisheng Company to produce reversing anti-collision radar.
Therefore, Meng Wentian and Yue Mengjie talked in front of Liu De and got help from him, a master with rich experience in accounting and finance.
After talking for a while, Liu De said: "For the sake of safety, we also need Mr. Meng's mother to sign us a letter of commitment, which is to promise that you will not sell the stocks you currently hold within a certain period of time." ”
Meng Wentian asked puzzledly, "Why do you want this letter of commitment?"
After signing this letter of commitment, the 61.6 million shares in his hands cannot be sold at will, which is tantamount to putting a shackle on himself, and he is not willing to do it.
Liu De smiled and said, "Are you worried that you can't sell these stocks at any time?" Think about it, what if they don't let us people who investigate their business and financial situation see their internal information on the grounds that their trade secrets are not known to outsiders?"
Meng Wentian understood: although he can now come up with evidence to prove that he is the major shareholder of Jisheng Company, people are worried that after you use this major shareholder identity to obtain the relevant secrets of the company, you will immediately throw away the shares, and the identity of the major shareholder will disappear immediately, which is equivalent to the leakage of the company's relevant secrets to outsiders.
Meng Wentian said: "Then we can sign a confidentiality agreement with them." ”
"If it's a normal company, it's enough for us to sign a confidentiality agreement with them, and people will only worry about whether you leak your secrets and whether you will leak them to competitors, and they won't worry about you throwing away all your shares," Liu said. If you know the company's internal secrets, not only will you not frantically sell the stocks in your hands, but you may collect the company's shares because you see the company's good prospects, and raise the stock price to their advantage. ”
Liu De took a sip of water and said: "However, for a company that is not doing well, they are not only worried about whether you leak secrets, but are worried that you will be scared after reading the secret, and immediately throw away the stocks and run away, then they will be miserable, the stock price has plummeted, they want to throw away the stocks and escape but can't, no one wants to take over their stocks." ”
Seeing that Meng Wentian understood, Liu De said: "Of course, we will insist on only signing a confidentiality agreement first, but if they insist that you show this letter of commitment not to sell your shares in the short term, we will take it out." …… If you have an idea of absolute control of the company, you sign this pledge. ”
Liu De reminded: "If you are not sure whether you want absolute control of this company, then do not sign this commitment, so as not to affect your selling of your shares." And we will fight a lawsuit with them, as long as it takes a long time, our accounting firm can also get the company's inside information, after all, we have this right. This is the right of the majority shareholders given by law, and they can only delay time and cannot reject us completely. ”
Meng Wentian didn't want to delay, and asked, "If that's the case, how long will it take?"
Liu De said: "It depends on the extent of their tricks and the determination of our side." Maybe they are decent men and gentlemen, and as soon as we sign the confidentiality agreement, they let us know all the secrets. Maybe they're just scoundrels, and they just don't show us it.
