Chapter 69: Retreat
At the beginning of the lanterns, Wangfujing Avenue was full of traffic.
There was a roar of engines, and ghostly black Porsche roadsters whizzed around the traffic, causing the driver to scold his mother angrily.
The road was galloping, seeing that there was a crossroads in front of him, Zhang Zhaoyang, who was engrossed, quickly pulled the handbrake, and the whole car drifted to ninety degrees, and quickly headed towards West Chang'an Avenue, which made the driver brothers scold.
The black Porsche Roadster crossed West Chang'an Avenue to Xidan, then to Xidan North Street, Xisi North Street, Xinjiekou South Street, and then turned to the direction of Xizhimennei Street with a beautiful drift, and finally stopped in front of the old courtyard opposite the Lenovo Building with a 'squeak'.
'Vomit and vomit', the chubby Gu Zhenyun rushed out of the car, squatted on the side of the road and vomited wildly, and then scolded in the car. But Zhang Zhaoyang, who lifted the door and got out of the car, was shocked by his words.
"Lao Gu, Frank sent by Yahoo asked the company not to agree, and to write the priority purchase of your Lenovo hardware equipment into the agreement, and required that future equipment procurement must be open to bidding, and the best products with the best price are selected. ”
"Damn, you veto him! Don't you have 49 percent of the vote?"
As soon as he said this, Lao Gu's snow-white face immediately became gloomy, and he roared in a low voice: "Zhang Fox, you can't be too many!"
Zhang Zhaoyang, who had just finished racing, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to show helplessness.
"Lao Gu, it's none of our business, it's just that you are too slow. When I informed Jiaming, I deliberately left enough time for you to sign the contract, if you agreed before me and Yahoo, there would be no such troubles at all. Now Frank doesn't agree, and I can't help it, it's right that I have 49% of the shares, but I can't break the law. ”
Lao Gu immediately remembered that Li Jiaming suddenly withdrew from the negotiation, and roared in a low voice: "Li Jiaming!"
The success rate of the company's listing is almost 100%, and Jiaming still said that he is not interested in controlling the company, so he must return the favor and bear this black pot. Moreover, a win-win plan, Lenovo is always entangled in the 1% of the pre-installed software shares, there is no conspiracy?
"Lao Gu, it's none of his business, he saw that I had successfully raised funds and went out to hide from reporters. Unlike us, he was not interested in corporate control and wanted to go to the United States to get a PhD.
Before we went to Yahoo, we authorized him, and after I negotiated the draft there, the three of them authorized Chen Dong. Yahoo can be reviewed within three days, you haven't signed it until now, and you're still entangled in the 1% shares, who can the blame you? Now I can promise you, that is, when your cost performance is not much different from IBM, I will fully support the purchase of your products.
Lao Gu, Yahoo is not so easy to talk to, if we buy at market price, they will definitely file a lawsuit. Not to mention that we haven't gone public yet, we have to beg them to go to the NASDAQ to list the matter, even if the company is listed, we can't cause this kind of lawsuit. ”
Who the hell can you coax this? Li Jiaming's kid may not be involved, you Zhang Zhaoyang dare to say that he didn't play tricks? Li Jiaming's bastard has never been abroad, and he doesn't know how efficient Silicon Valley is, can you Zhang Fox who has been in the United States for nine years not know? This is a temporary conspiracy! Seeing that Yahoo's $50 million has been negotiated, they are not short of funds, so they have come to take the opportunity to squeeze Lenovo!
The angry old Gu reported the situation, and also made Mr. Qin angry, grabbed the phone and wanted to find Li Jiaming to theorize, but when he dialed the last number, he suddenly put down the microphone again. The success of the company means that the person who even gives up control is a person who can give up selfish distractions in order to take care of the overall situation. Even if that kid has a part in this matter, he can make Zhang Zhaoyang willingly carry the black pot, and it is completely boring to call and question by himself.
Lenovo's cooperation with SOHU can certainly dispose of those slow-selling servers to return funds, but it can also help them pre-install Internet navigation, Chinese search engines, snipe all potential opponents and chasers, and can't say who is cheap. With that kid's eyes, he won't be able to see this, so there is only one explanation, Zhang Zhaoyang is taking advantage of the fire to rob. Li Jiaming's kid is just a twenty-year-old young man, no matter how much he has the city government and the means, it is also the time when he is full of spirit, with the pride of a young man, he can't do this kind of that breaks his word and gets fat.
"Mr. Qin, do you want to stop the negotiation immediately?"
After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Qin, who had a gloomy face, slowly shook his head, and Sohu hit his own life. For the group, the backlog of Wanquan 2200 is a burden that can be taken off as long as it does not affect its reputation. With a heavy financial burden, in exchange for shares of a company that can be listed, and interrupt the negotiations without authorization, in case the other party gives up, it will make the angry directors remove themselves as the general manager!
can't be delayed, the far-sighted Li Jiaming gave up the struggle for control, they are monolithic inside, there is no need to dream a lot at night.
"Forget it, let's sign it tomorrow. This time we lost, and we didn't expect the dignified Dr. MIT to play these tricks too. ”
"Yes"
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Qin said in a deep voice: "Zhenyun, you have to be mentally prepared, they can't do anything about me, what you have is the way." ”
What does it mean that there is a way, and what does it mean that there is no way? To investigate the fault of the general manager of a branch, can he bypass the president of the group? Lao Gu's heart is cold, and he regrets that he should not mix with this mixed water, and he fights for merit and merit, and fights for a big black cauldron!
"Understood".
The next day, the disillusioned Lao Gu put up a little resistance at the negotiation table and signed a draft agreement to acquire a 5% stake in SOHU for $1.2 million and provide free pre-installed software for PCs and laptops.
But what he didn't expect was that when he finished introducing it to the board of directors and submitted it to the directors for review, Mr. Qin, who thought he had given up on him, was criticized and took the case.
"Lao Jia, speak responsibly! Exchanging unsalable equipment for shares is a plan proposed by Gu Zhenyun, not the board of directors!"
Jia Dongle said: "You mean, the board of directors is incompetent? How did I hear that the vice chairman of SOHU once said that he would invest 10 million to build a new company, and he wanted to ask Xiao Gu to be the boss and give back 20% of the shares?"
It's too much, can the wine talk at the wine table be taken seriously? The angry Qin Zong just wanted to sneer at each other, and the familiar sound of 'dong dong dong' sounded.
Chairman Liu, who was sitting in the middle of the oval conference table, tapped the black matte conference table with his fingers, glanced at Jia Dong unhappily, looked around at the other directors and said, "What are your opinions, or are there any other better plans?"
Jia Dong, who was faintly warned, immediately changed his words and said: "No, this plan is very good." ”
This plan is really good, it solves the problem of backlog products, and gets shares in a potential company, and other directors who have no grievances with Mr. Qin also nod.
"Well, that's passed. Yuanqing, meritorious personnel should be appropriately rewarded. ”
"Thank you, Chairman".
The next day, in the grand and atmospheric conference hall of Lenovo Group, Mr. Qin signed a contract with Zhang Zhaoyang, and the flashing lights and microphones surrounded the high-spirited two. The confrontation on the board of directors is not a coincidence, and the preventive shots that Mr. Qin took in advance are just buying people's hearts, and they are all playing with power. Jiaming's kid is right, no matter how well he does, he is just a high-level worker, a pawn in the hands of a big man.
Unconsciously, Lao Gu's eyes looked at Li Jiaming, their three sisters and brothers-in-law, and their brother-in-law. Speaking of which, this kid has the courage to give up control of the company for the better development of the company.
