Volume II, Chapter 115: The Harvest
On this day, before the market opened, the Tianhai Stock Exchange issued an announcement: in view of the fact that the outstanding shares of the North Railway Group are less than 35% of the total number of shares of the enterprise, if within three days, the guarantee of increasing the outstanding shares to 35% within 15 days cannot be made, the North Railway Group will be forced to delist.

There are many companies that are forced to delist every year, but most of them are long-term loss-making companies, or those that have filed for bankruptcy. There have been cases of delisting because the outstanding shares are less than the prescribed proportion, but they are all smaller enterprises. It's easier for small businesses to be re-privatized.
Although the stock price of Beitie Group has fallen to a relatively low price, the total market value is still more than 400 billion, and this market value is definitely underestimated, because those fixed assets are more than this number.
Ma Kangcheng had already had a premonition of this result the night before yesterday. Zhuang Bifan and Ming Ziluo jointly convened the news of those institutions that held the shares of the North Railway Group, and he received it as soon as possible through some people with better connections.
It's just that he doesn't have the slightest way about it. Those institutions are actually partnerships, and no matter how good the relationship with his Ma family is, it is impossible for those institutions to give up the bait given by Zhuang Bifan. And if Zhuang Bifan's threat comes true, continuing to hold the shares of North Railway will only make them lose more. Even the shares of the North Railway Group in hand may become waste paper. No one would dare to take that risk.
If he wants to sell the shares to the Ma family, his Ma family cannot give the corresponding price. Ma Kangcheng could only watch Zhuang Bifan buy all the stocks in those people's hands.
Originally, he was still lucky, thinking that even the shares in the hands of the Ming family and Zhuang Bifan were only 39% at most. However, before the stock market closed yesterday afternoon, the Beijing Railway Group received a formal notification letter from the Tianhai Stock Exchange, saying that the outstanding shares of the Beijing Railway Group had been as low as 7% and would enter the preparatory delisting process.
It didn't take long for the North Rail Group to receive a shareholding certificate from Zhuang Bifan through a lawyer, asking to join the board of directors: Zhuang Bifan held 56.78% of the shares, becoming the largest shareholder of the North Rail Group. This requirement is almost automatic.
At this time, if he still didn't understand what was going on, he would have lived in vain for more than fifty years. He knows that the current North Railway Group is no longer surnamed Ma.
However, he thought that Zhuang Bifan would immediately ask for a board meeting to re-elect the chairman. But the other party didn't move, as if he just sent a statement: Now I am qualified to discuss all of your affairs, remember to inform me if there is anything.
Ma Kangcheng is still sitting in the position of chairman. But he no longer had the power to do anything. Zhuang Bifan's shares are more than half, he does not nod, and any decision of the board of directors cannot be passed.
Now he also understands Zhuang Bifan's plan, which is to wait for the North Railway Group to be forced to delist. Then avoid the shareholders' meeting and take full control of the North Rail Group through the board of directors.
Once the company is delisted, Zhuang Bifan can distribute the shares to several companies, and then each company will have a director, and as long as the number of these shareholders exceeds the existing directors, the number of shares and directors can be more than half. In that way, Zhuang Bifan would be able to fully control the North Railway Group.
In his opinion, in the North Railway Group, the Ma family is a general trend. Although he was unwilling, he couldn't do anything about it now. However, for the Ma family, it is not a total loss. He felt that since Zhuang Bifan had won the North Railway, he would definitely let the North Railway use AYBY. As long as the North Railway can come back to life, the shares of the North Railway held by the Ma family can recover some of my losses.
So he has been waiting for Zhuang Bifan to take the initiative to negotiate with him. But Zhuang Bifan didn't wait, but waited for a piece of news that made him angry.
His special assistant brought him a piece of news with a look of horror: "The Imperial Bank is collecting the debts due from other enterprises of the Ma family. ”
If it is a normal year, the Ma family will be able to repay the debts on time. But now that banks around the world are tightening their monetary policies, it is difficult for the Ma family to turn over loans. The Ma family's main profit point, the rapid shrinkage of the real estate industry, has made it difficult for the Ma family to repay its debts. The Imperial Bank, which belongs to the royal family, collects debts at this time, if there is no Ming family's hands and feet, Ma Kangcheng is willing to cut off his head and give Ming Ziluo a ball to kick.
However, although he was shocked and annoyed, he did not show it: "Got it." You go out first! ”
After the special assistant went out, he first called the close senior management of the Imperial Bank to confirm that the debt collection was indeed an order from the royal family. He knew that there was no chance of communicating with the Imperial Bank.
But Huaxia is not just a bank in the Imperial Bank. But he made a few more calls, and his face grew darker and darker. Now all banks are saying they don't have the money to borrow.
He was on the phone when the secretary knocked on the door and came in and said, "Mr. Ma, there is a Miss Sima who claims to be the plenipotentiary representative of Mr. Zhuang Bifan, and she said she wants to see you!" ”
It's finally here? Ma Kangcheng's face was cloudy, and he said after a while: "Let her come in!" ”
Sima Yun walked into Ma Kangcheng's luxurious office with a smile on her face, and without waiting for the other party to speak, she sat directly on a seat in front of the desk, took out a document, and said, "Mr. Ma, this is my power of attorney." Bi Fan has carte blanche to entrust me to handle the affairs of the North Railway Group on his behalf. Please take a look! ”
Ma Kangcheng glanced at the woman who almost became his daughter-in-law, and took the document with a gloomy face. There is a certificate of Zhuang Bifan's shares, a power of attorney, and the procedures are very complete. But when he saw the contents, his eyes froze, he slowly closed the document, and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Mr. Zhuang only owns 56.78% of the shares of North Railway. It says 69.34%, is this a mistake? ”
Sima Yun showed a smile and said, "The number Mr. Ma said is yesterday. Yesterday, the other six directors of the North Railway Group have sold their shares to Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. Zhuang has absorbed about 1.5% of the shares in the stock market. So this is the latest number of shares held by Mr. Chong. ”
Ma Kangcheng looked at her smile without any pleasing feeling. He took a deep breath and said, "What do you want?" Want to remove me from power? ”
Sima Yun put away the document and said: "Mr. Ma is highly respected and has made great contributions to the development of the Northern Railway. Of course, Bifan would not have such thoughts. Before I came, he told me that as long as Mr. Ma still holds a stock of North Railway, he will not seek the position of chairman. ”
Ma Kangcheng was not only not satisfied with her words, but was even more angry in his heart. Is this forcing him to sell all the shares of the North Rail Group? Zhuang Bifan wants to completely kick the Ma family out of the North Railway. The North Railway was run by the Ma family for hundreds of years. If the Ma family is kicked out, it will not only be a shame for him, but also a shame for the Ma family.
Sima Yun didn't seem to see his eyes that had become red, and still smiled and said: "But Bifan also said that now the North Railway Group is in a state of serious loss, and it may still be in a loss in the future." So he felt that in order to make up for the losses during this period, he should not consider dividends for ten years after the turnaround. ”
"Don't you think!" Ma Kangcheng roared under his breath. What he said was that he didn't want to kick the Ma family out of the game.
Sima Yun didn't seem to understand, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Ma doesn't agree with Bifan's suggestion, then let's discuss it in the board of directors." ”
Even if Ma Kangcheng transforms into a roaring emperor, Sima Yun can keep the wind calm. Zhuang Bifan's shares can decide anything, and he said that if there is no dividend in ten years, it will be impossible for the North Railway Group to pay dividends. A company that cannot pay dividends is useless to hold more shares. Zhuang Bifan did not take over the North Railway Group, in fact, he was showing his attitude, and AYBY still could not be used. If the North Railway wants to continue to operate, it is still surviving until it goes bankrupt. In the end, it had to be reorganized. And the person in charge of the restructuring is, of course, Zhuang Bifan, who holds the most shares.
Ma Kangcheng's chest was violent, and he seemed to be angry. However, he was not confused by the anger, now Zhuang Bifan has more than two-thirds of the shares, and the delisting is inevitable, and in the end, it can be decided in a word, and he does not even need to disperse the shares and get a few directors to completely control the North Railway.
Even if he is the chairman, no matter what the matter is in the future, Zhuang Bifan can even decide directly without going through the motions with him. As for the internal functioning, it is enough to reappoint obedient people.
Sima Yun just came to show his attitude this time, and when he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Then we will have a board vote in the afternoon." Mr. Ma, you are busy, I won't disturb your work. ”
When she walked out of the office, Ma Kangcheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the computer screen and threw it out. However, he can only be angry like this.
Sima Yun left Ma Kangcheng's office, took a light step, and left the top floor of the North Railway Group building under the eyes of those employees, and in the elevator, she took out the phone and dialed Zhuang Bifan's phone.
At this time, Zhuang Bifan had already gone to Aurora Island. The day before yesterday, he had signed contracts with those institutions, and the contract included a clause that he needed to provide them with the equipment to produce records as soon as possible.
Now it is only the first record, and more than 20 billion purchase orders have been distributed. If there is not enough production capacity, Huaxia Empire does not know when it will be able to fulfill those orders. However, he had asked Hei Yan to produce that kind of equipment in advance. He also went to Aurora Island this time, in order to show that he could go if he wanted to.
He didn't go to Heiyan's side this time, and he still needs to recover here for a while before he can pass, otherwise it will affect his body. He waited on Aurora Island for the equipment to be counted and loaded onto the ship. All of this equipment has to be shipped to Tianhai, and although the directors of those institutions and the directors of Beitie who sold shares to him are not all in Tianhai, it seems that it is more convenient to transport them to Tianhai now.
These machines are small machines, and they are not very big. But the production efficiency is very high. Just pour in the raw materials for the production of the records, such as all kinds of plastics, and then in one process, from the production of the discs to the burning, the machine is controlled by a central computer, and each machine can fill 600 records per hour. This speed is much smaller than those large filling lines, but the price of such a production line can buy at least ten such machines, and the floor area is probably more than ten times.
The machines will be loaded into standard containers and transported to Tianhai, and when they arrive in Tianhai, they will be transported directly by truck to the factory where they are needed. There are 800 machines to be shipped this time, and 100 of them are going to be sent to the Kim Records production company. The capacity there is still too low.
When Sima Yun's call came in, he was still thinking about how to distribute these machines.
He answered the phone and said with a smile, "Miss me?" ”
"I think a little." Sima Yun said with a grin on the phone. "I've just met Ma Kangcheng. He was so angry! ”
"It's fine if you're okay!" He doesn't care what other people's mood is. "How did he react?"
"Of course you won't be caught. Maybe we won't be able to sit still! ”
He put away his smile and said, "Then you pay attention to safety!" You've been tired lately, so take a few days off and let him calm down first. He came to Aurora Island, and Sima Yun took the blank contract he gave to the directors of the North Railway and persuaded them to sell him the shares. It only took Sima Yun one day to get most of the shares from those directors except for him and the Ma family. Although she said it lightly, he knew it would not be easy.
"I'll take notice. You also have to pay attention to your body. Okay, the elevator has arrived, I'll hang up first! ”
