Chapter 340: Squeezing cash flow

readx; "We're sitting here speculating about which company Pang Guofan has acquired, but it's just to get ahead of him, so that we can continue to guess what he's going to do to us. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, even if we really guessed, I am afraid that it is too late to stop him now, and he will still do what he should do, and his layout time is much longer than ours. And although Pang Guofan is a small person with bad means, I believe you all know enough about him, at least he is actually very good at business methods, so I don't think we can stop him even if we already know what he wants to do. Rather than that, let's stop speculating about which company he acquired, and he'll tell us in half an hour and tell all the media in the room, and then the whole country will know. ”

When everyone heard Ling Meng's words, they all nodded, indeed, including Shi Lei, in fact, when they were speculating about what Pang Guofan was going to do just now, they already had a sense of powerlessness. It's just that he is not a god after all, and he can't put himself out of the way, so he doesn't see it as thoroughly as Ling Meng.

"But is it because of this that we don't think of any countermeasures at all? Pang Guofan must want to pull down the Stone Group, and then let more companies participate in the design and formulation of solutions for the entire network......" A senior manager in the industry immediately asked.

Ling Meng made an affirmative gesture: "Manager Tang is right, although we can't know Pang Guofan's specific methods, but we know that he must want to participate in the network design and the formulation of solutions." In fact, what he can do is not to weaken our influence, but to greatly enhance his influence and brand value. After all, we are the company that signed the solution provision agreement with Unicom, and he can't change that, he's just trying to get involved. And at today's signing ceremony, one of our company executives took several employees...... Maybe some middle managers will move to their company, how can that affect us? Perhaps Pang Guofan's true purpose has been revealed. ”

Shi Lei frowned and said: "Are you saying that Pang Guofan's purpose is actually to create an illusion for the media and other companies, even including Unicom, that is, any company can plant commercial spies in our company, and even directly poach high-level executives to leave, so as to learn our company's technical secrets?" ”

This is a strong implication, although he is only bringing the administrative head of the company's group headquarters today, but once this gap is opened, it will create a great illusion for other companies, as if our company's entire personnel management system is full of loopholes, and all peers have a chance to take advantage of it. In fact, he may not really expect other companies to poach and send commercial espionage to cause us much trouble, after all, we can also do the opposite, with the foundation of the Unicom project, we have actually stood in the first camp of the domestic network solution industry. Even if there was no Pang Guofan to stir up the situation, this kind of thing would not have been less. This has always been something that Mr. He and I have been emphasizing, and we must pay attention to the recruitment of new employees in the core positions of the core departments to prevent microscopic problems. Therefore, Pang Guofan's most real purpose is actually to hope that we will doubt each other and mess with ourselves, especially in playing psychological warfare with Shi Shaoyou, wanting you to lose trust in your subordinates first. ”

Shi Lei nodded, looked at Ling Meng, and fully understood what Ling Meng meant. In the end, this woman came out of a complete political family, and her business methods can only be said to be average, just like Shi Lei asked her to take on the burden of the administrative department at the beginning today, Shi Lei has always thought that she is more suitable for administrative and personnel work, rather than following He Cailan to open up the market. But the relationship between people is an unmarried couple, and Shi Lei is always bad at beating mandarin ducks, so he didn't make this request.

"Continue ......"

"If we can reach a consensus on this point, then in fact, we can completely ignore Pang Guofan, if he moves him, we just don't move. Moreover, I just analyzed Pang Guofan's financial strength, in fact, we only need a few counterattacks to make him mess up first. ”

Ling Meng raised the information in his hand, "Most people haven't read this information yet, but in fact, there is no need to read it, it is nothing more than the technological trends, patents and performance reports of the three companies in recent years." None of this really matters, what matters is the market valuation of these three companies. Mr. Duan has mentioned just now that the scale of these three companies is basically around 300 million, so whether Pang Guofan buys one of these companies through a wholly-owned acquisition or capital injection, he needs to use at least 300 million to 400 million funds.

Personally, I prefer that Pang Guofan will adopt the former way, although the latter way can increase the company's plate in a short period of time and enhance its soft power, but the disadvantages are also obvious, I won't go into details, you are all professionals in this area. If it is a wholly-owned acquisition, I am afraid that the funds he needs to use will be higher than the market value, even if it is not higher than 400 million, it will never be lower than this number, and the allocation of management shares and technology stocks alone may occupy a large amount of his funds. If this behavior is the decision of the Caizi Group, then we really need to worry about it, after all, the scale of the entire Caizi Group is still above us, and the development is much better than ours.

However, this is Pang Guofan's personal behavior, and he used his own funds to successfully acquire - I have no doubt about this, after the failure of Genesis Media, it is difficult for Caizi Group to agree to him using the group's funds to make such a big move, especially when the expected return risk is large. Then, Pang Guofan has actually suffered a big injury, cash flow is one of his weaknesses, and we have the easiest way to fight back. ”

Song Yin's net worth is about more than a billion, but in order to ensure his identity and rights and interests as the first shareholder of Caizi Group, the personal funds he can use will not exceed 500 million, and cash flow is indeed his weakness. But what if, I mean, Pang Guofan is desperate and adopts the method of capital injection, in order to obtain the qualification to control that company, rather than a wholly-owned acquisition? Then they have a good cash flow. It was Lu Tong who spoke, when Shi Lei exposed Li Xiongfei's conspiracy, he was a representative sent by the company in Yanxian County, a manager with a background in state-owned enterprises, Shi Lei has always retained him, including his nephew Xiong Hongwei. Today, he is the director of the Fengchi Electronic Technology Factory established after the merger of the company and the factory in Yanxian and the general manager of the Yanxian R&D Center.

"Pang Guofan doesn't dare!" Shi Lei stood up, waved his hand, and said with a confident smile: "Pang Guofan, this person, can't tolerate people, his surname is suspicious, he can give Sun Jun 7% of the management shares, which means that he must be wholly acquired." This time, in addition to Sun Jun, he also poached a few people from our company, and those people should have a little bit of management shares. It is expected that the total management shares will be between 15% and 20%, so he needs to hold at least 65% of the shares to feel at ease, with the funds in his hands, relying on the way of injection, he will not get more than 60% of the shares. Which of you would believe that he really trusted Sun Jun? Sun Jun has always been just a pawn he uses to strike a definite blow at me, or a means he uses to tell his peers that we are full of holes. Although Pang Guofan dared to take risks, he would never dare to take such a risk in this matter. Moreover, if he really does this, he will probably be able to control barely 60% of the shares with his funds, and with the management shares allotted, he should only have less than 45% of the shares in his hands. It's easier to do. ”

In the small conference room, because of Shi Lei's words, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and everyone laughed.

Duan Qinglai knocked on the table and said with a smile: "It seems that Shi Shao knows him better as an opponent, presumably when he came to smash the field, he had already figured out the old background of Pang Guofan." ”

Naturally, everyone laughed again.

"It looks like we should all come to an agreement, so let's put a burden on them when Pang Guofan announces that he's joined. Squeezing their cash flow, that's our goal. I will negotiate with Mr. Fang about this matter. Unicom should support us to a certain extent. "The countermeasures have actually come out, since the purpose of Pang Guofan is always to seize a larger share, so as to weaken the influence of the Stone Group, then it is better to reduce the shares of all companies before the agreement is signed, and add it to Pang Guofan together. Anyway, except for Datang's share, which must not be moved, there is an interval in the cooperation agreements of other companies, and the share is reasonably reduced within the range, and other companies should not have any opinions, even if they have opinions, they are only aimed at Pang Guofan. Of course, the premise is that Unicom will cooperate, and now Unicom is in charge of this project, and it is possible to predict what kind of actions Fang Zida will make.

Jiang Shu suddenly opened his mouth: "Since it has already moved, then you might as well hit them harder, I have been coveting those market shares of Genesis Media for a long time, Shi Shi, give me a chance to swallow them." ”

"You won't let go of the more than 10 percent of the market?" Zhu Feng is the one who knew Jiang Shu relatively early, although the two have almost no intersection in business, it does not prevent him from teasing Jiang Shu.

"The market redevelopment of the first and second tier cities is also limited, every year there are always a few new buildings, the market of the third tier city is our main body in the future, especially the large electrical appliance stores, this I am really greedy! Now Gome and Suning are very ambiguous, and they seem to be biased towards Genesis Media intentionally or unintentionally, and they have hinted to me several times that they want us to make our actions more aggressive towards Genesis Media. I have always considered that it is not beneficial to harm others and myself, and in the end it was Gome and Suning that were cheaper, so I didn't dare to act rashly, and now since Pang Guofan's cash flow will soon have problems, it's okay to rob while it's hot. "Jiang Shu is leisurely.

"Then you're not afraid to cheapen them now?" Duan Qinglai couldn't help but tease him.

Jiang Shu laughed: "Is it cheap, everyone makes money, I am ready to raise the prices of major stores, and it will depend on whether Gome and Su Ning are willing to cooperate!" ”

"Haha, they're definitely willing, and quite willing!" He Cailan summed up with a smile, but many people present felt a tightness in their hearts because of He Cailan's words, this is a war that will affect another battlefield, if it is not good, the talented group will be greatly injured because of Pang Guofan's actions this time.

Shi Lei pondered for a while, and then said to Jiang Shu: "Caizi Group has always been a large group enterprise in Wudong, and it has helped the local economy quite a lot. Mr. Jiang, it doesn't matter if you eat Genesis Media, but don't mention it again in the future if you let Suning and Gome benefit. ”

Jiang Shu could hear the weight of Shi Lei's words, and immediately understood what he meant. The counterattack against Pang Guofan, even if it was the final acquisition of his Genesis Media, was Pang Guofan's own fault, and it was also a clear business behavior. However, if Suning and Gome are united to manipulate the Caizi Group, it will be because of the opposition in Jiangdong's political circles, no matter how much Bian Wei supports Shi Lei, it will be impossible to support him in this matter. Politically, what needs to be considered is the interests of Jiangdong Province, not fattening others and losing themselves, even if it is a left-handed change of right hand, how many interests of politicians does a talented group represent?

"Hehe, just kidding, Shi Shao, don't take it too seriously." Jiang Shu smiled awkwardly, even the title changed, and Shi Shi became Shi Shao.

Shi Lei nodded: "It's just a joke." After that, he glanced at Jiang Shu.

"Since everyone agrees with Manager Ling's opinion, then our strategy has been decided for the time being. I will discuss with Mr. Fang immediately, and you should hurry down to deal with those media. It is estimated that they are all wondering at this time, how did the people of our stone group disappear en masse. ”

Shi Lei took out his mobile phone and dialed Fang Zida, while the others left the small conference room one after another and returned to where they should have been.

After Fang Zida received Shi Lei's call, he quickly came up, and after entering the door, he asked Shi Lei, who was sitting on the chair, with a smile: "What's wrong?" Have you found a solution? ”

"Almost, it's an analysis of what Pang Guofan wants. It's just a little bit that I don't understand, in fact, he can't do this to hit me very hard, is it just to vent on the surface? ”

Fang Zida sat down in the position next to Shi Lei: "I also analyzed it just now, and I really can't think of anything that can form a fatal blow to you for the time being, mainly because you now represent the common interests of the Stone Group and our Unicom, and even Datang, and the same is true for other participating companies, he will never dare to be the enemy of the world, unless he really wants to destroy the Caizi Group." That's only the soft knife, which gradually makes you a thorn in the side of other companies. Or because of the asymmetry of information, he didn't know that the relationship between you and Datang was so delicate, and probably thought that Datang regarded you as a thorn in the flesh. ”

Hearing Fang Zida's words, Shi Lei suddenly became enlightened: "It's really that the information is not equal, sometimes the information capacity is too large, but I have forgotten how he would make a judgment in the situation of Pang Guofan's serious lack of information." Lao Fang, what you said is really to the point, and I finally understand why Pang Guofan did this. Eroded the control of the Stone Group, and then he got a small part of the profits, developed a part that was not involved in the transformation of the Caizi Group, and finally cashed out the money of the board of directors from the Caizi Group at a high price to make his own profits. Datang has gained more benefits, dumped our stone group, and even produced a head-on confrontation in cooperation, and the stone group is obviously inferior to Datang in terms of scale and political support. This is Pang Guofan's real wishful thinking! ”

"I'm going to charge for information!" Fang Zida quipped.

Shi Lei rolled his eyes: "Gave your wife a girlfriend who will never betray you, isn't that enough for you to steal fun?" ”

Fang Zida touched his chin self-deprecatingly: "My wife, she really does everything in this regard, you have to talk to Xiaoyuan, you can't hide everything from her, there are some normal social interactions, you might as well deliberately reveal a little, and she feels that she can't get too much information from Xiaoyuan's mouth, so she thinks of other ways." ”

Shi Lei laughed and said, "Xiaoyuan is now your assistant, isn't it better for you to say it yourself?" ”

"I always feel like I'm teaching a bad little girl, that girl is really good." Fang Zida sighed with emotion, as if he felt that Shi Lei's luck was really good, and with a casual bump, he could actually meet a girl like Han Xiaoyuan like a blank sheet of paper.

"It's useless to be envious, I'll pay attention to it for you when I go back, if there is a girl like Xiaoyuan, prepare one for you."

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me first, how are you going to deal with Pang Guofan? I forgot about the business. ”

Shi Lei smiled and told Fang Zida about the general conclusion reached at the previous meeting, and then said: "This requires your cooperation, I estimate that Pang Guofan will definitely have to do something before signing the contract, and if he is not high-profile, it is not his surname." Once his company is confirmed, it is appropriate to add a little burden to him. ”

"Squeezing cash flow? Let him take care of himself? And then at the right time, you Stone Group proposed a full takeover of his company? ”

Shi Lei restrained his smile and slowly shook his head: "I didn't think that far ahead, but it's good to let him take care of himself." But you can't just destroy a company like this, let's talk about it then, if the company has already been listed, I will still buy it, and after the reorganization, I will throw the shell to the company in need and let them go public through the backdoor. It would be a pity if it wasn't listed, and if it didn't make a good fuss, it would cause them too much internal friction because of the battle between me and Pang Guofan, and finally the company collapsed on its own. I really don't want that, believe it or not? ”
