Chapter 1154 Acquisition of Hailong Group
Although the company has paid social security for them, if there is a commercial insurance, it is really an extra protection for them.
Six thousand yuan is indeed a lot of money for employees, almost equivalent to a month's salary for employees.
But this money is nothing to Liu Tao at all. As long as the employees can work hard, his rewards are much more than that.
Soon, all the contracts were signed, and the money was directly transferred to the insurance company's account.
"Mr. Liu, are you free at night? I would like to invite you and Mr. Fan to dinner as a token of appreciation. Manager Peng asked.
"I'm sorry." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "I already have an appointment for the evening."
"It doesn't matter. We'll meet again when you're free. A look of disappointment appeared on Manager Peng's face. You must know that she admires Liu Tao very much. In the past, she saw Liu Tao on TV or in the newspaper, but now that she finally sees the real person, the excitement in her heart can be imagined.
"Hmm." Liu Tao nodded, and said to Fan Wenjuan, "You send one to Manager Peng."
"No, I don't. We'll just go on our own. Manager Peng said.
"You are guests, we are the Lord, how can there be a reason why the Lord does not send guests." Liu Tao smiled slightly and said.
When Manager Peng saw him say this, he didn't say anything more at the moment, and let Fan Wenjuan send them downstairs.
"Mr. Fan, I can see that you and Mr. Liu are definitely not ordinary friends. The baby in your belly is supposed to be his, right? Manager Peng asked.
"Lili, there are no outsiders here, so we don't need to be so polite when we talk to each other. To be honest, this child is indeed Liu Tao's. Fan Wenjuan replied.
"Sister Juan, you really found a superb boyfriend. Do you know how many girls outside now dream of marrying Liu Tao, I guess I can't get from here to the bus station. It's a pity that I don't have the blessing of you, and the husband I found is just a small business. Can you ask Liu Tao to help our family in the future? Peng Liyang begged.
"If I'm not mistaken, your husband must have owned a bathing center. How? Is business bad? Fan Wenjuan asked.
"Business is average. You should also know that most of the bathing centers in Binjiang City were opened by Zhao Gang and his subordinates, so the business was basically robbed by them. If Liu Tao can help, I believe that the business of the bathing center will definitely be much better. After all, employees of companies like you can come to us for health care. Peng Li said.
"I'm afraid I can't really help with this." Fan Wenjuan said with some embarrassment.
"Why? Aren't we good friends? Don't you even want to help with that? Peng Li's face changed slightly and asked.
"It's not that I won't help. Do you know what the relationship between Zhao Gang and Liu Tao is? Fan Wenjuan asked.
"This ...... I really don't know. Peng Li said this and asked: "Could it be that Zhao Gang and Liu Tao are also good friends?" ”
"Zhao Gang's ability to have today is all due to Liu Tao. If your husband thinks that business is not good, he can do something else. Fan Wenjuan said.
"Something else? He doesn't have much culture, what can he do? Peng Li asked.
"I think I can be an auto parts supplier. You can also take care of it with him when the time comes. Fan Wenjuan thought for a moment and said.
"You mean to supply spare parts to DPCA Automobile Manufacturing Company? Will it work? Peng Li asked.
"As long as the quality of the things you make is good and the price is reasonable, it will definitely work." Fan Wenjuan said.
"Sister Juan, are you very familiar with the CEO of Shenlong Automobile Manufacturing Company? Or you should say hello to the other person in advance. If you make money, I'll give you dividends. Peng Li said.
"I still say that, as long as the quality of the accessories is excellent and the price is reasonable, DPCA will definitely want your products. If the accessories you produce are not good, DPCA will not want them. Fan Wenjuan said.
Peng Li didn't speak, just nodded. She has known Fan Wenjuan for so many years, and she can be regarded as knowing this person very well. If she is not sure, the other party will never let her do it. Right now, the most important thing she needs to do is go home and discuss with her husband to see how to set up a company that produces auto parts.
The two said goodbye at the door downstairs.
"Call me when you and Liu Tao have time, and I'll invite you to dinner." Peng Li said.
"Yes." Fan Wenjuan nodded.
Then, Peng Li left here with her staff.
Fan Wenjuan then returned to the president's office.
"Ah Tao, I want to discuss something with you." Fan Wenjuan sat down next to Liu Tao, took his arm, and said.
"I guess this has something to do with Manager Peng." Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Huh? How did you guess? Fan Wenjuan asked.
"I've been here for a while, and if you have something to discuss with me, you don't have to wait until now." Liu Tao said.
"Just now Peng Li told me that her husband's current bathing center is not doing well, and she wants me to help and let the company's employees and customers go there to consume." Fan Wenjuan said.
"Did you say yes?" Liu Tao asked.
"Nope." Fan Wenjuan shook her head and said, "I am now entertaining customers in a brilliant way. I'm not a fool, how can I turn my elbow outward. ”
"How's her relationship with you? If it's a good friend, it's not impossible to share some business with her husband. Liu Tao asked.
"I'm an alumnus of her, one level above her. The relationship has always been good. Before we knew you, the two of us used to go shopping together. Fan Wenjuan replied.
"Then just help her husband. Or I'll say hello to Zhao Gang and find some business for him. Liu Tao said.
"No, you don't." Fan Wenjuan waved her hand and said, "I'm going to let her make auto parts." ”
"Car parts? Do you want them to be a supplier to DPCA? Liu Tao asked.
"yes. With such a large output of automobiles, even if you are a supplier of small accessories, you can make a lot of money. Fan Wenjuan replied.
"It's okay to be a supplier. But did the two of them have any experience in this kind of business before? If not, it's better to buy or take a stake in a similar company. Liu Taojian said.
"They're definitely measured in this. If the quality of the production is not good, the company can not do it. Fan Wenjuan said.
"Yes. You can just talk to Tangshan about this matter. I'm not going to call him. Liu Tao said.
"Yes."
"Sister Juan, if you are preparing for marriage these days, don't come to work in the company." Liu Tao instructed.
"Okay." Fan Wenjuan nodded and asked, "Do we need to invite colleagues when we get married?" ”
"Nope." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "The marriage ceremony is held in the villa anyway, so I plan to invite only family members." ”
"Good. Listen to you. Fan Wenjuan said.
"I know a lot of people want to come to our wedding. If you really come to all of them, I'm afraid it won't be enough to charter the largest hotel in Binjiang City. Besides, marriage is a private matter for us, and it is enough to invite family members. Liu Tao said.
"Yes. As long as you're by my side, it's okay. Fan Wenjuan nodded and said.
At this time, Liu Tao's mobile phone rang.
The call was made by Zhang Mingqing.
"Mr. Liu, didn't bother you, did you?" As soon as the phone was connected, Zhang Mingqing said on the other end of the phone.
"Nope." Liu Tao said.
"That's good. I was supposed to call you last night, but I didn't call considering you might have rested. I gathered the shareholders of Hailong Group for a long meeting, and finally settled the matter. Zhang Mingqing said.
"It seems that the shareholders of Hailong Group have agreed to sell their shares?" Liu Tao guessed.
"Yes. When are you available? Let's sign the contract for sale. Zhang Mingqing said.
"I'm free right now. Can you sign a contract for sale now? If you can, you can come over or I'll do it. Liu Tao said.
"Absolutely. However, we have a lot of people here, so it's best if you can come and visit. Zhang Mingqing said.
"No problem. I'm going to leave for the island city now. You have the contract ready. Liu Tao said.
"Yes." Zhang Mingqing said.
When she hung up the phone, Fan Wenjuan asked, "There is finally news from Hailong Group?" ”
"yes." Liu Tao nodded and said, "The shareholders of Hailong Group finally agreed to sell their shares. ”
"If you sign a contract, you have to pay the purchase price within three days. We should only have about 30 billion on our books now. Fan Wenjuan said.
"New drugs have already begun to be sold, and it shouldn't be a problem to get together 20 billion in three days. If the other party is really in a hurry, then I can use 20 billion from somewhere else. Liu Tao said.
"From somewhere else?" Fan Wenjuan was a little puzzled.
"yes. There are so many companies under my name, it shouldn't be a problem to come up with 20 billion. Besides, isn't there still Zorro and his son? You know, they're super-rich, and they have a lot of money in their hands. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"They do have a lot of money in their hands. After all, they sold General Motors to you, and they cashed out a lot of money. Fan Wenjuan nodded and said.
"Well, there's no need to worry. You're pregnant now, and it's not appropriate to run this distance. Otherwise, I will call Sister Xueqing and ask her to accompany me. Liu Tao said.
"Yes. I'll find you two more lawyers who are proficient in contracts, so that the other party's contract doesn't have a lot of tricks in it. Fan Wenjuan said.
"Okay." Liu Tao readily agreed. Although he knew that Zhang Mingqing and the others would not dare to fool him, it was better to be cautious. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!
Then, Liu Tao called Xia Xueqing and asked her to prepare and go to the island city together.
Soon, Fan Wenjuan found two senior lawyers. These lawyers are the legal counsel of the future investment company, and they have some in-depth research on the contract text.
Liu Tao drove home with two lawyers, picked up Xia Xueqing and rushed to the island city together.
Along the way, Liu Tao talked to Xia Xueqing very little. After all, there are two irrelevant people in the car, and there are some things that cannot be said nonsense.
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. In case they say something that they shouldn't say and it is passed on by the other party, it won't be good for everyone at that time.
An hour and a half later, Liu Tao and his entourage appeared in front of Zhang Mingqing and others.
The conference room was packed. All of these people are shareholders of Hailong Group. From the number of shareholders, it is enough to see that the shareholder structure of Hailong Group is indeed very complex.
Since these shareholders have to sell their shares, Liu Tao needs to sign contracts with them one by one.
Fortunately, the contract has been prepared, as long as Liu Tao thinks that there is no problem after looking at it, both parties can sign it.
"I don't need to introduce it to you, I believe everyone knows who this person is." Zhang Mingqing said to the shareholders of Hailong Group.
"Of course I do. The famous Liu Tao, no one knows who doesn't know. Someone said.
"Mr. Liu, if it weren't for the acquisition you wanted, we would definitely not sell it. You are a good person, so we are willing to sell our shares to you. One of the shareholders said.
"Thank you." Liu Tao said.
"Mr. Liu, we don't have any other requirements, we just hope that you can treat these old employees of the company well. They have been in the company for so many years, and they have always been diligent, don't drive them away. ”
"The company is not charity, if it is really not suitable to stay in the company, I will try to arrange for them to go to another company. Or just let them retire early. Liu Tao thought for a moment and said.
"That's good."
At this time, the two lawyers brought by Liu Tao were already looking through the contract. They will discuss the details of the contract with Liu Tao and then make appropriate amendments.
In the end, after all the contracts were revised, a new contract was printed, and then Liu Tao signed the contract with these shareholders of Hailong Group.
According to the terms of the contract, the purchase price will be paid to the account provided by each shareholder within three days.
"Mr. Liu, Hailong Group is a listed company. The shares you are now buying account for 90 percent of all the shares in the group, and the other 10 percent are in the stock market. Are you planning to buy back the remaining 10 percent? After the transaction was completed, Zhang Mingqing asked.
"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and said, "I will let Hailong Group delist." ”
"Sure enough, it was exactly what I expected. You have a lot of money in your hands now, and you won't care about the money you get from the company's listing, and delisting is inevitable. Zhang Mingqing said.
"I'd love to make money with investors, but I don't want to be told by anyone. When the company is delisted, I will hand over all the power to the president of the group. Liu Tao said.
"Will Yang Minmin still be the president?" Zhang Mingqing asked a sensitive question.
"It's not." Liu Tao shook his head.
"Do you already have a more suitable person in mind?" Zhang Mingqing asked with a smile.
"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and said, "I am ready to invite Chen Feiyan, the general manager of Hualong Group, to come over and serve as the president of the group. ”
"Chen Feiyan? That Iron Lady? Zhang Mingqing was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Yes. Chen Feiyan's iron-fisted methods are known to everyone. Hailong Group is now anxious for such a leader. Liu Tao said.
"I have met Chen Feiyan a few times, and she is indeed a woman with a very strong style. But just like you said, Hailong Group has reached the point where it must be reformed in order to survive. What about Yang Minmin? How are you going to place her? Zhang Mingqing asked. Although he doesn't have much to do with Hailong Group now, the glory of Hailong Group is after all created by him. Therefore, he really didn't want the brand of Sea Dragon to disappear without a trace in the end.
If she is willing to stay in Hailong Group, she can serve as the vice president of the group. Or the general manager of the group. Liu Tao said.
"Yang Minmin's personality is very calm, she came to work in Hailong Group after graduating from university, and she has regarded this place as her home. So I'm sure she'll agree with you. Zhang Mingqing said.
"The position has changed, but the treatment will not change. Not only will it not change, but it will improve. Liu Tao said.
"Looks like you're really not bad for money." Zhang Mingqing quipped.
"You can't save a penny of money that should be spent, and you can't spend money that shouldn't be spent anyway. I'm rich, but I'm not a loser. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Your money is all earned by your own hard work, even if you spend it, you can't be considered a loser, right? Besides, I see that your clothes are really not related to the loser. Zhang Mingqing said.
"Everyone's pursuit of life is different. Some people like to eat better, some people like to live better, and some people like to drive a better car. I don't really care about any of that. Liu Tao said.
"People who don't care about any of this tend to have bigger ambitions. I don't know what your ambitions are, but it's definitely not something that our people can match. You have become a super-rich person before you are twenty years old, and your net worth has far exceeded that of the richest man in Huaxia. I can't imagine where you'll be in 30 years. Maybe the whole Huaxia Kingdom will be yours at that time. Zhang Mingqing said with a smile.
"Maybe." Liu Tao smiled faintly and said.
Zhang Mingqing looked at the unfathomable young man in front of him, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. You must know that when he was the other party's age, he was just an ordinary worker in a factory that produced refrigerators under Hailong Group.
Time flies, it's really embarrassing.
Of course, at that time, he didn't expect that he would have where he is today, and his biggest dream at that time was just to be a team leader in the workshop.
After signing the contract, it is natural to celebrate the good students.
Zhang Mingqing had already booked a banquet hall in the best hotel in the island city in advance to celebrate.
Liu Tao originally planned to return to Binjiang after the contract was signed, but seeing that everyone was so happy, he simply accepted Zhang Mingqing's invitation to go to the hotel to celebrate.
Reporters from many media outlets got the news as soon as they could.
Soon, the entrance of the hotel was crowded with reporters. When everyone saw Liu Tao appear, they flocked to it.
"Mr. Liu Tao, I heard that you acquired Hailong Group, I don't know if this news is true?" The reporter of the Island City Daily couldn't wait to ask.
"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and said, "I just signed an equity transfer agreement with the shareholders of Hailong Group. ”
"I wonder how many shares you own in Hailong Group now?" A reporter from the Island City Evening News asked.
"I now own 90 percent of the shares of Hai Long Group." Liu Tao replied.
"What are you going to do with the remaining 10 percent of the shares? Let these shares float in the market or buy them all back? A reporter from Xindu.com, the largest portal in China, in the island city asked.
"I haven't thought about this yet." Liu Tao replied. In front of reporters, not all thoughts have to be said in one go.
"What is the total amount of this acquisition?" A reporter from the Island City Evening News asked.
"About 50 billion Chinese coins." Liu Tao replied.
"50 billion is not a very large amount for Shenhua Pharmaceutical Company. However, you were originally in the pharmaceutical industry, which is a high-profit industry. The electrical industry is now a low-profit industry, why did you choose to cut into this industry at this time? A reporter from the Island City Daily asked.
"As we all know, Shenhua Pharmaceutical's revenue is very high. It is impossible to make any profit by putting the money in the company's account, so it must be taken out and invested. For the home appliance industry, I have always been very optimistic. Although the profit of the home appliance industry is relatively low, the market size of the home appliance industry is still very large. At present, there are three home appliance enterprises in China with sales of more than 100 billion yuan, and there are more than a dozen of them with sales of more than 10 billion yuan. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"If you're just looking for a rate of return, investing in finance seems to be a better choice." A reporter from the Island City Evening News reminded.
"Everyone should know that Hailong Group's main business is home appliances, but the group has many other businesses, such as mobile phones and computers, and even finance. Hailong Group owns 25% of the shares of Island City Bank and is the largest shareholder of Island City Bank. Liu Tao said.
It seems that Mr. Liu also wants to diversify. However, as far as I know, most companies are not doing very well after diversifying. Perhaps specialization is the right choice for a company. The reporter of the Island City Evening News continued.
"A company should be specialized, but a group should be diverse. It's just that some diversification is the integration of upstream and downstream industrial chains, and some are engaged in unrelated industries. The business of Hailong Group will eventually become the top three in China. If I can't get into the top three within two years, I won't hesitate to cut the business. Liu Tao said.
"Your idea is somewhat similar to that of General Electric's Welch. He took all the businesses that couldn't become the top three in the industry, and only some top companies remained. The reporter said.
"Great companies are all alike." Liu Tao said lightly.
"Mr. Liu, the management of a company changes after an acquisition. I wonder if you will also change the existing management of Hai Long Group? The reporter asked.
"It's not convenient to disclose this for the time being. That's all for today. Hailong Group will hold a press conference in a few days. As soon as Liu Tao finished speaking, he separated the crowd and walked into the hotel.
Zhang Mingqing and others followed.
Journalists from the media also left the area. They had to write a press release in the shortest possible time so that the news could be published as soon as possible.
From this point of view, news websites have very, very obvious advantages over newspapers. (To be continued.) )
