Chapter 180 Employee Participation
It's past three o'clock in the morning.
Tang Bao left Mrs. Annette's house, the bright moonlight and the bright starry sky were exceptionally beautiful and a little intoxicating.
Call......
Walking on the trail, Tang Bao felt very comfortable. Nick, who was following behind Tang Bao, saw that the boss had this leisure, so he hung silently behind him, not daring to rush to urge.
"Boss, do you really plan to expand the shares of Phoenix Investment Group?" Nick broke the silence and asked curiously.
This question bothered him for a night. However, since he was at Mrs. Annette's house, it was not convenient for Nick to ask directly.
"Of course. Do you think I'm talking like I'm playing? Tang Bao replied as a matter of course.
"This ......"
Nick was stunned, but he couldn't refute it. It's right to think about it, Tang Bao and Mrs. Annette have been discussing the issue of Phoenix Investment Group's share expansion and financing almost all night, how can it be regarded as child's play. However, he also didn't understand why Tang Bao was in a hurry to do this.
It's really abrupt!
Nick is almost inseparable from Tang Bao, there is nothing he doesn't know, but the easy thing about Phoenix Investment Group's share expansion has not been heard of at all before.
"Can't figure it out?" Tang Bao looked at Nick's confused expression and asked with a smile.
"Yes. I can't figure it out...... Phoenix Investment Group is in the midst of rapid development, and there is no shortage of channels to raise funds, why do you have to carry out financing and share expansion, what is the difference between this and sharing your wealth? Isn't that a very loss-making thing? ”
"Suffer, haha......" Tang Bao couldn't help laughing.
"Huh?" Seeing Tang Bao laughing, Nick suddenly became puzzled and thought to himself, isn't that the case. "Boss, what's wrong?"
……
Tang Bao just smiled lightly and shook his head, and did not continue to explain to Nick.
Right now.
As the fame of Tang Bao and Phoenix Investment Group grows louder and louder, the outside world often equates Tang Bao and Phoenix Investment Group.
But.
Except for Tang Bao himself. No one knows that Phoenix Investment Group is far less important than the outside world thinks in his industrial layout, although it cannot be said to be dispensable, but it has not reached the point of irreplaceability. In other words, Phoenix Investment Group is not his core asset. Its greater role is to attract the attention of the outside world and cover for some of Tang Bao's hidden investments.
In fact, the scale of Tang Bao's hidden investment is much larger than that of Phoenix Investment Group. It's also a real hole card.
This is a secret that belongs to Tang Bao alone. Tang Bao never told anyone, and Nick, Horst, Lady Annette, etc., didn't know anything......
Maybe.
One day, someone is regarded as a real confidant by Tang Bao, and it is possible to come into contact with this level.
Therefore.
Regarding the issue of Phoenix Investment Group's share expansion and financing, Tang Bao did not have much resistance or loss, because it was simply a pseudo-core enterprise.
In Tang Bao's positioning, the role of Phoenix Investment Group is nothing more than three points. First, to attract the attention of the outside world and provide cover for their covert investments; Second. Tools to expand your reach and network. In the end, select among them the henchmen who are absolutely loyal to him.
Now.
The first role of Phoenix Investment Group has been fully played, and what Tang Bao is about to do is to make more effective use of the second role.
……
The next day, in the morning.
Although last night when I went back to rest. It's past four o'clock. However, Tang Bao still got up very early and got up just after seven o'clock to exercise.
After the workout, have a simple breakfast. And then. Tang Bao and Nick rushed to Phoenix Investment Group!
"Suspend all the work at hand, call all the executives to a meeting, I have something to announce." Tang Bao instructed Horst.
"Huh?" Horst was stunned. Hurry down, and then quickly notify it.
Half an hour later.
In the conference room of Phoenix Investment Group, the senior executives above the director level of various departments were all present, sitting quietly on the seats, waiting for Tang Bao.
"Ahem...... everyone was all together, Tang Bao coughed lightly, and then said directly: "I'm in a hurry for you to come over, I just want to announce an important thing!" ”
"Boss, is there any big plan of action?" Seeing Tang Bao behaving so solemnly, Horst couldn't help but ask expectantly.
See here.
Tang Bao shook his head speechlessly, thinking to himself, where did he come up with so many big plans.
Belch......
Somewhat different from what he had thought, Horst suddenly became disappointed and relieved. But he soon cheered up again, and Horst knew that Tang Bao usually didn't come to the company, and it was definitely not a trivial matter to bother him to come over. "Boss, what's that important?"
"I plan to carry out the first round of share expansion financing for Phoenix Investment Group!" Tang Bao said lightly.
The fluttering words suddenly shocked the entire conference room, obviously, everyone did not expect to talk about the expansion of shares and financing.
"Boss, I remember that last year, the president of Citibank, Miller, mainly asked for a stake in Phoenix Investment Group, but you refused...... Why did you suddenly change your mind? Horst said in surprise that at the beginning, Tang Bao's tough refusal was still clearly remembered.
"This time and that time." Tang Bao said with a smile.
Silent.
The entire conference room fell silent, they were caught off guard by this sudden news, and they didn't know what to say.
"Boss, the influence of Phoenix Investment Group is getting stronger and stronger, and the financing ability is also increasing day by day, and share expansion financing is not the only way to raise funds." Horst couldn't help but remind, "With the growth rate of Phoenix Investment Group, the scale of assets will expand rapidly, and at this time, it is very unfavorable for you to expand your share financing." Maybe it would be more appropriate to wait until Phoenix Investment Group enters the bottleneck period of development! ”
Well.
Tang Bao smiled and nodded, Horst's suggestion was very pertinent, and it was indeed the most beneficial. However, if Phoenix Investment Group enters the bottleneck period and expands its shares for financing, it will be far away, because with his memory advantage, there is no bottleneck at all.
"Heh, Horst, this share expansion financing is not just to raise funds, but more from the perspective of expanding resource channels...... I hope to gather more partners. Open the way for the development of Phoenix Investment Group. Tang Bao explained simply.
"Oh."
Horst nodded knowingly. As the president of Phoenix Investment Group, Tang Bao announced the matter of share expansion and financing without consulting him in advance, and inevitably felt a little uncomfortable. At the same time, there was also a faint sense of uneasiness, and my mind was uncertain.
Tang Bao did not pay attention to the changes in Horst, and continued: "The development of Phoenix Investment Group to today's scale is inseparable from the efforts of all employees. Therefore, this time Phoenix Investment Group expanded its shares to raise funds. We will also take care of the interests of internal employees first. As long as you are an employee of Phoenix Investment Group, regardless of your status, you can become a shareholder of Phoenix Investment Group! ”
As soon as the words fell.
Almost all of the executives suddenly had their eyes lit up, and their hearts were pounding and racing.
"Uh, equity ......" After hearing this, Horst also became expectant, thought about it and reminded: "Boss, Phoenix Investment Group is a private equity fund. At present, there are only four shareholders, but if all employees are shareholders, it will inevitably exceed 100 shareholders. As required by American law, at that time. Phoenix Investment Group is subject to the supervision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission! ”
Supervision?
Tang Bao couldn't help frowning, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is also easy to solve!" Horst, you came forward to set up a Phoenix Employee Fund. Then through this fund, it will take a stake in Phoenix Investment Group. ”
"No problem."
Hoss nodded, and simply agreed. "Boss, for the matter of employee shares. What kind of restrictions should be made? ”
"Restricted ......" Tang Bao groaned, thought for a while, and said: "Stocks can only be held by me, and cannot be resold to outsiders. The Phoenix Employee Fund can only be held by purely internal employees, and cannot be mixed with other investors, and institutional investors are not allowed to appear. ”
"Hmm."
Horst nodded in understanding. After a pause, he asked again, "Boss, then there is no limit to the purchase amount?" Or a time limit? ”
"How much to invest depends on the individual's financial ability, there is no limit. At the same time, employees are allowed to participate in shares with six months' salary in advance. You have made it clear to the employees below that the opportunity is only this time, and if you can't seize it, you can only wait for the next round of share expansion financing opportunities. In addition, Phoenix Investment Group will not launch an equity incentive plan in the short term......" Tang Bao reminded very cautiously.
"Yes, I understand." Horst nodded in response. He also firmly believes that no employee will stupidly give up this opportunity to buy shares.
Well.
Tang Bao smiled and announced the adjournment of the meeting. After Tang Bao left the conference room, all the executives rushed out eagerly, ready to bring the good news to their subordinates.
……
Soon.
The news spread throughout the Phoenix Investment Group, and on this day, all the employees could not concentrate on their work with peace of mind, and they were all excitedly discussing the matter of employee stock ownership, and they were also secretly planning how much money to invest. Phoenix Investment Group's terrifying return on investment has given employees a strong sense of confidence in it, and their motivation to invest in it is ridiculously high. As Horst thought, no employee would be foolish enough to waste this opportunity.
"Hmm. Boss, it seems that the employees in the Phoenix Investment Group are also crazy today, and they can't work with peace of mind. Nick went out to fetch water and replied.
Tang Bao smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, it's understandable. Although the development of Phoenix Investment Group is largely due to its rebirth advantage, it would not have been able to achieve this scale without these employees. He's eating meat, and he's going to have to let someone mix with him drink some soup.
In this way, the internal cohesion of Phoenix Investment Group will become stronger and stronger.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Tang Bao's speech inside the Phoenix Investment Group soon spread and blew a whirlwind. (To be continued......)
