Chapter 61: Negotiation

In the second year of the establishment of the fairy company, it was basically spent in negotiations. There are a total of 10 people in the Liaison Section, including the section chief Wang Guoli, in addition to the section chief, there are also 3 officers, a total of 6 can take on major responsibilities, and the remaining 4 people are auxiliary personnel, including two Miss Operators. The Liaison Section is now very nervous, and since late February after the Spring Festival, Section Chief Wang Guoli has personally led a team to Shanghai for negotiations and contacts. The team that went to Shanghai to negotiate this time was basically the strongest lineup of the fairy company, and this was also the most important negotiation since the establishment of the fairy company.

Section Chief Wang Guoli and his entourage of four people, the other two are Wang Jing and Tao Jianmin of the Liaison Section, Tao Jianmin is one of the young people that the company focuses on cultivating, and the three of them came together, as well as Li Dongqun, the director of the consulting department, and the object of their negotiations is a national iron and steel company in Shanghai - Jinshui Company. Judging from the data, Jinshui Company has not yet encountered relatively large financial difficulties, although the company's business development tends to be stable, but the share in the country and even the world has declined. Based on various intelligence, the planning department judged that the company would have a lot of difficulties in the coming days, and it was interested in attracting investment. Jinshui Company was jointly funded by the Shanghai Municipal Government and the state, and the Shanghai Municipal Government owns more than 60% of the shares, which is the situation when the company was first established, and after its establishment for decades, the company's shareholders have tended to be dispersed, and there are many small shareholders. The company's total assets amounted to more than 20 billion US dollars, and for this reason, the fairy company prepared a gift of at least 30 billion yuan, depending on whether the other party ate it or not.

Jinshui Company obviously did not expect that an inconspicuous small investment company would be interested in them, and the position of the negotiators sent to receive the fairy company was not high, and they had no rights. At this point, the fairy company didn't know it at the beginning, coupled with the inherent style of the current state-owned company staff, they soaked mushrooms together, but as the Jinshui company personnel made more and more excuses, Wang Guoli and several people became suspicious. A few people who felt that something was wrong simply showed their identities, and the top person in charge of the Fairy Company's External Relations Section came to negotiate in person, which made the situation better. Although the fairy company is not well-known, but a few days later, Jinshui Company also made an investigation through its own information channels, and now the other party's external liaison section chief personally came to talk, which made the group company feel that things were unusual, and began to pay attention to it, and the specifications of the negotiation have improved a lot.

As a large national company, and even a well-known steel group company in the world, Jinshui Company did not regard the fairy as a negotiation opponent, thinking that the investment company had at most hundreds of millions or billions of yuan of funds, and also thought that the other party's first-time contact personnel were not of high standard, but now, it has realized that it may not be the case. The intelligence department of Jinshui Company is much stronger than that of the fairy company, and after only a few days of hard work, he touched the situation of the fairy company, and the information of the fairy is now placed on the desk of the general manager of the company: the boss Li Mengze, the position is unknown, young, owns 25% of the shares of Wansheng Company, once served as the company's deputy general manager, and then resigned, and took a large number of talents from Wansheng Company to found Fairy Fund Investment Co., Ltd. He has invested in "No Love", made huge profits, and has now invested in two subordinate companies of *, with an investment of more than 1.45 yuan, which is rumored to have a close relationship with Xixing Company.

Judging from the data, the fairy company does not have a particularly strong strength, but Xie Houhua, as the general manager of Jinshui Company, of course knows how strong Wansheng Company is, and more importantly, she knows the significance of Wansheng Company, which made an earth-shattering noise the year before last. In the eyes of all their industry leaders, Wansheng Company was already a dead game at that time, and they didn't dare or want to save her, but just watched her go out of business; But there was a mysterious young man who spent a lot of money to revitalize her, this kind of courage and financial resources made them, the veterans of the industry, feel incomprehensible and shocked, and now they feel even more admired. Judging from the stock market commentary and actual performance, Wansheng has completely gotten rid of the predicament and has come back to life, even more than in the past. For this reason alone, the business community treats Wansheng as a legend, and even more so as a young mysterious shareholder as a legend. Therefore, now Xie Houhua is thinking, thinking about how big the appetite of the fairy company is, where she came from, and why she came. Come and see no insolence, Jinshui Company is ready to take the fairy company seriously!

After the negotiations were interrupted, Wang Guoli met with Zhao Junming, deputy general manager of Jinshui Company, who had resumed negotiations, on the third day. Hearing the identity of the other party's self-report, Wang Guoli knew that the waiting for the past few days had not been wasted, and the other party had already attached importance to the fairy. So, instead of the mutual prevarication of the past negotiations, the two sides went straight to the point.

"Zhao Zong, hello! I am Wang Guoli, Chief of the Liaison Section of Fairy Investment Fund Co., Ltd., and I am responsible for this cooperation negotiation with your company. Fairy company has the sincerity to cooperate with your company, so that the development of your company to a higher level, become the largest in China and even the world's most powerful steel company. Wang Guoli first introduced himself to the other party and the purpose of his cooperation.

"Section Chief Wang, we have heard about the fairy company, but we don't know what strength your company has, and why do you think that you and I can cooperate. You know, our company's total assets are nearly 25 billion US dollars, once funds are needed, small funds will not work. Can Section Chief Wang solve my doubts? Zhao Junming said lightly, he didn't believe that the fairy company had the capital to cooperate at all, and his attitude was relatively arrogant, and the strength of the two companies was obvious; If the fairy company didn't have enough money, they simply wouldn't have continued to negotiate and waste time!

"The strength of the fairy company is not the decisive reason, but the ability of the fairy company to cooperate with your company is an important reason why we came to talk. Your company's strength is very large, as we know, the total assets are nearly 25 billion US dollars, fixed assets are 15 billion US dollars, but the short-term and long-term debt is more than 12 billion US dollars, and a large number of bank debts and long-term bonds are a heavy burden for your company. According to the information we have received, your company also has quite a lot of short-term loans, and the bonds issued 20 years ago are also coming due, and the financial pressure is quite high. How strong is the strength of the fairy company, this is not the key to cooperation, your company only needs to believe that the fairy company has the ability to invest enough money in your company, which is also the basis for us to come here! Wang Guoli put the other party's old bottom out, and at the same time told the other party that the fairy company has the strength to do anything.

"What Mr. Wang said is the truth, I admit the accuracy of your company's information, but Jinshui Company has the ability to solve its own financial problems, and there is no need for the industry to worry about us. Mr. Wang doesn't seem to trust your company's strength enough? Zhao Junming retorted.

"With $1 billion in short-term venture capital and $30 billion in maturing bonds, we don't understand how much more you need to borrow to pay it off? We don't understand why banks would trust a company in crisis that is being squeezed by the world's big steel companies! The huge strength of Tucker Group, Mr. Zhao knows better than us, and you are also more familiar with other big steel groups in the industry than us! Wang Guoli sneered and refuted the other party's self-confidence, judging from the data, behind the scenery of the domestic steel companies, there are heavy burdens, first of all, heavy financial pressure, many companies rely on bank loans to get by, and now the reform of the banking industry has made it more and more difficult for them to borrow, and the pressure is increasing. The second is the pressure of international counterparts, now many international steel groups have taken Chinese counterparts as opponents, using resources and markets to force step by step, and there is no domestic group that can compete with it.

The two sides of the negotiation on the day faced each other, but the main thing was that Wang Guoli revealed the scars of Jinshui Company little by little, stabbed the other party little by little, and then kept telling the other party that the fairy company was a good medicine for the disease, but he just didn't tell the other party what the fairy company could do. Wang Guoli's talk was basically based on the information collected by the consulting department and then sorted out and analyzed by the planning department, although it was exaggerated, but it did point out the problems of Jinshui Company and even other steel companies in the country. In fact, these problems have attracted the attention of relevant domestic experts, and a large number of analyses and comments have been continuously seen in the newspapers, but it is not yet possible to really attract the attention of steel companies. Some steel companies are not unnoticed, and the leaders are also very aware of these problems, but it is one thing to know whether they can solve them, and some problems are beyond their ability and responsibility, and they are also in a hurry. For example, Jinshui Company is like this, it cannot decide on the dismantling and merger of the company, this matter has to be decided by the shareholders, they only have the right to manage. In this negotiation, Zhao Junming had no bottom in his heart, and he felt from the beginning that the other party was promising, and the other party was not as simple as a small company. To be honest, there are a lot of crazy people and the like now, but there is really no joke about such a big thing, so he is here today to touch the situation and make judgments on the fairy company and the negotiation object from his perspective as the deputy general manager. Zhao Junming was not convinced, but he still sensed the sincerity of the fairy company, as the deputy general manager of the person in charge, it was necessary for him to report the information he had obtained to his superiors.

Xie Houhua read Zhao Junming's report, but also listened to his own views, feel that this matter is unusual, the other party's sincerity is relatively large, as the general manager, of course, she hopes that the group company will go to the next level, do not let go of any opportunity for cooperation, but the other party's hole cards have not yet been revealed, she has no bottom in her heart. The fairy company is more mysterious, this is the unanimous opinion of several people in charge of the company, not only the company is mysterious, but the CEO is even more mysterious, as if suddenly emerging from the ground. They have to be careful with such a potential partner and feel the need to continue talking. Therefore, they decided to continue the negotiations, and they must get rid of the other party before they can raise it at the shareholders' meeting, otherwise, they will not be able to explain it to the shareholders at all.

A few days later, the person who negotiated with Wang Guoli again was still Zhao Junming, and he first apologized for explaining the reason why he couldn't go to the talks in the past few days, hoping that the fairy company would understand. However, it was obviously a scene, but it was obviously treated unkindly by the fairy company.

"Mr. Zhao, the fairy company has been established for a short time, but the fairy company doesn't like to procrastinate, which is not in line with the character of the fairy! We are not satisfied with your company's style. Perhaps, in your opinion, the fairy company is too mysterious and the strength is vague, but in fact, the * of the fairy company is very simple, it is a private investment company, registered in B Beijing, the source of funds is legal, and it can stand up to investigation. Our CEO has invested in Wansheng before, and now he also owns 25% of Wansheng's shares. If you want to know how strong the financial strength of the fairy company is, then, let me tell you the original words of our boss, 'The company can buy the Jinshui company'. If you want to know the fairy's intentions, I can tell you responsibly, that is, to cooperate and make money! Wang Guoli ignored the other party's apology and told the other party the details of the fairy directly. The headquarters already knew the whole process of this negotiation, and was unwilling to entangle with the other party in inconsequential places, because the later negotiations were heavier, and it would be more detrimental to the company if they dragged on.

"Mr. Wang's words are very important to the company, and we will seriously consider them, but as you know, neither I nor the general manager have the authority to decide whether to cooperate with your company, whether we can cooperate or not, and further research needs to be done." Zhao Junming didn't care about Wang Guoli's accusations, the news revealed by the other party was too important, he knew what it meant, so he told the other party about his own difficulties, hoping that the other party could understand, and asked for some information to facilitate the company's research and use.

"Thank you for your understanding, what I said just now is not for you, this is some information about the fairy company and some information about cooperation, I want to help your company's board of directors make a decision. Fairy Company is not afraid to let any party know the sincerity of her investment, as long as both parties can benefit together, the company is willing to cooperate with any company. Due to the nervousness of our company and the pressure of negotiation, we have to return to the company, if there is a conclusion, please contact us as soon as possible. Wang Guoli handed over the information in his hand to the other party, this information is more detailed, it was originally specially prepared for the other party, and he was about to hand it over to Jinshui Company.

The negotiation between the Fairy Company and the Jinshui Company lasted for a short time, and after only half a month, Wang Guoli and several people evacuated. The purpose of their meeting was to impress the management of Jinshui Company, so that they could negotiate with the shareholders and strive for the possibility of cooperation, and there was no possibility of one-time successful negotiations. In fact, it is impossible for the fairy company to contact the shareholders of Jinshui Company and let them negotiate with the state, first, they can't see it, and second, they can't bear it. The investment agreement of the fairy company has actually stabbed the soft underbelly of Jinshui Company, making it unbearable, but Jinshui Company is a state-owned holding company, and the state's shares are not so easy to give up. At this point, the relevant personnel of the fairy company feel a little embarrassed, but some people do not believe in evil and think that they can touch the tiger's buttocks, in any case, it is not that there is no precedent for state-owned to private.

The fairy company was not just negotiating with Jinshui Company, almost at the same time as Wang Guoli and them were negotiating in Shanghai, Zhao Xiumin, another officer of the Liaison Section, and his party also started another similar negotiation in B-Beijing. Zhao Xiumin was transferred from Wansheng Company and has outstanding ability, and his assistant is the young and very potential Han Yuanpeng, this young man is one of the talents they focus on cultivating; The consulting staff who cooperated with them was Ma Yuan, a senior officer, who also came from Wansheng Company. Like the negotiation of their section chief in Shanghai, the other party did not pay attention to them at first, although the level of the negotiation opponent at the beginning was okay, because the fairy company was already well-known in Bjing, but the opponent had to pay attention to them, and finally they left the information and withdrew. The fairy company still has a certain reputation in B Beijing, and Jinggang Group is not too lazy, but like all large state-owned enterprises, they look down on the fairy company that has not shown its strength, and the negotiations have been delayed again and again, and they are finally hurt by the fairy, and they begin to pay attention to it. However, state-owned enterprises have their own procedures for handling affairs, and both sides are in a hurry, and after each side has expressed its best wishes, it has "studied" itself.

Like a naughty child, the fairy company threw a large stone into the lake, and for a while, the calm water surface was turbulent. Jinggang Group is worse than Jinshui Company, she is a state-owned iron and steel group mainly invested by the Beijing municipal government, and the demolition and relocation of the company's factory land in the past few years has been seriously affected; But she is still a wealthy owner, with total assets of $18 billion, but her debt component is even higher, and she has a debt of $10 billion, and although she is now making a profit every year, she is suspected of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and she is already insolvent. The investment proposal and analysis report of the fairy company immediately attracted the attention of the leadership of Jinggang Group, and the company's management has replied that it has "conducted research".

The two negotiations initiated by the fairy company were not known to the outside world, but it does not mean that the relevant departments did not know. The fairy's negotiation intentions were immediately reported to the relevant departments by the CEOs of the two state-owned companies, which quickly attracted their attention. For a while, the order to investigate the ins and outs of the fairy company was directly issued from the Intelligence Bureau, in order to have a thorough understanding of Li Mengze in the shortest possible time. This is worth it, and a rich man appeared out of thin air! In fact, it is easy to investigate, first of all, Li Mengze did not deliberately conceal it, and secondly, some departments of a figure like him have long paid attention to it, as long as the information is summarized and verified, everything will come out.

The work efficiency of the intelligence bureau was very high, and some relevant information about Li Mengze was quickly found out, and some irrelevant information was eliminated, leaving only some of his basic information, investment, and sources of funds. The people in charge looked at the information from the investigation, and they were almost stunned, this is a big fat fish, and the fat one makes them dare not imagine, it is a person who can be regarded as a legend! Of course, these materials are treated as top secret information and are strictly stored to prevent leakage!
