Chapter 96 Shareholding

"Uh...... I don't seem to have explicitly agreed to invest in Shougang, right? Tang Bao listened to Ding Linxi's words and couldn't help but think speechlessly.

But.

I have to admit that Ding Linxi is indeed very shrewd, and before he has made any actual moves, he has reserved a way out for himself early. Isn't the so-called other disruptive factors alluding to repeated policy problems? When something bad happened, Tang Bao was asked to take the initiative to return the shares of Shougang Company, so that Shougang could return to its pure state-owned enterprise status.

No wonder he is emphasizing his Chinese identity...... If we carry out shareholding reform with foreign capital, it will be easy to give away the equity, but it will be difficult to take it back, and it will also cause diplomatic disputes.

"Whew. Director Ding, according to what you mean, can I understand that after I become a shareholder of Shougang, I may also be eliminated at any time due to some factors. The interests of your Shougang Company can be protected, and my investment interests are not guaranteed, so what is the point of my investment? Tang Bao asked with a light smile.

"Huh...... Xiao Tang, those situations are just a precautionary measure, and if you really have to encounter them, your timely withdrawal will be more beneficial to you, isn't it? Ding Lin said with a smile.

Alas.

What an old fox.

Tang Bao had to admit that once he encountered a policy problem, it was too late for him to get out early, so how could he care about that little bit of interest. Moreover, Tang Bao's original intention to invest in Shougang was not to invest in income, but to have other plans......

After speaking.

There was a brief calm in the office, and neither Tang Bao nor Ding Linxi spoke. As for Su Peng and Wang Qiang, they are not qualified to speak at this time.

"Hmm. It is not impossible for me to participate in the share reform of Shougang Company. But the 'distractions' you just mentioned have to be clearly listed, and I'm not being swept away for no reason. After weighing left and right in his heart for a few minutes, Tang Bao slowly raised his head and said calmly to Ding Linxi.

"What does that mean?"

Ding Lin asked in surprise.

"If it is necessary to withdraw the investment in Shougang because of national policies and other reasons, I have nothing to say. But if someone wants to kick me out of the game because of the conflict of interests of all parties, I am afraid that I will not be able to agree to it by using the 'interference factor' agreed upon today. Tang Bao said what he thought.

"Huh. How is this possible...... Don Jr., you are too worried. How could our leading cadres do such a thing! Ding Lin smiled and said, he didn't think that such a ridiculous thing would happen, but in order to dispel Tang Bao's concerns and let Tang Bao participate in the Shougang share reform with peace of mind, he agreed to Tang Bao's conditions very simply, "Okay, this condition will be done according to your proposal, and the conditions for withdrawing from Shougang shares will be clarified, and no one will take advantage of the loopholes!" ”

Su Peng, who was doing it next to him, heard that Tang Bao was relieved, and he was secretly happy, his efforts finally saw hope......

Ding Lin smiled and said, "What other conditions are put forward?" ”

"Hmm...... In the future, if I set up my own steel company, Shougang must send a group of skilled workers to support. ”

"Xiao Tang, since you are going to invest in Shougang Company, why do you want to build a new steel plant, can't you invest this money directly in Shougang?"

"Director Ding, you say, even if I invest more money, can I be the master of Shougang Company?" Tang Bao asked with a smile.

"Haha."

Hearing Tang Bao's words, Ding Lin couldn't help laughing.

"It should be fine. Xiao Su, you talk about your thoughts, is there a problem in sending a group of skilled workers when necessary? ”

"Done."

Su Peng hurriedly nodded and agreed, there are not many others in Shougang, but there are many workers, and it is very simple to send a group of workers. Then he said: "However, Shougang employees will not provide wages and various benefits during their assignment, which Xiao Tang himself is responsible for." ”

"Then I'll thank Mr. Su in advance."

Tang Bao said with a smile, wages and benefits are all trivial. At present, domestic skilled workers are all working in state-owned enterprises, and if Tang Bao wants to set up a steel company, he really has to dig a corner from the state-owned factory. He may be able to recruit some high-level skilled workers from abroad with high salaries, but it will be limited in the end, and it will also increase labor costs.

And by cooperating with Shougang, you can easily get a group of skilled workers...... Tang Bao is confident that when these skilled workers enter his steel company, he will not think about returning to Shougang again.

……

"Xiao Tang, your conditions have been raised, and I have to make three chapters with you." Ding Lin said with a smile.

"Please."

"First, that is, the exit mechanism, that is, when you encounter national policy obstacles or hinder the development of Shougang Company due to your reasons, you must return the shares of Shougang Company unconditionally, of course, the government will also give you a reasonable price, not compulsory confiscation."

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded, there is no problem with this, and it has just been discussed.

"Second, Shougang will first sell you 10% of the shares to see the results. If the efficiency is good, you can boldly optimize the share structure; If the effectiveness is too poor, the decision on whether to implement Article 1 will be determined on a case-by-case basis. However, in any case, if you want to sell this 10% equity, Shougang has the absolute right of first refusal to buy back. In particular, you can't sell these shares to a foreign company, even if it's a company you set up abroad. Ding Linxi cautiously emphasized that he is still very vigilant about foreign intervention in the shareholding reform of state-owned enterprises.

"Don't worry, I'm also Chinese, how can I sell the equity of the country's key enterprises to foreigners?" Tang Bao said with a smile.

"That's good. These shares can only be in your hands, not in the hands of foreign companies! Ding Linxi emphasized solemnly again.

"Third, and finally. The ultimate goal of Shougang Company's restructuring is to gradually adapt to the market economy and increase efficiency! If you can't stand still after the share reform, the share reform will be meaningless. Therefore, after you become a shareholder of Shougang, you must help Shougang obtain advanced technology, and even sell Shougang's products abroad, so as to make more contributions to the country's foreign exchange earnings. ”

"I'll do my best."

It may be difficult for Tang Bao to obtain truly advanced steelmaking technology, but there is a chance to get some technology that has been eliminated by European and American enterprises. And in two years, the Soviet supergiant will collapse, and although their technical equipment is not as good as that of Europe and the United States, it is several grades stronger than that of China. Even if he can't get it from Europe and the United States, Tang Bao can go to the Soviet Union to rob it...... Thinking of the Soviet Union, Tang Bao's mood couldn't help but be restless.

The main conditions have been negotiated.

Tang Bao and Ding Linxi had an in-depth discussion on some small details, and it was not until it was getting dark that they decided on a complete shareholding plan. Tang Bao invested US$57 million in Shougang Company, obtained 10% of Shougang's equity, and had the right to make suggestions, but was not allowed to interfere in Shougang's operation.

……

Walking out of the Physical Reform Commission, Tang Bao was in a good mood.

The total assets of Shougang Company are definitely not 570 million US dollars, and Tang Bao suffers a loss simply by looking at the matter of taking a stake in Shougang, but he doesn't care about this. By taking a stake in Shougang, he can be regarded as squeezing into the steel industry in China, and also paved the way for the establishment of his own steel company...... Tang Bao said in front of Ding Linxi that the establishment of a steel enterprise is only a "possibility", but this possibility is an inevitability.
