Chapter 0439 - The Temperament of a Leader
Chen Daomin walked over to Ling Xiao and said politely, "Mr. Ling, I'm sorry I'm late." β
"Sit down, you've come just in time." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Both have actually seen each other's photos, and it is not difficult to recognize each other at a glance.
Chen Daomin didn't introduce himself, and Ling Xiao didn't ask, the two were like superiors and subordinates who had known each other for a long time and cooperated tacitly. This is a very smart move, if Chen Daomin and Ling Xiao are like meeting for the first time, and they are busy with politeness and greetings on this occasion, the people who invest in the company will definitely look down on Shennu Pharmaceutical even more.
The expert team of Shennu Pharmaceutical, who followed Chen Daomin, did not enter the conference room, but just stood at the door. There were so many of them, and if they were coming in, it would be a mess.
"Who is this?" Li Shenghe looked at Chen Daomin with a wary look.
"Chen Daomin, my company's capital operation expert." Ling Xiao introduced, and then he wanted Chen Daomin to introduce Li Shenghe, "This is Li Shenghe, the chief representative of the delegation of the entrepreneur investment company, and Mr. Li. β
"Hello." Chen Daomin only symbolically shook hands with Li Shenghe, and then said unceremoniously: "Mr. Li, I don't agree with your evaluation of our goddess pharmaceutical just now, what about a small private enterprise?" Didn't Mr. Bill Gates also founded Microsoft in the garage in the first place? β
Chen Daomin brought the conversation back to when he came in.
Li Shenghe is not a fuel-efficient lamp, "I just tell the truth, and I always don't listen to the truth." Isn't there an old saying in Huaguo? Advice is against the ear, and good medicine is bitter. I just say that to make you understand your situation, and that we can both benefit from working with us. β
Ling Xiao didn't bother to refute, he sat quietly, observing Chen Daomin's reaction. Anna Tong guΓ² poaching company poached him, he must have a good ability, this is the right time to verify his ability.
At this time, Chen Daomin said: "Really? I'd like to see what you have to say before we talk about it. He took the two plans and started with the first.
Chen Daomin looked at it very quickly, not like Ling Xiao just now to review it word by word, he focused on the conditions offered by the entrepreneur investment company in the plan, and what the entrepreneur company could do for Shennu Pharmaceutical. He read both plans in less than ten minutes.
During the time when Chen Daomin was looking at the plan, the conference room was not quiet, and Li Shenghe continued to lobby Ling Xiao to agree to their plan and sign a contract with them as much as possible. Negotiators from venture capital companies also joined in, and appraisers, professional lawyers, etc., lobbied from their own professional perspectives.
In the face of the brainwashing lobbying of the opposing personnel, Ling Xiao always smiled and looked polite, but he was unmoved.
"Mr. Ling, this is not a plan to help Shennu Pharmaceutical go public, this is simply slaughtering us as wronged people." After reading the two-point plan, Chen Daomin frowned and said, "Mr. Ling, I'm late, I don't know if you've seen their plan?" β
Ling Xiao nodded, "Yes, but I'd like to hear your opinion." β
Chen Daomin pushed back to Li Shenghe with two plans, and said unceremoniously: "Mr. Ling, my opinion is that there is no need for us to talk about it anymore. β
A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, Chen Daomin's opinion coincided with his, if it wasn't for Chen Daomin's appearance with the expert team of Shennu Pharmaceutical just now, he would have left this conference room.
"Mr. Chen, I don't agree with what you said." Li Shenghe had a gloomy face, "We are here to talk about business, not to quarrel." I'll admit that there is something inappropriate about my words just now, but we are all adults, all of us in the shopping mall, should we give up your own interests because of a sentence or two of unpleasant truths? β
Chen Daomin sneered, "Our interests? I only see your interests in your plan, and I don't see our interests at all. β
"I won't tell you." Li Shenghe looked at Ling Xiao, "Mr. Ling, I'll tell you the truth." This is the market, no matter which intermediary you go to, they will offer the same or even more demanding conditions. If your Chinese company comes to the United States to go public, once it is successful, it will not only raise funds, but also enhance the image and popularity of the company. This is also the reason why so many Chinese companies are willing to come to the United States to go public. However, if your Chinese company comes to the United States to go public, you need an intermediary company like us to help you operate, and our role is irreplaceable. You need an agency, so why don't you sign with us? In this way, I will reduce our profits by one-tenth, do you think it will work? β
These words are very sincere, and it is difficult to refuse.
The reason is very simple, there is a tacit understanding between the intermediary companies that help Chinese enterprises go public, and even the unspoken rule is that no matter which Chinese company comes to the United States to find an intermediary company to help go public, they will wield a big knife and cut a piece of fat down. Therefore, it is really what he said, no matter which intermediary company Ling Xiao goes to, he has to face these harsh and unfair conditions, and stretch his neck to let the family slash hard - so why not let the entrepreneur invest in the company to cut this knife?
Li Shenghe's meaning is obvious, anyway, if you want to be stabbed, I will cut it lightly, what reason do you have to refuse?
I have to admit that this Li Shenghe's negotiation strategy and eloquence are very good, and Ling Xiao's heart was already a little hesitant at this time. If the other party lowers the conditions by half, he may agree. However, when this idea first came out, he suppressed it, and he secretly said in his heart: "In Huaguo, Shennu Pharmaceutical came to the United States to be listed because of unfair treatment, and it was also treated unfairly in the United States, so why should I be listed in the United States?" Also, I have professionals under me, and I should listen to my own opinions on this kind of thing. β
Ling Xiao's gaze fell on Chen Daomin's body again.
A good boss doesn't need to do everything himself, he can recruit talents, and it is enough to use talents well.
Chen Daomin said: "Mr. Ling, what I want to tell you is that Huaguo companies must go through intermediary companies to be listed in the United States, which is actually a misunderstanding. β
"Huh?" This statement surprised Ling Xiao.
Li Shenghe's face became ugly again.
Chen Daomin continued: "A large number of intermediary companies in the United States have formed a deformed market, and they spread remarks that are beneficial to themselves and advocate their role in the U.S. stock market. β
Li Shenghe couldn't listen to it anymore, and said angrily: "Mr. Chen, do you mean that so many intermediary companies can not save zΓ i?" Or, you mean, all intermediaries are scammers? If you really think so, then you are a very naΓ―ve person, and I also feel unworthy of the salary that Goddess Pharmaceutical spends on you! β
Chen Daomin smiled disapprovingly, "Mr. Li, don't get excited, is the salary spent on me worth it, only our President Ling is qualified to express his opinion on this matter, you better listen to me first." β
"Humph!" Li Shenghe snorted coldly.
Ling Xiao is liking this Chen Daomin more and more.
Chen Daomin continued, "Intermediary companies still have the meaning of saving zΓ i, but they are not as big as they say. The primary role of intermediaries is to act as underwriters, submitting information about listed companies to the SFC for review, and then promoting and lobbying investment banks for investment prior to the initial offering. Intermediaries are familiar with these areas and looking for them saves time and avoids some risks. However, even if there is no intermediary company, if we directly find an investment bank, with the prospects and current performance of Shennu Pharmaceutical, the other party can quickly help Shennu Pharmaceutical go public, so we don't even need intermediary companies to participate. β
There was a sudden silence in the conference room.
The people on the side of the entrepreneur investment company all looked gloomy, if it weren't for their own identity and letting the anger in their hearts vent, they might have rushed up and slammed Chen Daomin - this guy is really hateful, not only sabotaging the cooperation between the entrepreneur investment company and Shennu Pharmaceutical, but even belittled the entrepreneur investment company to the point that it can not exist!
However, Ling Xiao is not the kind of person who has no opinions, he has his own ideas, he has his judgment.
Just now, in the process of Chen Daomin and Li Sheng's confrontation, Ling Xiao had actually been observing, thinking, and brewing the final decision. No matter how powerful Chen Daomin is, he is just a part-time worker, his opinions are for reference only, but the final decision still needs to be made by him, the boss.
However, this final decision is not so easy to make, and he needs more thinking and more observation.
"Looking for an investment bank?" Li Shenghe sneered and said, "I'll put my words here, you can go directly to the investment bank." I tell you, in the case of your Shennu Pharmaceutical, no matter which investment bank you go to, their conditions will not be kinder than ours, they will usually keep your issue price very low, and then subscribe for most of it, and as soon as it goes public, as soon as the stock appreciates, they will cash out and leave, and your stock will fall to a mess because of their selling. β
In the capital market, there are no good people, and there will be no absolute fairness, only who stands in a more powerful position.
At this time, Ling Xiao stood up and said calmly: "That's it, I'll tell you my plan." β
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ling Xiao's body. Whether it is the people on the side of Shennu Pharmaceutical or the people on the side of the entrepreneur investment company, they can feel the temperament and courage of the leader exuded by this young man.
"My plan is very simple, backdoor listing, Shennu Pharmaceutical will be listed in the form of AB shares for financing, and A shares will be the original shares of the company, which I hold and distribute by myself. For B shares, you can subscribe for 30% at a low price. As long as you do a good job of the business tour and publicize it in place, as soon as Shennu Pharmaceutical is listed and the stock appreciates, you will still make a lot of money. β
Li Shenghe shook his head, "This can't work, we are taking too much risk." β
Ling Xiao smiled, "The greater the risk, the greater the profit, if you are not willing to take this kind of risk, I think there are many people who will." That's my decision, and if you don't agree, there's no need for us to waste any more time talking. β
If you agree with my decision, we will continue to talk, if you don't agree, then don't talk about it!
