Chapter 431: The Price
The story between Mao Qingping and Geng Feng is actually very simple, Mao Qingping took Geng Feng's path in order to let his company's plane take off at the airport. For Geng Feng at that time, Mao Qingping's Yu Provincial Airlines was just one of the inconspicuous customers at his airport, and since Mao Qingping gave money, he gave the other party a way out. However, at that time, Mao Qingping's airline was just a small airline that had just been established for a few days, and even the company's assets were negative, because Mao Qingping borrowed a lot of money from the bank at that time.
Geng Feng may not have paid too much attention to Mao Qingping at first, but as the airlines of Yu Province are getting bigger and bigger, Geng Feng can't pay attention to him anymore. Although the airlines in Henan Province are not large in the country, they are already the largest airlines in the province.
Just like Mao Qingping said, Geng Feng is greedy, and he usually asks for money from other airlines, and those airlines are not uninteresting people, generally as long as Geng Feng is not too excessive, he will also express it appropriately. Although Geng Feng was greedy in the past, he always had a degree, and he knew what he could and couldn't do. He also knows that the road is a long stream, and he also knows that the road can't force people to be anxious. But now Geng Feng has become different from before.
Geng Feng is old, his age is up, and he will retire in a year or two. In the past, Geng Feng knew that his days were still long, so he didn't dare to do things. But now that he is about to retire, Geng Feng is starting to be less jealous and has become a little greedy.
In Mao Qingping's words, the current Geng Feng is like taking advantage of the two years left before his retirement to take the opportunity to make a lot of money. Then, when you retire, you can go abroad or do anything. And if you want to make money, you must have a goal, and it is unfortunate that Mao Qingping is the target selected by Geng Feng.
Generally, those provincial airlines that have operations at Xinshi Airport are some relatively large airlines, and these airlines certainly have money. But the power behind it is also not small. Although Geng Feng is about to retire, he is not stupid, he will not stupidly choose those big airlines as targets, and he will be doomed if he doesn't do it.
If you can't use airlines from other provinces, you can only choose your own airlines. Moreover, its own airlines are more dependent on Xinshi Airport, and it is more convenient to handle. Among the airlines in the province, Geng Feng was selected as the most popular, and Mao Qingping's Yu Provincial Airlines was selected.
There's no way, who made Mao Qingping's ability too good. He made Henan Airlines the first airline in Henan Province, and Geng Feng certainly regarded him as a target. Geng Feng, the other airlines, disliked being too small and had no oil and water, while Yu Airlines, as the largest airline in Henan Province, had enough oil and water. In particular, Henan Airlines is not only not strong behind it. And he is extremely dependent on the Xinshi Airport under his jurisdiction, which makes Geng Feng have a mind that he can eat the other party.
Geng Feng hadn't paid much attention to Mao Qingping before, and after selecting the target, he also deliberately investigated the situation of Mao Qingping and Yu Provincial Airlines. Mao Qingping is indeed very capable. And the desire to control is very strong. Within Yu Provincial Airlines, Mao Qingping alone owns 80 percent of the shares, and most of the remaining shares are in the hands of a group of executives around him.
Such a share distribution has the advantage of allowing Mao Qingping to completely control the company, but it will make the company lose the opportunity to become stronger and increase its resistance. When Yu Provincial Airlines has no other strong shareholders, as long as Mao Qingping is accurate, the entire company can be suppressed.
So Geng Feng began to become more unscrupulous after reconfirming that Mao Qingping had no background. During the operation, Geng Feng still used some means.
He first instructed the airport operations to find some reasons to delay the planes belonging to the Yu Provincial Airlines. At that time, the planes of Yu Provincial Airlines began to have frequent delays, but in the face of a large number of complaining customers, Mao Qingping was helpless. At first, he didn't know that this was Geng Feng's ghost. I thought that other companies were the same as my own.
However, he soon found that the situation was much more serious, and his company's plane was not only delayed. Sometimes even take-offs are canceled, and the reason for the cancellation is that the inspection is not qualified.
This is already an obvious signal, Mao Qingping also realized that someone was deliberately rectifying himself, otherwise his plane would suddenly be delayed in a large area, and there has been a phenomenon that he cannot take off because he cannot pass the inspection. Besides, the plane has been inspected so many times before, and there is no problem, why did it have an accident this time, and it was an accident with multiple planes.
Mao Qingping, who realized that something was wrong, also started his activities, he also had someone he knew at the airport, but it was not Geng Feng, the other party was just one of the executives of the airport. Although Mao Qingping and Geng Feng have met before, it was just that time, you must know that Geng Feng is not something that can be seen just by saying that he can see it. After that, Mao Qingping mostly contacted this executive.
After inviting the other party out, Mao Qingping humbly asked for advice, and then he learned a little bit of the so-called inside story through the other party, it turned out that the delay and ban on flying in his company during this period of time were the result of Geng Feng's action.
Now that he knows the source of the matter, Mao Qingping is not afraid. Although he didn't know when he offended the boss of the airport and made the other party make such a move, Mao Qingping believed that all contradictions would be resolved. He planned to visit Geng Feng in person, and Geng Feng, who received his call, also agreed to come out unexpectedly from Mao Qingping. Of course Geng Feng won't come out, he just plans to get money from Mao Qingping, if he doesn't come out, how can he let the other party know what he means?
That meeting was the second official meeting between the two people since the first meeting many years ago, Mao Qingping also made a lot of efforts for this meeting, and finally in the case that Mao Qingping gave a gift and apologized, Geng Feng said his conditions, Geng Feng asked Mao Qingping to give him 60% of the shares of Yu Provincial Airlines. Of course, it is not necessary to ask for shares, if it is directly cash. Geng Feng promised to reduce the amount to cash equal to the value of 50 percent of the shares of Yu Provincial Airlines. From here, it can be seen that what Geng Feng really wants is cash, and the proposal of 60% of the shares is just to make it easier for Mao Qingping to make a powerful choice for Geng Feng.
Mao Qingping, who heard Geng Feng's conditions at that time, was naturally stunned on the spot, he really didn't think that he had sinned against the other party. And when eating, Geng Feng couldn't say that Mao Qingping had done something wrong. In this case, Geng Feng put forward such a condition, making it clear that he wanted to ask for money, and he wanted so much at a time.
For the sake of a way to live, Mao Qingping, who has millions of dollars, will endure it, and it will not hurt to give it to Geng Feng. But who made Geng Feng want it too ruthlessly, it was directly 50% or 60% of the shares. Mao Qingping's biggest achievement after working hard all his life is this airline, and giving the other party so many shares or money at once is equivalent to letting Mao Qingping give most of his life's hard work.
The meeting between the two naturally broke up unhappily. No matter what, Mao Qingping would not agree to Geng Feng's conditions. Especially thinking that Geng Feng might be purely blackmailing himself, Mao Qingping hated the other party even more.
Mao Qingping is just a businessman, although he knows a few official figures. But when they asked for help from these people, they were helpless against Mao Qingping's problem. The people Mao Qingping was looking for were either not high enough in level, or they didn't have the slightest influence on Geng Feng, so it was impossible for Mao Qingping to give Geng Feng a good look. And there is no way to solve Geng Feng. Mao Qingping also has to face greater pressure from the other party.
Really. In the days that followed, news came that all planes of Yu Provincial Airlines, owned by Mao Qingping, were banned from taking off from Xinshi Airport. This directly took Mao Qingping's old life, and the fact that the plane could not take off meant that Mao Qingping could not make money. On the contrary, the cost of each day made Mao Qingping shocked.
Not to mention the cost of company management, that is, those planes do not have to spend a lot of maintenance costs every day. In particular, most of Mao Qingping's planes are not his own company, but are leased from other companies, and the cost of leasing will not be unwanted just because you don't take off.
When Lai Xiaohu first looked for Mao Qingping through Liu Wei, Mao Qingping and Geng Feng had not yet met, and Geng Feng had just made a move at that time. didn't even let Mao Qingping notice it. Thinking about how high-spirited Mao Qingping was at that time, but look at Mao Qingping who is begging for himself so much now. Even Lai Xiaohu had to sigh with emotion.
Although Mao Qingping's Henan Airlines makes money, it is still within everyone's acceptable range. But the speed at which Lai Xiaohu's Lejia supermarket makes money can't be described as terrifying, opening a Lejia supermarket is equivalent to developing a gold mine, making too much money every day.
Put yourself in your shoes, if Lai Xiaohu didn't have Li Gan and others behind him to support him, what would he be like now? The best outcome may be to give the company to others, and then go out of the house to find a place to continue to live incognito. And if it is more miserable, not only may you not be able to live, but even your family may be implicated. This is the reality of the world, wealth is moving, Lejia supermarket is equivalent to a huge gold mine, I don't know how many people in Ludao have long been tempted by this gold mine.
But in fact, up to now, Lai Xiaohu has not been strongly suppressed by a certain interest group, and even when he was most dangerous, he was still fighting with Song Xin, and the conflict between himself and Song Xin was more because of Song Yaqiao, and it had nothing to do with his Lejia supermarket.
He can have such a good environment, and Lai Xiaohu knows that Li Gan must have contributed the most behind this. Without Li Gan, his company might not have been able to grow in Jincheng from the beginning. Roca Supermarket has shown a terrifying ability to make money from the beginning, may no one be impressed? But none of those people dared to act. They are not afraid of Lai Xiaohu or Hu Haikun and others who have a good relationship with Lai Xiaohu, they are really afraid of Li Gan.
In the past, when he was in Jincheng, Li Gan was a god, and with him standing by Lai Xiaohu's side, who dared to act rashly, and even the two people who were higher than Li Gan's position in Jincheng * Chang and Shu* Ji had to sell Li Gan's face. With Li Gan, Lai Xiaohu can grow and grow safely in Jincheng without any suppression from the official. And then Shanghai was the same, it was Li Gan's high-profile support for Lai Xiaohu that made those local interest groups in Shanghai dare not move. Although Lejia Supermarket is very profitable, it is even more troublesome for those people to offend Li Gan.
Until now. Roca supermarkets have spread business across the country, but they still haven't faced repression from powerful interest groups, although there are some kittens and dogs bouncing underneath. But those people couldn't hurt Lai Xiaohu at all. What is all this thanks to, isn't it all Li Gan.
Now that the Lejia supermarket shop is so big, who wants to do it before the Lejia supermarket will not investigate the background of the Lejia supermarket, and as long as the investigation is carried out, the relationship between the Lejia supermarket and Li Qian will definitely be discovered. Everyone will be moved by the Lejia supermarket, but Li Gan's identity can calm everyone down.
Li Gan, the most powerful one among the younger generation in China, is recognized as the star of tomorrow. And except for Li Gan. Even the Li family behind Li Gan is not easy to mess with. With such a background, who would dare to attack Lejia Supermarket.
Of course, it's not that there is no one, there are always some people who don't know the height of the road after they have a little power below. Want to make a profit on Roca supermarket. However, for these people, Lai Xiaohu was very dismissive and dealt with them personally. Just because of them, they can't hurt Lejia Supermarket at all, but Lejia Supermarket can easily deal with them.
Now those who have the ability to swallow Lejia Supermarket must be people with extremely powerful power, and these people will not be unable to find out the relationship between Lejia Supermarket and Li Gan. Therefore, they who were afraid of Li Gan did not dare to do it. And those who can't investigate clearly generally don't have that strength, and wanting to annex Roca Supermarket is more like a joke.
Except for Li Gan. Lai Xiaohu also knows Shi Lei now. He expects to meet more people in the future, and he believes that the cornerstone of Roca Supermarket will be more solid in the future.
However, compared with the lucky Lai Xiaohu, Mao Qingping is not so lucky. Although he is many years older than Lai Xiaohu, Mao Qingping really doesn't know any high-ranking officials, so Geng Feng has no way to bully him. At this point, Lai Xiaohu is quite sympathetic to Mao Qingping. In fact, there are many capable businessmen like Mao Qingping who just want to do business honestly, but there are people who want to do wrong to them.
Of course, sympathy is sympathy. If there are not enough interests, Lai Xiaohu will not help Mao Qingping. I don't know how many such things happen every day in all parts of the world. If you take care of it yourself, then you won't offend everyone. There is no one who is not a powerful person who has the ability to make a way to overpower others.
Fortunately, Mao Qingping weighed it, rather than consuming it like this and letting the company die in vain or giving him a large number of shares in vain, it was better for him to transfer the shares to Lai Xiaohu. In this way, he can not only solve Geng Feng's trouble at a smaller cost, but also compared to Geng Feng, he is undoubtedly much more pleasing to Lai Xiaohu. Especially Lai Xiaohu has both money and background, and it will be much easier to do business after finding such a partner.
After Mao Qingping clarified the grievances between himself and Geng Feng, Lai Xiaohu saw Zhu Xun's gaze, and then pondered. In fact, when Mao Qingping said that he wanted to give Lai Xiaohu shares, Lai Xiaohu was already inclined to help him, especially after listening to Mao Qingping's story, the sense of justice and sympathy in his heart was also a little troublesome, and Lai Xiaohu's idea of wanting to help him was even stronger.
It's just that what does it cost to help him, and what will he get, Lai Xiaohu has to think about it.
At what cost? Is it nothing more than offending Geng Feng? But after being offended, Lai Xiaohu didn't know Geng Feng's situation and was not sure.
And this harvest, Lai Xiaohu knocked on the table and said: "In addition to the ten percent free shares, I also want to own as many company shares as you." The other shares, as you said, were transferred to me at a low price. Of course, I don't bully you, I don't need you to sell cheaply, as long as it is a little lower than the normal market price. What do you think? Are my conditions acceptable? ”
The reason why Mao Qingping's conditions made him excited was because Lai Xiaohu saw the possibility that he could own or control an airline. Setting up an airline is more cumbersome than setting up an air logistics company. At the beginning, Lai Xiaohu was troublesome and asked Zhu Xun if he was willing to sell the company to him, but Zhu Xun refused without hesitation, which made Lai Xiaohu have to continue to set up an air logistics company by himself. And now that there is such a good opportunity, Lai Xiaohu is of course unwilling to let it go. With Mao Qingping's conditions, Lai Xiaohu can not only control an airline, but also the development momentum of Henan Airlines is quite good, which makes Lai Xiaohu very excited.
As for how many shares do you want? Of course, Lai Xiaohu wants to take 100% of the shares. However, he also knew that Mao Qingping would definitely not agree to that case, and he would give up all the shares to Mao Qingping, so it was better to agree to Geng Feng's conditions. That's why Lai Xiaohu gave such a condition. He has the same shares as Mao Qingping, so Mao Qingping is still the largest shareholder of the company, and he can continue to manage the company as the chairman of the board, so he will not lose face.
As for Lai Xiaohu, he has the same shares as Mao Qingping, although he cannot act as the chairman, but if necessary, Lai Xiaohu believes that he can obtain the vast majority of the other 20% of the shares dispersed, and he has this confidence. In fact, the decision power of the company is still in the hands of Lai Xiaohu. (To be continued......)
