Chapter 218 Low air pressure at the shareholders' meeting
In fact, there are not many shareholders who have the right to participate in voting, but in order to show the solemnity of the shareholders' meeting, it is held in a large conference room. Everyone sat around the long conference table, and the few people who were originally few seemed even more indifferent and detached. I haven't attended Yingjia's shareholders' meeting, so I don't know how this time is arranged, in short, my opposite is Qiao Yi'an.
Qiao Yichen sat in the middle and nodded at Zhen Yu. Zhen Yu said in a deep voice: "Miss Jing Xin got five percent of the shares in the hands of Chairman Qiao Hankun and participated in today's shareholders' meeting as a new shareholder. ”
There was a sparse round of applause in the conference room, and I nodded to the shareholders as a greeting. Obviously, they didn't welcome me, but why...... Of course, I know that. I used to work in Yingjia, and I also accompanied Qiao Yichen to Yingjia's appreciation reception, and they are no strangers to me. And the old man gave me five percent of the shares, which naturally recognized my status. Qiao Yichen and Rong Qingqian were engaged vigorously before, and now I have five percent of the shares on the front foot, and the stock on the back foot has fallen to a mess. As long as you have a little brain, you can think that this is Rong Zhentang angry for his beloved daughter. In other words, it's basically understandable that because of me, the stock in their hands is shrinking every minute now, and it's strange that they can treat me.
Qiao Yichen gently buttoned the table: "Today's shareholders' meeting is to discuss the next project operation with you." You should know that there have been many problems at the Cuihu construction site recently, and there are also flaws in building materials. Now that the reinforced concrete has been driven into the foundation, fortunately, the project is still in the early stage, and I have drawn up a plan with the engineers of the engineering department, and decided to rebuild the main building of the hotel after demolition. If you have a better suggestion, feel free to let us know. ”
"Didn't the previous quality inspection report say that the building materials were only partially problematic? Need to tear down and rebuild such a big move? Tang Qiang was the first to speak.
"There is indeed a problem with the building materials, but the project is so large, where are the unqualified building materials used, and it is impossible to inspect one square meter at a time." Qiao Yichen's voice was not loud, but it was full of breathless indifference, like a king dominating the world, and his strong aura made it difficult to ignore his opinion, "The foundation is not a small problem, and now it is bulldozing to push three layers." If there is a mistake in the pool, a building can be torn down. ”
"Since it has been demonstrated with the engineer, it should be no problem technically, and we also believe in Mr. Qiao's judgment." The eldest of them spoke, and the other shareholders nodded in agreement.
"Since everyone thinks this plan is feasible, let's move on to the next question." Qiao Yichen asked Zhen Yu to send the summarized financial statements to the shareholders, "This is the financial situation summarized by the General Manager's Office overnight yesterday, and there is only so much money on the company's books at present." The problem is that the investors are currently refusing to continue to inject capital, and the reconstruction of the project will inevitably delay the construction period, and it will also involve a series of liquidated damages compensation issues. So now a lot of financing is needed to get the project back up and running, and once the Cuihu project collapses, the company's normal operation will be in trouble, and the current stock price is unstable, and the worst result is to file for bankruptcy protection with the CSRC. You are all the backbone of the company, and it is time to contribute to the operation of the company. As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high. ”
Qiao Yichen is asking for internal financing, what he said is not wrong at all, but the dividends at the end of the year are naturally as much as possible, and now if you want to spit out the money you eat, it is completely a tiger's mouth and a tooth extraction, basically no fun.
At this time, a shareholder sitting next to Tang Qiang spoke: "We all understand what Mr. Qiao said, but the shares in our hands are limited, and most of them are pressed in the company, and there is not much to invest in all the dividends." ”
No one wants to pay for it, and now that someone says it, everyone naturally agrees.
"We can't stop the work until we find a new investor." As soon as Qiao Yichen spoke, everyone quieted down again, "The only way now is to borrow from the bank, and now there are two options, whether we use shares as collateral or use the land of Cuihu as collateral." ”
"Which part of the shares does Joe always plan to use as collateral?" Tang Qiang asked rhetorically.
"In this situation in the company, I also have an unshirkable responsibility as a decision-maker, and I decided to use my shares as collateral......" Qiao Yichen said indifferently.
"Ahem." Qiao Yi'an coughed lightly, "I don't think using shares as collateral should not be used as an alternative at all, first of all, the company's stock price continues to fall, and the amount of money that can be borrowed is limited; Secondly, if there is another problem with the Cuihu project and we cannot repay the loan as soon as possible, the bank will inevitably change its shareholding. If someone plots to take advantage of the fire, the company's shareholder structure may change dramatically. ”
Qiao Yi'an is completely right, it is indeed too risky to use shares as collateral. In case something goes wrong, Qiao Yichen will have no say in Yingjia.
"In that case, vote. There are relatively few of us, so we will vote by show of hands, and if you agree to mortgage the shares, please raise your hand. Qiao Yichen was the first to raise his hand, "I personally favor using shares as collateral." ”
The land of Cuihu belongs to the company, and everyone is at risk if it is mortgaged. The shares are Qiao Yichen's own, and other shareholders do not suffer losses, so naturally there are more shareholders who support the use of shares as collateral. However, the vote is a vote, not on the basis of the head, but on the basis of the shares held. Qiao Yi'an and Qiao Yichen's shares are basically the same, and Qiao Yi'an also has supporters, so when Qiao Yi'an and Qiao Yichen disagreed, the dividing point of this voting result actually fell on me.
I was inclined to Qiao Yi'an's opinion, but when I was at home, I promised Qiao Yichen to stand by his side. I vaguely felt that the current situation was expected by Qiao Yichen early on, so he gave me a 'preventive shot' in advance. If he hadn't specifically explained, according to my own wishes, I would have chosen to support Qiao Yi'an.
Everyone focused their eyes on me, and I gritted my teeth and raised my hand. Zhen Yu announced the voting results, and after statistics, he finally decided to use the shares as collateral to borrow from the bank.
After the meeting ended, perhaps out of tacit understanding, only Qiao Yichen, me, and Qiao Yi'an were left in the conference room.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Qiao Yi'an's tone was quite polite, but it was difficult to hide the anger in his emotions, "Moving shares is playing with fire, you can't see that this is Rong Zhentang behind his back?" He shook the stock price just to settle in Yingjia, you are good, now throw away the shares, he will also toss the project of Cuihu in order to get these shares. ”
Qiao Yi'an is all right, but I don't believe that Qiao Yi'an can think of a problem, Qiao Yichen will not think of it.
"As I said earlier, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this situation in the company. The mistake I made naturally did not make all shareholders pay the bill. Qiao Yichen casually tapped the table with the pen in his hand.
"You're not being responsible, you're being extremely irresponsible to the company!" Qiao Yi'an's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Qiao Yichen.
"I've said a long time ago that if you're sure, you can sit in this position, but if not, you'd better respect the results of the shareholder vote." Qiao Yichen raised his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes, cold and dazzling. In the conference room, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, just like a balloon that had been blown to the limit, and it only needed a thin needle tip to poke it, and it would explode with a bang.
"That's not what I meant!" Qiao Yi'an took a deep breath and turned to walk out of the conference room.
Qiao Yichen and I were the only two people left in the huge conference room, we looked at each other, and finally I said pertinently: "I think what Qiao Yi'an said is not wrong at all." ”
"Huh." Qiao Yichen suddenly smiled, "Then you still raise your hand?" ”
"I remember telling you that even if everyone thinks you're wrong, I'll choose to stand with you and be the enemy of the whole world." I still don't understand what Qiao Yichen wants to do, he may have a plan to turn the tide; Or maybe it's just pride, wanting to take on the so-called responsibility. I don't want to think about the benefits and disadvantages now, as long as it is Qiao Yichen's decision, it is my decision.
"What more could a husband ask for if he had a wife like this?" Qiao Yichen looked at his watch: "What do you want to eat for lunch?" ”
"Casually...... "I really don't have an appetite now, after listening to Qiao Yi'an's analysis of Rong Zhentang, my heart is heavy." If I were to use one word to describe Qiao Yichen at this time, it would not be 'responsible', not 'restrained', nor 'wise', but 'lonely'. Qiao Yichen always seems to like to choose a difficult path to move forward, and he can fully foresee such an outcome, but he still insists on going, which requires more courage than the fearlessness of the ignorant.
"How's the French food?" Qiao Yichen put the pen in his pocket.
"When is it...... Aren't you in the mood for a big meal to celebrate? I was speechless.
"You always have to eat at any time, and when you're full, you have the strength to do things, don't you?" Qiao Yichen grabbed my waist and led me out.
"Let's go eat Vietnamese food." When I think of sour and spicy Vietnamese food, I seem to have a bit of an appetite for French food.
"You can say anything." Qiao Yichen smiled at me with a drowning face, his smile was so real that I was a little distracted.
Qiao Yichen helped me buckle my seat belt and said, "Can you still go to the old restaurant?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded, then turned my head to look at Qiao Yichen: "Actually...... If you have to pledge your shares, you might as well pledge them to the bank as well as mortgage them to me. "If the loan can't be repaid, the bank will change the shares, but if the shares are in my hands, I will not let it flow out anyway.
"Baby, you don't believe me?" Qiao Yichen pinched my cheek.
"It's because I believe in you that I dare to ask for it, I'm not too much money to use, I know that I lose money and use money to waste!" Although my heart is not steady, I have a hard mouth.
