Dongcheng Hu Ji Restaurant. Private room No. C on the second floor.

Jia Wei waited inside with a relaxed expression, and the noisy atmosphere in the building below faintly spread.

May is about to pass, and after this month, he believes that Zhang Zhong and the others are already physically and mentally exhausted, and have no intention of competing with him, judging from the news brought back by Ye Mingcheng, it is indeed the case.

Ye Mingcheng came to the door to spread the word, some of them were only surprised and puzzled, but they did not have any anger and resentment, and even did not have any cold meaning, which was enough to explain everything.

"Second master, someone is here."

Just thinking about it, Zhou Yun outside the door passed inward.

Sure enough, when he heard a sound on the porch outside, Jia Wei turned around, and in his sight, Ye Mingcheng and a few people had appeared at the door of the private room.

"Everyone, please come in."

Ye Mingcheng smiled and invited these people in.

Jia Wei knew that these people were Zhang Zhong and others, so he also got up with a smile.

Ye Mingcheng immediately introduced the two sides.

"Everyone's coming, you are far away...... In the next faux pas. After listening to Ye Mingcheng's introduction, Jia Wei bowed to Zhang Zhong and the others.

"President Jia, don't say that, Director Ye is waiting for us outside the restaurant in person, and we are already panicking." Zhang Zhong and the others hurriedly laughed.

Speaking of which, they had secretly seen Jia Wei at this year's Lantern Festival, but at that time, Jia Wei was sitting in the color shed, and he couldn't see it very clearly.

Soon, after a few words of greeting, everyone sat down, and Ye Mingcheng also sat down at the table.

After three rounds of drinking, Jia Wei put the wine cup on the table, and got to the point, "Everyone, I invited you over tonight to discuss something, and for you, this is an opportunity......

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Zhang Zhong and the others also put down the wine cup and listened solemnly.

Although Ye Mingcheng had mentioned the word "opportunity" twice before, now that the word really came out of Jia Wei's mouth, they were still in good spirits.

Among them, Chen Wei, Wang Jin, and Lu Xing are not to mention.

As early as that time, the newspaper was blocked, and they were unwilling to continue to prepare for a new newspaper, so they tended to make a deal with Jia Wei and resell the customized copper movable type to Jia Wei to reduce their losses as much as possible.

Now that the newspaper is struggling, Jia Wei took the initiative to trade with them, and they have no reason not to be happy.

Of course, the situation of the newspaper is due to the other party, but the matter is already like this, and it is useless to dwell on this.

They have been in business for many years, and they are pragmatic in business, and they will not be rash.

Seeing that Zhang Zhong and the others were looking over, Jia Wei continued, "Speaking of this opportunity, I think you must also understand that the opportunity is not given for nothing" Speaking ......of this, Zhang Zhong and the others all smiled with a bit of tacit understanding, Jia Wei also smiled, paused slightly, and then said, "...... In the following words, please transfer all your shares to me, and I will give you a chance. ”

"President Jia, is this true?"

Before the words fell, Chen Wei asked first.

I forgot that this move was a bit of a gaffe.

"Nature is true. Why, Mr. Chen's letter is not enough? ”

In the idle talk of Shicai, it was learned that Chen Wei, Lu Xing, Qian Dongming, and Wang Jin were not only shareholders of the newspaper, but also served as the directors of various departments of the newspaper.

"Don't dare, don't dare, President Jia is such a figure, how can you not believe it?" Chen Wei's tone was flattering, and he was very excited at this time. Jia Wei actually wanted to buy their shares, and in such a situation as Shangjing Daily, they couldn't ask for it.

In this way, they only lost a few months of time and effort to prepare for a new newspaper, but the principal is still there.

That's the best outcome.

As long as they can buy their shares, the so-called opportunity will be secondary.

Like him, Zhang Zhong, Lu Xing, Qian Dongming, and Wang Jin were all excited when they heard this.

However, just when the others were immersed in it, Zhang Zhong quickly thought of it.

Does Jia Wei plan to buy this share transfer at the original price?

It is very likely that the other party wants to take advantage of the current situation of Shangjing Daily to buy their shares at a low price.

Thinking like this, Zhang Zhong smiled and said to Jia Wei, "I wonder how President Jia plans to acquire our shares?" ”

That's exactly what I'm going to say next...... It's not about acquisitions, it's just exchanging shares for shares. ”

"Share-for-shares?" Jia Wei's answer was unexpected, Zhang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and blurted out.

"Yes. As you may know, in addition to the business of the morning newspaper, there is also the business of the restaurant. Jia Wei said, looked at Zhang Zhong and the others, saw that they all nodded slightly, and then said, "In the second half of this year, in addition to Xinghualou, another restaurant will be opened in the next meeting, and you can have a certain share in this restaurant by transferring the shares of Shangjing Daily, what do you think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence at the table.

After a while, Zhang Zhong spoke, "It turns out that President Jia wants to spend nothing and take away the shares of our Shangjing Daily, and it is difficult for people to agree to this matter." ”

The other four also had a sneer on their faces.

"You can't say that." Jia Wei laughed, raised a hand, and gestured, "Yes, I don't plan to spend money to buy your shares, but it doesn't mean that you have suffered a loss." My Xinghualou's business is booming, with the help of the morning newspaper, I will open another restaurant, it is conceivable, it is still prosperous, and in the future, as a shareholder, the dividends will definitely not be less. That's why I say that this is an opportunity for you. You have been in business for many years, so you won't be so short-sighted, right? ”

To acquire all the shares of Zhang Zhong and others at the original price, it will cost 16,000 taels of silver, which is available in the account office of Yanjing Morning News, but Jia Wei cannot use it here, there are many places to spend money, and the third batch of copper movable type is still waiting for money.

If it is acquired at a low price, Zhang Zhong and others will definitely not allow it, and the horizontal and vertical losses will also be a big loss, so it is better to hold on.

He naturally didn't want Zhang Zhong and the others to hold on, no matter what, he had to cut through the mess quickly and take down the Shangjing Daily.

As soon as there was a Shangjing Daily office, there were other businesses that were ready to move and wanted to run a newspaper.

Second, only by winning the Beijing Daily, can the morning newspaper start to sell at a fixed price without competitors.

Therefore, the exchange of shares for shares is the result of his careful consideration.

It can be regarded as the capital operation means of the empty glove white wolf.

Of course, he is not fooling Zhang Zhong and others, he is full of confidence in the new restaurant that will be operated. Having said that, if he had enough funds in his hands, he would rather spend money to buy the shares of Zhang Zhong and others than exchange the shares of the new restaurant.

Hearing this, there was silence at the table again.

They are not worried that Jia Wei's promise will not be fulfilled in the future.

In this world, business matters, under normal circumstances, are export contracts, and there is no need to establish a written deed, if there is a reversal and violation, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the business field.

What's more, Jia Wei owns Yanjing Morning News and Xinghualou, and his reputation is outside, and it is impossible for him to destroy his reputation.

Speaking of which, Jia Wei's words moved them quite a lot.

Jia Wei has been holding a Taoist trial training class all the way, and all the businesses he has run have flourished.

The restaurant that will be operating should be no exception.

These few of them have also been worrying about what kind of business they will run in the future if they don't start a new newspaper, and now the other party is exchanging shares for shares, so that they can become shareholders of the new restaurant, as the other party said, it is really a rare opportunity.

It's just that the other party didn't pay a penny, so they had to take away their shares in Shangjing Daily, and the new restaurant had to wait until the second half of the year, and now there is no shadow, which really makes them feel unspeakably depressed and aggrieved.

PS: It is true that a lot of commerce in ancient times was an export contract, and there was no written deed.
