Chapter 156: Good News
This also starts with Jianggan Industrial's acquisition of the voting shares of the Li Group.
On the fourth day of the fermentation of the prodigal son group's press release, Li Shaoqing could not withstand the pressure of the board of directors and the anxiety in his heart, and decided to sell 33% of the voting shares in his hand to Jianggan Industrial.
So far, the two companies have officially become business strategic partners.
Jianggan Industrial also owns 33% of the dividend shares and voting shares of the Li Group, and officially has a seat on the board of directors.
There is no other reason, but because after Li Shaoqing sold these voting shares to Jianggan Industrial, Jianggan Industrial became the second largest shareholder of the Li Group, and the voting shares in Li Shaoqing's hands were only 1% different.
Although verbally, He Bu promised Li Shaoqing that he would never let the headquarters acquire the voting shares of those small shareholders again, and would let Li Shaoqing sit firmly in the position of the first shareholder.
But behind the scenes, Li Shaoqing still knows very well that now it is not Liu Lang who he should guard against, but He Buyi and Jianggan Industry.
If one is not careful, these people risk taking away his position as a major shareholder.
The blessing in disguise is that Jianggan Industrial did inject 2 billion yuan into the Li Group for the development of real estate in the urban area.
This is also thanks to the news that He Bu heard from the municipal side that there is a community in the urban area that is seriously aging and is about to be demolished.
The municipal government is not going to use a competitive bidding method for this land, but to choose a socially responsible developer from among the indigenous enterprises in China Overseas to appoint it.
It can be said that as long as this piece of land is taken down now, the Li family will be able to turn the crisis into safety.
Three days later, the Lee Group held a general meeting of shareholders to discuss whether to resume the supply of building materials for the Thousand Hope Primary School project.
If it is restored, it will prove that they said this before, the behavior of the shares of the building materials company is wrong, and the decision to acquire is directly made by Li Shaoqing, so it is tantamount to letting him carry this black pot.
But if it does not recover, public opinion on the Internet will not stop for a moment, and as long as public opinion does not stop for a moment, the shares of the Li Group will not recover.
And it will only be a matter of time before it shrinks by half.
As for Liu Lang's proposal to buy the shares of those building materials companies in their hands at a price drop of 50%, this is simply a fool's dream, Li Shaoqing cannot agree, Jianggan Industry cannot agree, and these small shareholders are even more unlikely to agree.
As for face and interests, these shareholders finally chose the latter, face can not be wanted, but money cannot be left unearned.
So after Li Shaoqing and He Buyi's vote, these building materials companies controlled by the prodigal son group officially planned to resume the supply of building materials to Qianza Hope Primary School.
At the same time, Li Shaoqing also learned from Liu Lang and issued a notice in the name of the group's official platform, which was reprinted on the official blog.
The original text goes like this:
From some recent news reports, we have noticed that due to some project changes within the group, the project has been delayed, we understand and respect and very much support the philanthropic behavior of the company, and feel deeply sorry for this, from today the group will fully cooperate with the company to build the project of the Thousand Hope Primary School, to build a platform for children in backward areas to enjoy a good education.
Above, with you to encourage.
…………
To be honest, this is just a very official report, but when it falls under the name of the Li Group, it instantly becomes the finger of thousands of people.
Under the official blog, it was almost drowned out by scolding.
"It's long overdue, you're a big company that's still like this, you don't have a sense of social responsibility, and you're ashamed."
"Hehe, why did you go earlier? Only now did he come out to be a good man. ”
"The money of the prodigal group is about to be exhausted by you, so it's good that you have come forward."
"Despicable and shameless, I've never seen you like this who can even do charity for the sake of competition."
"I****, you***, day****."
"And what about Jianggan Industry, he is now your major shareholder, and he won't come out to say anything?"
"Sure enough, it is ruthless exploitation, and the issue of children's education has become your capital for maneuvering, and the Li Group will die."
"I wish you all the better if you go out of business soon, or be bought by the Prodigal Son."
"Garbage, hazardous garbage."
………………
In the end, there was not a single good thing to say, even if there was one person standing on the position of the Li Group.
And Liu Lang also looked at these comments and was happy.
He didn't expect it to go so smoothly, originally he thought that the Li Group would be able to carry it for a month, and then give in after the stock market really bottomed out, but he didn't expect that Jianggan Industrial's funds had been injected, and he directly changed his business strategy.
Before this, Liu Lang received news that Li Shaoqing had sold 33% of his voting shares to Jianggan Industrial.
This move seems to bind Jianggan Industry and the Li Group tightly together, but in fact, it is clear that it is impossible for the two of them to come together again.
Jianggan Industry is much larger than the Li Group, so the next step is to either swallow the Li Group, or sacrifice the Li Group as a cannon fodder to create greater commercial value.
So Liu Lang is not worried at all, and the previous prodigal son group has acquired the raw material suppliers needed to make the flowers bloom, at this time production has resumed, and online sales have fully recovered, and there is even a precursor to a surge.
Previously, the Prodigal Group had already issued an acquisition notice, and at that time, some small brands took the initiative to contact the Prodigal Group, hoping to be acquired and the price was negotiable.
Now the prodigal group has once again issued a notice that it is willing to package and acquire many sub-brands of that foreign pharmaceutical company.
While causing an uproar in the market, the pharmaceutical company really took the initiative to contact Liu Lang, because Liu Lang only asked the media department to issue an announcement, and did nothing else.
This kind of active contact and request for acquisition is acceptable for ordinary small brands to happen, but the depth issued by this pharmaceutical company is not ordinary.
Liu Lang was directly embarrassed, and let the official blog of the waves bloom one by one issued a notice.
It is not a direct show-off, but a statement, the same company has launched a request to them to be acquired, in the acquisition plan, several sub-brands are covering people's daily chemical field products, the market share is more than 90%, so please be patient and wait for the new products that bloom one by one.
After this notice is issued, consumers will no longer buy their products, at least not too much at one time, and will almost start to wait and see the new products that will bloom one by one.
The consumer response turned the announcement into a killer feature, further reducing the value of the pharmaceutical company's sub-brands.
The value has fallen, and the only way they can stop their losses is to lower the purchase price again.
In the end, Liu Lang received their offer, 5 sub-brands, 5 billion.
To be honest, this price has been compressed very much, because the price calculated by Liu Lang was 20 billion, but that was after the premium of 200%.
Before there was no premium, these 5 platforms were worth at least more than 10 billion, and now their market value has shrunk by more than half because of the squeeze of the entire market by waves, and the terrifying monopoly power, as well as consumer loyalty.
But even if the price is reduced so much, except for the prodigal son group, no other group in China will spend 5 billion to acquire a brand that has compressed nearly half of the market.
Because discerning people can see that these brands can only survive in the hands of the waves, otherwise, they will always be suppressed by the waves until they can't survive.
Who would interfere in such a loss-making transaction?
So on Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Lang met with representatives of the foreign pharmaceutical company in his office, and then filled and revised the contract, and finally signed it.
50 billion, swept away in an instant.
At this moment, Liu Lang has really been hollowed out, Langhua Precious Metals has not yet started business, and the money from the sale of diamonds in his hand has been transferred to the account of the old city renovation project.
And these 5 billion are the net profits generated by the waves and other side businesses.
But since then, all products in the domestic daily chemical field have been almost monopolized by the waves.
The existing products continue to be sold in the market, while the foundry has all stopped production, and after changing to the new packaging that is blooming one by one, it will be sold again.
It can be said that since the end of the year, the biggest good news for the prodigal son group.
But there have been too many good news recently, so much so that after Liu Lang gave each department a bonus of 5 million, he received bad news from Zheng Guang.
In a verdict that just ended in the morning, the legal department of the prodigal group suffered a defeat.
It has nothing to do with daily chemicals, nor does it have anything to do with diamonds, but it has to do with the field of real estate development.
The reason for the judgment is that Langhua Real Estate has not yet obtained the land development and use certificate, nor does it have the construction qualifications, so it directly launched the Thousand Hope Primary School Project.
Although this is a charity project that benefits the country and the people, and it is also the result of being given the green light by various localities, but without qualifications, that is, without funds, it is one thing whether the Hope Primary School built by such a company can pass the security check in the end.
Some time ago, the Li Group and Jianggan Industry stopped supplying materials, which led to the shelving of the Thousand Hope Primary School project, which has caused countless infamy.
Now the prodigal group is illegally constructing, which is equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the gun, and the gun is still their own.
Due to the conclusive evidence, if you don't get the land development and use certificate, you don't get it, and you don't have the construction qualifications, you just don't.
Even if it is made up later, it is illegal first.
Even though Zheng Guang appealed in court, arguing that Langhua Real Estate and Langhua Apartment did not make a penny of profit from the Thousand Hope Primary School plan, but also posted a lot of money from the headquarters.
However, he was still sentenced to a fine of 200 million yuan and stopped the construction of the former Hope Elementary School project until the court found a developer who deemed it suitable to build the 100000 Hope Elementary School project.
"Can you still play like this?"
Liu Lang didn't react when he received this call, he wasn't ready to start building a real estate project, so he naturally didn't think about it.
But this is too wronged, although he is selfish, so he let Langhua Real Estate and Langhua Apartment be responsible for the construction of Qianza Hope Primary School, but now being used by others, it makes Liu Lang feel that a good person is not rewarded.
After all, he has a monopoly on his own project, and he can also put an end to the possibility of charity funds being used and abused.
"Mr. Lang, what should we do now?"
On the phone, Zheng Guang also lost his attention, after all, he had never lost a battle from beginning to end, and he didn't expect his opponent to pick up such a leak.
Liu Lang was very entangled at this time, because a fine of 200 million yuan is a trivial matter, although the group's current liquidity has become scarce with the implementation of the acquisition plan, but 200 million is still no problem.
But the problem is that if this matter is not properly resolved, it is not enough to pay the fine.
"Come back, come to my office for a meeting."
After speaking, Liu Lang hung up the phone and called Bai Lan's office again.
"Mr. Xiaobai, let me tell you good news."
