Chapter 19: Roundabout (1)
In the dim light, a slow blues piece sounded intermittently, and the performer sat on a barstool, holding the blues harmonica to the rhythm of the night.
The guests in the audience were scattered in twos and threes in front of the small round table, whispering in low voices. From time to time, someone raised their hand, and a waiter with a white towel on his arm would walk over and bend down, waiting for the guest's instructions.
Nie Peng sat in a corner of the side hall at this time, sinking his body into a soft collapse, looking at the steaming coffee in the cup. The column of air mottled and hovered under the illumination of the spotlight, reflecting the two people on the opposite side who were looking down at the paper.
Chen Panpan and Di Jiaying.
Yes, Di Jiaying also participated in this business negotiation, in line with one more help and one more success rate, Nie Peng didn't care how she was persuaded by Chen Panpan, so she came here.
At this time, he was pondering the motives of Ah Silikang.
After these days of preparation, the three people who had asked themselves to be foolproof were caught off guard by their negotiators yesterday, like three chicks facing an eagle.
At this time, the document that Chen Panpan flipped in his hand was yesterday's negotiation minutes, and a pen was repeatedly circled on the paper, and in a circle the size of a lychee, it was written:
Acquisition of 3 grams of intermediates at a price of 1 million euros/gram.
This is the price given by the negotiating opponents, and when they see this offer, they can't even believe their eyes. This price is even more than 65% of the cost price of 600,000 euros/gram calculated by Chen Panpan.
No negotiator will take the initiative to buy at a premium, especially when it comes to products that cost less to make their own than they were purchased, just as no one wants to trade the same weight of gold for silver.
Just when the three of them were shocked by Ah Silikang's routine, the other party threw a second bomb.
Share Swap Agreement.
When they saw this agreement, Chen Panpan and Di Jiaying could still bite it down, but Nie Peng didn't understand it at all. For a limited company like Duanxing, there are no shares, where is the equity?
He was completely unfamiliar with this field, and immediately stopped the negotiation, signaled the other party to give them some time to think about it, and the other party actually agreed on the spot, no longer talked about the issue of cooperation, and instead chatted with the three of them about the customs.
In the next half a day, the three of them ate and played together, and spent a lot of money, but under Chen Panpan's eyes, Nie Peng still took out his pocket painfully.
After the dinner, when the person in charge of the other party held Nie Peng's hand, smiled and modestly said that he asked Mr. Nie to reply as soon as possible, Nie Peng found that he seemed to be in the other party's way.
To retreat into advance, force him to make a decision.
Today's expenses are just the beginning, if he drags on indefinitely, he really can't bear these old bottoms.
Damn, inexperience kills people.
After finally sending each other to the hotel, the three of them looked at the café in the distance, and it seemed that they had a lot of ideas for each other.
"Xiaopeng, my sister will talk to you about the issue of equity replacement first." Chen Panpan is not a few years older than Nie Peng, but he rarely uses "I" when he opens and closes his mouth, but calls himself his sister, and with his soft gaze, he once made Nie Peng feel warm.
I don't know what Chen Tuan is afraid of her.
"Equity replacement, as its literal meaning, is cross-held by both parties, and the purpose is to establish a relationship of interest." Chen Panpan said slowly.
"If Duanxing is a 100 billion dollar company, then this is a bundle of interests. But in the current state of the bank, this replacement requirement is like... ”
"Acquisition Agreement." Di Jiaying, who was sitting on the side, said that at this moment, she had completely changed her momentum, and her eyes flashed rapidly, as if she was rapidly deducing something.
"For the current value of Duanxing, no matter who you ask for capital injection, the capital that can be increased in the short term is extremely limited, if you agree to exchange with Aslicon, then you must be the shareholder of Aslicicon, and Aslikang becomes your controlling shareholder." Di Jiaying's tone was firm.
"No, equity swaps rarely involve a change of control, right?" Chen Panpan turned his head to look at Di Jiaying and asked puzzled.
"Yes, if we see him as an acquisition." Di Jiaying took the document in Chen Panpan's hand and continued:
"There is a suspicion of interest transfer when you buy at a premium of 65%, if you really carry out equity restructuring and join the interest cluster of Ah Si Likang. Then he has too many ways for you to spit those profits back.
Although you are not the legal person and actual controller of Duanxing, under the absolute capital dumping, Duanxing will inevitably expose the laboratory behind it, and then they will skip Duanxing and directly connect with the laboratory in your mouth.
Because, they judged, Duanxing is just a tentacle stretched out by the power behind you, and what they want is to touch this octopus along the antennae. Di Jiaying's reasoned and well-founded analysis, Chen Panpan nodded in agreement on the side, but it was indeed Nie Peng who was embarrassed.
Where did the octopus come from, where did the laboratory come from, it was all made up by himself, how did this end?
"What if we don't agree to their share swap?" Nie Peng asked Di Jiaying.
"It may be a price cut, but it will still leave a profit margin. Maybe I will look for other ways to tempt, you ask Panpan, I'm not good at it. ”
"In this case, let's delay it for a while, I can't agree to the issue of equity replacement, no matter what price he offers, the laboratory can't be dominated by them." Now that he has reached this point, Nie Peng is naturally prepared for the worst, and in the end it is nothing more than a collapse.
As soon as he holds the diamond, is he still afraid that he will not be able to do porcelain work? There are high-quality and low-cost diamonds in the world, but there is only this one, and there is no semicolon.
"Okay, since you've decided, let's see the move, and see if Ah Silikang can sit still." Chen Panpan nodded, as if she had completely forgotten that her cousin was the actual legal person of Duanxing.
。。。。。。
In the room of Chen Zhong, the negotiator of Ah Si Likang, it was very relaxed. As the secretary of the deputy general manager of China, it is rare for him to receive such a comfortable job.
Although his position is not high, he has been in a position responsible for front-line decision-makers all the year round, which still makes him tainted with a lot of high-level momentum.
"Mr. Chen" gathered in the room with several people who came with him, and one of them asked, "Do you say that Duanxing will agree to our agreement?" ”
"Whatever he wants, agree or disagree." Chen Zhong said an ambiguous word, and there was no follow-up, and several people were confused.
Chen Zhong's purpose, as Di Jiaying inferred, was to test the forces behind Nie Peng. As for the success of the purchase of the product, it has nothing to do with him.
As a secretary, he does not participate in decision-making, but can only play the role of coordination and liaison. Those price issues should be left to the accompanying business negotiations.
"Xiao Tong, get ready to go to Mr. Nie's alma mater tomorrow to visit." Chen Zhong said to one of the members who accompanied him.
"Oh, okay, do you need to contact the other party to accompany you?" The member, surnamed Tong, asked, he didn't know why Secretary Chen always called Nie Peng Mr. Nie, which didn't make sense in terms of rank or age.
Maybe there is some background, otherwise why lead the team yourself.
"No, just contact the school."
。。。。。。
Early the next morning, Chen Tuan got up from the dormitory and went to the laboratory, and after separating from Chen Panpan Di Jiaying last night, he was busy until late when he came back to check the culture tank, so he didn't go home.
Last night, I found that the power of one solar battery had bottomed out, so I moved it back to the lab to recharge, but fortunately, I ordered two solar panels at that time, and the other one was still strong enough to support a while.
After returning the fully charged battery from the laboratory to the moon and connecting it, the reproduction of the bacteria inside the tank was confirmed, and it was found that there was already a variant in the culture box that was sufficient to use as a culture medium.
Finally it was time to harvest, Nie Peng took it back to the laboratory, carefully transplanted the mutant into the utensil, dripped the prepared reagents in, looked at the time on the wall clock, half past six, it was just enough to come back from breakfast.
But on the other side of the ocean, there are already people who can't eat with excitement. Haven was standing in a small screening room at the moment, pointing to the projection screen and explaining excitedly.
The room was dim, and the people sitting in military uniforms looked as usual, and the medals on their chests were of various colors.
The photo on the screen, taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, can vaguely identify two square objects on the rock when zoomed in, but the exact composition cannot be confirmed because the site is located in the back of the sun.
"Gentlemen, look here, except for these two square objects." Harvin zoomed in on the image, pointed to a few distinctly whitish pixels, and said, "Here, here, and here, hue feedback has been found that is different from the surface of the moon rock. And the ground they were on was extremely unusual. ”
As he spoke, he brought up another photo and displayed it on the screen at the same time.
"This is a photo of the moon rock taken by the LRO at an altitude of 20 kilometers in April this year, and after a lot of comparison, we found that there has never been a rock with this texture. In addition, we also photographed these very regular objects, which according to the data from the detection instruments showed that they were not rocks. ”
There was a faint movement from several high-ranking officials, which finally made Harvin feel that he was not speaking on the same pile of wood.
"Can it be ruled out that it is artificial?" One of them asked.
"No human has ever set foot here, and the nearest landing site is the Huaxia Chang'e-3, 860 kilometers away. And their lunar rover has a range of activity of only 10 km. Haven blurted out, clearly prepared.
Several people nodded, and instead of continuing to ask, they asked Haven for the photo and left. Not long after leaving the house, a group of men in black suits entered, and when Harvin thought they were going to pull some amnestics out of their lined pockets (a nod to Black Super), it turned out that it was just a Security Service commissioner who had come to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
