Chapter 198: An Inexplicable Sense of Superiority

"You?" Cheng Xueqing looked at Gu Yun suspiciously, "Issuing additional shares to you?" Can you afford it, and do you have any funds other than the money from selling the secret recipe? ”

Cheng Xueqing felt that if Gu Yun could still come up with funds, it would mean that his identity as a high school student was fake, or at least on the surface, and there must be a force behind him.

Even the Cheng family couldn't investigate the forces, which made Cheng Xueqing a little vigilant.

Gu Yun got up unhurriedly, picked up the small teacup in front of Cheng Xueqing, and gave her the little soup left in the pot and put it in front of her.

Then he said, "Of course I don't have any money, but do you have to send me more money?" ”

Cheng Xueqing felt as if she understood Gu Yun's words, and immediately said, "You mean that I will issue additional shares to you for free?" ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, the other party was just a high school student, and she was really naΓ―ve to think about it.

Even if you control the board of directors and hold more than 50% of the controlling stake, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want!

You must know that if you issue additional shares for free, this is obviously suspected of benefit transfer, and when the time comes, Changyin Capital will go directly to the regulatory department to sue, and it will definitely be accurate, so that not to mention the plan of additional issuance, even the two of them will go to jail!

While gently stirring the soup in the small pot with a spoon, she thought about how to tell Gu Yun this simple truth, and when she saw that there were still a few diced pieces of pulp in the bowl this time, her mood suddenly became much brighter.

This guy finally remembered how to treat girls correctly?

"Mr. Gu, some things are not as simple as you think." Cheng Xueqing tried her best to use a gentle tone and said to Gu Yun, "If we do this, it is likely that we will be empty of people and money at that time." This involves not only issues of business principles, but also issues of laws and regulations. ”

After all, a teenager of this age is very sensitive, and if he is pointed out by someone he likes, he will be embarrassed - especially when he is picked on by the first girl he likes in his life.

Gu Yun still looked at Cheng Xueqing with a smile, he knew that Cheng Xueqing would say this, but he wanted Cheng Xueqing to say such a thing.

This woman, who grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth and graduated from a prestigious school, has countless flowers and applause everywhere on the road of life, although she has encountered some setbacks now, but it is not enough for her to see herself clearly.

She was too confident and too proud.

What Gu Yun has to do now is to let her know herself clearly, knowing that she is more tender than the peeled lychees in the bowl.

Cheng Xueqing saw that Gu Yun didn't speak, but looked at herself meaningfully with an inexplicable smile, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

I can't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Nothing." Gu Yun chuckled, and then said, "In fact, if you can think outside the box, you will find that there are many ways to get shares without spending money. ”

Cheng Xueqing said "heh" in disbelief, and then said, "So, please ask Mr. Gu for some advice?" ”

"There is a kind of investment called 'strategic investment', and I think Cheng must have learned it at Harvard Business School." Gu Yun said unhurriedly, "Zhushajiao Ancient Town Development Company is now in deep crisis, if you want to save the ancient town, the only way is to bundle it with my secret recipe, does Mr. Cheng admit it?" ”

"I'll admit it." Cheng Xueqing nodded, after all, this is an indisputable fact.

"So have I formally signed a contract with your company, promising that these secret recipes must only be used in Guzhen?"

Cheng Xueqing scooped a spoonful of fruit soup and just put it to her mouth, when she heard the words, she paused, and looked at Gu Yun for a while, as if she understood something.

That's right, he has no obligation to commit to this, and once he also uses the secret recipe to open a store outside Guzhen, then Guzhen's future core competitiveness will be gone.

The building of core competitiveness is part of the strategy, so the strategic investment he refers to is......

In the end, it is a top student of Harvard Business School, Cheng Xueqing finally thinks that she understands.

"I understand, what Mr. Gu means is to use the secret recipe to limit the use of Guzhen as a bargaining chip to replace the additional shares issued by Guzhen? It's still a bit ......."

Gu Yun waved his hand lightly and said, "To be exact, it is to grant Guzhen the exclusive global general agent rights of the secret recipe for fifteen years, plus a commitment to inject 150 million yuan within three years to obtain 35% of Guzhen's additional shares." ”

After a pause, he smiled slightly, "The necessity of this transaction, I believe you are very good at writing in the announcement, because in fact, the secret recipe can indeed become the core asset of Guzhen's strategy, and the capital injection of 150 million yuan is enough to acquire 35% of the current shares of Guzhen, no matter which point is impeccable." Is this still a transfer of benefits? ”

Cheng Xueqing's hand was still holding the spoon, but it was like a sculpture, looking at Gu Yun motionlessly.

This...... It is indeed impeccable.

First of all, the exclusive agency of the secret recipe is exchanged for shares as an asset, which is very common in the world, and when international luxury brands enter the country, they often use this method, only exporting brands and technologies to the national general agent, but they have to account for a large number of shares, and some will even ask for a controlling stake.

Therefore, there is no problem in terms of operation logic, if Changyin Capital must find fault and sue, it can only focus on whether this secret recipe is worth 35% of Guzhen's shares.

In fact, it's certainly worth it.

But Cheng Xueqing knows that this issue is not a subjective judgment, if it goes to court, it is impossible to say that the judge thinks these secret recipes are delicious and worth the price, it needs real business operations to prove.

So this ......

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Xueqing suddenly raised her head and glanced at Gu Yun with a surprised face.

This guy ...... Seems to have been arranged a long time ago?

Cheng Xueqing found that the previous and subsequent auctions of the secret recipe could just verify how valuable the secret recipe was - in just 3 years of operation rights, he could auction at least more than 80 million, so the 15-year global exclusive operation right is estimated to be 35% of the current 500 million residual value of Chenggu Town, that is, 175 million, which is completely reasonable, and can even be said to be authorized at a discount.

At that time, all the buyers who have won the operation rights are direct witnesses, and those contracts are evidence, and the human and material evidence is complete, which can effectively prove the reasonableness of the transaction.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xueqing couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, the high school student in front of her was so thoughtful and meticulous in layout that it was beyond her imagination.

Does this world really exist...... A genius in some sense?

In addition to being shocked, Cheng Xueqing didn't know what words to use to describe her current mood.

I don't know why, but she's a little glad that he's an ally of her own, not an enemy.

Only now, there is one more thing she doesn't understand.

According to her analysis, in fact, there is no need to invest another 150 million, and those secret recipes are enough to exchange for 35% of the shares.

So why did he promise to invest another 150 million in three years?

Didn't he say he had no money?

The more Cheng Xueqing thought about it, the more curious she became, she found that Gu Yun was like a book, the cover of this book was small and fresh, which was pleasing to the eye, but the pages were extremely thick, as if she would never finish reading the content of the book, and she might not even be able to understand it.

Fortunately...... He likes himself, can he ask for advice slowly in the future?

As soon as this thought came up, Cheng Xueqing inexplicably felt a sense of superiority.

A good-looking girl will not have too bad luck.

……

Gu Yun saw that Cheng Xueqing was stunned for a long time, and she didn't answer, wondering if she didn't understand what she meant?

In this case, it is worth checking whether she graduated from Harvard or not.

At this time, Cheng Xueqing finally spoke.

"Mr. Gu, I understand what you mean, and I completely agree with your idea. It's just that, in addition to the secret recipe, does Mr. Gu plan to invest another 150 million? ”

"Yes." Gu Yun nodded, "Invest 150 million in three years, not now." ”

"Where does the money come from?"

"Of course it's the wool that comes out of the sheep."

Cheng Xueqing understood.

Backed by the ancient town, he can make this money in three years by selling ingredients.

But he couldn't help but ask, "But in my opinion, even if Mr. Gu doesn't pay the money, this transaction can pass the supervision." ”

In fact, she didn't need to remind Gu Yun of this, because Gu Yun wanted to invest another 150 million, which was a good thing for her, after all, if this money was invested, she could at least increase tens of millions of rights and interests as a shareholder.

But Cheng Xueqing found that compared to solving some of Gu Yun's questions, these tens of millions were simply worthless.

Mainly...... Grandpa said that you should observe the people around you carefully, and Gu Yun is now a person who is closer to him in a sense.

In addition, he likes himself and has obvious ambitions for himself, so it is reasonable to get to know him himself.

Did you know...... and do not suffer.

Cheng Xueqing thought so.

Gu Yun smiled, picked the most obvious reason, and said, "Of course, this 150 million is to completely eliminate lawsuits." Do business, make money with harmony. ”

Cheng Xueqing felt that this was reasonable, but she didn't pay attention to it.

It is reasonable to believe that with the commitment of 150 million, I believe that Changyin Capital knows that this lawsuit will definitely not be won, and it should not take that effort to find fault again.

But he doesn't care, now he is clearly diluting the shares of Changyin Capital, how can he make money in harmony?

When Gu Yun said this, he got up and went to make a barbecue.

Cheng Xueqing was idle, so she also got up and stood beside Gu Yun, watching him put the marinated meat skewers on the charcoal grill that had been burned red, and grilled them unhurriedly.

"Cooking a barbecue is actually more laborious than cooking, do you know why?" Gu Yun asked her.

Cheng Xueqing thought for a while and said, "Is it because there is no pot?" ”

"Sort it out." Gu Yun said while gently turning the meat skewers, "It's easy to get a fixed mode for cooking, such as simmering on low heat for five minutes, if it's an oven, it's more accurate, how many degrees and how many minutes, you can make no mistakes." ”

Putting a skewer of grilled yellowish meat skewers on the plate, Gu Yun said again, "But if you look at this row of meat skewers, the charcoal fire under each meat skewer is different, and the height of each grill is different, these random conditions show that barbecue is affected by many uncertain factors, so there is never a fixed pattern." ”

Cheng Xueqing thought for a moment, and then said, "I know, do you want to say that the same is true for shopping malls?" Do we need to coordinate various factors to develop a strategy? ”

Gu Yun smiled slightly, "No, I mean, my barbecue skills are very good, not everyone can have this level." ”

Cheng Xueqing glanced at Gu Yun speechlessly, this thing is really narcissistic!

"Just kidding." Gu Yun handed a grilled meat skewer to Cheng Xueqing, and then said, "I mean, the easiest way to do a good barbecue is not to pay attention to the charcoal fire and the height of the stove, but to keep an eye on the meat in your hand, as long as you know in your heart what color the meat becomes and what fragrance it presents is the best taste, then you will not make a mistake." ”

After putting two more skewers of raw meat on it, Gu Yun continued, "In the same way, if you want to be in charge of the group, you also have to keep an eye on the essence of this matter. ”

"Essence?" Cheng Xueqing held the meat skewers, struggling in her heart whether to eat it, after all, she hadn't eaten this kind of "junk food" for a long time, and it was night, and it was easy to get fat when eating meat.

"Yes, if you want to control the group, the essence is not whether you can save the ancient town, but whether your grandfather can control the group's board of directors and even the shareholders' meeting." Gu Yun said slowly, "If you behave well here, it will naturally be conducive to winning neutral shareholders to support you, but it is also difficult to guarantee that the gang of Changyin Capital will use other means to make them defect, just like they co-opted Binhai Venture Capital." Therefore, the essence of this matter is whether you and your grandfather can defeat Changyin Capital and make them no longer qualified to be your opponents. ”

Cheng Xueqing held the meat skewer and couldn't help nodding slowly.

It seems like...... That is true.

If Changyin Capital does not fall, even if it saves Guzhen, the board of directors will fulfill the contract and let himself enter the group as an executive, which is likely to be just an "executive" with no real power, which is useless for taking charge of the group.

In fact, Cheng Xueqing knew about the battle between the Cheng family and Changyin Capital, but Gu Yun made her understand that the battle between the two families does not exist if anyone abandons the son and admits defeat, but one of them must fall, otherwise this war will not stop no matter whether she saves the ancient town or not.

That's why he reminded himself as soon as possible that he would immediately dilute Changyin's shares here and prevent them from enjoying the dividends of the development of the ancient town.

This guy ...... Is it really a high school student? Why do you think he is not much worse than his grandfather?

After collecting her thoughts, Cheng Xueqing said, "I understand, I will convene a board meeting as soon as possible and immediately dilute their shares." ”

Gu Yun felt that Cheng Xueqing was still very smart, and she could understand everything, but she just lacked a little experience.

In the final analysis, the Cheng family does have business genes - maybe Cheng Dalei's birth was an accident.

Gu Yun believed what he said, Cheng Yu must know, and he will definitely tell Cheng Xueqing in the future, but as a grandfather, he may not want his granddaughter to have too much pressure, so he didn't say it for the time being.

But Gu Yun must say that only by letting Cheng Xueqing thoroughly recognize the situation and abandon some unnecessary illusions can she cooperate with herself more firmly.

After baking a dozen skewers, Gu Yun put them all on a plate and brought them to the stone table.

The two sat down again.

On the topic just now, Gu Yun said, "I think you should send a notice of the board of directors tomorrow and the board of directors in three days, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Cheng Xueqing bowed slightly, but then, she said, "Mr. Gu, I found a problem. ”

"Please."

"According to your plan, I made a rough calculation, and after the board of directors is over, you may have close to 50% of Guzhen shares in your hands."

Looking at Gu Yun, Cheng Xueqing's gaze was slightly cold, "At that time, not only Changyin Capital will become a minority shareholder, but even I will be a minority shareholder." Mr. Gu, can I think that you are seeking to control the entire ancient town by saying so much and doing so much? ”
