Chapter 216: An Agreement is reached
Li Chuan said that he would rather give up, just to express his attitude, not really want to give up.
Just now through Sun Shuo's introduction, he has realized that "Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory" is a good investment target, and now is the best time to acquire...... Since he has encountered it, there is no reason to give up easily.
If he can't get along with Sun Shuo, he will go to Zhao Huaijiang and Zhao Sizhe father and son by himself, that is, return to his original idea - a wholly-owned acquisition.
"Mr. Sen, I hope you can think about it, you have an industry as big as Miki Media, and there is no need to control a small factory...... You take 49%, Miki Media and Guanfeng is a strategic partnership, what you have in the future, we will do it, absolutely not discounted. β
"These things are useless just by saying it."
Li Chuan still shook his head and said, "I have to get the controlling stake, this is my bottom line." β
"Mr. Mori......"
"Don't talk about it."
Li Chuan interrupted Sun Shuo's words, glanced at the other party again, and said in a surging voice: "Mr. Sun, let me tell you the truth...... Before I came, I never thought about working with others, I was not short of money or resources, so there was no need to do this...... The reason why I changed my mind is because I found that you are a talented person and you are very sincere, otherwise I would not have been able to give up my shares, not even 1% ......"
"Mr. Sen, I'm ......"
"Listen to me!"
Li Chuan interrupted again: "Mr. Sun, I am willing to cooperate with you and let you serve as the general manager of Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory, but there is a premise for this, that is, the control must be in my hands, if you don't agree, then there is no way, we can't cooperate." β
Sun Shuo opened his mouth and was speechless.
"It's okay, Mr. Sun."
Li Chuan adjusted his sitting posture and said with a relaxed smile: "Even if we can't cooperate, we can still be friends...... Of course, we have to be competitors for a while before we can be friends.
There is only one Guanfeng luggage products factory, you want it, I want it, we can only compete with each other...... Regardless of the final outcome, we can still be friends, you say? β
Li Chuan's words, although they were said easily, were particularly lethal, not only completely blocking Sun Shuo's mouth, but also clearly expressing the consequences of this matter.
What are the consequences?
The consequence is that he will become a competitor to Sun Shuo.
In fact, the word "competitor" is a bit of a promotion of Sun Shuo.
Sun Shuo didn't have much money in his hands, he wanted to buy Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory, and he had to borrow money, loans or financing, he tossed desperately for nearly a month, before he made up more than two million, and if he wanted to make up all the money, he had to wait for at least another month...... By that time, Li Chuan had already taken down Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory.
Li Chuan is not a fool, he will not wait for Sun Shuo to make up enough money before acting, what he wants is to cut through the mess quickly, and take advantage of the New Year to finalize this matter quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
From this point of view, Sun Shuo is not qualified to be Li Chuan's "competitor" at all.
Sun Shuo is not stupid, he also understands his own situation, so after listening to Li Chuan's words, his whole person wilted.
At this moment, he regretted it very much.
What do you regret?
I regret that I told Li Chuan so many details of Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory before.
In Sun Shuo's opinion, it was because he introduced Li Chuan in too much detail that it led to such a result.
If he didn't introduce it in such detail, Li Chuan would not have been able to understand the specific situation of Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory in a short time;
Li Chuan did not understand the specific situation, so he would not immediately make up his mind to acquire Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory...... In this way, he had a buffer time.
When Li Chuan found out the specific situation of Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory, he estimated that he had almost gathered the money...... When the time comes, he will be able to compete head-on with Li Chuan.
Although the odds of winning are still not high, as for being passive like now...... Now he has no power to fight back in the face of Li Chuan.
Before, he didn't think about it so much, he just felt that Li Chuan wanted money and resources, and he was a very high-quality and rare partner.
He was eager to pull the other party into the car, so he showed the greatest sincerity and told everything about Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory, however, he didn't know that Li Chuan's ambition was so big, he must hold control in his hands, and it is not negotiable.
Isn't this a naked lure of wolves into the house!
At this moment, Sun Shuo felt that he was too stupid.
Although he is over thirty years old, some of his behaviors are still too young and naΓ―ve, and Li Chuan's appearance can be regarded as a good lesson for him.
However, he did not let this degrade to the end.
He has come through so many difficult experiences, and such a little setback can't defeat him.
He settled his mind and began to think of a remedy.
At the moment, Li Chuan's attitude is very clear, that is, he wants to get control, and there is no room for negotiation.
In this way, there are only two paths in front of him...... or work against Li Chuan and find a way to raise funds quickly; Either accept Li Chuan's offer and give up control of the company.
The first way, the success rate is extremely low.
He had already tried before, and it was not so easy to raise funds, especially in a short period of time...... In the end, even if you succeed, you may face many unknown risks.
Sun Shuo is a sane person, and it is impossible for him to make such a low-probability, high-risk choice.
In this way, there is only a second way left.
The second way is not his original intention.
He planned to buy Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory, just to be the master of his own house, if after a toss, there is another person on top of his head, it will go against his original intention...... This is something he very much does not want to see.
However, he no longer wanted to see it, and there was no other way to go, unless...... He gave up the acquisition of Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory.
It was absolutely impossible to give up, he had already made up his mind and started to act, and if he gave up, it would be a major blow in his life, and he would not be able to slow down for several years.
As the saying goes, "there is no turning back when the bow is opened", now he can only go on hard.
Sun Shuo thought about it again and again, and finally came to a conclusion: accepting Li Chuan's proposal and relinquishing control of the company was his best choice at present.
In this regard, he has been mentally building for a long time, and finally accepted this reality.
However, he is not entirely receptive.
From his personal point of view, he could cede control of the company to Li Chuan, but he could not let Li Chuan enjoy absolute control, because that would make him a complete vassal without any autonomy.
Therefore, he had to bargain with Li Chuan again.
"Mr. Sen, I can give you control, but 67% not."
When Li Chuan heard this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he said, "Then what do you mean......?" β
"You own 51%, I own 34%, and the remaining 15% is distributed to other investors."
Li Chuan raised his eyebrows.
Sun Shuo's intention is obvious, that is, he wants to retain the "one-vote veto".
As mentioned before, according to the provisions of the Company Law, if you hold 51% of the shares in a limited liability company, you can get a controlling stake, but you can't say everything, and if a shareholder holds more than one-third of the shares (34% is the norm, but not all), you can get a "one-vote veto".
The meaning of the "one-vote veto" does not need to be explained too much, as can be seen from the name.
Shareholders with "one-vote veto" may not be able to decide the direction of the company's development, but if they want to make trouble, it is really easy...... as soon as the "one-vote veto" is sent, the board of directors cannot pass all the proposals, which can consume a company alive.
Of course, Li Chuan refused to accept this.
"No way!"
Li Chuan refused in a stern tone: "34% is impossible, you account for 33% at most...... Well, I'll take a step back, I'll take 66%, you'll be 33%, and the remaining 1%, find a middleman. β
"This ......"
Sun Shuo thought about it and felt that it was not unacceptable.
Li Chuan holds no more than two-thirds of the shares, so there is no way to get an absolute controlling stake...... In this way, he is not a complete vassal.
It's just that now there is still a problem.
Sun Shuo's face was entangled for a moment, and said, "I agree to your proposal in principle, but it's just ...... I have already got the money from the investors, Mr. Lin of Xiangli Leather Industry and Mr. Zheng of Huilong Paper Mill have each invested 800,000 yuan in me, and they ......"
"Wouldn't you just give the money back?" Li Chuan interrupted directly.
"I've told them about it, I'm ......"
"What's wrong?"
Li Chuan frowned, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "You just tell them that the situation has changed, and the money can't be invested, and the money will be returned, and at most they will be given some interest...... You've been working for so many years, do you still use me to teach you? β
"This ......"
Sun Shuo's face was entangled for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay." β
Seeing this, the corners of Li Chuan's mouth lifted a slight arc.
The proportion of shares is set, and the rest of the matter will be easy to talk about.
However, they did not start talking immediately, because it was already noon and it was time to eat.
Under the leadership of Sun Shuo, Li Chuan went to the factory canteen, sat with the workers, and had a not sumptuous lunch.
At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, they returned to the office building and the deputy general manager's office again and started follow-up negotiations.
They talked for more than two hours and finally came up with an agreement.
The main content of the agreement is to stipulate the division of shares of Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory:
Li Chuan (or Miki Media) holds 66% of the shares; Sun Shuo holds 33% of the shares; The remaining 1% is held by the company's future deputy general manager.
Regarding the ownership of the 1% equity, Li Chuan and Sun Shuo discussed for a long time.
Their initial idea was to find an unrelated intermediary from outside the company, but after ten minutes of discussion, they gave up.
There are two reasons for this:
First, it is difficult to find intermediaries with unrelated interests.
Since they are shareholders, they must find people they know, however, Li Chuan and Sun Shuo have just met, and they don't have friends who know each other at all...... Even if there were, they couldn't remember it for a while.
If you can't find someone you both know, you can only find someone you know...... In this way, the problem arises again.
Li Chuan knew Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian, and he wanted his father or mother to hold the 1% equity; Sun Shuo had a close relationship with Mr. Lin of Xiangli Leather and Mr. Zheng of Huilong Paper Mill, and he wanted one of the two to hold the 1% stake.
Whether it is Li Guangwu and Ma Xiaolian, or Mr. Lin and Mr. Zheng, they have nothing to do with the five words "interests are not related...... If this argument continues, there will be no result at all.
Second, people outside the company do not understand the situation inside the company and may make wrong judgments.
Li Chuan accounts for 66% of the shares, Sun Shuo accounts for 33% of the shares, and both of them are stuck at two-thirds or one-third of the key nodes, so the 1% equity is still very important...... When Li Chuan and Sun Shuo disagree, the 1% stake may affect the company's decision-making.
It is too risky to put such an important mission in the hands of someone who is not familiar with the company.
In this way, after Li Chuan and Sun Shuo discussed, they finally reached an agreement, that is, to promote from within the company.
People within the company have a better understanding of the situation within the company, and when they make decisions, they generally start from the perspective of the company's interests and will not be overly biased in favor of one person.
Since he is a shareholder, the position must not be lowered, so the future deputy general manager is the most suitable candidate.
Who the future deputy general manager will be has not yet been determined, but the basic goals are already there - Lin Shiye and Wang Wentao.
Lin Shiye and Wang Wentao are the only two workshop directors of Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory, if they do not leave in the future, the position of deputy general manager is likely to be produced from the two of them.
The one who hopes more is Lin Shiye, his qualifications are deeper than Wang Wentao, his work ability is stronger than Wang Wentao, and he is quite upright, attentive and diligent in his work, and does not have so many crooked thoughts.
Of course, this is what Sun Shuo told Li Chuan.
Li Chuan didn't know Lin Shiye, so he naturally didn't know his character and personality, so he could only listen to Sun Shuo.
Lin Shiye may not be such a person, but because he has a good relationship with Sun Shuo, he was deliberately beautified by Sun Shuo...... It's possible, but it's unlikely.
Because Li Chuan is not a fool, when he is promoted to deputy general manager, he will definitely conduct an investigation, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to hide what kind of person Lin Shiye is.
Therefore, there is no need for Sun Shuo to lie to him in this regard.
Moreover, Sun Shuo's personality and style of acting are not like such scheming people.
Except for the terms of the division of shares, the rest of the agreement is a few details that do not need to be introduced too much.
At around 3:20 p.m., the agreement was printed, and Li Chuan and Sun Shuo each signed their names.
It is an initialed agreement, but it also has the force of law.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, to buy Guanfeng luggage products factory.
Only if of course Li Chuan (or Miki Media) and Sun Shuo buy Guanfeng Luggage Products Factory, this agreement will take effect, otherwise it will be a piece of waste paper.
After the agreement was signed, the two finally let go of the mustard completely, and chatted in a relaxed atmosphere.
Business negotiation is like this, when the negotiation is tense, as if it will turn around at any moment, but when the negotiation is over, everything is harmonious.
