Chapter 365 [Anxious Mr. Zeng (Happy New Year)]
In the eyes of many investors, Qunxing Capital is simply giving money to a small book, a typical operation of "people are stupid and have a lot of money".
Moreover, now that the story of "hydrogen energy" is blowing very hot, after the news that Qunxing Capital is going to pay 200 billion to buy ATL comes out, many people feel that the takeover man is decided.
TDK Group spent $100 million to acquire 100% of ATL's shares five years ago, and five years later, it can sell for $3 billion, just in time to throw this burden to Qunxing Capital, and then transition to research in the field of hydrogen energy.
The current situation is blowing that "hydrogen energy" is the future, lithium energy has been eliminated, and this as a leader in this industry has given up and turned to the embrace of "hydrogen energy".
Qunxing Capital is actually a baby? If lithium battery really has a future? Why would I give up, the best player in this field? What is it that buying ATL at this time is not a pick-up man?
And it also cost 20 billion yuan to buy a bunch of assets that have no future and will inevitably depreciate, which is really stupid and has a lot of money.
When the news came out, many so-called experts or insiders wrote small essays on the Internet to "persuade" Qunxing Capital to stop it as soon as possible, and not to be a pick-up man.
Not long after the news came out that Qunxing Capital was going to spend a huge sum of 20 billion yuan to buy ATL, Mr. Zeng, one of the founders of ATL, who learned about it, was first shocked and then anxious.
This news made him feel that he had been stabbed in the back by Qunxing Capital, and he never expected that Qunxing Capital would go straight to the acquisition of ATL Company, and he frantically offered a sky-high price of 200 billion.
At this price, Zeng always wanted to sell, although he couldn't be the master.
And Mr. Zeng thought that if TDK Group really packaged and sold ATL to Qunxing Capital, what would he do? Wouldn't the power battery department be independent and set up the Ningde era?
In the future, Qunxing Capital will have the final say, so what is there to do with yourself?
Zeng was very angry when he saw the news, he called Hua Yu as soon as possible, and as soon as the phone was connected, there was a series of questions.
I really live in Bengbu.
“…… Don't be impatient, the news of the acquisition of ATL is indeed not out of nowhere, but this does not prevent us from cooperating. Hua Yu, who was sitting in the office, drank tea while making a discount call.
"I don't understand what you mean." On the other end of the phone, there was always a confused voice.
"Hehe......" Hua Yu smiled and said bluntly: "Let me tell you directly, even if we acquire ATL, we will still separate ATL's power battery division to establish Ningde Era, and it is still in accordance with the previously negotiated plan to advance, Ningde Times you have the final say, and the stars do not seek control." ”
"Ah, ......?" Zeng Zong was shocked when he heard the voice on the phone, and thought that he had heard it wrong, he was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Hua, you won't be joking, right?" ”
spent 200 billion yuan to buy ATL company, and was still willing to split the power battery department and hand over control?
Mr. Zeng couldn't fix it for a while.
Because after Qunxing Capital bought ATL, the nature of the company has been transformed, from a 100% pure foreign-controlled enterprise to a 100% pure domestic holding.
Then it will not be restricted by the relevant regulations, and it can be said that Qunxing Capital can do whatever it wants, even if Zeng, as one of the co-founders of the company, does not have the slightest chance of opposition.
Because he has long lost control of ATL and has long become a minority shareholder, even if he is kicked out of the company by Qunxing Capital, there is no way at all.
The founder of Hengtong Pharmaceutical Group, the predecessor of Ruihe Pharmaceutical Group, was kicked out, and under the operation of Qunxing Capital, he not only made him leave the house, but also stepped on the sewing machine, which can be called miserable and miserable.
Therefore, when Hua Yu said that the original plan would remain unchanged, Zeng was always really caught off guard, feeling that Qunxing Capital was teasing him, and his acting skills were not polished, which was too perfunctory.
Hua Yu responded with a smile and unhurriedly: "Qunxing Capital is an investment company, and it is not in line with our company's positioning to run a company in person, it is a cart before the horse, and Ningde Times is inseparable from a founder like Mr. Zeng." ”
Giving up control to the founder, Mr. Zeng can also let go of the mustard in his heart, and has no worries, not worrying that he will be kicked out by capital if he does the company that day, so he can put all his mind on making the company bigger and stronger.
Hua Yu added: "For CATL, Qunxing Capital only has one right, that is, the priority of financing. ”
This priority is to ensure that the equity held by Qunxing Capital in Ningde Times is not diluted, and if there is a shortage of money to finance, Qunxing Capital enjoys the right of priority, and if you want to invest, you will take Qunxing's money first, unless Qunxing Capital gives up exercising.
In this way, the interests of Qunxing Capital in Ningde Times can be well guaranteed, and even if it gives up its control over Ningde Times, it does not mean that Qunxing Capital has no right to speak at all.
There is also a means to allow Qunxing Capital to maintain its influence on Ningde Times, that is, to achieve its influence on the company through the upstream and downstream industrial chains of Ningde Times, so that its founders must consider Qunxing Capital when making decisions, otherwise the upstream and downstream industrial chains will be stuck, which is also very uncomfortable.
After a while, Hua Yu continued: "Similarly, as long as Qunxing Capital successfully acquires ATL this time, we plan to still hire you founders to continue to run the company. ”
It is the most reasonable choice to let the founder of the company continue to be in charge of the company, at least it is better than hiring external professional managers.

At this moment, Mr. Zeng finally determined that what Hua Yu said was not fooling him, Qunxing Capital really planned to do this, and once thought that Qunxing Capital had backstabbed him, but the result was unexpected, and it also made him unable to vent the anger he was originally holding back, and he lost his temper in an instant.
So, in a pleasant conversation, the telephone correspondence ended.
Now Mr. Zeng is more looking forward to the success of Qunxing Capital to win ATL, so that the initial stage of Ningde Times can also get the full support of ATL.
After ending the call with Hua Yu, Mr. Zeng immediately took action to send some assists to Qunxing Capital's acquisition of ATL.
……
Two days later, Tuesday, May 11.
At noon, Tian Jiayi came back from the company and brought back the latest news of ATL.
In the study on the second floor of the villa, Tian Jiayi handed the materials in his hand to Fang Hong and said: "The reply is here, TDK Group decided to agree to sell ATL to Qunxing Capital for 20 billion yuan, but it needs to be settled in cash. ”
The core layer of the TDK Group held several meetings and discussed it, and finally decided to sell!
Anyway, it is said that Ben is now turning to "hydrogen energy", and even if the offer given by Qunxing Capital is cut to 20 billion, it is still an extremely attractive price, and under normal circumstances, no one will be willing to pay so much money.
ATL's total assets are certainly not worth the price now, as for the future valuation potential, this is just an expectation, just a small book to play "hydrogen energy", obviously not optimistic about lithium battery, then ATL's future expectations must be discounted.
Now Qunxing Capital is willing to pay 20 billion yuan to buy this company, and it is a cash acquisition, and the kind of super fast return.
Instead of refusing to cause Qunxing Capital to spend more than 20 billion yuan in this industry to get involved with ATL, TDK still doesn't play with him after thinking about it, selling to Qunxing Capital is the best choice, take the money and make a lot of money to exit, no matter how you lose.
At least at this point in time, it is earned by blood.
