Chapter 229: A small test, the acquisition of Dawn Company at an ultra-low price
Speaking of which, the name "Dawn" is not unfamiliar to Luo Yin.
Not long after he came to Qiongbi City, when he went to the car dealership to buy a car, he took a fancy to a low-key and luxurious Dawn carriage.
Although Luo Yin was satisfied in all aspects, he didn't have a coachman, so it was impossible for him to drive the carriage by himself. In addition, I have limited funds and can't have them all, so I can only choose a steam car.
Later, there were more and more steam cars, and Luo Yin was used to it, so he didn't pay much attention to the carriage.
Now that I saw Lucia mention it again, I suddenly felt a little nostalgic, after all, this was a year ago.
Misha had apparently thought of this as well, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"The information is very complete, and it is very well organized, so it is hard work. I think this Dawn company is good, you can get in touch with it. I'll give you a week, and if you can't buy it within a week, maybe you can look at other companies."
Lucia looked overjoyed, and Luo Yin really agreed with her idea.
"No problem, I'll go!"
With that, Lucia was leaving.
But he was stopped by Luo Yin.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry, at least finish your breakfast first, right?"
Luo Yin was a little helpless.
I didn't expect this Lucia to be a workaholic, but that would explain why she's so good at business. People who work hard are generally not too bad.
"Good!"
Lucia eats quickly, but not embarrassed, unlike the slow chewing and slow swallowing of Misha's cat mothers, she seems very angry when she eats.
And her amount of food is larger than Luo Yin imagined, much more than Misha and them, probably at the level of Hetty.
"Partition~"
Eat and drink to your heart's content, and burp.
Lucia thanked Luo Yin again.
"I've never eaten such delicious food! Thank you boss for your hospitality!"
"Hehe, just eat your fill. You are welcome to come back often in the future."
Luo Yin said with a smile.
Before Lucia left, the three little ones also stuffed her with a few pieces of dry food very intimately, which almost moved Lucia to tears.
She said that she would definitely come back to eat next time.
……
Dawn Company.
In the conference room, everyone was a little sad.
"Last month, our company's net profit was only 400,000! There were 600,000 last month! At this rate, wait another two months, and our company is afraid that it will go bankrupt! Don't you have anything to say?"
On the main seat, a beautiful human woman snapped.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak.
"Speak!"
The beautiful woman Jessica slapped the table impatiently.
At this time, someone below raised his hand.
"I—I have some ideas......
Everyone looked at it in confusion, who dared to speak at this time? When I looked at it, oh, it turned out to be a newcomer who had only been in the company for a short time. That's fine.
Many people showed a look of watching the show.
"You say!"
Seeing that someone picked her up, Jessica's face was a little better.
"Chairman, I think we've failed too much! It's better to stick to the carriage. When I used to ride in a carriage, I could still make a million profits every month. Since the beginning of the transformation, a lot of money, manpower and time have been invested, but the profit has not increased, but the ...... has decreased."
With this person's words, Jessica's complexion, which was about to return to normal, became more and more ugly.
Because this transformation was made possible by her efforts!
Doesn't this person mean that the reason why the company is getting worse and worse is because of her, the chairman?
「…… So I think that if we want to increase profits, we have to cut the business related to steam cars, and although we may lose some money, the profits will definitely go up! Because the steam car business is holding our company back!"
The employee
At the end, the tone was a little relieved.
"You're very good, sit down."
Jessica's face turned cold again, making it impossible for everyone to guess what she was thinking.
The new employee thought that he had been appreciated by the chairman, and he was suddenly a little excited.
And some of the old people in the company shook their heads speechlessly.
It is estimated that tomorrow we will be able to see this newcomer take the initiative to submit a letter of resignation.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Jessica continued.
Maybe it was the atmosphere driven by this newcomer, or maybe the chairman was not angry when he saw the newcomer's speech.
So slowly some people also spoke, not only newcomers, but also some old people. But what they said meant the same thing - cut the steam car business.
Jessica was indeed angry before, but after seeing so many people wanting to cut the steam car business, she suddenly stopped being angry, but felt a little sad.
Steam cars are the future, and completely giving up the steam car business is equivalent to giving up the future, which is a slow death!
Can't these people see it? No, they may be able to see it, but they don't want to fight, they just want to hold on to what they're getting now!
Even if they are destined to perish, they must make enough money before they die. As for this thankless steam car now, there is no need at all, after all, it is not a profitable business, what is he doing.
The future of the company, how can their immediate interests be important?
Jessica is very sad that no one in a huge company dares to gamble on the future with her.
"Alright, that's it for today, adjourn."
A somewhat distracted Jessica waved her hand.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they felt a lot of pressure in the face of this chairman.
Jessica returned to her office and looked out the window at the view, her face full of helplessness.
Is Dawn really going to die?
It wasn't what she wanted to see, but it wasn't something she could stop.
By the time the steam cars invaded the kingdom, many pony car companies had already gone out of business, and their Dawn Company had only persisted until now because of the size of the company.
But that's about it.
"It's a pity that the ...... of the transformation should have been decided sooner."
Jessica regretted a little that when the steam car first appeared, there was a great opportunity at that time, but she didn't take it. It's a little too late to seize the opportunity now.
Dong Dong Dong Dong –
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Jessica straightened her look, sat back in her seat, and then said:
"Enter."
The secretary opened the door, nodded awkwardly at Jessica, and was followed by several people behind the secretary.
"They have to come......"
The secretary whispered.
"Alright, you go down."
Jessica waved her hand.
The secretary was like an amnesty, and after inviting people into the office, the secretary closed the door and respectfully withdrew.
Jessica looked at these major shareholders of the company, and her face remained unchanged:
"Is there anything you haven't clarified at the meeting just now?"
Several shareholders were a little embarrassed, and after waiting for a while, one of them spoke:
"Chairman, we all know what's going on, and I'm not inking anymore. In the face of Huangchi's acquisition, let's stop resisting and just agree!"
As soon as he spoke, the rest of the people also persuaded him:
"yes, Chairman, it's not interesting for us to be at such a stalemate. Our net profit has fallen to 400,000 a month now, and it is estimated that it will be over in two months! At that time, even if we wanted to sell the company, we couldn't sell it at this price!"
"That's right, while we're still valuable, and while people haven't changed their minds, let's sell it quickly. Otherwise, if people don't buy it, even if our company wants to sell it, it is estimated that no one will buy it......
Listening to the speeches of these people, Jessica suddenly spoke:
"How much did you charge them?"
Everyone was suddenly embarrassed.
"Ahem...... Don't get me wrong, Chairman! How could we—"
Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jessica.
"Alright, don't talk this nonsense. We all know the specific situation, you just said how much money you took, and I can't get you to hand over the money, but I can see their strength and sincerity from this aspect."
Hearing what the chairman said, they glanced at each other, and someone simply said:
"Then I won't hide it from the chairman, the other party gave me 50,000 yuan - but this is not the reason for the money, the situation of our company is really bad, there is no future......
Others chimed in, each taking 50,000 yuan.
"Okay, I see, you guys go out first, I'll think about it later."
Jessica rubbed her temples.
"I hope the chairman will think about it......"
Several major shareholders sighed and left, they felt that they were also helpless, the company was already like this, and it would be good to sell it for money. If the company is doing well, how can they agree to sell the company!
When there was no one in the office, Jessica pulled out a file from a drawer.
This is a document of intent to acquire and is valid until the end of the month.
It reads that Huangchi Company wholly acquired Dawn Company for four million.
Huangchi Company is the second largest company in the field of steam vehicles, with a valuation of more than 8 million yuan and shareholders with a very good background.
If Jessica signs her name with the major shareholders, then Dawn will no longer belong to her.
Dawn has a total of more than a dozen shareholders, and she has the largest shares, accounting for 34 percent.
In other words, she has the right to veto major matters of the company. For example, acquisitions. If she doesn't agree, the company can't be acquired.
Therefore, even if the other shareholders are very willing to be acquired, as long as Jessica does not let go, they have no choice but to persuade her.
Jessica looked at the numbers on it, and she was very unwilling.
Even if it is acquired, this price is too bullying!
It's only four million, and you want to buy their nearly 100-year-old Dawn company? Dawn was worth four million years ago!
But when she thought of the current situation of the company, Jessica could only sigh helplessly.
Last month, the company's net profit was 800,000.
Last month, the net profit was 600,000.
Last month's net profit was 400,000.
This month is almost the end of the month, and judging from the current situation, there will be a net profit of more than 200,000 yuan this month......
It's not that the company's situation is not good, it's a blood collapse!
It's not just the company's business situation, Jessica suspects that someone is sniping at them, after all, they can't sell the steam car in the first place, but now they can't even sell the carriage.
Although everyone knows that the future is a steam car, the horse-drawn carriage is much cheaper than the steam car, and it is impossible to withdraw from the market so quickly - it is obvious that someone is in the way.
As for who...... See who is good for you.
Huang Chi!
Jessica was upset, she hated this little trick, but she couldn't help it.
She looked at the date, and there were few days left before the deadline at the end of the month.
"If you can't do it, just sell my shares......
Jessica sighed.
According to the purchase price of 4 million, the shares in her hand should be worth 1.36 million, so she will sell them for 1.5 million.
If someone was willing to take over, she sold the shares at that price. If no one takes over, then she can only sell to Huang Chi.
Although she is reluctant, she is also a businessman. She knew there was no point in resisting.
The next day, the other shareholders in Dawn were ready to come and persuade Jessica again, and they
Suddenly surprised to find that Jessica actually wants to sell shares!
Thirty-four percent of the shares, the price is 1.5 million!
This is definitely a premium for the current Dawn company. Even if it is only 140,000 yuan more, it is a premium.
Everyone can probably understand Jessica, and she also knows that the company has no choice, and she will smash her hands if she doesn't make a move.
But she didn't want to sell to Huangchi, so she simply put her shares on the market and sold them, if someone bought them, it would be the best. She didn't have to see the stinky faces of the people of Huangchi Company. Even if it was bought by Huangchi Company, it didn't matter, anyway, she added money.
If no one buys it, then sell it to Huangchi again, it's just a big deal to get some ridicule.
The shareholders understand Jessica a little, but no one wants to buy the shares. After all, at the price of 4 million, this is an extra 140,000 yuan.
They don't buy it, and neither do others.
No one is a fool, everyone sees the current situation of Dawn Company, and it will definitely lose money if you buy it.
As for Huangchi, the company naturally won't buy it, since Jessica has relented, then they are not in a hurry, there is no need to spend more 140,000 yuan.
So everyone thinks that Jessica's shares will be silently withdrawn after a few days of being listed in the market.
What people didn't expect was that not long after Jessica's shares were listed on the market, they were bought!
The price of 1.5 million was actually sold!
Even Jessica herself was very surprised, could it be that Huangchi Company was really willing to pay more than 100,000 yuan in order to save time?
But she soon discovered that this was not the case, and that the person who bought her shares was a name she had never heard before.
"Harold, who is this?"
Jessica has a question mark on her head.
However, doubts are doubts, the shares have been sold, or sold to non-Huangchi companies, and she is in a much better mood now.
Whether this Harold ends up leaving the shares or selling them to Huangchi, it has nothing to do with her.
She met Harold, a man of unassuming appearance, who spoke very coldly. After the two signed the contract, the other party directly convened the board of directors.
Although Jessica is no longer a major shareholder, she is still the chairman, after all, she has not resigned, so the board of directors can still participate.
When she came to the boardroom, she was a little confused.
Because of this Harold announced that he would not agree to sell the company to anyone, and that he was going to revive the glory of Dawn!
Not only did he not sell the company, but he also wanted to increase the company's support for steam cars and invest a lot of money! He even said that he would cut the carriage business and go all out to engage in steam cars!
Unsurprisingly, these proposals were all rejected by the shareholders, and Harold is going to die!
If these proposals are approved, the next month's profit will definitely be negative!
Harold looked unhappy in the face of the opposition from all the staff. Then he said that as long as he was in the day, the company would never be acquired! And sooner or later these proposals will have to be implemented!
Everyone is stupid, why did Jessica go, but it was even more exaggerated?
Jessica was also stupid. She thinks she's brainless enough, but this one isn't brainless anymore, it's completely extreme!
The first meeting of the new shareholders was dissolved so unhappily.
As for Jessica's resignation as chairman, no one mentioned it. Since others don't say it, then she is not in a hurry, she is a little curious about the subsequent development.
The other shareholders were in a state of frustration after being stunned.
Their company is going to be sold to Huangchi!
Harold is so whole, how can he sell it?
Sure enough, the next day, someone from Huangchi Company came, and after knowing this situation, the personnel of Huangchi Company were furious. After a few curses, he left angrily.
Then, the people of Huangchi Company went to contact Harold and found that Harold was as extreme as everyone said, and he didn't let the company be acquired!
Even if the people of Huangchi Company are tempted by interests, it is not good.
Huangchi Company is out of options, they never thought of it, they wanted to spend less money and wait, but they ended up waiting for such a brain-dead.
Huangchi Company was very angry, and they directly and publicly announced that they were considering abandoning the acquisition of Dawn Company, and would compete with Dawn Company in some aspects.
At this moment, the shareholders of Dawn Company panicked.
Huangchi Company not only stopped the acquisition, but also officially announced the suppression of Dawn Company!
If it is acquired, their shares are worth a little money. If it is not acquired and the company is still suppressed, then this is a piece of waste paper!
At this time, Harold was nowhere to be seen, and the shareholders did not even have a chance to persuade him.
Huangchi Company is now completely hostile to Dawn Company, their methods are very tough, and there have been many unsubscribed orders sent to the company, which is undoubtedly to add insult to the already bad business.
After so many unsubscription orders, it is estimated that even the net profit of 200,000 yuan this month will not reach ......
Another day later, Harold made a public appearance, and he said that Dawn would not give in! Dawn company will fight to the end!
The shareholders of Dawn are numb.
When they arrived, Harold was in a state of flux again.
They suspect that this Harold is not here to do business, but to bring the Dawn Company out of business!
In this situation of internal and external troubles, the evaluation of Dawn Company by various institutions has fallen to the lowest level. This means that the investment will be lost.
This makes it even more difficult for the shareholders of Xi Company to sell their shares.
Shareholders began to sell their shares at a reduced price, but the shares of Dawn Company were not easy to sell, and now they can't sell them at a reduced price.
Huangchi Company had also acquired some shares of Dawn before, and they also sold them at a low price. When Huangchi began to poach people from Dawn, Dawn was completely finished—this was the thought of all those who saw this.
Harold also seemed to be a little panicked, and he said that he told the executives not to worry, let the shareholders keep the shares, and the company will definitely rise.
Executives and shareholders don't believe it, and the sell-off sells, the sell-offs, the departures. Some unlucky people think they can pick up a bargain and buy a stake in Dawn, and then they find that they lose so much that they don't even know their mother.
Some people even started looking for Harold and asked him if he would buy it back, because no one would buy it at a low price in the market!
Harold seemed to really want the rise of Dawn, and he said with some embarrassment that he had only 500,000 left in his hands and could not afford to buy so many shares.
And the shareholders are hurrying away, 500,000 is enough, don't believe you try?
Harold really gave it a try, and he bought back the other 65 percent of the company's shares.
So far, he owns 99% of the shares of the entire Dawn company. As for why one percent is missing, it's because that one percent was bought by Jessica.
Jessica thought at the time that the company was going to go out of business anyway, and now that the shares were so cheap, she would buy one percent as a souvenir.
But when Harold said she wanted to buy back her one percent of the shares, Jessica suddenly realized something was wrong.
Wait a minute?
Harold already holds 99 percent of the shares?
He's going to buy back one percent of my shares? Why? Not to mention that he is not willing to buy back, does he have no money? The company is going to go bankrupt, what's the point of him buying back the one percent?
Jessica came to Harold's office, and she wanted to ask for clarification.
Then Jessica was surprised to find that in Harold's place, there was a young beautiful wolf-eared girl, and Harold was standing respectfully beside her.
"Eldest sister, there is only one percent of the shares left in her hand, and she is unwilling to sell."
Harold spoke respectfully.
"You, who the hell are you?"
Jessica felt a little chill all over her body, they were calculated!
I don't know why, but it's definitely calculated!
Lucia looked at the woman in front of her, and said with a penetrating gaze:
"Do you sell the one percent of the shares?"
"I—I'm not selling!"
Jessica snapped, he didn't believe that this mysterious woman would dare to do anything with her here.
Lucia frowned, thought for a moment, and said:
"Fifty thousand."
"Not for sale!"
"One hundred thousand."
"Not for sale!"
"Forget it."
Lucia suddenly got up, startling Jessica.
Walking up to Jessica, Lucia suddenly smiled at her.
"You're the chairman of the original Dawn, right?"
「…… And now too."
Jessica said weakly.
"Very well, then you can wait for news. If you have time, please clean up the company."
"W-What's the news?"
Jessica was a little confused, but she didn't ask. Lucia left with Harold directly.
"So, gone?"
Jessica was confused.
Then looking at the company like a mess, she was a little speechless.
How did she clean it up!
The next day, however, she received shocking news.
Harold sold 99 percent of his shares!
Sold to the tulip sugar industry!
