Chapter 141: Shi Dong's bargaining chips

Of course, Mu Xianmin would not refuse the invitation to go to Shidong's house with Lin Wei for dinner.

Hengzhu came out in the general election, and the two had nothing else to do except wait, so they simply went to several fashion stores she frequented together in the afternoon to buy some winter clothes.

Let the driver take Cui Minshu to drive home to put things, and Mu Xianmin drove to Shidong with Lin Wei to become a monk, Mu Xianmin, who visited for the first time, knew that Shi Dongchu smoked cigars on weekdays, and took Lin Wei to find a friend to get two boxes of imported goods, and gave his wife a limited collector's edition of the precious bag.

When I arrived at the door of Shidong's house, there was no more time, no less, five fifty-five o'clock.

I made an appointment at six o'clock in the afternoon, arrived five minutes early, but I was not in a hurry to get in, but chatted in the car for a while, and waited until fifty-nine o'clock to ring the doorbell.

It was Shi Dongchu's wife who opened the door to greet her, and when she saw Lin Wei and Mu Xianmin, when she heard the two bow and say hello, she immediately smiled and praised.

"Don't be so polite, fast forward, hey, no wonder people call you two 'face praise couple', you two look really talented and beautiful."

"Auntie is so polite." Lin Wei and Mu Xianmin were modest, and entered the house with a smile, Shi Dongchu was in the living room, and when he saw the two, he got up to greet each other with a smile.

"Lin Wei, it's okay with your body, right?" He first looked at Lin Wei affectionately and with concern.

Lin Wei laughed: "Thank you uncle for your concern, I'm much better, and in another month, it's almost fine." ”

"Chairman Stone Nim." Mu Xianmin smiled and bowed slightly, as Lin Wei's fiancΓ©e, since Shi Dongchu called him uncle, she would naturally look at herself as a junior.

Shi Dongchu naturally looked like an elder, welcomed the two with a smile, and when they were seated, they chatted a few more words, and the doorbell rang on time at the door.

Li Zhongjiu showed his head from the door carrying something, with a gentle smile on his face, and when he saw Lin Wei, he just greeted him with a calm smile: "Long time no see, President Lin." ”

"It really feels like it's been a long time, President Lee."

Lin Wei smiled and got up, and the two reached out in front of Shi Dongzhu and shook it gently, and then separated.

Shi Dongchu smiled, and then the dinner began.

Just like an ordinary family gathering, Shi Dongchu was concerned about a few juniors like an elder, and several juniors chatted about work and life, and when dinner was over, the time was about eight o'clock, Shi Dongchu's wife pulled Mu Xianmin to chat, and Shi Dongchu and Li Zhongjiu Lin Wei went to his study.

Entering the study, Shi Dongchu took out the cigar given by Mu Xianmin and handed it to a few people, Lin Wei hesitated, but still waved his hand to refuse.

"Quit it."

"Oh, yes, I forgot that you're still recuperating from your injuries, and it's good to quit by the way."

Shi Dong smiled, looked at Lin Wei, and then at Li Zhongjiu, and then said slowly: "When do you plan to go back to the company and start working?" Recently, everything in the company is being done for you. ”

"Tomorrow, although the injury is not healed yet, it is almost time to go to work."

Lin Wei said, Shi Dongchu shook his head with a smile: "It's not that I'm urging, everything is fine in the company now, just do things step by step, I'm afraid you won't have much time this month, right?" ”

"That's true, but I'm still quite interested in the work of Gammon, whether it's logistics or Gammon Entertainment, there are a lot of things that can be done."

Lin Wei said with a smile: "Being idle all day is really like a door-to-door son-in-law." ”

"Hahaha, if every son-in-law is like you, I'm afraid that those who give birth to daughters will be happy."

Shi Dongchu laughed and joked, turned his head to look at Li Zhongjiu, and said, "How is the situation of Kinmen Entertainment recently?" ”

"Everything works." Li Zhongjiu seemed a little taciturn, and when there were only three people alone, he just lit a cigar by himself, sat on the sofa, and poured a glass of whiskey with an indifferent expression.

Lin Wei glanced at him, but didn't say much, and even now, he was not eager to solve Li Zhongjiu and get Golden Gate Entertainment.

At this point in his life, the entertainment industry has given him very little help, although he has a professional counterpart, he has Mu Xianmin's relationship in the TV station, and it is easiest to develop a similar business, but in contrast, Lin Wei still values Gammon Logistics and his own NW.

On the one hand, Gammon logistics can be the basis for the online shopping platform he is preparing and hooking up, and it is also a necessary downstream industry for Kinmen to build this core industry of Kinmen, as long as the real estate project is still under construction, there is no worry about the logistics company has no business to do.

Although it is a pity that the development of Gammon logistics has stagnated for a period of time because of the disaster of prison, logistics is not an industry with a high threshold after all, the important thing is the relationship between capital and contacts, and the recruitment of new employees is relatively simple and does not require too much training.

Lin Wei plans to start increasing investment in logistics after the launch of NW's Bubble Hall next year, after the virtual community is further expanded, and the game industry and online shopping will be the key to NW's conversion of users.

With Cho Hae-woong and Choi Yi-hyun in Busan, as long as Congressman Lu wins the election as scheduled, Lin Wei can even make Gammon construction and logistics further expand to Busan in the next few years.

And with these relationships, Lin Wei believes that it is time for him to go further within Kinmen.

The shares and the status of the board of directors that he now holds seem to be a little too little for Lin Wei.

This is also the reason why Lin Wei came to Shi Dongchu - he thought, the other party could not have thought of this.

With Lin Wei's connections and personal ability, if Shi Dongchu didn't want to increase his stake in Kinmen, then there was really no need for him to stumble in Kinmen.

It's okay to start anew.

This is Lin Wei's biggest gain from this gamble - his successful leap has become another level of existence.

"What do you have to do tomorrow?"

Shi Dongchu thought about it, and suddenly asked Lin Wei.

"Then we'll have to see what happens to you, and if nothing else, I'm afraid there will be plenty of invitations tomorrow if everything goes as expected."

Lin Wei said calmly and smiled: "There is always no shortage of people to do the icing on the cake." ”

"That's just as well. However, since there are no major events, let's go on a vacation together tomorrow. ”

Shi Dongchu said the purpose at this time, and he said with a smile: "If Congressman Lu can win the election, in the next few years, it will still be our Kinmen."

You have worked so hard for so long, and the people in the company should also find a time to rest together, I rented a big yacht, and also rented a small island nearby, and we went out to sea for a day, fishing on the island, and basking in the sun.

The directors of the company will also come, and the people of the group will also appear in the future, and the shareholders' dividend meeting will be held soon, and the next stage of further financing of the group will also be considered."

And so it was.

Lin Wei smiled and said with a smile: "Of course it's no problem, I'm also very interested in the next development direction of the company, and I really should take a good rest with my brothers."

But does my uncle have any ideas about the direction of financing? ”

"I don't want the group to increase its stake further in the future."

Shi Dong said concisely, and at the same time took out a document from the study and showed Lin Wei the equity situation within the company.

Lin Wei looked at it, and ho.

The changes are not small.

The first is 'Gammon Investment', which is the symbol of the group's materialization.

Gammon Investment is the symbol of the actual holding of the group, with it as the main body, occupying 68% of the shares of Gammon Construction, 57% of Gammon Entertainment, 52% of Gammon Logistics, and 77% of Gammon Marine

All the funds flowed into the core industries through Gammon investment, which supported the entire group.

At the same time, 12 percent of the shares of Kinmen Construction are still in the hands of Shi Dong, 7 percent are still in the hands of Ding Qing, and 4 percent are in the hands of the original minority shareholders in Kinmen Construction.

Lin Wei vaguely remembers that when Kinmen was first established, the proportion of Kinmen Investment's shares in Kinmen Construction should have been just over 60%.

In just half a year, after a round of financing, Gammon Construction has become a private property that has been completely invested by Gammon, that is, controlled by Gammon, and the scattered minority shareholders are basically rewarded and compensated by a few private shareholders who played a role in the establishment of Gammon Construction.

The vacated stake comes from Mr. Zhang, whose private holdings are marked as 'blank' in the chart.

In addition to this, there is also a large change in the shareholding of other distributions throughout the company.

Lin Wei probably took a look at it, and what he is holding now, including further self-acquisitions and changes due to financing, is really nothing in the entire Golden Gate Group.

First of all, among the shares of Golden Gate Investment, Zhang Shouji and his subordinates are marked as blank at the moment 22.5%, Shi Dongchu's personal shareholding is now 21%, Ding Qing is 16%, Lin Wei is 3%, Li Zicheng is 3.7%, and Li Zhongjiu is 4.3%.

Shi Dongchu and Li Zhongjiu's total equity is 25.3%, and Ding Qing, Li Zicheng and Lin Wei's equity has now reached 22.7%.

The future group holds 22% of the shares.

This proportion is not low.

Now Zhang Shouji has been completely swept into the garbage heap, and his equity has become an ownerless thing, although it is an ownerless thing, but who will spend this part of the equity in the end depends on the coordination of all parties later.

Thirty percent of the shares remain in the hands of other shareholders, and the majority of these board members have a scattered, mostly single-digit share, and the vast majority have only the right to dividends, and only a few 12% of the shares have voting decision-making power.

Lin Wei quickly calculated.

And looked at the company's valuation, and finally asked directly: "I don't know what my uncle plans to do with the shares in Zhang Shouji's hands?" ”

"Of course, it's digested internally by our own people."

Shi Dongchu said calmly: "I have discussed with his wife that I will repurchase the shares at the internal price, and I have already stated when I signed the agreement that as the founder, if we want to sell the shares, we must give priority to the repurchase, and only if we don't want to sell them to the outside world."

She didn't have a choice. ”

The first is not important, and the next sentence indicates the final outcome of these shares.

Lin Wei snorted, but he didn't show much eagerness, just chuckled twice: "It's good, if we can digest these shares, even if we raise another round of financing from the Future Group, we don't have to worry about its voice in the collective." ”

"You don't have any idea about these shares?" Shi Dongchu looked at him with a smile.

"Yes, yes, but it doesn't make much sense if it's just a single digit."

Lin Wei calmly pointed to the part of the Golden Gate construction on the document.

"Rather than taking a stake in the Gammon Group, I personally prefer to further increase my stake in Gammon Construction, and at the same time I personally inject capital into it to further develop Gammon Construction's business."

The implication is that Lin Wei is not interested in being part of the board of directors of Gammon Group, but he hopes to increase his control over Gammon Construction.

Shi Dongchu knew the reason why he did this, this was Lin Wei's retreat, and he didn't want Kinmen Logistics to become Lin Wei's private property.

Lin Wei's personal stake in Gammon Logistics has now reached an astonishing 22%, thanks to the fact that after he entered Gammon Logistics, he began to acquire the shares of large and small shareholders, and even before Zhang Shouji's death, he had completed part of the acquisition of his shares.

If you include the shares held by Ding Qing and Li Zicheng, his total stake in Gammon Logistics has reached a terrifying 35%.

Aside from the 52% of the company's shares, only 8% of the remaining 8% is in the hands of Shi Dongchu and Li Zhongjiu.

The rest is the share vacated by Zhang Shouji, and obviously, this will be Lin Wei's next goal.

Once the acquisition is completed, Lin Wei will discuss with Ding Qing and Li Zicheng to acquire the shares of the two, and then carry out the self-financing of Gammon Logistics to dilute the group's equity, and Lin Wei will become an absolute controlling presence in Gammon Logistics.

But Shi Dongchu must not let him do this.

In other words, it may be possible, but Lin Wei cannot be marginalized in Kinmen Investment, that is, in the Kinmen Group.

If he does not increase his investment, with the dilution of equity caused by further financing, Lin Wei's investment proportion in the group will further decline, and he will completely become a mascot in the board of directors.

Of course, it is a good thing for Li Zhongjiu and other guys who point fingers at the group, but it is not the case for Shi Dongchu.

Doesn't this mean that he is drifting away from Lin Wei?

When Lin Wei is necessary, he can even take Kinmen Logistics to leave Kinmen Group directly and set up his own portal, which is by no means a good thing for today's Kinmen.

Especially in the next few years, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Wei is about to take off.

Only by tying him up in the clique can the clique further step on the east wind of Councillor Lu and take off.

It can also take advantage of the power of Seoul behind Lin Wei to further develop the business of the subsidiary, and even take this opportunity to participate in the next round of financing of Lin Wei NW, and include NW as part of Kinmen's business to further expand the power of Gammon Group.

Shi Dongchu looked at Lin Wei, who was calm and seemed to have no desire for Jinmen, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"How could your uncle do this to you?"

Shi Dong said with a smile: "As far as my current thoughts are concerned, I hope that Ding Qing and I will buy back some of it, and you will spend money to buy the rest." ”

"Huh?" Lin Wei pretended to be surprised: "Won't I become the third largest shareholder of the group?" ”

"Why?"

Shi Dongchu said with a smile: "In the next financing, you can also invest a sum, after further diluting the equity of small shareholders, I don't plan to let the Future Group invest too much, the ideal situation is to make the Future Group the fourth largest shareholder of the group, Director Ding Qing as the third largest shareholder, and you and Seoul jointly invest to become the second largest shareholder." ”

After Shi Dongchu finished speaking, he paused and said, "How is it?" Interested? ”

When he said this, Lin Wei turned his head and glanced at Li Zhongjiu.

The other party was still drinking wine and smoking a cigar with an indifferent expression, and when he saw Lin Wei looking at him, he just shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I listened to President Shi." ”

Lin Wei lowered his eyes, quickly calculated the account in his head, and then suddenly felt a little tricky.

This is a big deal of 100 billion yuan.

Where did he get all this money?

Then, Lin Wei realized Shi Dong's purpose.

"Of course, I also know that you don't have that much money now, so I hope to exchange the shares of Kinmen for the shares of NW Company in your hands in the form of equity exchange."

After Shi Dongchu finished speaking, he then gave an amazing chip: "In a ratio of one to two, exchange in equal proportions." ”

"Are you serious?" Lin Wei asked out in shock.

"Hmm." Shi Dong smiled: "Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be willing, right?" ”

I'll have to think about it." Lin Wei cautiously did not give an answer, and Shi Dongchu was not in a hurry, but smiled and groaned: "I have to discuss it with your fiancΓ©e, after all, if everything goes well, the next financing of the group is 350 billion, and you can't take it out alone." ”

Lin Wei snorted, but in fact, the balance in his heart had already tilted.

How did he refuse?

Judging from the company's market value alone, the current valuation of Kinmen Group will move towards the trillion-level threshold next year, and Lin Wei's company, from the current point of view, even if he blows the momentum to Mu Xianmin, it is at most less than a quarter of the size of Kinmen.

No matter how you look at this replacement, Lin Wei took a big advantage.

He just wanted to see Shi Dongchu's attitude, and he had to see what Ding Qing meant, and then add it up to himself, see the situation, and analyze the pros and cons.

If there is really too much resistance within Kinmen, considering the existing interpersonal relationships, rather than fighting to the death and becoming an enemy, Lin Wei even has a little idea of giving up Kinmen, and now he no longer needs Kinmen to provide him with too much help, only from the perspective of interests, Kinmen is a good choice, but not the only one.

Lin Wei can even set up an NW property by himself after eating Kinmen Logistics, find a way to use the influence of Councilor Lu to get a few new projects, and then pick a favorite financing object, and start a small Kinmen by himself.

But if you compare it with the real Golden Gate, then Lin Wei's idea of starting a new stove is naturally not worth mentioning.

If the shares can be successfully replaced, Lin Wei can further raise funds with Seoul to increase the equity ratio in the next financing and become the second largest shareholder in Kinmen. With his age and background, he can become a candidate for chairman in the open.

It's still the kind that doesn't need to look at people's faces.

Seeing Lin Wei's expression, Shi Dongchu knew that the chips he gave were really enough, although he would inevitably lose a lot, and it would be troublesome to convince the board of directors, but in the long run, in the next few years, Lin Wei's role in the board of directors and the help to the company group will inevitably be much greater than the current loss.

He trusts his own judgment.

Moreover, this can further divide the connection between Ding Qing and Lin Wei, with the Future Group as the background, Shi Dongchu is not worried that Lin Wei and Ding Qing being together will affect his current dominance.

"Then wait until tomorrow, when we rest together, let's have a good chat, if Miss Mu is free, she can also participate tomorrow."

Shi Dong said with a smile: "It's all a family, and the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders." ”

Lin Wei looked grateful: "Thank you, uncle, I will definitely consider it carefully." ”

"Hmm."

When Shi Dong saw that his goal had been achieved, he didn't say much, but just smiled and talked about other things.

He suddenly pulled out a tape recorder.

Lin Wei glanced at it and was a little puzzled.

But Shi Dongchu pushed the tape recorder in front of him on the table and smiled: "Why don't you open it and listen to it?" ”

Lin Wei picked up the tape recorder and pressed the play button.

The sound that followed the salsa sounded familiar to him.

"President Li, this kind of thing should be a win-win situation for you and me."

Han Qiang-sik!

Lin Wei's expression suddenly became serious, and he listened carefully, and only the sound of the tape recorder playing unhurriedly was left in the study.

"You framed Zhang Shouji for all the attacks on Lin Wei, even if you can hide this matter from Lin Wei, but Lin Wei will not necessarily let you go afterwards.

Even if there is no such thing as this time, if he escapes by chance, or if he is lucky, and completely gets on the ship of Councilor Lu and the Mu family, do you think you can still control him inside Kinmen?

Sooner or later, you will be swept away like Zhang Shouji, Lin Wei and you and President Shi are not in the same boat

As long as you. Could it be?"

The recording became a little blurry, caused by Han Qiang-sik lowering his voice, but the key words were still heard clearly.

"It's better to be my friend than my enemy, of course you can refuse, but I won't miss the dog-eat-dog show. You say, if I told Lin Wei that you were looking for someone to attack him in prison, what would be the consequences for you?

You and President Shi. Fear. All right? ”

Although some words and phrases are not heard clearly, there is no doubt that Han Qiangzhi meant that he hoped to get Li Zhongjiu to cooperate with him to do something through coercion and inducement.

And Li Zhongjiu said lightly: "I will think about Minister Han's proposal, please give me some time." ”

"Won't give you too long. Before the second trial, I hope to get new evidence of Lin Wei."

Han Qiangzhi's voice was cold, and he threatened: "Otherwise, the next one will be you." ”

The recording ended quickly.

And Shi Dongchu looked at Lin Wei with a serious expression, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to keep it to help you, but I didn't expect that you would solve Han Qiangzhi on your own." ”

Lin Wei looked at Li Zhongjiu, frowned slightly, and said, "The matter of the detention center"

"There are indeed our people, but our people will not kill you." Shi Dong laughed and said, "At that time, the one who shouted for revenge for Zhao Xian was Zhong Jiu's person. ”

Lin Wei suddenly realized.

No wonder! The other party will suddenly come to the door to report himself.

Lin Wei wondered who wanted to deduct the black pot from Zhang Shouji at that time, but he felt that this kind of framing was too direct - it turned out that it was done on purpose.

But even so, Lin Wei still frowned, looking a little heavy.

"I see"

He said meaningfully.

Li Zhongjiu said lightly: "This is what President Shi meant, first use me to attract Han Qiangzhi's attention, and take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Shouji logically, and then there is a good dog missing, the other party will inevitably take the initiative to contact me, and then get the evidence recording of the other party's contact with me."

"As for whether you'll die in the attack. Oh, I'm afraid that if it weren't for the fact that you wanted to take the opportunity to go to the hospital and double the number of people, I would have been able to kill you in the detention center. ”

After Li Zhongjiu finished speaking, he got up directly, glanced at Lin Wei, and then said with some interest: "That's probably the case, believe it or not, it's up to you President Shi, I'll go out first." ”

He didn't wait for Shi Dong to speak, and left the room directly.

Lin Wei and Shi Dongchu watched him leave together, and Shi Dongchu sighed after a long time.

"Don't blame him, you know he's a tough guy"

"I know." Lin Wei looked calm, and just sighed.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

After a while, Lin Wei smiled: "Then let's do it first, let me discuss the investment matter with Sister Xianmin, it's not too early, it's time to go home."

When are we going to leave tomorrow? ”

"At nine o'clock in the morning, we departed from the pier in Incheon."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Lin Wei smiled and got up to say goodbye to Shi Dongchu, Shi Dongchu sighed, held Lin Wei's hand with both hands, and shook it meaningfully: "Lin Wei, uncle really treats you as a family." ”

"I know it's just that the next time I do something like this, it would be nice to let me know in advance."

Lin Wei still looked a little lost, and Shi Dongchu was silent for a moment, looked at Lin Wei for a while, but said, "Don't you want to see what Zhong Jiu thinks?" ”

Lin Wei was stunned.

But Shi Dongchu continued lightly: "Did you meet a group of people before you were attacked? ”

"Yes."

Lin Wei nodded.

Indeed, several people were sent to the infirmary by his cellmates in the detention center at the time, and Lin Wei believes that this may have been deliberately sent to the confinement room by the other party who could beat his subordinates in prison in this way.

"That's my man."

Shi Dongchu chuckled, but was a little helpless: "I originally wanted to help you depending on the situation, but you started too fast, and he didn't have a chance to come to talk to you." ”

"In short, things have happened, and there is no point in saying anything more, you just have to be fine." Shi Dongchu didn't want to explain anything more.

Speaking of which, how much Lin Wei is willing to believe is his business.

Anyway, Shi Dongchu's attitude is in front of him, and the benefits and benefits of giving up are indeed there.

Lin Wei is not a child, so he will naturally make his own choice.

As for Li Zhongjiu. Lin Wei pondered for a moment, and then said, "Among the people who troubled me that day, how many were Zhang Shouji's?" ”

"The ones with the weapons are their men." Shi Dong gave the answer in a concise manner.

Lin Wei nodded, and then laughed: "Then it's nothing." ”

"If only you could understand."

Shi Dongchu looked relieved, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Don't be angry with Zhong Jiu, he just won't admit defeat, but sooner or later he will figure it out." ”

"I know." Lin Wei smiled.

Walking out of the study, Mu Xianmin stopped communicating with Mrs. Shi at the right time, got up, and looked at the time.

After a polite meal, Lin Wei and Mu Xianmin left Shi Dong's house with smiling faces, and got into the car, Mu Xianmin started the car and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How? What did you talk about? ”

She skillfully started the ignition, and the car drove on the road neither fast nor slow.

Lin Wei told her what Shi Dongchu said, and Mu Xianmin raised his eyebrows: "Eh? And this kind of good thing? ”

"What do you think?" Lin Wei asked.

"Don't you want the benefits of delivering it to your door, isn't that a fool? Since President Shi has taken the initiative to pave the way for you, what are you hesitating about - I'll go back and discuss the financing matter, and try to find a way to occupy a little more. ”

Mu Xianmin looked much happier than Lin Wei.

Lin Wei snorted and said, "Then are you going to go with me tomorrow?" ”

"It's too bad to go to sea in winter, I don't want to go. I'll have something to do tomorrow. ”

Mu Xianmin refused, and Lin Wei also nodded sympathetically: "However, probably to avoid the public's attention, I'm afraid that the thing to talk about is not just the company's equity." ”

"Anyway, it's good that you don't get involved in those bad things, and now you don't have to do those things, don't you have a lot of people under you?" Mu Xianmin admonished.

"I know."

After Lin Wei finished speaking, Mu Xianmin realized that he seemed to have other things on his mind.

Glancing at him, Mu Xianmin asked softly, "What, there are other questions?" ”

"Sort of, but it's not a big deal." Lin Wei smiled, and Mu Xianmin looked at him twice and stopped asking.

And Lin Wei looked out the window, full of thoughts.

Today is only more than 7,000 words, which is considered a day off for myself, and the biological clock is messy, and people are dizzy.
