Chapter 12 Ask Mr. Peng for help
Before the listing of Yewang Technology, Yan Ni's personal shares and I added up to about 25%, and Yewang Group accounted for 30%.
In 2012, the company's IPO raised 14 billion yuan, the old shares were diluted by 25%, our share ratio dropped to about 19%, and the group became 22.5%.
In the next few years, Yewang Technology has engaged in a total of three additional issuances, which have been diluted by about 30% in total, and the proportion of shares between me and Yan Ni has dropped to about 13%, and the group has 15.75%.
Since the end of 2014, in order to improve our lives (like the majority shareholders of most listed companies, hehe), and to prepare for the establishment of Kuang-Chi Company, Yan Ni and I have successively sold about 4% of our shares, so now there is less than 10% left.
Our personal shares, plus the group's shares, are only about 25%, less than one-third.
Among the shareholders of listed companies, about 45% of the shares of institutional shareholders and less than 30% of retail investors combined, including about 5% of the shares of the company's executives and core employees.
This shareholding structure is a bit delicate.
When institutional shareholders supported me, everything was fine.
If institutional shareholders don't support me......
So, Guo Furong is worried about me.
Could it be that she had already heard something?
I'll ask her more details when I have the chance.
But one thing is for sure, I have to strengthen my communication with those institutional shareholders.
It's time to touch their attitude: I've been out of the country for the past few months, do you have any ideas?
Is anyone already in action?
I don't know anything.
When I came back this time, these executives of the group seemed to be a little strange when they saw me......
It's a bit dangerous.
This means that I will have to stay in China in the near future.
It is not only necessary to remedy the relationship with institutional shareholders, but also to strengthen communication with the company's core personnel and grasp their ideological dynamics!
"On the U.S. side, what about Kuang-Chi Company?"
Even though I've only been away for two days, I'm still a little uneasy.
I looked at my watch, it was more than 2 p.m. BJ time, and it was midnight in California, maybe Ligang hadn't slept yet.
So I called him on WeChat.
"Hey, uncle!"
Ligang quickly answered my voice call.
"Ligang, haven't slept yet?"
"No, it's going to be a holiday soon, I'm helping Alexander sort out the training materials!"
Li Gang said: "Yesterday I discussed with Alexander, we are going to take a look at the position settings and work processes of the company's design and R&D department during the New Year's holiday, and prepare the job description and related training materials for each position, so that we can officially start job training after the holiday." ”
"Well, you're very thoughtful!" I said, "Ligang, it's the New Year soon, there are a lot of things on the group's side, and I have a lot of things to deal with, so I may have to stay a little longer." Can you handle it there? ”
"Oh, it's not a big problem for the time being, it's going to be a Christmas and New Year's holiday here," Li Gang said, "and the main work of Alexander and I in January next year is still recruitment and training, as well as doing some preliminary preparations for rocket design and development, R&D platform construction, and preliminary concept demonstration." It shouldn't be a big problem. ”
"Well, okay, I'll let Li Hua come over first after New Year's Day. You can help Alexander set up the design and development team as soon as possible," I said, "and I'll try to come back before the Chinese New Year." ”
"That's the best! I can also discuss with Mr. Li if there is something! Li Gang said happily.
At this time, I suddenly remembered the female doctor from Boston, and asked Ligang: "Ligang, have you always been in contact with Yang Jiao?" Where did she spend her New Year? ”
"Oh, I don't know? I didn't ask. Li Gang replied.
"Silly boy, you can ask, or invite her to Attu Town for a holiday!" I nodded, "She's an astronaut major, isn't there your alumnus Alexander?" Maybe she'd like to come and have a look? ”
"Okay, uncle, then let me ask her to try?" Ligang was a little embarrassed.
"You must ask, remember: love is like a battlefield, and you must have the determination to win in order to win the hearts of beauties!"
After talking to Ligang, I looked at the time, and it was past three o'clock, and Lao Peng should not be taking a nap, so I dialed his phone.
"Hi, Mr. Zeng, hello!"
Mr. Peng's energetic voice came out of his mobile phone: "I haven't received your call for a long time!" ”
"Mr. Peng is good! I'm sorry, but I just came back from a business trip abroad a few months ago. No, I want to ask you to have a meal and meet the day after tomorrow. ”
"Mr. Zeng, we are so familiar with each other, we don't have to eat, everyone is busy at the end of the year." Mr. Peng said: "If you have any orders, you can just say it directly on the phone!" ”
"Mr. Peng, I don't have any big deals, otherwise, I'll come to your office tomorrow morning to meet with you? The main thing is that I haven't reported to you as a director for a few months. ”
"Hey, Mr. Zeng, don't dare to be," Mr. Peng hurriedly said: "I'm just a director who makes up a number, so let's do it, I'll wait for you tomorrow morning." ”
The office of Jinghai Fund is located in the International Center of Financial Street, not far from the headquarters of Yewang Group.
I arrived at their office on the 7th floor of the International Center just before 9 a.m.
Lao Peng gets up early and usually arrives at the office at 8 o'clock.
The little girl at the front desk ushered me into Peng Dong's office, where he had already made tea and sat on the reception sofa waiting for me.
"Mr. Zeng, this is a Qimen black tea sent by a friend, is your product from the old tree of Wuyi Mountain."
He beckoned me to sit on the couch and said as he made me tea.
"Good, good!" I took a sip from my teacup and said, "It tastes good, it's fragrant!" It should be, right? I don't quite understand either! ”
"Hehe, you are humble! You're a connoisseur! ”
"Where, where!" I smiled and said, "Mr. Peng, I came here today, I really have something to discuss with you." ”
Knowing each other so well, I decided not to beat around the bush and get straight to the point.
"Oh, you say!"
Mr. Peng leaned back on the sofa and looked at me calmly.
He seems to have known what I was here for.
"That's the case, it's not the end of the year, Mr. Dong was anxious to find me yesterday, saying that our group's position before the Spring Festival was a little tight, and there were several loans due in January, I don't know if I had time to renew the loans, and I am afraid that there will be a gap in working capital before the year. I had just returned from the U.S. and was a little caught off guard. No, I'm looking for you to move the rescuers again! ”
"Well, I have heard some rumors about the shortage of funds in your group," Mr. Peng said unhurriedly, "I heard that your Tianjin automobile project will invest tens of billions of yuan?" And you're still working on rocket projects in the United States? ”
"The rocket project is my personal investment, and it has nothing to do with the group," I explained: "The Tianjin Automobile Factory only needs to invest about 3 billion yuan, and the land is from the partner, which saves a lot of money." ”
"Oh, Mr. Zeng, you are bold and energetic! Ten years younger than me after all! With good physical strength, one person can work on so many big projects at the same time! Mr. Peng said with emotion, and then changed the conversation:
"However, I also kindly remind you, Mr. Zeng: It's easy to pull eggs when you have big steps, no matter how good your physical strength is, you don't have to keep rushing forward!"
"Mr. Peng, you are right, I have also felt it in the past few days, Yewang has developed too fast in recent years, and I can't stop the car," I reflected: "Other executives in the company may also be exhausted, and management is a little unable ......to keep up."
"Yes, your stall is really not small, TV, mobile phone, car, rocket together, I think you want to be China's "Jobs" and "Musk"! ”
Mr. Peng laughed! I'm so good! I waved my hand and said:
"If it weren't for you and other investors who have been supporting me, our Ambition Group would not have developed so fast! So this time, I also asked Mr. Peng to draw a knife again to help and save an emergency! ”
"Hehe, how big is your funding gap now?" Mr. Peng asked.
"Dong finally calculated, about 1.5 billion is needed before the holiday, but the follow-up loan for the Spring Festival can be turned over, and it will be borrowed for 3 months at most." I say.
"1.5 billion? I don't! Mr. Peng suddenly sat up straight and said:
"Mr. Zeng, you also know that although our company manages tens of billions of funds, most of it is LP's money. And now most of the money has been invested, and there are not many projects that have been withdrawn last year, and not much money has been returned. In the past, when Mr. Dong was nervous, he asked me to borrow a few hundred million to adjust the position, and I could still handle it. I want to borrow 1.5 billion at once this year, but I really don't have it! ”
"Well," I said to him, looking down for a moment,
"Mr. Peng, we are indeed a little embarrassed this year. You are our own person, so I didn't hide it from you either. In this way, you can see how much you can lend us, and I'll find another way to do the rest. ”
"This ......" Mr. Peng pondered for a moment, sighed and said:
"Hey, Mr. Zeng, you are here in person today, I want to find a way to make up 500 million to borrow from you? Up to that! ”
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble!" I thanked: "When you are not busy one day, I still want to invite you and your sister-in-law to have a meal, call Yan Ni together, and the two of us will get together!" ”
"Okay, no hurry!" Mr. Peng smiled and said:
"Mr. Zeng, you have to accompany Yan Ni more, but you can't just think about your career and snub her!"
"Haha, you're right!" I got up and took my leave.
When I returned to my office, I asked my secretary Xiao Min to call Dong Jinping to come over immediately.
Five minutes later, Mr. Dong pushed the door in: "Mr. Zeng, are you looking for me?" ”
"Lao Dong, Mr. Peng only promised to borrow 500 million, and we have to find another way." I told him.
"Ah, that's it?!" Mr. Dong slowly sat down in front of my desk and asked me again:
"The remaining 1 billion, is there anything else you can do?"
