"Husband, the company's stock seems to have fallen quite a bit recently, and several of my friends are asking me what's going on? I'm embarrassed, how do I tell them? ”

After some lingering, Yan Ni and I hugged each other in bed and got ready to sleep, when she suddenly remembered and asked me.

Yan Ni has many film and television company owners, directors and celebrity friends who are shareholders of Yewang Company.

There are some old friends with good relationships, who came in before Yewang Technology went public, and have made a lot of money. Most of the rest were invested in additional issuance after listing, or directly invested in Yewang Film and Television Culture Company.

When Yewang Film and Television Company was first established, in order to facilitate the integration of Yan Ni's resources in the circle, she was appointed as a director of the film and television company, and sometimes a producer of a movie or TV series.

In the past, many of her friends approached her and wanted to invest in our company, or want to participate in the movies and TV series we invested in and produce, and asked for a role or something.

Yan Ni is hot in the film and television industry, and many people call her the boss lady directly.

Recently, the company's stock price has fallen a lot, and it is estimated that many of her friends are muttering a little in their hearts.

"It's normal, the market is falling." I tried to reassure Yan Ni: "Besides, the stock market is risky, and investment must be cautious. Who can guarantee that the stock price will keep rising! Why didn't they sell when the stock price was high?"

"That being said, after all, they're all good friends!" Yan Ni said: "They also believe in us to invest in our company. ”

"What a good friend," I thought to myself, "it's all about making money, just a friend of wine and meat." Without interests, they may not be friends. ”

However, I don't want my wife to be unable to hold her head up in the circle of friends because of this.

"I understand, wife. When the Tianjin plant of the automobile company is completed and put into production, the stock price will rise. I comforted Yan Ni and said, "Those who don't invest much and are really annoying, you tell them directly, if you are worried about losing money, we can buy back at the original price when they invested." However, it is only limited to a small investment amount, and it must be kept secret, otherwise everyone will come to us, and we can't afford it. ”

"I see, husband." Yan Ni had a little bottom in her heart, and fell asleep sweetly with her arms around me.

But I couldn't sleep for a long time.

A further decline in the company's stock price will cause a chain reaction.

Small investors are muttering, and large investment institutions are expected to have more opinions, maybe they already have ideas and actions, these rumors outside are ......

There are also senior executives and core employees of the company, who have been given stock options before, who have participated in employee stock ownership plans, and even borrowed money from relatives and friends to buy shares.

If it falls again, I'm afraid it will affect morale!

Now the company is short of money to raise funds, the stock price has been falling, to increase the issuance, to find new investment will be difficult.

What is the reason for this?

The decline in the broader market is one reason, but there are also quite a few stocks that have risen this year.

Wild hope Technology's financial report this year is also reasonable, except for the sports sector, which has a serious loss......

Is it because of the rocket project? Worried about the outside world?

"We have to change our minds and increase our confidence!"

I remembered Qingqing's words and decided to do something.

As soon as I arrived at the office the next morning, I asked Xiao Min to invite Zhang Qiang over.

"It's always early!"

In less than five minutes, Zhang Qiang knocked on the door and came in. His office is on the same floor.

"Hey, morning, Mr. Zhang! Come, sit here! ”

I asked Zhang Qiang to sit down with me on the couch next to my desk, and Xiao Min came in and served us two cups of Americano.

"Mr. Zhang, I was not in the country for the first three months, and you are tired!"

I greeted him politely.

"Where, don't I have to ask you for instructions on important matters," Zhang Qiang hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "I am an executor, and you have to grasp the general direction of decision-making." ”

Zhang Qiang has always been leaky in his words and deeds. Therefore, I also feel that I am always separated from him.

"Mr. Zhang, that's the case, I want to hold a press conference in the near future to inform the outside world of the progress of the Ambition Group in recent months, and at the same time clarify the relationship between the rocket project and the group. What do you think? ”

Zhang Qiang nodded and said, "Mr. Zeng, I think it's necessary!" You went to the United States a few months ago, and there were a lot of rumors outside, investors, shareholders, and even some employees were affected to a certain extent. ”

"Yes, the company's stock price has fallen so much recently, and many people probably have opinions about me. So I think it's necessary to clarify. Let the PR department plan and prepare a plan! ”

"Okay, how to decide the scope of the media invited this time? What will be released at the press conference? ”

"We have a good relationship with the national media and the Beijing media can be invited, this Guo Furong is familiar, you and her are decided." I say:

"In terms of content, the performance forecast and major progress of listed companies this year will be reported to you; The progress of Yewang Automobile's Tianjin plant was reported by Liu Hongjun; I will mainly talk about the company's future plans and prospects, as well as explain the situation of the rocket project. What other good news, you think about it again, release it together. ”

"Okay, I'll ask Guo Furong to make a press conference plan first, and I'll review it for you in the next two days."

The press conference was scheduled, and my anxiety eased a little.

In the face of difficulties and challenges, worry and anxiety do not help, only immediate action.

After Zhang Qiang left, I was about to make some tea to drink, when someone knocked on the door and came in, and I saw that it was Dong Jinping.

Seeing the solemn expression on his face, I suddenly felt bad again.

"Lao Dong, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Zeng, there is a trouble," Lao Dong stood in front of me and said, "Do you remember the Shenlu Investment Company in Shenzhen?" Last year, when Wild Hope Technology issued for the last time, they subscribed for 2 billion. ”

"I have an impression! Later, their chairman Zhou Minhao came to the capital, and I received it a few times, quite a young man. What's wrong? ”

"They sent us a letter yesterday asking us to fulfill our buyback obligations. Recently, the share price of Ambition Technology has fallen below their allotment price at that time. ”

"Have we signed a buyback clause? I don't remember that the additional issuance requires our repurchase guarantee? "I was a little surprised.

"Yes, there is generally no need to guarantee the repurchase," Lao Dong said: "But it is the first time for Dong Zhou to cooperate with us, and their subscription amount is relatively large, so I am a little worried and put forward this request." I consulted you, and you agreed, so I signed a confidential repurchase agreement with him. ”

"Is this repurchase agreement confidential? Didn't you disclose the information at that time? ”

I asked, surprised.

"No, the stock price had been rising at that time, and we assessed that it was unlikely that a buyback would be triggered within two years, so we persuaded him to sign only a confidential buyback agreement. Because if it is disclosed, other subscribers will also ask for a buyback. ”

"But it's against the law, isn't it? Is such an agreement legally binding? I asked.

"I have consulted with a lawyer, and if this kind of agreement is litigated, the court will still protect the investor, and our fault is greater. Moreover, if this kind of thing breaks out, not only will the company's reputation be damaged, but I am afraid that other investment institutions participating in that batch of private placements will also trouble us. ”

"What are you doing here!" I said angrily.

In fact, I know in my heart that Lao Dong should ask my consent to do this kind of thing. In the past few years, the company has developed too fast, and sometimes it is eager to get investors, and it will do some things to rub the edges, and there has been no problem before.

"So, how do you respond to their request now?" Lao Dong didn't argue with me either.

"Let them wait and tell them that we will have a press conference soon, and then we will expect the stock price to recover."

I thought for a while and said, "Let's delay it for a while, and now we can't take out 2 billion to buy back." ”

Lao Dong nodded helplessly.

"When will Mr. Peng's money come over?" I asked again.

"I contacted him, and he said that they still have to go through the internal process, and told me to wait a few days."

"Then you keep an eye on it, is there any progress in the negotiations with other funding parties?"

I asked, a little irritably.

"Also..... No. Lao Dong replied nervously: "Mr. Zeng, there is one more thing to report to you, Huazhou Securities agreed to extend our loan of 2 billion yuan for one year, but asked you to double the number of shares as pledge. ”

"Damn, as for it?! After cooperating for so many years, they have made so much money, and they will take advantage of the fire to rob if they are a little troubled! ”

"They said that they did risk management and control according to the company's regulations..... So, do you agree? Lao Dong asked cautiously.

"Do I have a choice?"

I asked rhetorically, being forced to drive ducks to the shelves, and I couldn't help but get angry.

The financial circle is full of snobs who just want to put the icing on the cake and make money by hitchhiking, and no one will be willing to take a little risk for you.

In fact, many of the things that happened later made me painfully realize that when I said this, I actually thought too well of them.
