Chapter 21: Burning with Anger

On Saturday, I wanted to get together with a few well-connected institutional minority shareholders to explore and warm up for the planned equity financing of the group. Unexpectedly, when I got up in the morning and just finished washing, I received a WeChat message from Wei Hong:

"Boss? Got up? Excuse me! I haven't been able to make an appointment to report to you in person since you came back from the United States, so I wonder if you will be able to meet me on the weekend? Regarding the work plan of the sports company next year, if you don't guide me, I am not sure! ”

"Okay, I'm here!"

I secretly sneered in my heart, "Is it a weak heart?" Or do you hear the wind and come to explore my reality? ”

Since the group's budget meeting, Wei Hong and Xiao Min have made several appointments to see me, but I ignored him.

Since he can't bear it anymore, I'll meet him, see what he says!

Thinking of this, I replied to him: "Okay, 10:30 in the morning in the group office." ”

I don't have the heart to make an appointment with a small shareholder anymore, it's better to deal with the shit behind the door first, clean up and celebrate the New Year!

After I finished breakfast, I asked the driver to take me to the group headquarters building.

At 10:32, I took the elevator to the top floor, and Wei Hong was already waiting at the door of my office.

"It's always early!"

When he saw me coming up, he stepped forward to shake my hand and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I'll let you come to the office on the weekend!" Sorry, sorry! ”

"It's fine."

I opened the office door with my fingerprints and asked him to come in and say, "Sit down on the couch, there's Evian water on the coffee table." Today, Xiao Min is not here, and no one makes coffee. ”

Wei Hong has drunk foreign ink and used to work in American companies, so he has a foreign style, usually goes to work in a straight suit and only drinks black coffee.

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

Wei Hong put away his old style today, and his voice was a little restrained.

I sat down on the couch and looked at him without saying a word.

He wore a coffee-colored cashmere coat today, a dark gray crewneck sweater over a white shirt, his hair was meticulously combed back, and he looked quite handsome and professional with gold-rimmed rimless glasses.

"Outside the gold! You actually lied to me! I sighed inwardly, "It's a pity that it's a good skin!" ”

"Mr. Zeng, you should have seen the work plan and budget of the sports company next year, right? Do you have any valuable comments and suggestions, please give us some advice? ”

Seeing that I didn't speak, Wei Hong spoke.

"Well, I saw it, the specific budget Mr. Zhang and Mr. Dong should talk to you next week, they have been very busy recently."

I said, "What are your specific options for equity financing?" Interested investors? ”

"Yes, yes!" Wei Hong suddenly became energetic, "Our revenue this year has exceeded 1 billion, according to the price-to-sales ratio of 15 to 20 times, the valuation of Yewang Sports can reach 150-20 billion, and we plan to raise 20 to 3 billion next year, which will dilute more than a dozen points." ”

"Oh, Wild Hope Sports hasn't made a profit yet, can it be estimated so high? Have investors found out? ”

"Don't worry, boss, we are already in contact with several domestic funds," Wei Hong said excitedly: "Moreover, I also asked someone to find a few emerging market equity investment funds in the United States, and they were very interested in the company introduction we sent in the past, and I am about to report to you and approve me to go to the United States to meet and talk with them during the Spring Festival!" ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but move, and secretly wondered:

"This guy still has the ability! Do you want to let him go first and let him get the money in? Or cut through the mess quickly and stop the loss in time? ”

I was hesitating, Wei Hong continued: "My friends in the United States have already gone to New York to meet with these funds in person, if I can pass the Spring Festival, I can directly discuss the specific investment details!" ”

"Okay!" I said perfunctorily, hesitant to agree to let him talk.

"However, there is something I want to report to you, and I and Mr. Zhang Qiang have also asked for instructions," At this time, Wei Hong said in a casual tone: "If this financing is successful, I will have to pay my friend 3-4% of the financial advisory fee, which is the industry rule." Before I go, I have to sign the consulting contract with him, otherwise he will not take me to the management. ”

"Hmph, the fox's tail is finally revealed!"

I thought to myself, "I'm in such a hurry, I'm going to talk about it during the Spring Festival, and I want to make another 80 million for this?" ”

"Well, I see, where is this friend of yours from? What's your name? ”

I also asked lightly.

"His name is Shaw Bodie, an American, and he was introduced to me by a good friend of mine, who is said to have quite a few friends on Wall Street."

"Oh, Shaw Bodie, is that Shaw who did his MBA at Berkeley? Not your classmates? ”

After I finished speaking, I stared straight at Wei Hong.

Too lazy to pretend, I decided to go straight to the showdown.

Wei Hong's face turned white, his lips trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice:

"Yes, it's my classmate...... But he really helped me find a few funds......"

"Well, he's really capable! It can not only help you find the event league to buy live broadcast rights, but also help you find Wall Street funds to pull investment. ”

Wei Hong lowered his head, and I saw small beads of sweat on his forehead.

I wasn't 100% sure, after all, there was no direct evidence, but when I saw him like this, I was convinced, and I couldn't help but be angry, and reprimanded:

"Isn't the salary bonus given to you enough?! And these famous halls! ”

"No...... Me,"

Wei Hong looked up at me in a panic, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his fingers in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Zeng, I'm sorry ......!" ”

He must have never seen me lose my temper. I used to like him so much!

Ay!

"What to do with him now?"

I calmed down and thought about what to do with him.

The timing was too bad, the stock price had just hit a new low, and the group was ready to raise money. If this scandal spreads, it will be another major blow to the stock price!

Now the matter of Shenlu investment has not been resolved!

"What do you say I'm going to do with you!"

I asked, backwards.

Wei Hong thought that there was hope again, and immediately said eagerly: "Mr. Zeng, please give me a chance to change!" I will withdraw all the money, and I will work harder in the future, and strive to atone for my sins! Please give me a chance! ”

He propped his hands on the couch coffee table, his body bent, almost kneeling on the carpet.

I looked at him with disdain and thought, "How can a person with a moral flaw be believed?" Give you a chance? Think too much! ”

But how to control the impact and harm caused by this incident to the company?

"You go back and review and reflect!"

I thought for a moment and said to him, "Give me your review report and resignation report on Monday morning, and I'll see how to deal with it!" ”

Before I thought about a safe plan, I decided to leave some leeway.

After all, this position is very important, and it is best for him to cooperate with the handover transition.

"Okay, Mr. Zeng." Wei Hong's expression was a little disappointed.

"! Tens of millions of things, can I forgive you so easily?! It's too beautiful! ”

I said to him coldly:

"Let's do this today, you go back!"

"Okay, then I'll go first,"

Wei Hong slowly got up from the sofa, looked at me and said, expecting me to say something to him again.

I waved at him and didn't look at him again.

He had no choice but to go out on his own.

Hearing the sound of him going out and closing the door, my tense body relaxed, and I leaned back on the couch and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's already said that it's broken, and it can't be delayed.

The Spring Festival holiday is approaching, time is urgent, how to properly handle this matter and minimize the harm to the company?

I had to think hard about how to deal with it.

People with bad conduct, no matter how capable they are, can't be used, this is the bottom line.

But who should be called to pick up the sports company's stall?

Tao Hai? Lin Jun? Mr. Zhu of the film and television company?

I quickly thought of a few possible candidates.

Tao Hai is a person who can be absolutely trusted, but he is not familiar with the sports industry, and the group's procurement and logistics management are also very important...... Lin Jun has strong strategic planning ability, and has also participated in the preparation of sports companies, and the only lack of operation and management experience is that; Zhu Qingyang, president of Yewang Film and Television Company, is still familiar with the business of sports companies, but the business of film and television companies itself is very complicated, is he willing to take over this stall......

I couldn't make a decision for a while, so I decided to wait for Zhang Qiang to discuss with him after he returned from Shenzhen.

What should be done with Wei Hong?

On official business, suspected of dereliction of duty and bribery, go to report the case? But we don't have direct evidence yet!

And this matter is public, it is definitely a big thunder for Yewang Sports and listed companies, and the stock price will definitely be hit, how will it be financed next year?

If you don't report the case, you will be dismissed from office and the stolen money will be returned?

If the company handles it so lightly and sets a precedent, what will the employees think?

This is how A-shares cannot be carried out, supervision becomes sophisticated, the cost of crime is too low, and the system will lose its authority.

Yewang Group now has such a large and complex business and so many employees, the system is relaxed, and the law enforcement is not strict, and the team will collapse......

How to control this scale?

Thinking of this, I decided to give Qingqing a call and listen to her opinion.

"Mr. Zeng, what do you command?" Qingqing picked up the phone and asked.

Although it was the weekend, as soon as she answered the phone, she immediately got into work.

I described my meeting with Wei Hong in the morning, and then asked her:

"Qingqing, now that there is a showdown, there is no preparation for the transition, the time is more urgent, what do you think should be done with Wei Hong?"

"Well," Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zeng, I think your showdown may be a little early, and if you are in a hurry, you may startle the snake." ”

"I, I couldn't hold back." Thinking about it now, it was really a bit of a head at the time, and the feeling of being betrayed can definitely make a person's blood surge up and lose their rationality.

Crimes of passion.

What if I held back?

There will be more time for evidence collection and preparation for the transition takeover......

I understand what Qingqing means.

"So what do you propose now? How do you manage risk? ”

"It's a bit complicated now," Qingqing said, "If Wei cooperates and submits the review report and resignation report as you request on Monday, we will be able to take the initiative, things will be easier to handle, you can consider sending him lightly, as long as he does a good job of handover." But I'm afraid he won't be so honest. ”

"If he is not honest, what can he do?"

"He could not cooperate, procrastinate, not resign, and at the same time notify Shaw to expunge the relevant evidence, and then play a scoundrel and not admit it. He knows the current situation of your company, and may bet on you to be a rat trap and dare not let go of him. ”

Qingqing said, "There is another possibility, he can also run away directly and go back to the United States, he has a green card, he can leave at any time." After all, there are tens of millions, and now it's okay to retire. ”

"Hmm," Hearing Qingqing say this, the sourness that I had just scolded Wei Hong immediately disappeared without a trace, and my mood became heavy.

"Now, you can only wait until Monday to watch," Qingqing finally said, "I will ask the team and friends in the United States to speed up the collection of relevant evidence, and we have to make two preparations." I'll think about the specific plan and discuss it with you on Monday. ”

"Okay, thank you."

I hung up the phone.

Qingqing always thinks clearly.

Valuable friend.

Now the question is,

Will Wei Hong come on Monday?

Will he pull back from the precipice? Or will they be lucky, or even choose to fall to the end?

O human heart, unfathomable, even the most familiar people.

One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.
