Chapter 24: A Chaotic Day

I scrambled to my feet, got my hair cut, and then dialed Li Hua's WeChat video call.

The video was connected, and the video showed Li Hua wearing only a long T-shirt pajamas, sitting on a single small sofa, the video was dimly lit, and a corner of the bed was exposed on the side of the small sofa.

How can it be so casual? Silly girl. I thought to myself.

"Li Hua, are you ready to sleep?"

I asked, it's past 12 midnight California time.

"Yes, I was going to sleep, but I couldn't sleep when I swiped the news of Yewang Sports," Li Hua asked a little anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" Boss? ”

"This incident was also relatively sudden," I pondered how to say to Li Hua, "we also just found out that there was something wrong with Mr. Wei, and then he disappeared, which caught us off guard. ”

"Oh, what's wrong with him? Looks serious? ”

"It's still under investigation, but his run is also a self-confession."

I don't want to talk about too many details with her, after all, the public security bureau has not yet filed a case, and the company announcement has not disclosed the details.

"Oh, looking at his usual arrogant person, I didn't expect to be so cowardly!"

Li Hua's tone was a little sentimental and a little contemptuous.

"Yes, many people were bluffed by his appearance, including me."

"Hey, boss, you have so much business, you have to find so many people, how can you see them all!"

Li Hua tried to comfort me.

"yes, maybe it's because I'm doing too much business......"

I laughed at myself in my heart, I thought to myself, I have to pay it back after all.

"We're doing well here, boss, you're relieved!"

Li Hua saw that I was silent, and reported: "After all, Alexander is well-known in the industry, and now it is much easier to recruit people, and the rocket design and development team has almost 40 people in place, and it has basically been formed!" ”

"Yes! That's great! I happily asked her, "Where is the overall design of the GQ01 rocket progressing now?" ”

"Well, Alexander has already started the general design of the GQ01 rocket with Ligang and a few backbones. They have divided the R&D personnel into several groups such as arrow body structure, propulsion, control, safety and security, etc., each team has appointed a team leader and deputy team leader, and clarified the first stage of the work task, the team has entered the state, and they are working overtime at night! ”

"Good! Are there any questions and difficulties? Don't tell me good news or bad news! ”

"Well, it's nothing at the moment, I've only been here for more than a week, and Ligang is now working well with Alexander," Li Hua said: "I'm mainly doing a good job of logistics support for everyone, administrative, procurement, and miscellaneous general managers!" ”

"Well, is the company website ready? Corporate image is also very important, we need to recruit more talent, and we need to raise money soon. I reminded her.

"Well, I know, Guangqi Company's website has been made in two versions, and I will send you the first draft in a while, and it is expected to be launched this week."

Li Hua said: "In addition, I also want to ask you about the recruitment, whether the market and engineering personnel do not need to be so urgent now, after all, there is not much money in the account of Guangqi Company now, and the group is ......."

"This, I'll arrange it," Li Hua's consideration was not unreasonable, and I was also a little worried, so I asked her, "Alexander, does he know about the recent situation of the Yewang Group?" ”

"He shouldn't pay attention," Li Hua said: "After all, he doesn't understand Chinese, he won't read the domestic media, and besides, there are so many things about rocket research and development now, he can't care about it at all." “

"That's good!"

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should first proceed with the original plan for recruitment, and you will discuss and decide with Alexander and Ligang when you make an offer." During my absence, you were just three stinkers and one Zhuge Liang, and you managed the company well. I'll find a way to protect the funds. ”

"Howler!"

Li Hua said happily, "Boss, you say so, I can sleep at night!"

After hanging up Li Hua's video, I put my phone on the coffee table and lay down again.

At this time, the phone rang again, and I thought irritably: Who is this to inquire about Mr. Wei's news?

I reached out and picked up the phone, and when I saw it, it was Peng Dong.

I panicked, sat up again, and connected the phone: "Mr. Peng, hello!" ”

"Zeng is always good! Hey, what's going on with your Mr. Wei? How do you say just go? Now all sorts of speculation outside! ”

Peng Dong asked me straight to the point, his tone was a little anxious, obviously he had already understood the relevant situation.

As the second largest shareholder of a listed company, his loss today should not be small.

"Yes! I didn't expect him to be such a person, eating inside and out! We have already reported the case, and on the side of Yewang Sports, Lin Jun has already taken over, so it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

"It's not a matter of reporting the case now, it's a question of how to restore everyone's confidence in ambition and how to stop the stock price from falling!"

Peng Dong raised his voice.

"Mr. Peng, do you have any suggestions?"

Since the last time he regretted borrowing money, my relationship with Peng Dong has cooled down all of a sudden. I'm not surprised that he says that now.

"I don't think it's okay to go on like this, Mr. Zeng! Therefore, I suggest that an interim board of directors of a listed company be convened as soon as possible, and everyone should discuss it, and we must be responsible for all shareholders about what countermeasures and how to adjust next! You tell me? ”

Interim Board of Directors? Adjust? What did he think?

"Yes, I originally wanted to wait for last year's annual report to come out before opening it, so let's meet in advance first, and I'll let Guo Furong arrange to notify you."

I said calmly.

"Good, good! Try to arrange it before the Spring Festival! ”

Peng Dong hung up the phone.

Jinghai Fund is the largest institutional shareholder of Yewang Technology, holding about 12% of the shares of the listed company, and Peng Dong is not only a director of the listed company, but also an important shareholder of Yewang Group.

How does he want to adjust?

I can't help but think of Guo Furong's warning to me earlier.

Thinking of this, I sent a WeChat message to Guo Furong:

"Fleur, please come to my office right away."

Ten minutes later, Guo Furong hurried to my office.

I asked her to sit down in a chair in front of her desk. She spread out the notebook she had brought on her desk and waited for me to assign tasks.

"Furong, have you communicated with those institutional shareholders of listed companies recently, and do they have any movements?"

I'm straight to the point.

"There's some communication, and I'm just going to report back to you,"

Fleur said with a serious expression:

"Because of the decline in the stock price, everyone is a little dissatisfied, and they all ask what countermeasures the company has? They also expressed their incomprehension of the matter of Mr. Wei of the sports company, saying that there are problems with our corporate governance......"

"Well," I nodded, "have you found any specific movements other than that?" ”

Furong thought for a moment, and then said: "This time, Shenlu Investment asked us to buy back shares, and it seems that it has also spread out. Several other institutions that participated in last year's private placement also came to me and asked me if there was really such a thing as a repurchase agreement. I told them that as far as I know, no. ”

Lao Dong signed a secret repurchase agreement with Shenlu, except for Zhang Qiang, he should not have told anyone else.

Now, the clever ones that used to play before have turned back to chase us.

Therefore, people must not be clever.

"In addition, I also heard rumors that some shareholders suggested replacing the chairman of the listed company, saying that your current mind is not in the country at all, and only by replacing the chairman's stock can the decline be stopped."

Speaking of this, Fleur paused, and then asked tentatively, "Mr. Zeng, you should be able to control the board of directors of listed companies now, right?" ”

There are a total of seven people on the board of directors of Yewang Technology Company, in addition to the four executive directors of me, Zhang Qiang, Lao Dong and Tao Hai, as well as two non-executive directors Peng Dong and Cao Xiaojun, and one independent director Zhang Hanlian.

Peng Dong and Cao Xiaojun are the managing partners of the two largest private equity firms that have invested in Yewang Technology, and I used to have a good relationship. Zhang Hanlian is a professor at the School of Management of the National People's Congress, and he is very amiable, and he has never voted against it in previous meetings.

It stands to reason that I can still control the situation with these directors!

Even if Peng Dong convinces Cao Xiaojun and Professor Zhang, it is impossible for the other three executive directors to listen to him!

Seeing that I was lost in thought, Fleur put down the pen in her hand and sat there quietly looking at me.

"Furong, Mr. Peng proposed to convene an interim board of directors before the Spring Festival, I agreed, you should arrange it as soon as possible!"

I thought about it for a while, and felt that if it was going to rain and my mother was going to get married, it would be useless for me to worry, so I would prepare for the meeting first, after all, there was not much time before the Spring Festival.

"What's the agenda?" Fleur asked.

"Mr. Peng said that he wanted to discuss the problems faced by listed companies now, including the problem of stock decline, and how the company should respond to adjustments, you can call him directly to ask him clearly."

"Isn't this to blame your master, you have to be careful!"

Fleur said with a worried look at me.

"Hehe, whatever he wants, as long as he is sincere for the good of the company, I am willing to listen."

"Mr. Zeng, you are dedicated to the good of the company, others may not be!"

Fleur was even more anxious when she saw me being so big.

I laughed, and was about to make a joke with Fleur and relax the atmosphere, when Lao Dong pushed the door in a panic, and my smile condensed.

"Nothing good!"

I thought to myself, Lao Dong is about to become a ghost now!

"Mr. Zeng, there's another trouble!"

Lao Dong did not shy away from Guo Furong at all.

"Say it!" My heart has stopped.

"Last year, the group borrowed a loan of 900 million yuan from Baoshang Bank, which was also pledged with your listed company shares," Lao Dong said: "Today, the stock price of Yewang Technology has fallen below their pledge risk control price, and Baoshang Bank requires us to immediately increase the pledge, otherwise we will have to recover the loan." ”

"It's all guys who help fall into the well!"

I still couldn't help but curse angrily.

"Hey! Now we are human beings under the eaves and have to bow our heads! ”

Lao Dong lowered his head and sighed.

He's right.

We've had enough trouble now, and we don't have time to bother with them.

So I said to Lao Dong:

"Okay, we can only promise them, you can hurry up and prepare the documents!"

Lao Dong nodded, turned to Furong and said:

"I'm sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry and interrupted you! Go ahead! ”

As he spoke, he walked out the door.

After Lao Dong left, I sat there sullenly, not knowing what to say to Fleur for a while.

Seeing this, Fleur put away her notebook, walked to the tea table, picked up the kettle, walked over to me, and helped me fill my teacup with a little water.

She looked very quiet when she poured water beside me, like Yan Ni.

I was in a trance, and I unconsciously reached out and pulled Fleur into my arms!

Fleur was startled, staring at me with wide eyes, her body frozen!

I saw her expression and reacted immediately, and hurriedly let go of her and said, "I'm sorry, Fleur! I was in a bit of a trance just now, and I'm sorry to think you for Yan Ni! ”

Furong hurriedly stood up, straightened her clothes, blushed and said, "It's okay, Mr. Zeng, you seem to be under too much pressure, I'll go first, you can take a rest!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the notebook on his desk and walked out of my office quickly.

When Fleur went out, I slapped myself twice!

"What's going on! It's dizzy! ”

I scolded myself in my heart:

"Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, isn't there enough trouble now!"
