Chapter 157: It's hard to do anything
Only then did Lao Liang realize the purpose of Guan Yuntian's call, could it be that the situation of Hongyuan Company was really not good? He seemed to guess what the other party was going to say next, so he hurriedly blocked the door: "Where do I know about the situation of Hongyuan Company!"
"Director Liang, it seems that your old classmate Manager Chen didn't tell you the truth. ”
Lao Liang, a Beijing official, although his position is not high, but under the roots of the imperial city, he has seen a lot of the world after all, so he immediately calmed down: "Where did you hear about those situations just now? Rumors are spreading, don't hear about it!"
Maybe Director Liang really didn't know the inside story of Hongyuan Company, or he deliberately helped Hongyuan Company hide the true situation, no matter what the reason, Guan Yuntian's purpose in calling him was not to do anything to him, but to let him know that the capital operation project he strongly recommended at the beginning was actually facing huge risks, and the reason why he jumped into the fire pit was completely to give him face.
"I forgot to tell Director Liang that our chief financial officer went to S City for a meeting two days ago, and by the way, he visited Hongyuan Company, talked with some managers, and had a basic understanding of the situation there, otherwise who knows that they are in arrears of employees' wages?"
In the face of the facts, Lao Liang completely retreated, "Since you have mastered the first-hand materials, then you just need to pay attention to the prevention and control of risks, to borrow a phrase from the stock market, stock speculation is risky, and investment needs to be cautious." ”
This is obviously to get rid of the relationship with himself, and when he was introduced again and again, Lao Liang may have deliberately forgotten it, in fact, he was thinking too much, Guan Yuntian called just to inform him and understand some information, and had no other purpose.
This last sentence made Guan Yuntian cry and laugh, how could the capital operation project you recommended be confused with stock speculation? If it weren't for your repeated recommendations, why would Changda Group invest in Hongyuan Company, which is 1,000 or 2,000 kilometers away? Now it has become that we are not cautious, and it is really a big mouth! No matter how you say it, it is reasonable. "Thank you Director Liang for reminding us, we will take measures. This sentence also left room for Lao Liang's imagination.
After ending the call with Lao Liang, Guan Yuntian called Lao Zhou, chairman of Hongyuan Company, and Lao Gao, general manager, respectively, but the landline in their office was not answered several times in a row, and the mobile phone was also in a state of unreachable, which further strengthened Guan Yuntian's doubts.
The next morning, Guan Yuntian finally dialed the phone of Lao Gao, the general manager of Hongyuan Company, and the bell rang seven or eight times before the other party picked up, "Are you Mr. Gao?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Guan Yuntian, do you remember the company called Changda Group in the north?"
"Changda Group, Guan Yuntian----, Oh, I remembered, hello Mr. Guan!" Lao Gao met Guan Yuntian more than two years ago, although the time was a little long, he still remembered.
"Mr. Gao, you guys are so hard to find! I haven't been able to contact you all this time, what have you been busy with lately?"
"I went to the New York Stock Exchange with Dong Chou to seek a NASDAQ listing, and just came back from the other side of the ocean yesterday afternoon, Lao Zhou has some things to deal with, and he is still staying in Hong Kong, because we have been out for more than a month, and the company has accumulated a lot of things, and I will come back first. ”
"Oh, Hongyuan is going to go public on the NASDAQ? Is the matter settled?" Guan Yuntian had heard of the NASDAQ of the New York Stock Exchange, but he did not know the specific situation.
"The intention has been decided, and the next step is to make preparations, and our goal is to raise $1 billion on the NASDAQ, and now it seems that this goal will not be difficult to achieve. ”
According to the exchange rate, Guan Yuntian made an estimate, "Yo, if you really raise one billion US dollars, there will be six or seven billion yuan of financial support, and the capital environment of Hongyuan Company will be very relaxed." ”
Of course, if we can be successfully listed on the NASDAQ, financing is of course one thing, and the main thing is to open up a broader market for Hongyuan's products to enter the international market. ”
Because Guan Yuntian is not very familiar with the listing of the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ, if Lao Gao did not deliberately emphasize that their capital environment is very relaxed, Guan Yuntian may really believe what Lao Gao said, but his boasting exposed the emptiness of Hongyuan Company.
Guan Yuntian has been the CEO of a large enterprise for many years, an enterprise that has been in arrears of employees' wages for a long time, and claims that the funds are loose in front of him, no matter how many reasons he finds out, he will not believe it!
"Mr. Gao, after last year's efforts, how is the progress of Hongyuan's health care products project?"
"It's progressing well, and although large-scale industrial production has been delayed for other reasons, the project is working well overall. Lao Zhou and I went to the other side of the ocean this time, and another purpose was to explore the North American market. ”
"It seems that the situation is good, when will the industrial production be ready to be implemented?"
"Well, it's estimated that it won't be until the second half of this year or the beginning of next year. ”
"Mr. Gao, I don't know what makes the industrial production plan repeatedly delayed?"
"There are more than one reason, such as the site selection of large-scale production, personnel recruitment and ordering and processing of non-standard equipment, etc. Mr. Guan, I see that you are very concerned about the situation of our Hongyuan Company!" Lao Gao seemed to have forgotten about Changda Group's shareholding in Hongyuan Company's health care products project.
"We have reason to be concerned about the situation of Hongyuan Company, to be precise, we are concerned about Hongyuan Company's health care products project, Mr. Gao should remember that we Changda Group is one of the shareholders of this project. Guan Yuntian reminded.
"Oh, yes, you put in a sum of money, how much? I can't remember the exact amount. ”
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember the specific amount, there are payment vouchers and shareholding agreements as evidence, as long as Mr. Gao doesn't forget that we are also shareholders. Guan Yuntian said coldly.
"Where did Mr. Guan go, how could we forget the shareholders?"
"I hope so. Mr. Gao, I would like to ask by the way, since the project is progressing as planned, what is the dividend ...... last year?"
"Are you trying to ask about the dividends? Oh, didn't I say it, I went to the New York Stock Exchange with Lao Zhou to operate the NASDAQ listing, and I was not at home for more than a month, so the matter of the shareholding dividend was delayed, and the shareholders were anxious, right?"
"I don't know if other shareholders are in a hurry, anyway, we are not in a hurry, because Changda Group doesn't care about that dividend, and the purpose of my call is to ask how the project is progressing. Actually, it doesn't matter if we don't pay dividends, but as shareholders, we have the right to know the progress of the project, don't you say?"
"Mr. Guan is right, not only do you have the right to know the progress of the project, but you also have the right to receive dividends. Don't worry, when Lao Zhou returns to the unit, we will immediately study the dividend matter. ”
"It's good, although no one expects to live with the dividends, but the dividends on time show a posture of Hongyuan Company, and you can be regarded as having an explanation to the outside world, which is also good to say. ”
"What Mr. Guan said is that he should give an explanation to the shareholders no matter what, once Lao Zhou comes back, we will do this, and it is estimated that there will be results in ten days and half a month. ”
If the shareholders are delayed because the two CEOs went abroad to operate the company and are listed on the NASDAQ, this reason is not only completely reasonable, but also very legitimate, but Ding Xiangqian, the financial director of Changda Group, went to Hongyuan Company to hear and see with his own eyes, but the situation is very different from what Lao Gao said. Obviously, what Lao Ding learned is true, how credible is what Lao Gao said?
Fortunately, Lao Gao did not push the time back too far, ten days and half a month arrived in a blink of an eye, and after three weeks, Hongyuan Company's dividends were still nowhere to be found, and Guan Yuntian had to think that Lao Gao was lying.
Lao Gao didn't tell the truth, which further confirmed that what Lao Ding learned was completely true. Seeing that the 10 million funds invested were about to be lost, Guan Yuntian summoned his two think tanks, Ye Jiayi and Ding Xiangqian, to discuss countermeasures.
Listening to Guan Yuntian's repetition of Lao Gao's rhetoric, Ye Jiayi couldn't help but smile and said: "Hongyuan Company is worthy of being located in the Special Economic Zone, adjacent to Hong Kong, and even deceiving people lies are of such a high grade. As far as I know about NASDAQ, it is a securities trading institution that specializes in technology companies with excellent potential, and an enterprise like Hongyuan Company, which is not looked down upon by domestic securities institutions, also wants to be listed on NASDAQ. ”
"What does Jiayi mean, what Lao Gao said about preparing to be listed on the NASDAQ, is it a lie they made up?" Guan Yuntian said.
"With the current situation of Hongyuan, it is impossible to be listed on the NASDAQ. In fact, the standards of the NASDAQ are very high, even ordinary technology companies cannot meet the requirements, not to mention that this Hongyuan company is not a technology company in the first place, and we are not ignorant of it. "Before taking a stake in Hongyuan Company, Ye Jiayi and Guan Yuntian went there for an in-depth investigation.
"Now it seems that what Mr. Ding saw and heard when he went to Hongyuan Company some time ago is completely true, in the face of such a situation, what measures should we take next to recover the shares of Changda Group?" Guan Yuntian looked at Ye Jiayi and Lao Ding.
"According to what I have learned and Mr. Ye's judgment on Lao Gao's words, it can now be concluded that Hongyuan Company is on the edge of the cliff, but the shelf has not collapsed, but it is difficult to say whether there will be tomorrow if it survives today, that is to say, this company is in danger of falling at any time. There is really no good way to deal with this situation. Lao Ding frowned.
"What does Mr. Ding mean, we can only go with the flow and do nothing?"
"Mr. Guan, this is far away from Hongyuan Company, even if there is any wind and grass, no one has sent us a message, and when it reaches our ears, the cucumber dishes are cold. Of course, I want to make a difference, but I can't send someone to watch over there, right? After all, other people's businesses are still running. ”
Guan Yuntian nodded, "Yes, this way of investing in shares is not like borrowing, if the 10 million is lent to the other party, we are creditors and can be recovered through legal channels, but as shareholders, the situation is different, even if you want to do something, you don't know where to start." ”
The atmosphere at the scene fell silent, and in the face of this situation, the three super capable people also felt helpless.
Investing in Hongyuan Company, I had a premonition that there would be risks, but I didn't expect this risk to come so quickly and so fiercely.
If it is three or five hundred thousand, Guan Yuntian will not care so much, after all, Changda Group has a big business, and if it loses hundreds of thousands, it should be paid for tuition, and it is not impossible to buy a lesson, but this is 10 million, if you want to say that you are not distressed, it is not the truth.
