Chapter 388: Each has a ghost
"If Hechuang wants to succeed, its performance must continue to grow until it is finally listed. My purpose is to ensure that Hechuang can go public smoothly.
Therefore, my betting conditions are simple. From the date of signing the agreement, within three years, Hechuang's performance will increase by at least 30% each year. Within five years, Hechuang will complete its listing.
If it cannot be done, Hechuang will repurchase the shares I hold in full based on the market value at that time. If the market value is lower than the current one billion yuan, it will be repurchased at the base price of one billion yuan, and at the same time, the interest rate for me in recent years shall not be lower than the interest rate level of the treasury bonds during the same period." Zhou Zhixiong said seriously.
He did not submit the company's control directly. Just say that, the purpose was too obvious, so he deliberately used the repurchase mechanism to cover it up first, and then settled for the second best, so that it was natural to show it.
Wu Qingdong frowned and said, "Mr. Zhou's performance is a bit too harsh, right? The market is so big, and there is always a bottleneck period for performance. The performance has increased by 30% every year for three consecutive years. It's a bit difficult, right?
Mr. Zhou, you should not know the difficulty of listing in China. It is a bit unrealistic to complete the listing within five years.
There are also repurchases. If the performance cannot be achieved, there will definitely be problems with the company's operations. How can I still have money to repurchase your shares? Not to mention paying interest."
Just be harsh. If you feel relaxed and agree with it with ease, how can I make the next request?
Zhou Zhixiong laughed in his heart and pretended to be serious and said, "It's a bit difficult, but it won't be impossible to complete it, right? The MP3 business prospects are so good. It has not been released yet. Hechuang's performance has increased by nearly 30% compared with last year. When MP3 research and development is successful and put into production and listing, its performance will be released. Within three years, its performance will increase by 30% every year. Is it still a big hope?
It is a bit difficult to go public in China, but if the performance can be achieved, there will be a chance."
Wu Qingdong suddenly felt what it means to use his own spear and attack his own shield again. He was a little annoyed. Why do you always use other people's words to fight back against others?
Do you know that this is very hateful?
Wu Qingdong cursed in his heart and retorted: "The account cannot be calculated like this. The prospects for MP3 are pretty good, but I said just now that R&D is not difficult, and competition will be very high in the later stage.
Performance growth may be very fast at the beginning, but the further growth space will become smaller and smaller. It is still hard to say how much help can provide performance.
Moreover, shopping malls are like battlefields, any situation can happen. Without considering any factors, they only require performance. This is unreasonable and I cannot accept it."
"But we also want to make a profit. If the performance cannot be achieved, what can we use to protect our interests?"
Zhou Zhixiong responded to the tit-for-tat, and after speaking, his tone eased slightly, and said, "How about this, since Mr. Wu can't accept it, I have to ensure our interests and performance cannot be compromised. Let's change our approach.
If the bet cannot be done, I will not ask Mr. Wu to repurchase the shares. You transfer the control of the company to me, and I will take charge of the company and improve the performance by myself. How about it?"
Wu Qingdong's heart suddenly jumped and instinctively wanted to refuse. What a joke, if the company he worked hard to create, would it still be his company?
But when I think about it, it seems that it is not impossible to consider it.
If the company is better, he can also benefit, especially after successfully listing.
He can't do it himself, so it would be good to use Zhou Zhixiong's ability to do it.
Although he had to hand over control of the company, the shares were still retained and he still had voting rights over the company. If Jiang Chengyu and Xu Youze were joined together, with the shares of the three of them, they would have an absolute controlling stake in the company.
Even if he temporarily handed over control, after Hechuang successfully went public, he could join forces with Jiang Chengyu and Xu Youze to launch a shareholders' meeting, reorganize the board of directors, and regain control.
Isn’t this the same as nothing has changed, just using Zhou Zhixiong’s hands to push the company to the list?
Wu Qingdong's eyes flashed, he finished his mind secretly, looked at Zhou Zhixiong, his expression unconsciously brought some fun, and then quickly calmed down and pretended to be solemn:
"Mr. Zhou has taken a step back. If I don't agree, I'll be a little ungrateful. OK, I promise you that I will sign the bet agreement. If I really can't do it, I will abdicate and give in to the virtuous and hand over the control."
It became... Wang Liu was instantly happy.
Zhou Zhixiong also breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly happy, but he did not show it too much. He just smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Wu is so happy, then I won't say much. I agree to the investment. Now let's have someone to plan the contract. We will sign the contract later. How about it?"
"No problem." Wu Qingdong agreed happily.
"Then Mr. Wu, Mr. Wang, you guys are chatting, I'll go make arrangements." Zhou Zhixiong immediately stood up and went out to arrange the contract.
Both sides have their own plans, and they are afraid that there will be more dreams in the night, so the signing of the next contract will go very smoothly.
Zhou Zhixiong arranged for someone to draft a contract and came back. Wu Qingdong checked it and found that there was no problem. He signed it on the spot. Then he stood up and rushed to Wang Liu. Zhou Zhixiong shook hands one by one and said:
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhou, the cooperation is pleasant!"
“Happy cooperation!”
Wang Liu and Zhou Zhixiong shook hands with Wu Qingdong respectively. The three of them looked at each other and laughed, each with ulterior motives.
Wu Qingdong thought to himself: Smile, laugh, don’t laugh now, but after that, I found out that I had worked hard for a long time, but I made a wedding dress for me, and I won’t be able to laugh at that time.
However, when the company goes public, your purpose of making money has been achieved. I still control the company, so we can only take each of us.
Wang Liu and Zhou Zhixiong thought to themselves: Xiaoyao, now you are laughing happily, and when you find that you are fooled, you will cry.
It was a coincidence that the three of them coincided.
"It's noon soon, and I successfully signed the contract, which is also a happy event. Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou have time later? Let's go have a meal together to celebrate?" Wu Qingdong invited with a smile.
Wang Liu and Zhou Zhixiong looked at each other and said cheerfully: "Okay, Mr. Wu invited you last night. I'll invite you later. I'll call Mr. Jiang, and tell him the good news about the signing of the contract."
Wu Qingdong smiled and said, "It's okay to call Mr. Jiang. I'll go and shout, but I'll leave it to me for the treat. Invest in Hechuang, Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou have also helped me. How can I let you pay for it?"
Wang Liu was lazy and argued with him again, nodded and said, "Okay, then you come this time, I will definitely come and invite you next time."
"Okay." Wu Qingdong responded, took out his cell phone and said, "You guys wait a moment, I'll go arrange a hotel now."
...
noon.
In the hotel private room, Wang Liu and Zhou Zhixiong successfully drank the celebration wine invited by Wu Qingdong.
Jiang Chengyu was also invited to come over, and when he met, he gave Wang Liu a good news:
"Mr. Wang, you move fast enough. I just said last night that I would go back and think carefully. Good guy, I just woke up just now and received a call from Qingdong, saying that you have signed all the contracts, and you were teasing me yesterday."
Wang Liuya denies: "Absolutely, I want to think carefully, but after talking to Lao Zhou in the morning, he is very interested. He has always been responsible for the company's business. He feels good, so I let him do it myself. It's not that I want to tease you."
Jiang Chengyu smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, don't worry, you can invest in Hochuang, it can be considered a favor for me. I've recorded the favors. Thank you this time.
In addition, I have good news to tell you. Didn’t I say hello to you yesterday and settle the case as soon as possible?
