1413 [I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry]
"Mr. Xia, I really envy you. I enjoy the happiness of riding on a yacht. It is hard for me to run thirty-eight listed companies in a day. I am as tired as a dog, and I am still rolling my eyes." Liang Botao complained to Xia Tian.
Xia Tianming did not attend the interim board of directors, but instead sent him as a representative. As a result, the shareholders who were stolen from the company were angry, but they could not see Xia Tian, the "real murderer", so they spread all their anger on him.
Every time Liang Botao goes to a company, he is inevitably scolded, rolled his eyes, and even almost beaten, making him feel like he is a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats him.
"Botao, you suffered this time." Xia Tian nodded, "I will remember your contribution. I will reward you with merits in the future and I will guarantee that you will not be wronged."
"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Liang Botao smiled happily, then looked down and said solemnly to Xia Tian, "But those companies we have acquired are indeed quite resistant to us. It seems not easy to reorganize and reorganize them and digest them."
Although Xia Tian now holds more than half of the 38 listed companies and has absolute controlling stake, this does not mean that he will do whatever he says in the company and do whatever he wants.
After all, the company has other shareholders and other directors. If they unite and fight against Xia Tian, it will cause him a lot of trouble.
Because of listed companies, many things require the approval of two-thirds of shareholders of the shareholders' meeting. Xia Tian only has half of the shares, which is not enough to make him do whatever he wants.
"I understand." Xia Tian nodded.
He knew that the acquisition of these listed companies was only the first step in the Long March of 25,000 miles. Whether these listed companies can be successfully digested, absorbed, integrated and reorganized in the future is the most test of his wisdom.
...
Acquisition is a shortcut to entrepreneurship, just like picking fruits is a wonderful way to cultivate. There have always been many businessmen in the business world who are keen on acquisitions, such as Liu Luanxiong, Zuckerberg, and Huang Yulang, but not everyone can benefit from it.
Liu Luanxiong is engaged in acquisitions, mainly sniping. It is best to be able to acquire them, even if they cannot succeed, they can still make profits from it. Zuckerberg successively acquired the instant messaging tool WhatsApp, the image sharing application Instagram, and the virtual reality platform Oculus VR, and even wanted to use the photo sharing application SNAPCHAT.
These companies are potential competitors of FACEBOOK. After acquiring them, they can not only acquire their talents, but also strangle competitors into the bud, killing two birds with one stone;
Huang Yulang's acquisition is like a nouveau riche, with money being smashed, eaten alive, and eating without choice. The newspapers, magazines, etc. he acquired cannot be effectively digested and absorbed. Once the market is in a downturn, it may become a burden to him.
Just like now, Huang Yulang is in great trouble. As mentioned earlier, after Huang Yulang listed the company last year (in 1986), he made a lot of money to raise funds and started to acquire crazy acquisitions with the money raised, and took all of the "Tiantian Daily", "Sing Chew Daily", "Youth" magazine, etc. one by one.
In just one year, Huang Yulang has grown into a newspaper tycoon worth 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, comparable to Jin Yong, Hu Xianer and Ma Chengkun (Oriental Daily). He even got involved in the film and television industry and sponsored Zeng Zhiwei to establish his good friend film company, hoping to become a film tycoon like summer.
However, now when the stock market crash comes, Huang Yulang is in great trouble. His stocks have depreciated sharply and his wealth has shrunk significantly. He used to pledge stock loans to acquire stocks and trade stocks, but now the stock price falls, the bank immediately forces him to repay the loan, otherwise he will sell the pledged stocks.
If the bank really does that, then Huang Yulang will be in trouble. Years of struggle will be a small matter, and it is not impossible to go bankrupt overnight. So Huang Yulang has been in trouble these days.
...
"Botao, according to my opinion, there is no need to rush to integrate the matter. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Xia Tian thought for a while, "It's better to go slowly and follow the steps. Anyway, time is on our side."
"It would be best if Mr. Xia could think like this, and I thought this way, too." Liang Botao said with a smile when he heard this.
The so-called sparrow is small and has all the internal organs. Those listed companies, regardless of their market value, have a large group of things. If they blindly integrate, they will not only not benefit, but will suffer heavy losses, which is not without precedent.
For example, Sony, mentioned earlier, acquired Columbia Pictures, hoping to make up for its shortcomings in "software". As a result, not only did he behaved as a Kelly spent more than one billion dollars during the acquisition, but he also lost 3.1 billion dollars in the subsequent operation process.
Liang Botao was worried that summer was young and energetic, and with the successful acquisition of 38 listed companies, he would inevitably be satisfied and carried away. When integrating these listed companies, he was careless, greedy for success, and eager to achieve success, which led to serious consequences.
What made him feel relieved was that Xia Tian was not complacent at all, but was cautious and cautious, and he couldn't help but admire him.
"Well, it seems that we are heroes who have similar views." Xia Tian smiled, "In my opinion, knowing yourself and your enemy will be successful. If you want to complete the integration, you must have some understanding of these companies. You should also unite all forces and win over our allies. In this way, our promotion of restructuring will undoubtedly reduce a lot of resistance."
"Mr. Xia is right. I suggest sending a working group to each listed company to supervise the company's operations and avoid our losses; on the other hand, it conducts investigations on the company to make us understand the company better." Liang Botao nodded.
"Well, I think this too, too." Xia Tian smiled.
He still retains the positions of senior executives of these listed companies and has not changed his own.
On the one hand, it is to avoid causing chaos, delaying the company's operations, and causing losses to yourself. After all, listed companies are busy with business, and delaying for a day may result in losses of millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, so you cannot be in a hurry;
On the one hand, he just wanted to take over, but he didn't have so many talents. After all, even if each of the thirty-eight listed companies sent ten people to receive them, they still needed 380 talents. So many talents are there to Xia Tian.
So his approach is to let the former company executives retain all the employees, and at the same time send a few people to watch, on the one hand, supervise and avoid their own losses; on the other hand, investigate and distinguish who is enemies and who is friends; on the other hand, learn to facilitate the future takeover.
The idea of summer is that everyone wants high officials and generous salaries. They are loyal to the "former dynasty", do not eat Zhou grain, insist on integrity, make trouble, and destroy only a few "loyal ministers".
Although the company's shareholders, directors, and executives are very resistant to them, those middle and lower-level employees may not care about who is in charge. Therefore, they may not necessarily exclude themselves, and they may even have smart people who seize the opportunity to serve them. In that case, they will use talents, and they are also talents who are familiar with the operation of the original company, which is suitable for them to support them.
However, it takes a certain amount of time to wait for talents to come to work. Before that, the former executives can only manage it first and then send a working group to supervise it.
"That's it." Xia Tian nodded, "First send a working group to the company, then slowly penetrate and gradually take over these companies."
Although the team of 380 people cannot be gathered, it is not difficult to get a team of 1 or 200 people. After all, Wenhe Group is a super consortium and has many talents.
"Okay." Liang Botao nodded.
"Ah, by the way, other companies will handle this. However, UOB and Lixin Group are not good, and executives must all be beaten up." Xia Tian suddenly said again.
The senior executives of UOB are all the Li family and their trusted old ministers; the senior executives of Lixin Group are also all the Lin family and their trusted old ministers.
Xia Tian has a grudge against these two families, so of course he doesn't want them to continue to occupy a high position, control the company's power, and pay a considerable salary.
Liang Botao was stunned, then nodded with a smile.
He had long heard of Xia Tian’s grudges with these two families, so he was not surprised at all when he saw Xia Tian doing this.
"Okay, go and do it." Xia Tian waved his hand again.
