Chapter 1622 The highest market value shares
Elskin left the hotel where Zhou Ming stayed with a serious expression. As for him, he was very reluctant to Zhou Ming control the company's core equity and just planned to use Zhou Ming's investment to survive the crisis.
After all, Elskin also has his own pride. He feels that no matter how bad his relationship with shareholders like Hunter is, it is still a matter of Harvey. However, if he wants to sell the company to someone else, he is still a Chinese and let a Chinese be his boss, this is something Elskin can't accept.
It was precisely this idea. When Zhou Ming proposed to ask for core equity, although Elskin did not directly refuse, he politely stated that he could not make such a decision. After all, he still needed Zhou Ming's investment to save him now, so he could not refuse directly, so he could only make a scene.
But Elskin didn't expect that his persistence would soon encounter a challenge.
When he returned to Harvey's company, the secretary told him that Hunter had held another high-level meeting and when Elskin arrived at the conference room, he was greeted with another round of impeachment.
Hunter directly called Elskin a shame for Harvey at the conference, saying that Harvey did not need a president who bowed to the Chinese.
The union workers seemed to have achieved alliances with capitalists at this moment. After they returned to the factory, they kept telling other workers about the situation at the airport, telling them that Elskin was preparing to sell the company to Chinese, and they also said that Chinese people had no money at all, and once they were sold to those people, they would probably be allowed to eat rats raw.
This aroused strong indignation among the workers, and even when Elskin returned to the factory, workers threw rotten eggs at him.
Elskin angrily accused Hunter of harming Harvey: "Now the company is facing a serious financial crisis, I am helping the company find new investments! If you, Mr. Hunter, can increase your investment in the company, just take out one million dollars, I will immediately let Mr. Zhou Ming leave Houston!"
But Hunter said in a hurry why he should get the money?
He said that the situation in Harvey's company is all caused by Elskin, so he should find a way to solve it. How can he put the blame on himself?
As for whom Chinese is an investor? This is even nonsense. Even Cuban workers in the assembly workshop know that Chinese are poor people. They just deceive and lie and can't afford to pay. Hunter even said that if he could really give out the money, he wouldn't mind selling all his shares to him.
The Financial Director also added that he could also add his shares.
It can be said that the entire meeting has become a battlefield for the struggle between President Elskin and Major Shareholder Hunter. Others either watch the show or stand on Hunter's side to criticize Elskin. Even Chairman Komney is the same. Even Elskin suspects that his struggle with Hunter was instigated by Komney behind his back.
Elskin feels that he has worked in Harvey for more than 20 years and has helped Harvey firmly settle in the position of a world-class machine tool factory. Now you are going to kill the donkey? You will never be cheap!
Since you are so ill-telling, don't blame yourself.
This meeting also made Elskin finally make up his mind. He openly asked Hunter at the meeting: "Mr. Hunter, if Mr. Zhou Ming is really willing to invest in Harvey, I hope you can fulfill your promise and sell your shares!"
Hunter said there was no problem at all. He didn't think a beggar could afford the sword in the hands of the emperor.
After the meeting ended, Elskin immediately left the conference room, and he didn't want to see these ugly faces for a minute.
In the evening, Elskin went to Zhou Ming again overnight. He said that he could make the decision to give Zhou Ming a core equity, but Zhou Ming needed to discuss this himself.
"In the face of this crisis, Harvey has shareholders to leave, so if you need it, you can buy the equity in his hands if you need it." Elskin also said, "Of course you need to pay him enough money, you also need to invest some money in Harvey."
Zhou Ming nodded without hesitation and said there was no problem.
This made Elskin overjoyed. He was worried that it was a bit difficult to convince Zhou Ming, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and direct.
So Elskin and Zhou Ming agreed to go to Harvey to discuss relevant investment agreements tomorrow.
Zhou Ming agreed readily, but Li Hua was very confused. After Elskin left, he asked Zhou Ming why he agreed like this: "Boss Zhou, you came to invest to help them, but now this guy actually asked you not only pay for the shares, but also pay for the investment. Isn't this bullying?"
Zhou Ming smiled and said that if it really succeeded in the end, he wouldn't really take this amount of money. You should know that this is Harvey, a world-class machine tool company. In twenty years, even if the Chinese have more money, they will not be able to buy this share.
After all, if you spend this money, you can ignore the Americans' expression in the future. No matter how much you spend, it will be worth it.
Zhou Ming finally said: "Besides, we may not necessarily pay this money."
...
The next morning, Elskin sent someone to welcome Zhou Ming and Li Hua and others to the Harvey Factory.
Due to yesterday's airport incident, Elskin did not hold any welcome activities this time, but took Zhou Ming and Li Hua to visit the factory directly.
In fact, this step can be omitted. After all, Harvey's machine tools are well-known, and Zhou Ming's investment is for these high-end and advanced CNC machine tools. However, since Elskin has this interest, Zhou Ming doesn't mind taking a look.
Of course, this is just to be polite. In fact, Zhou Ming not only asked Li Hua to come, but also brought him several top engineers, just to see the manufacturing model of these CNC machine tools and see if he could learn something to copy. Even if Harvey does not open up any core content, the knowledge of the increase is good.
Later, Elskin did do this. Although he brought Zhou Ming and the others into the workshop, he just blindly introduced and promoted how advanced their technology was. The machine tools he made were used to specialize in processing spacecraft and could be very exquisite. Every year, the Space Administration and other relevant units would order a large number of related machine tools from them, and they could make billions of dollars in profits every year.
Zhou Ming could only listen to these words casually. It was a very simple truth. If Harvey was really as good as Elskin said, how could he fall to the point of investing on his own?
This is not to say that Harvey is not profitable. In fact, he is very profitable. It is just that the profit cycle is relatively long, not as simple as Elskin said.
But since Elskin wants to introduce this, just listen to it like this.
After visiting the factory, Elskin took Zhou Ming back to the office building. Hunter and other senior executives of the company were already waiting here. Zhou Ming also understood that this was his weight today
The first show.
At the meeting, Elskin first re-introduced Zhou Ming's identity. After Zhou Ming's reminder, this time he did not add any prefixes such as "owner of Far East Wealth" and "Prince of the Ancient Empire" that hit the spotlight for the second time. He only introduced Zhou Ming's relationship with the Tang family in San Francisco, as well as the relationship with wealthy families such as Morgan Rockefeller, as well as the financial support behind the Fubei system, etc.
In short, I just tell everyone: Mr. Zhou Ming is very rich!
However, Elskin's painstaking efforts did not receive any support. On the contrary, when Elskin finished speaking, the company's finance department took the lead in attacking Elskin, saying that this time, Harvey's company spent more than 50,000 US dollars in total, and hoped that Mr. Zhou Ming could settle the account.
This is undoubtedly a provocation to Zhou Ming and Elskin. You must know that Zhou Ming is an investor who Elskin invited to visit the company. Why do you, a financial officer, dare to speak like this?
Moreover, the company's reception fee actually reached out to the person being received, which is too shameless.
But these guys are not ashamed but proud.
Elskin slammed the table angrily and was about to scold him, but Zhou Ming stood up first: "Okay, isn't it just a 50,000 US dollars in reception fee? This is too simple, and I am very happy to take out the money. After all, when I was in New York, I met a homeless beggar member or a bitch from some special professions. I was happy to give me more tips, just at this moment."
The financial director, who was very elegant just now, was immediately broken when he heard Zhou Ming's words and angrily criticized Zhou Ming for calling someone who was calling him.
Zhou Ming was very dissatisfied with accusing the financial director of this attitude and wanting to ask for tips.
The financial director was going to curse, but was stopped by Hunter. Hunter thought he was too poor and would only embarrass him.
Then Hunter faced Zhou Ming and asked Zhou Ming if he really wanted to take care of Harvey's company. Zhou Ming was surprised to state the fact that he was just here to invest.
Hunter didn't ask any more questions now. He told Zhou Ming directly: "In principle, Harvey's company no longer accepts foreign investment, and will not allow outsiders to hold shares. However, Mr. Zhou Ming now has an opportunity to buy stocks from me, but it is not calculated based on the current market value, but on the highest market value of Harvey a month ago..."
Zhou Ming glanced at Elskin and it seemed that this was what the president said, "can make a decision to sell equity."
Elskin was embarrassed by Zhou Ming's view, so he shifted the finger to Hunter and accused Hunter of proposing a very unreasonable plan. How could he calculate it based on the peak of market value in the past?
But Hunter didn't care about so much, just sat there arrogantly, saying that he only had this plan now, saying that Harvey's leading company in CNC machine tools, and it is understandable to put forward such conditions.
Not only Hunter, but also the financial director who was criticized by Zhou Ming just now jumped out and said that his shares could be added and calculated based on the highest market value.
Looking at the performance of the two of them, Zhou Ming smiled at the time: "It seems that you have already calculated it and think that I cannot agree to this plan, so did you deliberately provoke it?"
Although Hunter and the others did not answer, the more arrogant expression on their faces said everything.
"All right."
Zhou Ming said: "If this is the condition for selling your equity, I can accept it."
