Chapter 181
He thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it again, and I'll talk about it in a few days."
He will not be able to decide such a big thing for a while, and he agrees and has to ask other shareholders for their opinions, because Hongxin's investment will definitely dilute their shareholding share.
Su Xu thought about it alone for a long time, and it seemed that what Su Zhirong said made sense. Until midnight, he was thinking about this question over and over again.
Ye Rui asked, "What are you thinking about if you don't sleep so late?"
Su Xu briefly told his wife about the matter, and Ye Rui smiled and said, "You are confused. Let's look at it from an objective perspective. If Hongxin invests in Leiyu Home Appliances, is it a good or a bad thing?"
"Of course it's a good thing!" Su Xu said, "Hongxin's capital and resources are all what we need. Now Leiyu home appliances are not as good as the top and the bottom, and they can only fight price wars with those low-end brands, with low profits."
"If we can enter the high-end smart home field, then we have a future. Unfortunately, how could capital invest in us? We have invested in those big brands."
Ye Rui smiled and said, "You have already analyzed the objective angle, and I will help you analyze it from a subjective angle."
"You want to do smart homes, right?"
"Yes." Su Xu nodded.
"Then, other shareholders of the company felt that they invested a lot of R&D funds and there was no obvious visible return. So they wanted to continue to maintain their current state, which was different from your business philosophy, but you couldn't convince them."
"If Hongxin invested in your company, he gained the right to speak. Think about it, who made the decision in the company at that time? Lu Zixin was your son-in-law at least, and his business philosophy was the same as you. At that time, the company was not decided by you? Those shareholders would never affect you anymore."
"Huh... it makes sense!" Su Xu reacted.
"So, this is simple. Both objective and subjective are beneficial. Why do you want to do so much? It will be done if you make this happen! Are you still afraid that our daughter will be joking with you?" Ye Rui said.
"Yes, my mind was really too twitchy just now!" Su Xu thought it through and smiled: "It's still my wife who can see it clearly."
"Okay, go to bed, think about other things tomorrow."
...
Su Xu agreed to Lu Zixin's proposal, and the next step was to convince other shareholders of the company.
In addition to the scattered stocks, there are nine other shareholders who account for more than 5% of the shares. All of these eleven people are the company's management, including three of whom are Su Xu, who holds 12.3% of the shares, and Cai Yun, another deputy general manager of the company, who holds 14.5% of the shares.
The remaining largest shareholder, Lei Yu Home Appliances, is currently in charge of CEO Nie Guanglin, accounting for 18% of the shares.
Basically, as long as the three of them, or most of the nine, agree to a decision, the matter will be decided.
Su Xu has always been decisive in his work. He couldn't wait for the New Year to find Cai Yun and Nie Guanglin.
Nie Guanglin is over fifty years older than Su Xu this year. It was him who started his business in Jiangcheng together and then established himself in the Magic City.
In the office, Nie Guanglin said helplessly: "Lao Su, now the New Year is the New Year, and people are very busy with the world. If you call us here, what important things are there?"
Cai Yun guessed: "Isn't it about your smart speaker again?"
"Oh, there is no need to mention this!" Nie Guanglin said, "Everyone has discussed it before. The investment and return are not proportional to the return. The project must be cut, and it is useless to tell us."
However, this time, Su Xu did not look disappointed as before, but said: "No, the smart speaker is ready."
"Is it done?" the two of them said in surprise.
"You can come and experience it." Su Xu brought the two of them with the experimental room of smart home and let them experience the functions of the latest version of smart speakers.
The two of them immediately showed joy and said, "That's great. Our smart speakers are more useful than Jingdong's Dingdong speakers and Tmall Elf."
"This project was not in vain. Lao Su, congratulations, you have successfully developed it!"
Nie Guanglin even smiled and said, "Now the company has another home appliance product, which is your credit! When the meeting is held after the New Year, I will announce this to the whole company!"
"This is actually not just a product of our company." Su Xu's words puzzled the two.
"What's the meaning?"
"The voice interaction system of this latest smart speaker has been improved by Hongxin Company. Some important high-tech sensors also come from Hongxin Company." The more Su Xu explained, the more confused the two of them were.
"Hongxin? Why is this related to Hongxin? Our company has not cooperated with them?"
Su Xu explained briefly and said, "Hongxin Company wants to invest in us and jointly develop the smart home field."
"We welcome investment, but they want to become the largest shareholder..." Nie Guanglin frowned, "Isn't this asking us to run the company for them?"
Su Xu explained: "They will not interfere in the business of the main body for the time being. However, the business direction will require them to go to the field of smart homes. They have investment and technical strength, so we will not suffer any losses!"
Cai Yun thought for a while and nodded, "On the surface, he did not suffer any losses, and he even took a big advantage!"
"But I'm afraid that Hongxin Company's business philosophy is different from ours, and it re-arranges its management and business methods."
Su Xu said: "Our company has not seen any performance growth in several years, maybe it is a change."
Nie Guanglin did not express his opinion, and he knew very well. If Hongxin invested in Leiyu Home Appliances, the stocks in each of their shareholders would become more valuable. The company might also have better development opportunities.
But the most important point is that the company will be out of his control and be included in the Hongxin Group in the future. He is reluctant to leave this position of CEO. Although he is not a leader of an institution, as the top leader of a company, he can also enjoy some of the pleasure brought by his status.
"Old Cai, what do you think?" Nie Guanglin asked Cai Yun.
Cai Yun was actually very happy in his heart. No matter who controls the overall situation, he would use it. Moreover, his wealth would also increase.
So Cai Yun said tactfully: "I think I can talk to Hongxin, but the conditions must be studied again."
"I have to consider this matter," said Nie Guanglin. "I will discuss it when the year is over."
Nie Guanglin couldn't make a decision for the moment, and the same was true for other shareholders. Those pure investors naturally hoped that Hongxin would join the market. But if they were in the management of Leiyu Home Appliances, they were a little hesitant, afraid that Hongxin's position would change after joining the company, so they were all waiting and discussing with each other.
