In the conference room, the leaders frowned. Some kept reading the newspaper, some kept holding teacups and silent, and some were smoking cigarettes and sniffing.
Finally, the person in charge coughed and said, "Let's talk about it, everyone can speak freely. Tomorrow is the official signing date. Should Jianlibao be sold to Zhang Hai? A result must be discussed today."
"Sell it, it must be sold. Things have been negotiated long ago. The acquisition agreement has been signed and the news has been announced to the public. Can you still regret it at this time?"
"You can't sign, you will make mistakes after signing. From yesterday to now, at least twenty or thirty reporters have come to the hotel. What if Zhang Hai really has problems with his funds?"
"I have consulted a business friend. Zhang Hai's Kaidi Group has a very strong strength and can easily take out 100 million yuan of funds. As for newspapers and the Internet, it must be Li Jingwei's operation behind the scenes. Don't forget that more than a month ago, we planned to sell Jianlibao to Singaporean companies. Li Jingwei also created media and public opinion to destroy it!"
"Yes, the newspapers and the Internet are having a fierce fight this time. It must be Li Jingwei who is secretly making trouble. He just wants to buy Jianlibao himself. He is also staying in the hospital to play some tricks. I have known him for almost 10 years. I don't know his tricks?"
"The problem is how to deal with social opinion?"
"Don't worry about public opinion. We can't just talk about it, right? We must sell it this time, otherwise Li Jingwei will still create such a farce when he finds a new buyer next time he finds a new buyer."
"This time is different! Haven't you read the newspaper? Behind the Kaidi Group is a foreign fund. If we sell Jianlibao to Zhang Hai, any problems will be affected in the future. Those who engage in financial speculation are unreliable. Look at how glorious the Zhongke Group was in the past two years, who don't know about "Mr. K"? Now it's over and the end of the day. Six main culprits were judged in one breath, and "Mr. K" disappeared directly!"
"Lao Liang is very familiar with these things?"
"I can also trade stocks occasionally, but don't get me wrong. I use my own salary to trade stocks, which is a small fuss. As an amateur stock investor, I know that Kaidi is a big dealer. If they control that stock, the stock will rise sharply. I am afraid that after Zhang Hai bought Jianlibao, he will really go public, and then sell it and cash out. In the end, the blame for the mess of China's No. 1 national brand is to be taken by all the leaders here."
"What should I do? I can't sell it to Li Jingwei."
"Yes, I must not sell it to Li Jingwei. If he buys Jianlibao, I will not be the official, nor can I continue to be the one!"
"Yes, Li Jingwei is too domineering. He is the local emperor of Sanshui."
"How about selling it to Wahaha or Xifeng? Didn't Li Jingwei also tell reporters that he would rather sell it to Wahaha and Xifeng than to Zhang Hai?"
"Do you believe his nonsense? He said this just to ruin the transaction. When he turned around, he would definitely not admit it. This time he had to cut the mess quickly. The signing of the contract was a settlement. We have been delaying for a year and we can't drag it down any further."
“…”
After a long discussion, although everyone talked about it, the result was basically achieved, that is, stick to the original plan.
There is a saying that "one slap can't sound" is not absolute, but it makes sense in many cases.
The Sanshui government has a big problem. For example, in order to increase the employment rate, it is stipulated that more than 45% of the formal employees of Jianlibao must be local. This condition is understandable, but the operation space is too large, resulting in a large number of nepotism being inserted, and even having idle meals with positions as middle-level and grassroots cadres.
With Jianlibao's strong financial resources, raising hundreds of idle people is nothing. If it were Song Weiyang, if it were not possible to change the status quo, it would definitely turn bad things into good things, and treat these idle people as a link to deal with local officials well.
But Li Jingwei was inflamed. He didn't take the Sanshui officials seriously, but had to endure such things. So while he was raising idle people, he also publicly expressed his dissatisfaction in various ways, and even lost his temper in front of the officials, which eventually made both sides unhappy.
Li Jingwei was a dictatorial monarchical management, and he smashed tens of millions of dollars at all, without saying hello to anyone.
Regarding this, the Sanshui government was afraid of Li Jingwei's transfer of assets, and even more afraid that Jianlibao would become a private enterprise. So it tried every means to prevent Jianlibao from going public and strengthened the control of Jianlibao's funds, which made Li Jingwei feel that he was being constrained everywhere. The facts proved that the Sanshui government's concerns were indeed very accurate. Li Jingwei wanted to change the nature of the company by listing and really wanted to transfer assets, thus breaking away from the control of the local government.
The conflict gradually intensified, and the Sanshui government also wanted to ease the relationship, but Li Jingwei could not bear it and simply planned to move Jianlibao headquarters to Huadu - this move made both sides break up directly, without any room for negotiation.
In addition, Li Jingwei was indifferent to the leadership and extremely domineering, and many times made these officials lose face, and official conflicts directly evolved into personal grudges.
Historically, Jianlibao was sold to Zhang Hai, and Li Jingwei was so angry that he was hospitalized. The leaders of Sanshui were not willing to give up and directly sued Li Jingwei for transferring assets, corruption, and finally sentenced him to 15 years in prison!
"Raise your hands to vote, if you agree, please raise your hand!"
More than 90% of officials raised their hands immediately.
"Please raise your hand if you object."
None of them raised their hands.
"The rest of the comrades are abstaining from the right, I announce..."
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, and the leader who presided over the meeting frowned and said, "Come in!"
A young man trotted in and muttered in the ear of the meeting host. The latter coughed twice and said, "Cough cough, Mr. Song Weiyang, Chairman of Xifeng, led the negotiation team to Sanshui in person. In addition, dealers from various regions of Jianlibao also came... Well, the agents are on the road outside."
If Shi Yuzhu's awesomeness lies in his core team's ability to remain unchanged after bankruptcy, then Li Jingwei's ability lies in his establishment of the most loyal dealer team in China!
Historically, when they heard that Zhang Hai was driven away by Lao Zhu and wanted to sell Jianlibao, these dealers made incredible actions: they sent a team of representatives to Sanshui to negotiate with the government, asking not to let Jianlibao go bankrupt. If Jianlibao has financial difficulties, the dealers are willing to raise 200 million yuan of cash on their own to help Jianlibao resume production and pay wages.
At that time, Jianlibao was not far from death, and the dealers had good profits. If they hadn't loved this brand deeply, who could have made such a choice?
Of course, for Uni-President Group, Jianlibao's dealers are definitely the most hateful in the world. In order to compete for the market, Jianlibao's dealers often perform all-round martial arts, and when Uni-President dealers are caught, they beat them up in various ways. Even Xifeng's dealers and regional partners have been beaten up.
In the eyes of Jianlibao dealers, other brands of beverages are garbage, only Jianlibao is the best in the world, and they will never change the distribution brand even if they die. Most of the people here started with Jianlibao more than 10 years ago. This brand is both youth and career for them.
I heard that Jianlibao was going to be acquired by other companies, but they said it didn’t matter. It would be fine if they could continue to do it. It doesn’t matter who will be the chairman.
But the current situation is that Zhang Hai was exposed to his true face, and Jianlibao was likely to be killed, and these dealers could no longer sit still. Of course, Song Weiyang and Li Jingwei secretly promoted the fire, which made these dealers quickly gather together and fight with Sanshui to ask for an explanation.
At this moment, Jianlibao dealers who have always liked to use force are sitting quietly on the side of the road in a very civilized way. They do not make noise or yell slogans, but they hold various banners:
"Strongly oppose selling Jianlibao at a low price!"
"Swear to live and die with Jianlibao!"
"China's first national brand cannot be controlled by foreign capital!"
There were many reporters taking photos next to him. A dealer said to the reporter excitedly: "I started acting in 1985. Jianlibao is the pride of the Chinese nation and the first to advertise to the American Empire State Building. Jianlibao made me a ten-thousand-ten-money household and made me a millionaire. I am grateful to Jianlibao! I can't watch Jianlibao become a brand controlled by foreign capital, and cannot make the pride of the Chinese nation a tool for bankers to harvest investors! When I think of Jianlibao's future boss with foreign capital support, how can you let me drink it? As long as Sanshui sells Jianlibao to Zhang Hai, I will choose to quit and will never act in Jianlibao again!"
"Yes, as long as Zhang Hai buys Jianlibao, we dealers will not do it!" The old buddies next to us agreed.
The reporter was deeply moved. He had already made a statement: "Jianlibao has such a loyal distribution team, why did it fall to its current level? In fact, according to the reporter's understanding, Jianlibao's financial situation has always been very healthy, and is healthier than most companies today. If the local government and enterprise managers can work together, Jianlibao will definitely be able to reappear..."
Jianlibao's financial situation is indeed healthy, and even surpasses Wahaha from a certain perspective. As long as those projects that Li Jingwei was messing around and Song Weiyang bought it, he did not have to mobilize financial support from Xifeng. Jianlibao itself can continue to produce blood and develop.
...
Hospital, downstairs of the inpatient department.
The moment Song Weiyang got out of the car, at least 30 reporters gathered around to interview, as if these reporters were not invited by Xifeng, but came by himself, and happened to meet Song Weiyang by chance.
"Boss Song, are you here to visit Mr. Li?" asked a reporter.
Song Weiyang's expression was serious and sad: "Yes, Mr. Li and I are good friends. Last year, Sanshui wanted to sell Jianlibao to Xifeng. It was because of my personal relationship with Mr. Li that I chose to give up the acquisition plan. Two days ago, I heard that Mr. Li was hospitalized, so I came to express my condolences in person to see if there is any place to help."
Another reporter asked: "Will Xifeng invest in helping Jianlibao solve the difficulties?"
Song Weiyang shook his head and said, "There is no problem with Jianlibao's funds, so Xifeng doesn't need Xifeng's help at all. The real problem is a government-enterprise conflict. In the late 2000, when I attended the APEC CEO Summit in Brunei, there was a group topic about how to deal with ****. This is a very big business topic, not only in China, but also in all countries around the world. As an entrepreneur, I attach great importance to this issue, and Xifeng will also learn from it and develop good relations with local governments."
"Will Xifeng acquire Jianlibao?" another reporter asked.
Song Weiyang said with a high voice: "Mr. Li and I are good friends. If Xifeng comes forward to acquire it now, it is obviously suspected of taking advantage of others' danger. From a personal perspective, I hope Mr. Li can continue to lead Jianlibao further, and I also hope that Xifeng and Jianlibao can jointly support the future of the Chinese national beverage brand."
The reporter asked: "So, won't Xifeng acquire Jianlibao?"
Song Weiyang smiled and shook his head again: "This time I came to Sanshui. In addition to visiting Mr. Li who was hospitalized, I also received a call from Mr. Li. Mr. Li told me on the phone that Jianlibao is his child, a child who has been raising for 18 years. Even if I want to give the child away, I have to give it to someone I can trust and find a adoptive father worth entrusting for the child."
"So Xifeng still wants to acquire Jianlibao?" asked the reporter.
Song Weiyang said: "It depends on the intention of the Sanshui government. After all, the Sanshui government owns 75% of Jianlibao's equity. I hope to adjust the conflicts between all parties as much as possible. If the conflict between the Sanshui government and President Li can be resolved, then Xifeng is willing to withdraw and let President Li continue to lead Jianlibao's healthy development."
"Then what do you think of Kaidi Group and Zhang Hai?" the reporter asked again.
Song Weiyang frowned and said, "After the disintegration of the China Science and Technology Department, the Kaidi Department and the Delong Department are recognized as two major Chinese stock market makers. I should not comment on their operation methods, nor do they discriminate or slander. After all, the financial industry can also promote the development of industry and commerce. But from my only financial knowledge, I have to remind Mr. Zhang Hai that his series of actions are very dangerous and the capital chain may collapse at any time. Many people know that the current stock market environment is not good, and no matter how exquisite the financial operation methods are, it is impossible to make funds and profits come into being."
The reporter asked quickly: "Mr. Song, you are a recognized stock god in mainland China and Hong Kong City. How long do you think this big bear market will last? China has just joined WTO, can it lift the stock market and reverse the current situation?"
"Personal opinion is purely personal opinion. What I said below is for reference only," Song Weiyang repeatedly emphasized, "China's joining WTO will make China's economy take off and industry and commerce will prosper rapidly. But the more this happens, the stock market will become more and more dismal, because China's stock market is not sound, and there is no necessary relationship between the economy and the stock market rise and fall. After joining WTO, China's hot money will flow into the manufacturing industry, real estate and infrastructure, and the stock market will become more and more deserted. My advice to all investors is that when house prices suddenly fall and when manufacturing development slows down, then everyone can enter the stock market."
Song Weiyang and the reporter asked and called, and a large group of people soon arrived at the ward.
"Brother Li, I feel wronged!" Song Weiyang quickly walked to the edge of the hospital bed, holding Li Jingwei's hand and sighed.
Li Jingwei was really wronged. Not only was he wronged in the Sanshui government, but he was also wronged because he had to act with Song Weiyang, a young young man. He was one of the most glorious entrepreneurs in China back then. Hu Luo Pingyang was bullied by various dogs! Li Jingwei burst into tears and said half-truly and half-fakely: "It's good that you come, it's good that you come!"
The ward was filled with reporters, and some even stood in the aisle outside. In the eyes of these reporters, the scene now felt like the scene was entrusted by the uncle Liu Baidicheng...
