"Master, does your family run a hotel?" Zhang Jun asked.
Yang Chen remained calm and replied: "My brother owns a restaurant, and I run online car-hailing services."
Zhang Jun: "Oh, who did you call just now?"
Yang Chen: "Oh, a boss who sells aquatic products."
Zhang Jun: "Why, don't you have a supplier to cooperate with? Do you still need to find one temporarily?"
Yang Chen: "Haha... I met a seller by accident."
……
Zhang Jun kept testing, but Yang Chen always deliberately held back, and he didn't find out anything substantial until they got off the bus.
Yu Shishi has arranged everything, and the owner of Dongyuan Restaurant will perform a play.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Chen came to Dongyuan Restaurant and met with Yang Chen.
Dongyuan Restaurant owner Yang Le acted in a play with Yang Chen and successfully deceived Chen Chen.
Chen Chen immediately called and asked someone to deliver 5 groupers and 10 wave dragons. They would give them to Dongyuan Restaurant to test the water first. If the sales were okay, he would give more later.
Chen Chen left Dongyuan Restaurant and met Zhang Jun two streets away.
Zhang Jun asked: "Are you sure there is no problem?"
Chen Chen: "Don't worry, it's no problem. Let's test the water for them first, and then we'll see if we can increase supply."
Zhang Jun: "Yeah. Be careful in everything you do. Don't blindly add customers just to make money. Do you understand?"
Chen Chen: "Brother, don't you worry about what I'm doing? Let's go wash your feet and find a girl on the way."
Zhang Jun: "Haha... let's go."
Dongyuan Restaurant.
Boss Yang Le asked: "How to deal with these things?"
Yang Chen: "I will make two fish and four lobsters at noon tomorrow, divide them into two portions, and give them to Binjiang Villa No. 1 and Villa No. 8. Just say it is from Yang Chen. The rest will be given to the boss, so that's it.
I thank my boss for his help."
Yang Le: "Haha... OK! Then I'll thank Boss Yang first."
Yang Chen: "No thanks. You call Chen Chen after get off work tomorrow night and ask him to continue delivering the goods. So I will bear the cost, you can just ask for it."
Yang Le: "Okay! I understand. What about the goods that are coming?"
Yang Chen: "Not necessarily, it will depend on the situation at that time."
Yang Le: "Okay!"
……
After returning home, Yang Chen called Li Baoqing.
Li Baoqing: "Haha... Why did Mr. Yang call so late?"
Yang Chen: "That's right, I have a friend who ordered a grouper and wave dragon at Baoqing Restaurant today. He thought the taste was wrong. I asked him what was wrong, and he said the taste was wrong, and he suspected that what we were selling was not purely wild.
Grouper and Bolong. I didn’t think he would joke with me about this kind of thing, so I called Director Li to find out about the situation. I usually don’t ask about the company’s management and operations, I just wait for more money to be distributed at the end of the year. But if
If someone harms the company's interests and embezzles my dividends, then I don't agree with it. I want to know who the company's purchasing department manager is, but he is unreliable!"
Li Baoqing: "Ah? Is there such a thing? It's impossible. Does your friend eat it often? Does it feel wrong? The manager of the company's purchasing department is my brother-in-law Zhang Jun. I can guarantee Mr. Yang that there will definitely be no problem.
."
Yang Chen: "That's good. Maybe my friend ate the wrong food. It's getting late, so I won't disturb Director Li's rest. I'll hang up."
Li Baoqing: "Okay! Good night, Mr. Yang."
Yang Chen has already reminded Li Baoqing that if Chen Chen continues to deliver goods tomorrow, it means that Li Baoqing is protecting Zhang Jun, and then Yang Chen will take serious action.
……
Li Baoqing's family.
"Ajuan, please call Xiaojun and tell him to calm down recently. Just now, the second shareholder called and said that his friend ate grouper and dragonfly in our restaurant today and they were not wild. He asked me who is the purchasing manager.
.If you tell Xiaojun to stop messing around, you have already aroused the suspicion of the second shareholder." Li Baoqing said.
Zhang Juan: "Xiaojun is getting married soon. The woman wants to buy a new house, a car, and a gift of 500,000 yuan. My parents definitely can't afford so much, so I'll give it to him. You don't want to. Then you
He said he didn't know how to use his brain, how could he get so much money to marry a wife?"
Li Baoqing: "But now the second shareholder has become suspicious. If he doesn't restrain himself, something may happen to Xiaojun. I've tried my best to turn a blind eye, but you can't allow him to continue to act like this."
Zhang Juan: "The company will be listed soon. We will cash out and leave. Why do you care so much? The second shareholder is too, mind your own business! Aren't there several capitals that want to invest in us? Otherwise, we will accept their offer
Invest and reduce the equity proportion of the second shareholder. How about it? You only have 35% of the equity, but he has 32%. Your position as the major shareholder is not stable. As long as the second shareholder spends a lot of money to buy some more equity from other shareholders
, you are not the major shareholder anymore, we have to join forces to suppress him. Do you think this is really good?"
Li Baoqing felt that what his wife said was reasonable. Yang Chen was indeed the best second shareholder. He never asked about the company's affairs and only wanted to pay him dividends.
The problem is that his equity ratio is too high. There is really no difference between 32% and 35%. As long as Yang Chen is willing to spend more money, he can really buy the equity from other shareholders. Li Baoqing's position as the major shareholder is not guaranteed.
.
After careful consideration, Li Baoqing said: "Okay! I also think his shareholding ratio is too high and should be reduced. But Xiaojun must also restrain himself quickly."
Zhang Juan: "Oh, I know."
After all, these two people have little cultural background and relied on dishonorable means to make their fortunes. They know that they cannot make the company develop better, so it is safer to cash out and leave as soon as possible.
In fact, this is also a wise choice. It is better than many listed companies eventually losing money and delisting. At that time, the boss can't leave even if he wants to cash out.
Early in the morning, Yang Chen had just dropped off two passengers when he received a call from the secretary of the board of directors of Baoqing Hotel Group, inviting him to hold a shareholders' meeting in the conference room of the group headquarters at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
Yang Chen thought that maybe Li Baoqing wanted to clean up the family, so he happily agreed.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Chen brought grouper and wave dragon as usual.
Yang Chen was stunned when he received Yang Le's call.
Li Baoqing What does this mean?
Do you absolutely believe that your brother-in-law is reliable, or do you let it go?
No matter what, Yang Chen has already collected the evidence, and we will see how Li Baoqing and his wife perform at the shareholders' meeting tomorrow.
Baoqing Hotel Headquarters Conference Room, Shareholders Meeting Site.
Li Baoqing and his wife proposed to absorb capital injections from four companies, but their equity would remain unchanged and the equity of other shareholders would be diluted.
Other shareholders will definitely not do this, and they will not play like this.
In order to compensate other shareholders, Li Baoqing said that he would use half of the funds to compensate them according to their equity proportion, and the remaining money will be used to expand stores, etc.
In addition, the couple will also invest some symbolic funds into the company, but the specific amount depends on their intentions.
What a wonderful use of the word symbolic. They can give as much as they want?
When the number of stores increases and performance improves, the market value of the company will increase after it goes public, and the equity in everyone's hands will be more valuable. By then, everyone will be able to make a lot of money by cashing out.
Except for Yang Chen, the proportion of equity held by other shareholders is very small. They can hardly influence the company's decision-making and other issues. Their only hope is to cash out and leave after the company goes public.
Therefore, after some persuasion by Li Baoqing and his wife, other small shareholders also acquiesced to this plan.
The only thing missing now is that Yang Chen didn't express his stance.
To put it bluntly, if you play this way, it will not have much impact on other small shareholders.
They have no right to speak in the first place, and they only want to go public to cash out. This does not affect them.
But Yang Chen is different.
Yes, he usually doesn't care about the company's business decisions, but that's because he doesn't want to care about it voluntarily, not because he's not qualified to care about it.
But once his equity is diluted, he really has no right to manage it.
"There are two different things if you don't have a sword in your hand and if you don't use it."
If you want to dilute Yang Chen's equity and take away the sword in his hand in the name of absorbing capital injection, Yang Chen won't agree to it!
Li Baoqing smiled and asked: "Mr. Yang, what do you mean?"
Yang Chen: "Of course I don't agree! Either your equity will be reduced in proportion to my equity, or our equity ratio will remain the same. I will not accept your plan to keep your equity unchanged and my equity to become smaller.
You just want to keep your shareholding ratio unchanged by taking some symbolic money, so can I take some symbolic money and keep my shareholding unchanged?"
The smile on Li Baoqing's face gradually disappeared.
Zhang Juan sneered and said: "Mr. Yang, you have to be clear about your identity. You are only a second shareholder holding 32% of the shares. As long as our other shareholders are willing, you have to be willing. The hotel was founded by our husband and wife.
, we are doing it slowly, and our equity must keep the bottom line of 51%. You don’t understand this, right? Besides, we are not letting you be diluted in vain, but we will give you cash compensation.”
..
Yang Chen: "I don't want cash compensation. I also want to wait to cash out after the company goes public. How much is the compensation now? I can cash out at least ten times more after going public. Why should I accept your plan?"
Li Baoqing: "You only have 32% of the equity, and there are still 68% of the equity outside. As long as these 68% of the equity agree, it doesn't matter if you disagree. More than two-thirds of the shareholders agree."
Other small shareholders also quickly advised Yang Chen to be more open-minded. Everyone's ultimate goal is to go public and cash out. As long as the money that can be cashed out in the end will not be reduced, why care about the amount of equity?
Yang Chen's attitude was very firm, saying: "No matter what you say, I don't agree with it anyway!"
Li Baoqing laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, let's vote by a show of hands. Shareholders who agree with the plan I just proposed please raise their hands."
Not surprisingly, except for Yang Chen, other shareholders raised their hands in favor.
Li Baoqing: "Haha... Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, 68% of the shares agree, more than two-thirds, the proposal is passed."
Yang Chen said nothing.
Zhang Juan: "Haha... We will hold the 20th anniversary of the founding of Baoqing Hotel in the auditorium of the headquarters on Friday night. By the way, we will invite representatives from the four institutions that want to inject capital to participate. You are shareholders, so you must be there. Is that okay?" Other shareholders smiled and nodded, saying that it was no problem and they would definitely be there in person.
Yang Chen still didn’t speak.
Li Baoqing: "Mr. Yang, what do you say?"
Yang Chen: "I am a shareholder, so of course I have to be there. I will definitely send a big gift to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Baoqing Hotel!"
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
Li Baoqing and Zhang Juan were secretly happy that they could dilute Yang Chen's equity so easily, keep their equity unchanged, and share the money injected by the four institutions. It was a huge profit!
Yang Chen originally thought that Li Baoqing could handle his brother-in-law's affairs and would be a hands-off shopkeeper in the future.
Fortunately, he doesn't have any ideas now. Li Baoqing and his wife do have ideas about him, and they actually want to dilute his equity in this way.
Now that the provocation has come to an end, let’s each rely on their abilities to see who is the real king!
……
On Friday, at seven o'clock in the evening, Yang Chen drove to the headquarters of Baoqing Group.
As luck would have it, he met Zhang Jun again while waiting for the elevator.
Zhang Jun asked in surprise: "Huh? Aren't you the online ride-hailing driver? What are you doing here so late?"
Yang Chen: "Isn't there a celebration here? A friend and I are here to open our eyes."
Zhang Jun: "Haha... Then your friend is very powerful. Yes, tonight we are holding the 20th anniversary commemoration event of Baoqing Hotel. Since your friend can be invited to participate, it means that he is not simple. What does he do?
Yeah?"
Yang Chen: "He is an investor and said he invested in your group."
At this time, Yang Chen's cell phone rang, it was Qiu Yuhong calling him.
Yang Chen walked aside and answered the phone.
Qiu Yuhong: "Mr. Yang, I'm going to the United States tonight. Something happened to the mercenary branch there. I have to go and deal with it. During my absence, if you have any questions, please contact my son or deputy directly.
It’s always okay.”
Yang Chen: "What's the matter? Is it serious?"
Qiu Yuhong: "The mercenaries over there had some trouble with the local gangs when Brother Heixi was on a mission. There was a fight between the two sides. Several brothers were killed or injured. I went over to deal with it."
Yang Chen: "Well! Then be careful and pay attention to your safety."
Qiu Yuhong: "Well. Thank you Mr. Yang for your concern. Alas... I have to go to Baoqing Hotel now. They are holding a 20th anniversary celebration and invited me there. It's really troublesome."
Yang Chen: "You also have a relationship with Li Baoqing?"
Qiu Yuhong: "He was one of my younger brothers back then. I kicked him out of the company because he refused to obey the rules. Not to mention, this guy actually opened a Baoqing Restaurant. He is quite capable. Since he invited me regardless of the previous suspicion,
Then I’ll go through the motions for the sake of our past friendship.”
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yuhong, who was submissive in front of Yang Chen, was once an awesome person, and even Li Baoqing was his younger brother.
Yang Chen: "What a coincidence, I'm here too. Come here now, and we'll have a drink later. I wish you a smooth trip."
Qiu Yuhong: "It's true! OK, here I come! Haha..."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen waited for the next elevator to go up.
Arriving at the auditorium, Yang Chen found a place to sit down alone.
Li Baoqing and other shareholders were greeting the guests, and Yang Chen didn't see any other acquaintances.
After a while, Zhang Jun came.
"Hey, brother, where is your friend? Who is it?" Zhang Jun asked.
Yang Chen pointed at Li Baoqing and others and said: "They are all my partners."
Zhang Jun: "Haha...brother, don't make trouble. Those are the shareholders of our group. That tall guy is my brother-in-law Li Baoqing, and the one next to him is my sister Zhang Juan. You are an online ride-hailing driver, how can you be theirs?"
My friend."
Yang Chen: "Haha... If you don't believe it, there's nothing you can do."
Zhang Jun laughed, stood up and walked away.
After a while, he came to Li Baoqing and his wife.
"Brother-in-law, sister, congratulations. I hope Baoqing Hotel can always hold anniversary celebrations!" Zhang Jun said.
Although Zhang Jun does little tricks to make money every day, he is very good at life and manages all aspects well, so nothing has ever happened to him.
Coupled with the protection of his sister, Li Baoqing turned a blind eye.
Anyway, these two couples have no intention of continuing in the business. They are just like the couple who bought a certain hot pot brand xx, they will cash out and leave when the company goes public.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with letting your own people quietly gain some benefits, so that the wealth does not flow to outsiders.
Zhang Juan whispered: "You have to thank your brother-in-law. In order to protect you, he introduced four institutional investments, weakening the equity of the second shareholder. In this way, the second shareholder has no say. However, you will also have to
Convergence point, no problems can occur."
Zhang Jun: "Hey...I know. Thank you brother-in-law and sister."
Li Baoqing: "Okay, just don't cause any trouble to me before the company goes public."
Zhang Jun: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I know it well. By the way, let me tell you something interesting. I know an online ride-hailing driver. He said that he is a partner with you shareholders. It really made me laugh."
Zhang Juan: "There are many scammers nowadays. Be careful and don't be fooled."
Zhang Jun: "I'm not a three-year-old child, how could I be deceived by an online ride-hailing driver?"
Li Baoqing: "Well. Then how do you know the second shareholder?"
Zhang Jun: "Ah? Who is the second shareholder? I don't know you!"
Li Baoqing pointed at Yang Chen and said, "Didn't you chat with him just now?"
Zhang Jun was shocked and said: "What? He is the second shareholder? He is the online ride-hailing driver I am talking about!"
Li Baoqing and Zhang Juan were also shocked. Why is the second shareholder an online ride-hailing driver?
Zhang Jun's face changed suddenly and he said: "It's over! It's over, it's over, it's over..."
Zhang Juan: "What's wrong? He...his brother bought grouper and wave dragon from me!"
Li Baoqing: "What?"
The three of them became scared at the same time.
Isn’t this the end of the story?
They also wanted to dilute Yang Chen's equity, but Zhang Jun's information fell into Yang Chen's hands. What should they do?
Li Baoqing made a decisive decision and said: "Xiaojun, go and tell him that your sister and I want to talk to him and take him to the lounge."
Zhang Jun nodded and hurried to find Yang Chen.
"You...what do you want to do? Disguise yourself as an online ride-hailing driver and trick me into selling fish to you. Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?" Zhang Jun asked angrily.
Yang Chen: "I am indeed an online ride-hailing driver. I did lie to you about selling fish, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the evidence."
Zhang Jun: "You...why are you doing this? What's the benefit to you? Can't you just wait for the listing to cash out?"
Yang Chen: "No need to explain to you."
Zhang Jun: "My brother-in-law and my sister are waiting for you in the lounge. They want to talk to you."
Yang Chen got up and followed Zhang Jun to the lounge.
Li Baoqing asked: "What do you want to do?"
Yang Chen: "Didn't I tell you? I don't have to interfere with the company's management and operation, but I don't allow others to infringe on my dividend rights. This is my bottom line as a second shareholder. I called you in advance to tell you, but
You didn't ask, but you still let him continue to package wild things for takeout at low prices. Even so, I still want to discuss this matter with you. But you turned around and tried to dilute my equity, forcing me to withdraw.
Retreat! Okay, since there is no way to retreat, I will not retreat, I can only have a showdown with you! Sell Zhang Juan’s equity to me at half price, otherwise I will call the police and put Zhang Jun in jail! Two houses in Haicheng, at least
More than 10 million. His accomplices outside also need to share the money. This amount is enough to give him life or death penalty. This is the only solution. You can figure it out."
Zhang Jun's legs instantly became weak and he fell directly onto the sofa behind him.
Li Baoqing: "You dare to threaten me? Do you know how I, Li Baoqing, made my fortune?"
Yang Chen: "I know, you're taking advantage of others, and you're charging protection money for fighting. What, do you think it's very honorable?"
Li Baoqing: "Let me tell you, I just don't do what I used to do now, but it doesn't mean that I dare not do it or won't do it. You'd better understand what I mean!"
At this time, someone knocked on the door and said that representatives from four investment institutions had arrived.
Li Baoqing called a few people in and ordered: "Take his cell phone away, keep an eye on him, and don't allow him to leave this room. When the celebration is over, I will come over to meet him!"
The boys quickly went forward to search Yang Chen and took away his mobile phone.
Then Yang Chen definitely couldn't let him take it away, so the two sides started fighting.
Originally, Yang Chen was more than capable of dealing with these gangsters, but he didn't expect Li Baoqing, a coward, to launch a sneak attack and throw an ashtray remotely and hit Yang Chen on the back of the head.
Yang Chen instinctively covered his head, giving those people an opportunity.
They swarmed up, pressing Yang Chen under them like a stack of arhats.
"Be honest, I will come and have a good talk with you after the celebration is over. Watch out for him. If he leaves this room even half a step, I will kill you all!" Li Baoqing said.
Yang Chen was very angry, now it was no longer a simple battle for equity.
"Li Baoqing, I will arrange three paths for you this time! First, scatter all your wealth and live on the streets. Second, you and your wife will be imprisoned for life! I'll see what you choose!" Yang Chen shouted.
In fact, there is a third way, which is to let their whole family die.
The overseas mercenary branch of the SHIELD Security Group can take on this task, and it will definitely cause an accident and kill their entire family.
However, Yang Chen lives under the red flag after all, so he is not so violent and vicious, and he doesn’t quite understand the nature of the overseas mercenary branch of the SHIELD Security Group, so he has no thoughts of killing people for the time being.
But, again, he has a sword and doesn't use it, and he doesn't have a sword in his hand are not the same thing.
Li Baoqing didn't care and said: "Don't scare me! My previous experience was much more exciting than this. When I have time, I will tell you about the past to open your eyes. Haha... You want to scare me, you idiot."
Watch him!"
After saying that, Li Baoqing and his wife returned to the celebration site with Zhang Jun, who looked pale.
Representatives from the four institutions preparing to invest in Baoqing Hotel came over.
Tianmu Investment CEO Zhang Wu and his son Zhang Long.
Xue Yinong, Chairman of Minghuang Investment.
Huang Wenkang, head of Peninsula Group’s asset management division.
Liang Xiuyun, President of Shengjin Investment Haicheng Branch.
These four institutions only invested in Baoqing Hotel because of Yang Chen's reputation. However, Li Baoqing didn't know the truth and thought they were investing in Baoqing Hotel because they were really optimistic about the future prospects.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Baoqing and their shareholders happily welcomed representatives from the four institutions.
After some pleasantries, Xue Yinong said: "Why don't you see your second shareholder?"
The expressions of Li Baoqing and his wife suddenly changed.
Li Baoqing: "Ms. Xue knows our two shareholders?"
Xue Yinong: "I know him. It was because he invested in your Baoqing Hotel that I chose to invest."
Zhang Wu: "Yes, I also want to invest in Baoqing Hotel because of Mr. Yang's face."
Huang Wenkang: "So do we. After all, Mr. Yang is the second shareholder of our group, and they are all our own. We are also optimistic that Baoqing Hotel can be successfully listed, so we invest."
Liang Xiuyun: "We, Sheng Jingang, have opened a branch in Haicheng and have not invested in many businesses. We just invested in a resort owned by Mr. Yang last time, and this time we also want to invest in the Baoqing Hotel that he is optimistic about. We originally thought about tonight
I can meet Mr. Yang now, but why don’t I see anyone else?"
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!
This is such a mess!
Li Baoqing and Zhang Juan's faces were pale, and their backs were sweating.
However, this is just an appetizer.
At this time, Zhang Xiang arrived.
Li Baoqing wiped his sweat and said, "Why is Lawyer Zhang here too? We didn't invite you."
Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "You didn't invite him, but Mr. Yang did. Where is Mr. Yang? Why don't you see other people? You shouldn't have put him under house arrest, right? As a professional lawyer, I want to remind you that you can't put others under house arrest."
Freedom is a crime."
Li Baoqing's expression changed drastically again, and the corners of his mouth were trembling.
However, this is still not the end.
At this time, Qiu Yuhong arrived.
"Haha... Baoqing, congratulations, congratulations!" Qiu Yuhong said with a smile.
Seeing his former eldest brother, Li Baoqing quickly went up to him and bowed.
"Brother Hong, thank you for coming to our Baoqing Hotel's 20th anniversary celebration. I'm really happy that you can come." Li Baoqing said with a smile.
Qiu Yuhong said with a smile: "Originally, I really didn't have time to come over. I had to go to the United States and there was something waiting for me to deal with there. However, Mr. Yang said that he was the second shareholder of Baoqing Hotel and invited me to come over.
Then I will definitely come over. Hey, why don’t you see Mr. Yang? Where are the others?"
