"Uncle Zhou, don't be anxious! When we acquire BYD, we are betting not on the present, but on the future. In a few years, the market for plantations will be saturated, and that will be the best time for us to show off our capabilities."<
/p>
Zhang Hao explained patiently.
Whether in the past or in the future, private cars will always be the mainstream of the industry, and the market is hundreds of times larger than the pure truck market.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Zhou Jianneng felt as if the clouds had been cleared away. He had a good reputation, and his eldest nephew really had a lot of skills.
"Xiao Hao, Uncle Zhou will listen to you from now on."
"Uncle Zhou, in addition to Mr. Wang from BYD, I also contacted Donal Sterling, the boss of Faraday. Although Faraday has lost its factory, its technology and patents are still there. We can take the opportunity to acquire more."
Faraday used to be the largest car company in the Federation, and was also the leader and founder of the electric vehicle industry. It had a rich family fortune and would definitely have good things on hand.
Zhou Jianneng was surprised: "The richest man in the federation?"
"Yes, it's him. He himself has moved to Zhucheng from Europa a long time ago. When you arrive, let's invite him out and sit down and talk together."
"Okay!"
Zhou Jianneng's expression was complicated, with mixed emotions.
Fortunately, BYD has an extra helping hand.
As for the worry, the main reason is that he is afraid that the other party will compete with him for the general manager. Whether it is personal ability or experience, he is far inferior.
……
Time flies, and three days pass quickly.
Zhou Jianneng and his party finally arrived at Shencheng Port.
In accordance with the agreement, Zhang Hao went to the port to greet everyone. He was also accompanied by Mayor Zhou of Shenzhen City. In order to express his sincerity, this man also worked hard.
After some introductions, Zhou Gengnian personally arranged the vehicles and took everyone back to Shencheng Guest House.
In the evening, the city government held a welcome banquet to welcome Zhou Jianneng and his party.
Of course, in the face of a major disaster, keep everything simple.
Everyone just got together and had a simple dinner. Mayor Zhou took the opportunity to shout a few slogans and then briefly introduced the preferential policies for attracting local investment.
For example, three exemptions, five discounts and lower utility bills.
Amidst the warm applause, Zhou Gengnian finished his speech and then returned to his seat.
There are only six people sitting at this table. In addition to Mayor Zhou and Director Shao of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the other four are Zhang Hao, Zhou Jianneng, Li Bangrui of CompuTong, and President Du Chengping of the Laoshan Chamber of Commerce.
"Mayor Zhou, please forgive me. Although the city has considered it very carefully, a wise man will always make mistakes. It seems that you are missing a preferential policy?"
Zhang Hao reminded casually.
"Oh? What's missing? I'd like to hear the details."
Zhou Gengnian asked quickly.
Zhang Hao pointed to Zhou Jianneng and explained:
"For work needs, Mr. Zhou is planning to move his family here. If they follow the formal route, they will have to wait for at least a year. This is too inconvenient."
Zhou Gengnian reacted immediately, and then lightly patted the table with his hand:
"Oh, that makes sense. We took things for granted and ignored this point. Fortunately, Director Zhang reminded us, otherwise it would have been too rude.
Don’t worry, I will add this one later. Anyone who invests more than 10 million can directly settle in our Shenzhen without waiting in line.”
In fact, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Mayor Zhou and others. After all, there was no household registration issue before this, and the population in each major area moved freely.
What's more, all the investors are very rich. They can go wherever they want and will be welcomed wherever they go. They don't have to worry about household registration issues at all.
Zhou Jianneng saw this and quickly picked up his glass: "Mayor Zhou, I'd like to toast you. To be honest, I was worried about settling in, and you have helped our family solve a big problem."
"You're welcome, this is what we should do."
After a short interlude, everyone quickly turned to the topic of the acquisition progress. This is what everyone is most concerned about and is also the most urgent matter.
"Everyone, please rest assured that BYD has submitted delisting applications to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange respectively, and the delisting process will be initiated as soon as next month."
Zhou Gengnian introduced with excitement.
Delisting is a necessary procedure for acquisitions and reorganizations.
Since the stock market is closed, the delisted stocks will directly enter the stock conversion system, and investors can choose to sell the stocks or continue to hold them.
If you choose to continue holding, you can wait until the stock market restarts and transfer the stock to the third board market for trading, or you can wait for the delisted company to relist.
During this period, if the delisted company unfortunately goes bankrupt, it will undoubtedly undergo bankruptcy liquidation, and all losses will be borne by the shareholders themselves.
Zhang Hao followed up and asked: "Mayor Zhou, have you contacted Mr. Wang?"
"I've contacted you. Mr. Wang set off by boat five days ago. We estimate we'll arrive by the end of the month."
Zhou Gengnian smiled and nodded.
"Where are the other major shareholders?"
"Everyone has been contacted. Some people will come in person, and some people will entrust agents. According to the information I got, most of them intend to sell the stocks directly instead of continuing to hold them."
"What about Mr. Wang? What is Mr. Wang's attitude?"
Zhou Jianneng couldn't help but interrupt.
Zhou Gengnian shook his head: "I'm not sure about Mr. Wang's side. From what he means, I guess he wants to talk to you first and then make a decision."
"What are we talking about? Doesn't he still want to come back?"
Zhou Jianneng said worriedly.
"It shouldn't be the case. Mr. Wang is in poor health and is unlikely to come back."
"Then who is he?" Zhang Hao asked doubtfully.
"I guess I'm worried. After all, BYD was founded by Mr. Wang. I definitely hope that it will get better and better. Of course, I don't rule out the possibility of sky-high prices."
Zhou Gengnian tried to analyze it.
Zhang Hao followed up and inquired: "Mayor Zhou, you should know Mr. Wang, right? Can you tell us what kind of character he is?"
"Stubborn, arbitrary, strong family values."
Zhou Gengnian directly said three adjectives.
"I'm afraid this kind of person will not be easily persuaded."
Zhang Hao couldn't help but frown.
At the same time, I was also prepared to spend money.
Zhou Gengnian smiled and reassured: "You're too worried. For a young and talented person like Director Zhang, Mr. Wang will definitely be willing to entrust the company to you. Besides, there is no one to compete with you right now. Mr. Wang has no other choice."
"I hope so!" Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed: "My father has taught me since I was a child that I should follow the example of business seniors like Mr. Wang. This rare opportunity, I must ask for advice in person."<
/p>
"Director Zhang, if it is feasible, I suggest you hire Mr. Wang as a consultant. This has decades of experience and cannot be replaced by others."
Zhou Gengnian took the opportunity to make a small suggestion.
Wang Chuanxi is the founder of BYD. No one is more familiar with BYD than him. If we can get the cooperation and help of the other party, it will undoubtedly greatly speed up the reorganization speed and production resumption time.
