At the same time, Wang Chuanxi had just returned to his home in Shencheng when he called his cousin Lu Xiangyang over. He was not only a relative, but also one of the founders of BYD.
When Wang Chuanxi started his own business, it was Lu Xiangyang who provided the start-up capital. The two had a very close relationship and have always been die-hard allies.
Lu Xiangyang holds a lot of shares in BYD. He is the second largest individual shareholder, holding 8.22% of the shares, and is the absolute largest shareholder.
In addition, the investment company founded by him also holds shares in BYD, and the two share more than 13%. In terms of influence, it is not much worse than Wang Chuanxi.
"Old cousin, you are here, sit down quickly."
"Lao Wang, I heard from my siblings that you just met Zhang Hao? How was the conversation?"
Lu Xiangyang got straight to the point.
Wang Chuanxi took a sip of tea before replying: "I have strength and sincerity, but my ability is a bit far behind. I don't even understand some common sense about electric cars. In fact, I don't care about the money, I am afraid that I am trusting someone else." p>
Immediately afterwards, he briefly introduced the interview situation, his tone full of regret.
"Young people cannot cover everything."
Lu Xiangyang admires Zhang Hao very much.
He has studied the other party specially. Although this person is a second-generation rich man, he can achieve his current net worth in just one year. It is not an exaggeration to call him a genius.
At this age, he is still working hard for qualifications in a bank and working for others!
"What do you think of this acquisition? Should we choose Zhang Hao or Sterling?"
Wang Chuanxi wants to hear the other party’s opinion.
"Both of these two people are the pride of heaven, but I personally prefer to cooperate with Sterling."
Wang Chuanxi was a little surprised: "What's the reason?"
After all, the most important thing for those engaged in finance is money.
"Sterling is an expert and has a greater chance of success. Let's not talk about Zhang Hao's abilities. The Laoshan Chamber of Commerce behind him is too chaotic and prone to internal strife."
Lu Xiangyang explained seriously.
"But Sterling has no money. Even if we support him, he won't be able to buy back many shares. Besides, Zhang Hao and his group are not vegetarians. They can't just watch helplessly. They will definitely drive up the stock price." p>
Wang Chuanxi couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, my old cousin was in the investment business, and his investment company had a market value of hundreds of billions, so he shouldn't have to worry about rebuilding funds. Unfortunately, the stock market came to a halt and all the funds were tied up.
Even if the stock market reopens in the future, the other party's net worth will shrink significantly. In addition, the investment company still owes a lot of foreign debt, which will cause a lot of trouble for itself.
"Lao Wang, in fact Sterling also came to see me, and we had in-depth discussions. You don't have to worry about funding. I have already found an investor."
Lu Xiangyang did not show off to the other party.
Wang Chuanxi was overjoyed and quickly asked: "Where did the funds come from? Tell me carefully."
"There are three investments in total this time, one car company, one and a half car companies, and one is a private investment."
Lu Xiangyang paused and continued to introduce:
"The car company is Guangdong Automobile Co., Ltd., half of the car companies are Warwick Corporation, and you will never guess the final private investor."
"Who?" Wang Chuanxi couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Our old rival Li Shufu."
"Is it him? I don't understand, where is his Volvo car? How can it be a private investment?"
Lu Xiangyang immediately explained: "Volvo Cars has been acquired by Shenqi Automobile Group. Now he has a huge amount of money and nowhere to spend it."
Compared with Zhuwan District's maritime transportation advantages, other regions have a more urgent demand for trucks, especially coal trucks, which are related to the daily lives of 5 to 6 billion people.
In addition, Shanghai City has a strong foundation, so it is not difficult to understand why it would merge with Volvo.
If Zhang Hao had not intervened, BYD would not be able to escape a similar fate in a few months.
"When did it happen?"
"I remember it was May. At that time, Shencheng officials personally ended the business. Seeing that there was no hope of reconstruction, Li Shufu had no choice but to reluctantly sell the company and move to Zhucheng."
"Is he still in Zhucheng now?"
Lu Xiangyang nodded: "Yes, speaking of which, it was Sterling who told me this news. I came to visit him that day, and he personally agreed to invest 50 billion.
As for the other two, each will contribute 25 billion, plus Sterling’s 20 billion and bank loans, it shouldn’t be a problem to come up with 150 billion.”
"What about the shares? How to divide them?"
Wang Chuanxi looked very excited.
As long as the funding problem can be solved, the combination of "BYD" and "Faraday" will definitely be able to kill everyone and return to the top.
"After preliminary negotiations, the stocks in our hands, plus all the recovered stocks, will be directly divided into five, with each company holding 20%."
"If we calculate it this way, let alone us, wouldn't Li Shufu suffer too much? After all, he has invested the most."
"There is no way, who made him lose the company? Among the five of us, he is the weakest."
Lu Xiangyang spread his hands.
Let’s not talk about them and Sterling.
Guangdong Automobile is a well-established state-owned enterprise with a deep background and strong connections; Huawei Company has a car manufacturing business and can not only provide technical support but also help in other aspects; only Li Shufu is nothing but money.
Wang Chuanxi nodded: "Then who owns the management rights?"
"Guangdong Automobile and Warwick Company have their own businesses. They don't interfere in daily management. If you are not in good health here, we have no choice but to give up. The only ones left are Li Shufu and Sterling.
In the future, Li Shufu will be in charge of BYD, which mainly produces private cars; Sterling will continue to lead Faraday, focusing on trucks and engineering vehicles."
“The division of labor is clear!”
Wang Chuanxi couldn't help but sigh.
"There is no way, neither of them can accept the other, so in the end we have to do this."
"Okay, it's better to separate, to avoid internal fighting." Wang Chuanxi nodded subconsciously, and then said: "Since the discussion is almost done, you can go back and invite everyone out, and we will discuss the specific plan."
"Okay, how about you take two days off first and make it this Sunday?" Lu Xiangyang suggested.
"I don't need to rest. If possible, why don't I choose tomorrow? The sooner this happens, the better. It's best to catch Zhang Hao and the others off guard to prevent them from causing damage."
Wang Chuanxi quickly waved his hand.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow night!" Lu Xiangyang didn't want to cause trouble, so he agreed on the spot, "I'll choose the place, I can't let Zhang Hao know about it."
Next, there will definitely be a fight between the two sides around the stock. They must do a good job of confidentiality and then catch the other party by surprise.
"It's a pity. Zhang Hao, this junior, is pretty good, especially his Southeast Fishery Company, which is simply a stroke of genius."
Wang Chuanxi suddenly felt something.
Lu Xiangyang nodded and agreed: "The Southeast Fisheries industry is indeed amazing. If it weren't for the intervention from above, he would definitely become the new richest man in the federation in the future."
"Oh, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time!"
