Chapter 1885: Joint-stock system cannot be avoided
Xiao Siya didn't give me any face, and insisted: "Mr. Chen, it's only 100 million. It's not much to you, right? And you have to know that this 100 million can bring you huge value. Say no."
I'll definitely make it back for you in less than half a year."
"No, one hundred million is really too much, less."
"How much do you want?"
"A 50% discount, 50 million, okay?"
"Let me tell you, Mr. Chen, you are really a genius at doing business! How can you bargain so hard? You just cut it in half."
I gave her a "sweating" expression and said, "I really don't have that much money, can you do it?"
"Can you take out the fifty million?"
I couldn't seem to get it out, so I gave her an "awkward" expression and said, "You owe me first, I can write you an IOU."
Xiao Siya suddenly called me on a voice call, and I immediately answered the call: "Is it convenient for you to call me now?"
"It's convenient, let's continue talking about the topic just now!"
"Then are you willing? I'll write you an IOU."
"I don't want to."
I felt a little embarrassed immediately, so I had to say coquettishly: "Mr. Xiao, my beautiful and charming Boss Xiao, can't you just do me this favor? If it doesn't work, I can give you a dividend when the time comes."
Xiao Siya smiled and said: "I said Chen Feng, can you still act coquettishly?"
Without waiting for me to speak, she said to me again: "How about you show me some coquettishness. Maybe I will be happy and I will design it for you for free without your money."
"If you say that, then I'll be in high spirits. What kind of coquettishness do you want?"
"Just do what you said just now, and tone it a little more gently."
"No problem!"
As soon as I said it, I pinched my throat and said: "Beautiful Xiao, can I ask you to do me this favor? From now on, you will be my god, and I will let every employee in the company remember your goodness."
After I finished speaking, Xiao Siya laughed loudly: "I mean, Chen Feng, I've been in contact with you for so long, and I haven't noticed that you are so funny? You must be a funny guy!"
"Then are you satisfied?"
“Not satisfied.”
"Still not satisfied? I say Miss Xiao, you have gone too far!"
Xiao Siya smiled again, and suddenly said seriously: "I will be at your company soon, let's meet and talk."
"Huh? Why are you here?"
"Can't I come?"
"No, of course you can come, anytime."
"That's right, let's talk about it in person."
After hanging up the phone, after waiting for about half an hour, Xiao Siya finally came.
When she walked into the office, she looked at me with a half-smile, and said jokingly: "Mr. Chen, show me how coquettish you are."
"screw you!"
She clicked her tongue and said, "You are so quick to fall out! You were so sweet on the phone just now, why are you embarrassed in front of me now?"
"Can you please stop teasing me? I'm going to tell you something serious, is that okay?"
"Show me the invitation letter." She seemed a little unconvinced.
"You wouldn't come to my place specifically just to make sure it's true, right?" I said, picking up my phone, pulling out the invitation, and handing it to her.
She took the phone and started looking at it, while saying: "It's really amazing. It was invited by the French Fashion Association less than a year after its establishment. Do you know that our Siya Clothing has been established for so long?
I have never received such an invitation."
"It just shows that I'm awesome."
Xiao Siya rolled her eyes at me and said, "If I praise you a few times, you will reach heaven!"
"Is not it?"
Xiao Siya smiled, handed me her cell phone, and said, "It only means that you have chosen the right path. Traditional embroidery is the right path."
But I sighed and said: "The problem now is that we currently have no new designs, and this requires ten sets of different types of designs."
"There is me!"
"Your price is too high, I can't afford it!"
Xiao Siya suppressed a smile and said: "You are going to participate in Paris Fashion Week, how can you still have no money?"
"Why should I lie to you? It's not like you don't know that the projects in the garment city are all funded by the government."
"You just know how to find bargains."
"How can this be called bargain hunting? I am called flexible."
Xiao Siya smiled bitterly and said, "I'm joking with you, but you still take it seriously!"
"What's the meaning?"
"You said you would spend money to buy my blueprints. I told you 100 million. I was kidding you."
I was stunned for a moment and looked at her blankly.
"What's wrong? Do you think happiness comes too suddenly?"
"No, you...what are you trying to do?"
"I'm looking for shares in your company!"
"You want shares?"
"Are you going to give it to me?"
I fell silent for a moment, because currently I own 100% of the shares, and I have suffered losses in shares, so I am becoming more and more careful about this kind of thing.
In my silence, Xiao Siya said again: "Are you unwilling?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I am the absolute controlling shareholder now. If you suddenly join in, what will happen?"
"I only want 10%. It's up to you to do whatever you want."
Ten percent does not pose a threat to me, but if this happens, our company's shareholding system will change.
"Are you still unwilling? Or are you worried about something?"
I suddenly became serious and said to her: "Xiao Ya, we are no strangers to each other anymore. I will tell you some things directly. I have been deceived before, and I suffered losses in the shareholding system, which led to my previous long-term relationship."
The Feng Group was taken away by gangsters... Therefore, I have always held 100% control of Yalan Clothing."
Xiao Siya pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, but if you become bigger first, you will inevitably have a shareholding system!"
"I know the truth, I'm just scared."
Xiao Siya smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of. You may have been too trusting in the past, and you definitely didn't implement the shareholding system properly."
After a pause, Xiao Siya said to me again: "For example, now, you can set up a shareholding agreement. You have absolute say, and all investors only have investment rights and no say."
"Is that so?"
"You should know these things better than me, right?"
Of course I understand, because I have suffered losses, so I have put a lot of effort into the stock issue.
Xiao Siya is right, if you really want to become bigger and stronger, you cannot avoid the joint-stock system unless one company is really the only one.
It's impossible. The garment industry is a long-lasting industry in China. No one dares to say that it monopolizes the domestic garment industry, and no one dares to say that one company is the only one.
Therefore, in the end, it is better to go public or adopt a joint-stock system.
But this question really caught me off guard, and I couldn't agree so directly.
I said to Xiao Siya: "Xiao Ya, I think this matter can be implemented, but I have to discuss it with An Lan, do you think?"
"Okay, this is a responsible performance for you, me, and the company. You can ask her opinion now. I will wait for your news here."
I nodded, asked her to wait, and then came to An Lan's office.
