After the board meeting, Wei Ziqian found Li Wan and said with a somewhat uneasy expression: "Mr. Li, I discovered something that may be important."
Li Wan said as he walked: "What's going on? I see you are so nervous."
Wei Ziqian said: "Someone is maliciously acquiring the shares of Zhicheng Group."
Li Wan stopped, stared into Wei Ziqian's eyes and said, "Are you sure? Who is running this?"
Wei Ziqian shook his head: "I don't know, but the other party must have come prepared. They offered a high price and are determined to win. Many small shareholders have already secretly sold their shares to them."
Li Wan said: "Don't be nervous, our company is not listed, and most of the stocks are concentrated in the hands of a few major shareholders. It is not that easy to make a hostile takeover."
Wei Ziqian said: "This is exactly what I am worried about. As long as we get a few important shareholders and control more than 51% of the shares, Zhicheng Group will change hands."
Li Wan sneered: "The group is at its peak, who would be so stupid as to give up the shares? Besides, if you want to swallow up the Zhicheng Group, you can't do it without a pair of iron mouth and steel teeth. I don't think there is such a thing in Jiangbei City yet."
Role."
After saying that, Li Wan left, making a series of loud footsteps with high heels, looking particularly confident, but Wei Ziqian still shook her head worriedly. As the assistant to the president, she knew that although the Zhicheng Group seems to be a giant now
, but there are many hidden dangers and complicated internal relationships. The Longyang project and the Linjiang project are like bottomless black holes, sucking in all the funds accumulated by the group over the years. So far, there has not been a penny of income. Now the group's
The operation is completely dependent on bank loans. The short-term and long-term borrowings on the books are already astronomical. The monthly financial expenses caused by loan interest alone are an astonishing huge amount of money. In addition, yesterday's payment to the demolished households
We paid millions in compensation, and the company has no money left in its books!
Real estate companies rely purely on capital operations. Without large-scale financial support, they cannot survive for a day. The same is true for Zhicheng Group. The current situation can be described as precarious. If nothing goes wrong, everything will be lost.
.
I hope I can get through this time. Wei Ziqian sighed and walked away quietly.
In the president's office, Li Wan frowned, holding the latest cash flow statement in his hand. There was no money in the company's account. The compensation paid to the demolition households yesterday had actually used Li Wan's personal savings.
She had already known what Ziqian was talking about, but at this time, she had to show enough confidence.
Li Wan knew very well who was quietly acquiring the Zhicheng Group behind the scenes. It must have been done by Nie Wanlong of the Great Development Group. He had always been worried about the change of hands of the Gaotupo land, but he wanted to swallow it up.
Sincerely, I don’t have the appetite for large-scale development. Unless..., that is impossible. Li Wan shook her head gently. She also had a trump card in her hand, which was President Dai of China Construction Bank, an old classmate of Yin Zhijian.
I have promised myself that a loan of 30 million will be transferred to the account of Zhicheng Company in the near future. With this 30 million, I can solve the urgent need and at least enable the company to tide over this difficulty.
It was with this 30 million as the backing that Li Wan made the decision to pay the demolition fee in full. The board of directors held a debate about this. In the end, Li Wan made the decision against all the opinions, but she also felt a little uneasy in her heart.
The day the loan didn't arrive, the more day her heart hung in the balance.
Just as he was about to call President Dai, the internal phone rang suddenly. It was from the front desk, saying that Mr. Han Shihe was visiting. Li Wan quickly asked him to come in.
Han Shihe is a shareholder of the company. When Zhicheng Company was first established in the early years, he invested 100,000 yuan in it. Over time, the shares worth 100,000 yuan have increased in value to 1.2 million, but Han Shihe was still just
As a small shareholder, he is not qualified to join the board of directors, and he cannot understand the company's financial status at any time.
Li Wan has always respected these old shareholders. She personally went to the door of the office to welcome Lao Han in, asked Xiao Jiang to make tea, and personally accompanied Lao Han to sit down on the sofa and asked kindly: "Han
Uncle, why do you come here when you have time?"
Lao Han said with some trepidation: "My child wants to buy a house in the United States, and I don't have enough funds on hand. I want to transfer the company's shares."
Li Wan said: "That's it, no problem, but I still have to advise you. Our company is developing very rapidly, almost like a snowball. Zhicheng's stock is the hen that lays golden eggs. It would be a pity to transfer it."
.”
Lao Han said: "I know, but the family really needs money, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Li Wan said: "Who do you want to transfer the shares to?"
Lao Han said: "Don't leave the land to outsiders. Mr. Li, just take over my shares."
Li Wan was stunned. She couldn't withdraw more than one million in cash from her personal account, but she couldn't show it in front of Old Han, so she smiled and said: "Uncle Han, you don't have to transfer it to me. Our company
The stocks are so popular, if you are willing to transfer them, why don’t people rush to buy them?"
Lao Han said: "The rumors outside are very strong now. I hold so many shares, it is really not easy to change hands at once."
Li Wan asked: "Oh? What are they passing on?"
Lao Han said: "They said there was a problem with the group's funds and they no longer had money for projects."
Li Wan smiled softly: "Five years ago, they were saying that Zhicheng Group was going to collapse, but Zhicheng Group was not in good shape yet, and it was getting stronger and stronger. It is an indisputable fact that the annual dividends are quite generous. If you
If you are really short of money, I can take over these shares and take them back when you have more money. What do you think?"
Lao Han said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Li."
Li Wan pressed the intercom: "Ziqian come in."
Wei Ziqian walked in lightly and stood silently by the door waiting for the CEO's orders. Li Wan said: "Ziqian, help Mr. Han calculate the shares in his hand, take them over at the going price, and pay them to my account."
funds.”
Wei Ziqian nodded and said, "This way, Mr. Han."
Old Han followed Wei Ziqian, and Li Wan's face gradually became serious. It seemed that the matter was more serious than Wei Ziqian said. Someone was secretly acquiring the shares of Zhicheng Group, and then selling them out at a low price. At the same time, he used
Rumors create an atmosphere of panic and allow shareholders to force themselves to get involved. This move can be described as extremely ruthless. It specializes in the vitality of Zhicheng Group, which is capital!
In order to further verify her speculation, Li Wan picked up the phone on the table and started calling some shareholders she was familiar with. Of course, she would not ask about the shares directly, but would use greetings to make insinuations. The results surprised her.
The shares of the small shareholders were acquired at a high price as early as three months ago.
An hour later, Wei Ziqian walked into Li Wan's office and said softly: "Old Han has gone back. I asked him to come back next Monday to pick up the check. According to financial data, the stock in his hand is worth one hundred and twenty
Fifty thousand yuan, but you only have 300,000 yuan in your account, and the company only has one million yuan in its account."
Li Wan rubbed his temples and said without opening his eyes: "Give him a transfer check for 1.3 million. Let the finance department issue it and you can send it to his home."
Wei Ziqian said: "But if the money is given to him, what will happen if there is another old Han?"
Li Wan said: "Ziqian, you should understand that this is not a problem of Lao Han. It is someone who is destroying Zhicheng's stock price. We must protect the market at all costs, otherwise it will form an avalanche and the group will be really doomed. As long as we
If Lao Han holds his own, we will win one round first, and the situation will turn around once the loan comes in."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Wei Ziqian bit his lip and turned around.
…
At Old Han's house, Hou Zhenye was sitting on the sofa and puffing away: "Old Han, what I said is right. The company is already an empty shell. It can't even get out one million. My wife belongs to Li Wan.
Auntie, we are supposed to be a family, but our stocks have been sold at a loss a long time ago. Don't worry about her boasting, it is true when you have cash in your hands."
Lao Han hesitated and said: "You all say so, but I don't think the company is good?"
Hou Zhenye said: "Old Han, you don't understand this. The less money you have, the more you have to pretend to be rich. I will make a bet with you today that you will definitely not get the money next Monday."
Just as he was talking, another guest came to Lao Han's house. It was Wei Ziqian, the assistant to the president. She came to deliver a check to Lao Han. Seeing Hou Zhenye present, Wei Ziqian was only slightly surprised, and then greeted her politely.
He said hello, asked Lao Han to sign the check stub and went back.
Lao Han held the transfer check in his hand and waved it at Hou Zhenye: "Didn't you say you won't get the money even next Monday? They even gave me an extra fifty thousand."
Hou Zhenye smiled disdainfully: "A blank check is worthless, just wait and see."
…
Li Wan had a particularly difficult time this weekend. After paying Lao Han 1.3 million, the company no longer had a penny in its account. It couldn't even pay next month's salary, let alone buy back the wages of other shareholders.
Li Wan has calculated that he will need at least 50 million to cope with this crisis, and there is no money in his private account, only real estate is left. However, if he sells the real estate, it will be equivalent to directly announcing to the outside world.
The capital chain of Zhicheng Group is broken.
Now all hopes are on Governor Dai. After the 30 million is received, Li Wan will be able to cope with all difficulties. However, Governor Dai suddenly disappeared and could not be contacted. He asked Yin Zhijian, and Yin Zhijian also said
I can't find this old classmate.
On Monday, Lao Han went to the bank with a transfer check and handed the check to the counter with great anxiety. Two minutes later, the check was returned. The young teller said kindly: "I'm sorry, sir, Zhicheng Company's bank account has been frozen."
"What? What freeze?" Lao Han was stunned, and the alarmist words of Hou Zhenye suddenly appeared in his mind. Zhicheng Group was already an empty shell heavily in debt. If these stocks were not sold in time, they would even be abolished.
Not even as good as paper.
At the same time, Li Wan was also shocked. A joint investigation team composed of prosecutors in Tibetan blue uniforms and staff from the Local Taxation Inspection Bureau stationed in the group's financial department, requesting access to three years of financial information and reviewing the group's financial information.
Regarding the tax settlement situation, in order to cooperate with the investigation, the procuratorate has applied to seal the company’s basic account.
The Zhicheng Group has always been law-abiding in its operations, and the procuratorate and the tax bureau found no major problems. However, the disturbance caused by their high-profile entry was fatal, and it was like pouring a barrel of gasoline on the flames of rumors.
The phone in the CEO's office was ringing non-stop. They were all questioning calls from shareholders. Li Wan left it to Wei Ziqian and the others to handle, while he sat in the office calming down.
Suddenly there was a knock on the office door, and Yin Zhijian walked in with a tired look on his face and swollen eyes.
"Have you found President Dai?" Li Wan asked.
"Found it."
"What do you say about the loan?"
"He said... the central bank has issued policies to strictly control loans to real estate companies, and he... can't help."
Li Wan sat deeply into the large chair and murmured: "I know, this has been a game from the beginning, a well-designed game."
Yin Zhijian walked up to Li Wan and opened his suitcase. There were all brand-new cash neatly stacked inside.
"There are two million here, we can handle it."
Li Wan looked into Yin Zhijian's eyes and asked, "Where did this money come from?"
The corner of Yin Zhijian's mouth twitched: "I was deceived by Lao Dai, otherwise the company would not have reached this point. I sold the house and car, and that's it."
The two of them remained speechless for a long time.
Suddenly, the door of the office was banged, and Old Han angrily broke through the obstruction of the assistants and walked in, asking: "Mr. Li, why don't you keep your word? You promised to give me money on Monday, where is the money!"
Li Wan said coldly: "Mr. Yin, give him money, 1.25 million."
Seeing the cash in the suitcase, Lao Han's attitude changed drastically. He signed the stock endorsement in his name and left with 1.25 million under the supervision of the accountant.
Lao Han left, but more Lao Han came over and asked the company to buy back their shares. The shares in Lao Han's hands were less than 1% of the company's total share capital, which already made Mr. Li very anxious. Where could he go?
Go get a lot of money to buy back more shares.
Since the company is unwilling to repurchase, the shareholders have no choice but to sell it to someone willing to take over at a low price. An invisible big hand is secretly controlling the stock price, buying high and selling low, suppressing the stock at all levels, and creating various rumors to undermine the shareholders.
Confidence, their ultimate goal is obvious, which is to acquire the entire Zhicheng Group.
But this is not easy, because most of the shares of Zhicheng Group are in the hands of a few people, and they are unwilling to sell. No matter whether the stock price rises to the sky or falls to the ground, no one else can control Zhicheng Group.
In the large conference room, a temporary board meeting was being held. All the directors were livid and silent. After Li Wan finished introducing the recent events, Lao Jin, the director with the largest shareholding, stood up and said: "I didn't expect that the company has reached this stage.
For the sake of it, I want to quit, so as not to end up in vain."
The two directors sitting next to Lao Jin also raised their hands and said: "We will advance and retreat together with Lao Jin." The shares of the three of them combined can account for 30% of the company's total share capital. If these shares fall to Dakai Development
With this in hand, Li Wan's position as CEO will no longer be secure.
Li Wan said sincerely: "Please believe me, there is no problem with the company's accounts and its operations are normal. All this is caused by competitors. As long as you persist, Zhicheng will be able to overcome this difficulty and will develop even better."
Stronger and stronger.”
Lao Jin said: "Mr. Li, of course we believe you, but we believe in the facts more. People from the Procuratorate and the Taxation Bureau are coming in and out of the company. How do you want others to see it? There are rumors outside now, and we don't want to
The investment has turned into waste paper. After working together for so long, we finally have some feelings. I won’t hide it from you. Someone is willing to pay a high price to buy the shares in my hand, but I don’t agree to him. I think you can’t be like this as a human being. Even if you quit, you have to do it.
Take care of your own people first, so be it, and in three days we will publicly sell the shares in our name, and the one with the highest price will get it, so be it."
After saying that, the three directors picked up their bags and walked away. The other directors whispered for a while and then also left the conference room, leaving only Li Wan with an ashen face.
It is already obvious that the Zhicheng Group, which was founded and invested endless efforts, will become the target of the Great Development. Just an hour ago, Wei Ziqian told Li Wan that the Great Development has acquired President Dai.
With the 50 million loan personally signed and approved, coupled with Dakai's own funds, the acquisition of Zhicheng Group is definitely a piece of cake.
After many years of ups and downs, hardships, and even taking part in her husband's life, Zhicheng Group was created today. It can be said that the company is another child of Li Wan. His own child will be given away to others, no matter who it is.
Can't bear this kind of blow.
The door of the conference room was pushed open a crack, and a small head came in. It was my son Xiaocheng. He walked over with his chubby little hands and shouted in a sweet voice: "Mom, mom."
"
"Child, mother hugs you." Li Wan opened his arms and held his son tightly in his arms, pressing his cheek against his son's face, and two lines of hot tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Mom, don't cry, mom is good." Xiao Cheng said sensibly as he wiped away Li Wan's tears.
"Mom didn't cry, she just had bugs in her eyes. By the way, who brought you here?"
"It's dad." Xiao Cheng pointed at the figure in the corridor and said.
