725 In Business, Xia Zekai Is Not A Philanthropist (3/5)
After the first call, the phone kept beeping and not getting connected.
Xia Zekai wondered if the other party was busy?
After a while, he called him a second time. This time the call was connected, but a woman answered the call. Xia Zekai recognized it immediately. This was the one Sun Xu brought over to dinner that night.
female secretary.
"Is this Boss Xia? I'm Shi Rui. Director Sun is holding an impromptu meeting. He was in a hurry just now and forgot to bring his mobile phone." Shi Rui explained, and then said: "Boss Xia, do you have anything urgent? I'll tell you.
Say something to Mr. Sun."
"Oh, so that's it. Then do you know how long it will take Brother Sun to finish the meeting?" Xia Zekai asked casually.
Shi Rui didn't know either, so she said it truthfully: "Boss Xia, how about this? I'll ask Director Sun to come back to you after the meeting, okay?"
"Okay, then tell him that I'll wait for his call." After Xia Zekai finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Xia Zekai found it interesting that this female secretary actually dared to answer Sun Xu's call. This time, he was more sure that their previous guesses were correct. There must be something going on between Sun Xu and this female secretary...
But having said that, after people have a lot of money, there are many people who eat from the bowl and look at the pot. This kind of thing does not distinguish between men and women.
"What do I need to worry about? Just live your life well." Xia Zekai was happy himself. He leaned on his boss's chair, slowly squinted his eyes, and rested for a while.
In the past two days, my body has been severely depleted. I was so tired that I fell into a deep sleep as soon as I lay down.
Someone seemed to have knocked on the door during this period, but no one was there, and Xia Zekai didn't pay attention.
Xia Zekai fell asleep in a daze until he heard the ringtone of an incoming phone call, interrupting Xia Zekai's sweet dream. He was thinking about who could be so careless in his eyes.
Touching his phone, he saw the word 'Sun Xu' floating on the screen. Xia Zekai answered the call: "Brother, are you done with the meeting?"
"Well, it just finished. Brother Xia, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Sun Xu explained it himself again: "I just came back and heard Xiao Shi say that you called me in the morning. I'm so sorry. I was in a hurry to have a meeting in the morning and forgot to bring my mobile phone."
Listening to his hoarse voice, you can feel his fatigue. Xia Zekai thought about how tired he was!
But it’s already afternoon?
Xia Zekai was also surprised that he slept for such a long time.
"Brother, what happened?" Xia Zekai glanced at the clock in the office. It was already past two o'clock, good guy!
Sun Xu coughed twice, and then heard the sound of drinking water. After a while, Sun Xu said again: "To be honest, brother Xia, it's still because of money."
He said: "We have a big family and a big business, and the daily expenses are not a small amount. I also have a headache."
Xia Zekai smiled: "Brother, I called you just to tell you this. My financial calculations have been completed. There is no problem in spending 50 million..."
He made a discount before speaking. There were clearly more than 300 million left in his bank card, but he only quoted one-sixth.
Moreover, this money belongs to Xia Zekai himself and has nothing to do with Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. itself.
Hearing what Xia Zekai said, Sun Xu was happy. He laughed and said, "Brother, I, Sun Xu, owe you a favor."
"By the way, which option do you choose?" Sun Xu remembered something and asked quickly.
Not surprisingly, Xia Zekai chose the second option he mentioned initially, which was to issue a portion of additional shares to raise special funds to help the company tide over the difficulties.
"Brother, as of yesterday's closing price of Kelan's shares was 28.5 yuan, and today's intraday price is 28.94 yuan, I will give you a fixed increase according to yesterday's closing price, how about it?" Sun Xu was not playing tricks, and Ke Lan was
The current share price of the stock is clearly stated.
He expressed his displeasure at the share price of Kelan shares.
But Xia Zekai is really not a philanthropist. After hearing this, he said directly: "Brother Sun, in business terms, this price is still too high."
"Judging from the current market situation, we don't know where the bottom is, but I think another 20% decline should be no problem." Xia Zekai was not merciless at all when he bargained for prices.
At this time, the relationship between elder brother and younger brother was all forgotten.
But if Xia Zekai's price was another 20%, it would be more than 23 yuan per share, which is equivalent to more than 5 yuan per share. When Sun Xu heard this price, his heart was bleeding.
"Brother Xia, it's too low. This price is impossible. I might as well find a way to get a bank loan." Sun Xu said.
You couldn't tell whether his words were true or false, and Xia Zejiang wasn't sure either, but he was not in a hurry.
He said: "Brother, you have been in the chemical industry for so many years, and you should know better than a layman like me. Now that the chemical industry is in a cyclical downturn, I am taking a lot of risks by lending you money at this time. You can't let me
Just take all the risks."
"But your price is too low, it really doesn't work!" Sun Xu kept insisting that the price was too low and refused to let go.
Xia Zekai smiled and said, "I'll add a little more, and let's make it up. At the price of 25 yuan per share, I'll buy 100 million, is that enough?"
This amount is 50 million more than the amount Xia Zekai just told him. This 100 million yuan is too attractive to Sun Xu.
Even if the price Xia Zekai gave is a discount of more than 13% from today's valuation, only by getting the money can the company turn around and develop.
Without money, the company will not be able to turn around, and the stock price will continue to decline, and we don’t know when it will end.
It is very likely that we will encounter a black swan at the next moment. At that time, it will fall to the limit, and then it will fall again the next day, and it will fall by 17 or 18 points.
At that time, it may be even lower than Xia Zekai's quotation. This is all uncertain. Who can guarantee that it will not happen?
Sun Xu pondered for a long time and then said: "Brother Xia, I am very grateful for your generosity, but this matter is not my own business. I have to discuss it with other shareholders and give you an answer later."
"No problem, Brother Sun can go and discuss it, but Brother Sun also knows that the market of Big A is unpredictable and there is no guarantee at all. It is very likely that you will experience a large-scale decline at any time. This is all uncertain.
Regarding the matter, I personally think it would be better for Brother Sun to make up his mind as soon as possible." Xia Zekai said sincerely.
Sun Xu had a wry smile on his face, how could he not know that what Xia Zekai said was true.
Watching the company's stock price drop from 67 yuan per share to the current 28.9 yuan per share, it has dropped 57%. But at this price, it still doesn't mean that it has reached the bottom. Sun Xu's heart is not just
Bleeding.
But he knows better that the prerequisite for the stock price to recover is to run the company well. Once the game is put to good use and the turnover increases, the valuation will naturally be reflected in the capital market.
Therefore, the top priority is to get the money so that the company can have working capital. This is the key point.
He said: "Okay, I will give Brother Xia an answer as soon as possible."
"Then I'll wait for news from Brother Sun." Xia Zekai said.
At Kelan Shares, the company's major shareholders had just finished their meeting and returned to their offices to drink water and rest. Before they could take their bags and leave, the chairman called again, saying that Sun
Dong summoned everyone to meet again to discuss major issues.
"Why are you opening it again? It's not over yet. If you can't raise the money, why don't you go to the bank and borrow it? If you don't tell him, I won't be able to get the extra money." Zheng Zhongsong, one of the shareholders, complained irritably.
There is another person on his side who is also a shareholder of the company, his surname is Li, and his name is Li Bolin.
Hearing Zheng Zhongsong's complaint, he also nodded: "Old Zheng, who's to say he's not here, but you still have to give Lao Sun some face. Let's go. Let's go over and see what tricks he is playing this time."
"Okay, I'm thinking of having some drinks together tonight, and I don't know how long I'll be busy today." Zheng Zhongsong muttered, and went to the conference room with Li Bolin.
After the two of them came over, there were already five people here, three men and two women, plus the two of them, there were seven people.
"Oh, Mr. Sun hasn't come here yet." Zheng Zhongsong asked knowingly.
One of the women in the conference room was named Xu Fang. She frowned and said, "Mr. Zheng, just wait a minute. Why are you so angry?"
"I haven't had lunch yet. It's almost time for dinner now. I've been leaning here. When will it be over?" Zheng Zhongsong immediately responded.
Xu Fang stopped talking, but Ren Fengyan next to her suddenly said: "Mr. Zheng, everyone is doing it for the good of the company and so that the property in our hands will no longer depreciate. There is no bad intention. Now the company's stock price has been falling again and again. What will happen tomorrow?"
It may be lower, but you can still eat?"
After that, before it was over, Ren Fengyan continued: "Even if you can eat it, will you enjoy it?"
"Isn't it that Director Sun summoned us together to solve the company's problems?"
Listening to what Ren Fengyan said, Li Bolin raised his hand to hold down Zheng Zhongsong who was still talking, and motioned him to stop saying a few words. Why should a grown man be serious with a woman at this time?
He said: "Mr. Ren is right. Everyone calmly sits down and thinks of a way to get the company through the difficulties first and let the stock price go up. The stocks in our hands will become more valuable and everyone will be better off."
"Boss Li is right, just wait a little longer, Director Sun should be here soon." Another thin shareholder named Xu Juntao said.
Just as he was talking, Sun Xu came in. Seeing that everyone in the conference room had arrived, he said, "I'm disturbing everyone again. The meeting will be over later. I'll make arrangements tonight. I want to eat tonight."
whatever."
"Sure, Mr. Sun, we've settled on it." Lu Baoheng readily agreed.
"Old Sun, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I have been in meetings since the morning, and I didn't even bother to eat at noon. I really can't hold it anymore." Su Zhaobo, the only fat man in the conference room, said.
He looks fat and big-eared, and his face is oily and shiny, so you can't tell his specific age.
When everyone calmed down, Sun Xu said straight to the point: "Let's put it this way, I found the money."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet conference room immediately exploded.
Everyone looked at him one after another.
The impatient Zheng Zhongsong said: "I said, Lao Sun, this is boring. We were still having a meeting last night to discuss how to get money. We just finished the meeting for half an hour. Are you going to tell us now that we got the money?"
"That's right, Lao Zheng is right, Director Sun, this is no joke, how come it is so fast?" Even Xu Fang was stunned. She was still thinking about how to solve the company's problems so that she could get rid of the problem as soon as possible.
The stocks were of equal value, but they didn’t expect that Sun Xu suddenly called them together and said that he had obtained the money. Isn’t this just teasing them?
Sun Xu took a deep breath and ignored the messy conference room. He stretched out five fingers and said: "Fifty million to one hundred million. No surprise, the other party is willing to spend so much money to help us tide over the difficulties."
Compared to a company with a market value of nearly 5 billion yuan, it can't even get tens of millions of yuan out at this time. If this was told, how many would believe it?
"Who?" Lu Baoheng asked after everyone calmed down after the excitement.
Sun Xu smiled and said: "Lao Lu, calm down. The other person is Xia Zekai from Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. I believe everyone here has heard of it."
"Are you talking about Boss Xia?" Ren Fengyan asked first.
Seeing Sun Xu nodding, Ren Fengyan flashed a smile and asked, "If it's Boss Xia, he might actually be able to come up with the money."
"I remembered, is it the same boss Xia who accepted the city government's 'Top Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs' award with Sun Dong last month?" Li Bolin asked.
"It's him." Sun Xu nodded happily and said, "Originally, I asked him to borrow money before the Lantern Festival, but Boss Xia never gave me a reply. I thought he would not lend us money.
Yes, I didn’t take him into consideration during the morning meeting.”
At this point, his tone changed again, and he continued: "But when I went back from the meeting just now, Boss Xia called me. He said that he could lend us 50 million to 100 million, but this money
It’s not borrowed in vain.”
"No one will borrow such a large amount of money in vain. Mr. Sun, tell me, what are Boss Xia's conditions?" Xu Juntao was quite reasonable.
Hearing his question, several other people also looked at Sun Xu, wanting to hear what conditions Xia Zekai proposed.
Then I heard Sun Xu say: "What I mean is this. This time we will issue part of the private additional shares to Boss Xia and raise 100 million yuan."
This method of raising funds is also a routine operation method used by listed companies after they run out of money, and it will not cause any fuss.
What's more, the current situation of Kelan Shares is that after borrowing such a large amount of funds, they may not necessarily have the money to pay them back. When the agreed period expires and there is no money to pay back, they will still be dumbfounded.
Converting the borrowed money into a private placement of shares perfectly solves the problem of repaying the debt and also generates a huge amount of cash flow. This operation is perfect.
"Dr. Sun, how about a fixed increase at the current price?" Zheng Zhongsong asked.
When several other shareholders heard what he said, they all looked at Sun Xu, expecting him to tell the result.
But Sun Xu did not directly nod in agreement this time.
Instead, he said: "Boss Xia means a fixed increase at a discount, otherwise, he can only take out 50 million."
"Fifty million? We will have to borrow money again after a while. Who still has money?" Li Bolin saw more clearly and said, "Dr. Sun, how much discount does Boss Xia have to give before he is willing to lend out this 100 million?"
