"If no one objects, the dividend plan will be passed and we will continue to consider the next item." Sun Xu said.
Naturally, no one objected to this, and Sun Xu then dropped a bombshell.
He said: "Now the company's products are doing very well in the market. We have a lot of production orders scheduled, but the factory's current production capacity is so large that we simply can't produce it."
Sun Xu showed the market sales data, sales volume and subsequent order arrangements so that everyone in the room could see clearly. He said: "I plan to build a new factory to increase production capacity...
"
Xia Zekai raised his hands in agreement and said, "I agree."
Li Bolin, Ren Fengyan, and Xu Juntao also said after Xia Zekai finished voting: "Agree!"
Zheng Zhongsong spoke hesitantly and asked: "How to solve the financial problem?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fangren also asked: "Investing in building a new factory is no joke. In addition, in terms of equipment, the investment can easily reach hundreds of millions. Kelan Chemical's current operating conditions have indeed improved, but
The time is too short, and apart from the normal funds available for operation, there is not much remaining funds.”
Su Zhaobo also nodded and said: "One more thing, the chemical raw materials market is indeed very good now, but who can guarantee that it will still be like this in a year? It will take at least half a year to build a new chemical plant, and there will be some troubles in the middle.
, it may only take a year, what if there is a new downward cycle by then?"
Hearing what he said, Lu Baoheng, who had not yet spoken, also hesitated a little. He stopped back and forth between the two sides, not knowing which way to lean to?
The remaining big ones in the room listened quietly and had no right to speak at all.
The shares they hold are too few, and their opinions will rarely be adopted.
Sun Xu looked at the two distinct camps and felt a little headache.
This is the case in the chemical industry. When encountering cyclical adjustments, they watch their assets shrink more and more day by day. They feel like they are being cut off, and feel very distressed.
Zheng Zhongsong, Xu Fang and Su Zhaobo are worried, which is normal.
When he was thinking about how to break the situation, Xia Zekai, who had not spoken much since he came in, suddenly raised his hand and attracted everyone's attention. He asked: "I don't know how long the cycle of the chemical industry is, but there is one thing I
Clearly, doing business is like marching to war. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. If you stand still, you will wait for death.”
"You are unwilling to go further, expand production, and take risks, but your competitors are willing to take this step. If we stay in our comfort zone, we may be beaten to death by our opponents at any time."
"Think about it, everyone, because our market has been squeezed repeatedly because there is not enough supply, how can we still have room for survival? If the company cannot develop, how can we still make money?"
"I can give you an example. Since 2009, I have been on the road of buying land, building factories, increasing production, acquiring factories, and increasing production, and it has never stopped."
"My company's revenue has gone from RMB 50 million a year to now exceeding RMB 500 million a month at any time. If I had stayed in my comfort zone, do you think I would be able to reach the scale I am now?"
"The amount of bonuses I paid to my employees this year is comparable to my total revenue in the first year. If I hadn't repeatedly expanded production capacity to meet market demand, I believe I wouldn't be qualified to sit here and chat with everyone at the same table."
"It only took me three years to do this!"
"Guys, I'm not trying to persuade you, I'm just stating a fact. If you don't make progress, you will be beaten." Xia Zekai said in a calm tone.
He said: "As for the funding problem, I never thought this would be a problem. We can find a bank loan to solve it."
Hearing what he said, Sun Xu also said: "Okay."
Lu Baoheng said: "But banks stopped lending us money before."
"Yes, Mr. Lu is right. The bank did not grant us loans before, but now, the bank is begging us for loans, these grandsons!" Sun Xu became angry when he thought of this.
But he still needs money now.
Xia Zekai smiled. He knew the virtues of banks very well, and continued: "If you don't mind, you can also bring in external funds."
Several people in the conference room subconsciously rejected this plan in their hearts.
They were thinking that letting you in in the first place was already the last resort.
Now it's not like last time that the funds have dried up, grandma doesn't care, and uncle doesn't love me anymore.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that funds are no longer a problem, and many things will be convenient from now on.
Zheng Zhongsong thought about what Xia Zekai just said, and he didn't understand anything: "I agree!"
As soon as he 'rebelled', Xu Fang, Su Zhaobo and others stopped insisting and said: "Agree!"
This proposal was passed again under the witness of everyone.
However, Xia Zekai still mentioned, 'Why not consider acquiring a factory.'
Sun Xu said: "The equipment and scale are not that suitable. It would be better to build a factory by ourselves."
Gu Xu
"However, if we meet the right situation, we will also consider acquiring the factory."
…
Kelan Chemical's shareholders' meeting lasted from the morning of the 6th to around 4 p.m.
In the meantime, they ate at the restaurant in the factory, and in the afternoon went over the remaining plans that needed to be voted on at the meeting.
After finally waiting until it was over, Secretary Zhang Han recorded all the approved plans one by one. After she sorted it out, she asked Sun Xu to look over it again, and then rushed to make an announcement tomorrow.
"Oh, it's finally over. If it hadn't only been opened a few times a year, I would have wanted to quit my shares and go home to live in peace and quiet." Li Bolin, the oldest among the people, stood up, stretched, and babbled.
.
After Xu Fang heard about it, she immediately said to him: "Lao Li, if you still want to be a man and keep your word, then retreat now, or else don't say anything and make people look down on you."
Li Bolin was blocked directly in front of him, and he was choked with panic.
But having a verbal argument with a bitch was a bit of a disgrace to my reputation, so I just stopped talking.
When other people saw this scene, they felt happy.
Everyone present had a comment. Who didn't know that Kelan Chemical was making a desperate counterattack and was starting to make a lot of money. If you chose to quit at this time, wouldn't it be a brain problem?
Sun Xu said at the right time: "Everyone, if you all have time in the evening, let's get together."
"Brother Sun, I have been looking forward to this meal since morning!" Xia Zekai said.
Hearing what he said, several people around him couldn't help laughing, thinking that Xia Zekai was quite easy to talk to.
…
In Beijing, after Toutiao was officially released, Zhang Yiming and the others kept staring at the background data from the morning until the afternoon, and refreshed it several times after a while, hoping that there would be a big explosion in the download data of Toutiao on the first day.
.
But even if there is promotion through various channels, data reflection will always take a period of time.
In addition, Toutiao is a new mobile product with no reputation and its specific functions are not very clear. It is difficult for most netizens to accept a new mobile product without knowing what it does in the first place.
.
It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Zhang Yiming took a look at today's cumulative total downloads, which was only 135,000.
Speaking of which, this data is quite a lot, but if you compare it with its publicity channels, including Weibo, Sina, Tencent, etc., then this data is a bit unreliable.
Zhang Yiming sighed, knowing that he was a little anxious. He finally told everyone: "Go and work first, and we will check the situation tomorrow."
The others wanted to say something, but seeing the calm expression on their face, Mr. Zhang, they didn't say anything more.
Zhang Yiming returned to his office. He was sitting in his chair and meditating, thinking about how to make "Today's Toutiao" popular, but this was very difficult.
"Dang Dang!"
Someone knocked on the door, and Zhang Yiming shouted: "Who is it, come in!"
What Zhang Yiming didn't expect was that Wang Qiong came in. She was holding a small handbag and looked like she had just come from the devil's capital.
"Why is Mr. Wang here?"
"Didn't you tell me that Toutiao will be launched today? As a shareholder of the company, I must come and take a look."
"Mr. Wang, sit down quickly." Zhang Yiming felt a little moved when he heard what she said, and quickly pointed to the empty chair opposite and asked her to sit down.
Wang Qiong looked at the expression on Zhang Yiming's face that was not very happy. She asked: "Mr. Zhang, the data on the first day were not very good?"
"The total downloads of 135,000 are a little worse than expected," he said.
Wang Qiong was surprised when she heard this data. She said: "Mr. Zhang, isn't this very good? When many mobile products were first launched, they only had a few hundred or thousands of downloads. On the first day of Toutiao, there were
With a cumulative download volume of more than 100,000, this data is already very good.”
"But our investment is even greater." Zhang Yiming deliberately emphasized.
Wang Qiong sighed and said, "No matter how much you invest, Toutiao is just a new product and there are no other channels to attract traffic. Your requirements for it are too harsh."
Zhang Yiming was scolded by Wang Qiong, and he knew in his heart that his demands were too high, but when he thought about how successful Yixing was now, he wished he could speed up his time and make Toutiao better.
"Mr. Zhang, I think you should calm down and make Toutiao a good product. As long as the product itself is good enough, you won't be afraid that no one will use it."
"On the contrary, your current state is abnormal. You cannot calm down, and your judgment on the market lacks sensitivity, fairness and objectivity. You are likely to lose your mind when making decisions. Mr. Zhang, I
Personally, I suggest you have a meal and take a good rest now, and don't put too much pressure on yourself." Wang Qiong finally advised him.
