Chapter 79: Defeating ten groups with one effort, saving time and effort (5000 words)
Unconsciously, the time has arrived in November.
Lu An has advanced the technical solution for solid-state lattice energy batteries to about 22% completion, and the company's development is also booming.
The new headquarters has confirmed the architectural design plan and has now begun to enter the actual construction stage. It will become a landmark building in the Hedong District and even the entire Jianing City.
The new headquarters is expected to be completed around 2016, and it will be ready to move to the new headquarters by then.
In addition, the construction of the super factory under its subsidiary Metaverse Manufacturing had already started when Lu An went to the military base last month.
The super factory is expected to be completed next year, that is, around October 2015, and will be put into operation by the end of the year.
Lu An previously negotiated with Jianing’s top leader Wu Hongsheng and acquired 2,000 acres of land. The current super factory covers an area of 300 acres, which is more than enough. The remaining 1,700 acres of land can be used to expand the second and third phases of the factory when production capacity needs to be expanded in the future.
Including the 500 acres of land acquired for the new headquarters, it has also been reserved.
Get the land first to facilitate future planning, and in a few years, land prices will soar sharply.
Handong District has now become a popular area in Jianing City. Funds and various city resources have begun to be tilted towards Hedong. The local citizens of Jianing City all know that Hedong District is the future.
Just last month, during the land auction in Jianing City, 7 plots of land were put up for bidding.
5 of them are in Hedong District, and are right around the new headquarters and super factory of Metaverse Intelligent Control. The sale of these 5 plots of land by Jianing City is the result of the supporting planning of the Hedong District area around Metaverse Intelligent Control.
These 5 pieces of land were also competed for by real estate developers. One of the 2 pieces of land in HX District failed to be auctioned, while all 5 pieces of land in Hedong District were auctioned, and the transaction price was about 47% more expensive than the piece of land sold in Hedong District.
Throughout the first half of the year, including the early part of the second half of the year, real estate developers were not very willing to acquire land.
Because the property market across the country was in a downturn at that time and faced huge pressure to destock, the events in Jianing City in the first half of the year also caused the property market to accelerate and plummet. Even the real estate speculators could not bear it and ran away.
It was not until the mid-to-late third quarter that we reached an inflection point. The property market began to pick up, housing prices began to strengthen, and Jianing City's economy also stabilized and recovered.
In order to stabilize and recover the economy in such a short period of time, Metaverse Intelligent Control has played the role of a fixing star and a ballast stone.
·The company pays its employees well, and its upstream contract manufacturers are also required to raise wages. In addition, the spin-off subsidiary Gigafactory has expanded its recruitment by 20,000 people.
Add it all together, which is equivalent to the creation of 40,000 to 50,000 high-paying jobs.
Because this group not only has the demand for home purchase, but also has strong purchasing power, real estate developers are looking at this group with dazzling eyes.
Now in November, the developer of the land has already completed the sandbox of the building and started pre-sales.
The opening price is 7,000 yuan/square meter, making it the most expensive house in Jianing City. It is 1,000 yuan more expensive than the average price in the core area of HX District. Moreover, the house price in HX District has now risen to 6,000 yuan/square meter.
As the economy picks up, rising housing prices are inevitable. This is an objective law of the development of a market economy.
If Jianing City can develop into a new first-tier metropolis in the future, with the population rising from less than three million now to tens of millions, then the housing prices in Jianing City will inevitably rise further.
At that time, the average property price will most likely rise to 20,000 yuan/square meter, and Hedong District will inevitably become the new urban area of Jianing, and it will be the core urban area, equivalent to the status of Pudong New District in Shanghai.
As long as it becomes a new first-tier metropolis with a population of tens of millions, it is normal for the average price of houses in prime locations in Jianing Hedong District to soar to 60,000 to 70,000 yuan per square meter.
Houses in prime locations in the city center must be the core assets of a city, and the price cannot be cheap.
Monday, November 10th.
At 10:30 in the morning, Lu An was in his office.
In the past two days, he has temporarily put down the technical development work at hand and is preparing to make decisions for the company to promote the layout of its own sales channels.
In addition to direct-operated stores, Lu An plans to include his good brother Qin Yiyun's Wanxiang Huitong into the sales system and give Wanxiang Huitong authorized stores, because Wanxiang Huitong has nearly a hundred chain supermarkets across the country and has relatively complete offline channels.
With the help of Wanxiang Huitong's offline channels, Metaverse Intelligent Control can quickly establish its own sales network.
The important thing is that Wanxiang Huitong is Qin Yiyun's company, so there is no need to worry about authorization. It is absolutely trustworthy and there is no need to worry about anything going wrong.
"Come in."
Hearing the knock on the door, Lu An responded and looked up, and it was Meng Qiuyan who walked in.
As soon as the door was closed, Meng Qiuyan turned around and walked towards Lu An: "Qin Yiyun's subordinate He Zhiyuan ran over to bring reinforcements and said that only you can help Qin Yiyun overcome this hurdle. Several other major shareholders of Wanxiang Huitong have joined forces to attack Qin Yiyun. Difficult."
Hearing this, Lu An was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, Meng Qiuyan sat down and continued: "According to what He Zhiyuan said, there is Pang Jing, the major shareholder of Wanxiang Huitong, who was originally standing. On Qin Yiyun's side, for unknown reasons, Pang Jing suddenly betrayed Qin Yiyun, and in turn joined forces with Qin Yiyun's opponents to launch an attack."
After a moment of pause, Meng Qiuyan added: "According to He Zhiyuan's speculation, this incident in Wanxiang Huitong has a lot to do with us."
Lu An looked at her and said, "Oh? It has something to do with us?"
Meng Qiuyan immediately said: "It should be related to Qin Yiyun's efforts to free up more than one billion funds to help us at any cost. My own speculation is that there should be more than just internal shareholders of Wanxiang Huitong, and there may be other external capital secretly involved."
"It may be to retaliate against us. They have no good way to use Yuanjie Intelligent Control, so they turn around to bully your brother."
"But I think the core reason that really motivates external capital to intervene in Wanxiang Huitong , It should be that Qin Yiyun holds 15% of the equity of Yuanjie Intelligent Control, which may be the core motivation for external capital forces to enter the game. "
Lu An nodded and approved Meng Qiuyan's analysis.
Meng Qiuyan looked at Lu An and said, "Whether it's related to us or not, we have to come to the rescue due to circumstances and reasons, and we can't just sit idly by."
Lu An said, "That's for sure, no doubt about it. That's it. , you go and book a flight for me tomorrow, and I will go directly to Feipeng City to handle this matter tomorrow.”
I originally planned to deploy my own sales channels, and to incorporate Wanxiang Huitong into the channel system, I have to take action.
Lu An thought about it and realized that it was probably his own decision that He Zhiyuan came to ask for help this time, rather than Qin Yiyun asking him to come.
Because Lu An knew his brother's character very well, if Qin Yiyun asked for help, he would definitely not let him go. He would just make a phone call.
I didn’t call personally, which means that the situation has not reached its worst yet.
At least Qin Yiyun felt that he could handle it, but it was just a little troublesome.
Since he couldn't solve the problem by himself, he would not be polite or coy. He would definitely call Lu An directly.
Just four words: My brother is in danger, help quickly!
Lu An also believed that his good brother didn't call. He could probably solve the crisis, but he didn't want to waste time and money waiting for Qin Yiyun to argue with his opponent.
He decided to take direct action and solve the trouble efficiently.
Integrate Wanxiang Huitong's offline channels as soon as possible and promote the sales network layout of Yuanjie Intelligent Control. He does not want to waste too much time on this issue.
In Lu An's eyes, time is the most precious thing.
The next day.
Lu An's flight arrived at Pengcheng Airport, and Qin Yiyun, who received the news, also came to the airport to pick him up.
As soon as the two met at the terminal, Qin Yiyun immediately asked: "Who told you? Is it Lao He?"
Hearing this, Lu An smiled and said: "You are a good subordinate, worthy of being treated as a confidant and can be reused."
Qin Yiyun said: "I knew it was him. In fact, it is not a big problem. Brother himself is It can be done. If I don’t have two brushes, I can be in the position of chairman now? I was kicked out by those old guys half a year ago.”
Lu An smiled and said, "Tell me about the situation."
"Tell me in the car." Qin Yiyun turned his head and signaled. The two of them drove towards a luxury car and got in. As the car drove away from the airport, Qin Yiyun gave Lu An a detailed explanation of the situation in the car.
Finally, Lu An couldn't help but say after listening: "I see--
The flashpoint of the conflict between the two parties was indeed the 15% controlling stake in Yuanjiezhi, but this shareholding was not directly held by Wanxiang Huitong. At the time, Qin Yiyun used a subsidiary of another affiliated company under his name to finance Metaverse Intelligent Control.
But the 5 million funds were indeed Wanxiang Huitong, but they were given to the affiliated company through a bridge, and then were used to finance Metaverse Intelligent Control.
So from a legal perspective, this 15% equity does not belong to Wanxiang Huitong. The affiliated company only owes 5 million yuan to Wanxiang Huitong. To put it bluntly, just return 5 million to Wanxiang Huitong and that's it.
When Qin Yiyun supported his brothers' entrepreneurship, he did not realize how valuable the equity of Yuanjie Intelligent Holdings was. He conducted so many nested operations just as a technical and disciplinary defensive method against the major shareholders of Wanxiang Huitong.
But all of them, including Qin Yiyun himself, did not expect that Yuanjie Intelligent Control would be so powerful.
Pang Jing’s major shareholders didn’t care at the time. After all, it was only 5 million, Qin Yiyun was the chairman, and the process was flawless.
But now, the 15% equity immediately became valuable.
Then, the major shareholders of Wanxiang Huitong were not happy.
They felt that the 15% controlling stake of Yuanjiezhi should belong to the assets of Wanxiang Huitong. As a result, there was no hair, which was equivalent to being owned by Qin Yiyun alone.
Furthermore, in order to help Yuanjie Intelligent Control cope with the crisis, Qin Yiyun did not hesitate to sell the core assets of Wanxiang Huitong at a low price.
In the end, nothing was gained.
This allowed Pang Jing and other major shareholders of Wanxiang Huitong to break through their defenses.
Lu An smiled and said: "Okay, let's play with those old guys and put a big hit on your hand. There is something."
Qin Yiyun waved his hand and said: "It was purely an accident, it was just an unintentional act. I just didn't expect you to be so fierce. At that time, I was thinking that you should be slower and thank God for not going bankrupt so quickly. In the end, I didn’t expect you to come up and take out a pair of king bombs, which shocked me, haha.”
Lu An said solemnly: “No matter what, the 15% equity is not in Wanxianghui. It would be much easier to do it under the public name. If Wanxiang Huitong holds this 15% equity, it will require a lot of bleeding to get them out, or they will just waste it with you, which is not a problem."
Hearing this, Qin Yiyun looked at Lu An and asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
Lu An said without thinking: "In that case, just let them get off the card table, pack up and get out."
The next Wednesday, Lu An accompanied Qin Yiyun to his company headquarters.
The two people had communicated privately yesterday about how to operate it.
Qin Yiyun arrived at the company and directly notified several major shareholders and directors such as Pang Jing and Nie Qidong to hold an internal meeting.
Lu An also attended the meeting.
At the meeting, Qin Yiyun directly proposed to buy back the shares of Wanxiang Huitong held by Pang Jing, Nie Qidong and others, and then let them resign,
Complete a complete separation from Wanxiang Huitong.
"The company's latest stock price is 6.15 yuan/share, with a total market value of about 2.9 billion. According to the current market price, I will give you a premium of about 50%." Qin Yiyun, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, looked around Pang Jing and others and said: "That is, according to the company's total price The total equity held by several major shareholders is about 37.5%, which is 1.5 billion based on a valuation of 4 billion.
Pang Jing looked at Qin Yiyun and said: "Yiyun——"
Qin Yiyun interrupted him directly and said with a smile: "Call me Mr. Qin, Chairman, thank you."
His words left Pang Jing speechless for a moment. Qin Yiyun's betrayal towards him was unforgivable and he could never go back.
Nie Qi, who was present at the meeting, said with a cold expression: "It's not because you want us to quit, we are willing to quit. Besides, Wanxiang Huitong's value is far more than 4 billion, and 1.5 billion wants us out? Send us away? Do you think it is possible?"
It is worth mentioning that in the past year or so, the market value of Wanxiang Huitong has fluctuated several times, like a roller coaster.
In May 2013 last year, Wanxiang Huitong's share price reached a record high of 19.88 yuan, with its market value at that time reaching 9.443 billion. Just one week later, Qin Yiyun's father died in a car accident, and the company's share price plummeted by half.
Then in June, the market index plummeted to a new low of 1849.65 points. Under the market explosion, Wanxiang Huitong's stock price fell further to 6.56 yuan, almost halving and then slashing.
It gradually stabilized after that. As the market index climbed, Wanxiang Huitong's stock price also slowly recovered.
Until the first half of this year, Metaverse Intelligent Control was borrowed by banks, causing a capital chain crisis. When Qin Yiyun learned of this, he sold the company's core assets at a low price to quickly free up 1.2 billion in liquid cash, and loaned it to Metaverse Intelligent Control to help relieve the crisis.
This incident caused Wanxiang Huitong’s stock price to plummet once again. The stock price reached a low of 4.39 yuan, a record low since its listing. At that time, the market value was only 2 billion.
In the following months, Wanxiang Huitong's share price fluctuated around the 5 yuan price point.
During this period, Metaverse Intelligent Control's bionic robotic arm products were very popular and became a hot new star in the technology circle. Metaverse Intelligent Control quickly became a unicorn company.
Just over two months ago in September, there was news in the market that Wanxiang Huitong was an angel investor of Metaverse Intelligent Control, owning 15% of the company’s equity.
As soon as the news came out, stock investors shouted, "Holy shit, it's a huge benefit, hurry up and buy it, hurry up, buy it." Wanxiang Huitong's stock price skyrocketed like crazy all the way and became a monster stock. It quickly soared to 11.92 yuan and the price doubled, reaching the position before the eight-day plunge.
It could have continued to rise, but something unexpected happened at this juncture.
It is reported that Wanxiang Huitong has not invested in Metaverse Intelligent Control. The 15% equity does not belong to Wanxiang Huitong, but is held by an affiliated company, namely another company under the name of Qin Yiyun.
Wanxiang Huitong just paid a sum of money to the affiliated companies to cross the bridge. When the stock investors saw it, they said that they were cheated, run, run!
Then, the stock price trend immediately turned sharply downward and plummeted unilaterally again.
As of today, the stock price has fallen to 6.15 yuan, down from 11.92 yuan, and is close to halving again.
Looking at the trend in the past year or so, the market value of Wanxiang Huitong has fluctuated greatly, like a roller coaster.
Hence said that at this moment, Qin Yiyun was constantly fighting with several major shareholders, but the other party still refused to give in.
As time passed, Lu An, who was silently attending the meeting, lost his patience. He immediately stood up and came to Qin Yiyun's side. He put his hands on the conference table, looked around at everyone and suddenly interrupted: "That's enough, what kind of trade talk are you talking about?"
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
With the exception of Qin Yiyun, the other participants looked at Lu An by mistake.
"I'll make the decision for my brother."
Lu An said and turned to glance at Qin Yiyun, who stood up as if he understood. Lu An also sat down at the chairman's seat politely. He looked around Pang Jing and others calmly. He said unhurriedly: "Two options. The first is what my brother just said, a premium of 4 billion, you can get out of here with 1.5 billion and leave the table; second, if you don't want to get off the table, fine, I'll just turn the table over."
Lu An turned to Qin Yiyun and said, "I will open another table for you when the time comes. It will be bigger and better than this one."
Qin Yiyun immediately said in harmony: "Brother, you have already said this. Any time I hesitate for a second is disrespectful to you. Just lift the table. It will save you trouble and trouble. I am too lazy to talk about it with them."
Obviously, Lu An chose the simplest, direct and crude method.
Hyperfighting, careful planning, tug-of-war with opponents, various fighting techniques, and fancy business wars are all, to put it bluntly, compromise-style gameplay, which only shows that one's own strength is insufficient.
When the real strength is in place, it is to defeat ten groups with one force.
Lu'an is no longer what it was a year ago. Yuanjie Intelligent Control has entered a stage of rapid expansion, with a cash flow of tens of billions, which has formed an overwhelming advantage for Wanxiang Huitong.
In this case, Lu An chose the most unpretentious operation, defeating ten enemies at once, saving time and effort.
What kind of bullshit merchant fighting methods and game-playing tactics are there? Just talk about my money making ability!
If the other party doesn't accept it, then just flip the table and make all shareholders of Wanxiang Huitong losers.
But Lu An can open a new table for his good brother, and he can get up quickly, but shareholders like Pang Jing and Nie Qidong have no one to open a table for them.
Lu An's operation is equivalent to overturning the Wanxiang Huitong ship, and then rescuing a good brother from the water and putting him on another ship.
Pang Jing and Nie Qidong had no one to fish them out, so they could only wait to be drowned.
After flipping the table, they couldn't even get the 1.5 billion, no money at all.
At this moment, Pang Jing, Nie Qidong and other people present at the meeting were directly on the spot.
