Chapter 169 Is it also a kind of negotiation?(1/2)
In many stories, whenever the protagonist finds a handle to his opponent, he can make the other party tremble and obey, and he wishes he could work as a cattle and horse from now on. It's a great word.
Unfortunately, in reality, people die for money and birds die for food. When everything in the world is entangled by capital, no matter how simple the matter is, it will become difficult.
The clues about the embezzlement of public funds by Lin Changgeng, Vice President He Yunsheng and other senior executives' joint suppliers were sent to Gu Yun's mobile phone last night.
However, it's almost impossible to let them quit their jobs automatically.
Because Gu Yun speculated that the corruption facts of Lin Changgeng and others were probably also under the control of Cheng Yu's old opponents. Now both sides hold their handles, and the pressure that can be exerted on them is basically the same at this point.
I believe that Lin Changgeng and others should have already obtained the news of being investigated from the supplier. Now the chrysanthemums must be tightly stormed walnuts and are trembling.
But you may not necessarily listen to Gu Yun and resign obediently.
The key is that the board of directors of the Guzhen Development Company is not in the hands of Cheng Xueqing, but in the hands of Cheng Yu's old rival headed by "Changyin Capital".
In this case, the former management would first worry that once they resign, "Changyin Capital" would retaliate and immediately request the board of directors to conduct a resignation audit. Then their crimes would be exposed and they would wait to go to jail.
So resigning does not guarantee their safety, so why do they want to resign?
Secondly, some of them may believe that as long as they hold on to the big tree of "Changyin Capital", the board of directors will protect them and let them get ashore safely through various means - this possibility exists. After all, they are in charge of accounts, suppliers and all resources, and the board of directors is in charge of veto power. Even if Cheng Xueqing calls the police on the grounds that the interests of major shareholders are infringed, they may work together to turn big things into small things - in short, they will definitely not thoroughly auditing to expose the seriousness of all crimes.
So Gu Yun had to do one thing, which was to temporarily allow Cheng Xueqing to obtain an alliance with more than 5% of the voting rights on the board of directors to control the board of directors.
In this way, as long as Cheng Xueqing and the alliance promised that the former management would resign, they would no longer pursue the matter, and then Lin Changgeng and others would naturally resign and go ashore.
Of course, this is also what Gu Yun must do in the future if he wants to control the ancient town, but he just got it a little bit ahead of time.
There is a small problem now, that is, the high-level meeting will be held in the afternoon. If you think about letting these people leave obediently, Gu Yun will only have one morning to operate.
In just one morning, you have to instigate a director to join the alliance with Cheng Xueqing. Moreover, most of the directors are not in the ancient town or even in Binhai, and you can't even meet them - high-level meetings are not board of directors, and it is normal for them to not be present.
It sounds like this is not something that normal people can do.
But Gu Laogou is not a normal person at all, so this amount of rhubarb can be used as a testimony.
The equity structure of the Guzhen Development Company is a bit complicated. Cheng Xueqing holds Cheng Yu's equity on behalf of others accounts for 45%, Changyin Capital accounts for 20%, Dachu Development accounts for 18%, Zhonghe Holdings accounts for 10%, and Binhai Venture Capital accounts for 7% - these information are all public and can be found by checking online.
It is obvious that Cheng Xueqing occupies 45% of the equity but still cannot control the board of directors. It can only mean that Changyin Capital, Dachu Development, Zhonghe Holdings and Binhai Venture Capital formed an alliance.
Interestingly, these investors still valued them even though they knew that the management had problems, and even encouraged them to go against Cheng Xue, and they would not hesitate to destroy the project and not let Cheng Xueqing save it.
Capital often does things that are incomprehensible, but Gu Yun is not surprised.
In his opinion, behind this seemingly absurd logic, there must be a deeper game.
As one of the major shareholders of Dingchen Group, Changyin Capital has wanted to kick off its founder Cheng Yu in recent years, and it is no secret that it completely controls Dingchen's ambition.
Gu Yun speculated that the reason they wanted to stop Cheng Xueqing from saving the Guzhen Company was because there might be some kind of betting contract hidden behind it.
Once Cheng Xueqing saves the Ancient Town Company, Changyin Capital's interests in Dingchen Group may be damaged. In comparison, it is reasonable that this ancient town project with an investment of only a few hundred million yuan will be abandoned by Changyin.
Dingchen is a super group of 100 billion yuan. Whoever controls it is the real boss.
After sorting out these things, Gu Yun can find Cheng Xueqing's potential alliance.
Changyin, Dachu and Zhonghe are all shareholders of Dingchen Group. The three companies have always joined forces to deal with Cheng Yu. This is a strategic consensus for them. It is obviously impossible to disagree with them with a small ancient town project.
But Binhai Venture Capital, which holds a 7% stake, is different.
You can tell by the name that this is an investment company based in Binhai.
Many foreign major projects like to find some capital in the local area, not for their little money, but rather value their identity as a "local snake" - these capitals are often very resourceful locally, and it is much easier to deal with with their investments, such as demolition, approvals, and public relations, etc.
Gu Yun is almost 100% sure that Binhai Venture Capital, which has no interest disputes with Dingchen Group, must have been allowed to participate in the investment for this reason.
But why is Binhai Venture Capital also willing to watch the project lose money or even go bankrupt?
The answer is simple, Changyin Capital must have promised them other benefits.
The actual investment of the ancient town is only 750 million yuan, and even Binhai Venture Capital invested 7% of the investment, it is only 50 million yuan. Changyin doesn't see this amount of money at all. Perhaps he has promised to help Binhai Venture Capital to provide the bottom line even if the project fails, and even pay them interest and subsidies. In this way, Binhai Venture Capital, which is worried about losing money, is not surprising to follow Changyin from now on.
Gu Yun could guess such a trick without even thinking about it.
To be humbly, no one knows capital better than Gu Laogou after playing for 100,000 years.
If I don’t say humbly, those capitalists who are good at teaching are as young as children who have just put on school uniforms and started dancing the eighth set of radio gymnastics in front of Gu Laogou.
So, now Cheng Xueqing's alliance has been found, that is Binhai Venture Capital.
Gu Yun felt that Binhai Venture Capital was just for the sake of that little stinky money. After all, what relationship could they have with their separation? And if he could give Binhai Venture Capital something different, it must be that he could make a fuss.
On the other hand, Binhai Venture Capital can also give itself some useful things, so the alliance between the two parties is simply a scumbag with green tea, a turtle with mung beans, just right.
Well, Binhai Venture Capital is a turtle.
...
Gu Yun took a taxi to the office building of the project department of the Guzhen Development Company and went directly to Cheng Xueqing's office.
Cheng Xueqing sat behind the wide pear blossom table, holding a document in her hand, looking down at it with her head and focused. She must have had her hair newly repaired, which is much shorter than before, about the length of her shoulders, but it looks cleaner and neat. With her already delicate and three-dimensional facial features and serious expression, she is indeed a picturesque look.
Gu Yun sat down on the sofa opposite her, then picked up the kettle on the coffee table and poured himself a cup of tea.
Cheng Xueqing raised her head when she heard the movement. Seeing that it was Gu Yun, she couldn't help but wonder if this guy thought it was his home, so she came in quietly to make tea for him?
Sometimes she really can't understand how a high school student has such a thick-skinned face, just like a little scoundrel?
Is Wei Xiaobao?
"The car has been repaired, and the rear of the car is basically remade." Cheng Xueqing raised her head, looked at Gu Yun with beautiful eyes, and said deliberately, "The car is at least 10%. Do you have to bear the money?"
"How many?"
"10%, it's only 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. Boss Gu must not care." Cheng Xueqing put down the documents in her hand and said coldly, "The surveillance monitor shows that you seemed to have bumped into it on purpose?"
"Huh~~~~~ Say, Say," Gu Yun calmly took a sip of tea, and then said, "If I tell you that I deliberately bumped into it to help you, do you believe it?"
Cheng Xueqing looked out the window speechlessly, then turned around and said, "If I say, I'm happy to be able to bump into it, do you believe it?"
Gu Yun thought about it very seriously and said, "Then otherwise, I believe in you, okay? Is it good that you believe in me? This is called mutual political trust, so that we can cooperate and win-win."
Cheng Xueqing felt that her blood pressure was about to rise again, and she wanted to smash the cup in front of her.
This... is also a negotiation?
Still have political mutual trust? I believe you, a big-headed ghost!
It’s also strange. When you see this rogue, your temper seems to become very bad?
Actually, it’s not surprising. Usually, the boys around her are too late to be nice to her. Who would just want to be angry with a beautiful woman like her if she is fine?
But Gu Laogou doesn't care, he wants her to hate him anyway.
For Cheng Xueqing, Gu Yun was like a husky suddenly popping out of a group of licking dogs, jumping up and down in various ways. Not only did he bit her leather sofa, but he also asked her if the sponge on the sofa was very tempting and whether to bite them together. How about you from that end and I met in the middle?
Cheng Xueqing was able to resist her outburst, but she had a good temper - after all, even a girl as gentle as Su Xiao always beats Gu Yun, and sometimes even wants to find a clothes hanger to beat her.
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Xueqing finally endured it. After all, she still has the request for Yu Gu Yun.
But she decided that when the cooperation was over, she would no longer want to see him, even for a second.
And Cheng Dalei is strictly forbidden to contact him. If Cheng Dalei learns his scoundrel, he may have to kill his brother!
"I won't talk about this." Cheng Xueqing decisively changed the topic and said, "You seem to have said that at the full-time senior management meeting this afternoon, all the former management team will resign?"
"Yeah, I said it." Gu Yun put down the teacup and asked, "Yesterday I asked you to have an appointment with Boss Huang of Binhai Venture Capital. Have you made an appointment?"
"I made an appointment, but he was not available." Cheng Xueqing said lightly, "We couldn't talk to each other at first. He is from Changyin Capital... You don't know many things about this company, and of course there is no need to know."
Gu Yun frowned, "Your major shareholder and president invite him, but he doesn't even send a representative here? After all, he is a boss with a net worth of more than one billion. It's impossible for him to be so ignorant, right?"
Cheng Xueqing is behind Cheng Yu. Gu Yun believes that Boss Huang cannot not know. According to reason, even if he does not stand on Cheng Xueqing's side, at least he should send a representative here, which can be regarded as giving Cheng Yu face.
Those who can get involved in this circle and reach this point are all human beings. How could Boss Huang have such a low EQ and insist on shaking a completely breakup with the Cheng Yu family?
What a fucking thing? Isn't you afraid of getting angry Cheng Yu? When he gets rid of Changyin Capital, come and deal with him?
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, Cheng Xueqing said, "The representative is here, the vice president of their company."
Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He was still thinking right, but he was sending someone to come.
Although he is only the vice president, it is expected.
So he asked, "Where are people?"
"Drinking tea in the tea room." Cheng Xueqing looked at Gu Yun with some confusion, "What are you looking for a vice president under Boss Huang to do?"
Gu Yun smiled indifferently, "Isn't it okay to talk to him about life and ideals?"
Cheng Xueqing sighed, not wanting to talk to Gu Yun very much.
"Okay, then you go and have a chat, I wish you a happy chat."
...
Gu Yun left Cheng Xueqing's office and soon arrived at the tea room.
In the tea room, Cheng Dalei was drinking tea with a middle-aged man about forty years old, thin and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Seeing Gu Yun come in, Cheng Dalei hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Gu, you are here."
Then he pointed to the man with glasses and said, "Let me introduce this person, Mr. Li Changhai, Binhai, and Mr. Li of Binhai Venture Capital."
After introducing, he pointed to Gu Yun again and said, "Mr. Li, this is Gu Yun, the only designated successor of the five generations of food families I just mentioned to you."
