Chapter 228 Shareholders Meeting
Qin Zhengguo arrived, and all of Song Yuanchao's friends were present. This was the first time that everyone had gathered together, and everyone was very happy to see each other again after such a long separation.
That evening, Song Yuanchao hosted a special dinner and went to Ou Aimin's house for a delicious seafood meal. Everyone was amazed at the seafood. Not to mention the freshness of the seafood, the size was far beyond what can be seen in later generations. Each person had a crab weighing more than a pound, as well as abalone, grouper, yellow croaker and many other kinds of fish. They ate it to their heart's content with the wine.
Ou Aimin originally wanted to treat Song Yuanchao to the meal, but Song Yuanchao still insisted on paying for it, but at Ou Aimin's insistence he only charged him the cost.
After a seafood dinner, everyone had a good rest that night. The next day, August 24th, after breakfast, everyone gathered in the conference room on the second floor.
Shenghua Company was originally just the name of a company proposed by Song Yuanchao. However, it was impossible to establish a company at that time. The so-called company was only on paper. A private agreement was signed by Song Yuanchao, Li Daqi, Qin Zhengguo and Gu Jie to confirm this matter.
But now, Shenghua Company has become a real company. After Qin Zhengguo went to Hong Kong, he officially completed the registration of the company. And because of Ying Caixia's joining, the company's shareholders increased from four to five, and their shares were also adjusted.
The current shareholding structure of Xiangjiang Shenghua Co., Ltd. has changed from the original 55% held by Song Yuanchao and 15% each held by the other three. After the formal registration, Song Yuanchao's 55% stake in Xiangjiang Shenghua Co., Ltd. was adjusted to 45%, Li Daqi and Gu Jie's shares were adjusted from 15% to 12%, Ying Caixia's share ratio was 10%, and the remaining 21% was owned by Qin Zhengguo.
Although on the surface Song Yuanchao lost absolute controlling rights due to this share distribution ratio, he did not care about it and made adjustments based on actual conditions. He also took Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia into consideration, and thus gained everyone's consent.
After all, Qin Zhengguo was the only one in Hong Kong, and as the actual person in charge of Xiangjiang Shenghua, it was natural for him to increase his original share ratio, which also belonged to the management shares. As for Ying Caixia, Song Yuanchao originally intended to give her a ratio equal to that of Li Daqi and Gu Jie, but Ying Caixia refused.
In Ying Caixia's view, as a latecomer, her current life is much better than before, but Song Yuanchao still wants to give her shares, which makes Ying Caixia very surprised. She feels that she can't compare with Li Daqi, Gu Jie and others at all, and she shouldn't take the shares.
But in the end Ying Caixia was persuaded by Song Yuanchao. First of all, Ying Caixia was not an outsider. She was a fellow educated youth of Song Yuanchao, Lin Yan and Qin Zhengguo. After years of living together, they had become closer than family members. Moreover, it was Song Yuanchao's decision to let Ying Caixia come to Guangzhou. After Qin Zhengguo went to Hong Kong, in addition to Gu Jie, Ying Caixia also took up a heavy burden in Guangzhou. At the beginning of the business, Song Yuanchao would not haggle over his partner like a capitalist. Regardless of personal or public desires, the shares must be given.
Unable to resist the kindness of Song Yuanchao, Qin Zhengguo and others, Ying Caixia finally accepted the shares reluctantly, but she refused to accept the same proportion as Li Daqi and Gu Jie. Finally, after everyone's persuasion, she accepted the 10%.
Song Yuanchao sat in the main seat, and on his left sat Lin Yan. Lin Yan was not an outsider. Although she was not an internal employee of Shenghua Company, she was Song Yuanchao's fiancée, or in layman's terms, the "boss's lady."
Lin Yan knew a little about Song Yuanchao's business before, but she was opposed to Song Yuanchao's business at first. The reason was simple. At that time, when people mentioned the word "business", they would think of "speculation", which was a derogatory term.
Moreover, Lin Daoyuan had previously made three rules with Song Yuanchao, agreeing with him not to do business personally while in school to avoid getting into trouble.
But as time went by, social atmosphere gradually opened up, and even the country began to encourage individual economy and rural contract responsibility system. In just one year, many concepts have changed. Under such circumstances, Lin Yan no longer had the initial worries and aversion to Song Yuanchao's business.
In addition, Song Yuanchao has never done anything himself. Whether it is Zhang Yong in Shanghai, Luo Yang in Yanjing, or in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, many tasks are done by others. Song Yuanchao is like a big boss hiding behind the scenes. He seems to have not intervened directly and has not violated his promise to Lin Daoyuan, but all this is inseparable from him.
In addition, Lin Yan's graduation is imminent, and her future destination after graduation has basically been determined. As the first graduate of the Economics Department of Imperial University after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Lin Yan has gradually developed a strong interest in business. This time, she and Song Yuanchao came to Yangcheng not only for Song Yuanchao and others, but also for the establishment of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone.
People's concepts will change. Lin Yan is gradually changing her original concepts, from initial resistance and vigilance to current curiosity and interest. So when she learned that Song Yuanchao and others would hold a formal shareholders' meeting of Shenghua Company this time, Lin Yan asked to participate in it and got Song Yuanchao's consent.
Today, Lin Yan did not attend as the boss's wife, nor did she attend as a friend of Shenghua Company's shareholders. Her role was as a meeting recorder, and her main job was to record the content of today's meeting.
So now Lin Yan was sitting upright on the left side of Song Yuanchao, holding a notebook and a pen in her hands, and solemnly wrote these words on the notebook: "Minutes of the meeting of all shareholders of Shenghua Company in Yangcheng on August 24, 1980".
The others sat around Song Yuanchao, which seemed to be a sense of ceremony, and the atmosphere in the room became a little solemn.
"Okay, let's start the meeting." Song Yuanchao saw that everyone was looking at him, as if asking him a question, so he smiled, cleared his throat and spoke.
"The first thing to do at the meeting is for everyone to report on their work and the progress of their work. Who will speak first?"
Song Yuanchao asked, his eyes swept over everyone. The scene was quiet for a moment, and Li Daqi raised his hand and said, "I'll report first."
Song Yuanchao nodded, and Li Daqi immediately began his report.
Many of the things Li Daqi said had been discussed privately with Song Yuanchaohui when they were in Shanghai, so his speech this time was much clearer.
As Li Daqi reported, everyone listened attentively, and occasionally wrote down some key points in their notebooks. Lin Yan did a good job in her role as a recorder. She wrote quickly on the notebook with a pen, writing down everything Li Daqi said.
Li Daqi mainly talked about the preparation, site selection, leasing, construction, equipment purchase, workshop division, employee personnel structure, etc. of the new factory.
After saying this, Li Daqi reported on the current daily production scale of the new factory, the ratio of finished product rate to defective product rate, warehousing rate, capital surplus and turnover, etc.
"Regarding the customer base, the factory is currently adjusting the supply and marketing. Previously, due to some reasons, our customer base was relatively single, mainly the two major distributors, Shanghai and Yanjing. Although the purchase quantity meets the production needs of the factory, and it is not bad from the perspective of profit, Yuan Chao talked to me about this in Shanghai before. As a factory, having a single customer base is not a good thing. Once a problem occurs, it will have a great impact on the factory, so the next major task is supply and marketing."
Having said that, Li Daqi glanced at Song Yuanchao, who nodded slightly to signal him to continue.
“The specific adjustments are as follows.”
Li Daqi spoke more and more smoothly, and continued: "I talked about sales, that is, customer groups before. At present, I have specially divided the sales department from the supply and marketing department, and assigned a dedicated person to be responsible for sales work. Judging from the feedback in the past few days, the market expansion in East China has been effective, and because of the cash settlement regulations, it has not brought financial pressure to the factory. Next, we will expand to North China and inland provinces, but this not only takes time, but also requires the factory's production capacity to further increase..."
Li Daqi talked about sales for a while, and then mentioned the issue of the fleet. According to the fleet establishment that Song Yuanchao had suggested to Li Daqi, Tengfei Factory has now allocated funds for the fleet registration. The fleet exists as a subordinate unit of Tengfei Factory, but it is independent in terms of finance and management.
Especially in terms of fleet operation, the fleet is basically operated independently. Tengfei Factory only sends financial and assisting management personnel to supervise and manage the fleet's personnel, labor and capital operations . Other daily management, including business aspects, except for the business support needed by Tengfei Factory itself, is handled by the fleet itself.
"That's good. Having such a fleet is like having a hen laying golden eggs. We can make a lot of money in transportation now, and it also solves our own transportation needs. Daqi, how did you think of this?" Qin Zhengguo said with some surprise. Compared with the backward mainland, Hong Kong is much more advanced. When there was no formal logistics in the mainland, Hong Kong had already given birth to specialized logistics companies. Qin Zhengguo had dealt with these logistics companies a lot in his business in Hong Kong. Of course, he knew that logistics was an indispensable part of the supply chain. In addition, he originally came to Hong Kong from the mainland, and he knew how great the benefits of transportation were.
"Haha, where did I get this idea? It was Yuanchao who suggested to set up this convoy. I just asked the factory to pay and set up this convoy. To put it bluntly, I got a big bargain." Li Daqi laughed and pointed towards Song Yuanchao.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Song Yuanchao also smiled. He immediately told everyone about Zhang Jianguo. When everyone learned that the team leader and person in charge of the team was actually Zhang Jianguo, they suddenly realized it. Everyone present was familiar with Zhang Jianguo. Of course, they knew that Zhang Jianguo was not only a veteran driver, but also Song Yuanchao's uncle. Moreover, everyone was assured of Zhang Jianguo's conduct and work. What could they worry about with such a close friend managing the team?
" Yuanchao , what you are doing is not right. Isn't it a bit like using your power for personal gain?" Qin Zhengguo asked Song Yuanchao jokingly.
Song Yuanchao rolled his eyes and said carelessly, "Why? You think it's okay for me to use my public office for personal gain? At most, this fleet will be considered my personal investment. No matter whether we make a profit or a loss in the future, it will have nothing to do with the company, how about that?"
"How can this be possible!" Qin Zhengguo immediately put on a stern face and said righteously: "Comrade Song Yuanchao, you are also a person who has received revolutionary education. How can you not even understand the basic principles of distinguishing right from wrong? The old man said that it doesn't matter if you make mistakes. You can still be a good comrade after correcting them. As a revolutionary comrade, I can't watch you go further and further on the wrong path. Don't even think about this!"
After saying that, Qin Zhengguo suddenly pointed at Lin Yan and said, "Yanzi, don't record what you just said. Give someone some face, lest he bring up the past and make things difficult for me later."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
