Chapter 535 Distrust from all walks of life
Hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan smiled and was not surprised.
Then he looked at He Mengxue and asked, "So what do you think?"
He Mengxue hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Yan and said honestly, "I don't really trust Qin Ming either."
"I grew up with him, and I am really surprised by his changes in the past two years. But I think there are some things that talent cannot make up for."
"He may be able to manage a medium-sized company like an investment company now, but he still needs to learn how to manage a large enterprise."
"Because managing a large enterprise requires a lot of experience. It's not something that can be done just by being smart or having talent."
Having said this, He Mengxue paused, and then added, "But... although I don't trust him. I believe in your vision..."
"Since you said he can, then I think he should really be able to do it...right."
When Chen Yan first heard what He Mengxue said, he was actually a little disappointed, but after listening to what He Mengxue said to the end, Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh.
He actually likes this feeling.
Because this means that in the past few years, in his company and his small group, he has established his prestige and banner through repeated victories.
Therefore, everyone around him believed in him unconditionally.
Even if they encounter something that goes against common sense or is unbelievable, because it is Chen Yan's decision, the people around him will be convinced and do it.
This is the temperament and belief that a victorious army should have.
It is also a necessary condition for the company to grow and develop.
While thinking this, Chen Yan looked at He Mengxue and said, "I have actually considered all the considerations you mentioned."
"But like you said, you believe in my vision, and I believe in it too."
"In my opinion, Qin Ming has no experience and qualifications, but he has a magical leadership ability. With this ability, he can help us manage Toutiao Technology."
"As for outsiders, they can believe it if they want to, or forget it if they don't want to. It has nothing to do with us anyway."
After hearing what Chen Yan said, He Mengxue pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that there is no relationship."
She said, "Because Toutiao Technology is a large Internet company, it needs a lot of capital to develop."
“Therefore, we must have recognition from the capital market before we can obtain financing.”
"In the past, the capital market trusted Zhang Yonghao. After all, he was the founder of the company and he brought Toutiao Technology to its current status step by step."
"And now without him, the capital market may not buy into it. Then..."
Before she finished her words, Chen Yan continued, "By then, we won't be able to raise funds, which will lead to slow development and then we will be eliminated by the market. Is that right?"
He Mengxue nodded seriously.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "I don't think you need to worry about this matter."
"Because the capital market is the most fickle."
"Whether they give money or not actually depends on the development of the enterprise and its future potential."
"As long as Qin Ming sorts out the company's affairs in the next month and allows the company to operate smoothly, the capital market will soon change its attitude."
"And if they see that the company under Qin Ming's leadership has better development potential, then Zhang Yonghao will soon be swept into the trash heap by them."
“And…it doesn’t matter even if the capital market is not optimistic.”
"The capital market is not our only financing channel..."
"Isn't there still me?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, He Mengxue was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly.
Yes... financing is about raising money.
Who cares who the money belongs to? As long as we give it to you, isn’t that enough?
And right now, isn’t the person with the most cash in the country standing right in front of you?
Chen Yan, who had just looted more than 10 billion from Hong Kong, could not compare with those investment institutions, but he could fully afford the next two rounds of financing for Toutiao Technology.
As for the two rounds later, that will be two or three years later...
If Qin Ming had proved himself, Toutiao Technology would be like it is now, with countless institutions vying for investment.
If he hasn't proven himself, then he doesn't care whether anyone invests money in him.
Thinking of this, He Mengxue suddenly felt that everything was solved.
However, this also made her curious again about "how Chen Yan played everyone in Hong Kong City, and finally turned the tables and earned more than 10 billion."
So, she asked again.
Originally, Chen Yan didn’t want to talk about this topic: after all, he was just standing on the shoulders of the system.
As a result, he couldn't stand He Mengxue's constant questioning, so he could only make up a set of mental journey and slowly told it to He Mengxue...
The two of them had already slept together when they were in Tiandu, so after chatting a little later, it was natural for He Mengxue to stay there.
However, maybe it was because of Lu Man’s matter, the two of them didn’t have any desire at all, and they didn’t do anything, but just slept in each other’s arms all night.
However, this night was not so peaceful. Compared to He Mengxue's sound sleep, Chen Yan could not sleep well.
He got up several times and looked at Lu Man's pixelated figure on his phone.
The word "Insomnia" was also marked on Lu Man's pixelated figure, and he tossed and turned in bed.
Chen Yan sent her a WeChat message with a little concern, wanting to chat with her for a while.
Only to find myself blocked.
He could only send another message.
This time the message showed "read", but there was no reply.
So, Chen Yan, who had something on his mind, could only close his eyes and rest for a while occasionally, and occasionally check his mobile phone to check on Lu Man's situation.
In the end, no one knew who fell asleep first, but the two insomniacs finally fell asleep in this lonely night...
…
The next day, Chen Yan was awakened by He Mengxue's sweet kiss.
Her kiss had a faint scent of jasmine and the fresh smell of toothpaste.
Chen Yan opened his eyes dazedly and found that He Mengxue had already finished washing and even tied her hair.
Because he had just gotten up, Chen Yan asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you up?"
He Mengxue smiled and nodded, then said, "Yes. I just took a shower."
"I didn't expect that you were actually using the shower gel I gave you."
Hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment.
Then he couldn't help but remember that he asked He Mengxue for shower gel because Lu Man noticed the scent of He Mengxue on him, so she thought quickly and asked He Mengxue for two bottles of shower gel.
Afterwards, he evaded Lu Man by saying, "He Mengxue recommended the shower gel to him, so he smells like He Mengxue."
In order to make his lie come true, Chen Yan even gave Yang Rou a bottle of the same shower gel.
In the end, who knew that the lie would be exposed, but the two of them continued to use this shower gel...
I don’t know if it’s because I just woke up, but as I thought about it, Chen Yan couldn’t help but be a little absent-minded.
Seeing Chen Yan suddenly freeze, He Mengxue couldn't help but wave her hands in front of him with amusement, and then said considerately, "Are you still asleep?"
She said with a bit of self-blame, "It's all my fault. I was too violent and woke you up."
"You should get some more sleep."
"I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to work first."
After saying that, she gave Chen Yan another long kiss, then walked out of the room with her long legs and went to work.
Chen Yan watched her back as she walked away, then lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
After a while, he seemed to remember something, picked up his phone, made a few calls, and arranged for Lu Man to travel and take a vacation...
…
The evaluation from the circle that He Mengxue mentioned last night is indeed the attitude of many people towards Qin Ming now.
Just like the wealthy people in Tiandu and Qindong, when they first learned that Chen Yan had successfully taken over Toutiao Technology by cutting off the source of funds, they all applauded.
I think this is the most successful business merger and acquisition case in the past decade.
As a result, when they later found out that Chen Yan appointed an unknown young man to take charge of Toutiao Technology, they all wanted to pry open Chen Yan's head to see what was inside!
China is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. There are so many talented people who have proven their abilities and so many elite managers who have been in charge of companies for many years.
Why choose a young man who has not even fully grown his hair and has no experience in managing a large enterprise!
Just because this is Chen Yan’s confidant?
Many people believe that Chen Yan’s nepotism will be a turning point for Toutiao Technology to go downhill or even fall into collapse.
I don’t know if Zhang Yonghao also noticed this opportunity.
After learning the news, he rushed to various families and investment companies in Tiandu, spreading the word that if Qin Ming took over the company, it would go bankrupt within a month.
Only he is the leader of Toutiao Technology. Only he can lead Toutiao Technology to glory.
Moreover, I don’t know where he got Qin Ming’s “resume” which has almost no outstanding records.
Then, using this as an excuse, a lot of negative comments were posted.
The result of this being transmitted to the capital market was that in the two days after Lu Man left, Chen Yan's calls kept coming one after another.
Several venture capital firms that have invested in Toutiao Technology all called and inquired about the situation.
He also tactfully expressed his hope that Toutiao could be taken over by a professional manager.
Faced with these capital demands, Chen Yan directly and unceremoniously rejected them.
In addition, several options are given:
One is to shut up and wait for the appreciation and money to be made.
Second, if they do not trust Chen Yan, Chen Yan can buy back the shares at the current market price and relieve them of their worries.
The third is to acquire the more than 60% of shares held by Chen Yan, become the major shareholder, and then fire Qin Ming.
Although these capital parties claim to be venture capitalists, almost every one of them will intervene in the operations of the investment company to a certain extent after investing.
And because of the resources, experience and wealth in their hands, the companies that are interfered with can only accept it humbly in most cases.
As a result, they had been going smoothly until now, but now they were faced with a ruthless helmsman like Chen Yan, and they were all a little stunned.
However, in a business world, profit is the most important thing.
Even though Chen Yan has a bad temper.
But he has created too many myths after all.
Capital can't get along with anyone, not even with the capitalists.
Even though his choice this time seems unwise, no one knows whether he can create a miracle again.
So , having said that, no matter how much people curse him, no venture capital company actually asked Chen Yan to buy back his shares.
Of course, this may also be because they have relatively few shares and can wait and see.
Before, Chen Yan had forced purchases several times and almost bought out all the shares of investment companies on the market.
Only a few companies still have a small amount of shares.
This is also the reason why Chen Yan did not give them any face at all: with their shares, they couldn't even enter the board of directors, so Chen Yan didn't need to care about them at all.
While the aftermath of the incident at Toutiao Technology was causing a lot of controversy.
It is unknown when Lu Man might leave Morning Dew Pictures, and the news of going solo has spread in the capital circle and the wealthy circle.
It is said that someone accidentally saw Lu Man coming out of Chen Yan's office angrily and then going downstairs.
In the following days, he never came to the company or attended any activities, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.
This piece of news, quietly circulated as a rumor, further added to the shadow of Chen Yan, who has been under a lot of doubts recently.
Many wealthy people and investors think that Chen Yan might be a little too arrogant, so he appointed a close confidant with no experience to manage Toutiao Technology.
Then, he had a conflict with Lu Man, a core member of his company, and forced her away.
These public opinions intensified and reached their climax when Zhang Yonghao publicly filed a lawsuit against Chen Yan in Tiandu.
He believed that Chen Yan had used some trickery to defraud his company's shares, and asked the court to rule that the transaction between the two had failed and that the shares should be returned.
When submitting evidence, Zhang Yonghao listed the records and contracts of Chen Yan purchasing shares from him several times.
Then, some chat records of the two people's discussion were submitted.
The most crucial point he grasped was that Chen Yan promised to help him make money.
But, in fact, he suffered huge losses in this crude oil futures trading, and even lost his company shares.
Also filing the lawsuit with him were Vice President Wang, the financial director.
Once this lawsuit was filed, it immediately attracted a lot of attention in the wealthy and investment circles.
After all, this is a continuation of recent events, and... this lawsuit went through too smoothly, it always felt like someone was behind it.
After receiving the court notice, Chen Yan frowned, feeling that something was not right.
So, after thinking for a while, he called Qin Ming and asked about the company's current situation.
Qin Ming has indeed been very busy recently.
Having just taken over a large Internet company, the challenges for him are huge.
However, just like the system's evaluation of him, he seemed to be born to do this job, so he took over very smoothly.
