Chapter 759 Staff
"Haha, you still don't understand?" Qin Zhengguo smiled and pointed with his chopsticks: "Yuan Chao is sending you money, aren't you secretly happy?"
"Give me money?" Ou Aimin was stunned again and waved his hands repeatedly: "How can this be? No, no, no, I am not without money. Although I am not as rich as you, I am also a well-known boss in Yangcheng. I am not short of money, so why should I give it to you? Please don't!"
Seeing Ou Aimin's look of strong refusal, Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Enough, stop teasing Aimin." Song Yuanchao said this to Qin Zhengguo and Li Daqi, and then said to Ou Aimin in a serious tone: "Actually, what Zhengguo said just now was not to send you money..."
Seeing that Ou Aimin was about to speak again, Song Yuanchao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, wait until I finish."
Song Yuanchao said, "Ai Min, there is something you don't know. In a few days, Shenghua will be split up and listed. We have discussed that Shenghua's textile and clothing business will be separated from the group and listed separately. Since it is listed, it will raise shares. At that time, the operation of raising shares will be handed over to a professional company in Hong Kong. However, as shareholders of Shenghua, I, Zhengguo, Daqi and of course Gu Jie in Shanghai have certain rights in the actual raising of shares."
"I won't go into detail about the details of raising funds. According to Hong Kong's stock listing requirements, a company must offer at least 25% of its shares as public shares. In addition, it must have a certain percentage of public shareholders. You just need to know this."
"So the subscription of shares is a necessary step. According to the requirements of the listed company, some shareholders will transfer their shares, and then the public shareholders will subscribe. We, as the original shareholders of the company, are the transferors, and other people who subscribe are public shareholders, which is a way of raising shares."
"I think I understand a little bit. Brother Song wants me to buy Shenghua's shares through a rights issue, right?" Ou Aimin couldn't help but ask.
"Look, you will understand what I mean when I say love the people." Song Yuanchao said to Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo standing beside him with a smile.
The two of them smiled and nodded at the same time. At this time, Li Daqi interrupted and said, "Ai Min, there is an old saying that goes, 'Good things should be kept within the family.' You are our brother and friend. Since the company has this opportunity to go public, it is better to give it to you than to others, right? Besides, you know Shenghua's situation well. Once the stock is listed, the stock price will definitely rise. I can't guarantee how much it will rise, but even if it doubles or triples, it is not a small number."
"Ai Min, if you invest 1 million, you will get at least 2 million or even more after the listing, right? Of course, you have to bring your own people along for such a cheap deal. How about taking a ride and making some money? Let me tell you, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. There are not many such opportunities."
If it were someone else, they would definitely not understand what Song Yuanchao and the others said about stocks, but Ou Aimin was different.
Firstly, Ou Aimin is in Guangzhou, which is greatly influenced by Hong Kong. Ordinary semiconductor radios can easily receive radio broadcasts from Hong Kong. If he is in Pengcheng, he can also watch Hong Kong TV programs directly through the TV.
Secondly, Ou Aimin has often cooperated with clients in Hong Kong and Macau for business reasons in recent years. He has learned something about stocks through what he has heard and seen, and knows these things better than ordinary people.
"Is...is this appropriate?" For a moment, Ou Aimin was a little moved. He thought about it and asked.
"What's wrong with this?" Li Daqi said, "It's a public offering anyway. Anyone who is qualified can buy it. Of course, the actual securities companies will set thresholds, but with us, such thresholds are equivalent to nothing for you."
"Brother, it's better to give this opportunity to you than to others, right? You can find a way to save some money these days. I will notify you in advance when you can subscribe, and then you can buy it according to the procedures."
Ou Aimin nodded repeatedly, with a smile on his face. This is indeed a good thing, and just like Li Daqi said, this is a rare opportunity, it would be a pity to miss it.
That is Ou Aimin. If it were anyone else, they would not have this opportunity at all. After all, the threshold for public offering is relatively high, especially for a company like Shenghua. In addition to the fundamental purpose of listing, listing is also a means of redistributing benefits. There are many capitals in Hong Kong that are eyeing Shenghua, and they all hope to get a piece of the pie through Shenghua's listing.
Of course, although Ou Aimin is a rich man, his wealth is nothing compared to real capital. In this situation, he can just take advantage of the situation and with Song Yuanchao and others around, the capitals still have to give face.
The matter that Ou Aimin was told today was something that Song Yuanchao and others had discussed a long time ago. Not only Ou Aimin, but also some other people, such as Sun Yaoliang, Zhang Jianguo, Zheng Guoyuan, etc. As for Ying Annie and Luo Yang, there is no need to consider them. They were originally one of the shareholders of Shenghua and held more or less shares of Shenghua in their hands. Naturally, it is impossible for them to operate through a share issuance.
Because the trade fair would continue tomorrow, they didn't drink too late and dispersed before ten o'clock.
In the next few days, the Spring Festival Trade Fair was held as normal. Song Yuanchao went to the trade fair every day. As time went by, Jiangsu Province reaped huge rewards this time. The trade fair was only halfway through, and the amount of orders received had exceeded last year's total, which made everyone very excited.
For this reason, Secretary-General Li, who had already returned to the province, personally called Song Yuanchao to express his gratitude. Song Yuanchao humbly said on the phone that such achievements were inseparable from everyone's efforts. He had only done some insignificant work, and much of the actual work was the credit of his comrades.
Secretary-General Li appreciated Song Yuanchao's attitude. No matter what, Song Yuanchao had made contributions, which could not be erased by anything else. Moreover, the reason why Song Yuanchao could serve as a consultant in this project was inseparable from Lin Daoyuan's recommendation. Secretary-General Li reported to Lin Daoyuan afterwards. After learning about the situation, Lin Daoyuan was also very happy and smiled for several days.
Time passed quickly and it was almost the end of the trade fair. On this day, Guo Tao specially found Song Yuanchao to treat him to a meal to express his gratitude. Song Yuanchao readily agreed, and the two of them found a small restaurant nearby. After all, they were all family members, so there was no need to be extravagant. Moreover, Song Yuanchao knew that the conditions of Guo Tao's factory were not very good, so this meal was most likely paid for by Guo Tao himself. The small restaurant was not bad, and it was cheap and affordable.
"Yuanchao, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, our trip would have been in vain." After pouring two glasses of beer, Guo Tao raised the glasses with both hands and said to Song Yuanchao.
The two men clinked their glasses and took a big sip. After putting down their glasses, Song Yuanchao asked with a smile how their gains from the trade fair were. Judging from the looks of him, they should have been good.
"Not bad. We got quite a few orders. Although the amount of each order is not large, it adds up to a lot. At least after these orders are completed, the factory's situation will improve a lot this year." Guo Tao said happily. He followed Song Yuanchao's instructions and focused on those backward countries. At the same time, he temporarily hired several foreign language college students from Yangcheng University as translators, and printed some new product introductions and quotations in a targeted manner.
Over the past few days, the number of orders officially received has accumulated to more than Guo Tao's expectations. As he said, relying on these orders, their factory will be able to get out of the current predicament and also earn a certain profit.
"To be honest, I've been under a lot of pressure these days. Every morning when I wake up, there are handfuls of hair falling out next to my pillow. It's really not easy to be a factory manager. Thanks to you for helping me. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen in the factory if I go home with a blank card."
Guo Tao said with emotion, Song Yuanchao smiled and handed him a cigarette to light it for him: "Now you can breathe a sigh of relief, you will be fine once you recover."
"Yes, thanks to you for helping North Korea. Come! I'll toast you another glass."
After the second glass of wine, Song Yuanchao saw that he was drinking too fast and his face was a little red, so he quickly asked him to eat first. Guo Tao thanked him and picked up the food with chopsticks. The two chatted while eating. After a while, Guo Tao said: "This time it's barely over, but the problems in the factory are still very serious. Let's not talk about the heavy burden for now. The key is that the production technology is too backward."
"In the past few days, some European and American customers have come to consult us, but just like you said, they don't like our products, so we can only sell them through low-end channels. Low-end channels have low profits and low barriers to entry. I took some time to walk around the venue and found that there are many similar manufacturers. This year, I took advantage of you, but others are not stupid. Some manufacturers have come to their senses in the past few days. When the autumn trade fair in the second half of the year or the spring trade fair next year comes, the competition will be even greater."
"This is natural. Everyone needs to eat. We have to change."
"Yes! That's the truth." Guo Tao agreed and continued, "The factory reform is imminent. I plan to adjust the production process and product structure after I go back, but this requires a lot of money. To be honest, it's not easy for a factory like ours to get a loan. We have to find connections and go through channels. Alas! Many things have to be done step by step. There's nothing we can do about it."
"Do you have any specific plans of your own?"
"I was just about to tell you. I'd like to trouble you to give me some advice." Guo Tao immediately started talking about this matter with Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao listened to Guo Tao's story carefully and nodded slightly from time to time.
I have to admit that Guo Tao does have some ideas and vision. The problems he thinks about and the solutions he comes up with are pretty good. If they can be implemented, there is a great possibility of success.
In particular, Guo Tao also plans to make some accessory hardware products based on tool hardware, because he found at the trade fair that there are relatively few domestic accessory hardware products, while the overseas market has a relatively large demand for these products. In addition, the current domestic accessory hardware products are often relatively backward in design and styling. If they can start from this angle, it will be more convenient for the reform of their factory and there will be certain advantages.
