Chapter 932 Capital Increase
Drinking, eating and chatting.
While eating and drinking, the original sitting positions of the people changed. The men naturally gathered together, while the women gathered on the other side, each chatting about their own topics.
"Gu Jie, has the listing time of the District 8 Commercial Company been decided?" Li Daqi asked.
Gu Jie smiled bitterly and shook his head. The construction of the eighth district was a long-term plan. Although the commercial company had been established, the subsequent planning had been scheduled for a long time. At the most optimistic level, it would be impossible to complete it this century. If things go wrong, it might not be completed until the beginning of the next century.
Moreover, according to the current situation, not only will there be no returns in the later stage, but on the contrary, money will continue to be invested in it, because this project is really too big. The commercial company has already planned to further increase its investment. Not long ago, it also found Gu Jie to ask for his opinion, and its words implied that it wanted Gu Jie to invest more in it.
"They want you to invest again? How much?" Li Daqi asked with a frown.
Gu Jie gave a number, which made Li Daqi frown even more tightly: "Why so many? What about the shares? How to distribute them?"
"The share ratio remains the same, but the total capital amount has increased." Gu Jie sighed, "I am now struggling with whether to continue or find an opportunity to exit. Besides, no one can guarantee whether there will be a third or fourth round of capital increase. If this is the case, I will have to keep investing without seeing any returns. Even a mountain of gold and silver will not be able to sustain it."
" That 's true. Yuanchao, do you think Gu Jie should continue to vote?" Li Daqi thought for a while and asked Song Yuanchao.
Song Yuanchao did not answer immediately, but asked about the details of the business company that Gu Jie had discussed with him before. After Gu Jie finished speaking, Song Yuanchao said, "Continue to invest more. At present, the commercial development of the eighth district has taken shape, and the next few shopping malls will be built and opened one after another. If you withdraw now, there is no need to participate in the first place. Wait until the overall commercial effect of the shopping mall is opened. If it is a good aspect, I think it will be more convenient to continue to invest and hold or to transfer shares to exit."
"But what if the business results are not ideal?" Qin Zhengguo asked on the side.
"Haha, that's unlikely. Don't forget the Eighth District's geographical advantages. The first subway line in Shanghai passes through the Eighth District. According to current news, Metro Line 1 will be operational in May next year. Aren't all the subway drivers being trained now doing internships in Yanjing? This means that the city has a comprehensive plan and arrangement for the opening of the subway. Plus the Eighth District's inherently favorable location and conditions, how could it not work?"
"Besides, it's less than a year away from next May. Although the amount of capital increase this time is not small, it is not too large and can be fully afforded. After this capital increase is completed, even if there is a next capital increase, it will be at least three or four years later. It is impossible to continue to increase capital in the short term. In this way, we will know the situation after the subway opens next year. I think it is worth waiting for a few months."
Luo Yang nodded at the side: "I know about the internship of subway drivers. At the end of last year, Shanghai sent a group of drivers to Yanjing. They are all young people specially recruited from technical schools. They will intern in Yanjing for more than a year. After they have mastered the subway posture technology, they will return to Shanghai to become the first batch of Shanghai subway drivers."
"In that case, Xiao Gu, I think Yuan Chao is right. This capital increase is still worthwhile. If you don't have enough funds, just tell us. We can just make up the difference for you." Zhang Jianguo said with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Gu Jie picked up the wine glass in front of him and clinked it with Zhang Jianguo's. Then he raised his hand and took a sip to light up the bottom of the glass. "I'll think about this matter again. If the money is really not enough, I will definitely tell everyone."
"That's right. What's a problem if it can be solved with money?" Qin Zhengguo patted Gu Jie's shoulder and said with great pride.
Then, they talked about Nandu's listing. Everyone was paying close attention to Nandu's listing because they were all shareholders of Shenghua, and Nandu was a subsidiary of Shenghua. This time, Nandu was restructured into a joint-stock company, and everyone subscribed to a lot of internal shares. Moreover, the stock market is in a good momentum now. Although the stock plunge a few days ago was thrilling, for people like them , they had already experienced the ups and downs of the Hong Kong stock market, so they were not worried about these at all.
The listing of Nandu's shares also represents another dramatic increase in their wealth. Moreover, Nandu's shareholding reform and listing has other significance, which is to further ensure Sitter's controlling rights and at the same time disperse and weaken the current proportion of state-owned assets in Nandu's shares.
"How is Sun Yaoliang now? When will he come back?" When talking about Nandu and then Si Te, Luo Yang suddenly thought of Sun Yaoliang.
"I'm not sure." Song Yuanchao shook his head.
"Is he still in the United States now?" Luo Yang asked.
"I went to Europe some time ago and stayed there for a few months. Now I'm going to the United States."
"What is this guy doing over there? He's so secretive and doesn't even keep in touch with his old friends?" Luo Yang complained a little. He and Sun Yaoliang are old classmates and friends. Sun Yaoliang helped him a lot when he was selling clothes in Dashilan.
Song Chaoyuan smiled and didn't say much. He didn't know how to explain Sun Yaoliang's situation for a while. Since going abroad, Sun Yaoliang has spent most of the time in the United States and a small part of the time in various European countries. Sun Yaoliang didn't tell Song Yuanchao in detail what he did.
However, Song Yuanchao heard that Sun Yaoliang first worked in his eldest brother-in-law's company for a while, and then he applied for a job in a company in the United States and worked there for more than half a month. Afterwards, he went to a university to audit classes. Just when Song Yuanchao thought that Sun Yaoliang was preparing to continue his studies in the United States, this guy inexplicably went to Europe again.
Sun Yaoliang did talk to Song Yuanchao on and off a few times, but he didn't say much on the phone, just saying that he was doing well abroad, and that he had learned a lot and broadened his horizons. As for the details, Sun Yaoliang didn't go into detail, and the rest was just some very normal chats, asking about Song Yuanchao and other old friends in China.
In Song Yuanchao's heart, he was still very confident in Sun Yaoliang, because Sun Yaoliang had always been a person who knew what he should do and did it without hesitation.
Whether it was when he gave up his job in the supply and marketing cooperative to take the college entrance examination, or when he followed Song Yuanchao to Dazhalan to help Luo Yang sell clothes in college, or when he did not stay in Yanjing as assigned to be a cadre in the Commercial Bureau before graduation but instead went to Nanjing and was willing to work with Song Yuanchao in a branch factory in Nandu.
Later, Sun Yaoliang worked in the sales company for so many years. He could have continued to be the general manager, but he resolutely resigned and went overseas because he felt that there were problems with himself. All these show Sun Yaoliang's character and obsession.
Since he has his own ideas, Song Chaoyuan chose to believe him and believe that Sun Yaoliang will come back one day. By that time, Sun Yaoliang may no longer be the Sun Yaoliang he used to be. Song Yuanchao is looking forward to the day when he will be reborn and the day when they can work together again.
In the past two years, Shenghua has continued to develop rapidly, especially in the field of electronics. Now Shenghua's VCD products still firmly occupy the largest market share in China, and have also achieved considerable success in exports.
Because Song Yuanchao used the VCD product strategy properly, VCD products have not been ruined as they were in the past, and the entire market still shows a thriving scene.
In addition to Shenghua VCD, other brands, such as Japanese brands and European and American brands, also sell well in the market. Of course, Shenghua VCD is the best-selling and most accepted one. However, since the product has been on the market for two years, various companies have continuously launched new models, especially Japanese brands of VCD, which are obsessed with the pursuit of functions like video recorders in the past, and launch a new model every six months to compete with Shenghua's products.
Under such circumstances, Shenghua can only launch some new models, of course, the speed of upgrading is certainly not as fast as Japanese products. But Shenghua has an absolute advantage, this advantage is Shenghua VCD's powerful error correction function, this function makes Shenghua products have a very good reputation among consumers, and still firmly occupy the dominant position.
Due to the upgrading of manufacturers and products as well as the overall output, the decline in VCD sales prices is inevitable.
When Shenghua VCD was first released, the price of a VCD was 2,300 yuan, and even with a discount it was still over 2,000 yuan.
But now, the price of VCD has dropped a lot. The most expensive VCD on the market is only about 1,800 yuan, while Shenghua's VCD price has dropped to 1,680 yuan, a drop of more than 20% compared to the original 2,300 yuan.
But this decline is still acceptable, because due to large-scale production, localization of some components and falling prices in the international market, the cost of Shenghua VCD has been reduced to a low level of only 450 yuan per unit.
Calculated based on this cost, after deducting the marketing expenses and the operating difference from wholesale to sales, Shenghua can still maintain considerable profit on VCD products.
In addition, through the channels of Qin Zhengguo and Shen Yuanjie, Shenghua VCD was also sold directly to Big Brother.
Big Brother nowadays is not as good as before. Last year, several brothers of Big Brother split up the family, and everyone has a hard life after the split. Compared with electronic products, what is more scarce in Big Brother's family are many common daily necessities and daily necessities, even food and so on.
Two years ago, Song Yuanchao and Shen Yuanjie met in Bingcheng and talked for two days. Afterwards, Qin Zhengguo, as the joint representative of Song Yuanchao and Shen Yuanjie, went to Big Brother's house, where he cooperated with a well-connected person in Big Brother's family to open a company, and then did a lot of preliminary preparation work through some relationships.
Last year, when Big Brother split up the family business, they made a fortune overnight because of their previous work. In Shen Yuanjie's words, he never thought that business could be done this way, and that so much money could easily go into his pocket just by sitting there and doing nothing.
However, Song Yuanchao told him that this kind of business was just an exception. To put it bluntly, it was actually stealing money from Big Brother's pocket. This way of making money can only make a fortune quietly, and you must not show off, otherwise something will happen.
