Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 514: 'Dividing the spoils'

The success or failure of the plan depends on its implementation. Lu Shaohua is not sure that it will succeed, but he has a certain degree of confidence since he dared to plan this plan. This time is the same. As long as Lu Shaohua controls more than 50% of the shares, then Lu Shaohua can be said to be half successful.

Why do we say it is only half successful?

The reason is very simple. Lu Shaohua wants to incorporate Yingke into Phoenix Group, oh, to be precise, Phoenix Communications, and then solve the original employee problem. To solve the employee problem, the first thing to do is to get rid of several shareholders who are unwilling to sell their shares.

Those shareholders were a big problem. They were unwilling to sell their shares in Yingke, so Lu Shaohua had to resort to some means to do it. As for what means? Lu Shaohua did not think about it. He believed that Qin Sichen and Li Zekai were experts in this area, and they could divide them and eventually drive them out of Yingke.

The idea was like this, but there was still a lack of execution. Lu Shaohua did not hesitate. After dividing up Yingke, he left the Li family and prepared to return to his own residence. The Huo father and son also left with Lu Shaohua. They were also anxious to leave. They left because it was late, but not entirely. They had to go back to mobilize funds so that they could prepare to acquire the 8% of Yingke shares.

Yes, it was getting late and all the employees in Phoenix Group had already left work. Lu Shaohua had no way to assign tasks immediately and could only wait until the next day.

The next day, Lu Shaohua got up at nine o'clock in the morning as usual, and then came to Phoenix Group. He summoned Qin Sichen and Li Yunqing to the office, then told them his plan and assigned them the tasks.

Li Yunqing is an expert in finance. This kind of private acquisition has nothing to do with him. However, if there are changes in Yingke, there will definitely be changes in the stock market. What Lu Shaohua is worried about is his stock price, so he asked Li Yunqing to pay attention to Yingke's stock price in the next few days.

As for Qin Sichen, her task was more complicated. She was required to negotiate with the shareholders and acquire their shares.

Lu Shaohua is now wealthy and powerful, so there is no problem for him to acquire Yingke. He can acquire it from those shareholders at a price higher than the market share price. In addition, those shareholders are not optimistic about Yingke, so discussing the acquisition should only be a matter of money.

However, Lu Shaohua is not forcing others to sell their shares. He already owns 15% of Yingke's shares, and Li Zekai wants to sell him 11%, which makes him own 26% in total. He only needs to acquire another 25%, and then his goal will be achieved. Therefore, Lu Shaohua will not force those shareholders at all. If they are easy to talk to, they will sell all at once. Otherwise, Lu Shaohua will not acquire them.

Yes, Lu Shaohua could have completely chosen not to make the acquisition. You have to know that Li Zekai already owns 41% of Yingke's shares, plus Lu Shaohua's own 15%, the two of them together own more than 51%, which means they have absolute control.

If, if necessary, Lu Shaohua can ask Li Zekai to transfer his 41% to him, first gain absolute control, then divide the shares of those shareholders, and finally return 30% to Li Zekai, which can also achieve the goal.

It's just that Lu Shaohua doesn't want to do this. The reason is simple. Although he has absolute controlling stake, some things still need to be decided by the shareholders' meeting. It's impossible for one person to have the final say. Therefore, it is very necessary to let Li Zekai control the shares.

Li Zekai holds the majority of the shares, and the two of them together have more say. Therefore, Lu Shaohua's only way is to acquire 25% more shares, which means he has to buy them from the eight shareholders.

But those are not what Lu Shaohua needs to worry about. All he needs to do is to assign the task and let Qin Sichen carry it out.

Qin Sichen also found it strange. Yesterday, Lu Shaohua asked her to find a project to cooperate with Yingke, but now, in the blink of an eye, Lu Shaohua actually asked him to talk to Yingke's shareholders about acquiring their shares.

Lu Shaohua didn't care what Qin Sichen thought and gave the order directly. "You only need to receive 25% of the shares. Well, when you have time, go to Li Zekai to make a handover. He will sell 11% of the shares to us. Also, be prepared to take over Yingke. I want to turn Yingke into a listed company under our Phoenix Communications."

The numbers are very easy to calculate. The 15% owned by the company plus Li Zekai's 11% plus the 25% acquired add up to 51%, which means absolute control. Yingke will also completely become a listed company under Phoenix Communications.

Even a three-year-old child can count numbers, so Qin Sichen can do it too. He immediately understood Lu Shaohua's intention and nodded heavily, saying, "Okay."

"Well, that's it." After saying that, Lu Shaohua waved his hand, indicating that Qin Sichen could leave. However, that was all Qin Sichen could leave. As for Li Yunqing, Lu Shaohua had no plans to let him leave. "Yunqing, stay here. I have something to tell you."

Li Yunqing didn't say anything, just nodded and stayed.

Qin Sichen left Lu Shaohua's office. Lu Shaohua did not let Li Yunqing wait any longer and spoke quickly. "Now that Phoenix Communications is officially operational and can be used for household registration, shouldn't you, the general manager of Phoenix Finance, also have a mobile phone?"

"It's already been matched, haha!" Li Yunqing said with a smile.

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

Yes, Lu Shaohua couldn't believe it. When mobile phones appeared before, Li Yunqing didn't buy one. He could be said to be saving money as much as he could. Now, the mobile phone was just activated yesterday and Li Yunqing bought it. The speed is extremely fast. How could Lu Shaohua believe it? However, Lu Shaohua didn't say anything. After all, Li Yunqing was not a poor man. He was wealthy. Buying a mobile phone and registering it was just a drop in the bucket.

Not long after, Lu Shaohua recovered from his surprise, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then continued, "Okay, just buy it. Now what we need to do is about the mobile phone. Um, help me get thirty-one mobile phones."

"Thirty-one?" Li Yunqing frowned, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Yes." Lu Shaohua nodded, glanced at Li Yunqing, and said, "Yes, it is No. 31, and the numbers should be consecutive so that they are easier to remember."

"Okay." Li Yunqing is not a fool. He understood Lu Shaohua's intention as soon as he thought about it.

Come to think of it, Lu Shaohua's current identity has been made public, and when he came to Phoenix Group, the number of people around him has obviously increased, probably bodyguards. The thirty-one mobile phones of Lu Shaohua are allocated to the bodyguards around him.

That's right, Lu Shaohua was indeed giving cell phones to his bodyguards, but there were 31 cell phones for 30 bodyguards, as if there was one extra cell phone. Well, there was no need to think about it, the extra cell phone was of course for himself.

In the past, Lu Shaohua did not have any communication equipment because mobile phones were too big and Lu Shaohua did not like them. Now that the Phoenix G1 mobile phone has appeared, of course Lu Shaohua wants to have one as soon as possible.

Li Yunqing's work efficiency was quite high. He came back not long after he went downstairs, bringing with him 31 mobile phones. He finished his work only after handing them over to Lu Shaohua and returned to his job.

Now that he had the cell phone and Yingke's affairs were arranged, there was nothing left for Lu Shaohua to do in Phoenix Group, so he simply returned to his residence and waited for news.

……

A day passed quickly without any major movement, but according to Qin Sichen's report, Li Zekai had transferred 41% of his 11%, which meant that Lu Shaohua already held 26% of Yingke's shares. The next step was to acquire another 25% from shareholders.

Coincidentally, the five shareholders who were willing to sell their shares offered by Li Zekai held a total of 25% of the shares. All he had to do was to buy out all their shares, and Yingke would fall into Lu Shaohua's hands.

But will things go so smoothly?

No, it was not as smooth as imagined. After two days of negotiations, only four of the five people provided by Li Zekai were willing to sell their shares, which were 8%, 6%, 5% and 3% respectively, adding up to 22%. Combined with the previous 26%, Lu Shaohua's shareholding reached 48%, which was 51% short of the 3% he wanted, giving Lu Shaohua a headache.

Finally, Lu Shaohua had no choice but to give up the acquisition and called Li Zekai to ask him to transfer another 3% of the shares to make up the total to 51%.

At this point, Lu Shaohua had absolute control over Yingke Telecom and became the largest shareholder.

The emergence of a new largest shareholder gives him the power to convene a shareholders' meeting. On the fourth day, Lu Shaohua finally used his power as the largest shareholder to convene a new round of Yingke shareholders' meeting and personally attended the shareholders' meeting, which shows how much he values ​​Yingke.

No one expected the strong intervention of Phoenix Group, but the other shareholders all knew that it was probably with good intentions.

This is the fact. Li Zekai and Lu Shaohua are in the same boat. Li Zekai stood on Lu Shaohua's side. The two largest shareholders reached an agreement. It has become inevitable that Yingke will be incorporated into Phoenix Communications, and no one can stop it.

However, Lu Shaohua would not have a stern face or use extreme methods. During the shareholders' meeting, Lu Shaohua still used persuasion to get the remaining four shareholders to sell their shares at market price.

In the end, three of the four shareholders sold their shares, and the remaining shareholder who held 11% was unwilling to sell and was still holding on.

There was no way. Some people were so stubborn and greedy that they thought Phoenix Group's acquisition of Yingke would make Yingke prosperous. They planned to make a fortune by holding on to the shares and were unwilling to sell them. Lu Shaohua could only resort to extreme measures and began to take action to divide his shares.

The result is obvious. In less than a week, the shareholder who held 11% of the shares collapsed and could no longer hold on. He began to sell his shrinking shares on the stock market.

When he was selling his shares, Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong also took action to absorb his shares. When he had sold all his shares, they stopped and attended the shareholders' meeting of Yingke as shareholders, intending to share the spoils with Lu Shaohua...
