The ultimate showdown of black belly and black belly

"Mr. Yu, sit down," Qi Yu raised his hand to beckon the bartender over, "What would you like to drink?"

After taking her seat, Yu Lian said, "Let's have a Negroni."

After the wine waiter left, Yu Lian said: "Sorry, when we parted from Zhuhai Manor last time, I said I would find a chance to chat with you in the future, but I heard that you are still studying abroad, so I haven't found a chance."

Qi Yu: "It's okay."

Yu Lian stroked her temples: "Actually, I just heard Mr. Ye said that you wanted to talk to me. I was also a little surprised. I thought you..."

Seeing that the other party hesitated to speak, Qi Yu followed her words and guessed: "You think I don't care much?"

Yu Lian smiled and asked back: "So I misunderstood?"

Qi Yu didn't take it to heart, and just went on to say: "Since I have taken this position, I will try my best to fulfill this responsibility. Siyuan's intention to acquire Lianxiu, logically speaking, it should have been me and President Si who came to talk about it." You come to talk in person, but the president is busy with private affairs, and I am worried that I am too small to talk, so I usually ask Mr. Ye to speak for me... Just now Mr. Ye called me and said that you are very dissatisfied with Mr. Si's bid? "

"If Mr. Ye could have told me the price earlier, there would be no need for us to waste so much time."

Yu Lian's mood didn't seem to have completely calmed down. Even though she had made some adjustments when she went downstairs, she had already prepared the worst plan in her heart after talking to Mr. Ye. It was no longer the gentle and gentle appearance before.

Qi Yu nodded: "Since we've reached this point, may Mr. Yu also talk about your psychological reserve price?"

Yu Lian crossed her fingers and said: "1.7 million, but this is only my bottom line price. Yan Xiu's psychological bottom price is 1.9 million. If I can sell at this price, I will share with Yan Xiu at the total price of 1.9 million. The price is her share."

Qi Yu secretly thought that Yu Lian was a person who valued love and righteousness.

He said: "We conducted several rounds of valuations on Lianxiu a few years ago, and set its total value at 2.68 million. Mr. Yu and Mr. Yan only own 53% of Lianxiu's stock, which is 1.42 million. Judging from the assessment of professional pricing analysts, the 1.4 million reported by the general manager is indeed not outrageous."

Yu Lian frowned lightly: "If Mr. Qi also thinks that the price quoted by Mr. Si is reasonable, why do you want me to come down and talk to you?"

Qi Yu paused, and said: "A commodity, in addition to its own tangible assets, also has a hidden value that is not easy to be discovered. Professional teams in the market are trying to normalize asset pricing, but if all commodities can be With such a correct valuation, investing in this industry will become risk-free and suspenseless. A teacher around me said that a successful investor must be able to tap the hidden value of a commodity that others cannot discover, and promote its business. change……"

At this time, the bartender brought Yu Lian's Negroni.

Qi Yu raised his glass and touched the other party lightly: "I still remember that when we first met, Mr. Yan offered a price of 53 million for the 2.5% shares in your hands, right?"

"Hmm..." Yu Lian took a sip of her wine and continued to listen to him.

Qi Yu: "I was thinking before, since you will quote this price, maybe Lianxiu still has a value that we can't see in your hearts. In fact, just from the company's name, I can also feel that you and Mr. Yan are right. It's important, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry today because Mr. Ye quoted you a price of 1.4 million, would you?"

Yu Lian's hand holding the wine glass tightened involuntarily.

Qi Yu continued: "Mr. Ye told me that you once told him that you and Mr. Yan regarded this company as your own children. There are many people who are overseas luxury goods purchasers. Only Lianxiu stood out at that time. It is thriving, and the subsequent rounds of financing, development, and listing of the company are also quite smooth. With money and a market, the company should have a bright future. Even if you have disagreements with other investors, at least you and Mr. Yan still have 53 % of the shares are still considered the owners of the company, no matter how bad it is, there is no need to reluctantly give up... So, I want to know, what is the reason for you to come to this point?"

When Qi Yu said the phrase "Treat Lianxiu as her own child", Yu Lian's eyes turned red.

When facing Ye Qinru just now, although Yu Lian felt angry and humiliated, she didn't feel sad, but when she heard Qi Yu say "give up with pain", she actually burst into tears.

The woman in front of her blinked her eyes, trying to hold back her tears.

"I didn't expect Mr. Qi to be so thoughtful at such a young age." She held back for a while, but still couldn't hold back, took out a tissue and quickly closed her eyes, "Sorry, I really didn't expect you to think from our standpoint These questions... recall some things and make you laugh."

Qi Yu clinked glasses with her again, using this simple gesture to resolve Yu Lian's embarrassment.

Yu Lian sighed lightly, staring at the rose wine in the glass, and told the whole story of how she and Yan Xiu created "Lianxiu".

She started with the encounter between herself and Yan Xiu in France, and talked about what they learned, saw, heard, heard, and felt, how they discovered the business opportunity of purchasing luxury goods on behalf of others, and how to formalize this idea.

"...In those two years, Yan Xiu and I were studying while doing purchasing agents. In order to earn some money, we studied the pricing and discount seasons of almost every product, and visited counters on weekends to learn about brand discount information... …

"Once we accidentally learned that an Outlet near a small town in southern France would regularly sell a lot of big-brand products with a 5% discount. We contacted the agency manager and learned that this city has many tourists from developing countries. In the name of 'brand culture promotion', big brand chambers of commerce give very low discounts to some agents... What does this mean? It means that luxury goods also need a bigger market.

"We all know that luxury goods are expensive, but it cannot be denied that many girls still need to be satisfied with this kind of thing, especially for some young girls who work in big cities and live in such a high-pressure environment. bag, a pair of shoes from a big brand, or a necklace from a big brand - I don't mean a replica, the real thing - can make them feel confident and cheerful when they go out, and it will also make them study harder , Life... This is the case with Yan Xiu. We entered this industry because of the same psychology. I still remember the joy I felt when I bought a pair of high-heeled shoes that I had wanted for a long time at a low price...

"In order to let more girls experience the same feelings as me, we set up the 'Lianxiu', try to find those brand owners, try our best to impress them, persuade them, and get them in the name of 'brand promotion' Limited low-priced goods, when Lianxiu was at its craziest, we could get 1 bags for 3000 yuan for a 5 yuan bag, and sell them on this platform. After deducting all human and material costs, we only Earn less than [-]% of your money...

"Those two years were the hardest, but we felt very happy, especially when we saw the customer's feedback and gratitude after receiving the goods. Starting with it, it directly captured the hearts of middle-class young women in China, so Lianxiu has accumulated a large number of high-quality customers in those two years..."

Qi Yu nodded and said, "This is also where we first fell in love with Lianxiu."

Yu Lian sighed: "After that, Yan Xiu and I were no longer satisfied with buying foreign luxury goods on behalf of others, we began to want to produce our own products and build our own brand...

Qi Yu commented: "This idea is also more reasonable."

Yu Lian: "At that time, there were many people who wanted to invest in us. We were a little bit dazzled by the favor of capital, and we were eager to develop, so we chose Ark Investment, which paid the most, and Ark Investment would directly take away 30% of our hands. They also asked us to revise the company's articles of association and increase the management authority of new shareholders, and then sent two senior business development people over, but Yan Xiu and I had a big disagreement with them. We planned to start something smaller To start, for example, make a necklace, or make a pair of shoes to test the water, and create a star product, but the new manager thinks that the efficiency of this test is too low, and more new businesses must be developed. Compete for customers, otherwise we will have no advantage at all when the major e-commerce companies open overseas shopping. Frankly speaking, Yan Xiu and I have no plans to do online wardrobes at all, because many people are doing it, I think The same type of stuff doesn't make sense... At that time, Yanxiu and I listened to too many different suggestions. Every day, people denied our ideas and told us 'no way'. For a while, we even doubted our own success. It's not too accidental, can we only be purchasing agents..."

Qi Yu said thoughtfully: "You and Yan Xiu are a bit idealistic, but not firm enough in your own mind."

Yu Lian smiled wryly: "You're right. She and I lack experience in the company's long-term development planning. We were a little shaken by others' words, and made a lot of compromises without knowing it. Although the company has gone through several rounds of fundraising, The scale has grown a lot, Yanxiu and I are getting more and more valuable, but we are getting more and more powerless and unhappy. The company went public last year, but Lianxiu is no longer the original Lianxiu. We feel that everyone can give advice on the company's development, and the stock price has been falling since the listing. Friends around us have seen how hard we have worked so hard, and advised us to let it go. It sold..."

When she said this, her eyes were a little red again.

Qi Yu asked back: "So you want to sell it? What about after you sell it?"

Yu Lian shook her head: "I don't know, maybe we can find something else to do with Yan Xiu, next time we will only do what we want to do."

After being silent for a while, Yu Lian said again: "Actually, at the end of last year, Mr. Ye contacted us on behalf of Siyuan Group. I was very happy, because I have always liked the brand Meiwei."

Qi Yu: "Do you like Meiwei?"

"Well, although something happened to Meiwei in August last year, both Yan Xiu and I believe that Meiwei is the most dedicated domestic luxury clothing brand. When Yan Xiu and I wanted to start a brand, we also regarded Meiwei as a Our goal...Later, I heard that Siyuan acquired Lianxiu to serve as a platform for several of its brands. I thought this was the best destination for Lianxiu. In your hands, Lianxiu should change. Better..." Yu Lian lowered her eyes and smiled calmly, "But it's hard to say whether I can sell it now, because the price is too low. During this period, Yan Xiu and I always quarreled about it. I'm not reconciled. And I just said so much, I don't think the current Lianxiu has any hidden value worthy of being discovered, if you think Lianxiu is not worth the price, I don't want to force it anymore."

Qi Yu let out a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "Mr. Yu, you may have underestimated yourself a little bit."

Yu Lian froze for a moment, then raised her eyes slightly in surprise.

Qi Yu smiled: "Is Lianxiu's success really a coincidence? Ask yourself, in this day and age, there are so many easy-to-wear clothes and shoes, and there are so many people who work as purchasing agents and sell discounted goods. Why do those people choose Gathered at Lianxiu?"

Yu Lian was dumbfounded. As the founder of Lianxiu, she actually wanted to ask Qi Yu "why".

Qi Yu: "I've seen Lianxiu's slogans, from the beginning of 'let every ordinary girl have access to luxury goods', to the later 'I can buy shoes by myself, do I still need you'," back Put on my beloved bag, and today’s troubles will all be gone'... You came up with these words, right?"

Yu Lian nodded: "I thought about it, but isn't this kind of thing that any product planner can think of?"

Qi Yu: "Is this also the denial of those 'anyone'?"

Yu Lian: "..."

Qi Yu explained: "Mr. Ye once said that you are a young literary girl. I didn't think so much before. After hearing you say this today, I realized that it may be because of your softness and sensibility, and your resonance with those girls. Let them have a certain emotional connection with the platform of Lianxiu. Even if Lianxiu's stock price is falling, even if you say that Lianxiu is no longer the same as Lianxiu in the past, those customers still maintain their loyalty to this platform... My teacher and I have analyzed that this is the characteristic that distinguishes Lianxiu from other companies, that is to say, in fact, the biggest hidden value behind Lianxiu is you."

Yu Lian's eyes flickered, and the emotions in her heart just now completely dissipated with Qi Yu's words.

Moreover, Yu Lian seemed a little embarrassed to be praised by a handsome young man who was so much younger than herself, and subconsciously changed the subject: "Is your teacher... is Stafford's teacher?"

Qi Yu coughed lightly: "No, it's the one you saw when you came here just now."

Yu Lian smiled and said, "It's Mr. Fu..."

Qi Yu paused for a moment and continued: "If I didn't sit in this position today, I might encourage you and President Yan to continue this company, but I'm sorry, for the sake of the group's development, I still want to acquire Lianxiu, you just said that the minimum you and President Yan can only accept is 1.7 million and 1.9 million respectively?"

Yu Lian: "Yes..."

Qi Yu: "A compromise, 1.8 million, what do you think?"

Yu Lian's eyes lit up, she directly raised her glass and said, "Yes."

Qi Yu clinked glasses with her: "But I have a condition."

Yu Lian was stunned: "What?"

Qi Yu: "I understand your feelings for Lianxiu. You must be reluctant to let go of your love, but Siyuan Group is running for absolute control, so it is impossible to leave shares for you. When we get the 53% , and will continue to acquire the shares held by Ark Investment."

Yu Lian: "I understand."

Qi Yu: "However, after Siyuan acquires Lianxiu, it needs to integrate Lianxiu and Siyuan Group's brands including Meiwei, Xuelian, Lovme jewelry, etc., and make cultural displays of different brands on the platform. I hope you can come and stay. Come down and do this part of the planning work."

Do integration planning for Meiwei and Lianxiu?Yu Lian was almost dazed by the pies that Qi Yu threw over her one after another: "No problem!"

She didn't react until she agreed, and asked, "But didn't Mr. Ye say just now that you can't just bypass Mr. Si and negotiate the price with me?"

Qi Yu: "That's right, the 4000 million I added to you is a hidden value that I personally believe, but the president may not agree with these things at all, so these are just my verbal promises to you for the time being, in order to try my best to help you achieve 1.8 At the price of [-] million, I may need your cooperation to do something next."

Yu Lian: "..."

The two chatted for another twenty minutes, and Qi Yu briefly explained his strategy to Yu Lian.

Yu Lian asked: "Is this useful?"

Qi Yu smiled and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. In short, the 1.8 million I promised will definitely be given to you. Not Siyuan, there will be other companies to accept Lianxiu."

Yu Lian opened her mouth and was about to say something when she saw Qi Yu took out her phone and glanced at it.

"President Si is already in the meeting room on the sixth floor, you go up first." Qi Yu said.

"What about you?" Yu Lian got up.

Qi Yu glanced at the phone: "I'll sit down for a while, let's stagger the time a little bit, lest the President suspect that we met alone."

Yu Lian smiled and made an OK gesture, walked to the door of the bar, and looked back again, seeing that Qi Yu was still sitting in the same posture as when she first came here, the same chic and handsome, and also had an aura that didn't fit her age.

She now knew that behind that calm face was a young man's fiery heart.

After Yu Lian left, Qi Yu himself fell into deep thought.

He had been at a loss before, if Si Zezhen was manipulating Lianxiu's stock price behind his back, and he accepted Lianxiu at a low price with vague knowledge, would it be right or wrong?

But in the process of talking to Yu Lian and making a decision just now, he seems to have found the answer.

——"Qi Yu, as the owner of capital, have you ever thought about what principles you will stick to?" Fu Yansheng's deep voice seemed to be heard again.

At that time, he thought, not breaking the law is the principle.

However, the law is the boundary for others to restrict their behavior, and the line in his own heart should be far higher than the law.

That is self-demanding morality, the conscience of being born as a human being.

Qi Yu closed his eyes and let out a slow sigh. When he opened them again, his eyes seemed clearer than before.

***

In the conference room on the sixth floor of the hotel, several people surrounded Si Ze, not daring to show their atmosphere.

Huang Junwen tremblingly handed over an ice pack wrapped in a towel, and said in a low voice, "President Si, apply it."

As soon as Si Ze took it, he stuck it to one of his eyes, twitching the corner of his eye in pain and "hissing".

"...This Song is too outrageous." Huang Junwen muttered.

"Shut up!" Si Ze gouged him out, and Huang Junwen immediately fell silent.

He put a cold compress on himself for a while with a sullen face, and asked, "Where are people from Lianxiu? Why haven't you come yet!"

"Boss Ye has gone to call..." one person whispered.

"Has he not negotiated the price yet?" Si Ze was obviously in a bad mood, as if he had taken explosives.

"Hey, you didn't come down for dinner just now, how dare they talk about serious things."

Si Ze snorted coldly, and was about to complain when the door opened, and Yu Lian, Yan Xiu, Ye Qinru and others entered in a row. I also involuntarily smoked a bit.

Yu Lian: "President Si...what's the matter with you? Are you okay?"

Si Ze covered his eyes with an ice pack, and said, "I accidentally slipped in the room and hit the corner of the sofa."

Everyone: "..."

Yu Lian frowned: "Is it important? Do you want to call a doctor?"

Si Ze: "It doesn't matter if you say it, let's get down to business... Where's Qi Yu?"

Ye Qinru said: "President Qi didn't adjust due to jet lag, go to the room to catch up on sleep, just let me tell you that you can decide, President Si."

"Okay, let's start then." Si Ze looked at Yu Lian and said, "Boss Yu, at this point, let's not go around in circles anymore and just quote the price."

Yu Lian: "I'll just wait for President Si's words. After discussing with President Yan, the lowest acceptable price is 1.8 million."

Si Ze raised the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Yu, are you joking?"

Yu Lian said seriously: "Why are you joking? Last time we offered a price of 2.5 million yuan. This is a drop of 7000 million yuan for the sake of seeing Mr. Ye talk to us for so long."

Ye Qinru made it difficult on purpose: "Mr. Yu, to be honest, 1.8 million is still beyond our psychological price."

Yu Lian frowned and said, "Then how much do you think of?"

Ye Qinru: "Up to 1.4 million."

Yu Lian shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Ye, I already told you on the phone that 1.8 million is our bottom line. If you can only sell 1.4 million, we will only sell 1.4 million shares."

Si Ze looked at Yu Lian with one red phoenix eye, but smiled on his mouth: "President Yu, don't you pay attention to the stock market? Lianxiu's total market value is less than 3 million, and you are offering me 1.8 million." , are you dreaming?"

Yan Xiu's expression changed when she heard the words, and she immediately replied: "President Si, Lianxiu was valued at 3 million before listing. Siyuan Group doesn't want to buy it. Naturally, someone else will buy it. You don't need to be so cynical."

Yu Lian hurriedly held down her hand, signaling her not to speak any more.

Si Ze laughed: "No, I said Mr. Yan, besides Siyuan Group, who else is willing to take over your mess? I heard that Ark Investment is still looking for bad guys to sell Lianxiu's stock."

Yan Xiu got up angrily and walked away.

"Yan Xiu!" Yu Lian exclaimed, chased her out, and held her at the door of the conference room, "Calm down, there's no need to make everyone unhappy..."

"It's their dog's eyes that look at people first! Since Mr. Lin of Yancheng is willing to approach us, I would rather sell Lin Huan than Siyuan Group for 1.4 million!"

"Don't be like this..." Yu Lian was still persuading outside.

In the meeting room, Si Ze's eyes turned serious in an instant: "Who are they talking about? Lin Huan?"

Huang Junwen looked at Ye Qinru: "Lin Huan also wants to buy Lianxiu?"

Ye Qinru said blankly: "I haven't heard of it..."

Huang Junwen said vigilantly: "The two of them are not cheating us, are they?"

Manager Han said, "Doesn't Lin Huan have an investment company? Now that Lianxiu's stock price is so low, will he want to take advantage of the opportunity?"

"He dares... hiss!" Si Ze was furious, and the hand holding the ice pack hurt his injured eye again.

Huang Junwen: "President Si, take it easy..."

Si Ze stared at Huang Junwen, lowered his voice and said, "Hurry up and find someone to find out if there is such a thing!"
