Eight o 'clock at night.
Far Away Building was brightly lit.
The meeting room was packed with people.
Other than a few directors, there were also the Legal Department, Finance Department, Far Away City Project Department, Dongyu Real Estate Operations Department … many department heads and employees were present.
Everyone had been discussing the agreement for a full five hours since three o 'clock in the afternoon.
Yuan Chengdao looked at the time and gently knocked on the table. He waited for the meeting room to quiet down before he said, "Everyone, do you have any doubts?"
Far Away City Project Department's head frowned and said, "CEO Yuan, there are still doubts.
Most importantly, the agreement stipulates that the investors cannot withdraw their investment or resell their ownership within six months.
There's no problem with that.
But after six months, the agreement did not stipulate that if the other party breaches the contract after six months and the funds are not in the account, they resell their ownership or even withdraw their investment midway, we can't do anything about it.
This agreement is really too unfair.
Far Away City's rights and interests are not fully guaranteed.
Also, the Far Away City project is too general. There are no limits on how the development and investment will be made.
For example, the other party's request this time is for the first installment of the investment in the Capital City project, and we actually agreed to it?
If that's the case, there's no money to develop the other Far Away City projects, and the project cannot be completed in two years, then do we still have to compensate the other party for their losses?
In short, I think there are many loopholes in this agreement.
Of course, I don't have any doubts in general. As long as the group agrees, it's not a bad idea to bring in partners. "
The others nodded one after another. Following that, the Deputy Manager of the Finance Department also said, "Another point is that the second installment will arrive in six months. Isn't that a little too late?
The other party paid five billion for the first installment, and four billion belongs to the group's funds.
The funds that really belong to the project development is only one billion. This one billion is more than enough to maintain the Capital City project development.
But what about the other areas?
If the other areas are to be developed after six months, we only have one and a half years left. If we want to complete the project in one and a half years, we'll have to work overtime.
This way, our project development funds will increase, and the cost will also increase. "
Shen Qian heard that and explained, "This is not a big problem. The other party mainly wants to see results. If there are results in Capital City, they will see our strength Far Away City. Of course, the money would arrive. Furthermore, the other party has also signed a supplementary agreement. Far away will not be held responsible if the project is delayed due to funding issues. "
"Can you guarantee that the other party's funds will arrive? I think we should sign a supplementary agreement on this point. After all, it's a project worth tens of billions. It's too general. "
Shen Qian thought for a moment and said, "This can be discussed. Other than these, are there any other questions?"
An executive from the legal department frowned and said, "The other problems are actually small problems. "The key is still this Tianfang Group. We've checked its information. The other party had not been established for a long time, and they were not well-known in the past. They had not shown any great strength or capital. Now, it had cost a whopping 24 billion to enter the Far away City project. According to our thoughts, we need to verify the source of the other party's funds. "
Shen Qian said again, "You don't have to worry about that. Several new shareholders have joined the Tianfang Group recently. Not to mention others, the successor of the Zhuang Family is one of the new shareholders. "Speaking of the Zhuang Family, many people don't know much about them. I'll briefly explain. They have shares and investments in the Southern Sky Group, Parkson Group, and dozens of other groups. "The Zhuang Family is strong and has assets worth tens of billions. The successor of the Zhuang Family is one of the shareholders of Tianfang Group, so the source of funds is guaranteed. "And the other new shareholders are not much weaker than the Zhuang Family."
"But background is background. After all, Tianfang isn't directly …"
"There's no difference."
"But …"
The executive from the legal department wanted to say more, but Shen Qian smiled and said, "Everyone, we will weigh these matters. If there are no other questions, the meeting can end."
After saying that, Shen Qian looked at Yuan Chengdao and asked, "Mr. Yuan, is this okay?"
Yuan Chengdao looked at her deeply and nodded slightly. "Then let's end it. Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Lu are still waiting. We can't let them wait for too long."
The meeting ended.
After some discussion, the new contract came out.
Shen Qian looked at the new contract and said to the board members, "Next, if the other party has no objections to this, can we sign the contract?"
Wang Yue frowned and said, "That's too rushed. Why don't we sign the memorandum first?"
For a company, a memorandum was also a form of contract. However, this kind of memorandum did not have legal effect. It could only be said that both parties had reached an agreement.
However, the formal contract could still be signed after a period of time.
This was also to give both parties time to consider and weigh the pros and cons.
The bigger the company, the more they liked this form.
They would sign the memorandum first. After a few days, if there were no problems or other doubts, then the formal contract could be signed.
Wang Yue's suggestion to sign the memorandum was in line with the situation.
After all, the memorandum had been reached. If the other party was really sincere, it would not affect the signing of the contract.
Moreover, the time difference in the middle could wait for Li Dong to return.
Even if Li Dong did not return, they would find a way to go to the provincial hall tomorrow.
After 48 hours, if Wu Changguo could not produce effective evidence, they would not give Wu Changguo face.
Even if Li Dong could not come out, the other party had no right to restrict them from seeing each other.
Shen Qian smiled and said, "I don't think it's necessary to sign the memorandum. The other party has also agreed. As long as we sign the contract today, the first installment of 5 billion will be in our account before 4: 30 p.m. tomorrow. For us now, the sooner the money arrives, the better. "
Wang Yue frowned and was about to speak when Yuan Chengdao said, "Let's not talk about this first. CEO Shen, go and talk to CEO Zhuang about the new contract. As for whether to sign the contract, the memorandum, or the formal contract, we'll talk about it after the board meeting. "
"Okay, then I'll go and talk to them first."
Shen Qian turned around and left without any hesitation.
After she had walked a distance, Wang Yue said, "CEO Yuan, are you going to let CEO Shen do as she pleases?"
They had settled a project cooperation worth tens of billions in one day. Even Li Dong could not do it so quickly.
Back then, the acquisition of Carrefour had taken both parties a few months to discuss. That was considered fast.
But now?
Proposing in the morning and signing the contract at night. Even if the matter was urgent, it should not be this fast.
Shen Qian's goal was obvious to everyone. It was to facilitate this cooperation.
Logically speaking, Yuan Chengdao and the others should not be in such a hurry.
But now, Wang Yue realized that everyone seemed to be tacitly agreeing and pushing for it, especially Yuan Chengdao.
Yuan Chengdao looked at her and said after a while, "It's a little fast, but CEO Shen is also doing it for the company. Also, on some matters, CEO Shen's opinion is not the only one. "
After saying this, Yuan Chengdao did not say anything else. He turned around and walked to the board meeting room.
Wang Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. In fact, she also had some doubts, but she still did not think it through.
Yuan Chengdao was only suspecting now. What if it was not the case?
What if Shen Qian really betrayed Far Away?
Previously, Shen Qian had looked for her, but in Wang Yue's opinion, sometimes Shen Qian and Li Dong were seen as one.
But sometimes, the two had to be distinguished.
Especially when the two of them had a falling out not long ago. Who could be sure whether it was true or not?
Now that Shen Qian suddenly returned, was it really for Li Dong and Far Away?
Everyone was selfish, and Wang Yue was no exception.
If it was really Li Dong who led everything, it would be fine. If it was not, they would all be in trouble.
If they strongly rejected it now, even if it was really Li Dong who led it, they could say that they did not know about it later, and Li Dong would not have any other thoughts.
On the contrary, if they agreed with Shen Qian's opinion now, it might make Li Dong happy, but it was more likely to make Li Dong angry.
To be safe, rejecting Shen Qian's proposal was the best choice.
But Wang Yue also thought of one thing. What if?
What if this was General Manager Li's test for them to adapt to the situation? If she did this, would it affect her impression?
The more she thought about it, the more Wang Yue felt a headache.
Now she was at a loss for what to do.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
Wang Yue picked up her phone and looked at it. Then, her pupils shrank slightly, and she looked relieved.
…
In the conference room.
Shen Qian came very quickly. The moment she arrived, she said, "Tianfang has no objections to the new contract. We agree, we can sign it immediately."
Yuan Chengdao did not waste any time and went straight to the point. "Once the contract is signed, there will be 5 billion in the account immediately. For the group, the benefits need not be mentioned.
I have already told everyone the disadvantages.
Another thing is that the controlling shares of the project are in the hands of the other party, but the other party has promised not to participate in the operation and development of the project, unless necessary financial supervision.
After the project is completed, Far Away also has two options. If the market price at the time exceeds the minimum 10% profit margin, Far Away can buy back the Far Away City project at the market price.
Or, if the market is not doing well, we must buy back the project ownership from the other party with a minimum 10% profit margin.
That's the general idea. Old Fang's method, those who agree, raise your hand. If more than half agree, we will sign the contract immediately. "
"I agree!" Shen Qian did not refuse.
Wu Shengnan followed closely behind and raised her hand in agreement.
Wang Yue and Sun Tao raised their hands at the same time. Suddenly, everyone had a strange look on their faces.
Chen Lang also raised his hand calmly. In an instant, the number of votes in agreement reached five.
Everyone could not help but look at Zheng Fanghong. She had agreed in the morning.
However, at this moment, Zheng Fanghong was a little hesitant. She looked at the others and did not say anything.
Zhou Haidong and Liu Qi continued to abstain. Qin Hai still objected. Liu Hong looked for a while and his eyes revealed a look of deep thought.
However, very quickly, Liu Hong made up his mind. Out of sight, out of mind. He did not agree in the morning. If he agreed now, it would not be good for him to be hesitant.
Without further hesitation, Liu Hong said, "I abstain."
All of a sudden, the choice was handed over to Yuan Chengdao and Chen Lang.
Yuan Chengdao looked at Zheng Fanghong and said, "Director Zheng, what do you think?"
"I …" Zheng Fanghong looked at the situation, nodded and said, "I agree."
Once he abstained or rejected, the choice would be completely handed over to Yuan Chengdao.
Yuan Chengdao might not continue to agree. That would be a big problem.
Yuan Chengdao smiled and said, "The results are out. More than half of the people agreed. Then, it's decided. Director Shen, Director Wu, and I will go meet Tianfang's people and sign the contract. "
No one said anything. At this time, unless Yuan Chengdao went back on his word or Li Dong appeared, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
All they could do now was wait.
After Yuan Chengdao left with his people, Wang Yue looked at Sun Tao and said with a faint smile, "Director Sun, I don't think you're anxious at all."
Sun Tao laughed and said, "There's no point in being anxious. Moreover, the Far Away City project, in my opinion, is not that good. Let alone selling 60%, even if he sold all of it, I wouldn't have any objections. General Manager Li sometimes gets hot-headed and does whatever he wants. Now that someone is willing to pay for General Manager Li, in my opinion, it's a good thing. "
Everyone could not help but roll their eyes. You should have said this in front of General Manager Li!
Of course, if Sun Tao really said it in front of Li Dong, it would not be a big deal.
He was Far Away City's most senior figure, and unlike others, he was Far Away City's real shareholders.
Plus, he was also the Vice President. His status was actually about the same as Yuan Chengdao's.
If he really wanted to compete, he was 10% higher than Yuan Chengdao.
Far Away City's second-in-command, it was really not a big deal for him to tease Li Dong.
Wang Yue heard this and snorted. "Why didn't Director Sun say this before?"
"There's no need."
"You don't think it's necessary, but I think it's very necessary." Wang Yue was a little annoyed. "You should have told me in advance, so I wouldn't have been at a loss."
Sun Tao glanced at her and saw that she was sulking. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said dryly, "I had no choice."
Wang Yue ignored him and turned to chat with the others.
At this time, Qin Hai came over and whispered, "Director Sun, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to get married. You can still continue to work hard on your side, Director Wang. "
Sun Tao did not know whether to laugh or cry. He also lowered his voice and said, "Old Qin, you can just say this to me. I've seen through women now. I'd rather find a weaker one. If she's too strong, she won't have peace at home. I used to have some thoughts, but forget it now. Manager Yang is more suitable for me. "
Qin Hai was speechless. He looked at him and did not reply.
Sun Tao laughed again and could not help but say, "I say, Old Qin, how old are you? Why are you still jealous?"
He had a good relationship with Qin Hai and Yang Yun, especially when they were in Dongping.
Far away matters were handled by Sun Tao and Yang Yun when they were in Dongping.
Sometimes, the two of them would call each other in the middle of the night to communicate.
There was a period of time when Qin Hai was jealous because of this. He would listen attentively whenever Yang Yun called.
Later on, Qin Hai also went to Far away and had more contact with Sun Tao. As time passed, the few of them became familiar with each other. They also liked to crack a few harmless jokes.
Qin Hai ignored him and changed the topic. "Yang Yun came back not long ago. Do you want to have a meal together when you're free?"
"Sure, but not these few days. I'm too busy. I'm afraid I'll be busy in the future. Let's have a meal together after we're done with this. "
"Okay."
The two of them settled the matter in a few words. Qin Hai also returned to his seat.
Sun Tao looked at his back and sighed slightly.
He didn't believe that Qin Hai didn't know what was going on.
In the morning, Qin Hai firmly opposed it. That was pardonable.
But in the evening, Qin Hai still firmly opposed it. That meant that he was purposely fighting.
Sun Tao could understand his feelings. However, this concerned Li Dong's private life. It wasn't good for him to say anything.
Private friendship was private. It was useless to hope that he could help with this matter.
Sun Tao shook his head and didn't continue thinking about it.
In his eyes, this matter was really not good to say much.
His relationship with Qin Hai and Yang Yun was not bad. However, he wasn't familiar with Qin Yuhan.
As for Shen Qian, he was very familiar with her. Both of them had been colleagues for a few years.
He didn't want to guess what Li Dong was thinking. As for himself, he didn't have the mood to care about this. He was an old bachelor. How would he have the time to care about others?
…
Half an hour later.
Yuan Chengdao led the team back.
Seeing that there was no one behind them, Sun Tao asked, "Where are Tian Fang's people?"
Shen Qian said, "They went back. The contract has been signed. Next is the handover and the transfer of funds.
The handover isn't urgent. It doesn't matter if it's two days early or late. The main problem is the funds.
Of the five billion, we can use the four billion.
Once we get the money, we will have more money.
Tian Fang is going back for the funds. As for the announcement, they hope to delay it for a while. This is also what we are thinking.
After all, if we sell our assets now, it will easily cause misunderstandings. "
Sun Tao smiled understandingly, "I understand. It's better not to announce it. We don't announce it because we have no other choice. Tian Fang is quite interesting. It seems that they don't want too many people to know about this. How mysterious. "
Shen Qian smiled indifferently, "Who knows."
The two chatted for a while. Yuan Chengdao said, "Let's disperse. Secretary Liu, I'll have to trouble you to work overtime tonight. Settle the follow-up issues of the contract."
Liu Qi hurriedly said, "Okay, I will settle everything tonight."
"Okay, then we'll disperse first."
Just as everyone was about to leave, Liu Hong suddenly said, "CEO Yuan, CEO Shen, do you want to come earlier tomorrow and go to the Provincial Office together?"
Yuan Chengdao nodded, "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Let's go together tomorrow."
"Cough cough …"
Sun Tao coughed. This sentence was too insincere.
You forgot?
That's the big boss we're talking about. He's still locked up. You forgot!
Of course, he knew that Yuan Chengdao should know something. Otherwise, he wouldn't say this.
But the big boss is acting mysterious. You should at least cooperate.
Yuan Chengdao's expression was normal. He didn't feel awkward. He turned around and walked out.
Cooperate?
Cooperate my ass!
Yuan Chengdao was a little angry because of what had happened.
Far away was a joke!
Also, even if there was a plan, was it so difficult to inform him in advance?
Now that Sun Tao and the others obviously knew about it, there were not many people who were really in the dark.
Yuan Chengdao couldn't be bothered to say anything. This time, if Li Dong didn't settle the matter well, don't blame him for quitting.
By then, Yuan Chengdao had come to terms with it.
He had been in the position of Far away's CEO for several years. If he really wanted to jump ship, he also had the capital to take charge of a company again. It wouldn't be a big problem.
On Li Dong's side, he was also tired of doing whatever he wanted.
If he really left, it might be easier.
Of course, he was not a person who was willing to fail. If he really left this time, Far away could be said to be a failure.
After being a CEO for a few years, he really didn't feel like being a CEO.
