"Manager Liu, you don't have to tell me about the company's future plans. I still trust you. I heard that all of you have shares in this company?" Feng Yu does not know how many shares Liu Chuanzhi owns now. In his previous life, Liu Chuanzhi owns 3.8% of the company's shares.
"I don't own a lot. Only 1%. There are seven to eight other people in the company who have the same shares as me. CAS is the controlling shareholder of this company, and all our employees own a portion of the shares. "
Feng Yu raised his brows. Giving shares to the employees now? Feng Yu remembered in his previous life, a subsidiary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences owned 65% of Lenovo's shares. Lenovo's ESOP owned the remaining 35%, and Liu Chuanzhi and the rest of the management's shares were included. But Feng Yu does not know how much shares were given to the rest of the employees.
If Feng Yu wants to invest in Lenovo, the best way is to reduce CAS's shares. But CAS will not allow him to do so. Lenovo is going to be listed soon, and they must wait for the share prices to rise before selling a portion of their shares.
However, since Liu Chuanzhi took the initiative to look for him, it meant that their internal financing was not going well, or that they did not have enough money. Feng Yu lowered his head and pondered. How can he get Liu Chuanzhi to sell more shares to him, even if he had to spend more money.
In the future, Lenovo's profits might not be high, but they are very strong. They have a wide range of investments, diversified, and still able to maintain high profits. Liu Chuanzhi and his team had contributed a lot to this.
Most importantly, CAS had only invested 200,000 RMB in Liu Chuanzhi and his team. After that, they did not increase their investments. More than a decade later, CAS's shares were worth more than 150 billion!
This was insane. Even if Feng Yu was only a venture capital investor, he could invest 100 million RMB in exchange for 10% of the company's shares. Ten years later, it will become 20 billion RMB!
Even the God of Stocks could not compare to this.
So, Feng Yu made up his mind. No matter how high the premium is, he will do everything he can to get as many shares as possible!
Just the IT and PC industry alone will be one of the most profitable businesses in the next 10 years!
"Manager Liu, what is the total market value of Beijing Lenovo and Hong Kong Lenovo?"
"Hong Kong Lenovo's market value is about 100 million HKD, and Beijing Lenovo's market value is about 70 million RMB."
What? That's it? Although it was hundreds of times more profitable than the $200,000 investment a few years ago, the market value of the two companies was still far lower than Feng Yu's estimate.
If that was the case, wouldn't he feel no pressure when investing? Even at a 5 times premium, 500 million RMB will let Feng Yu own more than 50% of the company's shares!
"How many shares can Lenovo sell me?" Feng Yu asked.
In his heart, he hoped that Liu Chuanzhi would answer that there was no limit. But obviously, this was impossible. However, Feng Yu also hoped that the ratio would not be too low. If it was 3% or 5%, it would be meaningless.
"How many shares does General Manager Feng want to buy?" Liu Chuanzhi probed.
"No matter how much you all buy, I will buy the same amount." Feng Yu said with a determined attitude.
Liu Chuanzhi heard this and knew what Feng Yu was saying. But Liu Chuanzhi had reported to the higher-ups, and the higher-ups only allowed Lenovo to invest, but not sell the shares.
Lenovo was about to be listed, and after it was listed, the share prices would increase by a few times. It was not worth it to sell the shares now.
Liu Chuanzhi was only testing Feng Yu. He wanted to lower the price during the negotiations.
"Ok. Then I need to report to the higher-ups. It might take a few days. How long will General Manager Feng be staying in Hong Kong?"
"I will be in Hong Kong most of the year. If you have any good news, you can come and look for me. Oh, I heard that Hong Kong Lenovo is going to be listed? I am close to the Fu family in Hong Kong, and I have invested in a consulting company here. I can help you. "Feng Yu starts to increase his bargaining chips.
"That's great. This will save us a lot of trouble." Liu Chuanzhi was smiling, but in his heart, he was shocked.
How did Feng Yu know that Hong Kong Lenovo was going to be listed? This was still in the planning stage and had not been announced to the public. Only the company's higher-ups and some leaders from the Chinese Academy of Sciences knew about this. How did this information get leaked out?
Could it be that Feng Yu had bribed some higher-ups in Hong Kong Lenovo? But this was not right. These higher-ups were the ones who had worked with him in the past, and they owned the company's shares. There was no reason for them to leak this information to outsiders.
But no matter what, Liu Chuanzhi must investigate this. He was the one who suggested to get Feng Yu to invest in Lenovo. If something really went wrong, then he would have to bear the greatest responsibility!
After leaving Hong Kong Lenovo, Feng Yu called Wu Chih-gang to ask how much funds Tai Hua Trading has available. After getting Wu Chih-gang's reply, Feng Yu was more confident.
Tai Hua Trading had more than enough funds to buy out all of Lenovo. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Chuanzhi and the rest of Lenovo's higher-ups were all talents, Feng Yu would have agreed to Heitaro Nakajima's request to let Aiwa enter the PC industry.
This year, Aiwa had beaten Sony in the Walkman market. In Feng Yu's previous life, Sony's Ultra slim series was withdrawn by Aiwa, and Sony became the imitator!
Heitaro Nakajima was ambitious. He felt that this year's Walkman sales will exceed 1 billion USD, and the profits will not be less than 100 million USD!
Also, the CD player was officially launched. With Aiwa's Walkman brand, the sales were not bad. Although Aiwa was still not as good as Sony, Panasonic, etc., Aiwa had the VCD technology, and their CD technology had caught up with other companies.
The quality was not worse than other companies. In the music player industry, Aiwa's brand was big, and the sales channels were good. There was no need to worry about failure.
Although Aiwa's Walkman did not become popular the moment it was released, the sales had reached Aiwa's expectations. At the same time, the market share of other brands had been lowered. The company that was affected the most was Sony!
Heitaro Nakajima was ambitious. He was still developing the video game industry, and at the same time, he wanted to enter the PC industry. He had conducted market research and felt that the PC industry had a bright future. Also, he felt that Aiwa's engineers were good. If they could poach some talents from other companies, Aiwa would be able to set up a PC industry.
But no matter what he said, Feng Yu still did not agree. In Feng Yu's previous life, Aiwa had failed in this industry. If they were not blindly confident that they would succeed in the PC industry, they would not have fallen into decline.
Although Feng Yu had foresight and could give them some pointers, Feng Yu felt that it would be more convenient to invest in Lenovo. After all, Lenovo was more professional.
Also, before Feng Yu's rebirth, the top PC brands in Japan were still Japanese. Dell, Apple, Lenovo, Samsung were all ranked behind them. In this regard, the local protection in Japan is still very serious.
Also, if Aiwa entered the PC industry, Sony, Panasonic, and other big companies would join forces. Feng Yu's capital was not enough to compete with those big companies.
Furthermore, Aiwa was starting from scratch in the PC industry, and Feng Yu did not think that Aiwa would succeed. The products developed by Aiwa would be short-lived. Aiwa might as well focus on music players. Feng Yu had already planned for Aiwa's future. When Walkman and CD were saturated, Aiwa could introduce MP3 players.
Feng Yu trusted Lenovo more in the IT and PC industry. This time, he must invest in Lenovo!
