"Dean? What did you say? Liu Chuanzhi told you that if we sell our shares to that General Manager Feng, he can get us three times the market price? "Deputy Director Zhao asked in disbelief.
"That's what he told me, and he promised that it would work."
"How did he succeed? Who would pay three times the price for something? Did Liu Chuanzhi think he was a fool? Even if he knew that they were rich, he had only heard of businessmen being smarter than the other. He had never heard of businessmen being dumber than the other! Can a fool do such a big business? "
President Li said unhappily, "What we are discussing now is, if Liu Chuanzhi can really do it, can we agree to the condition of not reducing his shareholding ratio?"
"I think this is his motive. He doesn't want to reduce his shares. If others paid for the shares, the proportion of the other shareholders' shares would naturally be reduced. Did they spend a single cent on those shares? Weren't they all rewarded by the company? You got so many shares for free, and you're still not satisfied? What, you want more? "Vice President Zhao said coldly.
Back then, he was the one who was most opposed to giving shares to Liu Chuanzhi and the rest. The capital was paid by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Liu Chuanzhi and the rest's salaries were not low to begin with, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences even gave them corresponding treatment. For example, they would be allocated a house, allocated a car, reimbursed, and so on. These treatments were already comparable to their Vice Principals. What else could they ask for?
It was a good company, but he insisted on changing it to a shareholding system. What's the point of changing to a shareholding system? Isn't it for money? Such a big company. How many years has it been? Other than returning the 200,000 RMB, has the company ever handed over any profits to the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
There was money in the company's account. Why didn't they give it to him? Last time, when he wanted to claim a meal receipt, Liu Chuanzhi refused. Did he still have any respect for his superiors?
Only you can spend money in this company, but we can't touch a single cent. Why? This Lenovo, Liu Chuanzhi, you really think it's your own!
"Old Zhao, think about it carefully. If we sell some of our shares to Feng Yu at three times the price, then our shareholding ratio will definitely decrease. If we want to maintain our authority, we must rope in Liu Chuanzhi and the others. Ensuring that Liu Chuanzhi and the others' shares will not drop will not only motivate them to work hard, but also maintain our decision-making power. This is a good thing! "Dean Li explained.
"Something good? If they don't lower their equity ratio, won't our equity ratio fall even more? We'll lower the price of what we have to lower. Won't we still have the final say? "Vice School Head Zhao asked.
The other deputy deans also nodded in agreement. They couldn't let the institute suffer losses just to take care of Liu Chuanzhi and the others, right?
"Liu Chuanzhi also guaranteed that Feng Yu would invest a lot of money, but the proportion of shares he would receive would be lower than the actual amount. Feng Yu will also provide us with a key PC technology, and Feng Yu will help Lenovo to work with Microsoft to improve our technologies. Most importantly, from next year onwards, Lenovo will be giving us dividends. That means we will be getting high returns from Lenovo. Which one of you can do this? "
"Wait, Director. How can the proportion of shares we get be lower than the actual amount we invested? Do you all think that General Manager Feng is a fool with too much money? This explanation doesn't make sense. I think Liu Chuanzhi must be hiding something from us. "Vice School Head Zhao insisted.
This was indeed suspicious. But Liu Chuanzhi did not explain to Director Li in detail. He only wanted Director Li to believe that he could do it.
"No matter what is going on, I only want to ask you one thing. If Liu Chuanzhi can do it, should we agree?" Director Li asked loudly.
Before Vice School Head Zhao said anything, the rest of the deputy deans agreed. Why not agree to take advantage of Lenovo? Lenovo had set up this company to make money. With money, they will have more funds for their research. They have no reason to object. Furthermore, they had been contacted by Liu Chuanzhi's partners.
As for what Vice School Head Zhao said, they do not need to know. They can ask Liu Chuanzhi later. Furthermore, everyone knew Director Li and Liu Chuanzhi's father were classmates. It was obvious that Director Li was supporting Liu Chuanzhi. Who would want to go against the leader for no reason?
If Lenovo succeeded, all of them will benefit. Shouldn't they get some of the credit too? At the very least, they will get a sum of money from selling the shares, and they will get a portion of the research funds. Which one of them does not need money now?
All of them suspected that Vice School Head Zhao was against Director Li's suggestion. Vice School Head Zhao had lost to Director Li in the competition for the position of the Director. Both of them had been at loggerheads for a long time.
"You all … … don't you all think that General Manager Feng might be a conman? Do you all think this is possible? Fine. I want to see how Liu Chuanzhi is going to convince Mr. Feng. Hmph! "
… …
"General Manager Feng, let me introduce to you. This is the Director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Li Fangyuan. Director Li, this is Feng Yu, General Manager Feng. He wants to invest in Lenovo. "Liu Chuanzhi introduced Feng Yu and Feng Yu in a private room of a restaurant in Beijing.
"Nice to meet you, Director Li. You are one of the most famous scientists in China." Feng Yu smiled and extended his hand.
"Sigh … … I am old now, and I am not as good as many people." Director Li replied humbly.
"How is that possible? I had read your article in an overseas magazine some time ago. Those who can publish articles in that magazine are the top scientists in the world." Feng Yu replied. Hmmm … … Liu Chuanzhi had told Feng Yu about this.
"Hahaha … General Manager Feng still likes to read science magazines? I had researched with a few professors, and I dare not take credit for it. "Although Director Li said this, he was smiling. Hmmm … … This General Manager Feng looks like a good person. How can he be a scammer?
"My dream since young is to be a scientist. But I do not have the talent. I heard that scientists are all geniuses. But I am not talented. That's why I like to do this type of business. How can a genius's research be bad? "Feng Yu purposely said.
Director Li looked at Feng Yu. Did this young man want to invest in Lenovo because he likes it? But based on what Liu Chuanzhi said, this General Manager Feng's businesses were all high tech. But this explanation was too far-fetched.
"I am not a genius. General Manager Feng is flattering me. I heard from Chuanzhi that you all had communicated more than once and had reached an agreement? "Director Li asked. He also felt that the conditions that Liu Chuanzhi had negotiated were too beneficial to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Could it be that Liu Chuanzhi was bragging to claim credit?
Feng Yu nodded. "That's right. I had discussed with Director Liu a few times and had reached an agreement. He said that the shares of the management staff and technical staff should not be reduced. I agree with him. Their shares can remain the same. I will invest 300 million RMB in cash and the CD-ROM technology. I will also help Lenovo to approach Microsoft. In the end, I will get 49% of Lenovo's shares, and CAS's shares will be reduced to 37%. I will also get 100 million RMB in cash. The employees' shares will be increased to about 6%. Director Liu, is this what we discussed? "
Liu Chuanzhi quickly said. "Yes, yes, yes. That's what we discussed."
Director Li was relieved. If anyone from CAS still does not agree to these conditions, that person would be a fool. Director Li looked at Feng Yu and only had one comment in his heart. General Manager Feng was the classic example of a rich fool!
