"Manager Li, what do you mean?" Feng Yu quickly asked.
There are many ways to invest, and Feng Yu wants to know what Li Jingwei wants. If Li Jingwei is willing to help, then Feng Yu will have a higher chance of investing in Jianlibao and even Jianlibao.
"General Manager Feng, since you are Wahaha's major shareholder and can let Zong Qingxian continue to be in charge, then after you become Jianlibao's shareholder, can you hand over the management to me and my team?" Li Jingwei stared at Feng Yu. If Feng Yu shows any hesitation, Li Jingwei might regret his decision.
"You might not believe me. But since a few years ago, all the companies I own are managed by someone else. Even the Chairman of the listed companies I own is someone else. You might think it is an agreement. But let me tell you, there is no agreement. I am just too lazy to manage my companies. For example, I am one of Microsoft's directors. But Microsoft's headquarters is in Seattle, and I am in New York now. "
Feng Yu had never thought of letting Li Jingwei step down. Even if he can acquire Jianlibao, he will hire Li Jingwei back with the shares. Li Jingwei can develop Jianlibao into a company of such scale within ten years. This shows how capable he is.
Feng Yu knows that he might not be better than Li Jingwei. Since Li Jingwei is so capable and the management team is trained by him, then even if Li Jingwei retires, Feng Yu will still hire him back until he can groom a qualified successor.
Feng Yu's reply made Li Jingwei overjoyed. "That means General Manager Feng has agreed to my conditions?"
"Why not? However, I have a request. That is, the bloated personnel structure must be streamlined. I don't want to see those people who got in through connections continue to work in the company. Moreover, Jianlibao's current headquarters is too remote. I think you should move it, or at least choose a big city like Shenzhen or Guangzhou, or even in Guangdong. The higher-ups should support you, right? "
If Feng Yu didn't have any requests, Li Jingwei would still be suspicious. However, after Feng Yu made two requests, Li Jingwei believed that Feng Yu would agree to let him continue to manage the company.
What made him even happier was that the two conditions that Feng Yu had proposed were also what he wanted to do. However, because the property rights of Jianlibao had nothing to do with him, he could not do it.
If Jianlibao could be successfully restructured, then he certainly hoped that these two things could be accomplished. These two things were indeed a big problem that hindered Jianlibao's development!
"General Manager Feng, I promise you that I can do these two things, and I must do it!" Li Jingwei said solemnly.
"General Manager Li, what we talked about earlier is a story for the future. I am curious. How are you going to let me invest in Jianlibao? From what I know, Jianlibao is a 100% state-owned enterprise. You don't have any shares in Jianlibao, right? "Feng Yu purposely asked.
When Li Jingwei heard Feng Yu's words, he felt suffocated. That's right. Jianlibao's property rights had nothing to do with him. But without him, there will be no Jianlibao. Is this fair?
"General Manager Feng, let me tell you a story."
Feng Yu had an interested look on his face. He sat on the sofa and took a sip of Zhenzhen from the table.
"We, Jianlibao, are promoting sports drinks, and all our promotions are related to sports. In 1990, Jianlibao, a company in Nanyang, and an Olympic champion invested in Jianlibao Sports Apparel Company. Jianlibao is the controlling shareholder, and this company's sports apparel brand is called Li Ning! "
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. In his previous life, he had heard that Li Ning was a subsidiary brand of Jianlibao. But he was not sure how Li Ning got separated from Jianlibao. Seems like he will know today.
Feng Yu opened the cigar box on the table and took out two cigars. He roasted one and passed it to Li Jingwei. "Try this. It tastes different from cigarettes."
Li Jingwei took the cigar from Feng Yu, and Feng Yu roasted another cigar. He returned to the sofa and sat down. "General Manager Li, please continue."
Li Jingwei was stunned for a while. He felt that this Feng Yu was listening to a storyteller. Lighting a cigarette … … Err … … lighting a cigar.
"Li Ning is doing well. He became famous after the Guangzhou Asian Games, and his sales are increasing every year. He has a huge potential. Two years ago, Li Ning met Liu Jipeng, a shareholding reform expert in Beijing. Liu Jipeng pointed out to Li Ning that the company's development will be restricted if the ownership of the company is unclear. That's why he encouraged Li Ning to leave Jianlibao. "
Feng Yu raised his brows. So, this was the reason. He thought Li Ning is not only good at gymnastics, but he is also good at business. So, he had hired someone to diagnose his company.
"During the 1988 Olympics, Li Ning made a big mistake and lost the gold medal. This caused him to fall from grace. At that time, I had helped him, and he is very grateful to me. He is afraid others will say he is ungrateful and hesitated. After much persuasion from Liu Jipeng, Li Ning found me and told me all this. He even promised to give me some shares. "
"Jianlibao Sports Apparel is a subsidiary of Jianlibao. As the General Manager, I have a lot of control. I support Li Ning to leave Jianlibao. So, I represent my company and signed an agreement with Li Ning. Li Ning will repay the 16 million RMB Jianlibao had invested in Jianlibao in three installments. I did not even mention the increment in the shares and signed the agreement. "
Feng Yu's eyes widen. This is possible? This is using Jianlibao's money to buy Jianlibao's shares!
"After that, Jianlibao Sports Apparel changed its name to Li Ning Sports Apparel. Last month, Li Ning moved the company from Guangzhou to Beijing. He had also gotten some sponsorships for our Olympic team. I think Li Ning will be doing well in the future."
Feng Yu said. You are right. In Feng Yu's previous life, before 2008, Li Ning's sales and profits had been increasing year after year. After 2008, Li Ning's profits rose again. Li Ning's net worth had also skyrocketed. If Li Ning was still a subsidiary of Jianlibao, Li Ning would have fallen a long time ago.
Wait. Is Li Jingwei trying to tell me that he still has control over Jianlibao? But even so, cutting off a part of the company's business and selling the company's shares are two different things. Will the local government agree to this?
"General Manager Feng, you mentioned that I had built Jianlibao single-handedly, and I had contributed the most to Jianlibao."
"Of course not. Without you, there will be no Jianlibao." Feng Yu praised.
"Then I had borrowed money from Li Ning to transform Jianlibao into a shareholding company and use my management identity to buy the shares. But why did they not agree? But now, I have an idea. China is now encouraging foreign investors, and Jianlibao must be one of the leaders. "Li Jingwei's eyes lit up.
Foreign investors? I am considered a foreign investor? That's right. I have a Hong Kong identity now. How can I not be considered a foreign investor? Or I can use a US company to invest. How can I not be considered a foreign investor? But why does this move sound so familiar?
