Over fifty years old, without children, she cared for her aging parents. After seeing them to their end, and with a bit of savings in hand, a mysterious space suddenly appeared.
What was ther...
"Exactly! Okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll hang up now."
Okay! Bye-bye
It seems there are quite a few investors this time! Otherwise, why would everyone want to invest?
Moreover, with such a clear objective, it's absolutely impossible that no middleman was involved.
Separated by the Pacific Ocean, and with their information technology not being advanced, how did they know the situation in China, and so clearly?
Even Hong Kong businessmen may not understand this, let alone those who come directly for their own businesses.
Or perhaps they've been eyeing me for a long time, or they've had this idea for a while now.
Leaving aside other industries, the roasted nuts and seeds business has already made a name for itself, but the profits from investing in this industry now are not very high!
If you can't figure out the reason behind it, then stop thinking about it.
However, given the current state of the domestic economy, things are getting better and better. It can not only export but also meet domestic demand.
It seems we need to restructure the company quickly. We absolutely cannot hand over all the industries to foreigners, especially those with high technological content. We must keep them under our own control.
"Chairman Li, why have you called everyone here at this hour? Is there something wrong?"
"I've called everyone here at this time because it's urgent. Well, to make a long story short, I'll just tell you a few things."
First, someone offered to invest $1 billion in the Li family.
Secondly, several people are interested in the projects that the Li family is currently undertaking.
Third, I will not accept an investment of 1 billion yuan.
"A billion US dollars, how much money would I need to spend to go there?"
"This, Chairman Li, why? Why won't you accept it?"
"Yes! This is obviously a good thing!"
"Once we accept their investment, we'll be close to going public. Then the market value of the Li Group will skyrocket!"
"Chairman Li, can you tell us why you won't accept it?"
"There is only one reason: the decision-making and management rights belong to our own people, and we cannot allow them to become foreigners."
"We can become a joint venture, but some fundamental principles cannot be changed."
"Well, Chairman Li, if we invest this 1 billion yuan in Li's Group, our share will only be less than 40 percent."
If that's the case, then not only will we have no say in management and decision-making, but we'll also have to listen to others' decisions in other areas.
Moreover, the management systems of foreign companies can work here as well.
"If that's the case, it's hard to say whether Li will be able to hold on to her in the future."
"Even if there are such jobs, they're working for foreigners. Although their pay is good, their demands are quite harsh in some aspects!"
"Chairman Li, I wonder which foreigner has such a grand gesture."
"Smith Borg, the American S&Q Group"
"Oh, so this is the company! I've heard of it; it's a famous investment firm on Wall Street."
I've also heard that once someone sets their sights on you, there's no such thing as being unable to take them down.
"If that's the case, we Li family will probably have to change our surname. Chairman Li, you'd better think of a solution!"
"We all followed you to defeat the Li family. If you change owners, we won't stay."
"That's absolutely right!"
"If I really change employers, there will be no point in working here anymore."
"Chairman Li, do you have any good ideas?"
"I can only think of one solution right now, but I don't know if anyone has any objections?"
"You said?"
"Disassemble and rebuild!"
"Disassemble and rebuild?"
"Yes, it's about dismantling and rebuilding!"
"Chairman Li, do you mean to set up separate companies for some other departments or projects, so that if they develop well, they can be listed on the stock exchange?"
"You could say that."
My main goal is to keep key industrial projects in our own hands. After all, whoever has the technology calls the shots; we can't let others just jump in and interfere whenever they want. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Besides, it's true they're a well-known investment company, but I, Li Mianmian, am not one to give up so easily.
"But we're already a separate company, so how can we possibly dismantle and rebuild us?"
"yes!"
"You don't need to change the parts you're currently in. The only things that need to be changed are the few projects you're currently working on."
These need to be singled out, so that in the eyes of others, the Li Group has no projects that are truly competitive.
"If that's the case, the Li family can no longer be called the Li family; it can only be called a company."
"That's right, and the names of companies in the city should not include 'Li's'; they should be called by their individual names."
Besides this, if any of you want to invest, feel free to do so. I want to reduce the market share of foreigners before they are ready to invest.
Even if we give you both decision-making and operational control, then whether you make a profit or a loss will depend on your own abilities.
"Chairman Li, what do you mean by that?"
"yes?"
“Listen to me, everyone. Whether the other party is investing in all the properties of the Li Group or just a single project, it is better to have original shares than shares after financing.”
If the company goes public one day, your share will be larger, and you'll earn more.
Another point is that my energy is limited, and I can't manage so many industries all by myself.
We've all worked together for many years, and I know your capabilities, so I'm quite at ease entrusting these tasks to you!
Organize your recent projects and get them done in the next few days!
That's all I have to say. You can think about it yourselves.
It's getting late, I should head back now!
"No, what does Chairman Li mean by this?"
"I don't know, but if we can get more shares, that's quite important, as long as we do what she says."
Furthermore, under Chairman Li's leadership, we've developed quite well over the years.
"That's quite impressive; some of the projects are among the best in the country."
"So, it's not that we can't do it!"
"That's true. We should see how much money we have on hand!"
After all, once the company goes public, the shares will be diluted, and that will change things.
"That's right."
"I just didn't expect that our Li family would let a foreign company have it."
If Chairman Li were to cash out at this time, it wouldn't be out of the question!
"She won't. The Li family is her child. Even if she gives up one day, she will entrust the matter to our own people, and she will never give it to foreigners."
And don't forget, she always identifies the people working in Miaoshan's businesses, no matter what they're doing.
