Upon hearing this...
Wang Dawei breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he felt quite surprised.
What incredible luck I had to agree to such demanding conditions!
"Mr. Chen..."
Wang Dawei was indeed very embarrassed, his smile shy and tinged with shame.
Chen Dong, however, said nonchalantly, "I have complete faith in my judgment. Through our conversation, I am convinced that you are someone who can bring me great rewards. Go ahead and do it with confidence."
"Regarding the investment amount, I still want to invest HK$10 million."
Wang Dawei was about to say something when Chen Dong interrupted him, "Listen to me first. I understand your thoughts. If I invest too much money, how much equity is appropriate for me? If it's too little, you'll feel bad; if it's too much, you'll feel like you're working for me."
“As an investor, I also hope to get a return as soon as possible. How long do I have to wait for a 200,000 investment? I hope you can broaden your horizons and use this money to accelerate the company’s development.”
"Regarding equity, I only want 30% of the company's shares, and the rest are yours, but I have one condition."
Upon hearing this...
Wang Dawei's heart began to race. Ten million, and he only wanted 30% of the shares... God, did he step in dog poop last night to encounter such a windfall today?
"Mr. Chen, you said..."
Wang Dawei's breathing became somewhat rapid. As long as the conditions weren't excessive, he would agree to anything, not just one, but even ten.
That's ten million Hong Kong dollars.
According to his previous plan, he could open 50 courier companies.
Chen Dong held up a finger and said, "No matter how large the company grows in the future, my 30% share cannot be diluted. You have to promise me that."
What kind of condition is that?
Wang Dawei was puzzled, but being the outspoken man he was, he said, "Boss Chen, is this really a condition? Isn't this what you should be doing? Why don't you choose another one?"
Chen Dong smiled but remained silent.
In retrospect, this certainly doesn't count as a condition.
Even if you give it to an appraisal agency or a bank to look at, it doesn't count as a condition.
No one really believed that Wang Dawei could definitely make the company bigger and stronger, with a market value of over hundreds of billions.
But Chen Dong knew that the man in front of him could definitely do it.
What Wang Dawei didn't know was that his frankness made Chen Dong a little embarrassed.
Because Chen Dong gained an enormous advantage.
Many people may not know what it takes to turn a company into a publicly listed company.
Financing and diluting equity are inevitable steps for listed companies.
Take food delivery companies as an example. Before going public, they went through abcdef financing rounds.
In other words, financing is also a means for companies to expand their equity and increase their market value before going public.
If Chen Dong had not made this request, his 30% stake would have inevitably been diluted to less than 10% before the IPO, without any lead investor.
For listed companies with a market capitalization of over several hundred billion, the difference between 30% equity and 10% equity can be several tens of billions.
Looking at it this way, is Chen Dong stupid?
It should be described as cunning and treacherous.
"No, no, no, I only have this one condition."
Chen Dong remained adamant, and Wang Dawei agreed to this seemingly harmless condition without a second thought.
"Mr. Chen, no problem. I can assure you that no matter how large the company grows in the future, your 30% stake will never be diluted."
Decisive and resolute.
At this moment, Wang Dawei's expression appeared very serious.
...
Hong Kong Star Ferry Pier.
Wang Dawei arrived at the cargo hold.
"Dawei, didn't you take the afternoon off? Why are you back?"
Foreman Li asked with great confusion.
"Foreman Li, I'm going to go out and work on my own."
Wang Dawei's words made Foreman Li fall silent for a moment.
However, he then grinned.
"You little rascal, I knew you'd have to go solo sooner or later, and this day has finally come."
Foreman Li exclaimed in genuine exaggeration.
"Thank you for your guidance, Foreman Li."
"If you go solo and make it big in the future, don't forget me. I'll stick with you then!"
The fact that his former boss wanted to work with this subordinate shows that young Wang Dawei is popular.
The reason why hundreds of thousands of low-key Shunfeng employees in later generations united around their leader Wang Dawei was because Wang Dawei was popular, honest, and loyal.
A video of a SF Express courier being assaulted once went viral online. In the video, the courier was slapped after a minor collision with a Beijing-registered car, a scene that was heartbreaking to watch.
In response, Wang Dawei, president of SF Express, stated on his WeChat Moments: "If this matter is not pursued to the end, I am no longer worthy of being the president of SF Express!"
Is it domineering? Does it feel satisfying?
There's an even more domineering side to it.
Wang Dawei responded bluntly to the refusal to mediate.
"If the world can solve problems with money or an apology, instead of with the law, then what's the point of having laws?"
As the leading company in the express delivery industry, people are not concerned about its turnover and profit margins, but rather its grassroots employees. There are quite a few couriers at SF Express who earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. As long as you are hardworking enough, earning more than 10,000 yuan a month at SF Express is not a problem.
This is impossible in other companies. Don't even think about getting a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan for a junior employee. Many middle managers in companies don't even reach that amount.
