All brands under Du Shaojie are basically people-friendly, which requires enterprises to have strong cost control. Otherwise, it is meaningless to make a profit but lose money.
In fact, it is not bad at this time. After all, housing prices have not taken off, and the cost of house rental is not that high.
When housing prices take off in the future, the pressure of house rental can even bring down a very good restaurant.
Du Shaojie is unusually persistent in real estate. Others rent houses while he buys them. Now he has accumulated 279 shops, which are still growing slowly.
He has never had the ambition to be the richest man. His biggest wish is to live by guarding these stores. As for investment, it is just a side job.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Tang from the telecommunications company called just now. He wants to invite you to have a meal alone and asks when you are free?"
That day, Du Shaojie had just finished breakfast when Luo Qin came over and told him something.
Tang Jie from the telecommunications company wanted to invite him to have a meal alone. It is estimated that there is something to discuss.
Du Shaojie thought about it, then took the phone and called Tang Jie.
"Mr. Tang, I'll make arrangements in the evening. Let's go to the Seafood Restaurant."
"Okay! Then I'll arrange it next time."
The two of them didn't push back and forth about the meal.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie and Tang Jie met in the Seafood Restaurant. There were only the two of them in the huge private room.
"Mr. Du, I'm going to withdraw my investment from the resort. The share transfer has been arranged, but the price is a little lower. Please talk to Mr. Ye and don't mind it."
After three rounds of drinks, Tang Jie got straight to the point.
Dong Yushu was right. The telecommunications company was going to cut off the tertiary industry project and focus on the main business.
However, Tang Jie's request was a bit strange. It was obvious that the resort shares held by the company could be sold at a good price, but the other party wanted to transfer them at a low price.
Specifically, it was about 20% lower than the normal price, and this did not include the premium.
According to the earliest investment agreement, any shareholder who wanted to transfer shares must obtain the consent of the other two shareholders. Moreover, under the same conditions, the other two shareholders have the right of first refusal.
Du Shaojie immediately understood Tang Jie's intention of inviting him to dinner today.
"Mr. Tang, why do you suddenly want to transfer your shares? The resort's business is booming now, which is equivalent to making money without doing anything. It's a pity for you to do this. As for your idea, I have to discuss it with Mr. Ye, and I can't answer you now."
Du Shaojie didn't express his opinion immediately. He always felt that there was something wrong.
"Mr. Du, please talk to Mr. Ye. I have a reason for doing this, but it's not convenient to explain."
Tang Jie didn't show any emotion, but just kept saying good things.
Du Shaojie looked at the other party with a smile, seemingly understanding the other party's difficulties, but until the end of the dinner, he didn't promise anything.
That night.
He went to the resort to meet Ye Weiming and told him about this.
"Mr. Du, let's not rush to draw conclusions, and then test the other party to see who Mr. Tang wants to transfer the shares to. He can't hide this. We can work backwards from the transferee and probably understand some of the things here."
After listening, Ye Weiming rarely cursed.
Logically speaking, Tang Jie is not a fool, and it is impossible for him to do something that blatantly harms the public and enriches
himself. He thinks that this matter should be clarified, otherwise if there is any mistake in the future, he might be implicated.
"Boss Ye, this matter actually has nothing to do with us, right? Then why do we have to dig deep into it? Sometimes, knowing too much is not good, it is rare to be confused."
Du Shaojie shook his head and disagreed with Ye Weiming's statement.
After all, the shares belong to the other party, and it is their freedom to transfer to whomever they want, so why bother about what is fishy.
"But there is one thing, if Boss Tang insists on transferring the shares at an abnormally low price, we can't sit idly by, and I will activate the right of first refusal at that time."
Du Shaojie said this and blinked at Ye Weiming.
Ye Weiming understood immediately and laughed.
Tang Jie's wishful thinking did not succeed in the end, and he had no choice but to transfer the shares in his hands at a normal price.
In fact, there is definitely a premium for transferring the resort's shares now, but Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming did not stop them and agreed to the equity transaction.
The new shareholder is a private enterprise, and the boss is Tan Zheng.
"Fuck, why did you agree to let Tan Zheng invest? This guy is not a good guy. Be careful, he will make the resort a mess in the future."
Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming were not sure about this person's background. They called Pang Weidong to ask, and the other party directly cursed.
Tan Zheng is very famous in the circle. He is a good person, but he just doesn't like to do legitimate business. He likes taking risks and wandering in the gray area all year round.
With such a shareholder, the resort may not be safe in the future.
"I see. Thank you, Dongzi."
Du Shaojie didn't say much and hung up the phone quickly.
He then discussed with Ye Weiming that Tan Zheng should not be allowed to interfere in the operation and management of the resort. In short, give him the title of non-executive director and wait for dividends.
A few days later.
Tan Zheng visited Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming seriously and held a board meeting at his suggestion.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Ye, I may offend you a little by saying this. The resort has such a good foundation that it should have been replicated in other places long ago. Funding is not a problem. As long as the word is out, there will be many people willing to invest, and even listing and financing is not impossible."
Tan Zheng is not very old, about 30 years old.
He is thin, but he speaks loudly and imposingly.
At the beginning of the meeting, the other party began to talk big. From becoming bigger and stronger to listing and financing, it seems that everything is under his control, and his eloquence is first-class.
"Oh? Mr. Tan, what do you think the valuation of the resort will be if it starts the first round of financing?"
Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming looked at each other and then asked a question.
At present, the operation of the resort is very stable and its profitability is very strong, which is definitely not comparable to that of a new startup.
If financing is necessary, it involves the valuation of the company, which is a key point that cannot be avoided.
"The resort is indeed doing well, but it does not mean that it can sweep everywhere, so the current reasonable valuation should be between 200 million and 300 million yuan."
Tan Zheng gave his own answer.
There is no fixed rule for valuation, and everyone has different opinions, but his valuation is obviously too low.
"Ahem, I think, if the valuation cannot reach 1 billion yuan, what is the point of financing? Wouldn't it be better for us to keep the existing achievements? Why bother to take risks to expand the market."
Ye Weiming lit the cigarette in his hand and said indifferently.
Du Shaojie also echoed on the side, pretending to be desperate for money.
Tan Zheng sneered in his heart, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem. However, he couldn't promise anything now, lest he expand the appetite of these two guys.
The first meeting was fruitless, and the three people walked out of the meeting room talking and laughing, and even had a meal together.
Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming didn't want to fall out with each other now, so they didn't take tougher measures. However, now not only Du Shaojie, but also Ye Weiming also had the idea of quitting.
If the resort business wants to be stable, all shareholders must be of one mind.
But since Dong Yushu was transferred away, in fact, both Tang Jie and the new shareholder Tan Zheng can be called unstable factors. The two planned to make a final profit and then withdraw, and the rest of the things had nothing to do with them.
"Boss Du, after dealing with this mess, I plan to leave the unit and start my own company."
Ye Weiming had this idea a long time ago, but he had never put it into action.
The inducement that prompted him to make up his mind was the transfer of independent Dong Yushu, which truly reflected what it means to be cold when a person leaves. If he suddenly leaves one day, who knows what the tertiary industry of the foreign trade company will be like?
Ye Weiming is also a ruthless person. At his age, he decided to leave his company to
start his own business. However, he did not need to resign. He could just apply for medical retirement. But before that, he needed to deal with all the messes to avoid giving others a handle.
"Oh? Which business are you going to do?"
Du Shaojie was very surprised because the other party had never mentioned this idea.
"Let's do the old business first, start with foreign trade, and see if there are other opportunities in the future."
Ye Weiming said with a smile, and everything was self-explanatory.
Then the two left the resort together and went back to their own homes.
After a few days.
Ye Weiming found Liu Zijian and Sun Zhenguo and told them that he planned to sell his shares in [Huanyu Communication]. He had found the next buyer, and as long as everyone agreed, the foreign trade company would withdraw from the shareholder sequence.
Liu Zijian quickly called Du Shaojie, who had expected it and agreed to the equity transaction.
Later, a private company called [Wuzhou Trade] became a new shareholder of [Huanyu Communication]. The equity of this company is very complicated, and on the surface it has nothing to do with Ye Weiming.
Tang Jie later approached Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming several times, and the two finally gave in and agreed to introduce powerful shareholders.
The two sold part of their shares at a premium, but still retained 51% of the resort's shares. This time the equity transfer has far exceeded expectations. Not counting the previous dividends, the original investment has doubled the profit.
Tang Jie couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then offered a high price that Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming could not refuse to buy all their shares.
He hoped to completely control the resort without any constraints.
Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming signed the equity transfer agreement, and Ye Weiming took back a huge profit of several hundred million yuan for the company. For him, this is already a good job, not to mention that the transfer of [Huanyu Communications] shares also made a profit.
Ye Weiming cut the Gordian knot, dealt with various investments in the tertiary industry, sorted out the claims and debts, and then issued a considerable bonus to all employees. (End of this chapter)
