"Director An, we have to think it over. If we continue to fight hard with the other party, we will not get any benefit in the end."
Li Zekai looked at An Quan, the chairman of [Shuxianglou], and said sincerely.
An Quan sneered in his heart, but still pretended to listen, and motioned the other party to finish his words.
"I suggest that you issue a restructuring announcement here, and then suspend trading indefinitely under the pretext of planning major events. In this way, after the restriction period is over, we can conduct equity transactions between us.
Don't worry about the transaction price, we can slowly negotiate. In short, you won't suffer any loss. What do you think?"
Li Zekai's move is a typical "cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot", which can freeze the stock price.
After the restriction period is over, he can conduct an equity agreement transaction with [Shuxianglou]. By then, the matter will be settled, and it will be too late for Du Shaojie to make trouble.
The strategy is good, but he did not consider that people's hearts are fickle.
An Quan is already wary of him, how dare he force himself into a dead end? If he suspends trading for restructuring as the other party said, he will have to announce the failure of the restructuring at that time.
When the company's stock resumes trading, it's unknown how much it will fall. How can his interests be guaranteed?
Given that Li Zekai has a history of not keeping his word, he dare not bet that the other party will be honest.
The key is that you can't sign a contract for this kind of thing. People are two-faced. Once the other party turns against him, he won't have tears to cry.
"Director Li, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. So, the company will hold a board meeting to discuss it and see how other major shareholders react.
In addition, it's best to finalize the transfer price of the shares in advance, otherwise I won't be able to explain it clearly at the board meeting."
An Quan didn't agree or refuse, and played Tai Chi.
Li Zekai immediately realized that he was too impatient, which made the other party lose their sense of security.
"Okay, I hope you can come up with a plan as soon as possible."
The meeting ended here, and no practical solution was discussed.
An Quan didn't intend to listen to Li Zekai at all. Now he has both Du Shaojie and Li Kaize involved, and the initiative is in his hands.
He wants to see whether the two parties will continue to increase their holdings or have other plans.
Anyway, it is unlikely that the two parties will sell their shares within half a year because of many restrictions. The gains do not outweigh the losses.
The next day.
The stock trading of [Shuxianglou] was calm. Obviously, Du Shaojie and Li Zekai were both in a wait-and-see state, and no one continued to buy.
"I think it is enough for us to have 10% of the shares. After all, we don't really want to acquire [Shuxianglou], and we will eventually make a profit and leave."
Du Shaojie also held a meeting at [Dingxin International] and decided to temporarily stop buying stocks.
His reasons were very sufficient, and Qin Mingcheng and others had no objection.
They were all veterans in the business world and had the patience they should have. For a period of time, no one would ask about this matter again.
"Shaojie, what do you want to do by colluding with [Shuxianglou] and Li Zekai and others?"
Du Shaojie asked the securities department to keep an eye on the [Shuxianglou] stock, and he himself planned to withdraw.
The night before leaving, he and Liang Meiqin went out for dinner, and Liang Meiqin took the opportunity to ask the doubts in her heart.
"I guess the Shuxianglou Group is thinking of leaving, and Li Zekai is taking over. According to this logic, they will try to go public through a backdoor listing."
Du Shaojie had almost seen it clearly, so he might as well explain it to Liang Meiqin.
The current situation is very delicate. Li Zekai's goals are not consistent with those of the listed company. Maybe there will be a good show in the end.
In short, this part of his equity will be useful in the future.
After dinner, the two went for a walk in the harbor, and then returned to Liang Meiqin's residence together.
As soon as he entered the house, Du Shaojie's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so he didn't answer it.
Later, the number called several times again, which made him very annoyed, so he pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Du, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I'm An Quan from Shuxianglou. I don't know if you have time tomorrow. I want to meet you and have a chat."
"Mr. An, I was planning to go back to the mainland tomorrow. What do you want to talk to me about? Can you tell me over the phone?"
"It's hard to explain over the phone! How about this, it's not too late now, why don't we just find a place to sit down?"
"Okay, tell me an address and I'll go over now."
Du Shaojie thought about it and decided to meet the other party.
He and Shuxianglou didn't actually have any deep hatred. They should fight when they should fight and talk when they should talk. It's nothing big.
He then asked Liang Meiqin to go to bed early, said he would be back later, and went out.
An hour later.
Du Shaojie and An Quan met in a cafe.
"Boss Du, we were competitors before, but not enemies. I won't hide it from you. We plan to withdraw from the listed company, and you want to make money. It can be said that our interests are the same in this matter."
An Quan didn't say much. Less than five minutes after Du Shaojie sat down, he revealed the answer.
He actually regretted his cooperation with Li Kaize, Yin Qiang and others, but it was too late to say anything now. This move almost ruined the reputation of the century-old store.
Now he just wants to retreat, but Li Zekai has too many small thoughts and doesn't keep his word, which makes him feel apprehensive.
Anyway, Li Zekai will not run away. When he came to cooperate, he had a chain plan.
Now the plan is halfway through, and he can only move forward and not retreat.
And Du Shaojie's entry is obviously to disrupt the situation, and he will eventually leave with a profit. So from this perspective, the interests of the two are completely consistent.
"Director An, let's not beat around the bush. If you have any ideas, please speak directly."
Du Shaojie and the other party are definitely not friends. [Shuxianglou] and [Xichuan Restaurant] are natural competitors, and this will never change.
But this does not exclude the phased cooperation between the two parties.
"I am going to confront Director Li and reach a framework agreement on the company's restructuring first. I will not suspend trading during this process, and I hope you don't smash the market."
Du Shaojie can sell the stocks he bought within half a year, but the profits will all belong to the listed company.
There is no such restriction if he sells them after half a year.
An Quan is worried that the other party will give up the profit and smash the market. At that time, he will be passive and have no bargaining power in front of Li Zekai.
In addition, he had a little idea. If the stock price could run at a high level, he would directly reduce his holdings in the secondary market.
Although this must be announced in advance, it is better than being controlled by Li Zekai.
"Oh? I am very interested in your plan, provided that you reach an agreement with Li Ershao first. Don't worry, I am a man of my word."
Du Shaojie was really persuaded by the other party, but this matter cannot be just a matter of words, the other party must take practical actions.
"Okay! Then it's a deal."
An Quan made up his mind and stopped talking.
Du Shaojie returned to Liang Meiqin's residence and told the other party about it.
The two discussed for a long time in bed and fell asleep in the middle of the night.
The next day.
Du Shaojie returned directly to Guangzhou.
He could not sell the stocks in his hands for the time being, and it would take some time for An Quan and Li Zekai to reach an agreement. He did not need to wait in Hong Kong.
[Shuxianglou] will no longer sell stores in the future. The stores that meet An Quan's wishes have been bought by third parties, which are actually under the control of [Shuxianglou Group].
The remaining stores, either unable to compete with [Xichuan Restaurant] or in a bad location, will stay in the listed company and wait for the future.
An Quan is not a pushover. He made early arrangements and was actually able to attack and defend, and did not let Li Zekai control him to death.
After he made all the preparations, he came to Li Kaize to show his cards.
"You are going to announce the restructuring plan so early, isn't it letting Du Shaojie and others take advantage? Mr. An, I won't cheat you."
Li Zekai didn't expect An Quan to have a falling out with him. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he could only try his best to appease the other party.
When An Quan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he thought to himself: "It would be strange if you didn't cheat me."
So, he insisted on doing this. If Li Kaize disagreed, he even planned to give up the restructuring plan.
Now the days of listed companies are not easy, but they are not at the end of their rope.
First of all, he has a huge amount of "franchise fees" as a bottom line, and he also controls the supply of raw materials, and he can make a fortune from channel fees.
The business of Sichuan cuisine restaurant can only be said to be not very good, but that depends on who it is compared with.
It is certainly not as good as [Xichuan Restaurant], but it is still no problem to make a profit. The domestic market is so large, and I have never heard of any catering company that can form a monopoly.
"Mr. Li, this is my bottom line. If you don't agree, I can only give up the restructuring plan."
"Mr. An, not really, not really. Well, let's do as you say. We will send people to discuss the framework agreement from tomorrow, and you can issue an announcement after it is finalized."
Li Zekai couldn't help but get angry, but he didn't show it, but took a step back.
An Quan was right. At this time, he couldn't give up the restructuring plan, otherwise the sunk cost alone would make him uncomfortable for a long time.
"Thank you Mr. Li for your understanding, that's it, my people will come to negotiate tomorrow."
An Quan left Li Zekai's office after saying this.
After Li Zekai and others left, they almost smashed the desk. He couldn't understand how there could be such a greedy person in the world, who was not satisfied with the transfer price of 6 yuan per share.
But this time he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he could only agree to sign a framework agreement on restructuring with the other party.
Recently, the share price of [Shuxianglou] has fallen back, fluctuating around 8 Hong Kong dollars per share.
After the agreement was signed, Anquan immediately issued a restructuring announcement.
This announcement further strengthened investors' confidence.
The share price of [Shuxianglou] rose again, breaking through 15 Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, and went straight to the key price of 20 Hong Kong dollars per share. (End of this chapter)
