Chapter 95 This trick is called pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger
"Mr. Sheng, can you explain it more clearly?" Mr. Zhou decided to ask without hesitation.
"What was your investment ratio at that time?" Sheng Yuxiao asked him back.
Mr. Zhou did not hide it. The main reason was that the Sheng family did not engage in the gaming business at all, so he did not need to worry about others harming him.
So I found the notepad and ballpoint pen in the room and drew a fan-shaped diagram.
"The company's initial registered capital was 3 million yuan, which was jointly invested by me and a college roommate. He invested 600,000 yuan, accounting for 20% of the shares. Later, due to family changes, he sold part of it to our company's current CEO Liu."
"At that time, the company was going through a trough period. Mr. Liu was very interested in the games I had. Seeing that he couldn't poach me, he invested in purchasing 12% of my shares and became the majority shareholder."
"So far, he holds a total of 22% of the shares."
"In addition, our company has another major shareholder, Mr. Xiao, who subsequently purchased and owns 17% of the shares."
"In addition, my wife and daughter also hold 3% and 1% of the shares respectively, which were gifted by me. I hold 47% myself."
After listening to this, Sheng Yuxiao said slowly: "Well, then the company should be under your absolute control."
After all, as long as his wife and daughter transfer their shares back, he can regain 51% control at any time.
"Mr. Sheng should also know that shares are not everything. The company is ultimately for the purpose of making profits. About seven or eight years ago, the company entered a period of rapid development. But by the year before last, it had already begun to decline.
"That's because Mr. Mu from the Internet of Things has entered the market. They have strong capital and are constantly introducing mature games from abroad. They can also roll out multiple projects at the same time, using a large amount of money to constantly trial and error in exchange for a Gu King."
“Who can afford to play without strong capital?”
Everything is connected.
Li Xiaoya quickly remembered that it was the home of Young Master Mu whom she had beaten up last time.
"The game market is undergoing iterations and updates, but CEO Liu and CEO Xiao are sticking to the old ways."
"Mr. Xiao is a negative person who only talks about it. Mr. Liu is different. He will let me do it and actually wait for me to fail, so that I will listen to him. Even if I succeed, it doesn't matter. He is the major shareholder and he will get the money all the same."
Zhou Qiang is not stupid, of course he can see through these overt and covert tricks.
It was rare for him to show a bit of dejection in front of these two minors who were much younger than him. He said, "Mr. Liu thinks he is my benefactor and has been very dissatisfied with my attitude over the years. The incident with my wife really just gave him an excuse to act in advance."
"He has produced a lot of head-swapping games in the past two years and sold them overseas. The sales are very good, which makes his employees more convinced of him. But I always feel that the trouble happened in the past two years."
President Zhou paused and asked, "Mr. Shengda, do you usually read current affairs? ... I do. The overseas market is good, but I always feel that in the next two years, we may have to block and prohibit the export of apps from our country. Uh, this is just my humble opinion..."
Sheng Yuxiao nodded: "Well, you are right. He won't be able to go far on that path."
After hearing what Sheng Yuxiao said, Mr. Zhou felt more at ease.
"If you do business without paying attention to the wind direction, it means you think your life is too long." Sheng Yuxiao said calmly.
Li Xiaoya nodded beside him and said, "Okay, I'll remember that."
"Then how do you think Mr. Sheng can kick him out?" Mr. Zhou asked.
"Introduce a third person."
"Mr. Sheng means... to sell some shares and then bring in a major shareholder?" Mr. Zhou's expression froze slightly.
Mr. Sheng has his eyes on the shares he holds?
"What are you thinking about? I'm not interested in your shares. If I buy them, can I still kick out Mr. Liu? He would like to rely on your company for the rest of his life and get a share of the profits for the rest of his life." Sheng Yuxiao sneered.
Li Xiaoya reacted immediately and said crisply, "Sell it to me."
Mr. Zhou thought he didn't hear clearly, so he asked blankly, "What?"
Sheng Yuxiao smiled, rubbed Li Xiaoya's head and said, "We are so in sync, Li Xiaoya!"
"Yes, sell it to her!" Sheng Yuxiao said.
"But it's not enough. It's better to sell one more person."
Mr. Zhou's head was buzzing, and he thought, are you really not here to take my shares?
But after thinking about it again and again, he didn't think his company was valuable to Sheng Yuxiao.
"Sell one more person?"
"Well, you have to look non-threatening. If your CEO Liu sees that you are so stubborn that you start selling shares, will this company still be viable? He will cash out and run away, leaving you to laugh at his joke."
"I'm afraid Mr. Xiao will follow suit and sell. If he buys back, he will become the largest shareholder. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"So we have to buy some from your college roommate and Mr. Xiao."
"What if Mr. Xiao only sells it to Mr. Liu?"
"Do I need to teach you this?"
"...I understand. But the risk is too great. I don't know if it's worth taking."
"Don't you have the answer in your heart? You founded this business yourself, not inherited it. You want it to be on the right track more than anyone else."
Mr. Zhou was speechless and could only squeeze out one sentence: "You are right."
"Besides, your company structure itself is too simple. One person wants to overpower you, and the other is a conservative. There is actually no one whose interests are aligned with yours. How do you play it?"
Sheng Yuxiao shook his head indifferently, picked up Li Xiaoya's schoolbag and said, "Let's go home. We have to go to school tomorrow."
Mr. Zhou stood up and said, "Then what about the other person? Do you have any recommendations?"
Sheng Yuxiao lowered his head and thought for a moment: "No. There is no one suitable around me."
Mr. Zhou agreed. Those who dealt with Mr. Sheng were all the sons and daughters of top wealthy families. Once they showed up, Mr. Liu would really want to deny it for the rest of his life.
"I'll think about it again when I get back... I'll think about it again..."
Li Xiaoya didn't move. She tilted her head and said, "I have someone here..."
Mr. Zhou was silent for a moment, then asked, "How old is the person recommended by this lady?"
Li Xiaoya calculated silently: "Should be more than 30 years old?"
That sounds plausible.
He thought she was going to call on the second-generation rich people of the same age to buy shares. That was too ridiculous. Imagine the scene of the shareholders' meeting... Mr. Zhou wanted to cover his face.
"Let me make a call." Li Xiaoya took out a small notebook from his schoolbag, on which were written several numbers.
She flipped over to one of them and called, "Second uncle."
Wei Wenjuan, who didn't get to see his niece tonight, sat up in surprise: "Little Duck? Are you home? Or are you still out?"
As he spoke, Wei Wenjun frowned: "Did you run into any trouble?"
Li Xiaoya asked first: "Uncle, do you have money?"
Wei Wenjuan said, "Of course I have. Not enough money, right? I'll have my bodyguard bring my card to you right away."
"No uncle, do you have money to buy shares in a company?"
"You want to buy a company for fun? Or... is this a homework assigned by your grandpa? Is 80 million enough? In fact, you can just buy the whole company. Why is father so stingy? Why doesn't he just buy it for you?"
Li Xiaoya couldn't get a word in, so he could only say, "Come over here first."
She thought, in front of Grandpa, Second Uncle always seemed to be under pressure. What if he was not in Grandpa's business? Would it be better?

According to Wei Wenjun's previous personality and habits, he would never go out.
But the duckling found him...
And it sounded like he was the only one they found.
"Get the car ready. I'm going out for a trip."
When the servants heard this, they were dumbfounded.
Huh? The Second Young Master not only loves going out now, but he even wants to go out late at night!
About half an hour later.
Wei Wenjun also arrived at the restaurant.
The door opened.
Wei Wenjun didn't expect that there were still people inside, and he instinctively wanted to leave. But thinking of Li Xiaoya, he held back and put on a cold face, trying to support Li Xiaoya.
Mr. Zhou looked at Li Xiaoya on the left and Wei Wenjun on the right.
A little boy, a person with um... mobility problems.
Selling the shares to them really makes it seem like my company is going to go bankrupt.
Sheng Yuxiao was also surprised.
It is indeed very suitable... because someone at Mr. Liu's level would never know who Wei Wenjuan is.
"This is called playing the pig and eating the tiger. Kick out Mr. Liu, then get the publishing license, make the money yourself, and don't share it with the enemy."
