After saying goodbye to Zhuoni, Meng Zhen took the contract home.
Ye Ning, Fu Xiao and others were at home, and Liu Yuzhou was also at home.
"How's it going, wife? Did you see anyone?"
As soon as Meng Zhen arrived home, Liu Yuzhou came forward and asked him with concern.
Meng Zhen took out the contract and business card.
"Azhou, do you know anyone at the Exit-Entry Administration? The person I met today is a foreigner named Zhuoni. Here's his business card."
Lu Zhengting has connections at immigration. Liu Yuzhou looked at his mother and said, "Mom, call Uncle Lu and ask him to check this person out."
"Okay, I'll call now." Ye Ning took the business card, walked to the phone, and dialed a number.
Fu Xiao looked at the contract on the table and asked curiously, "Xiao Meng, tell us quickly, what did that person want to do with you today? What's going on with this contract?"
The contract is hundreds of pages long, with very professional rules and regulations, which looks very intimidating.
Even Fu Xiao, who graduated from a foreign business school, couldn't see through it.
Meng Zhen said, "Aunt, have you heard of the Blackstone Private Equity Fund in the United States? The person who came to see me today claimed to be an investment manager at Blackstone and wanted to invest one million Chinese yuan in our brand."
Meng Zhen shared with everyone the details of his meeting with Zhuoni today.
Fu Xiao had heard of private equity funds when he was in school. There were many such companies on Wall Street.
Among them, Blackstone is indeed very famous.
Many companies are proud to receive investment from Blackstone.
"I know this organization. Its headquarters is on Wall Street."
"So, what does this have to do with the person behind the scenes?" Fu Xiao wondered.
Meng Zhen explained, "Investing is about making money. Normal people would invest in companies with potential. Who would invest in a company with a damaged image and facing huge losses?"
"Unless, they're not looking to invest at all, but to acquire us. If they want to acquire our brand, it means the people behind it are also in the clothing industry."
While Meng Zhen was explaining, Ye Ning finished his call and came over to listen.
Ye Ning didn't know much about investment, so he asked, "But they're going to give us one million Chinese yuan, aren't they? They've also agreed to let you continue to manage the company. We'll get the money, and we'll still hold the shares. So, it seems like we're not losing out, are we?"
At first glance, Fu Xiao and Liu Yuzhou also thought that this was the case.
Meng Zhen shook his head, everyone was still too naive.
Capital is not charity, how can there be such a good thing?
She flipped to the relevant page in the contract and explained, "He invested in us in order to acquire shares in the company. Look at what's written here: one million Chinese yuan. This means he will acquire 65% of our shares. This means he will immediately become the company's largest shareholder."
"Furthermore, the terms also mention a series of restructuring of the company. In short, after the changes are completed according to these requirements, the company's management will basically be completely replaced."
"By then, even though we still hold a 35% stake, we will no longer have a say in the company. We will not be able to interfere in the company's development, operations, or financial management."
After Meng Zhen explained this, everyone immediately understood.
By accepting this investment, the company will completely change its owner.
"As for the one million Chinese yuan investment, I dare say we won't receive a penny."
What? Everyone was confused.
Fu Xiao was surprised: "Didn't I invest one million Chinese yuan into the company? Why can't I get a penny?"
Ye Ning was also puzzled. "Doesn't the contract say that one million yuan should be transferred to the company's account?"
