Chapter 257 Chapter 256
In the conference room, the lively atmosphere just now suddenly became silent, and needles could be heard.
The three competing bosses didn't write for a while, Shang Tongmin narrowed his eyes and worried, Long Hui took a peek at him, seeing that he didn't write, so he didn't write either.
Seeing Shang Tongmin squint his eyes, Long Hui simply squinted his eyes too.
Zhang Bo knew that he had no chance, so he was very straightforward. He wrote a cooperation request, and then passed the paper to his vice president to let him calculate the cost.
Chen Shi saw the three bosses thinking, so he simply left and returned to his office, while Fang Zhiyuan stayed.
Half an hour later, Chen Shi came back.
Zhang Bo felt that he had no chance, so he submitted it the fastest.
Long Hui and Shang Tongmin had already written it, and they tore up and rewrote it a long time ago. They looked at each other and submitted the simplest and most funny hidden bid in their personal history together.
When Chen Shi got the paper, he didn't even look at it, just folded it and put it away.
This actually made the three bosses a little admired. If you read it, you might be able to see something from the change in his expression, and you might be able to guess the result.
In the end, Chen Shi refused to look at it, but it made them anxious to death.
Wouldn't it be enough to announce it directly?
If the opening is delayed one day, the three bosses will have to wait an extra day.
Chen Shi smiled and said, "It's rare for everyone to come to Rongcheng, let's have dinner together. In fact, if business cooperation fails, even if you become a business competitor, it will not prevent everyone from becoming friends."
Chen Shi already had the answer. He used his peers to lower the price, and he was a little embarrassed to let them go for nothing.
But that’s how business is, and it can’t be done in one go.
If we fail to cooperate now, we may become enemies after the dinner.
If the cooperation fails, they become competitors. It is too difficult to become friends. Chen Shi said that even he himself did not believe it.
Now that there is no result yet, the three bosses are all in the same mood, neither disappointed nor proud. Chen Shi's invitation is hard to refuse before the result comes out.
Zhang Bo was more open-minded, and had no hope anyway: "President Chen said it well, the truth, friends should not be involved in interests."
Shang Tongmin also agreed: "That's right, Boss Long and I have been rivals for so many years, we are like old buddies when we meet, haha."
"exactly."
Long Huiyan said insincerely, but secretly said in his heart: I wish you would die early and the company would collapse, without a competitor.
There were quite a lot of people from several parties, so Chen Shi asked someone to arrange three tables of banquets, and he also brought a few middle-level leaders to accompany him.
At the banquet, cups of wine were mixed, and Chen Shi was also a little dizzy from drinking.
It took two hours for the banquet to end, and the teams returned to the hotel.
Chen Shi returned to the villa's home, and couldn't help but open the hidden bid they submitted.
"Yager, 3.0% discount for getting goods, no franchise fee, decoration cost 1500 yuan/square meter, priority supply."
"Shanshan, 2.7% discount on purchases, no franchise fee, and decoration costs 1200 yuan per square meter."
"Heilan, 3.0% discount for getting goods, no franchise fee, and decoration cost 1300 yuan per square meter."
In addition, there are other cooperation intentions, cross-shareholding, Chen Shi has no intention.
In terms of inviting shares, the three bosses all mentioned that they need to negotiate, which shows that the equity composition of the three companies is relatively complicated, and it is not up to one person to decide, and they need to see the performance.
Equity is the bottom line for the three bosses. Chen Shi understands that if you can make less money, what's the point of not having control of the company.
As for giving away shares for free, that is impossible, and I would rather choose not to cooperate.
After all, the three companies are all large companies with a market value of tens of billions.
To be honest, Chen Shi didn't want to take a stake in their company either. The market value of the three companies was very high, maybe a little inflated, and it was too difficult to double the stock price.
Even if the stock price can double, he needs to hold down the shares for at least half a year.
For example, if Yager wants to take 10% of the stock, the market value is tens of billions. Chen Shi wants to take out billions in cash, but he really can't get it out.
There are many ways for Chen Shi to make money, and the subsequent investment in clothing factories and high-end comprehensive shopping malls will require a lot of money, so he is really short of money.
Clothing factories and shopping malls do well, and making money is no better than buying stocks of the three companies.
The total market value of Smith Barney's stock is low, and there is a lot of room for growth, but after so long, the stock price has not doubled.
You may ask, isn’t there still Smith Barney stock?
It can be used to operate, why is it short of money?Making money is also making money!
If you want to sell it, there is still a sales restriction period of almost half a year.
Chen Shi wanted to use 20% of Smith Barney's stock as collateral for the operation, but the company's financial manager reminded him that it was not possible.
Smith Barney shares cannot be mortgaged, but can be pledged.
The mortgagor shall be liable for any damage or decrease in value of the pledged property;
The pledgee shall be liable for any damage or decrease in value of the pledged property.
Very obvious difference, but the principle of loan is the same.
The stock pledge rate is negotiated by the lender and the borrower based on the pledged stock quality and the borrower's financial and credit status, but the stock pledge rate cannot exceed 60%.
In fact, getting 50% is not bad.
Therefore, the idea of pledging 90% or even 100% of stocks and then buying other stocks for investment is a fantasy.
Moreover, there is currently no bank that can handle personal stock pledge loan business, the risk is too great, and it is difficult to estimate the real value of stocks, and the bulls may control high-priced stocks.
There are many securities firms that have privately opened the stock pledge loan business, but the loaned money can only be used for stock trading at the desk of the securities company and cannot be transferred to other uses. It is too demanding.
Moreover, his stock is still in the restricted period, and the mortgage loan has become a fantasy, and the brokerage will not take risks.
Of course, Chen Shi's stock worth 20 billion is a very good credit asset for banks. In addition, the company's cash flow is large, so if it borrows money, the borrowing rate will be very high.
The premise is that Chen Shi knows the senior management in the bank.
Chen Shi didn't really want to find a way out of Smith Barney stock, it was too much effort, and it was very good to get a loan of [-] to [-] million, and he was not willing to please the bank's senior management.
At present, the company wants to earn [-] million yuan, which means ten days.
Choosing Yager, Chen Shi had already made a plan.
From 3.5% off to 3% off, I am very satisfied.
Chen Shi thought again and again, he didn't plan to invest in Yager, if he only chose one brand, he was worried that he would be taken advantage of.
It is very common for manufacturers to raise prices.
3% off or 3% off, but the price of the tag has been raised, and the price will be raised on the grounds of raw materials and labor costs.
I feel that Shanshan is also good, and I will give you a 2.7% discount. I guess Mr. Zhang feels that he has no chance, so he simply gives the bottom line price.
It’s okay to open a Shanshan store in each city, so Yager will have 20 stores.
Chen Shi planned to announce it tomorrow, but the three bosses couldn't sleep at night.
At ten o'clock the next morning, Chen Shi hadn't announced it yet, but he received a message from Shang Tongmin.
"Mr. Chen, I was in a daze yesterday and made a typo. Our Yager is offering 2.9% off, not 3% off. No matter how low it is, it will not work. It has reached the bottom line."
Chen Shi was about to ask Fang Zhiyuan to inform Shanshan and Yager's senior management to discuss more detailed cooperation, but he didn't expect an accident.
In fact, Chen Shi was still a little dissatisfied with the 3% discount, so he just delayed it for a while, so that the three bosses felt that they could accept the 3% discount, and if it was lower, they might also accept it.
It is difficult for people to accept too many cuts at once.
Chen Shi thought about the next message: "Thank you Mr. Shang, Mr. Long has a more favorable price. If you can get 2.8% off from Younger, come over to discuss and sign an agreement."
He just tried it out, if it doesn't work, then it's 2.9% off, if it succeeds, it's even better, that's nearly [-] million.
Shang Tongmin received Chen Shi's message, and 1 mud horses flew over his head, cursing in the hotel: "Nimei's Long Hui, I called you last night to chat and said that I voted for 3.1% off, of course I don't Believe it, it turned out to be so much lower."
Mouth twitched triumphantly: "Fortunately, I still have a chance, but in the end it will fall to our house."
"However, the 2.8% discount is too bad, and the profit is too low."
Shang Tongmin paced back and forth in the hotel room, and called the vice president and other attendants to discuss it together.
"Boss, I think you can sign with a 2.8% discount. Shenshi's sales are hot, there are very few returns, and the inventory is consumed quickly. In fact, it is only a little bit worse than the general provincial agent's 3.5." Song Huan, vice president of Youngor's investment promotion department, suggested,
"If we don't sign, we won't even be able to make money from the Shenshi Company, and we will be in competition with their specialty stores."
Shang Tongmin thought for a while, and looked at the time on his phone. It had been more than ten minutes since he received Chen Shi's message, and he was a little anxious.
He took out the cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs, calmed down a little, and then replied to Chen Shi, "Mr. Chen, I will give you an answer later."
He didn't say he agreed, and he didn't say he didn't agree.
I lit another cigarette, went to the window, looked at the scenery in the distance, and quickly made up my mind.
"Hey, it's really troublesome. Mr. Song, you're right. It's not bad to have one less enemy. Besides, we can make money with a 2.8% discount."
