Chapter 339 The butt determines the head "Mr. Lin, two hundred million!" "If you pay me 200 million silver coins, I will give you 45% of the shares, no more!" Zheng Yutong stretched out two fingers, with a hint of determination in his tone! Lin Zehao's face was full of amusement, and he said, "It started out at 50 million, and now it's become 200 million." "According to this calculation, why don't I give you 500 million and sell the entire company to me?" Zheng Yutong smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Lin, it really can't be more. In New World Development, you own 45% of the shares, which makes you the largest shareholder." "If you monopolize more than 50% of the shares, the shares held by other shareholders will be further reduced and difficult to distribute..." Zheng Yutong couldn't understand at all how Lin Zehao managed to be so experienced. Not only did he hold a high position in the underworld, he also achieved such success in the business world! Moreover, Lin Zehao is still so young. Even if he has been practicing since his mother's womb, he can't reach such a high level, right? Does such an all-round genius really exist in this world? Looking at Lin Zehao and then at his two sons, Zheng Yutong felt that the old saying was true: comparing people will lead to death, comparing goods will lead to throwing them away. If the Zheng family could produce such a person, he would have retired long ago and enjoyed life around the world. Why should I, at my age, waste my energy and energy on doing business and competing with a monster like Lin Zehao?
After realizing this, Zheng Yutong felt exhausted both physically and mentally. "The question of how they divide up the equity is not something I consider." "In a word, 150 million, 51% of the shares." "You'll have two minutes to think about it." Lin Zehao put down the pure gold Dupont lighter in his hand, raised his left hand, looked at the limited edition Daytona on his wrist, pressed the chronograph button, and said with a smile. Zheng Yutong's face darkened, and his whole body was instantly drenched in cold sweat, with beads of sweat on his forehead dripping down uncontrollably. He picked up the white handkerchief and kept wiping it, but it didn't have much effect. Even the handkerchief was almost wet with sweat. At this moment, Zheng Yutong's heart seemed to be filled with countless huge rocks, swaying in the air, making him feel anxious and at a loss, and he had absolutely no solution or clue to the problem. One hundred and fifty million for a 51% stake may seem like a business transaction, but in fact, it is not much different from outright robbery. From any angle, Zheng Yutong definitely didn't want to agree. There's no other reason, the price paid is just too high. But Zheng Yutong didn't have the courage to say no. As for the hunchback Hua who was invited to mediate, he didn't dare to say a word and acted like a slave who followed Lin Zehao's orders. Under such circumstances, Zheng Yutong had every reason to doubt whether he could get out of the box if he refused. Even if I could leave safely, how much of the foundation I have built over the years would be left? Power and wealth are like the most deadly poison in the world. Once you have tasted it, no one wants to give it up, and the same is true for Zheng Yutong. Just when Zheng Yutong was hesitating, the phone in the box suddenly rang.
This sudden change made everyone look up with surprise on their faces. Only Lin Zehao maintained a proper and elegant smile and waved to the younger brother beside him, "Bring the phone over, this is for Mr. Zheng." The younger brother immediately did as he was told, pulled the phone line and brought the phone to Zheng Yutong. Although Zheng Yutong was a little surprised, he still picked up the phone doubtfully. Before he could say anything, there was a burst of noise from the other end of the phone. "Boss, I'm Ah Shui!" "Our vault was seized by this group of people, and he asked me to..." Before Ah Shui could finish his words, a hand covered his mouth and the microphone in his hand was taken away. "Mr. Zheng, please think carefully about my boss's proposal." "Don't worry, your people and goods are safe now." "However, if you make the wrong choice, we cannot guarantee it..." Just these simple words made Zheng Yutong's head buzz and the whole world seemed to freeze in silence. He stood up shakily, and felt as if there were golden stars surrounding his eyes. His eyes went dark and he almost fell to the ground. The vault is of utmost importance to any jewelry company! This vault holds one-third of the gold reserves for the entire New World Development! If he were to be robbed, Zheng Yutong would be badly hurt even if he didn't go bankrupt! You know, this is not just a matter of losing money, but it will also create a crisis of trust! The company does not belong to him alone, he is just the largest shareholder. The series of incidents that have occurred during this period have greatly reduced Zheng Yutong's prestige among shareholders. If the vault gets robbed again, those shareholders will definitely doubt his ability! Nowadays, in the business world, investment failure is not terrible, there is always a chance to make a comeback. But once trust is lost, there is nothing left! He can withstand the loss of the vault and still refuse to bow to Lin Zehao. But, if this kind of thing happens once, it will happen twice. Who can guarantee that it will not happen again in the future? If he doesn't agree, would Lin Zehao let him go? As the saying goes, there is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but you can never guard against thieves for a thousand days. Especially since they opened their doors to do business, Lin Zehao was in the dark while he was in the light. If this goes on for a long time, how can they fight and win this war? The vault is actually not important. What is important is that Lin Zehao has clearly proved that he has the ability to launch such a thing at any time! For Zheng Yutong, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back! In a flash, after figuring out all these things, Zheng Yutong immediately put his hands together, bowed deeply to Lin Zehao, took a deep breath, and said, "Mr. Lin, I surrender." "I agree to your terms..." As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yutong's whole body was like a deflated ball. He completely slumped in the chair, his eyes dull and completely unfocused. Seeing this, Zheng Jiachun, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh in her heart, looking distraught. Family members know their own business. New World Development can be said to be the pillar industry of the Zheng family. It not only has pillar industries such as Chow Tai Fook, but also many real estate projects and hotel projects.
After collectively giving up 51% of its shares, New World Development was no longer named Zheng, but Lin. Although after giving up a certain proportion of the shares, Cheng Yutong still holds about 30% of the shares, and is still the second largest shareholder of New World Development. But after being used to being the first, who would want to be the second? Especially for Zheng Jiachun, this is equivalent to taking the family business away from him. This caused his value as a rich second-generation to be reduced by more than half. However, even his father couldn't beat Lin Zehao, let alone him. There is no other choice but to endure in silence. Lin Zehao took the microphone from his younger brother and said, "Release them and withdraw." Then, hang up the phone. On the other end of the phone, after Chen Guoqiang received the order, he began to call on everyone to retreat. Ah Shui, who was lying on the ground, looked at the actions of these uninvited guests with disbelief written all over his face. He was confused and blurted out subconsciously, "Where are you going?" Tornado, who was wearing a mask, stopped and asked, "What? Do I need to report to you where we are going?" "If you have the time, why don't you practice your shooting skills? I don't understand how someone who can't even hold a gun can get the position of security captain..." After saying that, Tornado immediately kicked A Shui in the chin with incredible precision. With just the right amount of force, his eyes rolled back and he passed out. All members of Hutchison Security were evacuating in an orderly manner. As for the bright gold on the shelf, although they also had desire in their eyes, no one had the thought of secretly taking a piece. To them, gold was valuable, but the boss's order was as heavy as Mount Tai! The camera turns and returns to the private room of Fei Ji Tea House. Zheng Yutong signed his name on the equity transfer agreement prepared by Li Wenbin. At the same time, the finance department of Hutchison Holdings also transferred 150 million yuan to the company account of New World Development. When signing, he clearly felt that the hand holding the pen was shaking. Seeing this, Lin Zehao took out a box of Marlboro from his pocket, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it. As the smoke dissipated, his magnetic voice slowly rang out. "Mr. Zheng, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Those who are familiar with me know that I don't like to let my friends suffer." "You sold 51% of the shares for 150 million. It seemed like a loss-making business, but in fact it ushered in a larger market." "I have several mines in Myanmar, and we have all kinds of fineness. Hutchison Jewelry is going for the high-end route. Do you understand what I mean?" Lin Zehao was still so calm, but Zheng Yutong subconsciously jumped up from his chair and said, "Mr. Lin, do you mean that we can hand over the low-end jade business to New World Development in the future?" As the saying goes, listen to the sound of gongs and drums, and listen to the tone of words. Lin Zehao has made his words so clearly. If Zheng Yutong still doesn't understand, then just find a piece of tofu and hit yourself to death.
Why did he come into conflict with Hutchison Jewellery in the first place? Wasn’t it because Li Jiayuan, who was pushed to the forefront, refused his request to purchase raw jade materials? You should know that as early as 1964, Cheng Yutong purchased a company in South Africa that had the De Beers diamond rough license and imported diamonds to Hong Kong Island. If he wants to hype up something that is essentially worthless, then how could he not be interested in jade, which has a certain value in itself? However, there are only a few well-known jade producing areas in Southeast Asia. Although he has money, he does not have strong power and manpower to expand overseas. Buying jade from dealers not only cannot guarantee the quality, but the price will be much higher. The most important thing is that for businesses like theirs, it is necessary to ensure a stable supply of goods. It’s impossible that the customer comes to buy today and the product is available, but when he comes back a few days later, it’s gone, right? Therefore, Zheng Yutong has never found a long-term, stable, trustworthy and reasonably priced supply channel. As the saying goes, if you plant flowers with care, they will not bloom; if you plant willows by accident, they will grow into a shade. I originally thought this was a deal that would definitely result in a loss, but unexpectedly there was a turn of events. If this prerequisite is met, from a long-term development perspective, this transaction is definitely not a loss, but a win-win situation. "Of course, I said, I never like to let my friends suffer." Lin Zehao has long been aware of one thing: there is no end to the money in this world. If you want to go further, you must learn to share the benefits. On the premise of ensuring absolute control, he doesn't mind giving the scraps that he doesn't value to others. Only in this way can we have stronger risk resistance and greater autonomy in the near future! Even if there are certain groups or certain individuals who want to force him to do something he doesn't want to do, he always has the right to refuse! This is Lin Zehao’s long-term ambition! Earning money is just an additional condition. "Mr. Lin, you are truly a young hero. I am so lucky to be born in the same era as you!" "Your methods today really broadened my horizons after half a lifetime of experience in the business world. I was able to enter the inner world and see the true Buddha." Cheng Yutong's face was full of admiration, and his tone was sincere and full of emotion. "If I don't enter the arena, my seeing you is like a frog in a well seeing the moon." "When I entered the martial world, I saw you as a mayfly saw the sky." "It turns out that there are such magical methods in this world." Although Zheng Yutong's words contained some flattery, they were enough to show his true feelings! Lin Zehao's methods seemed overbearing and decisive, making him unable to resist. But in fact, from a long-term perspective, the benefits gained are like addictive drugs that are simply impossible to resist! Spending money in exchange for a longer-term development prospect in the future is the ultimate goal of these businessmen. For them, they are not afraid of spending money, but they are afraid that they cannot earn back the money they have spent. Now with Lin Zehao's commitment and joining, New World Development is fully capable of monopolizing the jewelry market in Hong Kong Island. Coupled with the newly opened jade market, this piece of cake will be much bigger than before. Zheng Yutong felt that this method was more like the kingly way followed by emperors and generals. It was like the bright sun, dazzling and scorching, leaving people nowhere to hide and unable to even think of resisting.
"Mr. Zheng, you are so polite. From now on, we will be partners and a family." "If you need help, just ask. I can do my best." The amount of flattery that Lin Zehao hears on a daily basis can be described as countless, not to mention that he has always been immune to such things. Given his current status, if he wants to hear flattery, he dare not say too much, but as long as he does not repeat it for a month, his subordinates can still do it. "Mr. Lin is so polite. I will definitely bother you in the future..." Zheng Yutong had just said a few polite words when Li Wenbin took out a document from his briefcase and placed it in front of him. "Mr. Zheng, these are some basic rules that all companies controlled by Brother Hao must follow." “We don’t ask you to be exactly like Hutchison Whampoa in all aspects, but we still hope you can make some changes in the most basic treatment of workers.” "Brother Hao doesn't want to see a situation where his workers can only get 10,000 yuan for funeral expenses after they die in the line of duty." Li Wenbin's words were not harsh, but to Zheng Yutong's ears, they were not as simple as they seemed. He could completely ignore what Li Wenbin meant. But he had to obey Lin Zehao's orders. "Mr. Lin, these are all people below who misinterpreted my meaning. Although I am not as generous as you in treating the workers, I would never do such a thing." "Don't worry, I will rectify the situation immediately after I return, and this kind of thing will never happen again." Zheng Yutong said this with great confidence, almost signing a military order on the spot. As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Lin, are you interested in increasing your stake in New World Development?" Lin Zehao raised his beautiful eyebrows and asked, "Oh?" "Zheng Sheng's role change is really fast. I wonder what price I need to pay?" Of course he knew that there was no such thing as pie in the sky in this world. From a certain perspective, what you put in and what you get out are always proportional. "You now hold 51% of the shares, I hold 30%, my old friend Xian Weijian holds 7%, and the remaining 12% of the shares are in the hands of two foreigners." "I think those two foreigners would be happy to sell their shares. I will be responsible for purchasing the silver paper, and you can go and negotiate with them." "After the deal is done, you take 8% and I take 4%. What do you think of this deal?" A businessman is someone who can discuss everything. Since there is no way to stop Lin Zehao from taking absolute control of the development of New World. Then Zheng Yutong will have to think of various ways to make up for his losses as much as possible. This is the butt that determines the head. Prior to this, Cheng Yutong owned 58 percent of the shares, which is now equivalent to a reduction of 28 percent. However, Lin Zehao paid 150 million yuan, and he sold the most shares, so he also received the most money.
So, in reality, he didn't lose much. If he could get the 4% from the two foreigners, he would be able to stop the loss to the maximum extent. Add to that the development prospects brought by Lin Zehao Holdings, and if you calculate carefully, Zheng Yutong will definitely make money. (End of this chapter)
