Chapter 630 Internal Competition
Chen Qiaoshan agreed so readily that everyone, including Tan Zhi, was caught off guard.
However, the ending was always good. Xie Jun and Zhu Yiming were both a little excited, especially Zhu Yiming. Returning to China from Silicon Valley to start a business was an impulsive decision. Although he received help from many fellow students, the funds were not solved for a day, and the project could die at any time. Now that he has received the exact news, how could he not be excited?
Zhu Yiming was about to go down the mountain on the spot, but Chen Qiaoshan was still persuaded. "Mr. Zhu, since you are all here, you might as well relax. Don't worry about the contract. The New Year is about to be celebrated. Let's talk about it after the New Year."
Zhu Yiming was a little reluctant and wanted to implement the contract on paper immediately. However, Xie Jun was very tactful and advised: "Xiao Zhu, it's a bit abrupt for us to come here today. You're only the New Year, but you can't delay Mr. Chen's New Year's Day. The same is true for the talks after the New Year."
Taking advantage of the lack of communication between Xie Jun and Zhu Yiming, Tan Zhi walked to Chen Qiaoshan and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, the semiconductor industry is quite special. You didn't even look at the plan, why did you decide to invest?"
After looking at Tan Zhi, Chen Qiaoshan asked in a plain tone: "Why, are you not optimistic about this project? Do you think I'm too hasty?"
Even though Tan Zhi thought so in his heart, he would definitely not admit it. He said, "No, it just feels very sudden."
Hearing him say this, Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "After all, you just think I'm too hasty."
Seeing that Tan Zhi wanted to argue, Chen Qiaoshan said, "Okay, I'm just kidding. Actually, before you came, I had asked someone to inquire and already had some understanding of Zhu Yiming's situation."
"No wonder." Tan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and he explained: "My friend and Mr. Xie have worked together many times. He heard that Framework reached a cooperation with Qingshan Capital, so he found me."
Tan Zhi looked at the distance and saw Zhu Yiming and Xie Jun pointing at the distant village. Obviously, they deliberately distanced the distance. He continued: "Lao Xie is very energetic. Although he is from Tsinghua University, he has been running around the United States all year round. You may not know that there is a Tsinghua Entrepreneurs Association in Silicon Valley, and Lao Xie is one of the founders."
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoshan thought of the Tsinghua Entrepreneurs Association. Anyone who can enter this association is from Tsinghua University. However, more than 400 members have more than 100 companies listed at home and abroad, with a market value of over one trillion yuan, and the scale of investment funds managed by association members also exceeds one trillion yuan. This is the core of the Tsinghua Gang.
So far, Chen Qiaoshan has not heard about the relevant news from the Tsinghua Entrepreneurs Association. It seems that he is still in the bud. As for how much energy Xie Jun has, Chen Qiaoshan doesn’t think much about it, but it is definitely not a bad thing to be a manager of Tsinghua Science and Technology Park.
After chatting with Tan Zhi for a few words, Chen Qiaoshan asked, "How is the framework going on? Why did you hear that you have cut off your wife?"
When talking about this, Tan Zhi had a headache. The couple had a very unhappy quarrel over this matter and had a cold war between them for a long time.
His wife was originally a management team with a framework and knew a lot about the company's situation. She opposed Tan Zhi's involvement in this mess at the beginning, but he not only took over as the CEO of the company, but also to clear obstacles and establish his authority. The first thing Tan Zhi did when he took office was to cut off his wife.
That's the thing, but the actual operation is not very effective.
Outsiders say that the couple is playing double acts and the family is not peaceful. Tan Zhi knows his own hardships. When he heard Chen Qiaoshan ask, he couldn't help but complain. "Mr. Chen, the company's hearts are fluctuating, and the video advertising business is losing money every day. Although Qingshan Capital has invested capital, it is only enough to fill the holes. The annual budget has not yet been released. At this rate, I'm afraid that there will be a dispute after the Spring Festival."
Chen Qiaoshan was a little strange. Why did Tan Zhi’s legend of frame-making in the last life, and now he looked like this? He asked: “Is there no way?”
"There must be a solution." Tan Zhi hesitated for a moment and continued: "Mr. Chen, the video advertising business is too costly and the effect is not good. I have a preliminary plan to package and sell this part of the content."
Chen Qiaoshan's thoughts were slightly moved, and he asked calmly: "Have you asked other shareholders' opinions?"
Tan Zhi was shocked. Chen Qiaoshan's question was a bit intriguing.
Although Tan Zhi is the CEO of Framework Media, he is just a professional manager. Qingshan Capital is the largest shareholder. Moreover, he knows that Chen Qiaoshan’s goal is not small, and investing in Framework Media is far from as simple as it seems.
"It's just a preliminary idea and hasn't mentioned it to others." Tan Zhi was very cautious. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he would not touch the major shareholder's right to know, especially if there was an agreement with Chen Qiaoshan first.
After a pause, he asked again: "Mr. Chen, if you cannot clean up this part of the loss-making business as soon as possible, the company will definitely not be able to turn a profit."
Chen Qiaoshan understood what Tan Zhi meant, and he was testing himself.
Whether the framework is profitable or not has a completely different significance to Qingshan Capital. If Chen Qiaoshan agrees to this plan, the framework will quickly turn losses into profits and get on track, and it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to swallow it back. If you continue to lose money, it will be natural to acquire the shares in the hands of other shareholders.
After Liu Chang completes the merger and acquisition, and then discusses the merger with the framework, whether it is led by Liu Chang or Tan Zhi, it is no different from Chen Qiaoshan, but Tan Zhi obviously doesn't think so.
A framework media that continues to lose money will definitely be more beneficial to Qingshan Capital. Chen Qiaoshan knows this. He believes that Tan Zhi also understands that it is obviously of a profound meaning to mention selling off negative assets at this time.
Without waiting for Chen Qiaoshan to make a statement, Tan Zhi continued: "But selling now will definitely not be worth the loss. For the nearly 10,000 yuan video panel, including the venue rent, the company has invested more than 30 million yuan in total. After a year, the depreciation of fixed assets alone will be more than half of the losses. Selling now is obviously inconsistent with the interests of the major shareholder."
Listening to Tan Zhi talking to himself, Chen Qiaoshan did not interrupt.
He knew that Tan Zhi's words were not true, and he would definitely not express his opinion easily before he figured out the other party's true intentions.
Seeing that Chen Qiaoshan never spoke, Tan Zhi had no choice but to say, "Mr. Chen, I think I can already contact other shareholders and talk about the acquisition of shares. The video business has suffered serious losses. Even if it is not handled now, it will still be sold sooner or later, and it will not be delayed for too long."
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoshan had basically understood Tan Zhi’s thoughts.
Once the framework of acquisition is early, Tan Zhi is more suitable for negotiations with acquisitions than Liu Chang. Mergers and acquisitions in the same industry have more advantages and are famous for their experts than Kangsheng Technology. In this way, Tan Zhi has changed from a helper to a trader, and the meaning of competition is obvious.
Chen Qiaoshan is not against competition, but from his own heart, he trusts Liu Chang more.
For old-fashioned market players like Tan Zhi, they must have the ability, but if they want to take it for themselves, they can only tie them up with common interests.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that anyone's existence was valuable. No matter what he did, he needed to have a pattern. He was confined to a small circle and was destined to not be a big deal.
Regardless of whether Tan Zhi has selfishness or not, his suggestion is still very operational. However, Chen Qiaoshan did not give an answer immediately, but said: "It's going to be the New Year, so let's do it. You can come up with a plan first and we will discuss it after the New Year."
Tan Zhi was helpless about Chen Qiaoshan's pronunciation.
Although the result was not as good as expected, at least he was not rejected directly, and Tan Zhi was not dissatisfied with it. However, he looked up to Chen Qiaoshan again, invested neatly and handled internal disputes, but he was a very old man. This comparison is really hard to see through.
