Top of the Great Era

After returning to China, the first thing to do was to meet Lao Zhang to discuss the shareholder meeting.

Zhang Chaoyang met a new girlfriend recently, and he was out on a date when he was out, but Zhou Buqi called him out immediately, so he had to run from the south city to the east city to meet him, feeling a little angry.

Zhou Buqi was even angrier, "Tomorrow is the shareholders' meeting! Do you still have time to pick up girls outside?"

Zhang Chaoyang said speechlessly: "Isn't it just a formality? With Ziweixing and Sohu around, this is enough to control the field. What is there to worry about?"

Zhou Buqi said, "Aren't there many foreign investors coming?"

"Even if you come, it's a public-funded trip." Zhang Chaoyang is very experienced. Sohu has been listed for so many years, and he has dealt with foreigners all the year round. That's it, it's fine to treat them deliciously and entertainingly."

Zhou Buqi had never held a shareholder meeting of this level, so he was lacking in this aspect, and he couldn't believe it, "Is this all right?"

Zhang Chaoyang said absent-mindedly: "Why not? You've already made your debut, so who doesn't applaud?"

Zhou Buqi said, "You've just come out, how can you talk!"

This is a tea room, and Zhang Chaoyang leaned back lazily, "Don't worry, I've made arrangements. Arrange the representatives of foreign investment institutions, arrange the financial reporters who join in the fun, and the matter will be settled. Holding a shareholders meeting without discussing the company's strategy and business is easier than holding a board of directors. The secretary of the board of directors presides over the process, and I will say a few words, and you will say a few words, and it will be over in an hour."

Zhou Buqi is really inexperienced, "Is it so fast? I heard that some shareholder meetings may take several days in a row."

Zhang Chaoyang said indifferently: "That's because the shareholding is too scattered, and the various shareholders have to constantly play games to unify their opinions. We don't need it. We have discussed it. Who can have an opinion? If you have an opinion, you have to keep it. I'm not qualified to be picky. If you like to stay, if you don't stay, cash out and get out!"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "Your style is quite tough!"

That's really a compliment.

In the past years in charge of Sohu, Zhang Chaoyang really played those foreigners around.Because he often travels around the mountains and rivers and does not do business properly, several core shareholders and directors in the United States once conspired with the company's executives in private to drive Lao Zhang away.

At that time, Lao Zhang was preparing to take Xinhuan to climb the mountain. After hearing about it, he immediately returned to the company.

Then a series of harsh treatment was launched.

A large number of people were fired, even Gu Yongqiang, Sohu's second-in-command at the time, was also beaten.

This allowed Gu Yongqiang to leave Sohu and start Youku.

Not only that, Lao Zhang also cleaned up the board of directors and fired all foreign directors.

Then completely control Sohu.

Don't look at Lao Zhang like a great fairy every day, happy and not enterprising, but he is not bad at the wrist of power operation.

Zhang Chaoyang sighed, "Whether you are tough or not depends on who you are. In front of you, is it not the same as a soft guy? Or is it not the same as being played around by you?"

Zhou Buqi coughed his throat, and said solemnly: "Old Zhang, I found that you have misunderstood me these years, as if I was cheating you. Do the math yourself. When you were at the peak of your career, your How much is your net worth? How much is it now? I have heard that you will be among the top [-] on this year's Hurun Report in China!"

Zhang Chaoyang laughed, "Thanks to you."

Zhou Buqi snorted, "It's good to know."

Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand and concluded: "Anyway, don't worry about the shareholders' meeting. I've made arrangements for you here. Come tomorrow one hour early, get the speech and familiarize yourself with it. Then arrive Once you read it at the venue, it will all come alive. You will be on stage."

Zhou Buqi looked at him vigilantly, "I don't need to prepare anything?"

Zhang Chaoyang said proudly: "No! You just came back from the United States, go home and rest. After you rest, you can have a meeting tomorrow. The shareholders' meeting is full of fake things, so don't take it too seriously."

Zhou Buqi curled his lips, and said in a strange way: "If I don't participate in anything, I will let you handle everything... Then I will go tomorrow and find that you have already set up a net for me, and then you will appoint me as Changyou's deputy. Chairman, don't I call every day should not, and the earth is not working?"

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned by his rhetoric, and then slapped his thigh, "Damn! You said it earlier! Why didn't I think of it! How about this, let Jieyu Media arrange a play for my girlfriend, let If she is the heroine, I won't trip you up at the shareholder meeting, how about it?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Your girlfriend? Which one?"

"Didn't I tell you last time, Zhang Xinyi." Zhang Chaoyang was a little strange, "Don't you know? She is still a little famous, and she has filmed many TV dramas."

Zhou Buqi felt a headache, "She doesn't have any acting skills, how can I arrange a heroine? The TV series is okay."

Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile: "How many TV dramas has she acted in? She has told me several times that she wants to act in a movie. If you don't arrange for me, then Sohu Video can only invest in film and television works. When the time comes The outside world picked it up as soon as it was picked up. I'm learning from you now, keeping a low profile, and I don't want my scandal to spread all over the Internet."

Zhou Buqi said helplessly: "Then don't look for it from the entertainment industry, you are not too young, find an honest man to marry, and have a child and live a good life?"

A black line appeared on Zhang Chaoyang's forehead, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhou Buqi laughed and sighed, "Okay, let her report to Jieyu Media tomorrow, and I will ask Xu Baihui to arrange for her. Don't think about the heroine, let's see if there is any suitable supporting actress."

"Okay." Zhang Chaoyang was very happy, and stretched his waist, "I come to the tea room every time to drink tea, how boring?"

Zhou Buqi looked at him angrily, "Where are you going then?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Everyone who is rich has a courtyard dedicated to drinking tea. When he is free, he can sit down with friends to drink tea and chat."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Then you buy one, and I'll get it too."

"I have no money."

"I don't have any money either."

"You don't have any money yet?" Zhang Chaoyang almost died laughing, "Who would believe it?"

Zhou Buqi said solemnly: "I really don't have any money. Recently, I have been unable to open the pot again. I plan to find a large Wall Street institution to borrow 20 billion US dollars."

"How much?" Zhang Chaoyang almost died of fright, "20 billion dollars? What do you want to do? Lose a bet in Las Vegas?"

Zhou Buqi said: "There is a baseball team in Los Angeles. It is not doing well and needs to be sold. I plan to take it over."

"I go!"

Zhang Chaoyang almost fainted.

This bastard boy!
This is going to God!

Enough with football, and switch to baseball?Just make a random move and spend 20 billion US dollars?
What kind of shit hobby is this!

Wouldn't it be nice to replace it with a pretty girl?

……

The next day, Zhou Buqi changed into the brand-new suit and brown leather shoes that Shi Jinglin customized for him, and was about to leave for the shareholder meeting.

Standing in front of the mirror, Shi Jinglin tied a tie for him at the end.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "We stand together, we are really a man and a woman, a natural pair!"

"Stop teasing me."

"From the bottom of my heart."

"Go out and lie to other little girls!" Shi Jinglin never used sweet talk, "By the way, let me tell you something, the cooperation plan of Dongpeng Special Drink has basically been negotiated."

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, "So fast? The efficiency is quite high!"

Shi Jinglin rolled her eyes at him and pursed her lips, "It's not because your boss Zhou is taking too much face."

Zhou Buqi said: "No, no, it's because my Linlin's ability is strong, how did you decide in the end?"

Shi Jinglin said: "Yuanwei Group only buys part of the equity of Dongpeng Special Drinks, which is to establish a joint-stock company of Dongpeng Special Drinks. The two parent companies are Yuanwei Group and Dongpeng Beverage Group."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It's very good, everyone gets what they need, and all three parties are satisfied. Dongpeng Group needs to solve the remaining problems after the state-owned enterprise restructuring, and Dongpeng Special Drink can also enter the product line and sales channels of Yuanwei Group , Yuanwei Group has successfully opened up the first profit growth point after listing. The interests of the three parties are taken care of, which is very good.”

Shi Jinglin helped her tie the tie, but she didn't let go. She looked up at him and pouted slightly, "But now there is a little disagreement."

Zhou Buqi basically guessed, "Shares?"

"Yes." Shi Jinglin nodded lightly, "Dongpeng is actually quite sincere, saying that it promises that the two parties can each hold 50% of the shares and jointly manage the subsidiary of Dongpeng Special Drink. But one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Is there a dual patriarchal system?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, it is definitely not possible to divide the shares equally. Once there is a disagreement, there will be a big problem. The relationship between primary and secondary must be put forward in advance."

Shi Jinglin said decisively: "Yuanwei Group must take the majority stake! 51%!"

Yuanwei Group is its own company, so of course Zhou Buqi wants to control Dongpeng Special Drink.However, if you compare your heart with your heart, Mr. Lin of Dongpeng is definitely not willing to delegate power.

Zhou Buqi pondered for a while, "Where is Dongpeng's brand? Have you discussed it?"

Yuanwei Group is a big company. After taking over the product of Dongpeng Special Drink, the first thing to do is to smash advertisements on a large scale to make the product famous in all directions.

Once the advertisement is launched, "Dongpeng" will become famous, benefiting not only Dongpeng's special drinks, but also the entire "Dongpeng series" of food, beverages, and mineral water.

This will give Dongpeng Beverage Group an advantage in vain.

Shi Jinglin said: "Dongpeng is just to the east of Pengcheng, where their factory is located. It is impossible for us to compete for this brand. Even if they will make some concessions on the purchase price, they can't buy it every year. The group asks Dongpeng Group for brand promotion fees, right?"

Zhou Buqi suggested: "It can be done like this. The 'Dongpeng' brand belongs to Dongpeng Beverage Group, but it must be permanently leased to Dongpeng Special Drink Co., Ltd. All the brand premiums created by Dongpeng-related advertisements are related to Wei Group has nothing to do."

Shi Jinglin's beautiful eyes lit up, "If you want to get it, give it up first? Use the brand to make a fuss, to persuade them to back down on the equity split of Dongpeng Special Drink? I think it's okay, and I'll call them in a while."
