Chapter 366 [Anxious Mr. Zeng (Happy New Year)]

In the eyes of many investors, Qunxing Capital is simply giving money to Xiaobenzi, a typical operation of "people are stupid and have a lot of money".

Moreover, the story of "hydrogen energy" is very popular now. After the news that Qunxing Capital will spend 200 billion yuan to buy ATL, many people think that it is time to take over.

TDK Group spent US$1 million to acquire a 30% stake in ATL five years ago, and it can be sold for US$[-] billion five years later, which is just right to leave this burden to Qunxing Capital, and then transition to research in the field of hydrogen energy.

The current situation is that "hydrogen energy" is the future. Lithium battery energy has been eliminated, and Japan, as a leader in this industry, has given up and switched to the embrace of "hydrogen energy".

Qunxing Capital is actually a baby?If lithium batteries really have a future?Why would the best Japanese in this field give up?Buying ATL at this time is not a catcher, what is it?
And it also cost a sky-high price of 200 billion yuan to buy a bunch of assets that will inevitably depreciate without a future. It is true that people are stupid and have a lot of money.

When the news came out, many so-called experts or people in the industry wrote small essays on the Internet to "persuade" Qunxing Capital to stop before it's too late, and don't be a catcher.

Not long after the news came out that Qunxing Capital was going to buy ATL with a huge sum of 200 billion yuan, Mr. Zeng, one of the founders of ATL, was shocked at first when he learned about it, and then became impatient.

This news made him feel that he was stabbed in the back by Qunxing Capital. He never thought that Qunxing Capital would go straight to acquire ATL, and frantically offered a sky-high price of 200 billion.

At this price, Mr. Zeng wanted to sell it, even though he couldn't decide.

And Mr. Zeng once thought that if TDK Group really packaged and sold ATL to Qunxing Capital, what would happen to him?Wouldn't it be a complete failure to separate the power battery department to establish Ningde Times?
From now on, Qunxing Capital will have the final say, so what else is there for me?

When Mr. Zeng saw the news, he was confused and angry at the same time. He called Hua Yu immediately, and a series of questions came as soon as the call was connected.

I really lived in Bengbu.

"...Don't be impatient, Mr. Zeng, the rumors about the acquisition of ATL company are indeed not out of thin air, but this does not hinder our cooperation." Sitting in the office, Huayu was drinking tea while discounting the phone.

"I don't understand what you mean." There was a doubtful voice from Mr. Zeng on the other end of the phone.

"Hehe..." Huayu smiled, and said bluntly: "Let me tell you straight, even if we acquire ATL, we will still separate the power battery department under ATL to establish Ningde Times, and we will still It is to advance according to the previously negotiated plan, rather you have the final say in the era, and the stars do not seek control."

"Ah...?" Mr. Zeng was very surprised when he heard the voice on the phone. He thought he might have heard it wrong. Are you kidding me?"

After spending 200 billion yuan to buy ATL, you are still willing to spin off the power battery department and hand over control?

Mr. Zeng couldn't fix it for a while.

Because after Qunxing Capital bought ATL, the nature of the company has completely changed, from a 100% purely foreign-owned holding company to a 100% purely domestic-owned holding company.

Then it will not be restricted by relevant regulations. It can be said that Qunxing Capital can do whatever it wants, even if Mr. Zeng, one of the co-founders of the company, has no chance of objecting.

Because he has long since lost control of ATL and has become a minority shareholder, even if he is kicked out of the company by Qunxing Capital, there is nothing he can do about it.

Qunxing Capital has done such things as kicking the founder out. The founder of Hengtong Pharmaceutical Group, the predecessor of Ruihe Pharmaceutical Group, was kicked out. He was born out of the house, and even stepped on a sewing machine, which can be called miserable.

Therefore, when Huayu said that the original plan would remain the same, Zeng was really caught off guard. He felt that Qunxing Capital was teasing him, and the acting skills were not polished, and it was too perfunctory.

Huayu smiled and responded unhurriedly: "Quanxing Capital is an investment company. It is not in line with my company's positioning to run a company in person. It is putting the cart before the horse, and Ningde Times can't do it without someone like Mr. Zeng." Founder."

By giving up the control to the founder, Mr. Zeng can let go of his grievances and have no worries about the future. He no longer has to worry about being kicked out by the capital when the company is established one day, so that he can put all his thoughts on making the company bigger and stronger. .

Huayu added: "For the Ningde era, Qunxing Capital only needs one right, which is the priority of financing."

This priority is to ensure that the equity held by Qunxing Capital in Ningde Times will not be diluted. If there is a shortage of funds, it needs financing.

In this way, the interests of Qunxing Capital in the Ningde era can be well guaranteed. Even if the control of Ningde Times is given up, it does not mean that Qunxing Capital has no right to speak at all.

There is another way to allow Qunxing Capital to maintain its influence on Ningde Times, that is to realize the influence on the company through the upstream and downstream industrial chains of Ningde Times, so that its founders must consider Qunxing when making decisions. Capital, otherwise the upstream and downstream industrial chains will be stuck, which is also very uncomfortable.

After a while, Huayu went on to say: "Similarly, as long as Qunxing Capital can successfully acquire ATL this time, we plan to still hire several of your founders to continue to manage the company."

Letting the founder of the company continue to run the company is the most reasonable choice, at least it is better than hiring an external professional manager. Fang Hong is very relieved of Mr. Zeng's ability.

At this moment, Mr. Zeng finally confirmed that what Hua Yu said was not fooling him. Qunxing Capital really planned to do this. He thought that Qunxing Capital had backstabbed him before, but the result was unexpected, and it also made him hold back I couldn't vent my anger, and lost my temper in an instant.

Thus, the telephone communication ended in a pleasant conversation.

Now Mr. Zeng is even more looking forward to Qunxing Capital's success in taking down ATL. In this way, the initial stage of Ningde Times can also get the full support of ATL.

After finishing the call with Huayu, Mr. Zeng acted immediately and gave some assists for Qunxing Capital's acquisition of ATL.

……

Two days later, on Tuesday, May 5.

At noon, Tian Jiayi came back from the company and brought back the latest news from ATL.

In the study room on the second floor of the villa, Tian Jiayi handed the materials in his hand to Fang Hong and said: "The reply came, TDK Group decided to agree to sell ATL to Qunxing Capital for 200 billion, but cash settlement is required. The initial signing with TDK Group was completed yesterday."

The core layer of TDK Group held several meetings and discussed it, and finally decided to sell it!

Anyway, Japan is now turning to "hydrogen energy". Even if the quotation given by Qunxing Capital is cut to 200 billion, it is still an extremely attractive price. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for someone to be willing to pay so much money.

ATL’s total asset scale is definitely not worth the price now. As for the future valuation potential, this is just an expectation. It’s just that the small book is going to play “hydrogen energy”. Obviously, it is not optimistic about lithium batteries. Then the future of ATL Expectations are bound to be discounted.

Now Qunxing Capital is willing to pay 200 billion yuan to buy this company, and it is a cash purchase, and the payment is super fast.

Instead of refusing to cause Qunxing Capital to spend more than 200 billion in this industry and get involved with ATL, TDK decided not to play with him after much deliberation. If the pen is withdrawn, there is no loss.

At least at this point in time, it's blood money.
