Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 640 The first bell of the new year

When Wu Qianqian heard what her boss said, everyone was shocked, her eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief: "Boss, are you sure?

That's an investment of more than 2 billion. How can the group come up with so much money at once? "

As one of the executives of [Xunwei Group], he naturally knows the company's basic financial situation. This investment far exceeded the budget and was completely contrary to the previously specified plan.

It's no wonder she was surprised, because the other executives all showed similar expressions.

Everyone knows the company's situation clearly, and such a large investment far exceeds the group's current financial capabilities.

Running a company is not just playing house. You cannot allocate money at will. You must have a detailed budget.

Otherwise, a bad move can easily lead to a break in the capital chain. Not to mention [Xunwei Group], those real estate giants in the previous life all went bankrupt in a matter of minutes when their capital turnover was limited.

Therefore, the executives present were completely unable to understand the boss's rash decision.

Ma Liang could see everyone's doubts at a glance, but he could not explain his foresight to his subordinates.

Only he knows how fragrant the land near Hongqiao Airport is.

So I had to say perfunctorily: "Don't worry about the funds. I will make other arrangements and there will be no problem."

Ma Liang originally planned this. He could allocate funds from [Dafeng Capital] to invest in the construction of an office park with foreign investment, and then rent it to [Xunwei Group] for use.

When [Xunwei Group] gets rich in a few years, it will transfer the property rights and sell them.

This will not only alleviate the financial pressure on domestic business, but also earn a good profit for [Dale Capital].

As for how funds are circulated, Ma Liang does not need to explain in detail to all senior executives.

Although these subordinates all knew that he was investing abroad and knew some things about [Dale Capital], the specific situation was not clear.

As the boss, Ma Liang had no need to take the initiative to reveal all the details to them.

Hide a little and show a little, that's the way to go.

He said so, and the senior executives didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that their own boss is unfathomable, and it is not unimaginable to make billions to return to China.

But when they thought that the group was about to have a brand new office park, everyone was looking forward to it.

After all, the executives are now considered to be prominent figures in the catering industry. Why stay in remote suburbs all the time? Only by working in the city center can you gain face.

Especially working in an office park that combines star hotels, shopping malls, and Grade A office buildings is more in line with everyone's current status.

You must know that all of you sitting here are all well-known figures in the industry. Who has not been invited to give speeches and share at industry summit forums and serve as important guests?

Isn’t there an old saying: A good horse must have a good saddle, and a good boat must have a good sail.

Working in [Xunwei Group]’s own brand new office building, wouldn’t employees be more motivated?

Ma Liang didn't take the senior executives' thoughts into consideration at all.

Spending money to build an office park is just a small thing for him. He is more concerned about whether the company's business can further develop and grow and make more money for himself.

The executive meeting was more than half over, and most things were reported and discussed.

Now there is only one last issue left to discuss, and it is what Ma Liang is most concerned about and looking forward to.

So he immediately asked CFO Deng Jingwen: "Has the time for listing been finalized?"

“Boss, news just came in before the meeting, the time has been set, it’s January 1th.

And according to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, this time it seems that the IPO of our [Liupo Malatang] will be arranged as the first stock in the New Year, so that you can be the first to ring the bell. "

Although Deng Jingwen responded leisurely, she was extremely proud in her heart.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange can make such an arrangement, on the one hand, it pays enough attention to [Xunwei Group], and on the other hand, it is most likely because of the reputation of the boss. She guessed this, and she was confident that her guess was quite accurate.

Ma Liang was also very happy when he heard this: "Oh? The first bell of the new year? This is interesting, and it is enough to look up to me!"

How could he not understand things that Deng Jingwen could guess.

As Twitter becomes more and more outrageous, Ma Liang's reputation in the capital market will naturally grow, and his every move will be watched by countless people.

Just because he deliberately keeps a low profile, he is not known to the public yet.

But being stared at by interested people in the circle is completely normal. Not to mention how could the big guys at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange not know about him.

After all, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis has not yet passed, and the economic downturn is still the current objective situation. It is easy to understand why he uses his fame to stimulate the sluggish securities market.

One thing to say, this move of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is indeed a good strategy.

Even Ma Liang himself felt that if he were placed in the position of leader of the Hong Kong stock market, he would probably make the same decision.

But the problem is that if they do this, there will be a lot of publicity and hype.

By then, it will be impossible for him to keep a low profile. The media in Xiangjiang will not let go of such a super hot topic, and the domestic media will definitely follow suit.

The final result is that Ma Liang's background and family history will all be reported, and even some secrets will be dug out.

And the intensity of digging deep is absolutely unprecedented.

This gave Ma Liang a bit of a headache. It seemed that he would have to keep a lower profile in the future.

Especially the dealings with a few confidantes must not be discovered. He doesn't care, but his women can't stand it.

And if this kind of thing is exposed, it will also have an impact on the company's image.

If the unscrupulous media continues to influence the situation, [Xunwei Group]'s business may be boycotted, which is not what he wants to see.

It seems that there is no hope of free travel in the future, and the security team must also be put on the agenda.

Not only him, but all the women around him have to make corresponding arrangements. Especially when dealing with Yan Bing, a super rich woman, you must be extremely careful.

When he thought of this, Ma Liang began to back down. Should he postpone the listing?

No, no, this thought passed away in an instant.

No matter what, we will have to face this day sooner or later. It is better to face it sooner than later.

Because it will take a few years for Twitter to go public again, and by then it will be fully exposed to the media, and there may be even more noise.

It is better to get vaccinated now so that the public can be mentally prepared in advance.

When Twitter goes public, we won’t be too curious to pursue his story.

Ma Liang simply changed his mind and struck the first bell, the first bell!
Immediately afterwards, he became concerned about another thing: "Jingwen, how is the arrangement of the option plan for employees before going public?"

"Boss, don't worry, everything has been arranged." Deng Jingwen responded affirmatively.

If you want the horse to run without giving the horse more grass to eat, it will definitely not work. Even the most junior employees still need various incentives.

The option plan established for employees is designed precisely for this purpose.

Of course, this time the option plan was only implemented within a small scope of [Liupo Malatang] and was not extended to the entire group.

All employees of [Liupo Malatang] have definitely contributed to the listing of the company.

In particular, store managers with outstanding performance should be given special rewards so that the brand can develop sustainably with high quality.

Now that [Liupo Malatang] is about to be launched, it is perfect to use it as a pilot option plan.
