Gold Investor

Chapter 102 Self-reliance (6)
Fang Yubin was very familiar with the style of this old boss, and knew that Yuan Ruilang could keep talking for an entire afternoon.He brought the topic back to investment: "Last time you said that you hope to raise 5000 million funds, but you are still 2000 million short of your goal."

Yuan Ruilang looked proud: "That's the old emperor's calendar. Now I have collected another 1000 million, and the start-up capital has reached 4000 million. Just tell me, how much do you plan to invest?"

The original budget was discounted in half, and Fang Yubin didn't have enough money.However, if you can save money in other places, you can save money, but you can’t be petty when investing in projects. Other places spend money, but investing money makes money.Fang Yubin was cruel, and said, "We will offer another 4000 million, which will take up 50% of the shares. How about it?"

Yuan Ruilang put down his teacup and patted his thigh excitedly: "Adding your 4000 million, I have 8000 million start-up capital, which is more than I expected. This money is in my hands, enough to make the domestic P2P financial structure for the first time." one change."

"However," Yuan Ruilang changed the subject, "you pay so much at once, and take away the relative controlling stake, which is not good for me."

Fang Yubin said: "We are here for the controlling stake. Please understand this."

Yuan Ruilang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will give in on this point."

Seeing Yuan Ruilang agreeing so readily, Fang Yubin smiled.I only heard Yuan Ruilang continue to say: "I have given you the controlling position, and you can rely on me for other matters."

"What's the matter?" Fang Yubin asked.

Yuan Ruilang said: "When I designed the company's equity, I implemented the Niu Card Plan, which divided the shares into two categories: A and B. Others hold A shares, and I, as the founder of the company, hold B shares. The market value and income of the two types of stocks are exactly the same, except that in terms of voting rights on major events, Class B shares are 10 times that of Class A shares.”

Fang Yubin immediately understood that Yuan Ruilang's so-called compromise before was nothing more than giving up an insignificant enclave, and the fortress that was really related to strategic value was tightly guarded by him with the Niuka plan. All Class B shares are in the hands of Yuan Ruilang, and when it comes to voting, the overall situation is still controlled by him.At this time, 50% of the equity fell into a chicken rib.

The key to the Niuka plan is the voting rights given to each share: tradable shares are 1 vote per share, while the shares held by the founders are Class B shares, and their voting rights are 10 votes per share.The return on investment of these two classes of shares is exactly the same, only when voting, the voting rights of Class B shares will be multiplied by 10 times.In this way, the original shareholders will have great voting rights and influence when voting on major affairs at the shareholders' meeting.

The cow card plan appeared in Hong Kong in the 20s, and it has almost disappeared in the world for more than 70 years.Recently, with the increase of hostile takeovers, it has become popular again.Google, Facebook, The New York Times, Ford, and Berkshire Hathaway under Warren Buffett in the United States have all launched cattle card plans one after another.The domestic Internet company Baidu also used this plan when it went public in the United States.

Fang Yubin thought to himself that the Niuka plan was indeed the founder's trump card to control the company's power. If Qiancheng Group could use this plan back then, no matter how much equity you Zhao Xiaoqing and Cao Bohua bought, Wang Cheng would be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. would be so embarrassing.However, Yuan Ruilang proposed the Niuka plan at this time, but it was tantamount to creating a problem for himself.

Fang Yubin shook his head and said, "If the stocks are divided into A and B, then what's the point of our controlling position? Why do we need to invest so much money?"

"How can it be meaningless!" Yuan Ruilang said, "The difference between the two types of stocks is only reflected in the voting rights. When sharing investment income, the more shares you hold, the greater the benefits you will get."

"We all know that the investment company is not here to share any investment income." Fang Yubin said, "In the future, if the company's valuation is at a premium or it is successfully listed, we will definitely cash out. When it comes to share transactions, of course it is a major corporate matter. Yours The voting rights are so high, if you don’t nod your head, we won’t even be able to sell our shares.”

"The situation you mentioned will not happen in theory." Yuan Ruilang shook his head and said, "Anyway, I have Class B shares in my hand. Whoever buys and sells your Class A shares will have no more voting rights than me. I don't need to do too much."

Fang Yubin said: "There are many precedents in reality for things that would never happen in theory. There was a founder of an Internet company who was not very authentic. He used the cattle card plan to make investors miserable. When the stock price was at a high level, he worried that the selling price would be too high. He repeatedly exercised his veto power to prevent investors from selling shares because of the impact on the stock price. However, he secretly sold shares to cash in cash. Taking advantage of the high stock price, he made a lot of money. Later, when the stock price fell, investors could only complain Not enough."

"I know the guy you're talking about." Yuan Ruilang said, "That would be shameless, would I be that kind of person?"

"I know what you are like, but the shareholders of the investment company may not know it. It is natural for them to have this kind of worry." Fang Yubin found it difficult to talk about business with his old boss. Speak through the mouth of others.

Yuan Ruilang said: "Our investment agreement might as well be written like this. When other shareholders sell their shares, the founders have the right of first refusal, but they are not allowed to intervene." I have the right of first refusal, which is reasonable. If someone else is willing to pay a high price, I can’t exercise my veto.”

Yuan Ruilang spread his hands: "My concession can only go so far. In short, the Niuka plan must be implemented. This is a bottom line. If you cross this bottom line, nothing will be discussed."

Fang Yubin knew Yuan Ruilang's stubborn temper, and he almost never let go of what he was sure of.More importantly, when acquaintances discuss business, they often cannot be ruthless.He was a little annoyed. For today's negotiation, other people should have been arranged.Eat a pit, gain a wisdom, no longer discuss business with acquaintances, and it will be a rule in the future.

After weighing it up, Fang Yubin agreed, "Just do as you say."

6 Do more things that benefit others and self, and do less things that harm others and self

Fang Yubin was driving an Audi A8 on the expressway leading to Pudong Airport.About half an hour ago, he received a text message.It was Tong Xiaozhi who sent the text message. She said that she was about to board a flight to New Zealand and that she would probably not be back for a long time after leaving.Before leaving, she just wanted to say thank you and sorry.

During this period of time, Fang Yubin has been in contact with Tong Xiaozhi.But neither Binhai nor Shanghai had any news of her, and the whole person seemed to have evaporated from the world.Until today, Fang Yubin finally received this text message.Fang Yubin, who was processing documents in the office, immediately went downstairs to the garage.

The former Fang Yubin undoubtedly loved Tong Xiaozhi deeply.Even though he was rejected by the other party, he was still full of affection from the bottom of his heart for this gentle and beautiful Jiangnan woman.Later, when Tong Xiaozhi became the wife of his enemy Yu Fei, and even ruined Su Hao's reputation, Fang Yubin didn't know what kind of feelings he had for her.He just felt that when Tong Xiaozhi was about to travel far away, he should meet and see him off.

After arriving at the airport, Fang Yubin quickly called Tong Xiaozhi, but her phone was turned off again.Fang Yubin's heart tightened. Could it be that he was late and the plane had already taken off?

Fang Yubin rushed to the information desk, and the staff told him that there was only one flight to New Zealand in the afternoon, which would take off in two hours, and he was currently checking in.Fang Yubin breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the staff's guidance to the check-in counter.

After walking around the counter, Fang Yubin finally found Tong Xiaozhi.He walked over quickly and grabbed the handle of the suitcase. He seemed to have a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.

Tong Xiaozhi was startled suddenly, and then squeezed out a smile: "Are you here?"

Fang Yubin finally choked out a sentence: "The plane hasn't taken off yet, why did you turn off the phone?"

Tong Xiaozhi said: "I don't want to contact anyone. The phone has been turned off during this time. I just sent you a text message and turned it on. I didn't expect that you would rush over."

"How long have you been there and when will you be back?" Fang Yubin asked.

"It should be a long time. I don't know when I will come back." Tong Xiaozhi replied.

Fang Yubin shook his head and sighed in his heart, didn't they say these words in the text message, why bother to ask again?Are you looking for something to talk about, or is there a fluke in your heart?
Fang Yubin pulled the suitcase and said as he walked, "It's still a while before the boarding time. Don't rush through the customs, let's sit for a while. Let's say goodbye today. I don't know when we will meet again."

Tong Xiaozhi stood there blankly, seeing Fang Yubin take a few steps forward, and then followed him.The two walked into a drink shop, Fang Yubin ordered coffee, and helped Tong Xiaozhi order a glass of her favorite juice.

Their eyes met, and they were silent for a long time.After a while, Tong Xiaozhi whispered, "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"

Fang Yubin smiled miserably, but there was a huge stone in his heart.He said: "You don't need to say sorry to me. If you want to say sorry, you should also go to Su Hao."

As soon as Su Hao was mentioned, Tong Xiaozhi couldn't hold back his tears anymore.She choked up and said: "I'm sorry for him. I don't know, things will turn out like that in the end."

"Su Hao is fine now." Fang Yubin said, "After all, he is someone who has seen big storms and knows how to deal with them. After the incident happened, he resigned quickly, and now he is at home. I heard that a foreign insurance company has approached him Come to the door and plan to recruit him with a high salary."

Tong Xiaozhi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "He is a good man, I hope he is safe."

Fang Yubin said: "Actually, you are not only sorry for him, but also for yourself."

"Please, stop talking!" Tong Xiaozhi almost broke down in tears.

Seeing Tong Xiaozhi's mournful expression, Fang Yubin couldn't help feeling pity, but he still couldn't help vomit out the words he held in his heart: "Why did you do this? Put your whole life's reputation and happiness into it."

"Don't mention it, okay?" Tong Xiaozhi said in a begging tone.

Fang Yubin asked again: "Does your husband know about going abroad? Why didn't he come to see you off today?"

"My husband?" Tong Xiaozhi's hands trembled slightly.

Fang Yubin said, "Didn't you marry Yu Fei?"

Tears still hung on his face, but Tong Xiaozhi's eyes flashed a rare determination: "He is not my husband. We divorced after a month of marriage. He and I both know why we got married in the first place."

"This bastard." Mentioning Yu Fei, Fang Yubin always felt uncontrollable anger.

Tong Xiaozhi said: "He is indeed a bastard, but he is also a hard-working person. After the divorce, I have no contact with him again."

"Don't mention him." Tong Xiaozhi changed the topic, "In the eyes of many people, I am a bad woman and a loser. Unexpectedly, you came to see me off today. I am really grateful."

Tong Xiaozhi's words overturned the five flavors in Fang Yubin's heart at once, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, everything in his heart.Fang Yubin couldn't forget the first time he saw Tong Xiaozhi. He lowered his eyebrows and moaned softly, his eyes clear and clear. From head to toe, everything was new, like a green willow that just sprouted in spring.It was this lovely and amiable Tong Xiaozhi who made Fang Yubin's love go deeper and deeper.

Whether it was the waiting in front of the bed in Jiangzhou Hospital, or the confession in the sea and sky of Saipan, the sweetness and pain left to Fang Yubin later turned into the relief of forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.Fang Yubin can only comfort himself, every encounter between a young man in a green shirt and a young girl in fresh clothes does not require a happy ending.Although I once liked you, it doesn't have to be together.Just sitting down and quietly listening to the sound of a piano on a certain spring afternoon is enough.

Because of this, when Fang Yubin saw the video that changed the fate of countless people from Wang Cheng, he was so gloomy and angry.He hated Tong Xiaozhi, hated Yu Fei even more, and even hated himself a little.If she had been more determined in pursuing Tong Xiaozhi, would she not have ended up in this way?Alas, the lines of time have been combed, how many times green, fat, red and thin, until the spring is getting old, I don't understand that gains and losses are only in the line.

Fang Yubin's nose was also a little sore, so he had to hold back: "We are old friends, we should give you a ride."

"By the way," Fang Yubin continued, "You went to New Zealand, how will you contact me in the future?"

Tong Xiaozhi sighed, with a bitter expression on his face: "I went to New Zealand just to hope to live a quiet life alone, and I don't want to contact anyone."

Tong Xiaozhi stared at Fang Yubin: "I have no face to see you, nor anyone else."

Tong Xiaozhi's attitude not only made Fang Yubin a little sad, but also expected.At the beginning, Tong Xiaozhi resigned and left the company without hearing from her. Now that she has gone through so many things, she will not contact anyone.This farewell, I'm afraid there will never be a reunion day.

Fang Yubin understood that it was impossible for him to be with Tong Xiaozhi.It was impossible in the past, and it is even more impossible now.But when he thinks that he will be separated from each other from now on, and will not communicate with each other until he dies, there is an indescribable sadness.

The two sat like this without saying a word.Finally, Tong Xiaozhi looked at his watch, got up and said, "It's time, I should go."

"I'll see you off again." Fang Yubin also stood up, dragging Tong Xiaozhi's suitcase and walking forward slowly.

From the beverage store to the security check gate, the distance between them was only [-] meters, but the two walked very slowly.They seemed to want to say something, but they couldn't say a word.

In Tong Xiaozhi's mind, he silently recited a poem by Haruna Murakami: There are all kinds of things in life, if you love each other, you will grow old hand in hand; if you miss it, you will protect him well.She hoped that Fang Yubin was well, but she was unable to say so.I am no longer qualified to say these words, not even to read Tagore's poems.In the poet's writing, love is so holy, how can a woman who is cast aside like herself have the face to mention it?

In Fang Yubin's mind, countless Tong Xiaozhis are emerging.There were those who used to have a head and horns, and their smiles were as bright and fresh as peaches and plums in spring, but now they are covered with scars and their eyes are blurred with tears.People have obsessions, so they cannot escape.Tong Xiaozhi's obsession made her taste the bitter fruit.Maybe it's time to let go of your obsessions.From then on, there will be no trace of you in my life.

We're almost at the security gate.Tong Xiaozhi silently took the luggage from Fang Yubin, but still didn't speak.When I walked over the mountain, the mountain did not speak.When I fly over the sea, the sea does not answer.Let the whole world be silent, only those past events that I don't want to look back accompany me all over the world.

Tong Xiaozhi's back gradually drifted away and disappeared from Fang Yubin's vision.He turned around and strode outside.

Fang Yubin drove away from the airport, just in time for a traffic jam on the expressway, and his mood became more and more irritable.Stop and go, and suddenly thought of one thing.Back then, Wang Cheng handed over the evidence of Yu Fei manipulating the stock price to himself.This evidence is enough to put Yu Fei to death.Fang Yubin, who hated Yu Fei, wanted to reveal the evidence countless times, but finally held back.

All for nothing else, only for Tong Xiaozhi.When Fang Yubin learned that Tong Xiaozhi had become Yu Fei's wife, his hatred became more intense, but it also added a wave of entanglement and hesitation.Tong Xiaozhi's life is already suffering enough to be entrusted to inhuman beings.Isn't it too cruel to send her husband to prison when she is newly married?
For Tong Xiaozhi's sake, Fang Yubin finally chose to forbear.But now, Tong Xiaozhi has divorced Yu Fei and left his hometown, so he has nothing to worry about. Could it be that he is seeing this devil in the world continue to cause trouble?

In Fang Yubin's heart, there was a sense of happiness, gratitude and hatred, but there was another force that seemed to be pulling him.He asked repeatedly, what benefit would there be in killing Yu Fei other than letting out a bad breath?To this question, I have never been able to find an answer.

There is a saying, do more things that benefit others and benefit yourself, do less things that harm others and benefit yourself, and never do things that harm others and benefit yourself.According to this standard, killing Yu Fei is basically harming others and benefiting oneself.Yu Fei has no threat to himself at all, is he going to send him to prison just because of his likes and dislikes?
