Chapter 66 Introducing the wolf into the room (3)
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.The secretary opened the door and saw Wang Cheng standing outside.Cao Bohua got up quickly, stepped on the carpet with his bare feet, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Wang, you are here."

After entering the room, Wang Cheng probably smelled the smell of smoke, and he waved his hand in front of his nose: "Bo Hua, it's best to quit smoking. Apart from hurting the body, this stuff has no good."

Cao Bohua said with a smile: "I want to quit, but I just can't. I'm not like you. If you say mountaineering, you can climb Mount Everest, and if you say rowing, you can participate in international competitions. I don't have the perseverance."

Wang Cheng patted Cao Bohua on the shoulder: "You are not a person without perseverance. I think you don't want to quit at all."

Wang Cheng's praise of Cao Bohua was definitely not just talking about it.In his opinion, Cao Bohua does have many qualities that are far beyond ordinary people - he doesn't read much, but he understands the world and the world. .

Wang Cheng and Cao Bohua met more than a year ago.At that time, Wang Cheng was worrying about a big event.At the beginning of the establishment of the company, Wang Cheng and the management team gave up the controlling stake and were willing to be a professional manager.This kind of shareholding arrangement has not only won Wang Cheng a reputation, but also makes him have to always be on guard against the risk of losing power.

The largest shareholder of Qiancheng Group is Rongding Capital, and the cooperation between the two is close.But just a year ago, the power struggle among Rongding's top management was almost heated.Affected by the project of Jinsheng Group, Ding Yifu, chairman of Rongding Capital, seems to be full of uncertainties in his re-election.

Wang Cheng, who was far away by the sea, had to think about what kind of impact it would have on Qiancheng Group once Ding Yifu fell and the chairmanship of Rongding Capital changed hands.Will the successor continue Ding Yifu's non-intervention policy towards Qiancheng, or will he make a big breakthrough and start anew?
Years of ups and downs in the business world have made Wang Cheng understand that it is better to hold his hope firmly in his own hands than pin it on others.

Although Qiancheng is already a famous giant company, the management does not have much income except for annual salary and dividends.Expecting to launch a shareholding war to regain the controlling stake is not only contrary to the original intention of the year, but also not practical.The only feasible way is to introduce a company with comparable strength to take a stake in Qiancheng, and form a situation of mutual checks and balances with Rongding, which used to be the only one.Only in this way can the management be invincible and play the role of the key minority.

However, bringing in an ideal new shareholder is no easy task.Qiancheng's plate is too big, and those who are less capable can't play at all.A few central enterprises showed interest, but their appetite was not small. Not only did they want to buy shares, but they also wanted to overwhelm Rongding to become the controlling shareholder.This is contrary to Wang Cheng's desire to check and balance each other.Several so-called capital predators also talked to Wang Cheng.With Wang Cheng's shrewdness, he can tell at a glance that these people do not intend to be long-term investors, but want to take the opportunity to speculate on stock prices, and play short-term quickly.How can the company that I have worked so hard to create be allowed to be ruined by these people!
Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Xiaoqing appeared.This noblewoman from a famous family has deep connections in China and the United States, and her financial strength should not be underestimated.Moreover, she has lived overseas for a long time, and she chatted with Wang Cheng about modern business management concepts, and they got along very well.

The two hit it off immediately, and the only obstacle left was Zhao Xiaoqing's identity.Neither Zhao Xiaoqing's family elders nor her foreign husband wanted her to stand on the stage and show her face.Wang Cheng also didn't want Qiancheng Group to be labeled by the outside world because of Zhao Xiaoqing's shareholding.

In this context, Cao Bohua, a white glove, made his debut logically.To become a qualified white glove, the corresponding conditions must be met.It's too weak, but a newcomer pops up suddenly, the outside world must be full of suspicion, where did this guy come from?It doesn't matter if it's too strong, don't be halfway through the show and be overwhelmed by white gloves.Cao Bohua is undoubtedly a suitable character.He has been in the mall for a long time, so he won't be frightened in normal situations, but after all, he doesn't have a deep foundation, so don't worry that he will have a different mind.

Once the alliance of Wang Cheng, Zhao Xiaoqing, and Cao Bohua was formed, it immediately set off a turbulent wave in the market.With Wang Cheng's acquiescence and Zhao Xiaoqing's capital injection, Cao Bohua's Huahai Department took the lead and bought shares in Qiancheng in the secondary market.In just half a year, Huahai's shareholding has approached that of Rongding.

Meanwhile, Rongding's Fei Yunpeng also noticed something, and even issued a warning to Wang Cheng.But Wang Cheng was cheeky and refused to admit it.In his view, reaching the goal quickly and creating a fait accompli is far more useful than any explanation.In the Cuban Missile Crisis that year, the reason why the United States won a big victory was because the Soviets were half a beat behind.If the Soviet Union could take the lead in transporting nuclear warheads to Cuba to form a nuclear deterrent against the United States, would the Americans dare to react so violently?
After making tea, Cao Bohua sent the secretary away, then put his legs crossed on the sofa, and asked, "What's the situation with today's board meeting?"

Wang Cheng took a sip of tea: "Didn't Zhonghua participate in the board of directors? He didn't tell you? Fang Yubin, this kid, made a big fuss at the board meeting. But later, his attitude finally softened. Zhonghua invited him to eat seafood at night, probably They are in the fishing village of Theo at the moment."

Cao Bohua nodded: "It's still wise of you, you're sure that Rong Ding will make a fuss at the board meeting. If you don't attend, ask me to avoid it for a while. We don't show up, let him make a fuss."

Wang Cheng put down his teacup: "Rong Ding has some opinions, which is reasonable. It is inevitable to fire a few shots at the board of directors. But they have nothing better to do. "

"Kung fu in the world is only fast." Cao Bohua, who didn't read much, read a few Jin Yong's novels when he was part-time job in his early years, and now he can easily quote them, "As long as we act fast and create established facts, Rongding can only Swallow this result."

Wang Cheng asked, "Next, what are your plans?"

Cao Bohua said: "In order to increase the shares of Qiancheng, the cash in Huahai Company's account has almost bottomed out several times. To be honest, fortunately, I borrowed another 1000 million from my friend the day before yesterday, otherwise I would not even have the travel expenses to come to Hong Kong." .”

Wang Cheng smiled: "It's not that exaggerated. Xiaoqing has relatively abundant funds, and she has always supported you."

"Don't mention the woman surnamed Zhao." Cao Bohua looked bitter and bitter, "She always looks forward and backward in doing things, and she is afraid of wolves and tigers. I am annoyed when I see it. Last month, when we rushed to raise funds at a critical moment, we Ask her to transfer [-] million in cash. She promised readily, and said that if [-] million is not enough, she will remit [-] million. However, the money has been twisted and turned, and it took more than a week. into my hands."

Cao Bohua continued: "Hong Kong is very close to Binhai. But the money in her hand was remitted from Hong Kong to Dubai, then ran to the Cayman Islands for two days, then rowed to the United States, and then returned to the Cayman Islands A week later, the money arrived in Beijing, and finally it was transferred from Beijing to my account. The money surnamed Zhao, if it doesn’t go around the world, it won’t reach me.”

For some reason, Cao Bohua seems to be full of complaints about Zhao Xiaoqing recently.In order to stabilize the tripartite alliance, Wang Cheng has to act as a peacemaker: "Xiaoqing did this out of caution. As I said before, she must not let the outside world know that she is providing financial support for Huahai behind the scenes. Only the money Turn around in a circle, so that no one will notice."

Cao Bohua sipped his tea: "A few days ago, I exerted too much force, and there was a big problem with the capital chain. Next, I must raise the stock price and let me sell part of the equity in order to return the funds."

Wang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Now, Huahai holds 15% of Qiancheng's equity, which is indeed too much. According to the previous plan, of course you should reduce your holdings and cash out to ease the pressure on funds. However, just after the fundraising I am in a hurry to sell, isn’t it too hasty? There has been a lot of discussion in the outside world about the change in equity some time ago, so we still have to be cautious at this time, and we can’t lose the big because of small things.”

"If I can bear it, I will bear it, but I have indeed encountered a hurdle that I can't get past." Cao Bohua said, "Mr. Wang, your goal of optimizing the equity structure of Qiancheng has been achieved. Zhao Xiaoqing also successfully invested in Qiancheng through Huahai. You all I’m the one who landed, and I’m the only one who’s still in the water. I can’t compare with you, so I have to take advantage of the opportunity to reduce my holdings and cash out to make a little money.”

"You have made up your mind, what else can I say?" Wang Cheng spread his hands, "But I still want to remind you, don't make some things too obvious. If you get angry, you will be in big trouble."

"I have a sense of propriety." Cao Bohua seemed confident, "This time I will join hands with Yu Fei, and we will be safe. Within three months, Qiancheng's stock price will definitely double..."

Wang Cheng interrupted Cao Bohua with a wave of his hand: "You don't need to tell me these things, and I don't want to know either. Just be careful yourself."

"Okay, okay! I understand. These bad things will not be used to bother you anymore." The two parties have cooperated for nearly a year, and Cao Bohua knows a little bit about Wang Cheng's behavior style.Wang Cheng not only won't wade into muddy waters for things like this kind of wandering around the red line, but also puts his responsibilities completely aside.He will always look aloof, holy and flawless.

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Cheng got up to say goodbye.After bidding farewell to Wang Cheng, Cao Bohua immediately called his younger brother Cao Zhonghua: "How is your talk with Fang Yubin?"

Cao Zhonghua said: "According to what we discussed before, we made it clear to Fang Yubin. As expected, Fang Yubin looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he didn't want to get involved."

Cao Bohua laughed: "Okay, it seems that your play is doing well."

Cao Zhonghua asked: "How about Wang Cheng?"

"What a dick!" Cao Bohua said, "I fed him some hallucinogens, and he drank it with gusto." Cao Zhonghua said again: "I heard from Yu Dongming that Wang Cheng will go abroad to live for a long time again. .”

"That's right." Cao Bohua said, "Wang Cheng told me that he leaves Hong Kong tomorrow and will go to England to stay for a few months."

Cao Bohua sneered: "When he returns to China, he will know that the world has changed."

4 When Mr. Qigong sees imitating his own handwriting, he always smiles and says, yes, his writing is better than mine!

Even though it is the weekend, the streets of Beijing are still full of traffic.This is an ancient capital with a rich history, a center of power that has dominated the rise and fall of countless dynasties; it is also an international metropolis that is rushing towards modernization, and the impulse of capital is scattered in every corner.The collision of history and reality, power and capital makes all kinds of bizarre stories staged almost every day.

In the afternoon, Fei Yunpeng walked out of a courtyard, followed by an outstanding-looking woman, it was Zhao Xiaoqing.The two met by chance at a big man's birthday banquet. Before that, Fei Yunpeng didn't know that Zhao Xiaoqing would appear on this occasion.

Fei Yunpeng is well aware of Zhao Xiaoqing's background, and just now he saw her slick handling skills at the banquet.Fei Yunpeng was very polite to this upstart in the capital circle, and asked enthusiastically, "Where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you."

"No, I have a car." Zhao Xiao said with a light smile, "Mr. Fei, you still don't let the driver rest on the big weekend, isn't it too bureaucratic?"

Fei Yunpeng laughed: "I'm a businessman, not an official, and I can't be a bureaucrat."

Zhao Xiaoqing said: "Let your driver spend the weekend with your family. How about I come to see you off?"

"That can't be done." Fei Yunpeng waved his hands and declined.

Zhao Xiaoqing acted coquettishly: "I am extremely honored to be able to give Mr. Fei a present. Besides, I have something to report to you. Why, you don't even give him a chance?"

"Okay, okay! Respect is worse than obedience." Fei Yunpeng was wondering just now why Zhao Xiaoqing appeared here today?Hearing what she said, presumably the so-called chance encounter was actually carefully arranged, and she would go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.

Zhao Xiaoqing keeps a low profile and often drives a brown Honda Accord in Beijing.She drove the car out of the alley, and then said to Fei Yunpeng, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat: "I heard that Fang Yubin made a big fuss in the board of directors of Qiancheng Group in Binhai last week, forcing Wang Cheng and Cao Bohua not to show up. He This trip to the sea should bring back a lot of information for you, right?"

Fei Yunpeng was slightly taken aback.From various clues, especially the flow of Huahai Group's funds, he had a hunch that Zhao Xiaoqing was involved in the Qiancheng Group's affairs, but there was no conclusive evidence, and because of the relationship between the parties, he did not go into it. .Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaoqing took the initiative to mention it today.Just take this opportunity to explore her reality.

Fei Yunpeng smiled: "The news about Qiancheng may not be counted by Yubin, so I have to ask you."

Zhao Xiaoqing held the steering wheel with a smile on her lips: "Senior Fei, let's open the skylight and speak brightly." She continued: "Hua Hai's massive increase in holdings of Qiancheng is naturally not something that Cao Bohua can play with. Beforehand, Wang Cheng knew everything and opened the door for Cao Bohua. Most of the funds that Cao Bohua raised in the secondary market were supported by me."

Zhao Xiaoqing's words not only confirmed Fei Yunpeng's judgment, but also surprised him a little.Without Wang Cheng's acquiescence and connivance, with Cao Bohua's ten guts, he would not have dared to hit Qiancheng's idea. Without strong financial support behind him, Cao Bohua would not be able to make waves in the market.However, Wang Cheng pretended to be stupid and denied such a secret plan before, why did Zhao Xiaoqing reveal it today?

After pondering for a while, Fei Yunpeng said: "If you want to invest in Qiancheng, you just need to say hello in advance. It's too late for me to welcome you, so there's no need to sneak around."

Zhao Xiaoqing said: "It was indeed my fault that I didn't say hello before this matter, and I hope that you adults will ignore the faults of villains. But at the beginning, I also had unavoidable difficulties." After a pause, she continued: "Wang Cheng probably I feel that Rongding is currently dominant in Qiancheng Group and poses a threat to the management, so I want to introduce new strategic investors to play a role in checking and balancing each other. Therefore, what Wang Cheng is most afraid of is to startle the snake, and told me Act in secrecy."

"I originally set my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Fei Yunpeng sighed, "Wang Cheng and I have been friends for many years, so his worries are unnecessary. As the major shareholder of Qiancheng, Rongding Satisfied with the work of the management and has no intention of meddling."

"You don't have to be sad." Zhao Xiaoqing said, "Wang Cheng is still grateful to Rongding. When he talked with me, he insisted on keeping Rongding's major shareholder status. His actions are not subverting the status quo. , It’s more like buying an insurance policy. If one day you fall out with Rong Ding, you can still have a way out.”

Fei Yunpeng smiled lightly: "Although this is not enough for friends, it is reasonable to plan for a rainy day in business. Now that your goal has been achieved, you won't make any more troubles, right?"

Zhao Xiaoqing flicked the steering wheel and drove the car to the side of the road: "Wang Cheng's goal has been achieved, but mine has not yet been achieved."

Fei Yunpeng was a little surprised: "Your purpose? What purpose?"

Zhao Xiaoqing parked the Accord sedan on the side of the road, took out a Ms. Moore cigarette, lit it, and took a puff with enjoyment.Moore cigarettes from the United States have a bitter taste of chocolate, and the body of the cigarette is slender and coffee-colored, somewhat resembling a leopard print.Such a sexy appearance makes this cigarette the favorite of countless modern girls.Zhao Xiaoqing's appearance of puffing clouds and smoke with a slender cigarette in his mouth, does not look like a strong woman in the business world, but more like a stunner in a romantic field.

Zhao Xiaoqing said slowly: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the chaos of the world is for profit. Wang Cheng tried his best to change the shareholding structure in order to stabilize the position of the management. I invested so much real money , and for what?"

The smell of cigarettes in the car was too strong, Fei Yunpeng had no choice but to press the window: "How do I know what conditions you offered Wang Cheng?"

Zhao Xiao shook the soot lightly, and said with a smile: "Instead of setting conditions and waiting for others' charity, it's better to create it yourself."

"What exactly do you want?" Fei Yunpeng asked.

Zhao Xiaoqing said: "Now, through Cao Bohua's Huahai Company, I already hold 15% of Qiancheng's shares. If I continue to increase my holdings, I will surpass Rongding in one fell swoop and become Qiancheng's controlling shareholder."
