Chapter 76 Hostile Takeover (5)
The person who walked in was Yu Dongming, the executive vice president of Qiancheng Group. He nodded respectfully, and then asked, "How was your talk with Cao Zhonghua?"

Wang Cheng straightened his cuffs: "The Cao brothers threw themselves into the enemy camp, and they couldn't be pulled back for a while. Looking for him today is just a wake-up call, and I hope he doesn't go all the way to the dark. They are smart people, and they should be able to listen. Understand my words."

"The current situation can only be like this." Yu Dongming said, "For Huahai, we didn't have much hope at first, and we can achieve our goal if we can implement a little interference. But for Rongding, we must hold back."

Wang Cheng tapped his fingers on the desk: "Fei Yunpeng is hiding now, pushing Fang Yubin to the front desk. I think he is determined to be a fool."

Yu Dongming said: "In any case, we have to try our best to fight for it before Rongding takes the team."

"Of course." Wang Cheng said, "This time Fang Yubin is here, so why not have a good talk with him."

"By the way," Wang Cheng asked, "I've met Fang Yubin a few times, but I don't have a deep impression. He is a character who has just emerged in these years, and I have never heard of him before. Does he have any background?"

Yu Dongming replied: "In Rongding, Fang Yubin is a rising star. He has risen rapidly in the past two years. He is Ding Yifu's favorite general. After Ding Yifu passed away, the outside world was not optimistic about this person. But for some reason, in Rongding's recent During the adjustment of the organizational structure, he was entrusted with an important task by Fei Yunpeng, and unexpectedly became the general manager of Rongding Venture Capital."

"It's interesting." Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows, as if lost in thought.After a while, he spoke again: "Fang Yubin arrived at noon, right?"

Yu Dongming nodded: "He landed at Binhai Airport at 12:[-] noon, and I will pick him up at the airport in person."

"Why are you going to pick him up in person?" Wang Cheng said, "Our corporate culture in Qiancheng has never been greeted and delivered. In the past, when the board of directors was held, Rongding's representatives would send a department manager to the airport. Welcome. This time, no exception."

Wang Cheng added: "Just say that I have something to do in the afternoon, don't arrange for him to come to see me, let him rest in the hotel. In the evening, take him to the company cafeteria for a working meal, and then come to see me in the office."

"With this arrangement, will Fang Yubin feel left out?" Of course, Yu Dongming knew what Wang Cheng was thinking. He drank with Ding Yifu and Fei Yunpeng, so he didn't need to be too courteous to Fang Yubin, who was still a junior.But today is different, Fang Yubin is Rongding's representative after all.

"Don't worry about red tape." Wang Cheng said nonchalantly.

Yu Dongming let out a "hmm".It seems that the boss's supercilious character has not changed at all because of being in a dangerous situation.

Wang Cheng stood up, put his hands on the window sill, and turned his back to Yu Dongming: "There is one more thing, you should check it quickly. Recently, the stock price of Qiancheng has fluctuated violently. Is there a mouse warehouse? Is there anyone doing it? Insider trading?"

Wang Cheng's words immediately brought Yu Dongming's thoughts back to more than ten years ago.Back then, someone also launched an attack in the capital market, intending to seize control of Qiancheng.When the fierce battle was in full swing, Wang Cheng resorted to a surprise attack and obtained evidence that the opponent's key figures were engaged in insider trading, turning the situation around in one fell swoop.It was in that battle that Yu Dongming charged forward and emerged, and thus rose to the top of the thousand cities.Years have passed, will the same plot repeat itself?
Yu Dongming said: "I will investigate immediately. It's just that we have used this trick in the past. Zhao Xiaoqing and Cao Bohua won't be so stupid as to repeat the same mistakes, right?"

Wang Cheng didn't turn around: "Zhao Xiaoqing and Cao Bohua may not be so stupid, but what about the others? Do you know why there is nothing new under the sun, and history often repeats itself, and even capsize in the gutter many times?"

Wang Cheng asked himself and answered: "That's because there are some gutters that cannot be avoided—for example, a person's greed in the face of interests. Qiancheng's stock price fluctuates violently, and the interests in the middle are too tempting. People, there will always be people who can't resist the temptation."

"I understand." Yu Dongming said.

Wang Cheng still looked out the window, the sky by the sea was extremely blue, not even a single cloud.In the early morning, there are still clouds in the sky, some are connected, some are separated, some are like glowing pyramids, and some are flying around like birds.At this moment, the clouds are gone.Without the company of the cloud, the sun lives alone in the sky, showing the majesty of its father of the universe.

Facing the glare of the sun, Wang Cheng said silently in his heart: I am the sun of a thousand cities!It was and it is now!
5 Fang Yubin didn't know anything about his boss's living habits.From this, Wang Cheng concluded that this person was definitely not Fei Yunpeng's confidant.

The plane is descending slowly.Fang Yubin opened the sun visor beside the seat, and the sunlight shone into the cabin, making it almost blinding.When we bid farewell to Shanghai in the morning, there was a light rain in the sky.At this moment, the sky outside the window is clear.

The sunny scenery did not change Fang Yubin's mood in the slightest, and the glare of the sun even aggravated the haze in his heart.The current situation can be described as chaotic flowers gradually becoming charming.During this trip to the seaside, there was a sense of powerlessness in fighting without knowing why.

The matter is not complicated at first, and it can be explained clearly in one sentence-Hua Hai has massively increased its holdings in Qiancheng, and Rongding's position as the largest shareholder has been lost.However, the attitudes of all parties in the incident are capricious and unpredictable.

Didn't Cao Bohua vowed before that he would reduce his shareholding in Qiancheng?Why have you made a big move to grab goods recently, as if you will not give up if you don't achieve your goal?

Wang Cheng and Qiancheng's senior management team were indifferent to Huahai's entry before.At the banquet at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Fei Yunpeng took the initiative to mention this matter, but Wang Cheng talked about him.At the Binhai board meeting, Yu Dongming and Cao Zhonghua almost sang together again.Now, why did they suddenly turn against each other?

What puzzled Fang Yubin the most was Fei Yunpeng's attitude.At the beginning, Fei Yunpeng attached great importance to Rhodium's position as a major shareholder in Qiancheng, and even ordered an increase in holdings in advance when the situation was still unclear.Now that the fire is imminent, Fei Yunpeng is not in a hurry, and he is still going out for a wandering at the critical moment.

Before going abroad, Fei Yunpeng called Fang Yubin.It was precisely this phone call that made me even more at a loss.Fei Yunpeng said that after meeting Wang Cheng, he wanted to express Rongding's recognition of Qiancheng's management team.Fei Yunpeng was unclear as to how to accept it, whether it was moral support or practical actions.Fei Yunpeng also explained that he must try his best to ensure the status of Rongding's largest shareholder.But when Fang Yubin asked for instructions on whether to organize funds to enter the market and start a battle with Hua Hai for raising funds, Fei Yunpeng also said that there was no such fund plan, so he stood still for the time being.The lack of guns and guns does not provide logistical support, but people are required to stand firm. Isn't this difficult for the strong?

The most terrible thing is that Fei Yunpeng told him that it is not convenient for him to deal with work matters during his time abroad.Small things are decided by themselves, and big things are reported to the vice president of the headquarters.Before coming to Binhai, Fang Yubin called the vice president and asked how to talk after meeting Wang Cheng.But the vice president said that he had no say in this matter, and it was best to wait for Mr. Fei to come back.

Fang Yubin was completely lost.The battle was imminent, and he had jumped out of the trench with his gun raised, but the coach ran away.After the confusion, Fang Yubin seemed to become extremely clear again.Didn't Fei Yunpeng just hide on purpose and use himself as a shield to push ahead?That being the case, might as well pretend to be confused.Anyway, everything that should be reported has been reported in time, and if I really want to be held accountable in the future, I won't be able to hit myself.

Following Wang Cheng's instructions, Yu Dongming did not come to the airport, but only sent a lower-level supervisor to pick up Fang Yubin.After the two sides shook hands and greeted each other, they boarded the car bound for the city.

Just a few minutes after getting on the airport expressway, Fang Yubin's cell phone rang.I took it out and saw that it was Tong Xiaozhi calling.Fang Yubin picked up the phone: "Xiaozhi, what's the matter?"

Tong Xiaozhi said hurriedly: "I'm sorry to disturb you. I have something to trouble you."

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Fang Yubin said.

Tong Xiaozhi said: "Can you lend me 30 yuan?" She then emphasized: "Just borrow it for a day or two, and I will pay you back soon."

"What are you borrowing money for?" Fang Yubin asked.

Tong Xiaozhi hesitated and said, "I... I encountered something."

"What's the matter?" Fang Yubin asked.Seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, Fang Yubin said again: "If you want to borrow money from me, you must tell me the reason."

After a while, Tong Xiaozhi spoke again: "Actually, it wasn't me, it was Yu Fei who borrowed the money."

"What is Yu Fei borrowing money for? Why did he ask you to borrow money?" Fang Yubin became more and more puzzled. Why did a big banker like Yu Fei not even have 30 yuan, and let his subordinates come forward to borrow money?

Tong Xiaozhi said: "A few days ago, Yu Fei went to Macau to gamble. He didn't see anyone for a few days, and he called back today. He said that he was too unlucky and lost several million. Not only did he lose all his cash, he even maxed out his credit cards. .At the moment, people are detained, without 30, they can’t even get out of the casino.”

"However, you don't have to worry." Tong Xiaozhi continued, "The company has sufficient funds in its account, but because Yu Fei is away, without his signature, the money cannot be moved. When he comes back, he will return the money to you immediately."

Tong Xiaozhi especially emphasized: "I know the company's financial situation well, and I will definitely repay the money I borrowed from you."

Fang Yubin really couldn't laugh or cry, a boss like Yu Fei was detained by the casino for 30 yuan, and even called everywhere for help, looking for someone to redeem him!Fang Yubin said: "Yu Fei has a few friends anyway. It's not difficult to spend 30 yuan for emergency. Why doesn't he call himself, but asks you to send rescuers?"

When encountering this kind of thing, Tong Xiaozhi was quite ashamed. She said in a low voice: "Yu Fei said that this kind of thing is too embarrassing. He is too embarrassed to talk to his friends, so he asked me to find a way. She also said not to make the matter public, just He said that I needed the money urgently. But among the friends I know, besides you, I really can’t think of anyone who can come up with 30 at once.”

Tong Xiaozhi said with a choked voice: "Yu Fei originally asked me to keep it a secret. I really couldn't help it, so I told you everything."

"Okay, don't worry." Fang Yubin said, "There is nothing shameful about the emergency. You send the card number, and I will transfer 30 immediately."

Putting down the phone, Fang Yubin couldn't help shaking his head.A gambler like Yu Fei shouldn't be worried, but Tong Xiaozhi's expression made him feel quite sorry.During the first few meetings, Fang Yubin had a vague feeling that the relationship between Yu Fei and Tong Xiaozhi did not seem to be a simple superior-subordinate relationship.Today, seeing Tong Xiaozhi in such a hurry, this feeling became even stronger.In short, Fang Yubin felt a little uncomfortable.He didn't know, was he out of jealousy that his ex-girlfriend was getting closer to other people, or was he worried that a kind and simple girl like Tong Xiaozhi would be unkind to others?
Thinking of this, Fang Yubin laughed again.Is Tong Xiaozhi his ex-girlfriend?At most, it's just unrequited love, but people have never accepted you.Besides, I am going to marry Su Jin soon, so let the past disappear in smoke.

The text message sounded, and Tong Xiaozhi sent the bank card number.Fang Yubin saw that the account name of the bank card was neither Tong Xiaozhi nor Yu Fei, but a person named Yang Yun.

Fang Yubin was a little confused, and dialed the phone again: "Who is Yang Yun?"

Tong Xiaozhi said: "It's the assistant to the general manager of our company. She was also present when Yu Fei invited you to dinner in Shanghai last time."

Fang Yubin remembered, isn't it the woman who is dressed up like a courtesan?He asked inexplicably, "Why did you put the money on her card?"

Tong Xiaozhi said: "When Yu Fei goes to the casino, he usually brings several bank cards with him. Except for his own, the others are all accounts opened in other people's names. I don't understand why he uses Yang Yun's card. Maybe he just casually Take one."

Seeing that Tong Xiaozhi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Fang Yubin didn't ask any more questions, and said, "Okay, I'll use the mobile bank to transfer the money right away."

"Thank you!" Tong Xiaozhi was very grateful.

"Don't be polite to me." Fang Yubin smiled.

Fang Yubin stayed in the hotel all afternoon bored, and Yu Dongming didn't show up until after 5 o'clock.The two had a working meal in the cafeteria, and then came to Wang Cheng's office together.

After shaking hands, Wang Cheng asked straight to the point: "Xiao Fang, how much authorization did you get this time? Lao Fei said on the phone that you will be responsible for handling this matter while he is abroad. Can I understand that you are now Rongding's plenipotentiary representative has the power to make decisions on the fly?"

Fang Yubin was quite dissatisfied with Wang Cheng's condescending attitude.As soon as I came up, I asked if I could make a decision on the fly. It means that if I am not fully authorized, people will not even bother to talk to me!

After all, Wang Cheng's status in the world is there. No matter how upset Fang Yubin is, he can't show it. He can only reply in a neutral manner: "President Wang's question, please forgive me for being difficult to answer. Mr. Fei is my boss. I got it." The amount of authorization is subject to what Mr. Fei said, and I don't count on my own."

Wang Cheng seemed to be aware of his slip of the tongue, and apologized graciously, "I'm sorry, it's not polite to ask such a question." He continued, "What do you think of Hua Hai's recent large-scale increase in holdings in Qiancheng?"

Fang Yubin said: "Hua Hai's actions are indeed a bit strange, but before the situation is clear, our attitude is the same as that of Qiancheng's management before - someone increases their holdings in Qiancheng in the capital market, as long as it is legal and compliant, normal We take no position on market behavior."

Fang Yubin intentionally brought Wang Cheng into the army.At the beginning, when Huahai was making constant moves in the capital market, Fang Yubin raised doubts on behalf of Rongding at the board meeting, and Yu Dongming used the phrase "not taking a stand" to prevaricate.Now, this trick happens to be returned to you.

Wang Cheng did not expect that the young Fang Yubin had such a strong aura on the negotiating table, and his words were impeccable.He smiled: "Let the past matter pass by. You said that the situation is not yet clear, so I might as well make it clear. Hua Hai's purpose is very clear, which is to take control of Qiancheng. How do you deal with this? Look?"

Fang Yubin said: "Of course we care about our position as the largest shareholder. Mr. Fei also explained that we will try our best to keep this position."

Wang Cheng asked: "Huahai's shareholding ratio has now surpassed Rongding. What method do you use to snatch back the largest shareholder? Did Lao Fei say anything?"

Seeing Fang Yubin shaking his head, Wang Cheng asked again: "If I make a request, I hope that Rongding's funds will enter the market immediately to start a fundraising battle to prevent Huahai's acquisition. Can it be done?"

Fang Yubin still shook his head: "Rongding hopes to maintain its position as the largest shareholder in Qiancheng, but currently has no plan to mobilize funds to enter the market."

Yu Dongming on the side couldn't sit still: "Huahai is aggressive, Rongding wants to regain the position of major shareholder, it is not based on a few empty words. If you don't come up with real money right now, what are you waiting for?"

Fang Yubin shrugged: "I also understand the current situation, but the company does not plan to use cash to enter the market."

Yu Dongming asked: "Can you convey our request to Mr. Fei and ask him to make a decision as soon as possible?"

Fang Yubin said: "Of course I will convey it, but according to my analysis, Rongding probably won't make the big moves you expected during the period when Mr. Fei is going abroad."

Yu Dongming said dissatisfiedly: "Since you can't make any decision, isn't your trip to the seaside a waste of time?"

Fang Yubin smiled: "You can't say that. Didn't you say that in the capital market, confidence is more precious than gold? Although we can't give real money, it's okay to provide some moral support."

Yu Dongming found it both exasperating and funny.In the capital market that pays attention to the law of the jungle, what kind of confidence and morality are like shit!He was about to explode, but was stopped by Wang Cheng with a wave of his hand.Wang Cheng said, "Xiao Fang, what exactly is the moral support you mentioned?"

Fang Yubin said: "Boss Fei asked me to convey to you that Rongding has always highly recognized the performance of Qiancheng's management team." After a pause, he added: "If necessary, Rongding can issue a statement to the public, Express support for the management team."

"Thank you for your kindness." Wang Cheng said with a smile, "Let's take a while to make a statement. Now that the equity dispute has not surfaced, once the statement is issued, it will make the conflict public."
