"Think carefully, are we doing this for ourselves?"
Old Man turned his chair slightly and looked at the directors sitting on both sides with a smile.
"We are here for the group, for Kaya City.
Once the group is listed, the group will be able to raise a large amount of funds from the financial market, and then we can easily promote the group's transformation. Take a look at what industries we are currently engaged in? Light manufacturing and heavy machinery production are time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. How much profit can this bring to the group? "
He put his hands on the conference table and rotated his arms in famous gestures, seeming to be planning a beautiful blueprint.
"Going public is actually a way to monetize our asset-heavy industries with low risks, allowing us to have more money to enter the financial market to engage in real estate, stocks, and bonds.
Which of these is not more profitable than physical manufacturing? When the group makes money, we can also make money, and group employees can also get higher wages. Why not? "
"The risks in the financial market are uncontrollable," A Lian, the young man wearing glasses who spoke at the beginning, said softly, "What if we cause serious losses or encounter operating difficulties?"
"'We' will never lose," Old Man smiled and waved his hand.
"We can lay off some employees, or reduce the wages of all employees to get through difficult times. In fact, you can think about it, Nolanka Group is making money, but how much dividends have you received over the years?
What you can look forward to in the future, the dividends in the next few years or even decades, may not be as much as 1% of the increase in your wealth from this wave of listings. So what if you lose money in the end? As long as we get out in time before the collapse, we will always make money. "
"A quarter of the people in Kaya City are employed by Nolanka Group, and more than half of the people rely on Nolanka Group related industries to survive,"
A Lian on the side suddenly said, "If Nolanka Group fails to manage well or even breaks its capital chain and goes bankrupt, it will inevitably lead to a large number of employees being owed wages or losing their jobs. It will also affect the operation of small businesses upstream and downstream. How will they live during that difficult period?"
"Hahaha, A Lian you are still too young. You have been studying for too long and your brain cannot turn."
Old Man laughed loudly and looked at the other people around him. He knew that he did not need to convince A Lian. What he needed to convince were the other directors sitting here.
Obviously, most of the directors sitting here showed signs of excitement.
In fact, the listing of Nolanka Group only means that Nolanka Family may lose control of Nolanka Group, but for small shareholders like them, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
As for the risks that may arise in the future, which may lead to the bankruptcy of Nolanka Group, employees' unpaid wages and unemployment, this is good news rather than bad news for them.
A large number of people are unemployed means that the labor market is oversupplied, which means that workers' wages can be further depressed. After making a lot of money from Nolanka's listing, they can use their connections to acquire the original Nolanka Group companies at low prices, hire the original workers at lower wages, and earn more profits.
On the giant corpse of Nolanka, his mouth was full of oil.
The only people affected by this incident may be Nolanka Family, as well as those workers who may have difficulties in life or even bankruptcy due to unemployment, but what does this have to do with them?
Now, Vian Nolanka, the sole heir of the Nolanka Family, has died, and Vian has left no will. Before Nolanka Family's trust fund finds a suitable blood heir, according to the company's articles of association, they can represent Nolanka Group.
As for whether Nolanka Family has any blood heirs, it is not something they need to worry about. After all, Nolanka Family has been the only seedling for several generations, and Vian may be the last bloodline.
"Okay,"
Old Man saw everyone's excited expressions and knew that the time had come. He waved his hands with a smile, "Then take a look at the Listing Plan that Nord Financial Consulting Company has planned for us."
He waved gently and pressed the communication button on his desk, which connected to the Board of Directors secretary's desk outside Board of Directors Meeting Room.
Soon, the call was connected and he chuckled, "Ailiana, bring Listing Plan in."
After a while, there was no response on the phone.
Old Man frowned and shouted softly, "Ailiana? Ailiana?"

Kaya City The morning was not warm, and it was already late December.
It's winter, and it's already a beautiful thing if it doesn't snow in the sky.
What's rare is that there was a little sunshine this morning, and the sun shone on my face, giving me a slight warmth.
The only regretful thing is that it is cloudless today. A day without clouds is much colder than a day with clouds.
His hair was messy and tangled, he was wearing a shabby jacket, and his face was stained. He looked like a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, who was warming his hands on a fire bucket that still had some residual flames.
The fire barrel is about a little more than one meter high, 60 to 70 centimeters in diameter, and the barrel is pitch black.
This kind of bucket itself is not used to warm the fire, but is generally used to hold liquid fuel.
However, because of its unique shape, it has good wind resistance, and because of this, the wood or coal flames in the barrel will not burn very brightly and can maintain the flame for a long time, so wanderers like to make it into a fire barrel to spend the cold nights.
This fire bucket does not belong to the boy, but is just the owner of the fire bucket. A group of Homeless Man who have been around here all year round went out to look for food. Only then did he have the opportunity to get out of his cold triangular tent and stand next to the fire bucket to warm his stiff body.
Just as the boy was warming himself up by the fire, there was a loud sound in the sky, like the sound of something flying through the air at high speed. He raised his head and looked at the sky, only to see a silver-gray object falling from the sky and falling into the alleyway in the distance.
He originally wanted to take a look, but after taking a look at the flames in the fire barrel that was about to be completely extinguished, he finally gave up.
After a while, he saw a tall and handsome young man walking from the end of the alley carrying a silver-gray Suitcase.
At first, his eyes were only on this young man, and then moved to the silver-gray Suitcase.
"Are you handsome?"
He Ao looked at Suitcase, the boy in front of him staring at him intently, and asked with a soft smile.
"Handsome!" The young man nodded sharply, still staring at Suitcase of He Ao, "This is so beautiful!"
Then he seemed to realize something and stepped away awkwardly, "Sorry, sir."
"It's okay," He Ao smiled and shook his head, casually took out a roll of banknotes from his clothes bag and handed it to the boy, "Thank you for your compliment, it is indeed beautiful."
Vian doesn't like others to praise him, but he likes others to praise his creations. Of course, it must be sincere.
"Eh? For me?"
The young man looked at the roll of banknotes and was stunned for a moment.
He looked at He Ao nervously, and slowly stretched out his dirty hand, then retracted hesitantly. He looked at He Ao's clean and white fingers, and wiped his palm on the torn jacket.
He still seemed hesitant.
Finally he swallowed and reached out to grab the roll of money.
However, at this moment, the movements of his hands suddenly paused, and his eyes stayed behind He Ao.
