Song Zhongping spoke first. "Zhao Zong, let me be honest. Bubble Mary This project was pushed by you from the very beginning.
From cutting off Ningxia Huaqiang, to buying Mololoy Copyright, and then to collecting Existing Shares, you are in front of me every step of the way.
There are flaws in the procedure, but the result is here - 26.3% of the shares, a cost of 360 million. At this price, I think it is worth it."
Chen Wei also nodded. "I agree with Mr. Song's opinion. When Haoyu Construction first joined Henglong, Zhao Zong gave us full trust and support.
This time, there are indeed procedural flaws, but the business decision is right. I will support it on Thursday's Board of Directors."
Su Wantang said softly from the side, "I was fully involved in Bubble Mary's matter.
The trust that Wang An has in Xiao Chen is not accumulated by the program, but by doing what he says every time.
This result is more important than any compliance program."
Zhang Qingxue closed the folder and nodded.
"I will explain the legal compliance issues on Thursday's Board of Directors.
The procedure is flawed, but the risk is controllable. Moreover, all agreements to give up Voting Rights have been signed, and there is no problem with the legal validity.
From a risk control perspective, this is worth doing."
Chen Xi didn't speak, just sat there quietly, looking at Zhao Chen.
She was the executor of this project from beginning to end, and she knew how difficult every step was.
From Beijing to Belgium, from Wang An to Long Xiangsheng, from Private Placement to Existing Share Acquisition, in everything, Zhao Chen rushed in front and she followed behind.
Now, 26.3% of the shares, cost 360 million. This result is better than anyone expected.
Zhao Chen looked at these people in Meeting Room, and suddenly felt that the biggest gain he had gained in Henglong for more than a year was not the numbers, but these people.
Chen Wei's pragmatism, Song Zhongping's stability, Chen Xi's execution, Chen Qiming's rigor, Liu Mingyu's coordination ability, Su Wantang's calmness, Zhang Qingxue's rigor.
They're not perfect, but they're a team.
"Okay." Zhao Chen stood up, "The meeting is adjourned. Thursday Board of Directors, be there on time."
Everyone stood up one after another and walked out.
Chen Xi walked the slowest. When she was packing up her computer, Zhao Chen walked next to her.
"Thank you for your hard work on Bubble Mary." Zhao Chen said.
Chen Xi raised his head and looked at him.
"Zhao Zong, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask - why did you bypass the Board of Directors authorization? You know this matter will be questioned."
Zhao Chen was silent for a while.
"Because there is not enough time, Wang An relented, Existing Shares Dong is willing to sell, and the window period is only a few days.
If you wait until Board of Directors is opened before taking action, it will take at least two weeks. After two weeks, it's hard to say whether those shares will still be there."
He looked at Chen Xi and his voice became softer.
"I know there are risks in the procedure. But this risk is worth taking."
Chen Xi said nothing.
She just nodded, closed the computer, turned around and walked out.
Su Wantang walked up to Zhao Chen and handed him a cup of tea.
"Board of Directors on Thursday, what are you going to say?"
Zhao Chen took the tea cup and took a sip.
"To be honest, I didn't have enough time and the opportunity was rare, so I did it first. I will take responsibility for any procedural issues."
Su Wantang looked at him and nodded.
"This is probably the best solution. The truth is most powerful."
She also turned and walked out.
Zhang Qingxue was the last to leave.
She walked to the door and looked back at Zhao Chen.
"Xiao Chen, the invitation letter from SpaceX has been sent to your email.
Existing Shares Two companies in the east have expressed their willingness to negotiate, and we will wait for you to come New York to advance."
Zhao Chen nodded. "I understand. I will arrange it after Board of Directors opens on Thursday."
Zhang Qingxue opened the door and walked out.
Zhao Chen is the only one left among Meeting Room.
He stood in front of the whiteboard and looked at the numbers written by Chen Xi - Private Placement 5%, 50 million.
Existing Share Acquisition 21.3%, 310 million. Total 26.3%, 360 million.
He picked up the eraser and erased the numbers.
Then he walked out of Meeting Room and returned to his office.
After returning to the office, he found Cheng Jiaxun's phone number and dialed.
Zhao Chen originally planned to go to Yunnan to meet and chat with Yunnan Agriculture Group Cheng Jiaxun.
But Henglong's backlog was more than he imagined.
The phone rang twice and was connected.
"Mr. Cheng, I am Zhao Chen."
"Chairman Zhao!" Cheng Jiaxun's voice was loud and enthusiastic,
"I heard that you went to United States? When did you come back?"
"I just came back. I originally planned to visit you at Yunnan, but there are too many things going on at the company and I really can't leave, so I'll give you a call first."
Cheng Jiaxun smiled, "Chairman Zhao You're welcome. You are busy over there, I understand. Yunnan Agriculture Everything is fine here, you don't have to worry.
Zhou Hao has arrived at his post, and financial integration is progressing. Chen Xi from Board of Directors's side is present on behalf of Henglong, and the communication is very smooth."
Zhao Chen leaned back on the chair and relaxed a little.
"That's good. Mr. Cheng, Yunnan Agriculture Are there any changes in this year's slaughter plan?"
Cheng Jiaxun said, "There are no big changes. This year it is expected that about 1.2 million head will be slaughtered, an increase of 20% over last year.
The impact of African Swine Fever is still being observed, but the geographical location of Yunnan has a natural barrier, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem at the moment."
The two chatted for more than ten minutes, ranging from Yunnan Agriculture's production capacity planning to this year's pig price trend, from environmental protection policies to feed costs.
Cheng Jiaxun is a down-to-earth person who doesn't talk in roundabout ways. Zhao Chen likes this way of communication.
In the second half of the conversation, Cheng Jiaxun suddenly mentioned a name.
"Chairman Zhao, do you know Shunxin Agriculture?"
Zhao Chen's fingers paused on the table for a moment.
Cheng Jiaxun said, "This company has recently begun to enter Live Pigs breeding on a large scale.
They have built bases in Hebei and Inner Mongolia, and they are doing a lot. I heard that their slaughter volume this year may exceed 500,000."
Zhao Chen did not answer the call immediately.
Shunxin Agriculture and Animal Husbandry--Of course he knows this name.
Previous Life, this company's Baijiu business is much more famous than its pork business.
Niba Mountain Erguotou is the flagship product of Shunxin Agriculture.
In 2018, had the Baijiu business not been installed in Listed Company?
He thought about it and realized that it was wrong - Shunxin Agriculture was originally Listed Company, and Niba Mountain Distillery was always its Core Assets.
It's just that at this time, the market's attention to Shunxin Agriculture is still mainly focused on the pork business, and the explosive power of Baijiu has not yet been fully released.
"Mr. Cheng," Zhao Chen's voice was calm, "Shunxin Agriculture, how much do you know about the pig raising business?"
Cheng Jiaxun said, "The understanding is not deep. But they have done a few things well -
We have a foundation for breeding pigs, Xiaodian Breeding Pigs has a good reputation in the industry, and we also have a complete chain of slaughtering and meat product processing.
Moreover, their financial strength is very strong. Niba Mountain Erguotou has grown rapidly in recent years, which can inject blood into the pig farming business.
Chairman Zhao, are you interested in this company?"
Zhao Chen smiled, "Let's find out. Mr. Cheng, thank you for telling me the news."
"Why are you so polite? Chairman Zhao, come to Yunnan when you are free, and I'll treat you to our Yunnan Agriculture's pork."
"Definitely. Mr. Cheng, take care."
The phone hung up.
Zhao Chen put the phone on the table, leaned on the back of the chair, and his mind was racing.
Shunxin Agriculture--He Previous Life has this company in his memory.
Now, all he has to do is confirm whether his memory is correct.
