Is someone going to persuade Chenghui to surrender? Who is it? As soon as the words came out, Xiaobai suddenly felt that the air around him had inexplicably tightened, and many people's attention was focused on himself. Was this general manager hinting that Luoshuihan should ask Bai Shaofeng to come forward and settle the matter? Xiaobai was very curious, but after a moment's thought, he understood that he was now a "celebrity" in Wuyou, and not long ago, the leader of the Black Dragon Gang had led his eight powerful subordinates to queue up at the hospital to apologize, causing a sensation in Wuyou. If even the underworld could be settled, the means must not be simple, and it should also be possible to settle Chenghui.
Luo Shuihan glanced at Xiao Bai with a hint of amusement in his eyes, but his face remained expressionless. This was the first time Xiao Bai had sensed any amusement from Luo Shuihan since he returned from Shanmo Country, and she couldn't understand why his mood had been so heavy all along. However, seeing Luo Shuihan's reaction put Xiao Bai at ease - earlier, Luo Shuihan had only taken her words as a joke and hadn't taken them to heart.
The situation has been reported almost, the president of Helo Group, Li Zidong began to speak, he asked a specific question: "Please introduce the specific situation of Rio Pharmaceutical, Minister Jiao."
The minister with the surname Jiao opened a folder and said, "Lio Pharmaceutical Company is registered in Qiong City and its production base is also located there. Previously, it produced cold medicines and antibiotics, mainly focusing on traditional Chinese medicine compound and modifying Western medicine chemical formulas to synthesize antibiotics..."
Li Zhi Dong interrupted him: "Just introduce the capital situation briefly."
Director Zao flipped through three or four pages: "Liao Pharmaceutical was listed on the Growth Enterprise Market in Shenzhen five years ago, with a total share capital of 98 million yuan. The company is not large in scale, and its current stock price fluctuates around 1.8 yuan. The shares are relatively dispersed, with the largest shareholder holding only 6.4%, and the top ten shareholders holding no more than 15% in total... Each of you directors has a copy of the detailed information."
Li Zhi Dong: "Minister Xing, what about your business investigation results?"
Another person replied: "After investigation, Rio Pharmaceutical Company signed a three-year contract with Qiongzhou Medical Sales Group for the exclusive agency of pharmaceutical products. The ex-factory price of blood test reagents is 5 yuan per unit... A detailed report has been provided to each director before the meeting."
When Minister Xing was reporting, Xiaobai clearly felt that the directors sitting in front of him had obvious disdain and contempt. Xiaobai suddenly realized why? They were not despising Minister Xing, but despising the petty-mindedness of Rio Pharmaceutical Company. Although this company reused Chenghui and invested in the production of new blood testing reagents, its market estimation was much smaller, and it did not truly realize its huge profit space.
It's normal to think about it, with a certain amount of capital, you can do things of a certain size, and with a certain amount of confidence, you have a certain level of ambition. In the eyes of Luo Shuihan and others, Rio Pharmaceutical Company is just a small company, its capital strength and market promotion ability determine that the first step can only go so far. Xiaobai thought again - after accumulating development for a period of time, the market of that company will open up, and their vision will also open up, and the atmosphere will certainly be different from today. Isn't the growth process of people the same? But will Luo Shuihan give it this opportunity?
This is the first time Xiao Bai has attended a high-level meeting of a large group, and it's completely different from what he imagined. There was no heated discussion or research, and directors like Luo Shuihan only asked questions to understand the situation without expressing too many opinions. Some people didn't even say a word during the report. In fact, the purpose of this meeting is just to make decisions, while formulating action plans is part of daily work, which has already been prepared by "people below" and will be executed by them as well.
When the situation report was almost finished, Li Zidong announced: "Next is the board voting, please leave those who are not relevant." More than half of the people in the conference room stood up and left, leaving only nine people, including six directors, one secretary of the board of directors, Luo Xue and Bai Shaoliu. Xiao Bai didn't know if he was irrelevant or not, but since Luo Xue didn't leave, he just sat there without moving, and others didn't care about him either. Among the seven directors of He Luo Group, six were present and one was absent. The meeting below was presided over by the secretary of the board of directors, starting with proposal voting.
Secretary Dong read out three proposals submitted by Director Li Zhi Dong for voting.
The first proposal is to reduce holdings in Kangmei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. without losing control of the company's board of directors. The plan is to reduce holdings of no more than 5% of Kangmei Pharmaceutical's total shares, with a total of no more than 17 million shares, and the realized amount is expected to be around RMB 500 million. It will be implemented by the Group Investment Department within one month. A detailed plan provided by the Investment Department has been submitted to all directors before the meeting.
This proposal was unexpected to Xiao Bai, but the person in charge of Kang Ran Pharmaceutical had already made a tentative suggestion earlier. However, I didn't expect that such a plan had been prepared before the meeting, no wonder several directors were calm and composed just now.
The second proposal is to acquire Rio Pharmaceutical Company through Shanghai United Securities Exchange. Considering the factors such as the rise in stock price caused by the acquisition, the total amount of funds mobilized will not exceed 300 million, and it will be implemented jointly by the Investment Department and the Planning Department to quickly control this company. The acquisition plan has been submitted to all directors.
This proposal made Xiaobai feel very surprised and sudden, it turned out that these "big brothers" had planned a long time ago - to buy out their competitors! Taking advantage of the opponent's weakness, before they even realize their own potential or have the strength to protect themselves. It's really high! And can make a big profit in the future.
The third proposal is to assist a third party in acquiring Qiongzhou Pharmaceutical Distribution Group, which is the general distributor of Rio Pharmaceuticals' new blood testing reagents. Qiongzhou Pharmaceutical Distribution Group is an unlisted state-controlled enterprise, so the main target of acquisition is state-owned shares. Currently, such acquisitions are welcome and can enjoy preferential policies as local investment attraction achievements. Another overseas investment company under Luoshuihan's name will take the lead in acquiring, planning to allocate funds within 200 million, and the Investment Department and Public Relations Department of Heluo Group will assist in implementation.
If the second proposal was unexpected but still understandable, the third proposal left Xiaobai slightly confused. Since they have already bought and controlled the pharmaceutical factory, is it necessary to also buy the distributors? Looking at Luo Xiao's expression, he seemed to have the same question.
The first two proposals were passed unanimously, and the third proposal was approved with four votes in favor and two abstentions. After the meeting, only three people remained in the empty conference room: Luo Shuihan, his daughter, and Xiao Bai. Luo Shuihan looked at Xiao Bai twice, thought for a moment, and didn't let him leave, so Xiao Bai sat still without moving.
"Little one, sitting here listening to the adults discussing business must be boring for you? It's really hard on you, having to deal with these troubles at such a young age. ... The real big business isn't about opening factories and machines, nor is it about setting up shops and selling products. It's all about manipulating money, finance is the superstructure of all industries. ... There are plenty of talented people who can do things for us, we just need to decide what kind of person does what, as long as we make the right decision, that's all. Today you're attending this kind of meeting for the first time, if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask." Luo Shuihan finally revealed a warm and gentle smile, speaking kindly to Luo Xue.
Luò raised an eyebrow, looking very cute: "I'm not a kid anymore! I understand what you're talking about today. But I want to ask, why do we need to acquire that distributor? It seems like overkill." This was also what Xiao Bai wanted to ask.
Luo Shuihan nodded in approval: "When doing things, you can't just think about the current step, but also consider the overall situation and the most advantageous next move. It's like playing chess." Luo Shuihan began to explain to Luo Xue, more patiently than any teacher explaining a problem in class...
What Luo Shuihan cares about is not whether the lawsuit can be won or how much reagent each company can sell, but rather the maximum commercial profit of this project. Acquiring Liao Pharmaceutical Company is not only acquiring a competitor, but also utilizing the stock market theme of a project twice. The stock price of Kangran Pharmaceutical has been fully overestimated and there is no big room for discovery, but Liao Pharmaceutical is different. As long as the market prospects of its new project are recognized, there will be explosive capital growth space.
However, there is a problem here. Liao Pharmaceutical gave up most of its profits due to its own market promotion capabilities. Its products will occupy the market, but turn a 20-yuan market into a 5-yuan market, with benefits far less than the losses caused, greatly shrinking the commercial value of the entire project. This shrinkage in profit is actually in the hands of distributors between product delivery and final consumption.
At the same time, it acquired Rio Pharmaceutical Company and Qiongzhou Medical Sales Group, which actually controlled the entire profit link. This also has another benefit, can be convenient to reasonably adjust the sales revenue and report performance of Rio Pharmaceuticals at any time, continuously injecting profits to make this company grow, and achieve maximum returns in the capital market through equity expansion and stock price increase. Since the market cycle of new products is three to five years, this capital operation cycle is also three to five years, and then exit with full profit.
If the acquisition is successful, whether or not to sue is an internal matter and can even be used as a publicity stunt. Chenghui's responsibility must still be pursued, although there are reasons for his actions, but his way of revenge is intolerable. However, his behavior objectively gave Luoshuihan the opportunity to make money twice on one project, and Luoshuihan also admired this person - this kid has great destructive power and is a technical genius.
Luoshuihan's explanation made Luoxue and Xiaobai understand. Luoxue nodded repeatedly, while Xiaobai, though expressionless, was inwardly marveling: "Luoshuihan can think clearly when he explains it himself, but would ordinary people be able to think of it if he didn't explain? Even if they did think of it, would they have the power and ability to put it into action? Wisdom and strength can only be demonstrated from a certain position."
After finishing the proper business, Luo Shuihan said: "Xiao Xiang, you're also tired. Go to the rest room that Uncle Luo specially prepared for you and take a break. Have lunch with your father at noon, and in the afternoon, Gu Jiejie will give you lessons again."
Luoxi was about to leave when Xiao Bai suddenly remembered something and stood up saying: "Mr. Luo, I have something to tell you."
"Ah? Xiao Bai, do you have something to say? Sit down and speak slowly!... Xiao Xue, go rest first, Teacher Gu is waiting outside the door." After Xiao Xue bid farewell and left, Luo Shuihan said to Xiao Bai: "I heard that not long ago, you were injured protecting Xiao Xue. I haven't properly thanked you yet. If there's anything you need, just ask, don't be polite with me."
Bai Shaoliu: "Mr. Luo, don't misunderstand, I have no other demands and the He Luo Group has never owed me wages. There's something else I want to tell you, the Black Dragon Society paid 400,000 yuan into my hands, and I gave 200,000 yuan to Director Luo."
Luoshui Han smiled: "This thing has been told to me by that old fellow, since you're here, I happen to have another matter to ask for your advice."
Bai Shaoliu: "Mr. Luo still has something to ask me? I dare not presume to be your teacher!"
Luoshui Han: "Don't be so modest, you have many areas where you're better than me, such as your martial skills. I'm asking you, what do you think of Wang Rong? That unlucky groom."
Bai Shaoliu: "He's very thoughtful and ambitious, but I really dislike him. As for his private life, I don't want to comment, but he knew the wedding might be troublesome, yet still invited Luo Miss, even trying to take advantage of me. He uses everything to his advantage, without considering Luo Miss's current situation is not peaceful."
Luo Shuihan: "I heard he approached you, and at the wedding, you just stood there watching him get beaten to a pulp without lifting a finger?"
Bai Shaoliu: "It's not that I didn't want to move, but rather I didn't dare to. At the time, I could feel that there was danger lurking around us, targeting Miss Luo, and my first priority wasn't protecting him."
Luoshui Han: "I was right about you! It's even more rare that Luoxi considers you a friend and isn't annoyed with you at all... Never mind, there's one proposal that wasn't discussed in the meeting earlier, I'd like to hear your opinion."
"What plan?"
"Someone suggested that we use the competitor's new reagent to secretly arrange a series of major misdiagnosis incidents, such as misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose AIDS or other serious diseases, causing severe consequences for patients. This can create a product credibility crisis, temporarily suppressing its market share, and also lead to a decline in the competitor's stock price, allowing us to acquire it at a low price... what do you think?"
"It's not good, it's extremely not good, it's simply stupid! It's too obvious in the eyes of others that you guys did this. This kind of thing is not difficult to investigate through repeated verification. What's more serious is that if the other party uses the same means, Kang Ruan Pharmaceutical will suffer even greater losses on such a large scale. No matter what, it's not worth it, and it also implicates innocent patients, their hearts are too cruel! Business competition is about making money, not about making everyone lose business! Who came up with this stupid idea?"
Luo Shuihan: "Judging from your words just now, you also have the potential to become a successful businessman, and you can see things clearly. Actually, this plan was proposed by Wang Rong on his sickbed, he wanted to take credit and avoid blame. This person cannot be kept, once he's out of the hospital, let him pack up and leave, Luo Xue doesn't need someone like that by her side."
"Miss Luo by your side?"
"Indeed, these industries will eventually belong to Luo Xue. Xiao Bai, go and attend to your own matters, you've worked hard!"
……
Xiaobai accompanied Luoxue's "learning career" like this, in addition to attending meetings, she also had to attend classes. The first class Luoxue took at the Luoyang Building was "Qimen Shusuan", and the lecturer was naturally Gu Ying. Xiaobai had many questions about Gu Ying, this icy beauty, who used to be a student of Aphrodite, would know Western magic, while Qimen Shusuan is a typical Eastern mysticism, how could these two things be combined? Others saw Gu Ying as a high-level white-collar worker, but Xiaobai thought she was like a witch, or a fusion of Eastern and Western witches! And why did Luoshuihan let her daughter learn these things? Was it to become a little witch too?
The first class, Xiao Bai accompanied Luo Xue into the classroom. This classroom was a bit special, with a desk and chair placed under the podium, obviously for Luo Xue's use. On the podium, there were not only white blackboards but also projection screens and other multimedia equipment. Gu Ying saw Xiao Bai enter the classroom and was taken aback, saying: "Mr. Bai, this is private tutoring, why are you here too?"
"Right, I'm also a personal bodyguard. Even if Miss Gu goes out to the Luo Yang Building, I have to follow her... If Miss Gu doesn't agree with me staying in the classroom, then I'll just stand outside the door. With you here, there shouldn't be anything to worry about."
Luo Xue was unhappy: "Why did you let Xiao Bai stand outside the door, this isn't a big classroom in school, are you, Gu sister, looking down on him for not paying tuition?"
This sentence made Gu Ying laugh, and the smile only flashed faintly before disappearing. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let Mr. Bai sit in the classroom, this is also your job."
It's rare to see Gu Ying face to face and smile once. Xiao Bai also made a joke: "Is Miss Gu afraid that I will steal her skills?"
Gu Ying replied very seriously, "You haven't studied the basics, so even if you hear something, it's meaningless. Don't follow along and think about it, there won't be any gain or benefit... Your chair, sit here, don't turn around to look at the blackboard." Xiao Bai felt that Gu Ying was quite interesting, not as cold as he looked, and had even specially moved a chair over for him. Moreover, the position of the chair was quite humorous, placed under the podium on one side, with his back to the blackboard and facing Luo Xi.
The bodyguard usually stands in a corner at the back of the classroom, facing the entire room to see everything. However, Gu Ying let Xiao Bai sit in front and couldn't see her on the podium. There's no way, the teacher is in charge in the classroom, so Xiao Bai sat down like this. Lu Xiu was delighted, as soon as Gu Ying turned around, she took the opportunity to make a funny face at Xiao Bai.
