Chapter 1486 - 1485
According to Li Jianshui’s own thoughts, he didn’t care about the survival of the company; he just wanted to sell the company to make one last bit of money. However, now that Li Zixia had asked, he couldn’t very well speak the truth. After all, he had been bragging just now; if he spoke the truth, wouldn’t it be slapping his own face?
"Of course, Zixia, the company is big brother’s hard work, so naturally, saving the company is the top priority." Li Jianshui laughed.
Li Zixia said, "Uncle said so, does anyone else have an opinion?"
No one made a sound.
Li Zixia said, "It seems that everyone has reached a consensus again. We are selling the company to save it, not destroy it. So, going forward, when we decide to whom we will sell the company, it must be based on this premise. Uncle, is that correct?"
Li Jianshui nodded, "Yes."
Li Zixia said, "Then let’s analyze Mortal and Wangu, the two companies. Ruofan Capital noticed us before Wangu. The reason Ruofan is interested in us is that they believe our company has value and can still be saved. Therefore, the purpose of Ruofan Capital’s acquisition is to bring the company back to life. As for Wangu Group, I don’t know their goal. I’ve heard that Wangu Group has always been at odds with Mortal Group, having had multiple confrontations, with Wangu usually coming out on the losing end."
"I have reason to believe that Wangu’s proposal to acquire our company is also to trip up Mortal Group. Their purpose is simply to deal with Mortal, and we are just a pawn, with no hope of Wangu helping our company. If the company falls into Wangu’s hands, it’s very likely it will be dismantled and sold, leading to utter ruin."
"Therefore, the company cannot be sold to Wangu!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jianshui immediately said, "Zixia, how do you know all this?"
Li Zixia, knowing he would ask this, said, "Because I’ve looked into it and personally talked with President Feng of Ruofan Capital."
Li Jianshui said, "Zixia, you’re still young, the world is dangerous. How do you know that Feng Ruolan isn’t deceiving you? You can’t just listen to one side, can you? What I heard from Mr. Wei is different from yours. Mr. Wei promised me he would help the company out of its difficulties. As for who was earlier or later, that doesn’t prove anything. It’s very possible that Ruofan Capital aims to dismantle us, while Wangu genuinely wants to help us. The reason is simple: Ruofan is purely a capital company, located far away in Yun City, with no relation to us; they come just to make money, and there’s no chance they’ll do charity. Wangu, on the other hand, is a large local company in Hang City. I believe Mr. Wei genuinely has our best interests at heart."
The shareholders, listening to them, looked at each other, feeling like they both made sense and unsure of whom to believe.
The acquisition of the company ultimately requires a shareholder vote. Now, all shareholders are unanimously agreeing to sell the company, but no decision has been made about whom to sell it to.
It seems there are now two factions, one led by Li Zixia wanting to sell the company to Mortal, and the other led by Li Jianshui wanting to sell to Wangu.
It depends on whether Li Zixia or Li Jianshui can convince the majority of the shareholders.
Li Zixia said, "I didn’t listen to one side’s words. First, it’s true Ruofan won’t do charity; they’re here to make money. Then why does our company interest them, why do they see a profit to be made? Are they here just to dismantle and sell off our assets? Given our current company situation, everyone knows the answer. Would Ruofan even care about our little assets? Just like Uncle Chen just said, Mortal Group is a technology company. They are interested in us because we are a computer technology company. That’s our core value and the reason Ruofan is interested. Isn’t that enough to prove the problem?"
"Secondly, the reason I’m so confident in Ruofan is that I’ve met Mortal’s boss, Lin Fan, Mr. Lin. He found me in the United Kingdom, and I can say he is my savior. What does Mr. Lin want? Just our worthless assets? No, he’s interested in my technology. As long as we merge with Mortal Group, with Mortal funding us and us providing technology, it’ll be a win-win situation!"
Ah?
Everyone was surprised.
This situation was unexpected!
Shareholder Chen Jianhao said, "I never thought there was such a thing. The young lady’s analysis is very reasonable, technology is indeed our company’s most valuable asset, and Mortal, being a tech company, naturally values our technology! As for Wangu Group, being a real estate company, I can’t think of their motive for acquiring us until the young lady just mentioned it. Then I realized they’re trying to oppose Mortal! I think, since our goal is to save the company, whom we should sell to needs no further explanation!"
After hearing Li Zixia and Chen Jianhao’s words, many shareholders couldn’t help but nod, seemingly convinced by Li Zixia.
Seeing this, Li Jianshui felt anxious.
"I admit, Zixia does make a lot of sense. Now I also accept Zixia’s opinion, believing that Ruofan can indeed save the company. However, this doesn’t negate Wangu Group’s intentions. I’ve personally had contact with Wangu Group, and everyone can trust me, I’m also thinking for the good of the company. Wangu Group is also interested in our technology!" Li Jianshui said.
Li Zixia frowned, "Uncle, are you sure?"
Li Jianshui said, "Of course, I’m not lying. Just as you just said, Zixia, could Wangu Group really be after our meager scraps? Of course, it’s because they see our true value! I don’t think Wangu, being a real estate company, can’t see our value. In fact, Wangu Group has been expanding their business territory. If they acquire our company, we will surely be valued! As for what you said about Wangu acquiring us just to oppose Mortal, that’s nonsense. Do you think Wangu has money to burn just to play games?"
"What President Li said seems to make sense too!"
The shareholders nodded again and again.
Li Zixia said, "What I said is not nonsense..."
Li Jianshui interrupted her, laughing, "Alright, Zixia, I think we have already expressed our views and should let the shareholders digest them. You just returned, and you don’t know much about the company’s situation. Perhaps you can first understand it a bit, and you may change your mind! You’ll understand that my approach is the best solution, because over this past year, it was I who managed the company, not you!"
Li Zixia said, "Father suffered unfortunately, and I wandered abroad during this time. Uncle managed the company, for which I am grateful. Now that the company has reached the point where it must be sold, I do not blame Uncle, but I want to say that the company has taken many detours and it is time to return to the right track."
Li Zixia said she didn’t blame Li Jianshui, but the implication was that the company took detours while under his management.
Li Jianshui’s face was somewhat embarrassed, "Zixia, what do you mean by that?"
Li Zixia said, "What I mean is, I have returned now and want to personally manage the company, no longer needing Uncle to do it on my behalf."
