Chapter 206: The Cornered Zhang Chongba
20 million?" Zhao Xuebing was stunned and stared at Yang Qiuyu with round eyes, "Are you serious?"
In 1998, 20 million was a huge amount of money.
You must know that no one bought Penguin's 1 million yuan back then. A few years later, the number of Penguin registered people reached 10 million, and the first investment was only 3 million.
So when Yang Qiuyu said 20 million, both Zhao Xuebing and Wu Sikai were shocked and couldn't believe it.
Yang Qiuyu saw that the shocked expressions of the two were a bit funny, and smiled inadvertently, "Why do you dislike Shao?"
"No, no, no, how could we dislike the less? We felt it was too much, and we were so shocked that it was hard to believe... It's hard to believe, Mr. Yang, are you kidding us?"
"Hahaha..." Yang Qiuyu said with a hearty smile. "How could I joke with you."
"Thank you, thank you, you are our benefactor. I...I, Zhao Xuebing, kowtow to you." Zhao Xuebing shed two tears on the spot.
After Zhao Xuebing quit his job and started his own business, he faced tremendous pressure. First of all, there was pressure from his family. His wife couldn’t figure out why she wanted to resign and start a business because she was not waiting for a good job in a state-owned enterprise. She had been working hard for three years and already owed money to the bank.
Millions of loans.
My parents were also so angry that they fell ill.
Maybe it seems a bit unbelievable to us now, but in those days, the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises was a very decent and stable job, but starting a business was out of reach for ordinary people, and it was a fool's errand.
Zhao Xuebing's wife filed for divorce just three days ago.
He tried his best to persuade her to stay, and knelt down with tears in her eyes, saying that he would give himself half a year in the end, and if the company didn't improve, he would agree to divorce.
But my wife said, it’s been three years, I wasted three years, my house was mortgaged because of your bullshit chip, and I still owe the bank so much money.
Zhao Xuebing said that for the sake of his children, he would give him some more time, saying that the company would definitely succeed.
My wife is conflicted. It’s not that she doesn’t love Zhao Xuebing, it’s just that she really can’t live with this tormenting life anymore.
In the end, his wife only gave him one month.
Wu Sikai's situation is the same as Zhao Xuebing's. The biggest pressure also comes from home. The two were once confused.
Penguin and Taobao also experienced something like this back then.
Dad Ma was looking for investors everywhere, but those investors thought Dad Ma was a pyramid scheme, and some even made fun of him.
When Ma Tengteng, the founder of Penguin, could not find investors, he sold Penguin for 1 million, but no one bought it.
Time has witnessed everything in the end, and those investors who did not invest in Penguin and Taobao regretted it so much.
"This is a check for 20 million, and this is the contract... You can take a look at it. It's best to sign the contract today and go to see the factory in the afternoon. I have already taken a fancy to an electronics factory. We can buy it directly. The money to buy the electronics factory,
Let me do it." Yang Qiuyu followed Lin Bufan's instructions and built the third generation playback chip as quickly as possible.
Zhao Xuebing and Wu Sikai were stunned again. This efficiency was too fast, and even the electronics factory was already optimistic about it.
The general process is to sign a contract within a week, then visit the factory, recruit workers, build an electronics factory, buy equipment, then start construction, and finally put it into the market, with investment and advertising in between.
"Don't always look shocked. Do you know what military speed is? Electronic products are updated quickly. Although your third-generation playback chip is currently leading in the country, foreign companies may already be developing the third-generation playback chip.
The fourth generation playback chip is out, or the playback chip will be replaced by other devices, so we must be quick." Yang Qiuyu said sternly.
"Mr. Yang is right." Zhao Xuebing cannot miss this investment. This is the only opportunity to hold his family, and the amount of investment is so huge.
The two thought that Yang Qiuyu would ask for 60% of the shares. At that time, this was basically how shares were allocated in China, but after seeing that the contract only required 50% of the shares, the two felt warm in their hearts.
When Yang Qiuyu saw that the two of them were satisfied, he smiled and said, "Then just sign. We will go to the electronics factory in the afternoon and buy any equipment we need right away."
Zhao Xuebing asked: "Mr. Yang, I understand that soldiers are valuable and quick, but how do I feel? You seem to have other reasons."
Yang Qiuyu laughed and said: "Smart..."
Then Yang Qiuyu said that he was so eager to make third-generation chips this time, firstly to make money, and secondly to help his friend's company overcome difficulties. That friend was Huihuang Company, but Yang Qiuyu did not say the specific name.
"So after mass production, supply to Huihuang first." Yang Qiuyu said.
"Mr. Yang, don't worry. You are our benefactor, and we will definitely help Huihuang Company in the future."
"Well, thank you both. Besides, my friend is very respectable, so I hope you don't tell me. When my friend comes to see you, you try your best to help her. This is the greatest kindness you can show me."
"Okay, we will listen to you in everything."
In the afternoon, the three of them went to the southern suburbs of Chenzhou. There was an electronics factory in the southern suburbs. The boss wanted to sell the factory and go abroad.
This electronics factory itself is a manufacturer of MP3 players, but what they make is a copycat.
After looking at the equipment, Zhao Xuebing said that as long as some electronic robotic arms and engineering tables are added, the mass production of the third-generation playback chips can be started.
Yang Qiuyu said: "Then I will give you another 5 million, and you will implement this matter tomorrow, okay?"
The two of them patted their chests and promised, "After the equipment is purchased tomorrow, debugging will begin. The third generation playback chip will be produced the day after tomorrow at the latest."
In the afternoon, Yang Qiuyu bought the electronics factory at a high price and retained all the workers. This was also a great joy for the workers. Once mass production began, they would be able to make money.
After being busy with matters in Chenzhou, Yang Qiuyu rushed back to Hangzhou overnight.
On the way, Yang Qiuyu reported the "battle situation" to Lin Bufan.
Lin Bufan was very satisfied after hearing this: "Qiu Yu, you are starting to behave like a CEO."
Yang Qiuyu touched his nose and felt embarrassed. Half a year ago, he was still a part-time worker. After training at Mortal Technology, he has begun to develop the ability to be a leader.
"That's all because of your teachings."
"Stop saying such flattery, you have the ability yourself." Lin Bufan said with a smile.
In his previous life, Lin Bufan opened a training school, and Yang Qiuyu was the principal. He was a very studious person, so Lin Bufan and his friends of more than ten years naturally knew his personality and abilities.
One day passed in the blink of an eye.
After Zhang Chongba returned home from Wanlian, he did not think about food and drink. He was now troubled by internal and external troubles. Without Ma Xingming and others seizing power, Situ Nan and the patriots, Hua Yun, joined forces to stop him.
Moreover, there are already rumors on the market that Huihuang has been abandoned by Wanlian, and Huihuang's stock price has dropped to 20 yuan.
Under this situation, the only thing Zhang Chongba can do is to "lead the wolf into the house", which is to give part of the shares to Situ Nan in exchange for Situ Nan's support. This is just his idea, and he doesn't know the specific appetite of Situ Nan.
It is estimated that Situ Nan would not like shares with less than 10%.
Zhang Xiuyue has been to Galaxy and Sweet companies in the past two days. These two companies also produce playback chips. Currently, these three companies are the only ones in China capable of producing second-generation playback chips.
But Wanlian had already said hello, and the three monopoly companies all vented their anger through the same nostril.
In the mid-level villa area.
Inside Zhang Chongba's study.
Zhang Chongba lit a cigar after a long absence.
"Dad, it's not good for you to be sick. Stop convulsing." Zhang Xiuyue looked sad. She had been running around everywhere in the past few days, and she had experienced what it meant to be helpless.
"It's time like this, let me smoke it." Zhang Chongba took a sip and started coughing.
"Dad..." Zhang Xiuyue hurriedly rubbed Zhang Chongba's back gently.
Zhang Chongba was exhausted mentally and his eyes were cloudy.
"Xiuyue, you've suffered a lot these past few days." Zhang Chongba held Zhang Xiuyue's hand tightly and said sadly, "Now that we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, our Zhang family may fall."
"Dad, don't think like that, we will definitely get through this."
"That bastard Ma Xingming is going to convene an emergency board of directors tomorrow. He is definitely trying to seize power."
"Dad, there will definitely be a way. Don't worry too much."
"Alas..." Zhang Chongba sighed deeply and said, "It's all because of your two brothers' failure."
After all, if Zhang Guoan and Zhang Wensi had stayed down, Lin Bufan wouldn't have taken action.
"Dad, as of now, we can only face it positively. I believe our Zhang family will be able to get through it."
Zhang Chongba shook his head bitterly, "It's difficult...Xiuyue, Dad still has a sum of money here. If our family loses control of the company, you can take this money and have enough food and clothing."
Zhang Chongba handed a bankbook into Zhang Xiuyue's hand.
"Dad..." Zhang Xiuyue's tears fell on her bankbook.
"Dad hasn't taken good care of you for so many years. I'm sorry for you." Zhang Chongba choked with sobs.
Zhang Xiuyue suddenly pounced on Zhang Chongba: "Dad, we will definitely get through this."
Zhang Chongba stroked Zhang Xiuyue's hair lovingly and sighed deeply.
The next day, Huihuang Group held an emergency board meeting.
