Chapter 182

He thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it again, and I'll talk about it in a few days."

Such a big matter, he can't decide for a while, and he just agrees, and he has to ask other shareholders for their opinions, because Hongxin's shareholding will definitely dilute their share ratio.

Su Xu thought about it for a long time alone, and it seemed that what Su Zhirong said made sense. Until midnight, he was thinking about this question over and over again.

Ye Rui asked, "Why are you thinking about not sleeping so late?"

Su Xu briefly explained the matter to his wife, Ye Rui smiled and said, "You are confused. Let's look at it from an objective point of view. If Hongxin becomes a shareholder in Thunderstorm Appliances, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing!" Su Xu said, "Hongxin's capital and resources are all we need. Now Leiyu home appliances are not enough, and they can only compete with those low-end brands on price, with low profits. ."

"If we can enter the high-end smart home field, then we will have a future. It's a pity that capital will invest in us? All of them will invest in those big brands."

Ye Rui smiled and said, "You have already analyzed it from an objective point of view. I will analyze it for you from a subjective point of view."

"You want to make a smart home, right?"

"Yeah." Su Xu nodded.

"Then, other shareholders of the company feel that there is too much investment in research and development, and there is no obvious return. So they want to continue to maintain the current state, which is different from your business philosophy, but you can't convince them."

"If Hongxin takes a stake in your company, you will gain the right to speak. Think about it, who made the decisions in the company at that time? Lu Zixin is your son-in-law, and his business philosophy is the same as yours. At that time, the company was not what you said. Forget it? Those shareholders can no longer affect you."

"Huh... that makes sense!" Su Xu reacted.

"So, it's not that simple. Both objective and subjective are beneficial. Why do you think so much? It's done by making this happen! Are you still afraid that our daughter is joking with you?" Ye Rui said.

"Yeah, I really couldn't turn my head just now!" Su Xu figured it out a little and said with a smile, "My wife still understands."

"Okay, go to sleep, and think about other things tomorrow."

...

Su Xu agreed to Lu Zixin's proposal, and then he went to persuade other shareholders of the company.

In addition to scattered shares, Thunderstorm Home Appliances has a total of nine shareholders who account for more than 5% of the shares. These eleven people are all the management of the company. Among them, three who account for more than 10% are Su Xu, who owns 12.3% of the shares, and Cai Yun, another vice president of the company, who accounts for 14.5% of the shares.

The remaining largest shareholder, Nie Guanglin, the current CEO of Leiyu Home Appliances, holds 18% of the shares.

Basically, as long as the three of them, or the majority of the nine, agree on a decision, it's settled.

Su Xu has always been vigorous and resolute in his work. He couldn't wait for the Chinese New Year to find Cai Yun and Nie Guanglin.

Nie Guanglin was over fifty this year, ten years older than Su Xu. It was him, Su Xu and Cai Yun who started a business in Jiangcheng together, and then established themselves in the magic capital.

In the office, Nie Guanglin reluctantly said, "Old Su, it's New Year's Eve, and people are very busy. You called us here, what's the important thing?"

Cai Yun guessed: "Isn't it referring to your smart speaker again?"

"Hey, don't mention it!" Nie Guanglin said, "Everyone has discussed it in the meeting before, this investment is not proportional to the return. The project must be cut, and it is useless for you to tell us."

However, this time, Su Xu did not show the same disappointed look as before, but said, "No, the smart speaker is ready."

"It's done?" the two asked in surprise.

"You can come and experience it." Su Xu brought the two of them to the experimental room of the smart home and let them experience the functions of the latest version of the smart speaker.

The two suddenly showed joy and said, "Great, our smart speakers are even easier to use than Jingdong's Dingdong speakers and Tmall Genie."

"This project has not been invested in vain, Lao Su, congratulations, you have successfully developed it!"

Nie Guanglin even said with a smile: "Now the company has another home appliance product, and this is all your credit! I will announce this to the whole company when there is a meeting in the next year!"

"This is actually not only our company's product." Su Xu's words made the two puzzled.

"What's the meaning?"

"In this latest smart speaker, the voice interaction system has been improved by Hongxin Company. And some important high-tech sensors are also from Hongxin Company." The more Su Xu explained, the more puzzled the two of them became.

"Red letter? How is this related to Hongxin? Our company didn't cooperate with them?"

Su Xu briefly explained and said, "Hongxin Company wants to take a stake in us and jointly develop the smart home field."

"We welcome investment, but they want to become the largest shareholder..." Nie Guanglin frowned, "Don't we want us to run the company for them?"

Su Xu explained: "The main business, they will not intervene for the time being. But in the direction of business, they will ask to go to the field of smart home. They have investment and technical strength, we will not suffer!"

Cai Yun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "On the surface, it doesn't really hurt, and it even took a big advantage!"

"But I'm afraid that the business philosophy of Hongxin Company is different from ours, and the management and business methods are rearranged."

Su Xu said: "Our company has not seen any growth in performance for several years. Maybe it's a change."

Nie Guanglin did not express his opinion, he knew very well. If Hongxin invests in Thunderstorm Home Appliances, the shares in the hands of each of their shareholders will become more valuable. Companies may also gain better opportunities for growth.

But the most important point is that the company will be separated from his control in the future and brought under the subordinate of Hongxin Group. He is reluctant to be the CEO. Although he is not the leader of any agency, as the top executive of a company, he can also enjoy some of the pleasures brought by his status.

"Old Cai, what do you think?" Nie Guanglin asked Cai Yun.

Cai Yun is actually very happy in his heart, no matter who controls the overall situation, he will be used. And his net worth will rise.

So Cai Yun said politely: "I think I can talk to Hongxin, but the conditions must be studied again."

"I have to think about this matter." Nie Guanglin said, "We will discuss it after the end of the year."

Nie Guanglin was unable to make a decision for a while, and so were the other shareholders. That kind of pure investor naturally hopes that the red letter will enter the game. But if you are in the management of Thunderstorm Home Appliances, you are a little hesitant, afraid that your position will change after Hongxin joins the company, so they are watching and discussing with each other.

Su Xu also told Lu Zixin about the situation, and Lu Zixin smiled and said, "It's not easy. Give them some fire and they will be able to make a decision."
