Chapter 225 I'm sorry

Zhou Liwen knows the dilemma of Li, but Zhou Liwen does not want to take over this hot potato for him as Li wants. Even if the other party clearly asks him to open the conditions, what conditions can Zhou Liwen offer? TCL Group was listed in Xiangjiang in 1999 and raised 1.05 billion yuan in funds that year. The total assets of the entire group are currently nearly 3 billion. From this point of view, the gap of only a few hundred million does not seem to pose too much threat to Li. But the accounts in the business are not calculated like this. You must know that in the past two years, T

CL Group has developed rapidly, starting from the initial production of telephones to other electronic fields. It now has its own multimedia company, mainly producing ace TVs and developing the latest color TV technology. Last year, the group established branches in Russia, Vietnam and other places. A series of expansions have exhausted most of its cash flow. This time the failure of the new mobile phone was a heavy blow, not only failed in a project that was thought to be a big success, but even caused a serious crisis in its entire brand due to quality problems.

A thousand-mile dike collapses in an ant hole. This is what it means. Just like the famous Lehman Brothers in later generations, this investment bank, built in 1850, was named the best investment bank in Business Week in 2000, and its overall research strength ranks first in the ranking of "Institutional Investors". But this is the giant, one of the world's four major investment banks, collapsed in 2008 due to the subprime mortgage crisis, and its debt was as high as US$613 billion.

The shopping mall is in crisis step by step, and an inadvertent business empire will collapse. Just like the Titanic hitting an iceberg, no matter how hard it works, it will never save its tragic fate of sinking to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, in this case, the best measure that many people often take is to stay away from this big ship that is about to sink as soon as possible, so as not to be buried with the vortex.

Cai Mingjie is a successful businessman and a visionary and decisive entrepreneur. Therefore, he immediately responded in the first stage when the quality problems of the new mobile phone occurred. On the one hand, he cleared his involvement with the TCL Group's mobile phone quality and solved his worries. On the other hand, he took the decision to escape as soon as possible, and even sprinkled salt on the other party's wounds at this time to take this opportunity to save his own interests to the greatest extent.

Cai Mingjie's approach seems to be inconsistent with human nature, but from a business perspective, it is the most perfect response. They are just cooperative relationships, and MediaTek does not need to take risks with each other. As for personal relationships, everything can be put aside in terms of big interests.

Although Zhou Liwen is not as stern as Cai Mingjie, he can see clearly with Cai Mingjie. At this time, taking over the other party’s troubles will not be of any benefit to Zhou Liwen. Even if Director Li asks him to issue a condition, Zhou Liwen can’t think of any conditions that can impress him unless...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I can't convince myself and let you down." Zhou Liwen finally said such words in a state of treacherous and expectant eyes. After hearing this, Li Dong was stunned and his eyes suddenly lost its original brilliance.

"How is this...how is this...how is it possible..." Dong Li murmured to himself, and suddenly grabbed Zhou Liwen's hand and begged: "Brother Zhou, as long as you propose the conditions, I can agree to any conditions! Please help me, even if I have pity for me!"

He pulled his hands lightly, but he didn't expect that Mr. Li was too tight to catch him. Zhou Liwen didn't pull him away. He frowned and said, "To be honest, if you follow your previous suggestions, I don't think we need to talk again, because I will never take this risk to push my company into an unpredictable situation. Besides, you have been in the business world for decades, business friends, and even local relationships and connections are better than me. If it's just because of capital reasons, I think you should still think of a way to borrow money and use a complete recall to protect the brand, so as to make a comeback!"

Li Dong shook his head and sighed: "Brother Zhou, do you think I didn't do this? Everyone pushed me. Now that the group has had such a big deal, Xiangjiang's stock has fallen for several days, and hundreds of millions of funds have been evaporated. Let me tell you the truth. The group has received a notice from Xiangjiang. If you can't come up with a solution, the stock will be suspended. As for the lending work, it is because of these reasons that you can't borrow money at all. There is also the bastard Cai Mingjie who took advantage of the situation to let me continue to perform the contract, otherwise you will have to compensate for a high penalty for liquidated damages. You said, what else can I do at this time!"

"But what can you do to find me?"

"No! Brother Zhou, of course you have a way! Now you can save me! Save my group!" Dong Li said urgently: "You know, there are only two companies in China that issue mobile phone licenses and licenses. And from the current situation, even if I recall all problematic mobile phones, I can no longer gain consumer confidence after solving the quality problem, so I can only rely on you to help me."

Zhou Liwen was amused and crying. Of course he understood this truth, but as he said just now, he accompanied Mr. Li on this big ship that was about to sink. Another important reason is MediaTek. If he helped, wouldn’t it mean that MediaTek would be helped in disguise? Relying on the chip system orders of TCL Group, MediaTek will become stronger. At what time, how can Zhou Liwen compete with the other party? You must know that MediaTek’s Cai Mingjie is not an ordinary person. Until today, Zhou Liwen is still careful to guard against the counterattack of this real opponent.

Seeing Zhou Liwen still not nodding, Mr. Li almost felt desperate. He knew very well that as long as he walked out of this room, no one knew what the future ahead would be, and there was even a great possibility that his life would be completely ruined.

"As long as Brother Zhou can help, I am willing to cooperate by changing stocks!"

In the end, Li Dongxin played his last trump card like a knife. Zhou Liwen was stunned when he heard this sentence. Change stocks? What stocks should he exchange? Is Li Dongyi planning to use shares to obtain the conditions for his cooperation?

Under Zhou Liwen's inquiry, Director Li proposed to exchange 20% of the shares of TCL Group for the same equity of Zhou Liwen ORZ Mobile to gain the strategic comprehensive cooperation status of both parties and make Zhou Liwen the vice chairman of TCL Group. Judging from the proportion of shares, it is equivalent to Director Li taking out more than 600 million shares worth of group shares for stock exchange. It seems that Zhou Liwen has taken a big advantage in value, but Zhou Liwen laughed after hearing this and refused the request without thinking.

It's just a joke. A company whose stock price plummeted and is facing suspension. Can the 20% stake in a company whose market consumers have lost confidence be exchanged for a company that is thriving and has a trend of becoming the leader of the domestic mobile phone industry? When has it been? This Chairman Li is still planning with him. Besides, what's the use of him taking this 20% stake? Is it just to occupy a position in the other party's board of directors and be a vice chairman? But he has to bear all subsequent risks for the other party? Zhou Liwen is not a fool, can he do this?

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Zhou Liwen shook his head straightforwardly.

"22% of the shares! How about 22%! I'll give in and just change your 18% of the shares! How about Brother Zhou?" Dong Li said unwillingly.

Zhou Liwen continued to shake her head.

Mr. Li thought for a while and said, "24%! I am willing to pay 24% of the shares to only exchange for 16% of your shares. Brother Zhou, this is my greatest sincerity!"

"Haha, Mr. Li, let alone this ratio, I would not be able to do this even if it is higher. Of course, unless you are willing to hand over the controlling rights to me, maybe I will consider it." At this point, Zhou Liwen could no longer raise any spirit and continued to talk to the other party, so he simply put forward a request that Mr. Li could not accept at all.

Sure enough, when Zhou Liwen said this, Dong Li's face changed drastically and he was completely in a bad mood.

TCL Group is listed in Xiangjiang, and its outstanding shares account for 18% of the total share capital, which means that the remaining 82% is in the hands of each shareholder. As the founder of the company, Chairman Li owns 75% of the shares that he absolutely holds. Even if he gives Zhou Liwen 24% in the form of a share exchange, he still has 51% of the controlling stake. But now, Zhou Liwen takes his controlling stake in one bite, which is equivalent to driving him off the throne of the chairman, which is absolutely unacceptable to Chairman Li. He cannot watch the company he built himself into something from someone else's, just like a raised child who becomes someone else's child overnight, which is equivalent to killing him!

Releasing his tightly held hands, Dong Li stood up without saying a word, and walked towards the door heavily under Zhou Liwen's gaze. After a while, with a light sound, the door opened and closed again. Dong Li's figure finally disappeared from Zhou Liwen's sight.

"Why……."

For some reason, at this moment, Zhou Liwen felt a sadness of the hero's ending. The moment when Dong Li stepped out of the door, there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting, "Forget it, help him! It's not easy for him!" But there was also another voice refuting "What are you helping! He got to this point because of his own fault! This is the case in the mall, either you die or I live! His heart is soft-hearted and his today is your tomorrow!"

After being so entangled, Zhou Liwen finally didn't call him and watched him leave. Although he knew that he had made the right choice in the end, Zhou Liwen felt very uncomfortable today. He felt a sense of guilt, even more disappointment and irritability.

"I'm sorry, Brother Li..." Zhou Liwen said in a voice that he could only hear. He lit a cigarette and sat quietly on the sofa without thinking about moving. It took him a long time before he got up and left.
