Chapter 89 - 89 Terrible Price to Pay
89 Terrible Price to Pay
Most of the company representatives felt that talking to Zhao Na was a waste of time and energy, so they left after leaving behind their contact information.
However, there were still two companies that stayed behind.
The representatives of Huawei and Heyme followed Zhao Na into the conference room.
“I’m Wei Dajin, Executive Vice President of Huawei. Nice to meet you, Director Zhao.” Wei Dajin was tall and well built. He had a square face, and although he was already 50 years old, he looked especially energetic. He had the air of a career soldier.
“I’m Wang Qian, CEO of Heyme Corporation. Nice to meet you, Director Zhao.” Wang Qian’s hair was white, but his eyes were sharp and his face was elegant. He was wearing a gray suit and had an endearing demeanor.
“Welcome, seniors!” Zhao Na maintained a professional smile on her face.
“Seniors, do you think we should talk one to one or altogether?” After glancing at the two of them, Zhao Na asked for their opinions upfront.
“Let’s talk together!”
“Let’s talk together!”
Wei Dajin and Wang Qian looked at each other and smiled.
“Alright, then please tell me your purpose first, President Wei.” Zhao Na opened her notebook.
“Huawei would like to acquire the Divine Dragon Software Company!” Wei Dajin said calmly.
“The acquisition would include two assets, the Divine Dragon Optimization App and the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software.”
“Our initial offer is three billion yuan!” Wei Dajin’s tone was firm when he quoted the astronomical figure.
“Our Chairman, Wang Renfei, also has a message for your boss, Li Chengqian. The Chairman said that as long as your boss, Li Chengqian, is willing to work in Huawei, he will be made Huawei’s CEO in two years. Huawei will give him 3% dividend-paying shares and an annual salary of 80 million yuan! As long as Li Chengqian is in Huawei, this salary will only increase and will never decrease.”
Of course, if Li Chengqian agrees to join Huawei, he would definitely have to sign a rigorous agreement. He would only be given the shares and the dividends after he met certain conditions.
Huawei was famous for not keeping dead wood.
If Li Chengqian didn’t produce any results after joining Huawei, he would be booted out and he would have to pay a huge compensation.
“Huawei’s net profit last year was 60 billion yuan. Based on 3% dividend, Li Chengqian could stand to earn 1.8 billion yuan a year.”
After Wei Dajin finished speaking, he smiled at Wang Qian, CEO of Heyme Corporation.
Then, his gaze landed on Zhao Na.
Zhao Na was stunned from the moment Wei Dajin spoke. However, she kept a poker face as she didn’t want the other party to read her mind.
Three billion yuan to buy the Divine Dragon Software Company.
This was an astronomical number.
Further, if Li Chengqian went to work at Huawei, in two years, he would become the CEO of a company with a market value of one trillion yuan. Li Chengqian would be 19 years old then. Moreover, this was a Fortune 500 company.
Becoming the CEO of a Fortune 500 company at the age of 19?
These words made Zhao Na feel like she was in a dream.
In addition, 1.8 billion yuan of dividend a year?
What kind of concept was this?
Zhao Na couldn’t even begin to imagine what this was like!
“Li Chengqian is actually so capable!”
“Asking me, a minion character with an annual salary of 150,000 yuan, to discuss a three billion yuan business deal, Li Chengqian really thinks highly of me.”
“I’ll get Li Chengqian to give me a raise later. The company is worth three billion yuan. I’m also considered a senior manager in the company. If he only pays us that miserable salary, he would be like a mercenary feudal lord.” Zhao Na recorded every word Wei Dajin said in her notebook.
“President Wei, I’ll report your message to my boss verbatim. I’ll inform you as soon as there’s news,” Zhao Na pretended to be calm and replied.
After hearing Wei Dajin’s offer, Wang Qian became solemn.
Wei Dajin’s offer was simply too attractive!
“President Wei, your company is indeed worthy of being one of the top 500 companies in the world. Your company’s strength is really amazing.” Wang Qian flattered. Huawei was a well established technology company and had been a Fortune 500 company for ten years running.
Huawei was also more than three times larger than the Heyme Corporation.
“President Wang, you’re too humble. Heyme Corporation’s development is also very impressive. In just 10 years, your company has achieved a market value of 200 billion yuan. It’s really impressive,” Wei Dajin said politely.
“Director Zhao, Heyme Company doesn’t have pockets as deep as Huawei’s.” Wang Qian smiled and turned to Zhao Na. He wasn’t planning to hide anything.
“We’re willing to pay 2.5 billion yuan to buy out the Divine Dragon Optimization App, one billion yuan in cash, and 1.5 billion yuan worth of Heyme Corporation’s shares.” Wang Qian also quoted an astronomical price.
“In addition, our Chairman Lei is especially interested in Mr. Li Chengqian.”
“He asked me to pass a message to Mr. Li Chengqian. As long as Mr. Li Chengqian is willing to work at Heyme Corporation and become Mr. Lei’s partner, he is willing to give Mr. Li Chengqian 5% of Heyme Corporation’s non-diluting shares.”
“The current market value of Heyme Corporation is 300 billion yuan, 5% shares is equivalent to 15 billion yuan. The market value of Heyme Corporation is still rising. In a few years, this 5% shares might be worth 50 billion yuan.” Wang Qian had a smile on his face as he spoke, the type of smile that puts people at ease.
Zhao Na was extremely shocked. She suppressed her shock and recorded what Wang Qian said.
“Is this for real? As long as Li Chengqian goes to Heyme Corporation, he will receive 15 billion shares for free!” Zhao Na’s heart was filled with disbelief. She even wondered if Chairman Lei of Heyme Corporation was being stupid. Otherwise, why would he give Li Chengqian shares for free?
“President Wei, we’re a small company. Although a small company is not as strong as a big company, we have an advantage, which is flexibility.” After Wang Qian finished speaking, he turned to look at Wei Dajin.
Huawei is an MNC and a Fortune 500 company. Its non-diluting shares were extremely rare. It was impossible for it to offer non-diluting shares like Heyme Corporation.
Heimi Corporation had only been established for ten years, and Chairman Lei had absolute control over the company. Although it was difficult, he could bite the bullet and part with 5% of the shares.
“President Wang, I remember there was a company called Le something. I can’t remember its full name. It was valued at 195.4 billion yuan last year. It was in the limelight for a while and was similar to Heyme Corporation. After the market turbulence at the beginning of this year, it went bankrupt,” Wei Dajin replied with a smile, as if they were just chit chatting.
“Sometimes, the shares of small companies seem to be worth a lot of money, but it’s also possible that they can become worthless overnight. Don’t you think so?” His tone was gentle, like old friends greeting each other, but there was already hostility in his gentle tone.
Under Zhao Na’s gaze, the two of them chatted casually with smiles on their faces. However, every sentence was aimed to attack.
“President Wang, that’s enough. Let’s not argue anymore lest Director Zhao laugh at us.” Wei Dajin changed the topic.
“Seniors, you must be joking!” Zhao Na replied politely before continuing, “I’ll organize what the two of you have said and update my boss.”
“I’ll update you immediately once there is any news.”
“Tianyi City actually has some good delicacies. I’ll get someone to bring the two of you to try.” After Zhao Na finished speaking, she raised her voice a little, “Xiaoli, come in…”
“Oh my god!” As soon as Wei Dajin and WAng Qian left, Zhao Na returned to her office. After closing the door, she could no longer maintain her composure. Her face was quivering from the shock.
She took out her phone and immediately called Li Chengqian.
She wanted to tell this shocking news to Li Chengqian.
“The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later…”
Hearing the notification from the phone, Zhao Na was speechless. She opened WeChat and sent the prices quoted by Huawei and Heyme.
In the end, she couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart, so she added, “Boss, you’re rich!”
“You started from scratch at 17 years old and have hundreds of millions of assets! You’re amazing!”
“Also, I want a pay raise. You have to increase my salary!”
“Also, except for Huawei and Heyme, no one from the other companies could be bothered to talk to me. They looked down on me and didn’t believe I could make any decisions.”
“They all insisted that they would only reveal their intentions when they get to speak to you personally. When do you have time to meet them?”
