Chapter 3676 The Stock Price Disturbance of Chundu Foods

As expected, Green Garden Group's stock price began to decline after the stock market opened these past few days. Since the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the stock price has fallen by 8%, and at its lowest point, it fell by more than 11%. Clearly, the rift between Zhao Chang'an and Shan Qiang over Rose Group has begun to affect investors' confidence in Green Garden Group.

Yan You and Mai Fei have already submitted their resignation applications to the company. In the real estate sales industry, if a salesperson really doesn't want to continue, the company usually won't force them to stay.

Unless they're so angry they want to break off relations, they'd rather keep their partner at the company on their basic salary and wait until the contract expires.

Green Garden has not yet approved it, but no senior management has contacted them to persuade them or anything.

Yan You and Mai Fei were originally employees poached by Zhao Chang'an. Now that Zhao Chang'an and Shan Qiang have a falling out, it's perfectly normal for them to resign.

There were some things Zhao Chang'an couldn't say too clearly to the two women. There was no point in trying to prevent thieves in the first place, especially with Mu Yongjin, that shameless old fox.

If money and power can't win over the two women, then a cup of water or a cup of wine—as long as they frequently work together and attend banquets—there will always be times when they are careless.

If this old fox really succeeds, with his methods and power, he could easily force Yan You and Mai Fei to admit their mistake with tears in their eyes.

It's either a case of "the fish dies and the net breaks," but in reality, the fish are dead while the net remains strong and unbreakable.

To Zhao Chang'an's surprise, Nan Qiuli refused his offer. This career-driven woman was certainly not as beautiful as Yan You, nor as distinctive as Mai Fei, but her capable and slender appearance was quite remarkable.

What Zhao Chang'an valued even more was her professional competence. In terms of emotional intelligence, such as reading people's expressions and speaking appropriately, she was better than Yan Youmai and Fei. However, since she had refused, he let it go.

In Zhao Chang'an's view, there are countless talented people in this world, each with their own destiny. He should give up the desire to help others and respect each person's choices.

Anyway, Zhao Chang'an has too many women, and there will be many more beautiful women waiting for him to favor in the future. Nan Qiuli was only considered acceptable three years ago when there were fewer women and less experience. Since she hasn't been able to have her after so long, then it's not Zhao Chang'an's fault.

Rather, Nan Qiuli genuinely didn't want him to eat it.

Having figured all this out, Zhao Chang'an felt relieved and stopped paying attention to the matter and the woman.

In Luoyi, OneNan's actions there sparked various rumors. Originally, Zhao Chang'an wanted to apply to the China Securities Regulatory Commission for a "major change in the equity of major shareholders of Chundu Foods" to suspend the trading of its tradable shares.

However, before OneNano's application could be submitted, Chundu Foods had already seen its stock price rise to the daily limit for five consecutive trading days. Moreover, many websites and irresponsible newspapers were already making emphatical claims that OneNano was going to take control of Chundu Foods.

This situation led Wen Ye to decide to temporarily suspend the application and instead send a special negotiation team to negotiate with Chundu Group, the parent company of Chundu Foods.

Originally, Zhao Chang'an didn't mind some people with close interests in this area quietly accumulating shares in advance and making a considerable amount of money. However, he didn't know which big mouth did this. Now, if Yi Nanmi wants to acquire a controlling stake in Chundu Foods at a reasonable price, it will have to spend at least nearly 100 million yuan more. Moreover, when the trading of circulating shares is actually suspended, who knows how much the market will surge.

So, both Zhao Chang'an and Wen Ye were a bit confused about this listed company at this point.

This is because some people are treating a nanometer like a pig to be slaughtered; their greed makes them not mind ripping off a nanometer.

Without these five consecutive days of limit-up trading, even if these people had accumulated shares in advance, and the stock price had surged when the China Securities Regulatory Commission suspended trading and then reopened, the transfer price of non-tradable shares would have been significantly different. Therefore, the overall profit they made would not have been so outrageous.

Zhao Chang'an and Wen Ye had a premonition that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this equity transfer negotiation would fall through. They would then see if these people could escape beforehand.

When the negotiation team between Nanmi Zheng City and Chundu Group was established, the negotiation team between Wen Ye and Luanchuan Molybdenum Industry was also established at the same time. As for the olive branch extended by Gu Dacong, what Zhao Chang'an really wanted was Luanchuan Molybdenum Industry. Chundu Foods was more of a condition that Gu Dacong wanted to bind them together.

The actions of these people have given OneNan a reason to refuse.

Zhao Chang'an doesn't want to do much in the food processing industry, at least not right now, because it's really difficult.

The business battle between Chundu Foods and Shuanghui back then can be said to be a classic example, which also clearly exposed the shortsightedness and ignorance of Chundu Group, which was ruthlessly crippled.

If OneNano wants to revive the former glory of Chundu Foods, the first obstacle will be Shuanghui Group, and a fierce business war will definitely break out.

After all, there can't be two tigers in one mountain.

Zhao Chang'an could foresee that, on the one hand, a nanometer would require a huge investment of real money, possibly hundreds of millions or even more, and on the other hand, he had to be prepared for at least several years of no profit or even losses.

Both companies are located in central provinces, and this kind of internal strife is easily labeled as short-sighted and infighting.

This is not a scene that Zhao Chang'an wanted to see.

-

Subo and his group took a plane from Mingzhu, flying along the route through Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Balkans. Wang Yu had contacted Xiao Yangming before coming, so when Zhao Chang'an picked them up at the airport, Xiao Yangming also rushed over from Eindhoven.

Before he arrived, he also heard that Nano North America had sent a letter to the company expressing its desire to participate in the ASML 157nm extreme ultraviolet lithography machine R&D project and to purchase the PAS5500 lithography machine.

Xiao Yangming wasn't surprised that North America wanted to buy the PAS5500, because with RIM's rise, it was quite normal for them to design their own chips and even build their own chip manufacturing plants.

Nokia and Motorola, two world-class mobile phone companies, both have their own chip manufacturing plants.

Ericsson, ranked third, suffered a major loss because it did not have its own chip factory and outsourced chip manufacturing to Siemens. As a result, a fire at the Siemens chip factory caused a large number of mobile phones to lack sufficient chips.

Later, they even outsourced all of their mobile phone manufacturing to Flextronics, and then took out half of their shares to form a joint venture with Sony. It seemed that they were about to be overtaken by Samsung and squeezed out of the top three.

However, Xiao Yangming felt that Zhao Chang'an's insistence on investing in the 157nm extreme ultraviolet lithography machine R&D project despite his disregard for advice made him think that his junior was really young and impetuous, and did not know how to restrain himself or keep a low profile after achieving success at a young age.

It's estimated that they'll really suffer a significant loss in ASML's 157nm extreme ultraviolet lithography machine development project this time.

The fact that even Intel was only willing to invest $200 million as a trial demonstrates how pessimistic they are about R&D projects.

In reality, as an expert, Xiao Yangming conservatively estimates that the actual research and development of this project would cost at least three to four billion US dollars.

No one can guarantee with absolute certainty that a 157nm extreme ultraviolet lithography machine will definitely be developed in this direction.
