King of Capital

"Think about it carefully and as soon as possible. The company's cash flow can only support it until August at most."

Xie Jingxing's final reminder, out of good intentions, was more like a threat, and Huang Zhang was speechless in the face of such a situation.

Talking about money, he can retire with 140 billion yuan; talking about the company, if he doesn't get out, he will face the depletion of cash flow and the unsustainable brand operation; talking about personal will, Director Wang stared at him without hiding his gaze.

Grapefruit Capital and Alibaba will only start the formal share repurchase process tomorrow. The plan for state-owned capital to invest and sign a bet agreement with the municipal government still only exists in a folder, and there has been no official announcement on the incident of Meizu’s chairman beating a female employee.

Settlement is relative. If he changes his mind, then everything is likely to change.

Xie Jingxing has reserved the opportunity to sell his shares and leave if the negotiations fail. No one even knows whether Grapefruit Capital is currently negotiating a repurchase with Alibaba while looking for a new buyer willing to take over Meizu shares.

It can not only delay time, but also use the new energy vehicle betting plan to hype up valuations, and also take the ZH city into account.

"Mr. Xie, congratulations on becoming the chairman." Director Wang walked out of Huang Zhang's office and congratulated him with a smile.

Xie Jingxing shook his head: "There is no joy to speak of, it's all pressure."

"Such a sincere and rigorous work attitude is worth learning from. If you have any questions about the handover between you and Mr. Huang, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your hard work."

Director Wang paused for a moment and emphasized, "But I still want to wish us a happy cooperation in advance."

"No problem. I have a meeting to attend. Chen Xi, please send Director Wang off for me."

Xie Jingxing responded with a few words and left on his own. Director Wang watched his back disappear, with a gentle smile on his face, and politely thanked Chen Xi for his hard work.

I heard that a few days ago, when the leaders of my family went to Guangzhou to pick up the plane, because there were too many top leaders at the provincial and municipal levels, Mr. Tang from Jingxing Group walked in front after getting off the plane, and several leaders of my family followed behind like bodyguards.

With the tone so high, it's normal for Young Marshal Xie to be a little arrogant. Otherwise, if he wants to plot against ZH City, he has to think carefully about the consequences.

But if the problem lies with Huang Zhang, who is unwilling to transfer a large amount of equity, it would be natural for the former to withdraw from the market...

"In the final analysis, I hope you can consider the overall situation and not embarrass everyone."

Director Wang suddenly turned around and silently looked towards the office with the chairman's nameplate at the end of the corridor. The silver elevator door slowly opened, reflecting his eyes like cold metal.

"We will have a meeting this afternoon. Each department should prepare to report on their work."

Xie Jingxing returned to his CEO office on the second floor, picked up the intercom to give instructions, and then bent over and immersed himself in the heavy workload on the desk.

In fact, there is no need for Director Wang to urge or test him, he will actively hand over the work to Huang Zhang.

Just as Yang Yan knew that the current operating system was not good, for the sake of his own face and the grudge in his heart, Qi Qi Ai Ai planned to update the version next month.

Xie Jingxing was also in the middle of the situation. He had been personally busy with frontline business for more than half a month. How could he not be moved by the strong opposition from Chen Xinhong, manager of the supply chain operations department?

The factory's suspension of production has put pressure on suppliers, resulting in temporary large losses, but subsequent risks are controllable. This is the way to go, step by step.

However, he needed to get each newly assembled machine off the assembly line, and the company's cash flow pressure was increasing every minute, so Huang Zhang didn't have enough time to consider.

These things cannot be told to others. If the MX6 fails to be launched in the future, the losses will be huge. Even the best strategic consulting companies in the world will not understand why such an aggressive gamble was taken, even if they analyze it in hindsight.

It can only be defined as another classic example of stupidity in the history of business.

Assuming that Huang Zhang cashes out and Xie Jingxing takes over Meizu, this can be regarded as a negative business textbook written into university business management courses.

Knowing that the brand had huge negative risks, they forcibly took over and controlled Meizu. Subsequently, the company collapsed due to the failure of its new model sales - a most idiotic person was born.

Xie Jingxing didn't want to include his name in those famous and incomprehensible cases of huge losses, so he didn't care what Huang Zhang and Director Wang thought.

The wonderful capital operation is built on the real economy, and at this moment, doing a good job in Meizu's business is the top priority.

Moreover, the overall offer of the gambling agreement he reached with ZH City was not favorable.

七折地皮原价10亿左右、20亿低息贷款、280亿估值投资入股10%，换取一家总营收额1500亿、对当地工厂投资50亿元、另包括30亿元规模产业引导基金的硬科技制造巨头公司。

The one who is chasing after others is not a good deal. If Xie Jingxing wants Meizu, he should pay the cost.

Similarly, the completion and production of new energy vehicle factories within five years is the term of office of one group of people, and the total revenue of no less than 2022 billion yuan from 1500 is the term of office of another group of people.

No one is willing to do good things for the successor. Everyone is ready to treat Meizu as a meal. How to divide this huge piece of fat pork has been preliminarily decided!
Xie Jingxing just needs to concentrate on his work and wait for the results. Many people are a thousand times more anxious than him.

…………

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the month.

On the evening of June 6, Vivo released the X30, the latest model of the 'X' series, at the China Film Directors Center in Beijing. It features front fingerprint unlocking, ultra-narrow bezels, 7 megapixels, and is priced at 1600 yuan. It is positioned as a stylish design with camera beauty functions, directly targeting the core product lines of Meizu and Xiaomi, one of which is mired in scandals and has no prospect of launching a new product, while the other's new model last year was delayed until February this year.

Vivo was able to strike hard and invited the Korean male star Song Zhongji, who became popular again with "Descendants of the Sun", to sweep the entire Internet and was the talk of the town on the night of the press conference.

At the same time, Meizu's official Weibo account released a low-key statement with an official seal: Following a resolution of the company's shareholders meeting, the former chairman Huang Zhang was removed from all positions in the company from today onwards, and the company's CEO Xie Jingxing will concurrently serve as chairman.

Alibaba and Zhuhai local law enforcement agencies successively issued similar statements through official WeChat accounts, public accounts and other channels. Since then, the facts of the fight and injury in the Meizu conference room have come to an end.

Public opinion is still flying in the air...

[If I had known this would happen, I would have chosen to do it in the first place! If I had been willing to give up my shares in the first place, things wouldn't have turned out like this, and there wouldn't be a Xiaomi today. Now I'm saying I'm apologizing and resigning, but that's not sincere, right? ]

At two o'clock in the morning, Huang Zhang reposted the official Weibo statement with an apology letter attached, and the number of likes on the comment quickly topped the hot comment list.

[The story of villains in power is made up. If I have a choice, I don’t want to be a major shareholder. It’s too tiring. ]

【come on. 】

【I hope Meizu can keep going. 】

[But if you want to make the ideal phone in your mind and make the best phone for your fans, you must always be the majority shareholder. You can't hand over this industry to people you despise! ]

The comments popped up one after another, and Huang Zhang never replied again. Amid the clamor of good and bad voices, the stars moved, and the long night was about to end and dawn would break.

The next morning, there were new developments in the international situation. The judgment document that we did not accept was just a piece of waste paper!
Soon after the military exercise was announced, green trucks made a rare appearance on television, carrying logs into the deep mountains and forests, ready to go.

The U.S. military's double aircraft carrier fleet activated information confidentiality regulations and disappeared without a trace on the sea. The American master ran away and the vassal army panicked, and all kinds of news flooded the Internet.

Whether it is Vivo and Song Joong-ki or Meizu and Huang Zhang, all traces have been gently wiped out, as if they had never appeared.

Although they knew they should unite against a common enemy, Bai Yongxiang and other senior executives were tacitly glad that the crisis public relations ended in this way.

Director Wang was even more secretly excited, and ran to Huang Zhang's home with joy to discuss the equity change in a low-key manner.

The betting agreement of Meizu Auto has not been finalized yet. If the news spreads everywhere, not to mention Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen jumping out to compete for Xie Jingxing, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Chengdu and Wuxi have all rushed to buy it like crazy in recent years.

Old Huang, please bear with us for a while longer. We will consider the overall situation and do something for the people of our hometown!

Beijing, noon time.

Liu Qing walked into the office with a cup of coffee in his hand, looking normal. He turned on his computer and logged into the CCTV website while saying, "TV, bring me a TV."

The assistant deftly pushed the portable TV in and tuned to various CCTV channels. Some were replaying cheesy costume idol dramas and old movies, but the most important one was playing the cartoon "Boonie Bears".

"Uh, Ms. Liu, people from the Middle East are coming soon." She stood next to the TV and waited for a while before reminding.

"Tell Mr. Yan that I have something urgent to do, and he can just go and see me."

Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Rearrange your schedule. I'll be free this afternoon. I'll call you if I have anything else."

"Okay, Mr. Liu." The assistant left the office without knowing what was going on.

The company breathed a sigh of relief after acquiring Uber China in March. With $40 billion in equity financing and $20 billion in bond financing in hand, it had nowhere to put its business, so it put the strategy of expanding its overseas business on the agenda.

At the beginning, Xie Shaoshuai helped formulate a plan to compete with Uber around the world and invested in Southeast Asia's Grab as well as local star online ride-hailing companies in Europe, India and other countries.

Based on the foundation of this "Anti-Uber Alliance", we have contacted local star projects in the Middle East and planned to invest, which can be regarded as complying with the country's call for the Belt and Road Initiative.

Since March, Mr. Yan has not taken sides and has mastered in-depth government public relations resources. Therefore, since he became a company director, he has basically secured the third position in the management.

This strategic investment was originally scheduled to be jointly managed by him and General Manager Liu, so the assistant was speculating on what General Manager Liu's sudden change of mind meant.

In the other office, Liu Qing was also full of hesitation.

As far as she knew, the army had recruited a large number of technical veterans, and from the details she could draw the conclusion that they were really serious about it.

"Go find out where Xie Jingxing is. Go find out first. Do you understand what I mean?"

The show "Boonie Bears" was broadcast on CCTV-1 for the whole afternoon. Liu Qing supported her arm and put her hand on her forehead to send her assistant away, recalling word by word the theory of international confrontation that Xie Jingxing had told her that day.

A giant bear appears, and a faint haze rises in my heart.

"Old Cheng, let's have a small meeting tomorrow. I'll go to your office tomorrow to see how things go." She made up her mind and held the phone tightly. (End of this chapter)
