Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 305 The other party withdrew a "reservation"

In fact, Douyin Group provides a complete tour route for general visitors, including development history, corporate culture, product experience, interactive Q&A, creative installations, etc.

But that is outward. When the person visiting becomes Zhou Wang, it is obviously not possible to take this route.

As the acquirer, is it possible that Zhou Wang doesn't know about these things of Douyin Group?

This is basically impossible.

...Although the truth is, Zhou Wang really doesn't understand it very well.

He estimated that Wang Ruxi knew more than he did, but he couldn't ask Wang Ruxi, as that would make him look stupid... After all, the "acquisition order" should have been issued to him by the system in his own name.

In short, the process of Jin Lu and Zhang Xuan accompanying Zhou Wang on the tour was actually very boring.

Every time he went to a department, they preferred to speak with internal data and reports, or in other words, from their perspective, Zhou Wang should want to see these things more.

Of course Zhou Wang couldn't say that he didn't like it. Fortunately, Jiang Qingkui was by his side. She listened much more attentively than Zhou Wang, and even recorded some parts with a recorder. Zhou Wang could then let his mind wander and focus on the mental outlook of the female employees inside...

The only thing that really interested Zhou Wang was when he visited the "Audit Department".

Of course, Zhou Wang was not interested in the reviewers, but in the content that was removed by them...

However, Zhou Wang couldn't openly ask to see the database, so he could only stay in this department for a while longer to experience the hard work of the auditors.

"…That's not right. I don't think there's anything wrong with this dance video. It's just the 'lights off dance' that was popular a while ago. Why did you delete it?"

Zhou Wang, who was standing behind a certain auditor at this moment, couldn't help but speak out.

The auditor who was concentrating on staring at the computer screen was stunned. He turned around and was stunned when he saw so many big guys appearing behind him. He was about to stand up but was stopped by the department head.

"Xiao Zhou, just answer Mr. Zhou's questions. You don't need to stand up."

The department head smiled at him with an unprecedented friendly smile.

"Oh, oh... the blogger in this video didn't wear any underwear when turning off the lights..."

The young man from the same family as Zhou Wang sat back and answered honestly.

"Hmm?" Zhou Wang asked suspiciously, "How can you tell? There's only the outline of a shadow, right?"

So the guy called up the video again, zoomed in on the picture, pointed at a tiny detail and explained: "Mr. Zhou, look, there is a very obvious bulge here..."

Zhou Wang took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but secretly sighed, "This is awesome! This reviewer only watched the video for one second before directly removing it from the shelves. What kind of sharp eyes are these...

He also discussed with the young man the details of the review of several videos that were taken down, until Jiang Qingkui behind him couldn't bear to watch it anymore and coughed lightly to remind Zhou Wang. Only then did Zhou Wang reluctantly end his visit to the review department.

……

"This building was the earliest registered address of the company before it was renamed. In fact, many business sectors have now moved outward, and the focus of some businesses has also shifted to Shanghai. So I suggest that if you have time, Mr. Zhou, you should go to Shanghai again. Perhaps you can have a deeper understanding of the group's internal operating system..."

After more than an hour's tour, they arrived at the spacious and bright reception room on the sixth floor, and Jin Lu smiled and said something to Zhou Wang again.

"I heard that the headquarters building in Shanghai cost 80 billion to build?"

Zhou Wang nodded and smiled, "That's something I have to go for."

"It's not that exaggerated. Mr. Zhou also knows that some data is needed for external publicity, but the Magic City Building is indeed very expensive, and the difference with the publicity data is not big. The internal structure is still very unique..."

Secretary Zhang Xuan explained with a smile.

After sitting and chatting for a while, Zhou Wang roughly figured out Jin Lu and Zhang Xuan's positions in the company.

Jin Lu is actually a representative of the capital behind Douyin who is stationed on the board of directors. She herself has no equity, but because she also serves in the company's management, she has become an executive director with a decisive position.

As for Zhang Xuan, he is the board secretary appointed by the founder, so although his duty is to serve the board of directors, he also has a special status.

Most of the senior executives of other companies are usually not at the headquarters all year round. After all, in addition to Beijing, Douyin has built group buildings in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places. Given the busy business of Douyin, most of the management are either on a business trip or on the way to a business trip.

"Mr. Zhou, they should have packed up by now, how about I take you to see your office?"

Jin Lu looked at her watch at this time, suddenly stood up and said with a smile.

Zhou Wang was a little surprised, while the secretary Zhang Xuan beside him frowned slightly.

However, Zhou Wang quickly stood up with a smile and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Director Jin to lead the way."

……

The office that Jin Lu prepared for Zhou Wang was on the sixth floor of the building, with a large floor-to-ceiling window facing the street on one side. Although the area was far smaller than Zhou Wang's office in Wuyou Media, the stylish decoration and the carefully designed layout gave Zhou Wang the same impression as that office.

(Office reference picture)

"In fact, Director Jin, there's really no need to go through so much trouble. I'm afraid I only have a limited amount of time to work here..."

"I know that the industries that Mr. Zhou has invested in are not focused on Beidu, but having an office like this would be convenient for Mr. Zhou to have a place to work when he needs to."

Facing Zhou Wang's refusal, Jin Lu just smiled and said, "It's a good thing it's in Beidu. After the business focus has been gradually shifted, there are many vacant executive offices here. If it was in Shanghai or Guangzhou, even if Mr. Zhou wanted an office, I might not be able to arrange it for him..."

Seeing Jin Lu's sincere words, Zhou Wang did not continue to refuse. After thanking her, Jin Lu said, "Then Mr. Zhou, you should take a rest first. Some shareholder representatives have not arrived yet. I will ask my assistant to notify you later. See you in the conference room then."

The addition of new shareholders means changes to the shareholder register and the company's articles of association, which requires the convening of an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to complete all procedures, so Jin Lu said this.

……

After the group left Zhou Wang's new office, Qi Lingtong saw that Zhang Xuan and Jin Lu had something to say, so he consciously moved away. When only Jin Lu and Zhang Xuan were left in the corridor, Zhang Xuan, who had been silent in the office, finally spoke:

"Director Jin, is this necessary? You should know that this does not comply with the provisions of the Company Law. Mr. Zhou does not hold any position in the group. In theory, we do not need to provide him with an office space..."

“There are no absolutes.”

Jin Lu smiled and said, "How do you know that Mr. Zhou will not work in the group in the future?"

"I admit that it is very impressive for individual shareholders to enter the market through Yunshang Trust when the group has grown stronger today, but 0.1% of the shares is far from enough to have any say, right?" Zhang Xuan frowned and asked, "Director Jin, where did you come to this conclusion?"

Zhang Xuan really couldn't understand why Jin Lu seemed a little too enthusiastic towards Zhou Wang. In fact, with Jin Lu's status and position, Zhou Wang didn't need to show up for his visit today. Didn't he see that the other members of the board of directors didn't show up?
Although everyone was busy, they were not so busy that they did not have time to meet. In essence, Zhou Wang was unable to attract the attention of other board members at the moment...

As the secretary of the board of directors, Zhang Xuan was required to communicate with the company's shareholders on behalf of the board of directors, so showing up was inevitable. However, Jin Lu actually took the initiative to bring up this matter, which surprised Zhang Xuan.

Let's talk about the office again. If we really need to follow strict legal regulations, shareholders can enjoy the right to profit and the right to know, but the company, as an independent legal person, has independent property rights, including office space.

In other words, let alone an office, if we really want to be picky, Zhou Wang can’t even have a workstation…

Because you were not there that night, you did not see that scene.

That’s Wang Ruxi!
Jin Lu muttered to herself, but it was hard to say it out loud. After all, she was not sure what the relationship was between Wang Ruxi, who was a big shot in the top capital circle, and Zhou Wang. So she could only say vaguely:

"Secretary Zhang, no matter what, just trust me. There's no need to argue with President Zhou over such a small matter..."

"I'm sorry, Director Jin, my duty is to be responsible to the entire board of directors. I personally reserve my opinion on your unauthorized allocation of an office to Mr. Zhou, and I will report it to the other directors later."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, appearing to be very businesslike.

Jin Lu couldn't help but frown, and when she was about to say something else, her cell phone rang.

Jin Lu glanced at the caller ID and was startled. Then he quickly walked to the side and answered the phone respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Lu..."

Zhang Xuan on the side was also quite surprised. The "Mr. Lu" mentioned by Jin Lu was the manager of a Hong Kong-funded consortium. This Hong Kong-funded consortium was one of the major shareholders behind the Douyin Group. Jin Lu represented them on the board of directors.

I just don’t know why Mr. Lu called Jin Lu at this time?
Originally, because Jin Lu walked to the side, Zhang Xuan couldn't hear her voice clearly, but who knew that Jin Lu suddenly let out a scream.

"Ah, when did it happen? I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I just found out about it too. Please wait a moment, I'll call you back as soon as I figure it out... Okay, I've already met with Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I'll pass on the message to him..."

After a few more hurried words, Jin Lu hung up the phone.

She turned her back to Zhang Xuan, as if she was adjusting her mood. When she turned around, her complexion had returned to normal, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Zhang Xuan was quite strange.

Zhang Xuan felt uncomfortable being stared at, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Director Jin, is there something wrong?"

"Take a look at your mailbox. If nothing unexpected happens, the encrypted email should have been sent by now."

Jin Lu did not explain, but just said lightly.

Zhang Xuan frowned, feeling quite puzzled, but still took out his mobile phone to take a look. Sure enough, there was an encrypted email in his personal mailbox that was only forwarded among board members.

He opened the email and his pupils shrank sharply.

"How can this be!"

After confirming it again and again, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but look up, his face full of shock.

only because……

This is a notification email regarding "equity changes".

If the equity figures had not changed, Zhang Xuan would have suspected that the last email had been sent again...

Because all other information is exactly the same, including the equity transferee.

0.07% of Douyin Group’s shares were acquired again, and the acquirer... was still Zhou Wang.

How long has it been since?

Zhang Xuan couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from dropping his jaw.

At this time, Jin Lu, who had admired his expression enough, crossed her arms and said with a half-smile: "What do you think, Secretary Zhang, do you still want to reserve your opinion now?"

"..."

……

【Ding! 】

[Real interaction completed, the host successfully obtained 0.07% equity of "Syllable Jump"]

"Mr. Zhou, my colleague just left Yinshan Capital. He told me that the second acquisition has been completed. Since you are already a shareholder of Douyin, the procedure this time is much simpler. I will wait for the signed colleague to send the transfer agreement, and then I will go to handle the property registration, and everything will be done."

In the bright office decorated in natural wood tones, when Zhou Wang received the system prompt, lawyer Qi Jiayi, who had just hung up the phone, also congratulated Zhou Wang with a smile.

This time, the "reality interaction" was much faster than Zhou Wang had imagined.

It has been more than a week since the number of followers exceeded one million. In fact, before the release of the third video, due to Lin Ran’s continuous warm-up, the number of followers of Zhou Wang’s short video account had already reached nearly two million.

After releasing the third video today, Zhou Wang’s video about the mobile phone lottery instantly became a hot topic. In just a short while, the number of his fans exceeded two million in an unstoppable manner.

The second "share fragment gift package" was also distributed to his warehouse. This time his luck was a little worse than last time, and he only obtained "0.07%" of the shares, but Zhou Wang was already very satisfied.

After all, judging from the surface value, this is several hundred million...

Although he cannot cash in simply, his voice in Douyin has increased in disguise.

Zhou Wang is not in a hurry. He only has two million fans now. When he has tens of millions of fans, he will probably be able to truly influence this unicorn group.

Because it was expected, Zhou Wang did not show too much surprise. He just smiled and nodded to Qi Jiayi, "Thank you, you have worked hard."

Jiang Qingkui on the side pursed her lips. She didn’t quite understand what was going on, but it seemed that... Zhou Wang bought some more shares of Douyin.

It was just that Qi Jiayi was still present at the moment, and she didn't want to appear to know nothing, so she held it back. However, this did not stop Jiang Qingkui from complaining helplessly in her heart...

Mr. Zhou, you are buying vegetables here, so casual?
