Chapter 634: Counterattack, foreshadowing

"Mr. Hu, this Wu Zunyou is not only the major shareholder of Summit Capital, but also one of the founders of many domestic investment funds.

The source of this person's funds has not yet been clarified, but his activities in the country are very energetic and he is a master of capital operations."

Like Yang Hu, Wu Zunyou is not well-known in the country.

It was also this time that Ye Chong discovered some clues when investigating the backgrounds of the two people.

"You mean, the other party can affect the ownership of this huge subsidy?"

Hu Yang closed the information in his hand and looked up at Ye Chong.

“I can’t be sure about this, but from past cases of Peak Capital, we can find that the other party at least has such strength.

Mr. Hu, Yang Hu and Wu Zunyou are not good men and women. Their assets have expanded rapidly in recent years. On the one hand, they are discerning, and more importantly, they are ruthless in their actions. Ordinary companies are really unable to withstand them."

Ye Chong expressed his worries and said no more.

He has always done things in a measured manner and will not express himself deliberately.

"Manager Ye, you did a good job this time. You have a night's rest today and will rush back tomorrow. Mr. Xia has already gone to the capital. You must give her the necessary support after you return."

The information provided by Ye Chong came in time, and Hu Yang could basically focus on Yang Hu, Wu Zunyou and the Peak Capital behind them.

"Okay, Mr. Hu. I will leave the information with you. If there is any new information, I will report it to you in time."

Ye Chong immediately stood up and said goodbye. Wang Qingquan had arranged a place for him and would treat him to a meal in the evening.

However, these activities are matters between company executives, and Hu Yang will not participate. When the office quiets down, he plans to call Zhang Xiao.

As a result, before his number was dialed, Zhang Xiao's call came in.

"Mr. Hu, where are you now? I have something urgent and I want to see you."

On the phone, Zhang Xiao's tone was anxious, not knowing what was going on.

"I'm in Huijia International Building, you can come directly to my office."

After Hu Yang finished speaking, he hung up the phone, feeling vaguely that Zhang Xiao's anxiety must be related to the Magic City.

After waiting for less than an hour, Zhang Xiao walked into Hu Yang's office under the leadership of Wu Xinhui.

"Director Zhang, who is messing with you? You look so ugly. Come on, come on, don't be angry, let's sit down and have a cup of tea, and then we can talk slowly."

Hu Yang winked, and Wu Xinhui hurriedly went out to boil water to make tea. After a while, a pot of tea and two cups were brought over and placed on the coffee table.

"Mr. Hu, I guess your plan will be difficult to realize. Today, Director You talked to me and hoped that I would do the work for other small shareholders. He intends to introduce new shareholders and is preparing to conduct private placement at this juncture.

I raised objections, and Director You became furious on the spot, saying that I didn’t understand the rules and that he would remove me from my position.”

At that time, Director You said a lot of unpleasant things, and Zhang Xiao still can't calm down even now.

"Director Zhang, you have been wronged by this matter. If I had known this, I shouldn't have put you in the middle. He won't fall out with you even if you don't express your stance."

Hu Yang did not expect that Director You would take action so quickly. It seemed that he and Peak Capital, represented by Wu Zunyou, had reached an agreement.

Otherwise, why would he want private placement at this juncture?

If you introduce new shareholders at this time, if the huge subsidies provided by the state really fall on microelectronic equipment, wouldn't it be equivalent to letting others take advantage of it?

Therefore, when Director You did this, it meant that he and Wu Zunyou had exchanged interests behind the scenes.

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said:

"Is it okay if I don't express my position? It is said that Director You has formed a strategic alliance with Summit Capital. Not only do they want to dilute your equity, they also want to introduce new personnel to dilute my management rights.

Mr. Hu, I heard that Pinnacle Capital will come forward to help microelectronic equipment obtain that subsidy, and then actively apply for listing.

I can finally see that these people don't really take microelectronic equipment seriously. All they think about is how to use microelectronic equipment to make a lot of money. As for the future development of the company, they don't care about it.

."

Obviously, Director You and Zhang Xiao have long had differences in the company's business philosophy.

Taking advantage of the introduction of Peak Capital this time, Director You intended to significantly reduce Zhang Xiao's voice in microelectronic equipment.

To put it bluntly, Director You and Peak Capital, represented by Wu Zunyou, all want to use this subsidy to go public and make money.

No one really cares about the long-term development of domestic lithography equipment.

This is something Zhang Xiao absolutely cannot tolerate.

Although microelectronic equipment is not Zhang Xiao's own business, he has devoted too much effort to the company.

But according to the way Director You and others are doing it, the future of microelectronic equipment is worrying!

"Director Zhang, don't be discouraged. I will firmly oppose the company's introduction of new shareholders. However, the equity I currently own cannot veto it with one vote, so you must be mentally prepared.

If that day comes, I will not hesitate to decouple Braun Optics from microelectronic equipment. As for their desire to acquire Braun Optics, don’t even think about it!”

If Hu Yang still had illusions about the Magic City before receiving Ye Chong's investigation information, then by now, he has completely given up trying to convince Director You.

Hu Yang’s previous investment in microelectronics equipment was purely to develop domestic high-end lithography equipment, and he did not even think about competing with anyone for control of the company.

But now, Hu Yang suddenly felt that he had the fighting spirit again.

He not only wants to fight, but also wants to win beautifully.

"Mr. Hu, it doesn't matter if I leave the company, it's just the position of chairman and general manager.

However, I have put too much effort into the company, and I will not be willing to see the day when domestic high-end lithography equipment rises."

At this time, Zhang Xiao was extremely entangled, and he was indeed reluctant to leave the company. However, Director You had already revealed that he wanted to arrange for new people to gradually share the power in his hands.

Rather than being thrown out like a rag in the end, it is better to resign on your own initiative and still retain some self-respect.

"Director Zhang, please be patient and listen to me. I will never give up on microelectronics equipment easily. I haven't reached that point yet.

What you need to do now is to contact those small shareholders who are willing to really do something, and try to persuade them to support us.

Of course, it is not appropriate for you to directly charge into the battle on this matter. What I mean is that you only serve as a liaison, and I will send someone to take over the specific work of persuading them."

At this time, Hu Yang will certainly not be polite. The company's equity structure is destined to make it impossible for Hu Yang to gain control, but it is still possible to work with some small shareholders to overturn the motion initiated by Director You.

As for those small shareholders, whether they want immediate benefits or long-term benefits, Hu Yang is not sure.

But there are some things you can only try, and you will feel at ease whether you succeed or fail.

"This is no problem, but I guess it won't have much effect. Mr. Hu, not everyone is as unmoved by huge wealth as you are. I think most small shareholders will still be greedy for immediate benefits and choose to support Director You.

."

Zhang Xiao nodded and promised Hu Yang that he would do some work for small shareholders.

However, he is not optimistic about the outcome.

"It doesn't matter, it all depends on the person. Director Zhang, I would like to ask you to continue working in microelectronics equipment for a while. If we win in the end, then we won't say anything. It will be the same as before.

If we eventually lose control of the company, then I will fully support you as the CEO of Braun Optics, I can guarantee this."

Hu Yang knew that the most important thing at the moment was to appease people's hearts. As long as Zhang Xiao could be appeased, the backbone of the microelectronics equipment team would be stable.

If one day Hu Yang really gives up microelectronics equipment, Zhang Xiao will definitely be able to lead a group of business backbones to defect to Bolong Optics.

Zhang Xiao felt much more at ease when he heard what Hu Yang said.

This is the second time Hu Yang has given him a promise, which shows that Hu Yang still values ​​himself very much.

"Mr. Hu, what are your plans next?"

Zhang Xiao knows that Hu Yang is not a harmless little white rabbit. If anyone dares to underestimate this person, reality will soon slap him in the face.

Therefore, he was very curious about what specific plans Hu Yang had in the future.

"We have to get involved in the matter of state support and subsidies. The merger and reorganization plan we have proposed should also be known to higher levels. Don't let anyone accuse us of fighting among ourselves. I will not take the blame.

There is another important thing now, which is to prepare to terminate the cross-shareholding agreement between the two parties. This matter is very important and is the key for us to regain the initiative."

Hu Yang was confident and he was going to take the initiative.

"Yes, I was thinking about this before, but everyone seems to have forgotten about cross-shareholdings?

I remembered that there was an article in the original agreement that if both parties undergo major changes in capital, equity, etc., they need to obtain the approval of the other party. If the other party does not agree, if the other party changes the relevant major matters of the company on its own, cross-shareholding

The agreement is immediately void."

Zhang Xiao has not thought about cross-shareholding at all these days. If Director You insists on promoting the private placement of microelectronic equipment, the first consequence will be that the cross-shareholding agreement will be immediately invalidated.

For example, if microelectronics equipment wants to introduce new shareholders for private placement, the company's capital will inevitably change. In this case, the original cross-shareholding ratio is obviously unfair.

So the question is, if Microelectronics Equipment has more capital, it will still suffer a big loss based on the original shareholding ratio.
