Chapter 83 A difficult opponent

"Maybe it has only been open for a short time and has not yet formed a word-of-mouth effect. How about we also do publicity? The advertising effect is not good, and the investment is still high. I wonder if we can jointly organize an event with Yibaijia

?

Manager Fei said that in order to prepare for the peak sales season before the Spring Festival, the supermarket plans to offer sales rebates. Later, you can go to him and we can provide some vouchers."

Yibaijia (chain store) is increasing its promotion efforts. Customers who purchase a certain amount of goods at one time can redeem some small gifts or something. Hu Yang thinks that giving customers vouchers for some restaurants is also quite attractive.

"Then don't we lose money? Everyone uses vouchers to eat, so we lose a lot. I'm afraid we have to set some conditions before using vouchers."

Li Hao nodded and did not object.

"That's for sure! For example, if you spend over ten yuan, you can use a two-yuan voucher, which is equivalent to a 20% discount. We are a snack shop with small profit margins, and we have to calculate the cost of promotions."

This promotional method of Populus euphratica is not new, but it should be effective.

After listening to Hu Yang's suggestion, Li Hao couldn't sit still. "Yang Yang, what you said makes sense. I will go find Manager Fei now."

"Okay, it's time for me to leave. You go to Jianye Building, and I'll go back to the company."

Hu Yang's biggest fear is that there are operational problems, but for now, it seems that everything in the store is normal, so there is no need to sit here anymore.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Hu, are you leaving now? I'll see you off."

Liu Donglai ran out of the back hall at this time with a fake smile on his face. He knew that Hu Yang and Li Hao were both in the store. On the one hand, he was a little busy, but on the other hand, he was also afraid of seeing them.

He was afraid that if he failed to do something well, he would be punished again. Therefore, when Liu Donglai saw the two of them preparing to leave, he came out to say hello.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Go and do your work, don't mess with these useless things. Three Monkeys, if you pay more attention, business will get better."

Hu Yang didn't even bother to look at this guy, he stood up and walked out directly. This guy from Three Monkeys has a character that doesn't bother him for three days, so don't pay attention to him.

Watching Hu Yang and Li Hao walk out, Liu Donglai breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of Li Hao, he had been afraid since he was a child, but who knew that it would be Li Hao who managed the catering company.

...

Xijiang Friendship Shopping Center Co., Ltd., Zhang Zhongyi’s office.

Pang Qianli walked in hurriedly, and Wang Qingquan, who was accompanying him, held a large stack of documents in his hands. "Qingquan, put the documents on the table, and then introduce to Mr. Zhang the company's preparation for the issuance review meeting."

"Okay. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Pang, the company has now officially changed its name to Xijiang Friendship Group Co., Ltd. Our listing application materials have passed the preliminary review and will be submitted to the review committee at the end of the month.

However, there are still some flaws in the company's performance, mainly because the preliminary review found that the statements of Yibaijia (chain) would not be easy to merge into a future listed company. The reason is that Xijiang Friendship failed to obtain actual control of Yibaijia."

Wang Qingquan has just returned from the imperial capital. For the listing of Xijiang Friendship, he is basically stationed there now.

Zhang Zhongyi frowned and motioned for Pang Qianli and Wang Qingquan to sit down for a while. He immediately made a call to Deputy General Manager Cao Wei of Yibaijia (chain).

"Xiao Cao, how are the employee stock ownership talks between you and the Yibai family going? Are they willing to sell their shares?"

Zhang Zhongyi was prepared for a rainy day and asked Cao Wei to start contacting Liao Guoqiang a month ago in an attempt to acquire the shares of the Employee Stock Ownership Association.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. They still won't let go. No matter what conditions they offer, they just refuse to transfer the equity."

The situation of the ESOP is different from that of Hu Yang. Hu Yang prefers to cash out because he has new investment channels. Huijia Industrial is originally an investment company in the true sense.

The Employee Stock Ownership Association, seeing the development prospects of Yibaijia (chain), is waiting for dividends every year.

"Well, I understand. You can give up the negotiation now. By the way, you can come back for a meeting in the afternoon. There may be some equity and personnel changes in Yibai Family recently."

After Zhang Zhongyi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Pang Qianli asked with a smile: "The thing didn't work out? Why don't we ask Hu Yang, maybe he is willing to sell the equity."

Zhang Zhongyi also laughed and said: "We always thought that Hu Yang would never sell his equity again. In fact, neither you nor I guessed it right. Xijiang Shengyuan contacted him and wanted to acquire 20% of his equity in Yibaijia.

He actually didn’t object, but the price was very high.”

This news was also beyond Pang Qianli's expectation. A good company is hard to find. Holding the shares of Yibaijia (chain) is equivalent to holding a "golden rice bowl" in your hands. Now he doesn't even want it.

Already?

"Mr. Zhang, let's talk to Hu Yang. We don't want that much. If we can acquire more than 1% of his equity, it will be enough."

Xijiang Friendship currently holds 50% of the shares. As long as it exceeds 51% of the shares, it will form a controlling situation.

At that time, when Xijiang Friendship invested in Yibaijia (chain), it was not that it had not thought about the issue of controlling shares. However, in order to eliminate Hu Yang's wariness, it temporarily gave up this option.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Mr. Hu is still very ambitious. As soon as Xijiang Shengyuan contacted him, he called me. By the way, it has been confirmed that he is planning to gradually withdraw from the management of Yibaijia. Former general manager Li Hao,

has officially left Yibaijia, and deputy general manager Fei Zhijun has taken over as general manager."

Zhang Zhongyi also didn't expect that Hu Yang was slowly withdrawing from the Yibai family. If he had known that he would take a shareholding, he should have taken control in one fell swoop.

In fact, none of them understand Populus euphratica. Populus euphratica's strategy is to withdraw in batches and try to maximize profits. If Xijiang Friendship had sought a controlling stake, it was really impossible to negotiate.

Zhang Zhongyi didn't hesitate immediately and called Hu Yang directly.

At this time, Hu Yang was still discussing the equity transfer with Tang Ziyu. Tang Ziyu seemed to be a weak girl on the surface, but she was a difficult opponent in the negotiations.

If the negotiation failed once, she would do it two or three times. Each time, she increased the price little by little, which made Populus euphratica very annoyed.

If you don’t want to talk about it, you still have to worry about Wu Di’s face and Tang Ziyu’s background, but this kind of marathon negotiation is really too much.

"Mr. Hu, look, I have paid 8.9 million for 20% of Yibaijia's equity, which is enough to represent my sincerity. This price is really reasonable. Your previous valuation was actually a bit high.

"

Tang Ziyu wasn't in a hurry, just grinding it slowly.

Hu Yang opened his mouth and was about to speak, but his big brother made a loud noise.

"Sorry, I'll take a call first."

The number displayed on Hu Yang's phone was Zhang Zhongyi's. He casually pressed the answer button and did not shy away from Tang Ziyu.

"Mr. Hu, how are you and Xijiang Shengyuan talking about the transfer of Yibaijia shares? I have something to ask you for help...I won't talk nonsense. Now the company needs to be listed.

To obtain the controlling stake of Yibaijia (chain), you can transfer part of it to me. I don’t want much, just about 5% of the equity. The company’s valuation is as you said, with a minimum of 50 million yuan.”
