Chapter 1605 Taking over the poetry club
Zhang Jinbao has invested a considerable amount of money in the research projects of Haihan Poetry Society, and the energy expended is incalculable. Now Li Nai will cut off half or more of the projects with just one sentence, which is equivalent to throwing away this money. Entering the water naturally caused him great pain. But Zhang Jinbao also understands that his vision and talent in business are limited, and he is far inferior to top rich people like Li Nai. The professional judgment made by the other party is definitely better than his own. As long as promising research projects can continue, Zhang Jinbao can still accept Li Nai's opinion.
Of course, Zhang Jinbao also knew that Li Nai would definitely not dismiss him with just a few words. Since Fulifeng was going to take over the research project of the Haifeng Poetry Society, it would make sense to give him some compensation, even if it was just a token. Only with sexual compensation can this transaction be considered reasonable.
Li Nai said slowly: "As for how to connect and hand over, I have two sets of options to choose from. One is for Furifeng to send managers to the Haifeng Poetry Society. From now on, the Poetry Society will be operated by us. We will meet once and for all. Second, the poetry club will continue to be run by Mr. Zhang, and Fulifeng will only invest in projects that interest it.”
Zhang Jinbao couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this. The conditions given by Fulifeng were actually a little far from his goal. He didn't want to completely leave the Haifeng Poetry Society. After all, this was where he had worked hard, but if the other party Only investing in projects of interest will actually be difficult to save the operational prospects of the entire poetry society. Zhang Jinbao also hopes that Fulifeng can retain a place for himself while acquiring the Haifeng Poetry Society.
"Why, Mr. Zhang seems to be dissatisfied with both plans? Then do you want to hear my buyout bid first?" Seeing Zhang Jinbao's silence, Li Nai took the initiative to ask.
Zhang Jinbao quickly responded: "I don't dare, I just don't want to let go completely. I would like to ask the third young master if there is a third way?"
"Oh? Then tell me what you have in mind. If it's feasible, you can consider it." Li Nai was very talkative and asked Zhang Jinbao to propose a handover plan on his own. To be honest, the projects currently being researched by Hai Feng Poetry Society may not bring much profit to Furifeng. The reason why Li Nai is willing to invest in the acquisition is mainly because he likes this private research model, which may be used by Furifeng itself in the future. . Moreover, Zhang Jinbao recruited a group of elite talents in Danzhou through the Haifeng Poetry Society. When Furifeng took over the Poetry Society, he also gained a group of talents. This is what is truly valuable, and it is also one of the reasons why Li Nai is willing to come to Danzhou. One, it’s just that Zhang Jinbao doesn’t understand this.
In the past few days after Li Nai arrived in Danzhou, he had learned through his own channels the identities of some members of the Haihan Poetry Society, and made corresponding understandings. Although these people are not as good as those high-level elites in Sanya who have been personally trained by Haihan executives, they are already rare talents among the people. If they can recruit these people under their own hands, they may be more powerful than the Haifeng Poetry Society project itself. Bigger gains.
Of course, to complete this step, Li Nai couldn't completely kick Zhang Jinbao away and do it on his own. After all, these people joined the Haifeng Poetry Club in the first place, almost all because of Zhang Jinbao's face. If he wanted these people to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the society in the future, For Fulifeng, just relying on generous salary may not be enough. Therefore, the two plans proposed by Li Nai did not blindly sever the relationship between Haifeng Poetry Society and Zhang Jinbao, but still left him a way out.
Zhang Jinbao thought about it and responded: "If the third young master thinks that I can still be useful, can you leave me some random job after acquiring the Haifeng Poetry Society? Of course, in terms of management, I will not say much. Everything will be done with Fulifeng." The arrangements shall prevail.”
Li Nai remained silent and did not reply immediately, seeming to be thinking about Zhang Jinbao's request. Zhang Jinbao didn't rush when he saw this, he just waited silently.
Seeing this, Xun Pengcheng took the initiative to say something fair: "If Zhang Shanchang can stay in the poetry club, he can continue to recruit talents for the poetry club locally in the future. The third young master may wish to consider it."
In fact, it was not that Li Nai had not thought of this, but in front of these two people, he had to show his due airs, so that it would appear that every decision he made was carefully considered. However, Xun Pengcheng took the initiative to bring up this possibility, which saved him the trouble. Otherwise, if he had brought it up, the other party might think that he would use his connections after all.
"Actually, I didn't propose this plan because I was afraid that Mr. Zhang would be disillusioned with the Haifeng Poetry Society and it would be difficult for him to stay. Since Mr. Zhang requested it on his own, I would naturally be happy to continue to cooperate with Mr. Zhang." Li Nai slowly responded to Zhang Jinbao's words. As for Xun Pengcheng's words, he did not respond. This was not because he looked down on Xun Pengcheng, but because the topic was too sensitive and should not be discussed here.
Li Nai's statement naturally made everyone happy. Needless to say, Zhang Jinbao also didn't want Xun Pengcheng to be kicked out of the game. Haifeng Poetry Society did not achieve profitability under Zhang Jinbao, but if Fu Ruifeng was replaced as the boss, the situation in the future might be different. Zhang Jinbao's reward for Xun Pengcheng was to invest in Qiongxi Academy. In the future, Xun Pengcheng will also enter the Danzhou cultural and educational circles. Zhang Jinbao's participation in the future management of the poetry club means that he can also participate, and maybe he will make a fortune. opportunity.
Once the big intentions are reached, subsequent negotiations will be much easier. Li Nai and Zhang Jinbao are not ordinary people. The industries they operate are also big businesses. Their perspective on problems and their determination to make choices are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, as long as they can achieve their goals, they do not mind negotiating. Pay or give up part of the benefits in the process.
However, this field has become Xun Pengcheng's shortcoming. In the past, he was just a paparazzi reporter covering social news. He was not good at running a business, and he did not know enough about industrialized fields such as culture, education, and scientific research, so later The negotiations were basically unable to get a word in. Xun Pengcheng himself was worried about exposing his shortcomings, so he simply was happy to be a spectator and learn how to conduct this type of negotiation from the bargaining between the two.
Prior to this, Xun Pengcheng and Zhang Jinbao had been preparing for this meeting for many days. However, because the two parties quickly reached an agreement on their intentions after the contact, the final formal consultation on the contact with the Haifeng Poetry Society actually only took a few days. to a day's time. Li Nai didn't want to spend more energy and time on this project. His trip to Danzhou this time had already taken three times longer than expected due to weather conditions, thus delaying a series of subsequent arrangements. . Therefore, he hoped to end the negotiation with Zhang Jinbao as soon as possible, hand over the matter to his subordinates for follow-up earlier, and be able to get away from Danzhou to do other things.
At the end, Xun Pengcheng asked a very constructive question: "Third Young Master, since this matter has obtained the permission of the government, can it be made public and find a way to publicize it?"
Li Nai was really startled this time. He really hadn't thought about this aspect. Xun Pengcheng's words suddenly made some ideas pop up in his mind. He nodded towards Xun Pengcheng and said: "Mr. It's a good idea. I'll write it down first and ask the chief later if he can do it." This was the first time Zhang Jinbao heard someone talk about Xun Pengcheng's occupation and asked in surprise: "Isn't Mr. Xun a plantation owner?"
"I'm planning to switch to plantation management. I used to work in a newspaper office." Of course, Xun Pengcheng couldn't deny what Li Nai said, so he could only briefly explain to Zhang Jinbao.
Li Nai didn't expect that Xun Pengcheng had not revealed his past career to Zhang Jinbao, but after thinking about it, he realized that Xun Pengcheng was worried about being looked down upon by the reporter because of his low status as a reporter. If he hadn't accidentally pointed it out, Zhang Jinbao would probably have been criticized all the time. In the dark. But since Xun Pengcheng had scruples about this, he certainly would not lose Xun Pengcheng's face in front of Zhang Jinbao.
Zhang Jinbao finally retained 30% of the shares of Haifeng Poetry Society, and of course the transfer fee he received was greatly reduced. However, for him, being able to continue this business is far more important than immediate benefits. What's more, with Fu Ruifeng in charge of the operation of Haifeng Poetry Society in the future, the possibility of making money will increase a lot. It is not a fantasy to make profits from stocks.
However, although Zhang Jinbao retains his status as a shareholder, he will no longer directly participate in the operation of the poetry society in the future. He knows that he is not good at business, so he does not insist on this point. Anyway, from now on, Fu Ruifeng will provide the funds needed to maintain the daily operations and project research of the poetry club. Even if it loses money, he will no longer need to subsidize it from his pocket.
Xun Pengcheng got the 20% stake in Qiongxi Academy as promised by Zhang Jinbao. As far as the current situation is concerned, the value of Qiongxi Academy far exceeds that of the poorly managed Haifeng Poetry Society, so in this transfer case The person who gained the greatest direct benefit was Xun Pengcheng, who was the liaison between them. Even if he only relies on the income from Qiongxi Academy to live in the future, it will be enough for him to live a good life in Danzhou.
Naturally, Xun Pengcheng could not find anything wrong with this result. Now he only felt that his choice to come to Danzhou was indeed a very wise decision. After all, such a good thing like pie in the sky could only happen in Danzhou. arrive. Of course, it would be best if Wang Baisuo never came to visit him again.
Li Nai left two shopkeepers in Danzhou to follow up on the Haifeng Poetry Society, while he left by boat first. Even Zhang Jinbao admired Li Nai's big heart, because the other party had never met these researchers at all. His understanding of the operation of the poetry society may have come from the information he prepared. It was so happy. He took over the mess of the poetry club. Of course, this method of handling is also based on Li Nai's identity and background. After all, the partial acquisition of Haifeng Poetry Society is not a particularly large amount for Furifeng, and it will not be a big loss even if it is completely lost. Injury to muscles and bones.
After Li Nai's two shopkeepers took over the Haifeng Poetry Society, they first followed Li Nai's intention and terminated all research projects that had no prospects or were in the wrong direction in order to save money. For some research contents that have already achieved preliminary results, such as the new rudder that Xun Pengcheng saw last time at Fengming Villa, special funds were immediately allocated to produce more finished products to verify whether its effect is as theoretically deduced. Just as great.
However, since it will be difficult to find a new venue for a while, Zhang Jinbao's Fengming Villa will continue to be used as the research and development center of the Haifeng Poetry Society. Zhang Jinbao himself has no objection to this. After all, the transfer fee he received from Li Nai has paid back all the money he borrowed from the bank. Now that Fengming Villa is back in his hands, how do he want to arrange it? Just arrange it.
Xun Pengcheng also found a property with Zhang Jinbao's help. It was located less than a mile away from Fengming Villa in the west of the city. The price of Sanjin's house was 16,000. The owner was a local gentry and was planning to move his family there. Settled in Sanya. Although the house price is not too cheap, it is more convenient for living, the yard is large enough, and the environment meets Xun Pengcheng's requirements. After viewing it, he was quite satisfied, so he paid for it and signed a deed to transfer the property.
It was definitely inconvenient for Xun Pengcheng to live in such a big house by himself, so he went to the city's dental shop and hired stewards, cooks, and handymen, and bought some new furniture. Only then could he live in a decent place. The state was settled.
Zhang Jinbao specially checked the almanac and chose an auspicious day to arrange for Xun Pengcheng to move. On the day Xun Pengcheng moved, the latest issue of Haihan Times was delivered to Danzhou. Among the contents published in this issue, there was news about Danzhou Haifeng Poetry Society.
This press release did not appear on the front page, and the content was not too detailed. It only said that in addition to academic discussions, Danzhou Haifeng Poetry Society also organized research on some practical technologies, and received investment from the famous consortium Fulifeng. . The article revealed rather vaguely that this kind of behavior has been officially recognized. As for how many knowledgeable people can understand the meaning, it depends on their own abilities.
Xun Pengcheng happened to be one of the knowledgeable people, and he saw this report almost immediately. Xun Pengcheng understands the style of the official media of Haihan Times very well. An article like this that will be published in the newspaper will definitely not just be used to fill the page with nonsense, but the Haihan senior management will use this to send a signal that civilians are interested in civil projects. Research and invention are officially recognized and encouraged behaviors.
Xun Pengcheng calculated the publication time of this newspaper and estimated that it was almost after he suggested to Li Nai that there should be some publicity methods. It was most likely that Li Nai telegraphed the progress here back to Sanya, and also reported to the executive by the way. The committee requested instructions. The fact that this report was published in newspapers was probably the Executive Committee's statement.
