Chapter 449 Set sail
After entering December, the weather gets colder day by day.
In mid-month, Lingshi Palace Group's headquarters completed its relocation, and two days later, a board meeting was held at the new office location.
Participants included Chairman of the Board Luo Yang, Executive Vice President An Ying representing Luo Sheng Tang, CEO Chu Jianming representing Kunpeng Technology, Song Wan temporarily representing Gray Rhino Capital, General Manager Tan Ying representing Guobao Pictures, and Qiao Zhiyuan representing Jiang Xiaobai.
In addition, two other people participated in this meeting.
One is Luo Yang’s assistant Yu Haiping, and the other is Zhao Hengtao, the newly appointed CEO of Gray Rhino Capital.
At half past nine, Luo Yang appeared in the conference room on time.
“Today’s meeting is the second board meeting held by the group since its establishment, and it mainly discussed two topics.”
Luo Yang sat in the upper seat and said straight to the point: "Let's first discuss a few personnel appointments and dismissals, and use the remaining time to discuss several projects that the group is currently preparing to invest in."
Everyone had two documents in front of them, and the one on top was naturally about the first topic.
"First, the decision on the appointment and removal of Song Wan, the former CEO of Grey Rhino Capital."
At Luo Yang's signal, Yu Haiping actually assumed the responsibilities of the board of directors' secretary committee.
"Luo Yang, Chairman of Lingshi Palace Group, hereby recommends that Song Wan be removed from her position as CEO of Grey Rhino Capital and be appointed to another position."
"Hereby, Luo Yang, Chairman of Lingshi Palace Group, suggests that Song Wan be appointed as the Group's full-time Vice President, in charge of the Group's newly established investment department."
"Luo Yang, Chairman of Lingshi Palace Group, recommends that Zhao Hengtao be appointed as CEO of Gray Rhino Capital and join the board of directors."
"Hereby, Luo Yang, Chairman of Lingshi Palace Group, suggests that Yu Haiping be appointed as the Director of the Group's Board of Directors' Secretary Committee."
"Luo Yang, Chairman of the Lingshi Palace Group, has suggested that Song Wan retain her seat on the board."
"Hereby, Luo Yang, Chairman of the Lingshi Palace Group, suggests adding Zhao Hengtao as a member of the group's board of directors."
"."
After the appointment and dismissal resolution was read out, Yu Haiping continued: "Now let's vote on Song Wan's appointment and dismissal proposal. Raise your hands if you agree!"
When Luo Yang raised his hand first, Song Wan's appointment and dismissal went smoothly.
Several subsequent adjustments were also successfully passed.
After the self-introductions of the people involved in the job changes, the meeting continued.
"In this round of adjustments, the original functions of Grey Rhino Capital and the Group Investment Department have been transformed. In the future, Grey Rhino Capital will focus on financial investment, and the functions of investment and incubation projects will be transferred to the Group Investment Department."
The newly appointed Director Yu read out the second document and said, "Now, please invite the group's full-time vice president, Mr. Song Wan, to give a report on the project investment work."
"Hello, Chairman, fellow directors. Now let me introduce to you the investment projects that the Group's Investment Department has been organizing and tracking recently."
Most of the content in the second document was originally written by Song Wan, so she was very familiar with it when reporting it.
"The first investment project is Edifier Bike Sharing. The founder of the project is Chairman Luo Yang. In the name of college student entrepreneurship, relying on the strong support of Shanghai universities for mobile Internet policies, the group achieved a zero breakthrough in the Internet industry."
"Based on the concept of opening up the last mile of transportation, shared bicycles have achieved a conceptual breakthrough in the application of mobile Internet."
“The project will first be run experimentally in Songjiang University Town to improve technology and collect data from multiple aspects such as market, management, and operations.”
"The second phase of the project will be promoted in universities across Shanghai to further improve the management model and operation concept."
“Phase 3 of the project.”
The content of Song Wan's report was relatively concise because it absorbed the essence of the project plan compiled by Luo Yang.
". In view of the above reasons, the Group Investment Department intends to invest 100 million in the shared bicycle project, accounting for 30% of the shares"
This is equivalent to Lingshi Palace Group taking out all the initial capital to establish the company.
But no one objected to the investment decision.
After voting to approve the first investment, Song Wan continued to report on the second investment report.
"Based on the expansionary development of Luoshengtang, a subsidiary of the group, the demand for store rentals will increase sharply in the next stage. The investment department intends to invest in store-type commercial fixed assets."
This is the game of left hand to right hand.
The group used a snowball mortgage method to obtain loans and funds to purchase shops, which not only increased fixed assets, but also allowed it to rent them to Luo Shengtang, collect long-term rent, and obtain working capital.
This kind of investment, which is guaranteed to make a profit for at least a dozen years, can still be passed smoothly even if Luo Yang is not the only one who has the final say in the group’s board of directors.
At this point in the meeting, more than an hour had passed.
"Intermission. The meeting will continue in fifteen minutes."
In accordance with the established process, Yu Haiping announced the suspension of the meeting.
Everyone should go to the toilet if they need to, and go to the smoking room if they need to smoke.
At eleven o'clock sharp, everyone returned to the meeting room.
"The third investment project is Luo Sheng Tang's project, and Vice President An Ying will make the specific report."
Yu Haiping followed the meeting procedure and announced that the next speech would be given to An Ying.
"Before we start, let me first state that this investment project is not a profitable investment. The benefits will be reflected in the overall profit of Luo Sheng Tang, and it will also increase the market competitiveness of Luo Sheng Tang's affiliated brands."
An Ying first explained the attributes, advantages and disadvantages of this investment.
".Based on the needs of market competition, in order to ensure the profit margin in the subsequent price war, Luo Sheng Tang plans to invest 1 million yuan in the raw material supply chain and logistics chain in three stages, gradually increase the self-ownership rate and reduce product costs."
This investment has actually been discussed and approved by the Luo Sheng Tang board of directors.
However, according to the requirements of the group, if the investment amount of a single project of a subsidiary exceeds 2000 million, it must be approved by the group's board of directors.
In fact, Luo Yang also wants to classify.
A project committee will be set up at the group level without hiring additional personnel; the committee can be composed of the heads of finance, operations, investment and other departments, and will specifically review investment projects between RMB 1000 million and RMB 5000 million.
Investments exceeding 5000 million will be considered on the board of directors.
The money spent was from Luo Sheng Tang, the plan was proposed by Luo Yang, and An Ying was only responsible for the expansion of the specific plan. Therefore, the investment review was passed without any obstacles.
In fact, Guobao Film and Television also invested in Happy Twist Company, but the total amount was only 300 million, and it was not brought to the board of directors' attention.
More than half an hour passed in a flash.
At around 11:40, the investment report ended.
"Now, please allow the chairman to make a summary speech."
"It's almost time for dinner, so let's cut to the chase."
Luo Yang was not used to dragging his feet, so he said directly: "The structure of the group headquarters is not perfect at present, and some positions are even vacant, so new departments will be established and new executives will take office in the next stage. I hope that these problems can be properly resolved when the next board of directors is held!"
The end of his speech meant the end of this board meeting.
"Chairman, can I have a few minutes of your time?"
As soon as he walked out of the conference room, Song Wan caught up with Luo Yang: "I want to talk to you about loans."
"Come to my office and talk."
The new office is not big. The conference room and Luo Yang’s chairman’s office are on the same floor, not far apart.
"Chairman, I heard that the company's loans all came from Yongcheng Bank?"
Song Wan didn't mince words in front of Luo Yang and asked directly, "Should we continue to use this bank for the mortgage loan of the investment project that was approved at the meeting just now?"
The second investment decision involves a start-up capital of about 3000 million yuan, which can be accumulated slowly in a snowball manner.
But the overall amount of funds is still very large.
In terms of asset safety, of course you should buy assets in the core business district of a core city. Even if it is a smaller city, you should try to invest in the commercial center.
Although the shops in this kind of location are not large in area, the price of a single shop is hundreds of thousands, or even several million. When the number of shops increases to hundreds of millions, the investment will be hundreds of millions, or even billions!
All of this has to be raised through snowball mortgage loans.
From the perspective of banks, of course they prefer this type of loan the most.
"What's your suggestion?"
Luo Yang did not comment yet.
"I suggest using multiple channels. The benefits of tying up one family are obvious, but the risks are also particularly concentrated!"
Song Wan said very bluntly: "Yongcheng Bank is just a local commercial bank after all, and its scale is not very large. Even if you want to use this kind of commercial bank, I suggest dealing with Pufa Bank and the like."
"Do you have connections in Pufa?"
"Chairman!"
Song Wan looked at Luo Yang with her eyes wide open: "Is this interesting to you?"
"This is really not a test!"
Luo Yang smiled: "I know what you mean. You want the group's finance department to get involved. But from my point of view, the investment department should have certain financial attributes. Since this area is handed over to you to take charge of, you must trust your people. You can operate it with confidence."
He stared at Luo Yang for a long time.
"Let me be frank with you. You can do it, but don't be suspicious later. I can't stand it!"
"What? I've already bought off my subordinates, and it's still not working?"
Luo Yang joked: "The stones should be warmed up now."
"I'll contact a few more companies and come to your office to discuss it!"
Song Wan rolled her eyes at Luo Yang and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
This woman acts in a hurry and runs away after she finishes talking.
It is said that there is nothing new under the sun, and there are no secrets in the circle.
Before the end of get off work time, Cong Shanshan called Luo Yang's cell phone.
"Master, your fields are so barren that they are almost dying of drought. Why don't you come and water them?"
Luo Yang: “.”
"Talk about something!"
At this moment, he had not yet realized the spread of the news and only associated it with other aspects.
"Director Dong dragged me into his office today and scolded me for more than half an hour. He almost beat me with a whip."
Manager Cong complained on the phone: "You said I wasted my time all day long and your channels were blocked."
There are two sentences in total, and the multiple meanings are expressed completely and clearly.
There are only a few dozen words in total, half of which is driving.
When it comes to the means of teasing, even Jiang Wen is not on the same level as her.
"So fast?"
Luo Yang ignored the wheels on his face and said in surprise: "I finished the meeting in the morning, and people started contacting the bank in the afternoon, right?"
"This is where Director Dong is so amazing!"
Cong Shanshan sighed: "I didn't hear a single word of it at all."
"Did she tell you anything?"
"No matter what method I use, I must bite off a piece of meat from you!"
Cong Shanshan said: "It's a death order, you have to complete it."
