Chapter 740 Field Investigation

Daxia Yuanhang Group was originally a state-owned enterprise.

It was just that the business was not doing well at the time and years of losses led to delisting.

After a series of reforms, the company became a private enterprise and successfully returned to the A-share market.

However, Yuanhang Group, which returned to A-shares, has weakened its shipping business and increased the proportion of its shipbuilding business in the group.

In terms of human sophistication, they are definitely not as good as state-owned enterprises.

Therefore, many shipbuilding orders never reach them.

In desperation, they can only start with technological innovation.

However, in the past five years, the group has invested tens of billions of funds, but still failed to achieve obvious results.

The performance is also a year of losses and gains for a year, just dawdling around.

The current chairman of Yuanhang Group is Zhu Wenhai, with a shareholding ratio of 28.8%.

Just such a small amount of equity is certainly not enough to stabilize his position.

There are two very important partners behind him.

One is Haicheng Yip Group, which holds 12% of the shares, and the other is Suzhou Xiao Group, which holds 12.2% of the shares.

With the support of these two big families, Zhu Wenhai can firmly control the Yuanhang Group.

But ever since there was a fierce fight between the Ye family and the Xiao family, and the Xiao family was forced to settle in Su City, the two families have never dealt with each other.

As the victors, the Ye family never looked down upon the Xiao family and tried their best to prevent the Xiao family from returning to Haicheng.

As losers, the Xiao family has always wanted to find opportunities for revenge and dreams of fighting back to Haicheng.

However, no matter how much hatred the two families had, they never changed their stance on supporting Wang Wenhai.

As for the reason, we have to go back two generations to make it clear.

To sum it up in a simple sentence, Zhu Wenhai's grandfather was very powerful back then, and the two ancestors of the Ye family and the Xiao family were his grandfather's subordinates.

With this relationship, no matter what kind of trouble the Ye family and Xiao family get into, their purpose of supporting Zhu Wenhai will never change.

The reason why Yang Chen chose the Yuanhang Group was naturally related to the support of the Ye family and the Xiao family behind Zhu Wenhai.

Looking at the entire Haicheng and the cities surrounding Haicheng, the ones that can pose a threat to Yang Chen are the Ye family in Haicheng and the Xiao family in Su City.

Therefore, considering this aspect, Yang Chen must win over Yuanhang Group.

As for companies that can develop and produce artificial satellites, they are basically state-owned enterprises.

Because Daxia only began to deregulate aviation companies in 2015, allowing private companies to get involved in aerospace and other industries.

Although some private enterprises have been involved in this area of ​​business in the past few years, they have not been able to achieve much because the time was too short.

Therefore, Yang Chen had to consider how to choose a target.

If he chooses to cooperate with a Chinese enterprise, Yang Chen will definitely not get much equity.

Making less money is a trivial matter. The key is that having less equity means having no say.

In the future, whatever Yang Chen wants to do must be submitted to the board of directors and shareholders' meeting for a vote, which would be too troublesome.

Therefore, the best choice for Yang Chen is definitely a private enterprise.

Then you can only try to rise up from the short ones, and choose a company that looks good from a bunch of unattractive private companies.

After some screening, Yang Chen selected a company called Sounding Technology.

The company's registered place and place of business are both in Anseong.

The company was founded in Si Nian, and it just developed a rocket not long ago. full content

It is said that this rocket can send artificial satellites to low-Earth orbit.

However, due to lack of funds, one failed to be put into trial production.

The ability to develop results shows that the company's R&D personnel are capable.

But they are short of money, so they cannot turn their research and development results into commercial products.

And what Yang Chen has is money, and the two parties may be able to reach a cooperative relationship.

Yang Chen didn't want to waste time, because SX, WO, Amazon, etc. were already a big step ahead.

If they delay for another year and a half, the gap between Yang Chen and them will become wider.

Therefore, he must finalize the artificial satellite and smart ship business as soon as possible.

So, Yang Chen called Jin Zhina and ordered her to contact Yuanhang Group and Sounding Technology immediately and arrange a time to meet with the most capable people in charge of these two companies.

Jin Zhina received the order and quickly followed it.

An hour later, Jin Zhina replied to Yang Chen.

Because Sounding Technology lacks financial support, it is very willing to meet with Yang Chen to discuss cooperation.

They even suggested that if it was inconvenient for Yang Chen to go to Ancheng, they could rush to Haicheng to meet him immediately.

However, the Yuanhang Group was unwilling to meet with Yang Chen. As for the reason, the other party did not say.

If you think about it, you can guess that it must be the Ye family and the Xiao family that don't let Zhu Wenhai meet Yang Chen.

They should also be able to guess that Yang Chen would not want to see Zhu Wenhai for no reason, there must be something going on.

Therefore, it is the safest choice for Zhu Wenhai not to meet Yang Chen.

The headquarters of Yuanhang Group is in Haicheng. If Zhu Wenhai doesn't know how to praise him, then let Mayor Wang contact him.

Now let's go to Anseong to investigate the situation of Sounding Technology Company.

Yang Chen asked Jin Zhina to buy a plane ticket, and the two flew to Ancheng together.

The chairman of Sounding Technology is Zhang Baoguo.

In order to express the importance he attached to Yang Chen, Zhang Baoguo specially ordered all employees in the company to stop work for an hour and line up to welcome Yang Chen's arrival.

Even the cleaning aunt came, making it very grand.

Yang Chen is quite disgusted with this kind of formalism.

However, this was Zhang Baoguo's intention, and it was hard for Yang Chen to say anything unpleasant.

"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be so polite. Let everyone go back to work. I want to see a normally operating sounding technology, not a carefully prepared sounding technology." Yang Chen said very directly.

Zhang Baoguo laughed loudly and said: "Dr. Yang is really different. Please come with me."

After speaking, Zhang Baoguo waved his hand to the secretary.

The secretary understood and quickly waved to dozens of employees before everyone dispersed.

The uncles and aunts who were responsible for cleaning and guarding the door started talking.

"Who is this person? He has such a big reputation? The last time the mayor came to inspect our place, we didn't see the boss engaging in such a big showdown!"

"I don't know either. People in the office should know."

"No matter who it is, it's definitely not simple. Let's go and ask."

…

Uncles and aunts stopped the employees sitting in the office and asked them who the young man was.

After all, everyone has a tendency to gossip.

"Yang Chen, that rich man who is very popular on the Internet now, the one who can make more than one billion a day. I heard the boss said that he wanted to invest in our company, so I came here to check it out. If we can reach a cooperative relationship with him, will we be able to use it? We’ve run out of money. We make more than a billion dollars a day, and we can’t spend it all.”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly became excited.

"I just said that it looks familiar. He must be the Yang Chen who played a live broadcast on Douyin that day to fight against the vegetable seller."

"Yes, yes! When you said that, I remembered it. I also watched the live broadcast that night, and it was indeed him."

"God, I make more than a billion dollars a day. I have 10,000 money printing machines at home working 24 hours a day to print so much money."

"We don't have to worry about how he made his money. We just need to know one thing. As long as we can reach cooperation with him, our company will take off."

"Can you buy social security for me?"

"Aunt Wang, you have some ambitions. Our company has taken off, and you just want to buy social security."

"Ha ha……"

It can be seen from the conversations among the employees that the sounding company has been troubled by funds for a long time, and everyone has a welcoming attitude towards Yang Chen.

They all look forward to the boss being able to negotiate a cooperation with Yang Chen.

However, sounding technology is a business that Zhang Baoguo spent his life's savings and connections to start.

Can he easily sell it to Yang Chen?
