Chapter 836: Officially Announcing Yang Chen's Victory
Chapter 836 Officially declared Yang Chen's victory
To be honest, if he loses control, it is definitely the wisest choice for Zhang Yiming to get out completely.
However, the problem is that Yang Chen only wants to hold Douyin, but doesn't want to buy it completely.
From now on, as long as Yang Chen has the final say, as for who the other shareholders are, he doesn't care at all.
Even if Zhang Yiming wanted to sell the equity to be out of the game completely, Yang Chen would not accept the equity in his hand, he could only sell it to others.
However, Yang Chen has already raised the valuation to 200 billion meters of gold. Investors all over the world count as one, and no one will take over Zhang Yiming's equity at this price.
According to the performance of Kuaishou after its listing, the reasonable valuation of Douyin should be around 50 billion meters.
Investors can calculate the equity value based on this valuation at most, and it is impossible to calculate the equity value based on 150 billion or even 200 billion.
However, other shareholders have sold for 150 billion or even 200 billion, so Zhang Yiming is unlikely to be willing to sell his shares for 50 billion.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhang Yiming still felt that he couldn't be out of the game. He had to pay Yang Chen liquidated damages and get back the equity sold by his eldest brother and second brother.
The price for doing this is that Zhang Yiming himself has to free up 12 billion meters of gold to supply Yang Chen, so that it is possible to cancel the equity transfer agreement signed by the eldest brother and the second brother.
but!
This is only possible.
Because Yang Chen considered Zhang Yiming's desperation when formulating the equity transfer agreement,
Most likely a last ditch effort.
Therefore, there is a clause in the agreement. If Party B wants to break the contract and exchange for equity, Party A has the right to decide whether to agree or not according to its own situation, and Party A has the right to interpret.
Party A is Yang Chen, and Party B is Zhang Yiguang and Zhang Yiliang.
Therefore, as long as Yang Chen is unwilling to return the equity, even if Zhang Yiming is willing to pay 12 billion rice, it is impossible to do so.
Zhang Yiming recuperated in the hospital for two days, and also thought about it for two days.
In the end, he still dialed Yang Chen's number.
Soon, the phone was connected.
Yang Chen smiled and asked: "Why did Zhang Dong remember to call me? Do you have anything to advise?"
Zhang Yiming chuckled, and said, "Director Yang is really proud of himself. He speaks with a sense of superiority."
Yang Chen replied without showing any weakness: "Is Zhang Dong distorted? I speak normally, why do you think I'm showing off my sense of superiority?"
Zhang Yiming: "Haha... You won, and everything you said was right. I called you today to bring you great joy."
Yang Chen: "Oh? What a happy event?"
Zhang Yiming: "Aren't you going to buy Douyin? It's like Musk bought Twitter. I'm selling all the shares to you at a cheaper price. Isn't this a happy event?"
Yang Chen: "Mr. Zhang may have misunderstood. I haven't learned anything from Musk. The only reason why I bought the shares of Douyin is that I don't want to limit the flow of videos posted in the future. To be honest, I personally have no doubts about Douyin I have no interest in Douyin. I am not even interested in the so-called big data that peeks at the privacy of residents. Therefore, Zhang Dong obviously misunderstood why I bought the shares of Douyin.”
Zhang Yiming was so confused, he spent tens of billions of dollars to buy shares just so that the vibrato would not be restricted in the future?
He is crazy!
"Mr. Yang, how credible do you think your words are? You have spent more than 70 billion meters of gold, just so that your vibrato will not be restricted in the future? Who will you tell and who will believe it?" Zhang Yiming smiled wryly. road.
Yang Chen chuckled, and said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, anyway, this is my true thought. So, thank you, Director Zhang, for your kindness, I don't need your equity."
If he did this, Zhang Yiming would be embarrassed.
If Yang Chen doesn't buy his shares, he has to sell them to his investors at a low price. Doesn't that mean he lost a lot of money?
Zhang Yiming still refused to give up this idea, so he said to Yang Chen: "It's better for Director Yang to buy my equity. Otherwise, I will have to pay liquidated damages for my two brothers to take back the equity. At that time, I was still the major shareholder, and you spent so much money to acquire 49% of the shares, but in the end you couldn’t control the shares, wouldn’t the money be wasted?”
Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said: "I suggest that Mr. Zhang take a good look at the transfer agreement in the hands of your two brothers. If you want to break the contract, you have to agree to it. It's not that you can break the contract if you want to, understand?"
Zhang Yiming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "It seems that you have thought about everything a long time ago, and you have calculated every step."
Yang Chen: "I'm rich, not sick. After spending so much money, of course I have to plan every step. I have my own goals, and now that the goals have been achieved, I don't need to buy any excess equity. However, Don't worry, everything on Douyin will remain as usual. You are still the president, but you need to discuss with me about any major decisions in the future. And Zhang Nansheng, fire him immediately. As a CEO, no one should say anything If he doesn't know the words, he is not worthy of being a CEO."
Zhang Yiming was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, you have a lot of money, you have the final say. I will remove Zhang Nansheng now. Do you have a target candidate for the position of CEO?"
Yang Chen: "No, you decide. As I said just now, everything is business as usual, and you have the final say. But the company's major decisions, those that require major shareholders to decide, must be reviewed by me. Otherwise, any decision will be invalid. You must bear all the consequences arising from this."
Zhang Yiming: "Understood. Let's talk about it first. Call us if you have anything to do."
Yang Chen smiled, and hung up the phone.
Zhang Yiming's mood is very complicated. Yang Chen doesn't want his shares, so he can only sell them to others at a low price.
But if he sells it to others at a low price, even if he is willing, no one will dare to take it over.
The capital circle must already know about Yang Chen's holding of Douyin. Now whoever takes over the offer must get along with Yang Chen, a ruthless person. People who don't have enough self-confidence dare not get along with Yang Chen.
However, you have to try to know if it works.
Zhang Yiming replaced the CEO according to Yang Chen's request, while secretly looking for an investment institution to take over his equity.
In the morning, Douyin’s official Weibo and Douyin account made new announcements.
"After careful consideration by the company's shareholders' meeting and the board of directors, it is now decided to revoke the CEO position of Mr. Zhang Nansheng. For the time being, Mr. Zhang Yiming will concurrently serve as CEO. After finding a suitable candidate, Mr. Zhang Yiming will give up the position of CEO. Thank you Mr. Zhang Nansheng for being the CEO Since the contribution to the company, we will see you in the rivers and lakes."
Hundreds of millions of netizens flooded in again to leave comments.
"Awesome, this announcement declares Boss Yang's victory!"
"Capital eventually lost in the hands of more powerful capital."
"This can be regarded as a classic case of economics. A phone call from Zhang Nansheng caused him to lose his position as CEO, and at the same time caused Zhang Yiming to lose his position as a major shareholder."
"This incident fully demonstrates the truth that there is no money in this world that cannot solve problems. If there is, it must be that you don't have enough money."
