Chapter 1080: Financing Plan Terminated
The next day, Shi Lei got up at six o'clock. He went for a run in a good mood, bought some breakfast and came back, ready to have breakfast with Song Miaomiao.
Song Miaomiao was quite surprised when she saw the breakfast. She happily jumped down from the stairs. Without washing her face or brushing her teeth, she picked up a soup dumpling and was about to put it in her mouth.
"Be careful!" Shi Lei shouted, but the phone in his pocket rang anxiously.
Shi Lei frowned. It was just after seven o'clock. Who would call him so early?
When he took it out and saw that it was Shi Qiang, Shi Lei's heart suddenly sank.
Before the press conference of Series C financing was about to be held, Shi Qiang suddenly called, which was by no means a good sign.
Shi Lei made a gesture to Song Miaomiao and said, "Brush your teeth and wash your face first, and then eat after you come down. The temperature should be just right."
After that, he answered the phone and said, "Brother Shi Qiang, is something wrong?"
Shi Qiang's voice was so gloomy that water could drip from his eyes.
He said: "Last night, Xu Zhida called me and asked me how far the C-round financing was. I told him that I would hold a press conference today, and he asked me to send the press release of the C-round financing press conference. Show it to him and ask me to give him all the valuations and plans involved in this financing.”
Shi Lei frowned and said, "Did you give it to him?"
"I can only give it to him. He is the major shareholder. He asked to see these documents. I have no reason to refuse."
Shi Lei sighed and said, "Okay, I understand. He must have told you just now that Series C financing cannot be given to the Wei family, right?"
"Yes, he asked to suspend the press conference. He also said that his lawyer will be waiting for me at the company at nine o'clock sharp to handle this matter on his behalf."
Shi Lei sighed again and said: "You have stayed in the United States for too long. You can completely ignore his call last night and tell him that even if you want to see all the documents, you have to wait until work today before giving them to him. Yesterday It's a day off and it's already evening, so he has no reason to ask you to hand over the documents to him immediately."
Shi Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized. Indeed, if he ignored Xu Zhida, he could have held a press conference in advance before going to work today that was originally scheduled for 10:30. It was nothing more than paying more travel expenses for the news media. Wait until After signing contracts with the Wei family and the other three companies, even if Xu Zhida had extraordinary abilities, he would still be unable to make a comeback.
Shi Qiang said calmly: "I didn't expect him to be like this."
Shi Lei said helplessly: "Okay, I understand. I'll go to the company in a moment. Before I arrive, don't talk to the lawyer and just leave him alone."
Song Miaomiao came over with concern and asked in a low voice: "Something happened?"
Shi Lei nodded, holding the phone, thinking in his mind, and said subconsciously: "There is something wrong with the company. Don't worry about it. You brush your teeth and wash your face and then have breakfast. After breakfast, we will go out together."
Song Miaomiao took two steps and then said, "Can you still eat? How about you go first?"
Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "I just finished running, and I'm covered in sweat. I need to wash up. Anyway, the other party won't arrive at the company until nine o'clock, so there's no point in me leaving early."
Song Miaomiao then went upstairs, while Shi Lei took the phone and walked around the room. After thinking for a long time, he called Zhang Meimei, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Teacher Shi? So early?" Although there has been no contact with Shi Lei for a long time, and Shi Lei has stopped tutoring Zhang Liangliang long ago, Zhang Meimei is still called Zhang Meimei.
Shi Lei said: "I'm sorry, Lawyer Zhang, for bothering you so early."
"It's okay. I'm up too. I'm getting ready to pack up and go to the law firm. What, is there something wrong?"
"I have something to ask you. This is our company's business..."
"Teacher Shi, you are too polite. I was originally Qixuan's legal advisor, but in the past year, Qixuan doesn't seem to have many legal problems. Some contract matters are also handled by other lawyers in our law firm. Yes. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Only then did Shi Lei remember that Zhang Meimei was Qixuan's legal adviser, so he said bluntly: "You know our company's equity structure..."
He briefly described Xu Zhida's situation, and Zhang Meimei said: "From a legal perspective, he does have such power. Let's go to Qixuan directly and see if I can negotiate with the other party's lawyer. Even if it doesn't work, Wu I have basically dealt with Dong’s lawyers, and I have some friendships with them. I’ll see if I can help you find out some of the reasons.”
Shi Lei immediately said: "Then I'll trouble you..."
Zhang Meimei suddenly said: "Oh, my car was sent for maintenance yesterday..."
Shi Lei said: "It's okay, I'll go pick you up."
"Oh, that's fine. I just sorted out the situation on the way. However, I no longer live in the original place and have moved to the south..."
Shi Lei said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I don't live in the city now, I live in Jiudachu. When did you move, Lawyer Zhang? You didn't tell me anything about your move."
"Jiudachu, that's very close. I'm in the neighborhood next to yours. So, let me prepare first, and then I'll wait for you at the gate of Jiudachu."
Shi Lei hung up the phone, ran upstairs, took a shower in another room, and changed his clothes. When he came down, Song Miaomiao also happened to come downstairs.
Zhang Meimei's call also came in. She told Shi Lei that she had arrived at the door.
Shi Lei simply said: "How about this, Lawyer Zhang, you come in, you give the phone to the security guard at the door, I will come to tell him. After entering the door, turn right and the first house is my home. I bought breakfast. I am so anxious to find you, I guess you haven't eaten yet, come in and have some breakfast, we can talk while eating."
Zhang Meimei gave the phone to the security guard, and after Shi Lei greeted her, the security guard simply led Zhang Meimei directly to the door of Shi Lei's house.
After letting her in, Shi Lei smiled and said: "Lawyer Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Zhang Meimei nodded and said: "It's been more than half a year, you are a busy man now... Oh, Miss Song is here too?"
Song Miaomiao of course knew Zhang Meimei, smiled and greeted, and the three of them sat down together.
While eating breakfast, Zhang Meimei asked directly: "Teacher Shi, please tell me the specific situation in detail."
The time doesn't matter anyway. Even if the lawyer over there arrives, Shi Qiang will follow Shi Lei's instructions to leave him alone, and no one will pay attention to him. Shi Lei also explained the situation to Zhang Meimei with confidence.
After listening to this, Zhang Meimei was full and said, "I will pretend that I didn't hear about the proxy holding. For me, or for any legal worker, we don't care whether it is a proxy holding or not. We only need to confirm one thing, who is the name of the shares. The shares under the name of the Xu family's children are exactly the same as yours, right?"
Shi Lei nodded and gulped down a mouthful of milk.
"And, you have calculated that he has the majority of shareholder support and the number of people, right?"
Shi Lei nodded again, and Zhang Meimei said, "Now, Teacher Shi, you have only one advantage, that is, you are still the chairman of the board. But you have been the chairman of the board for more than three months, right?"
Shi Lei nodded again.
Zhang Meimei sighed and said, "This is difficult. As Xu Zhida's major shareholder, he can ask you to temporarily suspend this financing plan..."
