But he looked around and felt that it didn't seem to be the case. Combining several other documents, he speculated that the intention of the Senate was to build a subsidiary under the Nanyang Company and publicly offer shares in the name of the subsidiary, so as to avoid indigenous shareholding. The impact on the parent company is also conducive to doing various things in the name of the subsidiary company. Later, it can also continue to establish subsidiaries, such as South Asia Company, East Rome Company and so on. But the writing in this document is too vague. Is 51% + 5% + 5% the shares of Nanyang Company or the shares of Southeast Asia Development? Is Southeast Asia Development going for a public offering as a subsidiary of Nanyang Corporation with 39% of its shares? Or is it that Southeast Asia Development holds 39% of Nanyang Corporation's subsidiaries? Chu He tried to draw a share structure diagram and drew three or four plans in a row. He felt that any one of them might be what the Senate wanted.
He felt that this "guidance" might have been written by someone who was not a financial expert. Not to mention the inexplicable calculation error, the vague formulation fully showed that he was a layman.
"In the 17th century, laymen still led experts," he complained in his heart. His mind had turned into a ball of mush. He stood up and walked to the window. It was already dark. Under the night, the Pearl River was illuminated by fishing lanterns. From time to time, the sound of a whistle could be heard in the distance. Workers on the night shift on the dock Squatting under the street lamp and smoking, occasionally burst into laughter. Chu He took a deep breath of the crisp air by the river in early winter, and sat back at the table, thinking: Forget it, I won't guess what the Senate's intention is, I will hand over the plan that I think is reasonable. Let him worry about his surroundings and decide which plan he wants to make. Anyway, the valuation of Nanyang Company has been determined, with a total of 2 million shares at one yuan per share. My plan is to issue a total of 80,000 shares, which is only 4%. Nanyang Company can get started by paying such a small amount of stock. No matter how the ownership structure changes, it will not have much impact. .
Thinking of this, he suddenly became enlightened and began to write the equity structure.
The next day, relevant meetings continued to be held in the city government.
This meeting is actually a fundraising meeting. Not many people were present. Except for Liu Xiang, most of them are veterans of the financial sector.
The new plan is actually not much different from Chuhe's old plan. However, in accordance with the "spirit" of Liu Xiang yesterday, the rhetoric was revised, and all the "technical means" intended to "defeat the debt" were deleted - not only that, but related revenue expectations were also specifically added.
"...We are planning to issue a small batch of bonds in advance. The initial preparation is 20,000 silver dollars. The interest rate is tentatively set at 10% annual income. Of course, we can discuss this with Delong for details..." The people around were talking very excitedly.
"The term is three years, and interest is paid once at the end of each year. The interest rate is certainly not high, but based on the consciousness of this group of people, they will never not buy it. After all, it is not much, and each person cannot get a few thousand. The key is to draw the big pie. , saying that the Senate is about to issue shares of Nanyang Company. The company’s prospects are very good, the dividends are large, and the stock price has risen. In the future, they will make a lot of money. They can use the bond purchase share to buy shares of Nanyang Company at a ratio of 2:1. These people know the elders well. The strength and policies of the Senate, and it is very likely that they personally participated in the development activities of the Nanyang Company, and boarded the ship of the Senate very early. They made a lot of money from the Senate. The Senate privately invited them to apply for the purchase. They are It's impossible not to accept it..." The introductions continued, and Liu Xiang frowned as he listened.
"In this way, we have 10,000 yuan of stocks and 20,000 yuan of bonds, and then it is announced in the Lingao Times that Nanyang shares have increased by 20% within a week. The previous shareholders can freely buy and sell, or they can sell to the Senate. Then use the Senate The power of public opinion controlled by the court amplified this matter, and it was necessary to use various channels to convey the matter to other non-core gentry owners, so that everyone would know the best. Use the money-making effect to attract them to participate in the second issue of the bond, This round can still be targeted and issued to major chambers of commerce, large clans, etc. However, the interest and stock allotment ratio of this bond issuance have changed. The interest is 8%, the term is four years, the stock allotment ratio is 5:2, and the total amount is 50,000. Yuan. In this way, we completed the placement of 100,000 yuan in two rounds..."
"...Finally, we will repeat this process and allocate the last 100,000 yuan of debt and equity in the third week at an interest rate of 3:1 and 8%, thus completing the task of raising 200,000 yuan in 30 days." People around said proudly After finishing the "financial operations" explanation as "as simple as possible", I found that Liu Xiang didn't look very good.
This is... the benefits are not in place yet? The surrounding people quickly came up with the expected "profit transfer plan" and said: "When the preliminary financing enters the operational stage, we can start another round of financing. This time I think we can tie it with public bonds such as the 'Guangzhou Municipal Urban Construction Fund'" , everyone can spread the distribution costs, hahahaha..."
Liu Xiang quickly raised his hand to stop the malicious show of cuteness around him.
"Xiao Zhou, let me ask a few questions first!"
"Liu Dafu, tell me." The people around him called out the usually joking "Liu Dafu" without even realizing it.
Liu Xiang didn't care about this, and asked directly to the core: "Issue...20,000 bonds in advance, right?" He specifically looked at the records he made, and saw everyone around him nodding, and then asked: "Then , where is the collateral?”
"It's only 20,000, what kind of collateral do you need..." Surang thought in his mind, but he was confident - although the assets of the Southeast Asian company in his hand were not clear yet, he still didn't pay attention to a mere 20,000 silver dollars. At the same time, he really didn't think that such a huge Guangzhou government, with a mere 20,000 yuan, still needed collateral? The famous scene of "You want an imperial edict? Come here, let's write one for him!" was silently going on in the theater in his mind, and he tried to say: "This is only the first installment of 20,000 yuan, so there is no need for any collateral..."
"Indeed, it's only 20,000 yuan. There's really no need for collateral. I'll gather the 'progressives' for a cocktail party and introduce you. The task of 20,000 yuan will be easy." Liu Xiang suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Little Zhou, you have been inspecting everywhere these days, sometimes in Danzhou, sometimes in Foshan, inside and outside Guangzhou, but you seem to have only been inspecting for three or four days!"
The people around him were slightly shy when they heard this, and just when they were about to answer, Liu Xiang's second question came: "Over there, Director Zheng, it seems you haven't talked to her yet?"
It's not too late...but I can't answer like that.
"Director Zheng is very busy, and I don't have the right time..."
Liu Xiang raised his hand again, stopped the conversation around him, and said: "That's a pity. I don't know if you have any experience in your recent research. Director Zheng and I just came to Guangzhou to hand over to Guo Yi. , I remember that I asked Xiao Zhang to write an article and submit it to Daystar. The title seemed to be "A Brief Examination of the Action Logic of Contemporary Businessmen in Guangzhou". Maybe you haven't read it?"
Hey, Zhang Yunmi is the author, and behind you are the resident elders of Guangfu. The corresponding author is you. Who doesn’t think this is what you use to pamper others? Go and take a closer look! Why is there really no material in it?
"Oh, I might have really missed it. I'll go to the library of our city government to borrow it later. Please read it carefully?" The people around were immediately cautious.
"That's not necessary. The main point here is that in this time and space, in the minds of businessmen in this era, the 'official government' actually has no bullshit credit. It can even be said that the credit of the government in the Ming Dynasty is directly minus infinity. Let's enter Guangzhou. The city has done so many things, including this fight against the plague, to establish such a meager credibility."
"But we..." Liu Xiang pointed to the surroundings and then to himself: "We can't take such a meager credit too seriously. Most businessmen in this era are still individuals recognized by credit units."
"Now, tell me, who did they lend these 20,000 silver dollars to when I held this cocktail party, and who lent it to you?" Liu Xiang spoke this sentence slower and slower, and his tone became more serious. .
When the people around heard this, they had no choice but to cup their fists and say, "It's you, brother!" I was thinking: Is this Liu Xiang asking me for personal benefits? Then you can give him a few points in the allotment...
"Then, I, Mr. Liu, am only worth 20,000 taels?" Liu Xiang continued: "Back then, He Rubin asked a wealthy businessman from Guangzhou to 'support the army', and he asked for 300,000 taels, and he got it done without any proof. . I, Mr. Liu, have worked hard in Guangzhou with a group of friends for several years, and we have overcome great disasters. How about being an airborne military leader?"
Um? Do you think I look down on him? Your defensive range is a bit strange... Also, what do you mean by saying this? Are you going to use your personal credit to help me wrap up the 200,000 yuan? But yes, asking him, Old Liu, to come forward and just spend 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is really not very authentic...
"Then let me ask you again, what do you think of my position as the mayor of Guangzhou?" Liu Xiang did not care about the answers around him and continued to ask pressing questions.
The people around didn't understand what Liu Xiang wanted to express for a while, so they could only respond vaguely: "Uh... ok..."
"Okay, that's good. As long as you sit down and copy some ideas from the old time and space, you can get achievements, right?"
"right."
"Then it is conceivable that, assuming that it has been five years since I served one term, at least there will be four more terms in the future, and it will be our elders who will sit in this position, right?"
"right."
"From now on, there is a high probability that the one of our children who is the best will sit in this position, right?"
My baby probably won't be able to catch up with the trip you mentioned... The people around me were complaining in their hearts, but they could only respond: "Yes."
"Then should I start this way and use my personal credit and identity to provide unsecured financing for investment projects?" Liu Xiang continued: "For example, if I ask myself to be the pastor of Guangzhou next year, recommend your wife to take over as Guangzhou pastor. Mayor, your Nanyang Company is unable to honor the first year's repayment due to excessive expansion. Do you think your wife is sitting in a position where you can earn achievements, or is she stuck in a bad vegetable garden?"
