Chapter two hundred and fourteen all the way to red
Today, Shen Group held a board meeting to discuss how to save Shen Group's stock issue.
Chen Kangquan, who is still acting as the chairman, has a look even worse than having eaten bitter gourd. The crisis during this period made him feel as if he was ten years older and his hair was a big white.
He looked around for a week, barely squeezed out a hint of embarrassing smile, and said in a deep voice: "Today we will gather everyone to hold a board meeting to discuss how to save our Shen family's stock. Everyone knows that Shen family's stock must not fall any further. Once it falls below the 10 yuan mark, it will be a devastating blow to the confidence of investors. It will be very difficult to save it again. Our Shen family's stock used to be a high-performance stock, but now once it falls below the 10 yuan, it will become a recognized junk stock! The situation is very serious. Is there any good way for everyone?"
As soon as this statement was made, every director here bowed his head and said nothing. He thought about all the ways he could think of, but he still couldn't save Shen's stock. It was a foregone conclusion that the end of Shen's group is coming soon. Everyone was in a complicated mood, and each of them was as heavy as water, and none of them spoke.
After holding it in for about half an hour, Chen Kangquan's eyes fell on Shen Zhentang and asked in a deep voice: "Zhentang, you are ordered to be in danger. My brother trusts you very much. Do you have any good solutions?"
Shen Zhentang thought for a while and said seriously: "I have always had an idea in my mind, but I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I just don't know whether it is feasible or not, so I haven't spoken."
"What's your thought?" Chen Kangquan asked hurriedly.
"Since the Shen Group has reached a critical moment of life and death, although my method is to kill a chicken to get eggs, it is better than admitting defeat and going bankrupt now. As long as you can survive this difficulty, there will always be a way to overcome the crisis." Shen Zhentang's face was not very good. Although he replaced his elder brother Shen Zhenwei and became the president of Shen Group, anyone who took over this mess would have to be hot.
In the past, there were many problems within the Shen Group. However, because in the past, it has always regarded itself as the top 100 listed companies, although there are problems, they are all management-related. From a business perspective, Shen Group's core industry performance is still good, and this superficial prosperity has covered up many hidden dangers.
Now, a large amount of money has been swept away by Qiao Yanqiu, and the group has fallen into a serious financial crisis. These long-standing problems have finally erupted in a concentrated manner and are out of control.
"Zhentang, just say that as long as you can keep the stock of Shen Group from falling into junk stocks, it's fine!" Chen Kangquan stared at Shen Zhentang and said anxiously.
"Then let me tell you. All the non-performing assets of Shen's Group have been divested and some marginal industries have been auctioned. However, the funds obtained, except for some of the funds maintained by the group's daily expenses, are all used to protect the market. However, the force that suppressed Shen's Group's stock is too powerful. In order to protect Shen's stock, I suggest starting from now on, streamlining institutions, reducing expenses, and laying off employees!" Shen Zhentang said helplessly.
"What? Are you going to lay off employees? This is not a trivial matter!" Chen Kangquan said in surprise.
"Yes, I know it's not a trivial matter, but the current situation of Shen's Group, it's not enough to lay off employees. I calculated that Shen's Group now has more than 5,000 employees. In addition to its headquarters, it is also distributed in branches in major cities across the country. The monthly salary expense is 35 million! This figure is too heavy, and you must get rid of the burden and go into battle lightly, so layoffs are imperative." Shen Zhentang said seriously.
"Then what is the approximate proportion of layoffs you plan to lay off?" Chen Kangquan asked.
"It's about 30-40%. Only by streamlining the government can we overcome the difficulties! This will save 10 million to 15 million in salary expenses every month... Of course, this time, the layoffs will first adopt the automatic application method. If ordinary employees voluntarily apply for resignation, their monthly salary will be doubled and their social insurance will be paid for one month, so that they can be fully prepared to find their next job and get together and part with each other." Shen Zhentang sighed and said the plan for layoffs. He felt uncomfortable, but there was no way. At the current situation of Shen's Group, he would have to take this move sooner or later.
"As you said, layoffs save money, but the money can't be raised immediately. How can we keep the market today?" Chen Kangquan asked anxiously.
"I still have some funds on hand, and I can probably hold on for a while." Shen Zhentang quickly looked down at his watch and said in a deep voice: "It will be open in the afternoon!"
Everyone's eyes were on the instant electronic analysis screen of Shen's stock in the middle. As soon as the market opened in the afternoon, it was slightly suppressed, dropping from 10.10 to 10.05.
Shen Zhentang immediately called the finance office and asked the traders of the Shen family to protect the market immediately and strive to raise the stock to 10.5 yuan today.
As soon as he dropped his phone, Chen Kangquan's voice sounded next to him: "Zhentang, some people in our Shen family's stock are rising rapidly. Look, it has risen to 10.15 in just a while, and it is still rising!"
Shen Zhentang was excited and quickly checked the market trend. He murmured with a serious expression: "Who is helping us protect the market? What is the purpose?"
Rapidly rose by 5%... Shen's stock rose from 10.05 yuan frequently to 10.51 yuan, and it continued to rise, and it was rising all the way!
When Shen Zhentang, Shen Kangquan, and other directors saw such a dramatic change, everyone showed surprise on their faces and were secretly analyzing which institution was helping Shen to protect the market?
By the end of the evening, Shen Group's stock rose by more than 7%, and the stock price was approaching 11 yuan.
Shen Zhentang asked the company's trader and confirmed that no one had raised the stocks, and the company's funds currently do not have the ability to carry out such a large-scale rapid increase. It must have been done by a securities institution.
"Check it out quickly. Which institution holds heavy holdings of Shen's stock today?" Shen Zhentang quickly called the company's stock analyst and asked them to find out the main source of helping Shen's stock market protect the market this time.
************
A week later, Peng Wei, the marketing director of Tengyi Company who went abroad to inspect, came back and brought back a series of results from the inspection in India. He contacted three large electronic product sellers in the country and got back three contracts to sell Tengyi Yazhi tablets, and prepared to hand them over to the board of directors to discuss and decide which company to sign an agency sales contract with.
After Chen Yi met Peng Wei and these three contracts, he immediately convened a board meeting to discuss.
After some heated discussion and screening, everyone finally reached an agreement and decided to sign a sales contract with India's Braun Company. This company mainly engages in electronic product marketing in India. Its computer city and electronic world are spread throughout major cities in India. Its sales channels are very wide and the conditions for sales offered are also relatively appropriate.
After the board of directors discussed and decided, Peng Wei rushed to India again the next day with the contract and signed an agency sales contract with Bolang Company.
"Mr. Chen, the real identity issue of Xia Qian, the female reporter of the New York Times you asked me to investigate is already obvious." That afternoon, Public Relations Minister Lin Fei walked to Chen Yi's office with a piece of information and said to him with a smile.
"Are you a commercial spy?" Chen Yi asked hurriedly.
"According to the information I have at present, her identity as a commercial spy is absolutely true. Mr. Chen, look at this material." Lin Fei handed Chen Yi a dozen documents.
Chen Yi took it and looked carefully. The material listed ten cases of Chinese-related companies infringing on intellectual property rights of foreign companies, all of which were directly related to Xia Qian. Among them, five American companies sued Chinese-related companies for intellectual property rights. All of these Chinese-related companies involved in the case lost the case and compensated American companies with a large sum of money, two of which went bankrupt because of the loss of this lawsuit.
"Mr. Chen, have you seen it clearly? The bosses of those companies have had contact with Xia Qian, but they all lost the case later. It is certain that Xia Qian is a commercial female spy who was covered by a reporter from the New York Times!" Lin Fei said seriously.
"Okay, I understand, but can you find out who assigned her to investigate our company?" Chen Yi asked in a deep voice with his eyes flashing.
"Mr. Chen, this is too difficult. Xia Qian is a famous American commercial female spy with a deep background and very clever means. It may take a long time to investigate this matter clearly. And once it is alarmed, Xia Qian will likely disappear. It will be difficult for us to find her again." Lin Fei said.
"Well, I'll think of a solution!" Chen Yi said.
"Also, according to my investigation, Xia Qian often uses the method to give people hallucinogens and steal information. Although I haven't figured out the secret of why you were not caught last time, I still hope that you should be careful when you contact her in the future!" Lin Fei said with a serious face.
"Okay, thank you for your reminder, go and do your business!"
Chen Yi nodded, leaned against the chair, and fell into deep thought.
"Who assigned Xia Qian to investigate me? Could it be Apple?" He had a sudden inspiration and secretly thought in his mind that he must open a breakthrough from Xia Qian and dig out who was going to attack Tengyi Company. This is very important.
So, how can we open this breakthrough?
Chen Yi thought for a while, and suddenly a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself: "Xia Xi, Xia Xi, don't you always like to steal information from people with hallucinogens? Then I'll do it, 'Treat the same person'! I'll use hallucinogens, and let you submit!"
Thinking of this, he immediately used brain waves to activate the manufacturing system in his body, and looked for "psychedelic drugs" that can be made in the "medical beauty" column.
Suddenly, a hallucinogen called "Mando Misa" in the system appeared in his sight... (To be continued...)
