The shareholders fell silent.
They were very conflicted. The other party's purchase price was much lower than their psychological price, but the reason seemed to be very reasonable.
Perhaps he was thinking too well, but Huangpu was in a more difficult situation than he had imagined.
Yang Qian did not continue. She had said what she needed to say. Now was the time for the shareholders to weigh the pros and cons.
Xia Ze was very satisfied with Yang Qian's performance.
It was true that the shareholders of Huangpu wanted to sell the company, but convincing them to accept the offer was another matter.
Yang Bei did a good job. The seemingly unhurried pace of the negotiation was hidden in an invisible edge. She was not overbearing and did not want to lose face, but she made it difficult for the other party to resist. This was also the unique style of the future business queen. At this time, she was beginning to show her childish form.
After a long while, Big Gu smiled bitterly,""No matter what, 400 million is still too low…"
With his concession, things would be easier to handle.
An hour later, the transfer of the old brand was settled. The final price was 500 million yuan. All the major shares were sold.
The old Huangpu had lost its momentum. It was only his wishful thinking to sell at a high price. It was wiser to stop the loss in time.
If this dragged on, 500 million might not even be worth it. It was even possible for him to have negative assets like Mountain Deer and carry debts!
Xia Ze smiled. He wasn't surprised by this result.
Old Huangpu would either sell at a low price or go bankrupt. There was no third way!
"Ding! System mission, please turn the old Huangpu into a profitable business within three months and triple its market value!”
The crisp electronic voice in his mind made Xia Ze overjoyed.
Hehe, another system mission!
Turning losses into profits within three months and even doubling the market valuation was a little difficult!
However, it's not a problem for me!
On the way back to the company.
Xia Ze praised," Xiao Beibei, your performance in the acquisition negotiation was very good. I didn't misjudge you. You will definitely be an outstanding leader!"”
Yang smiled." Boss, you flatter me. This is because the former shareholders of Huangpu were forced by the situation. That's why the negotiations went so smoothly!"”
"Come on, you don't have to be modest. Although the former shareholders of Huangpu are in a hurry to sell the shares, it still takes skill to lower the price and convince them.”
Back at the company, Xia Ze immediately gathered Xiao Yu and Fatty for a meeting.
The company was currently solely owned by him, so no one else had the right to make decisions. However, there were still many things that needed to be done by these trusted aides.
Fatty was very excited when he heard that Xia Ze had acquired Huangpu.
"F * ck, Old Huangpu is an old brand in Shanghai. As long as you're in Shanghai, you've heard of this brand. Boss, you're buying it for 500 million.”
"Don't be too happy. Although the acquisition price of Huangpu is ideal, it's not easy to clean up this mess!”
Xiao Yu was as calm as ever.
Using 400 million to acquire a company that was valued at 5 billion at its peak seemed to be a big bargain on the surface. However, the old Huangpu was in a special situation. If the problem was not solved, it would only become a heavy burden and even drag down Vientiane Jiarun.
The biggest test was how to overcome the difficulties in front of them!
At that time, he would be able to evaluate whether the acquisition was worth it or not!
"Minister Xiao is right!"
Yang Qian agreed.
The situation that Huangpu was facing now was almost a dead end.
Even those old foxes who had experienced countless storms and waves would find it difficult to break out of this situation!
"Don't worry, I have my ways!"
Xia Ze had a plan in mind. If he hadn't thought of a way to get out of this situation, he wouldn't have taken over Huangpu.
Seeing his confident look, Yang Bei was looking forward to it.
Ever since he met this young boss, he had never disappointed anyone.
Xia Ze said slowly," The decline of Huangpu over the years has involved a lot of problems. The company's development strategy, management, inability to keep up with the times, and so on. However, the most important thing now is to solve the current reputation crisis!”
Xiao Yu and Yang Bei nodded at the same time. If the company's operations were not good, they could still improve it through changes. However, if their reputation was ruined and they were boycotted by consumers, it would be quite fatal!
If he didn't solve the reputation crisis first, nothing would work!
"Boss, what are your plans?"
Xiao Yu asked.
" Old Huangpu's food hygiene problem isn't as serious as I imagined. It's completely different from Shanlu's. It's just that it's been fermented by the online media fishing boats, causing its image to plummet. The online media fishing boats are like water. At the same time, we can also use the online media to salvage the old Huangpu's image!”
Xiao Yu and Yang Bei's eyes lit up. They understood Xia Ze's train of thought.
"Fatty, I have a task for you. Doesn't your father know a lot of media people and Internet trolls? Help me contact them, the more the better. I want them to write something for me.”
Cao Nianbo's father used to be a big boss in the underworld. Later, he started a company and started a proper business. In the process of clearing his name, those media people and Internet trolls played an important role.
"Boss, don't worry, it's a small matter!"
Fatty patted his chest and promised.
His father had heard from somewhere that Xia Ze had opened a food company, and that his first business was using African swine fever to stock up on raw chickens. His attitude towards Fatty Xia Ze had changed greatly. If he wanted to ask him for help with such a small matter, it would definitely not be a problem.
"Boss, are you planning to get the media to write some articles for Old Huangpu? This was one of the most commonly used public relations methods of many companies, and it might not have a very good effect!”
Xiao Yu raised her concerns.
"Hehe, that depends on your means." Give me a pivot point, and I will be able to lift up the Earth.'，Similarly, if you give me, Xia Ze, a foothold, I can also pry open the entire online world!”
Xia Ze narrowed his eyes, and a bright light flashed in them.
Before his rebirth, he had encountered an interesting business case.
The extremely heavy rain in a certain province caused a flood, and all walks of life extended their help.
As a domestic sports brand, Hongxing Erke donated 50 million yuan in supplies. It was a very normal thing for a big company, but it made countless netizens cry.
At that time, Hongxing Erke was facing a huge predicament. Last year, its net profit had lost more than 200 million yuan and it was on the verge of bankruptcy. However, over the years, whenever a major disaster occurred in the country, its figure would be on the donation list. This was a rare move.
In order to support Hongxing Erke, people went to the brand's official live broadcast room and offline stores to spend crazily, causing the originally slow-moving products to fall short of supply. Their reputation exploded, and their market value increased greatly.
Michelle Ice City also benefited from this incident. Some netizens dug up similar companies in the past, and Huangpu was one of them.
Unfortunately, Huangpu didn't have the same luck as the first two. It had long since gone bankrupt due to the reputation crisis caused by the food hygiene problem. The netizens could only sigh.
Regardless of whether the counterattack of Erke and Michelle Ice City was unintentional or a deliberate online marketing, they had undoubtedly succeeded!
Such a success was not impossible to replicate!
Although the Internet in this era was not as developed as before his rebirth, its power could not be underestimated. For example, Da Mi, which had just been established in the same year, had tasted the sweetness.
At present, there were not many companies that knew how to properly use this powerful weapon, but as a reborn person, he definitely knew!
Xia Ze's company in his previous life could not rise without successful online marketing, so he was quite familiar with it. Coupled with the inspiration from Hongxing Erke, as long as he added fuel to the fire, even if it was not as sensational as the Hongxing Erke incident in the future, it should not be a problem to restore the reputation of Huangpu!
Seeing his mysterious appearance, it seemed that he had no intention of revealing how to operate it for the time being, so Xiao Yu and Yang Bei did not ask further.
However, they were all looking forward to it.
