Chapter 14 Situation Change

At the same time, otto Technology.

Chang You was restless, pacing back and forth in his office.

"Still can't reach President Pei."

"Huang Sibo doesn't have President Pei's news either."

"Forget it, I have to make my own decision."

Chang You considered it for a long time, feeling that this matter couldn't be delayed any longer, and immediately gathered his subordinates for a meeting.

"The situation has changed."

"This morning, 'A Beautiful Tomorrow' was released, and the response was very enthusiastic, even exceeding our initial expectations!"

"So, I think we can activate the second plan."

"Xiao Jiang, please introduce it to everyone."

The young man next to him had already handed out the printed plan to everyone present, then came to the projector screen and began to introduce the alternative plan that had been formulated earlier.

"Regarding the appearance of our mobile phone, several plans have been designed."

"As everyone knows, these appearance plans are very similar, because President Pei once clearly requested that the logo must be large and eye-catching enough."

"Therefore, we designed many different styles of logos, and also designed the color scheme of the phone case for these logos."

"Originally, we finalized a minimalist logo, but with the release of 'A Beautiful Tomorrow', our plan must also change accordingly."

"At that time, the crew of 'A Beautiful Tomorrow' once solicited logo advertising plans from us. Now, the advertising plan we gave has been filmed by them and has also appeared in the movie, for example, this one."

Xiao Jiang pressed a button, and an advertising video began to play on the large screen of the projector.

A drone comes to pick up takeout, but the takeout is too far away, so the restaurant owner casually takes his mobile phone, connects it to the drone to power it, and the drone travels through the great desert, rainstorms, and various harsh weather conditions, and still has more than 30% of its battery left after returning.

The logo on this phone is one of the logos that otto Technology did not choose.

This is the most futuristic logo of all the designs, which is the one abstracted from the four letters of otto, a bit like an infinity symbol, very postmodern.

Xiao Jiang said: "The main reason why we didn't choose this logo before is that we felt it was a bit too cool. We are a new mobile phone brand, and we can't quite hold it."

"But based on the current situation, the audience's acceptance of this advertisement and the appearance of this mobile phone is quite high!"

"At the same time, considering that the popularity of the movie will continue to increase in the future, launching a mobile phone with such an appearance will definitely win the favor of many movie fans."

"In addition, the production of this batch of mobile phones is not high. Making it a product for fans may not be a bad direction."

After Xiao Jiang finished speaking, everyone began to discuss.

"I always thought this logo looked the best!"

"These advertisements about mobile phones in the movie are very well-made. Even if the movie is taken off the screens in the future, we can take these advertisements to video websites or TV programs for advertising and promotion, which can greatly save costs, so the mobile phone must be made into this shape!"

"I also think it would be a waste not to use such a good advertisement."

"Uh... President Chang, what does President Pei think?"

Everyone looked at Chang You.

Chang You hesitated for a moment: "I haven't been able to contact President Pei yet, I guess he must be very busy during this time."

Everyone looked at each other.

"I don't think President Pei would object to this matter, right?"

"It is said that President Pei wrote the script for this movie, and President Pei also made the decision not to bid the advertisements inside to the outside world. Does that mean President Pei had planned to do this from the beginning?"

"Well, that seems to make some sense."

Everyone discussed it together, the advertisement has already been made, and the audience also recognizes it very much, there is no reason not to use it, right?

Chang You immediately made a decision: "Okay, in that case, let's use this logo and appearance, and hurry up to produce a new plan according to this logo and give it to the foundry!"

...

Dream Chasing Ventures.

He Desheng looked at the screen of his mobile phone, with a tangled expression on his face.

"President Pei still hasn't replied to my message."

"Should I... make a call?"

"President Pei shouldn't be busy, right? It always feels a bit abrupt."

During this period, the popularity of the Xue Ba Kuai Lai (Study God is Coming) project is still being hyped up. In addition to the publicity done by He Desheng with the original funds, the other investors are also paying out of their own pockets to promote the Xue Ba Kuai Lai project.

The reason is very simple, with popularity, Xu De Education will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it!

During this period, He Desheng has been following President Pei's instructions, slowly selling the shares of the Xue Ba Kuai Lai company.

Since last week, He Desheng has participated in several shareholder meetings of the Xue Ba Kuai Lai company.

His identity is a core member of the Xue Ba Kuai Lai's main creative team, and also the head of Dream Chasing Ventures. These shares are all being managed for President Pei.

After all, President Pei is too busy, it is impossible to be present every time a small amount of shares is sold, and participate in those tedious transactions.

The task of these shareholder meetings is very simple, which is to discuss the issue of share transactions with representatives of Xu De Education.

The other shareholders have been selling their shares one after another, and Xu De Education's share in the Xue Ba Kuai Lai company has been increasing.

One investor who originally invested 3 million yuan sold all of his shares in one go, directly selling them for 8 million yuan, more than doubling his investment!

Currently, the valuation of the Xue Ba Kuai Lai project has reached nearly 40 million yuan. Several investors want to cash out and leave the market. They will definitely be slightly cut in price by Xu De Education when selling shares, but even so, they have all made a lot of money.

He Desheng saw that Xu De Education seemed to have been fooled by this group of old foxes.

Of course, it can't be said to be fooling, Xu De Education really wants this App.

As a very wealthy educational institution, Xu De Education has always hoped to have such an App that can continue to expand its influence, and the acquisition is equivalent to gilding its face.

President Li and the others want to cash out, and Xu De Education wants to gild itself. Everyone is willing to cooperate, and there is nothing to criticize.

Of course, He Desheng will not expose it, because he knows that the purpose of this project from the beginning was to cash out, right?

Now that President Li and the other investors have paved the way, He Desheng is naturally happy to go downhill and has no reason to be nosy.

In order to obtain absolute control of this project, Xu De Education's desire to acquire is very strong, especially for the shares on He Desheng's side.

And He Desheng understood why President Pei had always emphasized selling slowly.

Obviously, it is to maximize profits!

As the popularity of the Xue Ba Kuai Lai project continues to rise, Xu De Education has more and more shares in its hands, and the price of acquiring the final shares is also getting higher and higher.

After selling several times one after another, the shares left in He Desheng's hands have reached the bottom line previously requested by President Pei, which is about 20%.

Especially for the last transaction, in order to make its shareholding reach the 67% control line, Xu De Education acquired the shares at a high price, willingly becoming a sucker.

According to the valuation of nearly 40 million yuan, the approximate income from selling all the shares is 15 million yuan. After deducting the initial investment of 2 million yuan, this project has made a net profit of more than 10 million yuan so far, and still holds 20% of the shares.

Now He Desheng is struggling with one point, should he sell the remaining 20% ​​of the shares?

This is also a large sum of money!

Of course, He Desheng didn't dare to sell it without authorization, after all, President Pei said that he must keep 20%.

But if he doesn't sell it, he always feels that this cash out is not clean, and it seems to conflict with President Pei's original intention.

Or... this matter is not handled neatly.

After thinking for a long time, He Desheng decided to call President Pei.

...

Pei Qian was lying dead on the bed when his phone rang.

"Huh? He Desheng is calling?"

Pei Qian hurriedly answered the phone.

"Hello? What's the matter?"

He Desheng on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to expect that President Pei would answer the phone so quickly, and it didn't seem like he was very busy.

"Oh, President Pei, I have sold the shares in my hand to only 20% according to your previous requirements. Should I continue to sell? If I sell all of them, it is estimated that I can sell another four to five million."

Pei Qian: "...?"

He couldn't quite connect with He Desheng's channel for a while.

It's already sold to 20% so quickly? And selling this 20% can earn four to five million?

I remember the previous share was 60%...

Then, in order to打击 (dǎjī, strike/hit) the confidence of other investors, how much money must have been earned from the stocks sold?!

Pei Qian hurriedly asked: "So what is the valuation now?"

He Desheng truthfully replied: "About 40 million yuan, President Pei."

Pei Qian: "?"

That's not right, the script shouldn't be like this?

It stands to reason that my constant selling of stocks is not a very obvious message of running away? Other investors should sell with me, and then everyone's confidence will be crushed to pieces, the company's valuation will collapse in an instant, and no one will want the shares...

As a result, so many shares have been sold, how can the company's valuation still be rising?

When I last had an impression, the company's valuation seemed to be 25 million yuan?

Pei Qian fell into silence, he didn't know what to say.

He Desheng didn't dare to urge him, thinking that President Pei was thinking about some very profound investment issues and the next response strategy.

Pei Qian thought for half a minute and asked, "Then, what about President Li's shares?"

He Desheng said: "Like us, they have all been sold to Xu De Education. Xu De Education spent a lot of money to acquire shares, and currently holds more than 67% of the absolute control line."

"Of course, it is precisely because of this that Xu De Education is no longer so eager for the 20% of the shares in our hands, and it is impossible to acquire them at the previous price. I think we can negotiate up to about four to five million."

Pei Qian's head was full of question marks.

What the hell is Xu De Education?

It seems that there was no such thing among the previous investors?

After being stunned for a moment, Pei Qian suddenly realized.

Damn it, this has been炒热度 (chǎo rè dù, hyping up popularity), something has happened! There are outsiders messing things up!

It must be that Xu De Education has taken a fancy to the Xue Ba Kuai Lai App and took the initiative to take over, and it happened that many investors were selling shares, so it packed them all up!

Pei Qian instantly had a very bad premonition in his heart, he tentatively asked: "So, how much money did we sell the shares for in total?"

He Desheng said: "More than 15.6 million yuan, the specific number needs to be checked, please wait a moment..."

Pei Qian felt a little dizzy: "No need to check..."

It's over!

This matter is a bit difficult to deal with!

It was said that at the beginning, I just wanted to lose two million, but I don't know how I inexplicably operated it, but I made more than 13 million instead!

What the hell did I do!

Pei Qian tried hard to calm his emotions, coughed lightly twice: "If, I mean if, I want to buy all these shares back now, it should cost... a lot of money, right?"

He Desheng chuckled: "President Pei, you are so humorous. It's not about the money, Xu De Education wants absolute control of this project. They just bought it, how could they sell it again?"

Pei Qian: "...Then never mind."

He Desheng felt that President Pei seemed to be about to hang up the phone, and quickly asked: "Then, President Pei, should we sell the remaining 20% ​​of our shares?"

Pei Qian: "Don't sell!"

With a "beep" sound, the phone hung up.

He Desheng looked at the phone screen in confusion: "It seems that President Pei still has a backup plan for this matter, but... why do I feel that President Pei is a little unhappy?"
