Chapter 398: The Generous Chen Ping

Hearing Chen Ping say this, Li Changhong gradually became silent. After a long time, Li Changhong took a deep look at Chen Ping, then suddenly laughed, nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Since President Chen has already said For this sake, if I don't help, it would be a bit impersonal."

"However, I still hope that even if Mr. Chen eventually quits Baidu and is no longer one of Baidu's shareholders, the friendship between us can last for a long time."

"If Baidu encounters any trouble in the future, I also hope that President Li can help, or when there are good opportunities, we can reach a lot of cooperation."

Hearing Li Changhong say this, Chen Ping was slightly relieved, and then nodded lightly without hesitation, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, don't worry, to be honest, Baidu has helped me a lot. Well, to put it badly, if it wasn't for the fact that Baidu's stock made me earn a lot of money, I'm afraid I wouldn't be where I am today."

"So Baidu is a benefactor to me. If there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, I will naturally not avoid Baidu."

Li Changhong smiled lightly, and then nodded slightly, but he didn't take it too seriously.

In fact, both Li Changhong and Chen Ping knew very well that what Chen Ping said was just to be polite. If there is a chance for cooperation in the future, Chen Ping still needs to consider from the perspective of interests. There is an opportunity to cooperate, which is really not good.

At this moment, although Li Changhong still has some doubts in his heart, he has no plans to continue to ask the truth.

He could see it. There is not much falsehood in what Chen Ping said. As the chairman of Baidu, Li Changhong's news is extremely well-informed. As long as he wants, he can easily know what happened inside the Pingyu Group.

After all, the current Pingyu Group has only just been established. Most of the employees of the Pingyu Group headquarters have just been recruited into the Pingyu Group. This is also with the assistance of Fengxiang Headhunting Company. personnel system.

And these employees who have just joined Pingyuan Group do not have a strong sense of belonging to Pingyu Group. After all, they have only joined Pingyu Group for less than a month.

Therefore, it is extremely simple to know the actions within the Pingyu Group.

When Li Changhong heard that Chen Ping wanted to sell Baidu's shares,

I have already secretly inquired about the internal situation of Pingyu Group.

Therefore, Li Changhong is also very clear that the current Pingyu Group is in a period of rapid development. There are important projects underway within the Pingyu Group and even among the several major subsidiaries of the Pingyu Group. The financial support required for these projects is also a terrifying figure.

Although Li Changhong does not have a deep understanding of these projects, Li Changhong can probably judge that the projects currently being carried out by Pingyuan Group need to invest at least 500 million yuan.

The real working capital of Pingyu Group will not exceed 300 million when it is fully calculated.

This also means that Pingyu Group is now facing funding problems, although such funding problems will only delay the development progress of Pingyu Group's ongoing projects, and will not really affect the Pingyuan Group. Life or death, however, as the chairman of Pingyu Group, Chen Ping must take into account the development of Pingyuan Group.

As a businessman, I never want such a financial problem to slow down the development of the group, because once the pace of development slows down, it is very likely to miss the opportunity.

The phrase "Bing Gui is very fast" is extremely applicable in the business world.

So after Chen Ping explained it, Li Changhong also believed what Chen Ping said.

He knew very well what Chen Ping meant. The funds that Pingyu Group is currently lacking are likely to end up in Baidu's stock.

This is also what Li Changhong can think of, Chen Ping's only solution.

It is precisely because of this that Li Changhong did not continue to ask questions.

After pondering for a while, Li Changhong also said softly, "If that's the case, I'll help President Chen, so, in the next few days, I will send Baidu's legal department to contact President Chen to recover the stock in President Chen's hands. , but I also hope that Mr. Chen can understand that Mr. Chen is so eager to transfer the shares of Baidu company in his hand, and it is such an internal transfer, which also has a certain adverse impact on our Baidu company, and it is even very likely that it will Bring some volatility to Baidu's stock."

"So this stock acquisition is likely to be lower than the market price. I hope President Chen doesn't blame me."

Chen Ping also smiled faintly, he had already expected Li Changhong to say such words.

However, Chen Ping didn't care too much, he just asked with a calm smile, "Mr. Li, can I ask what the final purchase price of the stock will be?"

Li Changhong pondered carefully.

At present, the stocks of Baidu in Chen Ping's hands are actually already in the investment department of Pingyu Group. Speaking of which, although the investment department of Pingyu Group is not too conspicuous, it is even just established. But in fact, the strength of the investment department of Pingyu Group should not be underestimated.

At present, the flow of funds within Pingyu Group has not been known to the outside world. After all, the 250 million funds were only transferred to the account of the investment department of Pingyu Group this morning. However, the investment department of Pingyu Group It was already a behemoth before that.

Although there are only a dozen internal employees, the investment department of Pingyu Group controls part of Baidu's stock.

This part of the stock has even reached the shares of Baidu Company 1.

You must know that after the development of the current Baidu company in the past few months, the stock has been rising all the way after listing, and the market value of the entire Baidu company has already reached as much as tens of billions.

Even if it is only 1 stock, the market value is as high as close to 300 million.

In the entire Baidu company, although it is not too conspicuous, for Pingyu Group, it is indeed extremely terrifying.

You must know that even Li Changhong, chairman of Baidu, directly controls less than 20 shares in Baidu.

After thinking about it carefully for a moment, Li Changhong looked at Chen Ping in front of him with apologetic expression on his face, and said softly, "Mr. Chen, you know, this time it's just an internal transfer of shares, but for Baidu, once such news spreads. Going out, the outside world is likely to raise many unfavorable conjectures on Baidu, which will have a huge impact on Baidu's stock price, and even cause Baidu's stock to fall for a period of time."

"So this time, I'm afraid we can only come up with 270 million to acquire the shares of Baidu that Mr. Chen owns."

Hearing Li Changhong's words, Chen Ping was also lost in thought.

You must know that the market value of Baidu's stock in Chen Ping's hands is as high as 300 million yuan. Li Changhong directly lowered the price by nearly 10. However, at this moment, Chen Ping's face did not show too much unhappy expression. , just after a moment of silence, Chen Ping suddenly asked in a soft voice, "If we look at the fastest speed, how long will it take to complete this equity transfer?"

Li Changhong smiled lightly, and then said softly, "It won't take long, it will only be a week at most, and the money will be credited to the account of Pingyu Group."

Hearing Li Changhong's words, Chen Ping suddenly shook his head gently, then looked at Li Changhong in front of him with a solemn gaze, and said in a deep voice, "One day, at most two days, within two days, the money must be paid for. Hit the account of Pingyu Group!"

Chen Ping's words immediately made Li Changhong stunned.

Two days is enough for the two parties to sign an equity transfer agreement. After all, similar equity transfers have a model contract, and the two parties do not have many additional requirements, as long as the quantity and price of the equity transfer are negotiated.

However, the time of two days is too short. Even for Baidu, it is not an easy task to mobilize 270 million funds to the account of Pingyu Group in just two days. .

It is precisely because of this that Li Changhong frowned slightly, and just wanted to say something, but saw Chen Ping in front of him suddenly waved his hand with a chuckle, and then said softly, "Mr. Li, I am. I also know that such a request is difficult for a strong man, but I can reduce the price to 250 million, and in two days, the price has been reduced by as much as 20 million, which must be something that President Li can’t ask for, right?”

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Li Changhong's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, after taking a deep look at Chen Ping, he nodded lightly without hesitation and said with a smile, "Mr. , within two days, the 250 million funds will be credited to the account of Pingyu Group."

"But I still say that, even if President Chen sells all the shares of Baidu, and is no longer a shareholder of Baidu, but I hope we can still be friends."

When Chen Ping heard Li Changhong's words, he quickly opened his mouth and smiled, and then cupped his hands gently, with a bit of a joke, and said softly, "Mr. Li is really polite, to me, Mr. Li is a senior, friend. Don't dare to be, maybe President Li can become my teacher, maybe I can learn a lot from President Li."

Hearing Chen Ping's polite words, Li Changhong didn't take it seriously, and didn't take it to heart at all.

This time, although the two parties have negotiated the equity transfer, Li Changhong did not bring the equity transfer agreement.

However, this matter is also extremely urgent for Li Changhong.

You know, Li Changhong, as the chairman of Baidu, has a lot of room for maneuver in this matter.

After all, although this equity acquisition was not carried out in Li Changhong's personal name, but in the entire Baidu company's board of directors, Li Changhong saw an opportunity in the process of negotiating with Chen Ping.

You must know that although Li Changhong is the chairman of Baidu, the shares in his hands are less than 1/5 of the entire Baidu shares.

Although no one else can surpass the shares held by Li Changhong, for Li Changhong, the more shares he can hold, the better.

If it was before that, the price of 270 million would have put a lot of pressure on Li Changhong, and even Li Changhong could not come up with so much cash by himself.

However, if it is 250 million, Li Changhong sees hope.

This is also the reason why Li Changhong finally agreed to Chen Ping's request for two days so happily.

Because if it is 270 million, then if Li Changhong wants to win this part of the equity, he must go through Baidu's board of directors, and many shareholders of the board of directors will jointly contribute to win this part of the shares.
