Chapter 398： Generous Chen Ping

Hearing what Chen Ping said, Li Changhong gradually became silent. After a long time, Li Changhong glanced at Chen Ping deeply, then suddenly laughed, nodded and laughed, "Since Mr. Chen has already said that For this reason, if I don’t help, it seems a bit unkind."

"But I still hope that even if Mr. Chen finally quit Baidu and ceases to be one of Baidu's shareholders, the friendship between our two parties can last for a long time."

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

Hearing what Li Changhong said, Chen Ping was slightly relieved, and then nodded lightly without hesitation, and said with a smile, "President Li, don’t worry, to be honest, Baidu’s help to me is not small. It’s not good to say that if it wasn’t for Baidu’s stock that allowed me to make 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 faintly, then nodded slightly, but he didn't take it too seriously.

In fact, both Li Changhong and Chen Ping are very clear. What Chen Ping said is just to be polite. If there is a real chance for cooperation in the future, Chen Ping still needs to consider the interests of the two parties. It's really a bad idea to have the opportunity to cooperate.

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

He can see it. There is nothing false about 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 within Pingyu Group.

After all, the current Pingyu Group has only just been established. Most of the employees at the Pingyu Group’s 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 the Pingyu Group do not feel too strong for the Pingyu Group. After all, they have joined the 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 stock, he secretly inquired about the situation within the Pingyu Group.

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

Although Li Changhong does not have a deep understanding of these projects, Li Changhong is probably able to judge that the projects currently underway by Pingyuan Group require investment of at least 500 million yuan.

The real working capital of Pingyu Group will not exceed 300 million at full scale.

This also means that Pingyu Group is now facing a funding problem, although such funding problems will only delay the development progress of these projects that Pingyu Group is carrying out, and will not really affect Pingyuan Group’s Survival, but as the chairman of Pingyu Group, Chen Ping must consider the development of Pingyuan Group.

As a businessman, I never hope that such financial problems will slow down the development of the group, because once the pace of development slows down, it is very likely that opportunities will be missed.

The phrase "Bing Gui Shen Su" is extremely applicable in the business world.

So after Chen Ping explained, Li Changhong also believed Chen Ping's words.

He is very clear about what Chen Ping meant. The funds currently lacking in Pingyu Group are likely to fall on Baidu's stock.

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

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

After pondering for a moment, Li Changhong also said softly, "If this is the case, I will help Mr. Chen, so be it. In the next few days, I will send Baidu's legal department to contact Mr. Chen and recover the stock in Mr. 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 this internal transfer is also a certain adverse effect for our Baidu Company, and it is even likely to be Bringing certain volatility to Baidu's stock."

"So this stock purchase is likely to be lower than the market price, I hope President Chen will not blame me."

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

However, Chen Ping didn't care too much. He just smiled and asked calmly, "Mr. Li, can I ask how much the final stock purchase price will be?"

Li Changhong pondered carefully.

The Baidu company stocks currently held by Chen Ping are actually in the investment department of the Pingyu Group. Speaking of which, although the investment department of the Pingyu Group is not too eye-catching, it is even just established. But in fact, the strength of the investment department of Pingyu Group cannot be underestimated.

At present, the flow of funds within the 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 the Pingyu Group this morning. However, the investment department of the Pingyu Group Before this, it was already a giant.

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

This part of the stock has even reached Baidu's 1 share.

You must know that the current Baidu company has gone through the development over the past few months, and the stock has gone up after being listed. The market value of the entire Baidu company has already reached tens of billions.

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

in the entire Baidu company, although it is not too eye-catching, but for Pingyu Group, it is indeed extremely scary.

You must know that even if Baidu’s chairman Li Changhong has a direct control of less than 20 shares.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Changhong looked at Chen Ping apologetically, and said softly, "As you know, Mr. Chen, although this is only an internal transfer of shares, 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, to buy the stock of Baidu Company in Mr. Chen's hand, I am afraid we can only spend only 270 million."

Chen Ping was also lost in thought when he heard Li Changhong's words.

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

Li Changhong smiled faintly, and then said softly, “It won’t take long, it’s only a week at most, and the money will be credited to Pingyu Group’s account.”

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

Chen Ping's words caused Li Chang to be shocked.

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

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

It is precisely because of this that Li Changhong immediately frowned slightly. Just about to say something, he saw Chen Ping who was in front of him suddenly chuckled and waved his hand, and then said softly, "Mr. Li, I I also know that such a requirement is somewhat difficult, but I can reduce the price to 250 million, and the price has been reduced by as much as 20 million in two days. Surely it is also very desirable for President Li, right?"

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Li Changhong's eyes suddenly brightened. After taking a deep look at Chen Ping, he nodded and laughed softly without any hesitation. , Within two days, the 250 million yuan of funds will be transferred to Pingyu Group’s account."

"But I still said that, even if President Chen sold all of Baidu's shares, he would no longer be a shareholder of Baidu, but I hope that both of us will still be friends."

Chen Ping heard Li Changhong's words, he hurriedly smiled, then gently arched his hands, with a bit of joking, and said softly, "Mr. Li is really polite. To me, Mr. Li is a senior, a friend. I dare not be, maybe President Li can become my teacher, maybe I can still 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.

Although the two parties have discussed the equity transfer this time, Li Changhong did not bring the equity transfer agreement.

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

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

After all, although this equity acquisition was not carried out in Li Changhong's personal name, it was carried out by the entire Baidu board of directors. However, during the negotiation with Chen PingLi Changhong saw an opportunity.

You must know that although Li Changhong is the chairman of Baidu, his holdings are less than one-fifth of the total shares of Baidu.

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 were before that, the price of 270 million would also put a huge pressure on Li Changhong, and even Li Changhong himself could not come up with so much cash.

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

This is exactly why Li Changhong finally agreed to Chen Ping's two-day request so happily.

Because if it is 270 million, if Li Changhong wants to take this part of the equity, he must pass Baidu's board of directors, and many shareholders of the board of directors will jointly invest and take this part of the shares.
