Chapter 176: Partnership Financial Investment Company
After Huang Bai ming and Zhao Feiyang finished discussing the online sales platform business with Chen Yang, they directly moved on to today's topic: they wanted to trade stocks together with Chen Yang.
Chen Yang invited them to his office. Then he said to Huang Bai ming: "President Huang, you guys are so close with President Zhuo, suddenly coming over to my place— isn't that inappropriate?"
Huang Bai ming cares about profits; since Zhuo Wenyuan can no longer help him make money, he doesn't want to waste any more time. "President Chen, to be frank, I'm not satisfied with President Zhuo's recent trading. Whenever the situation is very favorable, he always makes wrong judgments. In this state, we dare not take risky investments anymore."
Chen Yang can understand his feelings: "An incompetent general exhausts the troops." As a commander, if Zhuo Wenyuan cannot make the right choice, then no matter how much capital they invest, it will be in vain.
Like this incident of a stampede at Xingcheng Heavy Industry, it could have been avoided. As long as the two major forces, Dongjiang Securities and Xingcheng Securities, work together to hold the line, the opponent cannot shake it in the slightest.
However, when Chen Yang examined the trading data of Xingcheng Heavy Industry, he discovered that the funds of both securities firms were scrambling to flee. There was no intention at all to actively stabilize the situation.
On the surface it's an alliance, but in reality each harbors ulterior motives. It would be a miracle if anything got done!
"President Huang, I prefer quiet and don't really approve of you following me in stock trading. If you insist on getting involved, my suggestion is to set up a dedicated fund account."
"This account can be placed in my hands to operate on my behalf, limited to one quarter or half a year. If there is profit, it will be distributed according to each party's capital contribution ratio. Conversely, the same applies."
"You can go back and consider it first; if you agree, we will jointly draft a contract. Writing the rules in black and white will prevent future unpleasantness."
At first, Huang Bai ming felt disappointed upon hearing that Chen Yang did not intend to bring them into stock trading, but after hearing Chen Yang's later suggestion, he saw hope again.
"President Chen, your suggestion is pretty good; I can invest fifty million."
Seeing Huang Bai ming accept Chen Yang's proposal without hesitation, Zhuo Wenyuan also said: "President Chen, I will also invest fifty million."
Seeing their firm attitude, Chen Yang called Qin Qin over and asked her to draft a legally binding cooperation contract according to his requirements.
Since the agreement involves many provisions, Chen Yang let Huang Bai ming and Zhao Feiyang go back first.
After all, this joint fund account still needs to apply for new bank cards and stock accounts; even if the contract is drafted, it cannot be signed immediately.
After Huang Bai ming and Zhao Feiyang left, Yexin's phone call came in.
"You little brat, you're trading stocks together without me? That's so unloyal!"
Chen Yang guessed it must have been Shen Anna who told her something, and he laughed: "Sister Yexin, I recall you didn't want to trade stocks with me before, right?"
Yexin laughed: "Not trading stocks with you, we can still invest!"
"All right!" Chen Yang thought, since it's a partnership, adding one more person doesn't matter. "President Huang and President Zhao each invested fifty million; how much are you planning to invest?"
"Then I'll also invest fifty million! However, I have a suggestion; you can listen."
"What suggestion?"
"Let's set up a financial investment company together—not just stock investment, but we can also pursue other promising projects."
"This... won't it be too complicated?"
"No problem, I'll handle the related procedures; you just need to agree to join as a partner."
"Then I need to think about it first."
"Fine, then give me an answer tomorrow! If not, we'll just go with your original idea: each person invests fifty million to trade stocks."
After Yexin's call ended, Chen Yang summoned Shen Anna: "Sister Anna, do you think partnering with Sister Yexin to run a financial investment company is reliable?"
"You guys want to go into business together?" Shen Anna felt a bit surprised upon hearing this news; she remembered Yexin had explicitly told her not to get too close to Chen Yang. How did she suddenly change her mind?
"Any problems?" Chen Yang looked at Shen Anna, puzzled.
Shen Anna thought carefully and slowly said: "Yexin once told me that... her family seems not to be from the same lineage as your wife's maternal grandfather's family. She cannot get too close to you."
In his previous life, Chen Yang had watched some officialdom TV dramas and novels, roughly understanding Shen Anna's meaning. So he also wondered why Yexin wanted to cooperate with him.
"Sister Anna, why don't you give her a call to ask her true thoughts?"
Shen Anna nodded, picked up her phone, called Yexin, and directly pressed the speakerphone button.
"Anna, did that brat ask you something?"
"You're really smart. Then I'll just ask directly: why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"The answer is simple: nobody will go against money. Moreover, I don't plan to personally take the lead in this company."
"I'm busy; don't come looking for me!"
"Don't worry, she's my husband's family's younger sister-in-law. She just graduated from school and doesn't want to get into the system, so let her go stir up some trouble."
Chen Yang immediately asked: "Sister Yexin, does your husband's family's younger sister-in-law have a lot of ideas? If so, this partnership won't work."
On Yexin's side, after a moment of silence, she replied: "I won't let her interfere with stock matters. For other things, you'll just have to accommodate a bit more. This girl isn't unreasonable; if you get along well with her, it will be greatly beneficial for your company's outward expansion."
Upon hearing that the other party cannot interfere with stock trading, Chen Yang relaxed a bit. After all, the main purpose of the partnership is to profit from stock trading. As for other projects, even if the other party wants to go it alone, they still need the approval of him, Huang Bai ming, and Zhao Feiyang—the three major shareholders—by a show of hands.
And upon hearing that Yexin's younger sister-in-law could also help the future development of the Common People Meat Industry Co., Ltd., Shen Anna immediately voted in favor.
However, Chen Yang still felt uneasy. After returning home, he called Lin Wei and asked her what further troubles might arise if he cooperated with Yexin to run a company.
Lin Wei directly replied: "Husband, as long as you don't engage in illegal fundraising, financial fraud, or similar unlawful activities, it doesn't matter who you partner with. My grandfather once said that in work matters, even if there are differing opinions, it's about the issue, not the person."
Chen Yang hadn't expected Lin Wei's grandfather to be someone who separates public and private affairs; he felt a bit more admiration. He thought for a moment and then asked: "Will the Ye family have any objections?"
Lin Wei laughed: "This should be Sister Yexin's worry; you don't need to bother yourself. Moreover, her husband and my second uncle were university classmates, with a very good relationship."
"Your relationship seems a bit messy!" Chen Yang felt a bit confused; Lin Wei and Yexin are sisters, and Yexin's husband is a classmate of Lin Wei's uncle. This already crosses generations.
"It's fine, we each handle our own affairs. When will you return to Qing Shui? I miss you."
Chen Yang thought for a moment: this week he needs to watch the stock market, and also work on the cooperative company with Yexin and the others, so he likely won't be able to leave. He told her: "I should be able to come back on the weekend. The first batch of sausages at the Common People Meat Industry Co., Ltd. has officially entered the trial production stage; I need to go check it out."
"Alright, then I'll wait for you to come back!"
