Chapter 955: 950. Capricious (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Sure enough, Huang Guang didn't even hesitate, saying directly, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, we will certainly manage the company with all our heart and strength and contribute to the company's development."
Zhang Ran seemed to believe his words, looking very happy, and laughed as he said, "Good, good, good. The company's development needs people like President Huang; you are truly worthy of being Chairman Huang's younger brother."
Huang Guang felt rather uncomfortable being praised by Zhang Ran like this, but he followed along and became happy as well.
As for these words, they were just empty talk; as for what the future development would look like, that was a matter for the future.
Moreover, it was impossible for Zhang Ran to keep paying attention; perhaps he would suddenly remember it at some point in the future, but that wouldn't matter.
At most, one could just resign when the time came, couldn't one?
In any case, in Huang Guang's view, everything was fine now.
However, Huang Lin and Cheng Mei did not have such thoughts; they knew that Zhang Ran would not simply believe Huang Guang's words like that. Even they themselves didn't believe them, let alone Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Alright, since Chairman Huang is so confident, I can rest easy."
"By the way, from now on, the Headquarters will focus on developing Huali Electric, and since President Huang is so confident, let's sign a Valuation Bet Agreement."
"A Valuation Bet Agreement?" Huang Guang was a bit dazed.
Zhang Ran said with a chuckle, "Yes, a Valuation Bet Agreement. Actually, I am only bringing this agreement out for Chairman Huang's sake.
In my view, Huali Electric has great prospects for development in the future. I won't dare say too much, but a market value of five billion to ten billion will certainly be there."
Zhang Ran spoke in an understated manner, as if this five to ten billion was just that simple.
Before Huang Guang and the others could react, Zhang Ran continued, "I won't make things difficult for President Huang; after all, this can be considered a benefit, so let's temporarily set it at four billion.
Within three years, if Huali Electric reaches a total market value of four billion under President Huang's leadership, then Huamei will transfer one percent of its shares to you at the current price.
Five billion means five percent, seven billion means ten percent, and ten billion means twenty percent."
After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he looked at Huang Guang with a smile and said, "President Huang, this plan of mine is pretty good, right?"
Huang Guang was stunned on the spot; he never expected that Zhang Ran would actually propose such a plan.
Four billion! How could it be so simple in Zhang Ran's eyes?
However, Zhang Ran had not finished speaking, "Since it is a Valuation Bet Agreement, you also need to put up some stakes. If you don't reach four billion, then all the shares you currently hold must be sold to Huamei Group at the current price."
Huang Guang stopped talking; how could he dare to agree to this?
He didn't know if what Zhang Ran said was true or false, even if it were true, and even if Huamei Group provided strong support and there were prospects.
But Huang Guang still understood himself and these friends and relatives of his quite well.
Let alone four billion, even maintaining the current situation was only because of his older brother's strong support.
Therefore, he could only look at his older brother and sister-in-law with a pleading gaze, and the rest of the people were the same.
Huang Lin was actually truly tempted when Zhang Ran said these words, because he knew that if things really developed according to Zhang Ran's previous vision, ten billion would really not be difficult.
Not to say much, as long as Huali Electric occupied a certain share of the future smart home market, then ten billion would be a very simple matter.
However, he also knew the capabilities of these relatives of his, so he did not speak up.
When he saw the pleading gazes of his younger brother and those relatives, Huang Lin seemed to 'hesitate' as he said, "Mr. Zhang, there's no need for this, right? Doing this is not very fair to our Huamei Headquarters."
Cheng Mei also added a few words of persuasion from the side, as if she were truly considering things for her relatives.
Who knew that Zhang Ran, who had been amiable all along, suddenly changed his expression, and with a cold face, said to them, "What? Do you think I'm wrong?"
"No, no, it's just that such a plan is not very good, and the company also needs to discuss it," Huang Lin said hurriedly.
Zhang Ran said coldly, "I say it's fine, so it's fine. If anyone objects, you tell me, and they can just get lost."
At this moment, Zhang Ran did not give Huang Lin any face at all, and his tone was also extremely overbearing.
This made Huang Guang and the others feel panicked in their hearts.
What kind of person was their own older brother?
But now he was being lectured by Zhang Ran like a grandson, and he didn't even dare to talk back, only able to endure it.
After lecturing Huang Lin, Zhang Ran couldn't even be bothered to look at him, and said to Huang Guang and the others, "Alright, the matter is settled like this. Tomorrow I will have someone come over to sign the Valuation Bet Agreement with you."
After speaking, he prepared to stand up.
At this time, Huang Guang had to speak up, "Mr. Zhang, please wait, we don't want to sign this Valuation Bet Agreement."
"What? You are still not satisfied with this plan?" Zhang Ran's eyes narrowed instantly.
Huang Guang didn't know why, but his heart suddenly became incredibly panicked.
"No, I just don't want to make things difficult for the Headquarters, and we can just do it ourselves." Huang Guang didn't even know how to say it for a moment.
Zhang Ran said with a calm expression, "Whoever is not convinced, you tell me. Let's see who dares? The decision I, Zhang Ran, have made, no matter what, must be carried out."
After speaking, Zhang Ran seemed to think of something else, "By the way, I almost forgot. At that time, the Headquarters will also send some people from the Supervision Department to enter the company.
They won't interfere with the specific affairs of the company, just supervise a bit. This is the company's regulation, I hope President Huang understands."
"There is one more thing, let's get the ugly words out of the way first. This is also what I will say to all other company employees in the future: don't think about embezzling the company's property. If I catch you, then those predecessors from before will be your examples."
After speaking, Zhang Ran left directly. Huang Lin hurriedly followed, while Cheng Mei remained there.
Once they walked out and sat in the car, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "How is it? This time it should be resolved, right?"
Huang Lin didn't even react for a moment, and smiled bitterly, "It's resolved. I believe they don't have the guts to take on this Valuation Bet Agreement."
It really wasn't that he was looking down on his own brother, but the real situation was just like that.
If they really signed it, he believed that in three years, Zhang Ran would be able to buy back their shares at the original price.
If they still had sticky fingers during this period, then even if they sold their shares by then, they wouldn't have anywhere to spend the money.
No, perhaps they would still need quite a bit for legal fees.
On this point, Huang Lin believed that his younger brother and relatives would certainly not doubt it.
As long as Huang Guang and the others still had some sanity now, they should smartly refuse this Valuation Bet Agreement and then voluntarily resign.
