Chapter 141 Simple and Brutal
Is it really that blunt to just ask for a price directly?
The way everyone looked at Ye Kai at this moment was somewhat different.
Although Chen Song and others had previously made a fuss about demanding that the company buy back their shares, everyone knew very well that no one would buy back their shares based on the valuation after the venture capital firm's investment, and they could not automatically exit based on their previous investment.
This is a drawn-out affair; whoever gives up first will be forced to back down and be eliminated.
However, the funds involved will certainly not be thrown away for nothing. In the end, an agreement will be reached, negotiations will be held with venture capital firms, and efforts will be made to obtain a new valuation for cooperation.
Chen Song and his group are only trying to cause trouble.
But when Ye Kai suddenly spoke, no one knew what he was thinking.
Could he possibly come up with that much money to directly take over the shares held by Chen Song and the others?
That's unlikely.
Since Ye Kai became the major shareholder, the other directors have also inquired about Ye Kai's situation and learned that he had simply pulled off a scheme to help Zhou Xiaoli solve her financial crisis, which is why he became the major shareholder of Green Energy Core Power.
If Ye Kai were to come up with cash, he probably wouldn't even be able to come up with ten million, let alone acquire the shares held by Chen Song and the others.
It's worth noting that even if Chen Song and his group agreed to sell their shares, the asking price would be as high as hundreds of millions.
However, Ye Kai specifically raised this question.
Is he really going to take on this hot potato?
"Chairman Ye is a man of few words!"
"Our demands are very simple: we only agree to sell our 17% stake at a valuation of one billion, and the seller must be one of our board members!"
"Although we want to sell our company shares, we remain passionate about this project and do not want excessively dispersed ownership to cause management chaos. This is our final wish for the project!"
"Therefore, our offer is 1.7 million!"
When Chen Song said these words, his expression was solemn, as if he were truly considering the future of green energy core power.
"Shameless!"
"You despicable person!"
"Scumbag!"
The other shareholders, upon hearing this, could easily see through Chen Song's sinister intentions and all scoffed at him.
They weren't genuinely interested in selling their shares; they were just trying to cause trouble.
Although I find their actions disgusting, no one has stepped forward to say that they are willing to take these shares. What's the difference between that and being a sucker?
"1.7 billion?"
"This price is indeed quite outrageous."
Ye Kai waved his hand to stop the noise, then spoke to Chen Song.
"We think it's perfectly reasonable."
Chen Song chuckled inwardly. What did Ye Kai, this greenhorn, know? His position as a major shareholder was just a formality, a mere coincidence. Did he really think he could have absolute authority?
"The change of shareholding is a very serious matter. Director Chen Song, do you have a legally compliant written agreement submitted to the board of directors?"
"Does the board need to review this written agreement first to determine its legality?"
Ye Kai tapped the table with his finger and raised the question seriously.
"We will naturally not overlook anything in the process."
Upon hearing this, Chen Song was confident and immediately produced a written agreement for the share transfer.
"We not only prepared the share transfer agreement well in advance, but also had it reviewed by lawyers and signed by all six of us shareholders."
"If Chairman Ye is interested in taking over these shares, he only needs to sign it, and the agreement will automatically take effect."
"However, I'm afraid Chairman Ye will find it difficult to come up with 1.7 million in cash within ten days, right?"
Another shareholder on Chen Song's side made a sarcastic remark with ill intent.
"There's nothing wrong with the agreement."
"The lawyer has reviewed it."
Zhou Xiaoli took the agreement, reviewed it with the lawyers, and nodded in approval.
At this moment, Ye Kai also saw the share transfer agreement.
There are six signatures on the other party's documents, each with its own unique style, but there is only one signature for the transferee, which clearly indicates that these shares are intended to be sold to only one shareholder.
Simply fill in your name, and you will automatically become the owner of these 17% of the shares.
Of course, the most important step in completing this agreement was to hand over 1.7 million in cash to the other party within ten days.
"Gentlemen, is there anyone willing to accept this agreement?"
Ye Kai picked up the agreement and asked each of the shareholders present a question.
"I don't accept it."
"I don't want to."
"No."
"Bullshit!"
Everyone shook their heads in opposition.
Clearly, while everyone is optimistic about the company's future, no one thinks the agreement is reasonable.
The demands made by Chen Song and others were no different from extortion in everyone's eyes, so how could they possibly accept them?
Since no one accepts it.
"Then————"
Ye Kai took the agreement out of his hand, shook it around, and then placed it in front of him.
Then let's put it aside.
Anyway, Chen Song and his group are just here to cause trouble. At most, they'll use this to delay Green Energy Core Power's financing speed so as to achieve their ulterior motives.
Once this period has passed, things should be handled as usual.
"I bought it."
Ye Kai picked up the pen and quickly signed his name on the agreement.
Ok?
Ah!
"Hiss"
Inside the small conference room, everyone stared wide-eyed at Ye Kai, watching him sign his name on the share transfer agreements.
"The agreement is in effect."
Upon seeing this, the lawyer standing to the side loudly reminded everyone.
Regardless of whether Ye Kai has money or not, once he signs the agreement, he will naturally become one of the executors of the share transfer agreement, and the agreement will take effect immediately.
As for whether Ye Kai has the money and whether he can come up with 1.7 million within ten days, that's his own business.
If someone breaches the contract, the breach of contract clauses in the agreement will naturally be enforced.
"What?"
"You signed it already?"
When Chen Song and the others saw this, they were dumbfounded and found it hard to believe.
They proposed such transfer agreement terms to drive up the repurchase price, but their main purpose was to prevent the transaction from being completed, since no one would be willing to accept such terms.
Green energy core technology is good, but before it's developed, who knows how much it's actually worth?
While a valuation of one billion might be attainable, that valuation can only be achieved after venture capital firms have successfully entered the market. Green Energy Core Power is not worth that price at present.
Is Ye Kai insane?
"Chairman Ye."
"Excuse my bluntness, but can you come up with 1.7 million?"
Chen Song felt that things had gone beyond his plans. He swallowed and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"Since I dared to sign, I naturally have the ability to pay."
"Show me this, and you'll know whether I have the ability or not."
Ye Kai chuckled and then tossed a document onto the table.
