Just spending a little money, Lu Yiming got a lot of information from Li Qiu.

It's all about Zheng Baishun.

The information content is very rich, and it contains only how many diapers Zheng Baishun changed in a day when he was a child.

Lu Yiming still admired Li Qiu's ability to do things. So this time Lu Yiming gave Li Qiu a "tip" as a reward.

According to the information obtained, Zheng Baishun is currently gathering some senior management of Mingyuan Technology within the company to plan a "rebellion."

And behind this, there was even a foreign-funded enterprise like Ammon Company, which made the whole thing unusual.

Looking at this information, Lu Yiming gradually got an idea in his mind, and instantly understood Zheng Baishun's plan for some of his seemingly "reckless" actions.

While Lu Yiming was leaning on his chair and flipping through information, Zheng Youyuan called over there.

"Mr. Lu."

Lu Yiming heard Zheng Youyuan's angry words and immediately smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Zheng is recovering well."

"First Evolution"

Zheng Youyuan said mockingly: "Hey, don't say this, you won't be able to accept it anymore."

Later, Zheng Youyuan said: "Mr. Lu, do you have time now? I have something I want to talk to you about in person."

Lu Yiming said immediately: "I also have something to say to you, so I'll go over now."

Lu Yiming took those materials, bought another fruit basket, and went to the hospital accompanied by Zhao Tiezhu.

At the door of the ward, Lu Yiming saw Zheng Fengting. Seeing Lu Yiming coming with a fruit basket, Zheng Fengting said, "Lu Yiming, why are you free to come here today?"

Lu Yiming said: "Mr. Zheng called me and said that he wanted to talk to me about something. It happened that I also had something to say to Mr. Zheng."

"Oh, then go in."

In the ward, Zheng Youyuan was sitting on the bed reading a book. Next to him, Zheng Youyuan's wife Xu Qingshu was helping Zheng Youyuan peel apples. When she saw Lu Yiming coming in, she immediately said enthusiastically: "Mr. Lu is here, sit down quickly. I'll get you a cup of tea."

.”

Lu Yiming quickly said: "No, no, just go about your business."

Xu Qingshu said with some fear: "Thank you so much for accompanying our Tingting when Old Zheng was hospitalized. Otherwise, she is a girl and wouldn't know what to do."

Lu Yiming said humbly: "Mr. Zheng is my partner, and Zheng Fengting is my classmate. You are just talking about it."

Zheng Youyuan said to Xu Qingshu and Zheng Fengting: "I invited Mr. Lu here. I have something to discuss with Mr. Lu. You guys should go out first."

Xu Qingshu said: "Okay, you guys chat first, while Tingting and I go out for a walk."

There were only two grown men left in the ward.

To be honest, this disease came like a mountain. Zheng Youyuan, who was in such good spirits before, suffered this disaster. He felt as if he had aged dozens of years. His originally round cheeks had become thinner, and his black hair had become thinner.

become gray.

Lu Yiming asked with concern: "Mr. Zheng, are you feeling okay? How long have you been up? Do you want to take a rest?"

Zheng Youyuan said: "I just woke up not long ago. I'm fine. I'm in good health. Let's talk about the company."

Lu Yiming came here because of this incident and immediately said: "Well, something has indeed happened in the company these days."

Zheng Youyuan sighed and relayed Zheng Baishun's explanation to him about stopping R&D funds to Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming didn't expect that there was such a link in this, so he immediately said with a half-smile: "Is this how Zheng Baishun deceived you?"

Zheng Youyuan was choked to death by these words, and retorted angrily: "I'm not stupid, I can still tell if it's a scam."

"Oh? Really?"

Lu Yiming sat in front of the hospital bed, took out an orange from the fruit basket and started peeling it, and then joked: "Old Zheng, the people in the mental hospital also say that they are not crazy, but whether they are crazy or not is up to them.

Does it count?”

Zheng Youyuan glared at Lu Yiming unconvinced, reached out and snatched away the oranges he had peeled, and explained while eating: "Zheng Baishun did come to me and told me his plan..."

Immediately, he told Lu Yiming in detail about the foreign investment in Ammon Company and his plan to help Mingyuan Technology go public in the United States.

At the end, Zheng Youyuan's eyes seemed to be shining with light. He looked at Lu Yiming expectantly and asked: "Do you think that if you operate this way, will Mingyuan Technology have a chance to be listed in the United States like Brilliance Auto?"

Even Lu Yiming had to admit that the method mentioned by Zheng Baishun did work, and he also knew that the leeks in the United States were not much more noble than the leeks in China. As long as you let go of your moral integrity, you can cut them however you want.

But in his plan, Mingyuan Technology is a serious technology company. It doesn't mean why it doesn't compete with Apple and Huawei. What the hell is it that competes with Luckin?

As a reborn person, do you want to go to the United States to cut leeks in such a crooked way?

At this point, Lu Yiming finally figured out Zheng Baishun's plan.

The flagship product of Mingyuan Technology is only USB flash drives, and the market prospects of USB flash drives are very good. So for a company, what is the best choice in a short time?

It’s not about technological innovation, let alone R&D investment, but about creating a beautiful financial statement and then listing the company to cut the profits from shareholders.

How to create beautiful financial statements?

It's very simple. Just cut off the investment in R&D and then promote USB flash drives crazily. In this way, the sales data will be very gratifying. Without investment in R&D, the profit margin will become very good, making Mingyuan Technology a leader in the capital market.

Fragrant pastry.

At least, that's the case in the short term.

As for your question, can't there be a longer-term goal?

Unfortunately, most people are very short-sighted. If I can make hundreds of millions or even billions now, why should I think about the future?

What's more, the company doesn't belong to Zheng Baishun, so he certainly doesn't feel bad about selling it.

In just a moment, while Zheng Youyuan was still lying in bed thinking about the big sales of Mingyuan Technology stocks, Lu Yiming had already figured out everything. He sighed, took out another orange from the fruit basket and started peeling it.

Zheng Youyuan had just finished eating an orange. Seeing Lu Yiming start peeling oranges again, he waited eagerly. Hearing Lu Yiming sigh, he said: "Hey, wasn't this a good conversation? Why are you sighing again? Is there something else?

wrong?"

Lu Yiming sighed and said: "Old Zheng, to be honest, I am very disappointed in you."

Zheng Youyuan suddenly felt a little unhappy: "No, what do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with Baishun's plan? It's impossible. I also asked someone for consultation."

Lu Yiming ate the orange, letting the sweet and sour juice moisten his throat, and then said to Zheng Youyuan with a helpless expression: "There is nothing wrong with his plan, but there is something wrong with your brain."

Zheng Youyuan was confused by these words.

"What on earth do you want to say? Why can't I understand you at all?"

Lu Yiming asked: "Do you know what Ammon Company does?"

Zheng Youyuan said: "I know, we almost had a patent lawsuit before because of Deng Guoshun's incident. Is there any problem?"

In Zheng Youyuan's view, when it comes to business, where can there be an overnight feud?

As long as it is beneficial, even the enemy who killed his father can shake hands and make peace.

Making money is not shabby.

Seeing that Zheng Youyuan hadn't realized the crux of the problem, Lu Yiming had to remind him: "Amon Company itself is a company that develops flash memory technology. I believe that the other party has almost come up with a product that can be marketed, and Liu Qian is still there. Unlike trash fish like Lin Jiandong, Ammon Company can definitely be regarded as our formidable enemy."

Hearing that they were here to grab business, the expression on Zheng Youyuan's face suddenly changed: "You mean, they actually have ulterior motives for investing in Mingyuan Technology?"

Lu Yiming snorted: "Isn't this a matter of course? After taking shares, Ammon Company asked us to grant the patent authorization for the USB flash drive. Should we grant it? There is even a more malicious speculation that they have become the major shareholder of Mingyuan Technology. They can wreak havoc arbitrarily, for example by asking us to cut down the R&D department, so that it will be difficult for our USB flash drives to be replaced. On the contrary, Ammon Company can catch up from behind and use similar products with higher technical content and easier to use. Defeat us."

"Ah this..."

It is true that Zheng Youyuan has been running a factory for most of his life, but he has always been living in this one-third of an acre of land, just like a child in an ivory tower, and has never seen the outside world at all.

And as far as the domestic situation is concerned, patent law is like toilet paper for wiping butts. Not many people care about it at all, let alone international patents. Very few have heard of it. So Zheng Youyuan has no idea how crazy foreign patent protection is. Nor would I have imagined what incredible ways foreigners would develop in order to circumvent patents.

Zheng Youyuan broke out in a cold sweat. Now he realized that his competitors had such sinister intentions, and he was almost so blinded by the "sweet dream" of going public in the United States that he could not see the danger coming.

Although Lu Yiming's words were just speculation, Zheng Youyuan did not dare to gamble with his own wealth. After all, if he lost, he would really have nothing.

Later, Lu Yiming mentioned another matter to Zheng Youyuan: "I suspect that your nephew Zheng Baishun has been bribed, and there are also a group of insiders within the company."

Although Zheng Youyuan was also aware of it, he did not understand it as thoroughly as Lu Yiming. In addition, because of his relatives, he was instinctively willing to believe that Zheng Baishun's operations were the same as his dream of going public in the United States. Now that dream was shattered, he It's possible that he was deceived by the Ammon Company, and that he was being bribed was an exaggeration.

"Isn't it possible? This kid Baishun has always been diligent in doing things. He is not that kind of person."

Lu Yiming shook his head and said: "You know the person but not the heart. Can you really see clearly what he is thinking? Do you know what management buyout is?"

Zheng Youyuan frowned and said, "This is the first time I've heard this word. What does it mean?"

Lu Yiming said: "The so-called management buyout refers to a company's management using high-debt financing to buy out the company's equity, making the company privately owned, and then achieving the purpose of controlling and restructuring the company, and obtaining abnormal returns.

M&A transactions.”

When Zheng Youyuan was young, a high school diploma was regarded as a highly educated person. Later, he became successful by chance. He was basically a wild man. The professional knowledge Lu Yiming mentioned was to him like a monk reciting sutras.

.

"Can't you say something I can understand?"

Lu Yiming sighed and explained to Zheng Youyuan; "To put it simply, the actual manager and owner of the company are not the same person. For example, the shares of Mingyuan Technology are in the hands of me and you, but now we are responsible for the specific operation and management.

The people are not us. Under such circumstances, Zheng Baishun, as the actual operator, can win over the company's senior management to design a plan, introduce external strategic investment on the pretext of helping the company go public in the United States, and then reallocate the company's equity

.I explained it this way, do you understand?"

When Zheng Youyuan heard this, he almost had high blood pressure. He slapped the bed board and said with gritted teeth: "This piece of shit actually eats it inside and out!"
