Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Xiao Hai, could you explain the reasons behind this to us in detail? You know, we're basically a husband-and-wife business, and we don't understand these things at all."

"Of course," An Xiaohai organized his thoughts: "Equal distribution of company shares may seem fair, but it is actually the most unwise choice."

If the shares are distributed too evenly, it means that no shareholder has absolute control over the company.

This makes it difficult to reach a quick agreement once disagreements arise among shareholders. The business world is a battlefield, and sometimes delays can result in significant losses.

In such situations, it's best if everyone can sit down and negotiate. But if no one is willing to back down, it can escalate into internal strife within the company, and the company might even fall apart.

Therefore, shares must not be distributed equally; there must be a master, and this master must have complete control of the company and absolute say in order to ensure long-term sustainability.

"Xiao Hai, what you said makes a lot of sense, but if one person holds absolute power, wouldn't the company still be ruined if that person made a mistake?"

"Yes, but Brother Tian, ​​think about it, is it more likely that one person will make a mistake, or that several people will make a mistake?"

Take us as an example. The shares are divided equally among three people. If one of them makes a wrong judgment, it can affect the entire company.

Therefore, the more people you have to talk to, the greater the chance of making a mistake.

Tian Qiaoming and Song Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly as they listened.

"It's good for everyone to pool their wisdom and efforts, but it can also be quite dangerous. It's like an army fighting a war. The leader points the way and the others keep quiet. That's how you build a strong fighting force."

If something happens, you should first hold a meeting to discuss it, try to get everyone's agreement, and then come up with a compromise solution. Otherwise, things will go wrong.

We're just a small company right now, there's absolutely no need for us to go through all this trouble.

Most importantly, truth is often held by a minority.

"I've never heard of the saying that truth is in the hands of a minority before..." Song Xiaoyu said softly, frowning.

"I won't explain this, it would take too much time. I believe that with your experience, you will quickly understand what I'm saying."

In short, the current share distribution of Qiaoyu Company is very unreasonable.

If I were an investor, I would never invest in a company like that.

An overly equal distribution of shares can lead to another huge problem. Have you two thought about this? When the company is on track and developing rapidly, it will definitely need strong financial support.

We need to bring in new investors, and these new investors will inevitably need to hold a certain number of shares. So, at that point, whose shares should we give them?

"Of course, it's proportional dilution!" Tian Qiaoming said subconsciously.

"What if I disagree? What will you do then? What if you two also have differing opinions? What will you do then?"

so!

In business, we face countless uncertainties every day. What we should do is try our best to make the uncertainties certain.

In the early stages, the company's founders have absolute control and absolute say, which makes the uncertain more certain.

Therefore, I disagree with the unreasonable shareholding structure of Xiaoyu Company. An equal distribution of shares only complicates a relatively certain matter.

"I understand!" Tian Qiaoming finally nodded. "Xiao Hai, you're amazing! How do you know so much?"

"It's not that I'm great, and I don't know much either. I just happen to know an actuary accountant, and he often talks to me about similar things."

I thought it made a lot of sense, so I remembered it.

"An actuarial accountant! My goodness, who is this person? Can you introduce us?" Song Xiaoyu's eyes shone brightly; her business acumen was truly unparalleled.

"I can introduce you, but it would be more appropriate for someone else to make the introduction."

"Who?"

"Brother Qiaoguang".

"What? Could this expert be from the First Prison again?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I keep chatting with him? His name is Lai Donglin, and we have a good relationship. He said I introduced him, so he will definitely help me."

Qiaoguang knows him too. You can ask him to help you redesign the share distribution method of Qiaoyu Company. You can also ask him about any other financial matters you don't understand.

I believe he can explain it more professionally than I can.

"That's great! I'll find a chance to visit him as soon as possible. There are so many talented people in the First Prison!" Tian Qiaoming said, clenching his fist.

"Indeed, they are all talented people..." An Xiaohai sighed softly.

"Alright, let's stop here for today. Once you've redesigned the company's shareholding structure, we'll find an opportunity to sit down and discuss the next steps."

An Xiaohai stood up, walked to the window, and stretched.

Qiaoyu Company is located in an industrial park, which consists entirely of six-story buildings. The bottom five floors are factories, and the top floor is offices. The view from here is quite good.

"Do you have another great idea? Can you give us a sneak peek?" Song Xiaoyu asked with a smile while tidying up the documents.

"There is indeed a good idea, but please let me keep you in suspense for now!"

"We haven't signed the nominee shareholding agreement yet. What if you guys find out about this great idea and then dump me and don't include me?" An Xiaohai joked.

"Haha, you sly fox! Alright, let's get the company shares sorted out first, and then we'll try to get your good ideas out of you. Just you wait!" Song Xiaoyu said playfully.

"Xiao Hai, why don't you stay for dinner later? There are a few good restaurants outside the park. I'll take you to try them; I'm sure you'll like them."

"No, I have something to do, so I'll head back first. I'll remember this meal and ask Brother Tian for it later."

A small restaurant won't do; it has to be a grand meal!

"Haha, no problem! Come on, I'll take you."

"No need. I've been inside for too long, I've almost forgotten what Deepsea City is like. I want to wander around on my own."

"Okay, or I'll give you the car and you can drive it yourself."

"No need, besides, I don't have a driver's license."

"Alright, then you can go back by yourself. Wait, take this!" Tian Qiaoming opened the drawer, took out a box from the drawer, and stuffed it into An Xiaohai's hand.

An Xiaohai looked down and saw that it was a cell phone.

An Xiaohai was first taken aback, then moved.

In those days, cell phones were commonly known as "big brother phones" and were incredibly expensive! Although cell phones have become much smaller and the price has dropped somewhat in the last two years, they still cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the call charges are still very high.

Tian Qiaoming, as the CEO of a company, still uses a pager himself, but bought An Xiaohai a mobile phone.

"No, Brother Tian, ​​this is too valuable and too flashy. You should keep it for yourself; you need it more than I do."

"Xiao Hai, just take it!" Song Xiaoyu chimed in, "Didn't you just say that you need this even more because a high-ranking official is going to make things difficult for you?"

If you encounter any emergency while you're out, you can call the police more quickly.

"Take it. Our business partners are all long-time customers. Your brother Tian doesn't need this to save face; a pager is enough for him."

"Well... okay, I'll take it!"

An Xiaohai nodded. Having a cell phone would indeed be much more convenient. More importantly, friendship is not meant to be rejected, but to be reciprocated.

An Xiaohai believed that he would soon be able to give this lovely young couple enough in return.

So, I'll just accept it.

"Thank you, Brother Tian, ​​thank you, Sister-in-law. I'll be going now, no need to see me off. I'll be more careful when I come here in the future, and try to avoid being seen by irrelevant people."

"Alright, be careful."

"Okay, goodbye, both of you."

An Xiaohai waved the phone box in his hand and left with a smile. Tian Qiaoming and Song Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, then held hands and returned to the company.

An Xiaohai regretted it as soon as he got downstairs. The mobile phone box was too eye-catching. He should have asked Tian Qiaoming for a plastic bag to put it in.

But I'm too lazy to climb the stairs. It's six floors, that's exhausting!

Just then, a Jetta sped over and came to a sudden stop after getting close to An Xiaohai.

An Xiaohai was startled.

In a flash, An Xiaohai made his choice and turned to run towards the depths of the industrial park!
