Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Of Course, No Problem
(Chapter Eight)
Ling Ruonan, of course, knew the scale and market value of Lingyun Pharmaceutical Group under the name of Lingyun Group that Ouyang Feifei was referring to.
The market value of Lingyun Pharmaceutical was at least around one hundred billion yuan, and the Ling family controlled fifty percent of its shares, making them the largest shareholder and the absolute controlling shareholder. The second and third shareholders were public funds, with Zhengjin Company and Huigin Company each holding five percent of the shares. The equity of the other shareholders was considerably diluted, posing no threat to the control of the Ouyang Family.
Lingyun Pharmaceutical was a white horse stock on the A-share market that many people pursued. It had good performance and high returns and had never conducted public or private offerings since its listing. That is, it had not asked shareholders for money post-IPO, making it known as one of the most conscientious companies among many investors.
Over the years, the stock price of Lingyun Pharmaceutical had risen very nicely, and even in the face of a stock market crash, it did not fall significantly.@@novelbin@@
Just today, the stock price of Lingyun Pharmaceutical had already broken through two hundred yuan. When it first went public, the stock price was five yuan. Even without counting dividends, the stock price had increased fortyfold. If dividends and bonus shares were factored in, the adjusted share price would be at least above five hundred yuan. That is to say, from the time it went public to now, the stock price of Lingyun Pharmaceutical had increased by about a hundredfold. When it first went public, Lingyun Pharmaceutical was a small company with a market value of around ten billion yuan, and now it had become a hundred billion yuan company, becoming a legend among many A-share listed companies.
Based on the current market value of one hundred billion yuan, fifty percent of the shares would be worth fifty billion yuan. Ouyang Feifei was asking for a lot, and to give Luo Ziling the controlling interest in Lingyun Pharmaceutical, she would have to contribute at least twenty to thirty percent of the shares for Luo Ziling to take control.
Assets worth at least a hundred billion yuan—Ouyang Feifei spoke so casually about giving them to Luo Ziling, how could Ling Ruonan not be shocked?
After regaining her composure, Ling Ruonan asked Ouyang Feifei, “You are so generous, what’s your purpose? Do you want to win my and Ziling’s favor with this gesture?”
Although it was indeed Ouyang Feifei’s intention, faced with Ling Ruonan’s direct question, she still denied it, “Mr. Ling must also know that, even though I am paying a big price, the ultimate return is very considerable. Whether it is the revenue from the sales of pharmaceutical products or the stock price increase, these earnings are definitely far more than my investment. If it’s a surefire profitable business, why wouldn’t I do it?”
Ling Ruonan observed Ouyang Feifei seriously for a few moments, feeling increased respect for the beautiful woman before her.
Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei were collectively known as the Yanjing Beauties. Both were very beautiful and talented, with outstanding abilities. Yet, she had to admit that at least for now, in terms of the charm of getting things done, the still-student Yang Qingyin couldn’t compare to Ouyang Feifei.
The reputation of Yang Qingyin had a lot to do with her identity as the princess of the Yang Family.
Yang Qingyin had a huge reputation among the wealthy circles, while Ouyang Feifei’s reputation was even more prominent in the business arena. Had the Ouyang Family also been one of Yanjing’s top-tier wealthy families, standing in the same rank as the Yang Family, Ling Family, Fang Family, and Chen Family, her reputation would have surely eclipsed that of Yang Qingyin, and there would be no such title as “Yanjing Beauties.”
“Since you’ve already thought it through, I have no objections either. In the future, I am also willing to cooperate with President Ouyang through some of the companies I control. If things go smoothly, Northern Group could also strengthen its collaboration with Lingyun Group.” Ling Ruonan was not one to hesitate; she was very decisive in handling matters and could make big decisions in an instant.
Ouyang Feifei took the initiative to reach out, and Ling Ruonan did not refuse, showing her sincerity.
Ouyang Feifei was naturally very pleased, and they discussed more detailed matters.
In the past, even when Ouyang Feifei personally participated in negotiations, she seldom spoke much, let alone stood up to explain the situation and clarify things. However, when dealing with Ling Ruonan, she did so naturally, feeling it entirely appropriate rather than out of place.
She hoped to change Ling Ruonan’s attitude and perception of her; hence, she spoke quite a bit to Ling Ruonan, worried that Luo Ziling’s strong-willed mother might misunderstand her intentions. Now it seemed that her efforts were paying off, as Ling Ruonan seemed to regard her with new respect.
She also took the opportunity to make a request, “Mr. Ling, don’t call me President Ouyang anymore, it feels too formal. Just call me Feifei, after all, my grandfather and Grandfather Luo have a good relationship, and our families are long-time friends. From now on, I won’t call you Mr. Ling either, I’ll call you Mrs. Ling, okay?”
“Of course, that’s fine,” Ling Ruonan agreed cheerfully.
At this moment, Luo Ziling finished his shower, blow-dried his hair, and came downstairs. Seeing the two women chatting happily, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
“What are you talking about that’s so fun?” he asked curiously as he sat down next to Ling Ruonan.
“Nothing much, we’ve finished talking,” Ling Ruonan smiled and didn’t plan to tell Luo Ziling about their conversation. Instead, she advised, “You must be tired today, you should rest early.”
Luo Ziling wanted to go back to his dormitory, so he shared his plan with Ling Ruonan, “Mom, I plan on going back to sleep in the dorm, I haven’t been there for several days, and the guys must be grumbling about me again.”
“Alright, then you go back,” Ling Ruonan also agreed and said to Ouyang Feifei with a smile, “How about you give him a ride?”
“Of course, no problem,” How could Ouyang Feifei refuse?
She still wanted to talk to Luo Ziling alone for a bit.
Seeing that it was almost six o’clock, Luo Ziling also quickly stood up, ready to leave.
As he stood up, he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t had dinner yet today.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said to Ling Ruonan, “Mom, have you had dinner?”
“I’m going to a work dinner, so I won’t be entertaining you guys. You’ll have to fend for yourself!” she said, glancing at Ouyang Feifei.
Ouyang Feifei naturally understood the meaning behind Ling Ruonan’s glance.
“Feifei and I haven’t eaten, and we don’t want to eat at the conference hotel,” Luo Ziling said, then asked Ouyang Feifei with a cheerful smile, “How about I treat you to noodles later? There’s a place near our school that makes delicious noodles, but I don’t know if you would mind?”
“Sure,” Ouyang Feifei agreed readily.
To maintain her figure, she often skipped dinner, sometimes just having fruit instead.
Today she had declined the meal at the conference group, actually wanting to have dinner with Luo Ziling.
Just now, Ling Ruonan treated her differently, showing enough trust. Although she didn’t dare to be completely certain about Ling Ruonan’s intentions, she didn’t want to miss such an opportunity. Besides, when Ling Ruonan gave her that look, how could she possibly refuse Luo Ziling’s invitation?
What do you think?
