Yang Mi did take part in a 300 million bet! Compared with her success, Zhang Lan's bet has been bloodwashed by capital! Wang Xiaofei's mother, Ms. Zhang Lan, who is now active in selling Hot and Sour Rice Noodles in the studio, once said she wanted to turn South Beauty into a LV in the catering industry, and at her best she was the only Chinese food provider for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. When business was booming, Ms. Zhang Lan thought of going public and dozed off with a pillow. At this time, "Dinghui Investment" stepped forward to invest 200 million yuan in South Beauty, and of course she had to sign a "gambling agreement." Bet that South Beauty will be listed in the next four years, and if it succeeds, investors will withdraw at a profit; if not, Zhang Lan will not only have to pay back the 200 million yuan, but also have to add an annualized rate of return of 20% (which is ridiculously high). This is all the case with Dinghui, and several additional clauses have been added. In 2011, Zhang Lan submitted an application for listing to A-shares. As we all know, South Beauty's listing application was terminated. At that time, there were still 8 months to go before the end of the gambling agreement. Then Zhang Lan hurriedly went to Hong Kong to list. Unexpectedly, the two listings failed at that time, so the buyback agreement on the gambling agreement was triggered. Coupled with the financial crisis in recent years, South Beauty could not come up with so much money to return Dinghui. As a result, it triggers the "acquisition and liquidation priority" of the additional clause. At this time, Dinghui found CVC, an European private equity big brother, and bought the 82.7% shares of Dinghui and Zhang Lan for 300 million US dollars. Finally, Zhang Lan left the scene sadly. In essence, the bet is that the investor and the financier sit on the gambling table, but the gambler itself sits on the bank, belonging to the dominant side. Of course, this itself is a "double-edged sword", with a good win-win, not a good use of the natural loss of corporate control.
