After all preparations were completed, the Li Group announced the acquisition of Feiyu Drone Company, obtaining 50.1% of the company's shares and gaining absolute control of the company.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Shanshan announced that she would sell all of Feiyu Drone Company's drone patents to a new drone company under the Li Group.

At the same time, the Li Group parachuted in management personnel to Feiyu UAV Company and persuaded the company's key technical staff to transfer to the new company one by one.

In fact, it's not that simple to hollow out a company; the law imposes many restrictions in various aspects.

For example, the sale of patent rights cannot be lower than 90% of the market valuation; otherwise, it will be suspected of transferring benefits and will be deemed an invalid transfer.

However, a living person won't be driven to death by urine. There are many ways to circumvent the law and transfer the core interests of Feiyu Drone Company to other companies.

Why did the Lee Group transfer the patents first? Although the transfer of patents requires a large sum of money, once Feiyu Drones loses its patent rights, it will have to purchase patent licenses from the Lee Group at a high price if it wants to produce products again.

In addition, Li Xiaofeng could also use Feiyu UAV Company as his high-tech talent training base, and after the talent training was nearly complete, he could directly transfer the talent to his own company.

Talented individuals are not all the same. Even if they both graduated from prestigious universities and are highly capable, a fresh-faced newcomer and a seasoned veteran in the workplace are not the same.

Although experienced employees may have higher salaries, they are ready to be used immediately and can create value for the company right away, making them the core backbone of the company.

Newbies can only assist veterans with odd jobs and create limited value for the company.

Therefore, most companies prefer to hire experienced veterans rather than spend time and effort training novices.

In this era of rapid technological and internet development, the number of experienced professionals is limited. Newcomers, whom companies painstakingly train, often jump ship once they have learned the skills, causing significant losses to the company.

This is why various internet and high-tech companies often use headhunting firms to poach each other's veterans, resulting in fierce competition for talent.

After a brutal and malicious competition for talent, everyone realized that this disorderly competition was not a solution. Eventually, some unspoken rules gradually formed: one should not deliberately poach talent that others have worked hard to cultivate, otherwise the other party could retaliate.

However, Li Xiaofeng's actions were partly due to an internal traitor within his company, and partly because Dasheng Capital had taken the initiative. This was a retaliatory act and not considered a violation of the rules of the underworld.

Li Xiaofeng's actions were no secret in the internet and high-tech industry; insiders would understand them at a glance.

He wanted Feiyu Drone Company to work hard to develop a successful patent, and then sell it to the drone subsidiary wholly owned by the parent company, while he himself would have to pay a high price to purchase the patent usage fee.

Feiyu UAV Company also needs to cultivate technical backbones for its parent company. If others poach its talent, it will be condemned by its peers and suffer retaliation.

However, the Li Group openly and directly transferred people there, saving even the headhunting fees. No one in the industry would say anything; this was just a normal job transfer.

A company that does all the dirty and hard work but gets all the benefits to its parent company is definitely not going to have any future.

In the early days of reform and opening up, many national brands were acquired by foreign capital, which then drained their marketing channels and key personnel in a similar manner, leaving only an empty shell company.

In addition, the Li Group holds 50.1% of the shares in Feiyu UAV Company, which means that he can make any decision, such as never paying dividends to shareholders.

In this way, the shareholders are essentially trapped inside. No matter how many shares they own, they cannot obtain any benefits from the company. Instead, they have to continuously work for the benefit of others.

Pete, the R&D director of Feiyu UAV, was furious about the Li Group's obviously shady move and went to the Li Group's headquarters to argue with them.

After finding Tang Shanshan, he roared fiercely, "What are you trying to do? Are you planning to destroy this company?"

At this moment, he was negotiating with James of Dasheng Capital, but because Jiang Xueying had given him such a high price before, it was indeed difficult to get James to offer him an even higher price.

Therefore, the two are secretly competing, waiting for the other to back down.

But to his utter surprise, in the blink of an eye, the company boss changed, from a little lamb to a big crocodile.

Tang Shanshan lay comfortably in the boss's chair and said in a nonchalant tone, "Mr. Pete, don't you know what we want to do?"

Xueying gave you so many shares, and you're still not satisfied? Would you only be content if you had all the shares in the company?

Pete feigned innocence, shrugged, and said with some annoyance, "Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. You know, I'm one of the company's founders."

"Without me, this Feiyu drone company would never exist. What you're doing is robbing me of my personal property."

Tang Shanshan smiled and asked in a slightly teasing tone, "If that's the case, why didn't you start your own drone company instead of working for Xueying?"

Is it because you don't like it? Or is it because you simply can't come up with the initial capital to start a business, and you're unwilling to take the risk of failure?

"you......"

"Since you're out working, you should have some professional ethics. You can start your own business, but when you do, please don't take anything from the company."

In addition, people always do bad things secretly, trying to conceal their intentions as much as possible before things are finalized.

"And you, you idiot, came all this way with such fanfare, making it known to everyone that you're taking your tech team and leaving. Are you sure you can take advantage of Xueying's timid nature, that she won't have the nerve to argue with you?"

Pete roared angrily, "You're slandering me! All those things you said don't exist. I'm still an employee of Feiyu Drone Company, and I need to protect my interests."

"If you dare to drain the company dry, I will sue you. I am the company's R&D director, and I hold a significant stake in the company."

Tang Shanshan smiled and said, "It's okay, go ahead and sue. All our actions are within the framework of the law. If you still have any questions, you can consult a lawyer."

We own 50.1% of the company's shares, and we have the final right to interpret all of the company's operations and arrangements.
