Gujia Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Gujia Home", stock code: "603816") recently issued an announcement, saying that it has received a notice from Ningbo Infore Ruihe Investment Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Infore Ruihe Investment"), Gujia Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Gujia Group") and TB Home Limited (hereinafter referred to as "TB Home") that Gujia Group and TB Home have held a total of 241, 838,695 shares of Gujia Home Furnishing shares were transferred to Infore Ruihe Investment, and the transfer procedures have been completed.
After the completion of the transaction, Infore Ruihe Investment held 29.42% of the shares, becoming the largest shareholder of the company, and the Gu Jiangsheng family's shareholding decreased to 18.02%. The controlling shareholder of Gujia Home Furnishing has been changed from Gujia Group to Infore Ruihe Investment, and the actual controller of the company will also be changed from Gu Jiangsheng, Gu Yuhua and Ms. Wang Huoxian to He Jianfeng.
After the completion of this transaction, Infore Ruihe Investment became the controlling shareholder of Gujia Home.
This means that Gujia Home Furnishing is no longer "surnamed Gu", but has become the "prince" of Midea and the assets of He Jianfeng, the only son of He Xiangjian.
Gu Jiangsheng's family cashed out 1.42 billion less
Infore Group was established in 1994 and has been 29 years. The chairman of Infore Group is the only son of He Xiangjian, the actual controller of Midea Group, He Jianfeng.
He Jianfeng currently serves as a director of Midea Group, but does not participate in the daily operation of Midea Group, which is responsible for the operation of a team of professional managers headed by Fang Hongbo, chairman and president of the company.
Infore Group's industrial layout in the five major fields of environment, culture, investment, science and technology, and consumption, has listed companies "Infore Environment", "Baina Qiancheng", and also has brands such as Momi Children's Wear and Huayi International, with a business scale of nearly 20 billion yuan in 2021.
Behind this seeking to control Gujia Group, Infore Group is also seeking to further expand and integrate its business territory.
In the early years, Gu Jiangsheng followed his father Gu Yuhua to cultivate the family business. After Gu Yuhua handed over the business to Gu Jiangsheng, Gu Jiangsheng learned from Midea and de-familyized the business.
For example, He Xiangjian handed over the family industry to Fang Hongbo, and Gu Jiangsheng poached Li Donglai, vice president of Midea Group, from Midea to be the president of the company.
From this point of view, it is not surprising that Gu Family Home Furnishing and He Jianfeng, the eldest son of Midea, talk about cooperation. However, friends are friends, and business is business.
In November 2023, Infore Ruihe Investment transferred a total of 241,838,695 shares of Gujia Home held by Gujia Group and TB Home by way of agreement transfer, accounting for 29.42% of the total share capital of Gujia Home, with a transfer price of 42.5846 yuan per share and a total transfer price of 10.3 billion yuan.
In just one and a half months, the agreement was changed to Infore Ruihe Investment to transfer a total of 241,838,695 shares of Gujia Home held by Gujia Group and TB Home by way of agreement transfer, accounting for 29.42% of the total share capital of Gujia Home, the transfer price was adjusted to 36.7187 yuan per share, and the total transfer price was adjusted to 8.88 billion yuan.
He Jianfeng slashed the price of Gujia Home, and the purchase price dropped directly from 10.3 billion to 8.88 billion. This also means that Gu Jiangsheng's family has cashed out 1.42 billion yuan less.
And Gu Jiangsheng's family is still willing to take the controlling stake, which also shows that it is resolute.
