Lu Fan is interested in acquiring Hongxin Plaza.

But Sun Dehu felt it was really difficult at the time.

Times change.

The initial disagreement between the two has completely vanished with the sale of one of their properties.

Neither Lu Fan nor Sun Dehu expected things to turn out this way. Lu Fan chuckled as he received the call.

"I told you long ago that the Wang family may seem to be large and prosperous, but it is not a monolithic entity. Behind its large population, it is not only a case of attracting the wind, but also has many unfilial sons and spendthrift sons!"

Sun Dehu also felt a pang of sympathy:

"With President Lu's expansion in Nanshan City, the Wang family's ship is decaying very quickly."

At least Sun Dehu hadn't noticed any overt actions by Lu Fan regarding the Wang family's business lately.

The Wang family couldn't hold back any longer and started selling off their shares.

Sun Dehu shook his head, deciding to suppress his regret towards the Wang family, and said to Lu Fan:

"Speaking of which, it was the Wang family's carelessness. The development of this square was approved seven years ago, but they waited until the Wang family was in dire straits before construction began." Now, the construction is complete, but unfortunately, there is a lack of follow-up funding. Other facilities have not been developed, and they plan to sell over a hundred shops.

Lu Fan pondered:

"It seems that the Wang family's cash flow is really in serious trouble, otherwise they wouldn't be willing to sell these shops."

Sun Dehu said with certainty:

"Yes, that's exactly what they need to do to recoup their funds. It seems they really lost a lot of money in the stock market before."

As a result, Sun Dehu's scheme backfired, and Lu Fan ended up making a lot of money thanks to Sun Dehu's foresight.

And for many foreseeable days to come, he will continue to make a fortune by stepping on the bones of the Wang family.

Sun Dehu knew that Lu Fan was very interested in the Wang family's Hongxin Plaza, which is why he contacted Lu Fan immediately when one of the units couldn't keep up with demand.

"I've calculated the profits from stock trading recently, Mr. Lu. Let alone just one shop, taking over dozens or even hundreds of shops wouldn't be a problem."

Lu Fan was naturally aware of this, since the money for stock trading had been deposited into his account.

The only real problem is his identity:

“Sun Dehu, I cannot show my face at this company.”

Otherwise, if the Wang family found out, they would probably rather let it rot in their hands than sell it to Lu Fan.

Just like the soy sauce food factory back then, Lu Fan never intended to personally acquire it.

It was Lü Qiuyi who took the lead and finalized the acquisition plan for Lu Fan. Wang Mingtang and Wang Wei, the uncle and nephew, also played a crucial role in facilitating the deal; otherwise, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Now, not just in Nanshan City, but throughout the whole country, who hasn't heard of Hongxin Plaza?

Whether it's the Wang family or the huge signboard of Hongxin Plaza, it's hard to imagine Lu Fan, an outsider, standing there.

Even among the many wealthy local businessmen in Nanshan City, aren't there any who want to take a gamble?

It's a gamble to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. The Wang family is probably worried that Hongxin Plaza will also become the asset of other large capital groups and take on someone else's name.

The best way is to break down and sell these 100 shops. This way, we can keep the Hongxin brand in our own hands, and it will be easier to fool retail investors, right?

Sun Dehu fell silent after listening to Lu Fan's analysis, and after a long while asked, "So, Mr. Lu, you don't want it anymore?"

Splitting the shares into smaller, individual investors wouldn't have much of an effect on Lu Fan.

Whether it's suppressing the Wang family or using a point-to-area approach to encircle and annihilate the rival, Lu Fan chuckled, "We have to knowingly venture into the tiger's den. We can't give up such a large piece of the pie just because there are some difficulties." Sun Dehu became even more puzzled: "What does Mr. Lu mean?" Lu Fan didn't rush to explain, but instead asked in return:

"Do you think the Wang family will personally handle the sale of the property, or will they find a reliable intermediary to responsibly promote it for the buyer?"

Sun Dehu choked:

"They'll definitely go through an intermediary. The Wang family can't afford to lose face like this. If outsiders find out that the Wang family has to sell their ancestral assets to raise funds, what will happen to the stock market?"

Having already suffered a major setback in the stock market, they were forced to sell off a large number of assets.

If things escalate further, the stock market will become volatile, and the Wang family will suffer heavy losses. Lu Fan understood this, as did Sun Dehu.

He paused after saying this:

"Can we buy it directly from the agent? Or do we need to bribe the agent?"

Lu Fan chuckled:

"Why bother bribing the intermediary? There's no need to waste that 3.9 yuan."

"It just so happens that a lot of my relatives have come over, and we don't have any houses or property here yet."

"Let's take this opportunity to acquire a few more properties for the family, both young and old."

This generous demeanor and nonchalant tone made Sun Dehu gasp in shock.

So this is what it means to be related to President Lu – you can get hundreds of millions of assets so easily.

Sun Dehu swallowed hard and asked:

"Does Mr. Lu have a younger sister? If not, an older sister will do too."

If Lu Fan had any unmarried sisters, he could tell Sun Dehu to divorce his wife and remarry, even if it meant marrying into her family.
