Chapter 577 The Most Important
The light from outside the glass window illuminates the VIP room.
The contents of the secret talks cannot be made public.
Zhong Jiasheng pays great attention to details. If he needs to deal with someone face to face, he will never approach them rashly without thoroughly understanding the person in advance.
This was not the first time the two met. The last time was at the Ding family’s opening party.
As for this young man, Sir Lu had heard a thing or two from his second son-in-law before he met him.
He is calm and reserved, yet as sharp as a knife and cannot be underestimated.
“It is truly commendable that young people have the courage to recommend themselves.
I can agree to both of your conditions, but what can you do to help me take over Jiulongcang?"
It was the first time that Sir Lu met someone who took the initiative to contact him, handed him documents and went straight for benefits.
“Mr. Lui, just help me to borrow HK$50 million from HSBC Bank before the end of December 1979.
I promise that you will get what you want by next May at the latest."
The benefits he wanted will be obtained next month, but his work will not be successful until May next year.
The component is too big.
Sir Lu questioned, "Why should I trust you?"
"If you don't believe it, there's no need to talk about it."
Zhong Jiasheng pinched his weakness and said, "Mr. Lu, you have no way out and no solution.
The shipping industry is sinking, and if it does not transform at the fastest speed, it will be doomed. "
He smiled hypocritically, pretending to be kind, but his words were quite aggressive.
If it wasn't for Lin Yiyi, he wouldn't have done anything too borderline predatory.
Zhong Jiasheng would never expose himself too early in front of Sir Lu, who has more power, financial resources and connections.
“Since I dare to contact you, I won’t fight an unprepared battle.
The betting time for this horse race is over, so I have to leave."
"...Young people still need to be patient."
Sir Lu has been in business for many years and his courage and vision are absolutely extraordinary. He made up his mind in a flash.
"...I agree to your terms."
Zhong Jiasheng curled his lips and said, "Then please sign the contract I drafted first, Mr. Lu."
Sir Lu took out the document bag he had received a few days ago from his briefcase. He had read all the regulations inside and found that they were compliant with the law and without any loopholes.
After he signs, put his fingerprints, official seal and personal seal.
Zhong Jiasheng took the information and carefully checked the four 32-page documents, and his eyes fell on the 8,000-square-meter warehouse area in the southwest corner of Jiulongcang Wharf.
A flash of triumph flashed across his eyes.
"From 1974 to 1978, the Yihe Group reduced its stake in Changjiu Longcang to 20% and had no plans to develop this large L-shaped port site."
“It all comes down to historical reasons, and the lease is about to expire.
We spent a lot of money to develop Jiulong warehouse, but we have to withdraw our investment and leave Hong Kong before we can make a profit.”
Sir Lu also knows this, but he still has nearly 20 years to plan slowly.
He really can't afford to delay or waste time.
Zhong Jiasheng glanced at his expression and continued to analyze the current situation.
"No one has the ability to take over Jiulongcang before it is developed and before the stock price rises. Even less can anyone take over the large-scale hardcover market after it is developed."
"So...from the perspective of the Yihe Group, the most profitable thing is to continue using Jiulong Warehouse as a dock."
"Go on." Sir Lu saw him stop and urged him.
"According to my calculations, the Yihe Group actually intends to sell Jiulongcang, but they want to make more money before doing so."
“That’s why we sent our subsidiary Yanlord Land to compete with you for the Jiulongcang shares on the market.
In fact, it is just to drive up the stock price in order to make more money.”
Although this was something he did using an anonymous letter, Zhong Jiasheng looked calm and did not feel guilty at all.
"The current share price is HK$75 per share, and continuing acquisitions will pose a big problem in terms of funding.
Mr. Lu has a wide network of contacts and can ask Fenghui Bank for a loan, but it is not worth spending twice as much to do the same thing. "
"...Since you know all this, how do you resolve this situation?"
Sir Lu looked at the young man in front of him with a different eye. Why didn't he have a son like him?
“You have been stalemate with Jiulongcang for such a long time, and the biggest problem that has kept the stalemate going is that the stock price is too high.
Retail investors have already cashed out their stocks.
Most of the remaining shares are held by company directors and business associates.”
Zhong Jiasheng checked the time and spoke faster, "My method is to let Mr. Lu sell 1% of Jiulongcang shares every day for 4 consecutive days.
If someone buys at a high price, you make a profit; if no one buys, the stock price falls.”
"Mr. Lu took the initiative to open a gap, causing the stock price to fall to the limit for several days.
Those who have a lot of stocks behind the scenes will definitely not sit idly by.
It doesn't matter whether you lock in profits or just follow the trend and play it safe.
If you buy at a low price at this time, the stock price will be lower than HK$75.”
These words made people's eyes and minds clear, and their minds were suddenly enlightened.
Lord Lu clapped his hands and cheered, "Great, great, great, great way to retreat in order to advance, your idea is really brilliant."
"..." His method cannot be implemented by someone else.
Zhong Jiasheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
In fact, the biggest key point of the series of operations is that there are only three British banks in Hong Kong.
Lending was tightened because of the oil crisis.
Sir Lu has the support of HSBC Bank. Others cannot get cash flow loans, but he definitely can.
When a smart person does something, saying it once is enough.
10 minutes, just the right amount of time.
Zhong Jiasheng picked up the file bag on the table, said a few polite words and walked out.
…
Marseille number selection.
Lin Yiyi asked the two kids to choose a number each. If they won, they would ask the man with the wallet to buy French fries and happy water for the three of them.
If you lose, the little ones must love each other, not quarrel, fight, or spit at each other within seven days.
I don't know who I learned this bad habit from, but when I disagree with something, I just spit.
As soon as Zhong Jiasheng entered the room, he saw three figures standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. He walked closer with slow steps and heard Xiaobutian and Xingan discussing how to spend all the money in his wallet.
I'm going to go shopping in the department store when I get home.
I also need to buy three large glasses of black soda.
Yang Wanwan and Lin Yan's relationship is rather quiet, and they are mostly busy with their own things.
It will never be as interesting as my cousin's house.
There’s fun to be found in the little things.
Lin Yiyi saw the reflection on the glass and immediately passed the blame on to others.
"Mommy will ask your daddy for permission later. You can't be too greedy and want everything."
“…”
Youyou and Mozi looked at Mommy with question marks on their faces, not understanding why she said those words.
Didn’t mommy just offer to buy French fries?
Lin Yiyi smiled gently, looking like a good mother.
"Okay, the game is about to start, so let's end this topic."
Zhong Jiasheng sneered, did not expose her trick, and walked around to sit on the sofa.
Watch the game quietly with my wife and young son.
Of course, with the little chatterbox around, it’s not very quiet.
Mozi hugged his daddy's arm and sat back obediently.
Youyou was not to be outdone and hugged his daddy's other arm.
Lin Yiyi, wearing a men's gray coat, was squeezed into the corner next to the sofa. She found two chocolates in her bag.
Hiding quietly aside and eating alone.
No matter how quietly you do it, you can't escape the eyes of someone who is paying attention.
Marseille reached the second round, halfway point.
Zhong Jiasheng and Lin Yan went outside to smoke and talk.
"Has yesterday's incident been resolved?"
Lin Yan threw away the burnt matchstick and said, "It's not that easy to deal with. For now, I can only deal with it perfunctorily."
"Yang Yuhao is also shameless, he failed to manage the business properly, and he ran away faster than anyone else to get his share of the pie.
He wants to take back Greenland Land and Qiquan Farming now, how is that possible? The agreement in black and white is not just for show. "
It was rare for Zhong Jiasheng to hear him complain, which showed that he was really angry. "You have an agreement and contract, so don't bother with him."
Thinking of the farce of grabbing the official seal yesterday, he smiled and asked, "The internal business of Greenland Land has been suspended. How have you arranged the matters with the builder and the design department for me?"
“The design drawings are fine, but it’s a little complicated to break them down and recruit construction workers.
You already have a professional team, why do you have to recruit half of them individually?
It is difficult to manage and screen casual workers who do not work as a team.”
“…”
Zhong Jiasheng couldn't say that he was doing good deeds to accumulate virtue, as he himself found it funny to say it out loud.
So he made up a high-sounding excuse.
"Hong Kong's economy is bad and there are many unemployed people. Recruiting some of these workers can help more families get through the difficult times temporarily."
"..."The swindler who ripped off investors' wallets actually has a moment of conscience?
Lin Yan was choked by a puff of smoke and started coughing violently.
After finally calming down, he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and asked with a smile, "Jiasheng, do you need me to introduce you to some friends in charity?"
“Tsk.”
Zhong Jiasheng heard his ill intentions, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and did not respond.
In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, the second round of competition began.
…
The sun is about to reach its highest point in the sky.
Sun Fei followed the introducer to several places before choosing a suitable cemetery.
The permanent one costs a little more at HK$36,000.
Liang Hao only asked whether it was the best price and then paid cash and signed the purchase contract.
"If it's not the normal price, this cemetery will accommodate you."
The introducer was so frightened that he stood there in a daze. The man was strong and healthy, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person. He did not dare to bid a random price.
"Don't worry, sir. Hengxiangtang is an ancestral funeral business. If you have any questions or are dissatisfied, we support a refund without reason within seven days."
Liang Hao and Sun Fei are both sober and rational people. It only took them one morning to arrange all of Sun's father's funeral affairs.
Of course, a lot of money was spent.
Return home after finishing work.
Lianghao was worried that his father-in-law might not live for many days, which would delay the wedding, so he couldn't help but urge him, "Feifei, when are you going to hold the banquet?"
He had given out a lot of money as gifts in the past, so he could make some of his money back by hosting the wedding banquet this time.
Sun Fei originally wanted to say let's talk about it later, but considering the reality, she could only smile and say the sooner the better.
She is now unemployed and is taking care of her parents, so she doesn't have much energy to spare for other things.
"Brother Hao, thank you for taking care of the banquet. I have no objection to any arrangement you make."
In order to avoid trouble, Sun Fei took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the relatives of the woman who needed to be invited.
All together, there are only enough people for two tables.
Seeing that she didn't look well, Liang Hao collected the guest list and let her go back to her room to rest.
He turned and went downstairs to the market to buy ingredients.
Prepare to make a sweet soup in the afternoon.
Sun Fei was feeling a little uneasy. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, feeling uncomfortable all over.
I feel a little nauseous for some unknown reason.
