Unexpectedly, he wore a pair of myopic glasses and looked gentle and refined, not at all like a businessman accustomed to intrigue and deception.
After I met him, I introduced him to him: "This is Mr. Fu Hongjun, the helmsman of Anjie Auto Parts Co., Ltd. and an important shareholder of Daxun Group."
When He Zhibin heard that my teacher was one of the shareholders of Daxun Group, he immediately looked at him carefully.
After the two shook hands and exchanged greetings, we walked into the suite in the room, which provided an excellent private environment for the subsequent confidential conversation.
I was the first to break the silence: "Mr. He may not know that Mr. Fu was my mentor when I was in the factory. We have a deep friendship, both as a teacher and a friend. Therefore, I must do my best in his work."
I pointed out this relationship bluntly, hoping that He Zhibin would let down his guard when we first met.
He Zhibin narrowed his eyes and looked at me, then chuckled, "County Magistrate Guan is not only well-informed, but also a man who values friendship and loyalty."
I smiled back, "Mr. He, you are too kind. We are country folk who have never seen the world, so we naturally put our own interests first. I am facilitating the meeting between Mr. He and Mr. Fu today for my own benefit."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on me, waiting for me to explain in detail.
I put on a flattering smile and said, "As the saying goes, it's good to lean on a big tree for shade. In my career, I also want to find a towering tree."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhibin and I met each other's eyes, and we understood each other and smiled.
He said slowly: "County Magistrate Guan is so young and yet he holds an important position. He is no ordinary person. However, I have no interest in officialdom. Making money is my lifelong pursuit."
I nodded and said, "It's only natural to talk about business in business." Then I winked at the division commander, and Fu Hongjun understood what I meant. He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to me, and I passed them to He Zhibin.
Before He Zhibin saw the share certificate with his own eyes, he naturally would not discuss it in depth with us.
He Zhibin lowered his head and flipped through the document I handed over, his eyes moving between the lines, then slowly raised his eyes, closed the document and handed it back to me. He asked calmly and steadily, "Mr. Fu, are you interested in transferring the 20% stake in Daxun Group?"
Faced with this question, it was inconvenient for me to answer on behalf of the teacher, so I turned my gaze to the teacher.
The teacher followed my instructions and said, "To be honest, my company has been eager to expand in the past two years and has taken too big a step. As a result, I have borrowed a lot of money from banks and private individuals. Now I am under great pressure and it is difficult to breathe. Therefore, I plan to reluctantly sell these shares at a reasonable price."
He Zhibin showed a difficult expression on his face: "County Magistrate Guan, thank you for your matchmaking, but for business matters, I hope to discuss it with Mr. Fu alone."
Although his request was unexpected to me, it was reasonable.
I quickly stood up and responded: "Of course, of course, I'll take my leave first. I hope you can work together."
After saying that, I said goodbye and left, and at the same time, I took the opportunity to pass a look to the teacher, indicating that he could talk with confidence according to my plan.
At this moment, He Zhibin whispered behind me: "County Magistrate Guan, I look forward to seeing you again in the provincial capital in a few days."
I waited anxiously in the car for an hour, feeling a little uneasy, fearing that my teacher would not be able to compete with the shrewd He Zhibin.
When the teacher came down, his face was solemn, and I couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in my heart.
I couldn't wait to ask, "Is everything going well?"
The teacher did not answer directly, but said with a dull expression: "His attitude was ambiguous and he did not give a clear response. He said he would consider it again."
I nodded to show my understanding: "It makes sense for him to ask for instructions from his master behind the scenes."
Shi 꿵 said, "Hongjun, you can't make decisions on your own on this matter. It's better to discuss it with General Lin."
At this moment, I felt that there was no need to hide anything from Lin Xun any longer, so I said, "Master, please wait a moment. I will go and check out of the room, and we will go to find Lin Xun together."
The teacher leaned back in the chair tiredly: "I have already checked out of the room. Let's go find Mr. Lin now."
I started the car and drove towards the new city area.
On the way, I called Lin Xun and agreed to meet in Yuntai Jixian.
After meeting Lin Xun, I gave my teacher a brief account of my plan and the meeting with He Zhibin.
After hearing this, Lin Xun's face was solemn: "Guan Hongjun, you are taking a risk. Now that you have exposed these shares, what will you do if they follow the clues and find you here?"
I responded confidently: "They are only after profits, they don't care who actually owns these shares, there is no need to worry too much."
Shi 꿵놅's thoughts coincided with Lin Xun's: "I think Mr. Lin is right. This matter is indeed a bit risky."
I waved my hand to interrupt the argument: "Now that things have come to this, we don't have to dwell on it anymore. What I am most worried about now is whether He Zhibin and the people behind him will take the bait."
The master said: "During my conversation with him, I could sense that he didn't care whether the shares came from me or from Mr. Lin. He only cared about the price cost. To put it bluntly, he felt that our plan could not maximize his profits."
I said indignantly, "How greedy."
Lin Xun suggested: "In my opinion, I should transfer a portion of my shares to them. This way, there will be no need to take risks."
I flatly refused: "If you do what you want, it will be the biggest risk. We have not yet fully understood their true intentions. If they just want to make a quick profit, it's fine. But if they have ulterior motives and want to take over the control of Daxun, then what you do is tantamount to handing them a knife and letting them cut your flesh."
After listening to my analysis, Lin Xun and Fu Hongjun also realized the risks involved.
I continued, "We'll know their real purpose by seeing whether they accept the offer. If they just want to make quick money, Shi Wo's shares are more attractive to them. According to the regulations of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the lock-up period for Shi Wo's corporate shares after listing is 12 months. Mr. Lin is the controlling shareholder, so the lock-up period is 36 months."
Shi 꿵 admitted: "I don't know much about these regulations, but if it is true as Hongjun said, I feel they may accept it."
Lin Xun was worried: "This is not what I am most concerned about. What I am worried about is that you set up this bet. What if they win? How will you deal with it?"
I chuckled: "If they really have the ability to win, it will be a happy ending for everyone." There are some things that I can't say clearly. Zhang Fangfang has been under tremendous pressure. If she can escape and cash in these shares, it will be a good thing for me.
Lin Xun stared at me, as if he realized that I had something to hide, so he cleverly changed the subject: "There are always winners and losers in gambling. What if they can't afford to lose and turn against us? Wouldn't trouble still be inevitable? After all, we can't afford to provoke them."
My eyes were deep and firm, and I said slowly: "Then find a middleman who can make them willing to admit defeat."
