Zhang Qinghan, Xiang Wanjie, and Zhao Mengzhi were sitting on one side, while Yamashita Ryosuke and his assistant were sitting on the other side.
After the acquisition of Tianqi, the stock was not fully recovered and it did not require too many shareholders. These few people formed the core group of Xintianqi's power. However, the people sitting opposite not only did not share the same thoughts with him, but were also enemies whose details were unknown.
After receiving the news, Zhang Qinghan first asked people to check the Filipinos who bought the stocks, but before they could find out, they were suddenly changed to Japanese. This is the advantage and disadvantage of free economy.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. The other party has been prepared and keeps changing hands, just to catch Xin Tianqi off guard. Not knowing the details of the other party, I didn¡¯t know where to start.
Yamashita Ryosuke was like a guest. He didn¡¯t express any opinions, nor did he have any opinions on other people¡¯s suggestions. He was just asked why he opposed the last contract proposal, and he gave a very simple answer. During the stock change, I don¡¯t know much about Tianqi¡¯s situation, so I can¡¯t agree.
This argument is completely unreasonable. If you don¡¯t understand a company, why would you acquire so many shares? Zhang Qinghan wouldn¡¯t argue with Ryosuke Yamashita, because that would make no sense. The opponent is just showing his face, the real trump card is not here, this is just a delaying tactic.
The meeting was very short, and Ryosuke Yamashita left early before Quwen arrived, citing his busy work schedule.
¡° However, it was already past two o¡¯clock in the afternoon when Qu Wen arrived in Hong Kong, and it was impossible for Yamashita Ryosuke to wait until that time.
With Tao Jingying, Ouyang Qin, and Qu Wen, they came to Zhang Qinghan¡¯s office in Xintianqi.
"What's the matter, are you so anxious to call me back?" Looking at Zhang Qinghan's expression, Qu Wen also felt that the situation was serious. He was the pride of the Chinese business community. Nothing had ever troubled him so much before.
"Let's take a look." Zhang Qinghan picked up a stack of information from the table and handed it to Qu Wen. As long as he knew the identity of the other person, he could basically find out the details of a person in half a day.
The first page of the information is the personal profile of Ryosuke Yamashita, the second director of Xintianqi. From the personal profile, there is nothing special. He is just a director of a Japanese company called Heyuan Group, but there is another article at the bottom. He also serves as an investment adviser to Japan's Abe family in the energy industry.
Others may not know much about the Abe family, but Qu Wen knows very well that there is still an unresolved hatred between him and the Abe family.
At the same time, the Abe family is a partner of the Yamaguchi-gumi. It is not difficult to know the purpose of attacking Xintianqi at this time. It is obviously to suppress and contain themselves in business. But Zhang Qinghan didn't know about this. He thinks this is just a purely commercial war.
"What's so scary about two Japanese companies joining forces? Can't we beat them?" Qu Wen put down the information. In the past, he would have been worried. With the current strength of Xintianqi and Jingcheng Industry, they shouldn't be afraid of the two Japanese companies. Join forces.
"You said it so easily. Two Japanese companies are not terrible. What if two more are added?" Zhang Qinghan handed over another piece of information: "I have very good reason to doubt it. The two consortiums in the Philippines and Malaysia also have participate."
The first person to show purchase of Xintianqi shares was the MS Group of the Philippines. Its predecessor was questionable. Since the opening of the first large-scale shopping mall in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, in 1985, after more than 20 years of development, it has owned more than 41 large-scale shopping malls in Asia. A comprehensive shopping mall that also owns real estate development, hotels, tourism and leisure, and banking and finance industries, it is a very famous multinational group in Southeast Asia.
The other company is the Malaysian Sarawak Group that Qu Wen once offended. At that time, Sarawak's Shaodong offended Ouyang Qin and Tao Jingying at Quhanyuan International Pavilion, and was forcibly thrown out by Quwen's people. This time they teamed up to snipe Xintianqi, mostly for revenge.
A small Japanese company is not terrible, and the Abe family can also fight, plus the MS Group and the Sarawak Group, it really makes Xintianqi's situation very embarrassing.
"So these four major groups are ready to join forces to devour Xintianqi?" Qu Wen didn't have as strong a business acumen as Zhang Qinghan, so he could only ask directly.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. The earliest news I found was only MS and Sarawak. I just found out this morning that the Abe family is also involved. And we hold the absolute controlling stake in Xintianqi, and they want to do something in the stock The article won't make much waves. I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy behind this. I asked you to come back because I want to discuss something with you." Zhang Qinghan has never been so serious, and he downplays many things. Solved, he said these words to Qu Wen in an extremely determined tone.
Qu Wen knows Zhang Qinghan. He also trusts Zhang Qinghan, just like he trusts himself. He didn't even bother to read the newly obtained information, so he just asked: "What's the matter?"
"II want you to temporarily hand over the power of director of Xintianqi and the power of director of Quhanyuan to me. "
"What?" Qu Wen didn't say anything, but Tao Jingying called out first.
Xintianqi Zhang Qinghan has shares in it and is also the major shareholder of Xintianqi. It is understandable that Qu Wen should hand over the power of director to him when Xintianqi gets into trouble, but Zhang Qinghan of Quhanyuan has no share at all, so why should Qu Wen Wen gave him the power of director of Qu Hanyuan, which was unreasonable from a business perspective.
What happened?
Is it a world war? It's still a show within a show. Tao Jingying doesn't trust Zhang Qinghan as much as Qu Wen. Naturally, she can't believe that he has no other purpose in doing this. You must know that Xintianqi is just Qu Wen's money-making tool, and Qu Hanyuan is Qu Wen's. Wen¡¯s hard work and lifeblood. If Quhanyuan disappears, how big of a blow will it have to Quwen.
But Tao Jingying knew Qu Wen. He valued brotherhood more than money. If it was someone he approved of, he could leave his life to him.
Sure enough, Qu Wen¡¯s answer was not surprising.
"Okay, I will talk to Brother Lu in a moment, but there must be a time limit. If it is too long, it may affect the development of Quhanyuan. You also know that Quhanyuan is not only mine, but also Brother Lu and the others' hard work."
"Thank you!" Zhang Qinghan didn't show any surprise. He knew Qu Wen and knew that he would definitely promise him.
"You don't need to thank me for being a brother. I'll tell you first. We won't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it. If someone comes to trouble us, let's do our best to those scoundrels." Qu Wen dared to hand over the power of Qu Hanyuan. Zhang Qinghan means understanding Zhang Qinghan¡¯s character. Get to know the Zhang family. Given the status and reputation of the Zhang family in the country, no matter how cunning they are, they will not cooperate with the Japanese. Zhang Qinghan has money now, but what he needs is reputation. He will not ruin the reputation he has worked so hard to save for such a thing.
It¡¯s rare that Qu Wen came back from the United States, and it¡¯s rare that Zhang Qinghan didn¡¯t treat him to dinner. In the evening at the Repulse Bay Villa, Ouyang Qin and Tao Jingying cooked a few side dishes.
Tao Jingying didn¡¯t understand Zhang Qinghan and disapproved of Qu Wen handing Quhan Academy over to him, but Ouyang Qin understood that, like Qu Wen, she knew that Zhang Qinghan would not make a fuss about this matter. Zhang Qinghan must have felt that it was necessary to do this. Now Xintianqi, Jingchengli, and Quhanyuan are all in one. Stocks influence each other. If you go to war with the enemy, without unified mobilization capabilities, it will be difficult to win the battle.
"If the other party dares to attack Xin Tianqi, doesn't the other party know your relationship with the Ouyang family?" Ouyang Qin put a piece of meat into Qu Wen's bowl and asked at the same time.
"You should know." Qu Wen doesn't have the business acumen of Zhang Qinghan. But he is not a fool. Every smart businessman understands the principle of knowing yourself and the enemy. How can the other party take action without investigating clearly? From this, it is certain that the other party has already included the Ouyang family, and may even include the Tao family, the Yin family, and even other foreign aid who can help him. "You'd better tell your grandfather about this in advance. I'm worried that the Guo family will also be involved."
"It's the same as I thought." Ouyang Qin said.
Although Lan Yumin hates the Guo family. But his son is also the grandson of Guo Boxhan after all. In order to take revenge on the Guo family, he has already caused misery to the Guo family. Now that he wants to deal with Qu Wen, he might as well borrow the Guo family in turn. Lan Yumin and Guo Boxhan have always been on the same side in their attitudes towards the Ouyang family.
"Jingying, you'd better tell your dad. I always feel that what the other party wants to deal with is not Xintianqi but Awen."
******************************************
The mountain road is quiet and straight, leading directly to the Guo family. A Toyota car worth hundreds of thousands slowly drove into the Guo family gate.
Before reaching the door, the Guo family's bodyguard seemed to know him and took the initiative to open the door without asking. Guo Youtai, dressed in a dark blue suit, stood at the door of the main building to greet him.
The car stopped and the Guo family¡¯s bodyguard helped open the door. Yamashita Ryosuke, who had appeared in Xintianqi during the day, got out of the car.
Guo Youtai walked to the side. He took the initiative to reach out to Ryosuke Yamashita and said with a smile in English: "Mr. Yamashita, welcome to your arrival."
"Dear Guo, we are old friends and don't need to be so polite. If today goes well, we can become comrades in arms." Yamashita Ryosuke replied politely and shook Guo Youtai's hand warmly.
"I hope so." Guo Youtai turned sideways and invited Yamashita Ryosuke into the room. At this time, Guo Boshan was waiting inside.
Chinese people like tea, and Japanese people also like tea. Knowing that it was a Japanese person coming, a pot of fragrant tea was already prepared on the coffee table in the hall.
Tea is Japanese tea, and 90% of the tea produced in Japan is green tea, making the classification of green tea extremely detailed.
Yamashita Ryousuke smelled it from a distance and praised it first: "I didn't expect to encounter the best Shizuoka tea here." After finishing speaking, Yamashita Ryousuke imitated the Chinese people and raised his hands to greet Guo Boshan: "Junior YamashitaRyosuke meets Mr. Guo. "
"Sit down." Guo Boxan motioned for Yamashita Ryosuke to sit down. "My grandson went to Japan last time and bought some Gyokuro, but he never drank it. Today, a Japanese friend came and invited you to taste it together."
Gyokuro is the most advanced tea in Japanese tea. It is said that even one out of a hundred tea trees may not be able to produce it. This shows that this kind of tea has high requirements on tea trees. It is said that in order to harvest the jade dew, tea farmers will put up straw twenty days before the best tea trees germinate, carefully protecting the tops of the tea trees and blocking sunlight so that the tea trees can grow soft new buds. When the tea tree sprouts, pluck the young buds, kill them with high-temperature steam, cool them quickly and then knead them into long and slender tea leaves, which will become the best jade dew.
Gyokuro has less astringency, but is sweet and soft. The tea soup is clear and has an unearthly aura. Yamashita Ryosuke sat down, and Guo Boxan personally helped him make a cup out of the master's manner. The tea entered his throat, and the Japanese Ryosuke Yamashita closed his eyes and was intoxicated for a moment, and then he couldn't help but praise it.
"This jade dew is rare in the world. It is sweet and mellow in the mouth, and the light fragrance flows in the mouth. I am really lucky to taste it here with Mr. Guo."
"Good tea depends on who drinks it. It's useless for people who don't understand the tea ceremony, and the same goes for business." Guo Boshan took a sip and put down the teacup, and said a pun lightly.
"That is, Mr. Guo must have already known the purpose of my visit this time. Not only do I want to ask Mr. Guo for help, but I can also solve the Guo family's difficulties."
"Oh, what's wrong with my Guo family?" Guo Boshan smiled.
"I remember there is a saying in the Chinese language, Ming people do not speak secret words, Mr. Guo is a sensible person. The Guo family's current situation is far worse than before. It will take at least several decades to recover by ordinary means, and it is still without enemies. In the case of opponents. Does Mr. Guo think that the Ouyang family will let the Guo family off so easily?" Yamashita Ryosuke smiled and continued: "Now the Abe family, Heyuan Group, MS Group, and Sarawak Group are working together to deal with the new family at the same time. Tianqi, but behind Xin Tianqi there are the sincerity, Qu Hanyuan, Ouyang family, Tao family, and some Chinese domestic financial forces. With their full support, it is still difficult for us to win this battle. So we also need A strong helping hand like Mr. Guo.¡±
Guo Boshan knows Xintianqi. Knowing Qu Wen and Ouyang Qingli, their combined power cannot be underestimated. If they attack Xin Tianqi as usual, money will become the key.
But Guo Boshan doesn¡¯t think that Yamashita Ryosuke will follow the normal rules and the high-profile acquisition of Xintianqi shares is actually a foreshadowing for later operations. Or playing cover.
"I am a businessman, and I only make allies with people I know well. If Mr. Yamashita does not reveal his trump card to me, I will not be able to make a choice." Guo Boshan is indeed an old fox in the business world. He does not say an answer but a choice. In other words, here In this matter, I can choose to support you. You can also turn to the enemy, the purpose is to see who is most beneficial to you.
"Does Mr. Guo know about the DuPont family?" Yamashita Ryosuke said calmly.
"The Dupont family!" Guo Boxhan's eyes slowly closed into a thin line.
"Yes, the DuPont family, the only DuPont family in the world today, with them as backup, what is your winning rate for us?"
"Yamashita Ryosuke's words moved Guo Boshan. The DuPont family's asset strength is well known to the world. It is one of the five largest conglomerate families in the world, and its assets are unimaginable if they are involved. Then Xintianqi is really dangerous.
Guo Boshan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said calmly: "I think I can think about it."
******************************************
The guesses of Qu Wen and others are correct. There are other giants behind the Abe Group. What they didn't expect was that when the market opened on Monday, it wasn't Xintianqi who was attacked. The face is Jingcheng Yuantong, a subsidiary of Jingcheng Industry listed in the United States.
In just half an hour since the market opened, Jingcheng Yuantong¡¯s stock price has dropped from US$42 to US$27 per share, and its stock value has shrunk by nearly half.
Ten minutes later, a large amount of funds poured in to rescue the market, and in a very short period of time, the stock price of Jingcheng Yuantong was brought back to 39 yuan. However, when the rescue funds wanted to further increase the price, they began to encounter strong attacks from snipers.
The stock price changed from thirty-nine to twenty-four, from twenty-four to thirty-eight, and back to thirty-eight in the blink of an eye. Both sides attacked and defended, suppressed and lifted, causing the stock market to crack and shake like a roller coaster. With.
Because of this intense offensive and defensive battle, it gradually attracted the attention of other giants on Wall Street and international investors. When they finally came to their senses, they all showed greedy eyes and manipulated large sums of money to get involved.
Seeing the opportunity, some little foxes and retail investors in the stock market also joined the sincere and tactful stock war.After a morning of guarding, Jingcheng Yuantong finally failed due to lack of funds.
When Zhang Qinghan looked at the big screen, at the same time, the stocks of Xintianqi and Quhanyuan were also attacked. Only Jingcheng Enterprise, which was listed in China, was temporarily safe.
Zhang Qinghan has to keep the three stocks of Jingcheng Yuantong, Xintianqi, and Quhanyuan at the same time, and deal with unexpected news at any time. The person in his thirties suddenly aged ten years, with layers of wrinkles on his forehead.
"Dr. Zhang"
Zhang Qinghan¡¯s secretary brought the latest information to Zhang Qinghan, hesitating for a long time but not daring to say it.
"Tell me, what else can hit me now." Zhang Qinghan smiled lightly. Although Jingcheng Yuantong's stock price collapsed, Jingcheng Yuantong is still in his hands. Xintianqi is different, with one-third of the shares In the hands of the Japanese Ryosuke Yamashita, if he moves too much, he will take the opportunity to suck it all out, and the new Tenki will soon become a new Tenki.
News came from Africa that because our new energy development project there affected the local ecological environment, the South African government asked us to suspend the new energy project and require rectification of the surrounding environment before starting work.
This is just an excuse. Why didn¡¯t you tell me there was a problem a hundred and eight years ago, but at this juncture? Rectification is a small matter, but suspension of work is a big deal. You must know that during the suspension of work, other capital expenses will be paid as usual, and you will spend your own money every day. Moreover, once the news about the African project spreads, it will have an impact on Xintianqi and Jingcheng Industry at the same time, causing the stock prices of both companies to decline.
Sure enough, when the stock market opened in the afternoon, the destructive power of bad news on stock prices became apparent, and the prices of the two stocks were affected to varying degrees. But before anyone could sigh, new news came in. Qu Hanyuan actually colluded with international gangs to use antiques and collectibles to launder money.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Zhang Qinghan looked at the stock market and listened to the news he kept receiving. He smiled lightly: "There will always be many obstacles in life!"
