Three hundred and ninetieth chapters in front of the building
(Old brother Fei Kun’s birthday is on the 19th, I wish him a happy birthday...)
Without making an appointment with Ding Zhaoqiang in advance, Lu Jianchao grabbed Lu Yan and Guo Jian rushed directly to Dongsheng Building.
On Wednesday afternoon, the weather was fine. Two cars were scratching on the Central Elevated Road. Lu Jianchao and the others were stuck in traffic for half an hour. They felt irritable but helpless, which seemed to indicate the current situation of the Lu family and Taihua.
It was almost four o'clock before they arrived at the downstairs of Dongsheng Building. After getting off the bus, Lu Jianchao saw an acquaintance walking in front of them towards the Dongsheng Building.
"Mr. Cheng, why are you free to come to Dongsheng Building today? It was Mr. Ding who invited you here?" Lu Jianchao got off the car and walked over quickly, saying hello, "Dongsheng built a beautiful floor today.
Anyone who wants to get the news early can make a profit of twenty points by just buying some! Does Mr. Cheng have any inside information that he can tell us?"
"I've been recuperating from gout in the hospital for the past few days. I can't even drink. I can only eat millet porridge every day. It seems to make me lose weight. I just received a call from Lao Ding, notifying me to come over for a board meeting. I have been here for a few days.
I didn’t even pay attention to Dongsheng’s stock in the hospital, why, how come it’s so bad today?” Cheng Xiang asked rhetorically.
Cheng Xiang is a director shareholder of Dongsheng Group and Dongsheng Real Estate, and his shareholding is second only to Shang Wendong.
He and Shang Wendong also founded Dongsheng together with Ding Xuesheng. They were younger than Ding Xuesheng. However, when Ding Zhaoqiang came to power, they were both over fifty, so they quit Dongsheng's management together and became directors and shareholders behind the scenes.
Cheng Xiang is not as ambitious or career-minded as Shang Wendong. He has not mortgaged his shares in listed companies to raise funds for other investments. However, he enjoys a life of traveling around after semi-retirement. Some of his other investments include buying real estate.
, jade, but it is also within one’s ability.
Therefore, no matter how critical the current situation is, he is only watching the book assets shrink, but there is no imminent debt crisis.
Of course, when Han Shaorong wanted to win over him, he refused to cooperate. However, considering that Ding Zhaoqiang might succumb and Han Shaorong might take over Dongsheng, he, like Guo Guangxin and Xu Zhi, did not inform Ding Zhaoqiang and chose to stay out of the matter.
.
Cheng Xiang really didn't know what happened today. When he saw Lu Jianchao running to Dongsheng Building, he thought he knew something.
"Perhaps Ding Zhaoqiang finally decided to cooperate with Huamao? Dongsheng's style is very similar to Han Shaorong's style!" Lu Jianchao guessed with emotion when he saw that Cheng Xiang didn't look like he was cheating. He might really not know anything about the situation.
He thought that since Ding Zhaoqiang could negotiate terms with Han Shaorong, Taihua would definitely be able to do the same, just giving up more benefits to satisfy Han Shaorong.
Thinking of this, Lu Jianchao's mind changed.
Cheng Xiang also speculated that Ding Zhaoqiang might give in to Han Shaorong and reach cooperation. He also had an indifferent attitude towards this and only hoped that Dongsheng could get out of the current predicament as soon as possible.
Standing in front of Dongsheng Building and chatting with Lu Jianchao for a while, Cheng Xiang saw several cars driving towards this direction and Cheng Xiang said:
"Isn't that Lao Ding's car? He notified us to come over for a board meeting, but he delayed getting to the group until then, which was later than us."
Ding Zhaoqiang's silver-gray Rolls-Royce was still quite eye-catching as it drove quickly from a distance, but turning in front of Dongsheng Building, in addition to Ding Zhaoqiang's car, there was also an Audi A8 and two black cars.
A Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle and a Ferrari sports car.
The Audi A8's license plate is Qian Wenhan's car, the Mercedes-Benz business car is relatively ordinary, and the red Ferrari is Shen Ji's car.
Guo Jian's eyelids jumped, and an ominous premonition filled his heart. Then he saw these cars parked in front of the building, Cao Mo, Qian Wenhan, Shen Ji, Ding Zhaoqiang, Guo Guangxin, Xu Zhi, Xu Xin, Song Yuqing , Chen Feng and others filed out of the car, whether it was Lu Jianchao or Lu Yan, they all felt as if they had been hit hard by a hammer at this moment:
Dongsheng's reinforcements are Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan?!
How is this possible? Didn't Cao Mo and Ding Zhaoqiang fall out a long time ago?
…………

"Why does Mr. Lu look so unbelievable? Does he think that I am trying my best to attack Taihua, so why don't I reach out to cooperate with Dongsheng?" Cao Mo put his hands in his waist pockets and stood on the first floor. On the steps, he looked at Lu Jianchao with an innocent face, who almost had the word "incredible" written on his face, and asked innocently and curiously, "Does Mr. Lu still naively think that I am behind the plummeting share price of Taihua?" ?”
"If it's not you, you little brat, then who is it? You little brat, how dare you do it but dare not admit it?" Lu Yan was furious and asked.
"I thought there were not many people in Xinhai today who were qualified to point their noses at me and scold me as a little brat - Mr. Yan, you are awesome. Since you think it was me who did it, then I will take the blame. I This is not the first day that I have taken the blame for someone else. What is there to be afraid of? Am I afraid that you, Mr. Yan, will pounce on me and bite me?" Cao Mo gave Lu Yan a thumbs up, shrugged indifferently, and looked at the Fright Station. Guo Jian, who was behind Lu Yan, asked, "Manager Guo, do you think so?"
"..."
Sometimes contemptuous disregard can hurt people's hearts more than scolding or insulting. Lu Yan's forehead was filled with blue veins.
"..." Guo Jian was speechless. He especially saw Xu Xin, Song Yuqing, and Chen Feng in their prime standing together. He didn't know what was blocking his heart, so he could only ignore Cao Mo's question.
"You said that the plummeting stock price of Taihua was not your fault. What do you mean?" Lu Jianchao suddenly realized that they might have thought wrong from the beginning, or perhaps he thought that Cao Mo didn't need to lie at this moment. , regardless of how embarrassed he was, asked.
"It doesn't mean anything. It means literally. When did Mr. Lu not understand Mandarin?"
Cao Mo glanced sharply at Guo Jian and Lu Yan, and finally spread his hands towards Lu Jianchao in an understatement and asked,
"Tianyue and Sun Hung Investment have always been cooperating with Dongsheng, but they were worried that someone would jump out to undermine our cooperation with Dongsheng, so they had to spread some false news and say that the target we were targeting was Taihua. But it’s just a claim, Mr. Lu, don’t you really believe it? As the holding parent company of Taihua Group, New Taihua Investment can get the top 100 shareholder data at any time. Can’t you see the Tianyue Investment special account? How many Taihua stocks are bought and sold every day?”
"Who would believe that you use one account to buy and sell our Taihua stocks?" Lu Yan was embarrassed and shocked, and was teased by Cao Mo. Lu Yan was furious and asked sternly.
"I, Cao Mo, have always been law-abiding. Domestic laws and regulations have strict restrictions on stock price manipulation. I will not do anything that violates laws and regulations - Mr. Yan, whether you believe it or not, you can't change this fact, just like you can't change Taihua It will decline one day. It is not accurate to say that. Taihua is Taihua, and there are many people fighting for it. It should be able to survive, but it is you who are yelled at and beaten like a dog in the water. It is you who have your back broken. The Lu family," Cao Mo looked at Lu Jianchao, seeing the anger in Lu Yan and the fear in Guo Jian's eyes, and said with a smile, "However, I still advise Mr. Lu and Mr. Yan to think carefully about how many enemies he has offended over the years. , how come there are so many people who want to add insult to injury and want the Lu family to die happily!"
"What do you want to say to sow discord?" Lu Yan asked angrily.
"Am I sowing discord?" Cao Mo couldn't help but laugh, and said with his hands spread out, "Whatever you say, as long as you are happy - the board of directors of Dongsheng Group and Dongsheng Real Estate will be held at the same time, and we have to rush to attend, too
I don’t have time to play house with Master Yan any more, so let’s just go on our own!”
Lu Jianchao's face looked uncertain.
Cao Modu publicly stated that he and Qian Wenhan would attend Dongsheng's board meeting, which made it clear that they would announce their cooperation plan at the upcoming board meeting.
Even if Lu Jianchao couldn't guess how much money Dongsheng was short of, the posts posted on the financial forum today revealed it in great detail.
Not to mention the funds they have spent to support Dongsheng Group's stock price in recent days, Dongsheng Real Estate needs at least 2.5 billion to alleviate the crisis.
If Cao Mo pulls Qian Wenhan to cooperate with Dongsheng, it's hard to imagine how much money they still have to take over Taihua's offer.
The Lu family has pledged all the Taihua stocks in their hands to various financial institutions. If it falls below the liquidation line and they are unable to repay the debt or provide sufficient margin, the disposal rights of these stocks will fall into the hands of these financial institutions.
However, if any company wants to successfully take over these mortgaged stocks from financial institutions, it will need to spend at least 2 billion in real money to ensure that the principal of these financial institutions is not lost.
Otherwise, among these financial institutions that are either state-controlled or state-owned, which one would dare to transfer claims at a discount? Even if they want to discount and treat them as non-performing assets, there is another set of levels to go through.
And two billion real money is definitely not a small number.
What's more, Tianyue Investment's repurchase of equity from Dongsheng in the early stage, and Qian Wenhan's planned acquisition of Huachen assets after meeting with Zhou Qizhi yesterday, will consume a lot of funds in Tianyue's hands.
No matter how much capital Tianyue has in his hands, it cannot be unlimited.
From this point of view, Lu Jianchao is inclined to believe that Cao Mo is not lying: he does not have the ambition to swallow up Taihua, but just uses Taihua as a cover?
And if Cao Mo is not lying, the market value of Taihua stock held by Tianyue Investment was indeed only 70 to 80 million when it was at its highest, and it had been reduced to about 20 million before the plunge. However, the main force that suppressed Taihua's stock price in the past two days was
who?
And who had the timing to expose Xin Yihua's scandal and drag Taihua further into the quagmire?
Seeing that Cao Mo said nothing more and walked towards Dongsheng Building with Qian Wenhan and others without mercy, Guo Jian told Lu Jianchao with a guilty conscience. Lu Yan said, "Mr. Lu, let's go back first?"
To be honest, he was really afraid that Cao Mo would have seen through everything and expose him to Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan. Only then did he feel relieved.
When Guo Jiang just turned around to leave, Lu Jianchao suddenly raised his foot and kicked him in the back.
Guo Jian fell down the steps unexpectedly, and his face fell directly onto the stone pavement. His eyes flashed with gold, and he felt a piece of his face being rubbed off, causing burning pain.
Guo Jian turned his head and saw Lu Jianchao raising his foot and kicking him again. He hurriedly covered his face with his hands, but where did his hands cover Lu Jianchao's foot that he stomped down in anger? Suddenly his cheek was stepped on by Lu Jianchao again. He didn't dare to resist, it was so painful.
He screamed: "Mr. Lu, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong?"
"Second uncle, why did you hit Guo Jian?" Lu Yan was also startled. He didn't know why Lu Jianchao suddenly made a move towards Guo Jianfa and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm to pull him away.
"Have you, you bastard, been bribed by Han Shaorong?" Lu Jianchao threw away Lu Yan's hand, stepped on Guo Jian's neck, and stared at him fiercely, wishing to cut out his heart.
He had previously believed that Cao Mo was going to attack Taihua, so he did not suspect Guo Jian, who was sworn in with Cao Mo. But now that he knows that besides Cao Mo, there are others who are the real reason for Taihua's stock price to plummet in the past two days.
How could he not suspect Guo Jian as the culprit?
After hearing Lu Jianchao's shouting, Lu Yan also suddenly came to his senses: Yes, Guo Jian contacted Shi Mingde first and then introduced him to him, and today the scandal of insider trading exposed by Xinyihua, where Shi Mingde works, is no coincidence. Isn't that obvious enough?
?
Looking at Guo Jian's panicked eyes again, Lu Yan's anger surged, and he raised his foot and kicked Guo Jian in the face.
"What are you doing?" Xu Xin screamed, raised the phone in her hand, and shouted, "I'm going to call the police!"
Although she and Guo Jian had long since separated, they were still a couple, so they couldn't remain indifferent when they saw this scene. She yelled and rushed over to stop Lu Jianchao. Lu Yan's uncle and nephew violently assaulted Guo Jian in the street.
"Lu Jianchao, I don't care why you want to deal with Guo Jian, but please remember that China is not in chaos yet and you commit murders in the streets without anyone noticing. Do you still dare to kill Guo Jian?" Although Cao Mo hoped that Guo Jian would get what he wanted.
The lesson could have been more tragic, but if he didn't help Xu Xin speak out to stop Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan's uncle and nephew's atrocities, Ding Zhaoqiang would not be able to watch someone committing violence in front of Dongsheng Building and remain indifferent.
Of course, Cao Mo would not reveal that he had known about Guo Jian's collusion with Han Shaorong. After all, without Nsangge's tip, he should not have known that Shi Mingde was introduced to the Lu family by Guo Jian.
Cao Mo pretended to be a good guy, but the main thing was to hold Xu Xin back and prevent her from getting entangled in this mess. Soon, the security guards of the building rushed out and separated Guo Jian from Lu Jianchao, Lu Yan's uncle and nephew.
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this? Is Taihua in such a state of embarrassment? If you are going to commit violence in the street, can you walk away from Dongsheng Building first?" Ding Zhaoqiang asked Lu Jianchao sternly, and then asked Guo Jian, "What do you want?"
Don’t want to call the police?”
"There's no need to call the police. I don't even know what's going on. Mr. Lu must have misunderstood me. I deserve to be blamed for spreading resentment against me." Guo Jian stood up limping. How dare he go to the police station with Lu Jianchao?
I thought about leaving as soon as possible and never meeting Lu Jianchao or Lu Yan again.
"Huh!" Lu Jianchao calmed down a little and understood that they couldn't do anything to Guo Jian in the street. They could only leave with hatred and wait for an opportunity to deal with this vicious dog who was eating outside.
Of course, it must be said that there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor, because it was Han Shaorong who had secretly plotted against Taihua and bribed Guo Jian.
Yes, from Guo Jian's guilty reaction, Lu Jianchao was absolutely sure that it was Han Shaorong who bribed Guo Jian, and then Guo Jian introduced the problematic Shi Mingde to Lu Yan, ultimately involving Taihua in the Xinyihua insider trading scandal.
In the midst of this, another severe blow was stabbed into Taihua's body, which had already been made worse.
And their application to suspend trading was rejected today. It was obviously Han Shaorong who was sabotaging it behind the scenes.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
The anger and hatred in Lu Yan's heart were driving him crazy. If he had a knife in his hand, he would not hesitate to stab that bitch Guo Jian to the core. He never thought that it would be Guo Jian. betrayed them.
"You piece of shit, how do I usually treat you? You actually betrayed me and cooperated with that bitch Han Shaorong to dig a hole for us to jump out of?" After being held back by the security guard, Lu Yan still took two steps forward without hesitation and struck again. He kicked Guo Jian's chest, "If I don't chop this piece of shit like you into pieces and feed it to the dogs, my surname, Lu Yan, will be yours!"
…………
…………
Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan's uncle and nephew left with regrets. Guo Jian also limped into a taxi and drove away in another direction. Xu Xin glanced in the direction of the taxi with melancholy.
"Did you already know that Guo Jian was bribed by Han Shaorong?" Ding Zhaoqiang asked Cao Mo.
"How is that possible? I'm not a clever strategist!" In front of Qian Wenhan and Shen Ji, Cao Mo also lied to Ding Zhaoqiang without any psychological burden, "But Han Shaorong has evil intentions towards Taihua. It is not difficult to guess. We I've noticed this a long time ago. However, I can't be kind enough to tip off brothers Lu Jiancheng and Lu Jianchao, right?"
Although the two parties finally reached an in-depth strategic cooperation and would have a considerable number of interests tied together in the future, they could not be as indifferent to Ding Zhaoqiang and Cao Mo as they were with Shen Ji and Qian Wenhan; there were some things that he did not want to be too concerned about. Reveal the truth to Ding Zhaoqiang early.
Bribery and betrayal are always an extremely sensitive topic. The previous silence and apathy of Cheng Xiang, Guo Guangxin, Xu Zhi and others could be considered a betrayal and a betrayal.
Ding Zhaoqiang knew that he could not dwell on this issue, so he just shook his head slightly and did not say whether he believed Cao Mo's words or not.
"Shang Wendong's car, what is he doing here?"
At this time, Shen Ji saw the Mercedes-Benz 600 that Shang Wendong usually rides slowly approaching and stopped in front of Dongsheng Building. He looked at his uncle Ding Zhaoqiang with some hesitation.
No one notified Shang Wendong to come and convene the board of directors. How could he show up?
Cheng Xiang pretended to be confused and stayed out of the matter, but in the end Shang Wendong was determined to collude with Han Shaorong to plot against them. What did Shang Wendong want to do when he came here, and how were they going to treat Shang Wendong now?
"Old Ding, why didn't you notify me when the board of directors was convened? Is Dongsheng going to cooperate with Tianyue and Xinhong this time? No matter what the conditions are, as long as they are approved by you, Old Ding, I will support them with both hands." Shang Wen Dongda He walked up the steps, walked toward Ding Zhaoqiang, Cao Mo and the others, and said loudly.
Shen Ji was stunned.
He just guessed that Han Shaorong might not be willing to lose in the battle of Dongsheng and sent Shang Wendong to take the lead, but he never thought that he would collude with Han Shaorong to plot against Shang Wendong of the Ding family in the morning, and nothing happened in the afternoon. Similar?
Not only running out to join the board of directors, but also firmly supporting all the decisions of the Ding family?
"Then let's go to the meeting together!"
Cao Mo and Shang Wendong have no grudges. Whether Shang Wendong betrayed or was ungrateful, it was Ding Zhaoqiang and the Ding family who left the bloody scars in his heart. But no matter what, if they didn't want the power gathered around Han Shaorong to be stronger, they would accept it. Shang Wendong's "surrender" was the most rational choice.
At least Shang Wendong knows where his interests lie.
"Let's go, I was just about to ask Shen Ji to call you!" Ding Zhaoqiang was a little exhausted, but he still said this in a hoarse voice.
Since Shang Wendong could walk over as if nothing happened, he could only pretend that nothing happened.
Maybe, this is called tolerance; maybe, this is called mind!
