Chapter 1973: Chapter 1973 was a complete set-up (second update)
Gu Nianzhi was extremely surprised and quickly asked, “Dad, how do you know the amount of compensation the other company is asking for?”
“I’ve been tracking this matter.”Lu Jin smiled happily. “It’s like eating salted fish that makes you thirsty. If they dare to cheat, they’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Lu Yuan shook his head as well. “The Hong Corporation has dug a hole for themselves. They still want to go public in such a situation… do they really think those big shots in the stock market are fools?”
“To barge into the overseas stock market so rashly is to treat yourself like a fat pig that can be butchered by others.”
Gu Nianzhi was speechless for a long time before she said,”… that’s true. With such a big loophole here, it’s like a time bomb that will explode sooner or later.”
Lu Jin had accidentally discovered it, but he had brought the process forward.
Only God knew if it would be a blessing or a curse for the Hong Corporation.
“It’s a pity I don’t have the money. If the Hong Group was a listed company, I would have gone to the stock market to do it right now.”Lu Jin was very regretful.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it carefully for a moment and felt that it had nothing to do with her. She shrugged nonchalantly. “Then let’s continue to watch. Dad, what trick are you going to do tomorrow? Can you spoiler me in advance?”
“No.”Lu Jin refused flatly and winked at her. “Because it depends on how other people perform.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”.
The next morning, the core members of the Hong family were still gathered at the Hong family mansion to have breakfast with old Mrs. Hong.
Today was the last day of the settlement. They had to make a decision on whether or not to accept the amount of compensation offered by the other party.
The breakfast was completely silent, and everyone’s mood was very heavy.
After breakfast, they went to the court venue that they had agreed to with the other party’s company for the last out-of-court settlement negotiation.
The other party’s company had been defeated by the Hong Group over the past year, and they had long hated them to death.
Now that they found out that the Hong Group was actually taking advantage of them, using the patent they had bought at a high price to build their own car, they were definitely going to beat them to death.
The Hong Corporation knew that they were in the wrong, so they chose to settle out of court.
An old man sitting next to Old Madam Hong said with a sigh, “In the past, I thought that a problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.”
“Now I know that it’s just that the other party doesn’t want much money…”
Old Madam Hong did not say anything. She was only thinking of a solution in her heart.
She had been in business for so many years, what waves had she not seen?
However, this was indeed the first time she had seen such a scale.
As time passed, more and more people came in. Other than the reporters, there were also many onlookers.
Although the court had limited the number of people, in the end, the entire room was still filled with people.
However, the executives and major shareholders of the company that had “Raft”had not arrived yet.
When Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin left the house in the morning, they were pulled by Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan to alter their faces and appearances.
At that moment, they could sit comfortably in the gallery and look at the core members of the Hong family with interest.
The old lady in the middle, who had a head full of silver hair but a resolute expression, and had a straight back, caught her attention.
“… Dad, is that Old Madam Hong?”
Lu Jin nodded. “The old lady is in good health and in good spirits. It’s just that she’s old and hasn’t chosen a successor.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect the old lady to be so soft-hearted. She actually let Guo Huining go.”
Lu Jin smiled and caressed Gu Nianzhi’s head. “Don’t worry, let’s continue watching.”
It didn’t take long before the court doors opened again. Guo Huining was dressed in a professional black dress and carried a Louis Vuitton briefcase. She walked over to the Hong family with a smile on her face.
“Good morning, everyone. I’m Guo Huining. Everyone knows me, so I won’t introduce myself.”
Seeing her, Hong Ziqi’s mother was furious. She stood up and pointed at her, “Guo Huining! You still have the face to come in? ! We haven’t settled the score with you yet!”
“It’s all because of you! You dragged us into such a situation!”
“How can you blame me?”Guo huining brushed the hair she had just spent a lot of money on behind her ears, “If you want to blame someone, blame the person who wrote the letter. If he didn’t expose this, how would the other company know?”
“If it wasn’t for him, your Hong Group would be listed on the stock market right now. You’d all be at home counting your money.”
Gu Nianzhi had been paying attention to the movements of the members of the Hong family. When she saw Guo Huining walk over and hear her giggling to the members of the Hong family and blaming the person who wrote the letter, Gu Nianzhi was furious.
She sat not far away from the members of the Hong family, so she said loudly, “Tsk, how interesting. You’re a thief, but instead of reflecting on yourself, you blame the person who reported you. If no one reported you, would you be able to continue being a thief with Peace of mind? !”
Lu Jin had written a letter to report Gu Nianzhi in order to save her face.
After that, the other company had found a loophole and pursued her relentlessly. What did that have to do with them?
The person Gu Nianzhi did not want to forgive was Guo Huining, and had nothing to do with the Hong Corporation.
However, if the people from the Hong family did not reflect on themselves and did not look for the real culprit, but instead blamed the people who reported them, it could only be said that they had brought this upon themselves.
Gu Nianzhi’s last trace of sympathy vanished into thin air.
Her words were extremely sharp and sharp.
There were indeed people in the Hong family who had complained about the person who had written an open letter to report them, but when Gu Nianzhi said this, their faces turned red and all their anger was directed at Guo Huining.
If she hadn’t faked it, they wouldn’t have been reported!
Guo Huining’s face darkened slightly. She looked towards the source of the sound and saw that it was an ordinary-looking woman, so she didn’t mind.
Gossipers were everywhere, so there was no need to pay attention to these small fry.
Therefore, Guo Huining only glared at her and looked at the materials in her hands. She didn’t want to cause any more trouble.
She lowered her head and opened her briefcase. She placed a document in front of old Madam Hong and said with a smile, “Old Madam, I respect you as the founder of the Hong Group. This is a share purchase agreement. Please take a look.”
“As long as you sign here, you don’t have to worry about the amount of settlement and the deadline.”
She said confidently. The Hong family members’faces were gloomy, as if they had lost their parents.
Guo Huining looked at the faces of these people, and the joy of ‘Revenge’rose in her heart.
Old Madam Hong lowered her eyes and looked at the first party in the share purchase agreement, the Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund. She immediately felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse.
She understood that this was a trap!
A complete and utter trap!
She raised her head and looked at the place where the other party’s company “Raft”was located. It was still empty and there wasn’t a single person there.
Old Madam Hong was intensely pondering in her mind. Did this matter have anything to do with that company “Raft”?
Or… did it have something to do with the company that took on the listing business for them?
Guo Huining waited patiently and was not in a hurry. She was thinking about what Dou Aiyan had said to her last night.
Last night, in a luxuriously decorated office in the Huaxia Branch headquarters of Carlyle International Investment Co. , Ltd. , Dou Aiyan sat behind her desk with a cup of coffee in her hand, she smiled and said,”… still no news from the Hong Group?”
Guo huining shook her head uncomfortably. “No.”
“Well, it’s a pity. We originally planned to wait for the Hong Group to be listed overseas before the battery problem was exposed. That way, we can make another profit by shorting them, then conveniently acquire the Hong Group and resell them at a high price.”
“It’s just that being exposed in advance, the gains are limited!”Dou aiyan smiled regretfully.
Guo Huining suddenly raised her head and looked at Dou Aiyan in surprise. As if she didn’t know her, her mouth was wide open.
After a while, she said,”… This wasn’t your idea. It was Yi Xinyan’s idea, wasn’t it?”
“Haha! Who Do you care whose idea it was? ! It’s none of your business!”
Dou aiyan winked at her. She didn’t admit it, but she didn’t deny it either.
Guo Huining lowered her eyes and thought of the smart and beautiful chief stock analyst who always spoke slowly. She sighed softly in her heart.
She was indeed inferior to him..
He was so ruthless and swift. No wonder he was able to do whatever he wanted in the capital market at such a young age.
Dou aiyan said with a smile, “Huining, it’s like this. The Hong Group is almost like a rat crossing the street. Not only did their sales plummet, but the other company also demanded a huge amount of compensation.”
“They are either waiting to be liquidated or taken over by the court. They are in a very bad situation.”
Guo Huining thought of old madam Hong’s ruthlessness toward her, and a sense of joy rose in her heart. She said calmly, “What does it have to do with me? I have nothing to do with the Hong family anymore.”
“Good! You are really a role model for our generation!”Dou aiyan praised. “Then, are you willing to be our legal representative and go to the court tomorrow to discuss the acquisition of the Hong Group?”
“Acquisition? !”Guo huining turned pale with fright. “You want to acquire the Hong Group? !”
“Haha, What’s The Rush? The Hong Group isn’t yours… You’ve already been kicked out by them.”Dou aiyan tossed out a contract, “Here, take a look. If you’re Willing, tomorrow you’ll be the chief legal advisor of our Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund. Take this contract and throw it in front of Old Lady Hong, and you’ll Have Your Revenge!”
Guo huining smiled as her gaze fell on the contract that would allow her to “Get your revenge.”.
Old Mrs. Hong’s face was ashen. She stood up on her walking stick and yelled at the smug Guo huining through gritted teeth,”… you want to buy our company? Dream On!”
Old Mrs. Hong’s voice was neither loud nor soft. Those sitting in the distance might not be able to hear her, but Gu Nianzhi could hear her clearly from her seat.
Lu Jin had originally wanted to make Gu Nianzhi happy, so he had found a seat close to the members of the Hong family.
Now that he saw Guo Huining walk in, he laughed so hard that he couldn’t see his own eyes. He said to Gu Nianzhi in a low voice,”… look, the show has begun.”
“Guess which company wants to buy the Hong Group?”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Guo Huining and then saw Dou aiyan walk in after her. Her mind raced as she suddenly realized, “This is a trap! It’s a complete trap!”
This was the second watch of the day: chapter 1973, “A complete trap.”.
It was the second watch of the day.
