Chapter 721 Taking Advantage of the Fire
Everything was connected together, and Song Yuanchao couldn't help but sigh that there is no false reputation.
In his previous life, although Song Yuanchao knew Liu Cixin, in the eyes of ordinary people, his gossips attracted more attention, while his business abilities were ignored.
But facts told Song Yuanchao that there was a reason why Liu could become a famous tycoon in Hong Kong. He was not just a playboy who was lustful and played with women. His business methods and vision were beyond the reach of ordinary people. Without mentioning anything else, just talk about this operation, which was truly a classic.
This guy had planned it all out long ago and had taken everything into account, and cooperating with Shenghua was also part of his plan.
But if you think about it carefully, the cooperation plan with Shenghua might be a spur-of-the-moment idea of Liu. After all, Liu had no business dealings with Shenghua before, and the first meeting at the charity cocktail party was just a coincidence.
From this point of view, the cooperation between the two parties should be an accident, but even if Liu did not cooperate with Shenghua, according to Liu's calculations, there would definitely be other companies that would be used by him. But now that Shenghua is a better choice, Liu will naturally not let it go.
Song Yuanchao knew exactly what Liu was going to do next. After figuring it out, Song Yuanchao sighed that Liu was indeed worthy of his reputation. Although he felt a little uncomfortable being used, he was not angry. In business, it was normal for Liu to do this. The business world is a battlefield, and sometimes it is either you or me. If Liu could not take back the company in this way, then the enterprise he founded and poured so much effort into would be completely lost.
Besides, although Liu Da took advantage of Shenghua, it was normal for him to hide this matter from Song Yuanchao. Moreover, from the final result, as long as Liu Da successfully took back the company, the cooperation between the two parties would not be destroyed, and it would not have any impact on Shenghua.
"Mr. Song, Boss Liu has gone too far. Do you want to teach him a lesson?" Xu Hui at the side couldn't help but ask.
Song Yuanchao understood what Xu Hui meant. Liu was now doing his best to suppress the company's stock price. From the current perspective, the battle was coming to an end.
Now that the board of directors of the other company has given up resistance, I'm afraid it won't be long before they can no longer bear the pressure and surrender to Liu.
At this time, if Song Yuanchao took action, the result would inevitably change. You must know that Shenghua's financial situation is very good. Shenghua has a large amount of cash flow. If this money is invested in the stock market, the company's stock price will inevitably fluctuate violently.
By then, even if Liu Da could succeed, the result would be serious injuries. In this way, Song Yuanchao could easily teach him a severe lesson, make him understand the importance of himself and Shenghua, and make him pay the price for his previous calculations.
Even if this is not the case, Song Yuanchao can also take advantage of the current low price to buy the company's shares. In this way, Liu will have to spend more money to achieve his goal. Moreover, after taking back the company, Shenghua can also become a shareholder of this company through this operation.
In addition, even if you don't become a shareholder, it's easy to make a quick buck in the stock market by taking advantage of this opportunity. Xu Hui is thinking this way. In her opinion, Shenghua is not a soft persimmon that can be easily squeezed by anyone. How can it be so easy to plot against Shenghua? If you can do it on the first day, I can do it on the fifteenth day. Everyone depends on their own ability.
Song Yuanchao glanced at Xu Hui, lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That would make us enemies. In the business world, harmony brings wealth. It's better not to make enemies if you can avoid it."
"We can't let him off easily!" Xu Hui said indignantly, because how much trouble did Liu's operation bring to Shenghua? The investment of manpower and material resources in these days alone was not small, and it was true that harmony made money in the business world, but it couldn't be underestimated.
As the saying goes, once there is a first, there will be a second. Shenghua will have to cooperate with Liu in the future. If this guy creates some trouble again during the cooperation, it will not be a good thing for Shenghua.
"You're right, of course we can't let him get away with it so easily!" Song Yuanchao nodded, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This guy is already on the verge of success, and he will make a lot of money when the time comes. There is a saying in the underworld that whoever sees it gets a share, have you heard of it, Sister Hui?"
"I understand, Mr. Song. This is a good idea." Xu Hui laughed after thinking it over.
Song Yuanchao laughed, stood up, picked up the phone and dialed Da Liu's number.
The phone rang a few times before being picked up. Song Yuanchao said directly to the other end of the phone: "Boss Liu? This is Song Yuanchao."
"Oh, it's you, Mr. Song. I was a little scared when I answered the phone, wondering if my whereabouts had been leaked? The paparazzi in Hong Kong have such a sharp nose that they actually found me, hahaha!" Liu Liu's laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"What do you mean, Boss Liu? Do you suspect that I have disclosed your whereabouts?" Song Yuanchao said half-jokingly and half-sarcastically.
"No, no, how is that possible? We are partners. I absolutely trust Mr. Song. Even if I suspect my mother, I would never suspect Mr. Song. Haha, hahaha!"
Liu was laughing on the phone, while also wondering why Song Yuanchao suddenly called him.
They had already met yesterday, and they had discussed everything that needed to be discussed, and he had also made a promise to Song Yuanchao. But it had only been a short time since then, and Song Yuanchao called him. Could it be that something had happened to Song Yuanchao?
Song Yuanchao guessed correctly that the cooperation between Liu Da and Sheng Hua was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision and an accident.
But he was very proud of this move, because Shenghua was much better than his original choice in terms of scale and business potential.
Liu had made a detailed understanding of Shenghua, especially Shenghua's domestic business, which shocked him. He never expected that Shenghua was much stronger than he had originally imagined. The headquarters in Hong Kong was just the tip of the iceberg, and the enterprises and markets in the mainland were the real focus of Shenghua.
Compared with the scale of his own company, Shenghua is not inferior at all and is even better. In addition, the series of operations currently being carried out by Shenghua Telecom in the mainland have made Liu even more amazed.
Liu could certainly see the advantages of Shenghua's operation. How much profit would be made in a market that was almost monopolized? Liu knew it very well. Unfortunately, Liu did not have Shenghua's channels and connections in the mainland. He could not do such a thing at all and could only watch with envy.
Liu had already thought about it. Once he successfully took back the company and cleaned out all the small and medium-sized companies, the control of the company would be completely his.
By then, the cooperation between me and Shenghua will also begin. This news will be released at an appropriate time, giving a certain positive stimulus to the stock market. Coupled with a series of operations by myself, it will be easy to raise the stock price back to the original price.
In this way, you can have the best of both worlds. Why not do it?
Although he was somewhat puzzled by Song Yuanchao's sudden call, Liu remained calm. He chatted with Song Yuanchao about all sorts of meaningless things on the phone, but never took the initiative to ask any questions.
After chatting with Liu for a while, Song Yuanchao suddenly asked Liu with a smile whether he had any research on stock operations. When Liu heard Song Yuanchao mention the term "stock", his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
"Why? Mr. Song is interested in stocks?"
"Haha, just asking, hahaha."
"Mr. Song, you have come to the wrong person for advice. I am just an ordinary businessman. How can I know anything about stocks? But I can introduce Mr. Song to some professionals."
"Oh, thank you, Boss Liu." Song Yuanchao said with a smile, "I really don't know much about stocks. I just heard that the Hong Kong stock market is quite profitable. I wonder if it's true?"
Liu was confused. Did Song Yuanchao call him just to ask him about this? No other purpose? That's not right! Shenghua is not a small company. Song Yuanchao is the real boss of Shenghua. Does he need to ask him to understand these things? Why not just ask a few people?
I thought so in my heart, but laughed it off: "I'm not sure about this either, but Mr. Song, as a friend, I want to remind you that it is true that stocks can make money, but stocks can also lose money. The stock market is just like a casino. Once you place a bet, no one knows whether the result will be a big or a small one."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I'm a layman and only have a vague understanding of it. Fortunately, I asked Boss Liu for advice, otherwise I would have been fooled."
"Look at what you said. We are all good friends, and this is common sense. It's not a matter of reminding me or not. There's no need to thank me." Da Liu continued to laugh, his mind working quickly to figure out what Song Yuanchao was up to.
"By the way, Boss Liu, have you heard about something?" Song Yuanchao suddenly asked on the phone, and before Liu Da answered, he said, "Look at my memory. Boss Liu has not been in Hong Kong these days. Of course, I don't know. But Boss Liu, I would like to remind you that although you left the original company, you are still a shareholder of the company, right? I heard today that your company's stock has fallen badly these days. With such a sharp drop, have the shares you hold depreciated? I don't understand stocks. I am just a layman and I am not sure if it is true, but as a friend, you should always show some concern, right?"
There was a sudden buzzing in Da Liu's head, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
If he hadn't understood what Song Yuanchao said, he wouldn't be where he is today. He didn't expect Song Yuanchao to see through his cards so quickly and even call him.
"Really? Is there such a thing? I didn't know!" Da Liu continued to play dumb. Although his face changed drastically, his words still maintained the previous doubt and calmness.
Song Yuanchao sighed on the phone, blaming Liu for not caring about his company's situation. Although he had left the company, he founded it after all, and he was still a shareholder. The stock price had fallen so much, but he was indifferent. He was really worried about him.
Song Yuanchao comforted Liu for a few words, and kindly asked Liu if he needed help. As a friend, Shenghua had no choice but to help. As long as Liu asked, Song Yuanchao would definitely help. Even if he couldn't do anything else, he could help Liu buy back some shares and increase the stock price.
Liu's face was extremely ugly. He had never expected this. He had been preparing for this plan for a long time, and had already privately found several alliances to work together. This was also the main reason for the smooth progress in the stock market.
Shenghua is just a chess piece, a chess piece that will only come into play after he takes the company back.
He knew Shenghua, which was engaged in industry and had never been involved in finance.
Moreover, Shenghua’s chairman Qin Zhengguo has been abroad these days. It is said that he is busy with overseas company matters and it is impossible for him to return to Hong Kong for the time being.
The actual boss of Shenghua is Song Yuanchao, but Song Yuanchao is also not in Hong Kong. He has his own business in the mainland and rarely goes to Hong Kong throughout the year.
They were not there, and the person in charge was the president Xu Hui, a woman whom Liu had dealt with before. She was a very smart and capable woman. But according to Liu, Xu Hui had almost no contact with finance and the stock market, and her work was very busy, so she had no energy to take care of these things.
So Liu had taken all these into consideration in his plan, and he had calculated the time period he chose to do this . But he never expected that when the dawn was just around the corner, all his calculations would be seen through by Song Yuanchao.
