Volume 1 Chapter 0048: Leverage
Nan Yi did not take Nan Ruoyin directly to Bao'an, he bought his ticket to Shanghai.
Fang Mengyin told him that the man who was proficient in antiques lived in an old Western-style house on Wukang Road in Shanghai.
Unfortunately, he came back empty-handed as there was no one at home.
While no one was paying attention, he climbed into the yard and looked into the house through the window. Looking at the dust accumulated inside, it was clear that no one had lived in the house for a long time.
It seems that this antique expert named Ke Jianzhen has not yet solved his problems and is still staying in the countryside.
He took Nan Ruoyin to Chenghuang Temple to eat crab roe buns, and then took her to the Bund for a walk. After looking at Fudong, which was still a mudflat, Nan Yi and her friend boarded the train heading south.
After spending a day in Shanghai, Nan Yi returned to Wenchangwei. After dropping Nan Ruoyin off, he hurried to Zhongying Street.
The meeting time he and Fang Mengyin had agreed to meet was approaching, so he had to hurry.
"This is the result of the investigation. Pay special attention to page 5."
As soon as Nan Yi and Fang Mengyin met, Fang Mengyin handed Nan Ruo a folder.
Nan Yi took it and opened it, "Nian Lufu, this man's parents are really brave. They dared to give their son the name of their ancestor."
"Do you know where it came from?"
"I know. The ancestor of the Nian surname was Duke Li of Qi, Jiang Lufu, a descendant of Jiang Ziya. He committed adultery with his sister and was killed. Duke Huan of Qi thought that it was a bad omen that Duke Li of Qi was killed after only one month on the throne.
In order to ward off evil spirits, the character "Nian" from the name of his grandfather, Jiang Yizhong, a wise minister of the previous dynasty, was used as the surname of his descendants, and they were called the Nian family.
"My dear grandson, do you still have time to read some books?"
"I flip it over once in a while."
Nan Yi responded while continuing to stare at the investigation report line by line, reading it very carefully.
After finishing reading the document, he asked Fang Mengyin again.
"Have you had a lawyer evaluate it?"
"We have assessed the content on page 5. If the prosecutor continues to punish him, Nian Lufu will have to go to Stanley for at least five years."
"Okay, then this Nian Lufu can be used temporarily. Grandma, have the stocks been mortgaged again?"
"It has been mortgaged. As you said, I have loaned 20 million Hong Kong dollars for one year. My dear grandson, are you sure? If you can't pay the money back when it's due, the shares will belong to the bank."
"Don't worry, haven't you read the newspaper recently? Jardine Matheson has already started a fight with the Bao family, and the battle for the acquisition of Wharf Holdings will start soon. When it starts, the Bao family will definitely find you. When the time comes, just stick to it and sell it to the Bao family at 105 yuan per share."
"I have seen that, but I am still worried because I haven't received the money yet."
"It's okay. Even if the acquisition war doesn't start, Wharf Holdings holds a large piece of land, so its stock price won't fall. At that time, the worst that can happen is that we will make less money and cash out."
"Since you have confidence, that's good. I'll leave first. Nian Lufu will be here in half an hour." Fang Mengyin said after looking at her watch.
"Wait, is Ruoyin's procedure almost done?" Nan Yi stopped Fang Mengyin and asked.
"It's almost done. It won't take long."
"Okay, bye grandma."
Nan Yi hid in the shade of a tree and smoked for a while. Then a young man in a suit, not too tall, thin, with a shrewd face, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looked to be in his thirties, walked towards Nan Yi.
"Nansheng?"
"Yes, Niansheng, hello."
"Hello."
Nian Lufu grabbed Nan Yi's hand and shook it hard.
Nan Yi had a stern face, and proudly took out a giant panda from his pocket, and gave one to Nian Lufu, "Giant Panda, not everyone can get one."
Nian Lupu took the cigarette with great trepidation, took a look at it, and saw that the filter was longer than the cigarette. He had also heard of the reputation of Panda cigarettes and knew that this was the so-called special supply. He did not dare to underestimate Nan Yi anymore.
"Does the Huang family's Baoguang Group know?"
"Know."
"It has a listed company called Mei-Han Enterprises. What's its current share price?"
Nian Lufu thought for a moment and replied, "Yesterday's closing price was 1.32 Hong Kong dollars. It fell 5 cents after opening today and is now about 1.27 Hong Kong dollars. This stock is dead and has been stuck in this price range for two years. The trading volume is very small."
"How many shares does it have in total?"
"150 million shares."
“How many shares per lot?”
"500 shares a lot."
"I'll give you 20 million, and I want 29,000 lots. Is that a problem?"
"Including commission?"
"Not included."
“It’s very difficult.”
"1000000."
"a bit difficult."
"Two million is my bottom line."
“So Easy!”
"I like to speak my mind upfront before I do anything. Niansheng, if this deal can be completed smoothly, we can cooperate frequently in the future. But if you want to do something fishy, I can forgive you. The soldiers under my father have very hot tempers."
"Nansheng, don't worry." Nian Lufu patted his chest and said, "I have been a stock broker for so many years, and my reputation is very good."
"Okay, I don't want to hold up a sign, understand?"
"That's easy. I just need to open more stock accounts and spread out the shares."
"Someone will send the money to you. I'll wait for your good news."
After the matter was settled, Nan Yi left Zhongying Street.
"I have to get a pass as soon as possible. If I have something to do in the future, I will go directly to Xiangkeng. I have appeared on Zhongying Street too many times. I might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives."
On the way back, Nan Yi was silently calculating in his mind.
Mei Han Enterprise is just an inconspicuous listed company in Hong Kong stocks, with mediocre performance and stock price. In fact, it has little investment value.
But the reason why Nan Yi wanted to buy the company's stock was because for some people, this company was a perfect shell that could be used for listing.
Moreover, Nan Yi knew very well that someone had already set his sights on this shell. And this person would create a "myth" of Hong Kong stocks, a myth of a company's market value rising rapidly.
"Chen Songqing, I will become rich by following you, haha."
Nan Yi returned to Nan's house with relaxed steps, and unexpectedly saw Nan Ruoyin trying her best to move the large bluestone slab that Nan Yi had placed on the well.
"Ruoyin, what are you doing?"
"Dad, there was a noise in the well just now. I want to see what's in there."
"There's nothing to see. There are two turtles in the well. They are Feng Shui turtles. Don't disturb them."
"What is a Feng Shui turtle?"
"The answer is waiting for you to find it yourself. There is a book called "The Book of Houses" on the bookshelf in Dad's study. You will understand it after reading it."
"Oh, in classical Chinese?"
"yes."
"Classical Chinese is too tiring to read, is there no vernacular Chinese?"
"For this kind of book, you can only read the classical Chinese version. The vernacular version is translated by later generations, and it is definitely mixed with the translator's own understanding, but his understanding may not be correct."
"Oh, I'll see tomorrow."
"Why, do you have anything else to do today?"
"Yes, Dad, the fish and turtles in the pond said they haven't played with me for a long time, so they asked me to play with them."
"Hehe, they are your good friends?"
"Yes."
"Well, then we won't eat them anymore, good friends. How can we eat them?"
"Well……"
Nan Ruoyin didn't expect that Nan Yi would trap her like this. Although fish and turtle look cute, they taste better.
"Dad, shall we go fishing?"
"Haha, clever boy, it's still too hot now. I'll take you there when it gets cooler. Let's go cast a net in the river, and then go to the ridges to fish for yellow eels."
"Great!"
