mind? Why would I mind
To be honest, the Luo family is lucky to have such a loyal and astute person like Mr. Zhou in the Luo Group. In today's society, there are really very few people who can work loyally for a company and a boss. No wonder my father can safely hand over an entire area of the Zhengzhou City Base Camp to Mr. Zhou.
"Mr. Zhou, when are you going to launch this plan?" Lorraine asked.
Mr. Zhou smiled: "I have sent people to secretly contact some retail investors who intend to sell their shares. Now we can get as much as we can. After all, this is a plan that needs to be penetrated slowly."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou distributed the tasks so quickly.
"Well, let's just say that today, if you want anything, they both stood up together, walked out of the cafe door, and left separately.
I have to say that Lorraine's plan came in time.
Recently, there has been a big change in the officialdom of Zhengzhou City, where two factions have merged into one. Vice Mayor Chi took the initiative to show his kindness to Secretary Li of the Municipal Party Committee. This frightened some officials, big and small, who had leverage in the hands of Vice Mayor Chi. Among them There are many people who hold scattered shares outside Caesars Palace and are eager to sell their shares, but they cannot do so blatantly. After all, walls have ears, and they may be treated as a typical example and punished by the superiors.
There are indeed some romantic projects running in Caesar's Palace, and the romantic merchants and officials who often go there are well aware of it. Of course, more senior figures will often visit the underground casino at Caesars Palace. It is no exaggeration to say that there are thousands of gambling games in one night, where they can play for fun and have fun. Some officials are even addicted to gambling. 』.
Because Qian Qianwan from Caesar Palace has a wide network of contacts, he has already greeted the relevant personnel. Every time during the holidays, he smokes, drinks, and even a lot of money. I don't know how many people have been silenced. But even so, some things are open secrets within a certain circle. Who knows who will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and take advantage of the change of team to stab themselves out. Therefore, the shares of Caesars Palace in the hands of some officials have become a hot potato. They dare not sell it blatantly, and no one will take the initiative to acquire it if they wait for the opportunity.
For these people, the sudden appearance of the Rock Group is like the arrival of an angel.
The results are often unexpected. On the second day after Mr. Zhou implemented this plan, he had successfully acquired nearly 10% of the equity, and the acquisition price was not as high as expected. This is a gratifying thing.
In fact, Mr. Zhou has always had a question, why don't you buy it yourself with millions of dollars? Later, after an investigation, I found out that in fact, although Qian Wanwan appeared to be wealthy, in fact, his daily business volume consisted of giving away a little from the east and managing a little from the west, paying wages, and treating him to dinner. There isn't much left. The most important thing is that he also has three little lovers outside, a college student, a nurse, and one is a middle school teacher!
This guy is really good at playing.
In addition, he has a prodigal son who spends more money than he does, and he doesn’t have much money left over. In fact, in the final analysis, although Qian Wanwan has a lot of brains, he is a boss who is relatively content with the status quo. He personally believes that his current social status is already very good, and he no longer thinks about making progress. In the Caesar Palace, With one third of an acre of land, he was happy to be his local emperor.
When he learned that 10% of the peripheral shares had been acquired by others, he did not feel a sense of crisis. Instead, he said nonchalantly: "I hold a total of 45% of the shares in my hands. It shouldn't be a big deal." . As for how much they can acquire, in my opinion, a maximum of 15% is already high. I heard that there has been a turmoil in the officialdom of Zhengzhou City recently, and those who are timid have sold off their shares. , just what I want, a small official like this can probably sell me out if something happens, and now he has nothing to do with me at Caesars Palace, which saves me a lot of trouble."
And after some investigation, when he learned that the people who acquired the peripheral shares of Caesars Palace were actually people from the Lowe Group, he could not help but frown, and a suspicion arose in his heart: Could it be that the Rock Group wants to swallow me up
Just when he was so confused, he never heard any news about the acquisition of his Caesar Palace's outstanding shares. He heard that someone was still selling them. Why was there no movement in the Rock Group? You can't just play for tickets, right
At the same time, the general manager office of Lowe Group.
"Master Luo, I'm very confused, why don't you let us continue to acquire more? As far as I know, there are still many retail investors who are eager to sell their shares. If we acquire all the remaining ones one by one, we will We can grasp more than 20%, which is still a conservative estimate." Mr. Zhou raised his eyes and said with some doubts.
Lorraine was sitting casually on the sofa at this time, playing with a very unique revolver-shaped lighter.
"Mr. Zhou, you are so smart, can't you understand this?" Lorraine said slowly, "If I am not wrong, with Qian Wanwan's energy, we have already noticed some signs of the crisis. Let's continue the acquisition. If we go down, we can only alert others."
Mr. Zhou shook his head: "I still don't understand. From the very beginning of the acquisition, weren't we already trying to scare the snake? We just kept doing nothing and worked hard to acquire the remaining scattered shares."
Lorraine waved his hand: "Do you really believe that Qian Wanwan won't fight back when he learned that our Rock Group was acquiring those shares?? If he has some capital, he can buy it at will. , we can easily break through 50% of the controlling stake, and our plan to swallow it up is simply unrealistic."
Mr. Zhou frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Mr. Zhou, don't forget that our original purpose was to establish a cooperative relationship with Qian Wanwan at Caesars Palace. Getting into a tense situation with him would only make us passive. This was not our original intention in the first place."
Mr. Zhou frowned even more tightly, and he had to admit that he could not see through Lorraine more and more now. In other words, his current thinking can no longer keep up with Lorraine.
This is of course, Lorraine's thinking model comes from twenty years later, so it is normal for him to be unable to keep up.
Seeing Mr. Zhou's silence, Lorraine continued: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I have actually thought about the next step. Now that we have acquired as many peripheral stocks as Qian Million, it is not a slap in his face, but a slap in the face." An effective way to get closer to him."
"Oh? What do you say?"
Lorraine smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell, just watch my actions."
Mr. Zhou was silent.
"By the way, Mr. Zhou, as an investment, can you withdraw some funds from the company for me to use? Of course, this is all for the smooth progress of the plan."
Seeing Lorraine's confident look, Mr. Zhou suddenly felt a little hopeful. He was looking forward to whether Lorraine could still bring surprises. Now if Qian Wanwan knew that those peripheral shares were acquired by the Rock Group, he would definitely be a little hostile. He would like to see if Lorraine has any way to turn conflicts into friendship and turn competitors into partners.
"How many are needed?" asked Mr. Zhou.
Lorraine held out five fingers: "No more, half a million is enough."
That night, Lorraine called out Brother Daqiang and the wolfdog Ayao, and the three met at the Moon Bar.
"Young Master Luo, call Ayao here today. What are you going to say hello?"
Lorraine said seriously: "Two brothers, let's be honest, I need your help this time."
Brother Daqiang and Wolf Dog looked at each other, and then both looked serious: "You say it."
Lorraine said slowly at this time: "Have you heard about the recent acquisition of peripheral shares of Caesars Palace by our Rock Group?"
Brother Daqiang and Wolf Dog nodded, and Daqiang said: "I heard about it, but it doesn't seem to have spread widely, and only some senior staff within Caesars Palace know about it. Although we have millions of dollars, We are a whole generation apart, but Ayao and I often go to Caesar Palace to have fun. To be honest, we are both senior members there. Although we are not as good as other wealthy merchants, we can still be considered as friends with millions of dollars. We look familiar, and we can be considered brothers and sisters with some of the senior executives at Caesars Palace. After all, we all started out in the dark, and we have a lot in common."
"That's it." Lorraine said, "That's why I came to find Brother Daqiang and Brother Ayao. That's it, I want to hire you as my personal financial consultant."
"Um?"
Brother Daqiang and Wolf Dog were both stunned, wondering what kind of fun Lorraine was playing.
"Young Master Luo, stop joking, we are both rough people, what kind of financial consultants can we be?"
Lorraine corrected: "This is just the surface. In fact, I want to rely on your relationship to be able to have a few words with those millions of dollars, even some senior staff at Caesars Palace. Giving you this status can be regarded as A convenience.”
"I still don't understand." Wolfdog shook his head first.
Lorraine thought for a while: "Let's put it this way. I actually just wanted to create an illusion for Qianwanwan, so that he would think that the previous series of acquisitions of peripheral shares in Caesars Palace were the play of a rich young man like me. The purpose of letting you go with me is to paralyze them, so that you can fan the flames and reveal some 'truth' in my words. Mainly, I want Qian Wanwan to eliminate his hostility towards the Rock Group. If he finds out that I He is an out-and-out playboy, so he will let down his guard and even accept me as the controlling shareholder who suddenly appears, do you understand now?"
Daqiang heard this clearly and kept shaking his head: "Young Master Luo, you are quite cunning."
Lorraine smiled and said nothing.
Wolfdog went through what Lorraine said and finally understood what the manly young master of the Luo family was trying to do. He immediately said: "Brother Ayao, I am not asking you the right words. There are two questions in total."
"Brother Ayao, tell me."
