At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

"come in."

Hong Demin glanced at Li Yan and Liu Cheng standing next to him and stopped making things difficult for Cheng Feng.

The three of them walked into the villa and came to the study under the guidance of Hong Demin. After they sat down, Cheng Feng hurriedly introduced the two parties.

"Uncle Hong, this is Mr. Liu Cheng, President of Houtian Capital's China region, and this is Mr. Li Yan, Vice President of Skynet Fund's China region. And this, Mr. Hong Demin, the second-largest shareholder of Dade Group."

"Hello, Mr. Hong. I've long heard of you. Under your and Mr. Cheng's leadership, Dade has maintained a strong upward momentum over the years. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to meet you, but I've never had the chance. It's a great honor to meet you today."

Liu Cheng and Li Yan handed out their business cards one after another.

Hong Demin took the business card, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you two came here for more than just an acquaintance, right?"

"Haha, Mr. Hong is a straightforward person. I won't hide anything. We at Houtian Capital are very optimistic about the prospects of Dade Group. We came to visit you this time to acquire the Dade shares you hold."

Hong Demin was not surprised at all. After all, apart from his shares, he had nothing else that they could care about.

"Uncle Hong, ever since I discovered Liang Junzheng's sinister intentions, I've been regretting it these past few days. Yesterday, I went to the hospital to talk to my dad, and he scolded me severely. My dad told me to come and apologize to you in person no matter what."

Although Hong Demin was very depressed, he would not argue with a junior. He waved his hand and said, "Things have come to this. For Old Cheng's sake, I accept your apology. I was originally planning to retire next year, but now I am only retiring a year early."

"I've been the vice president at Dade for so many years, and I'm tired. It's okay to retire early, so don't blame yourself too much."

Cheng Feng smiled bitterly, "Uncle Hong, when you say that, I feel even more guilty."

Liu Cheng interrupted, "Everyone has been young and made mistakes. As long as we can learn from our mistakes and grow, then the mistakes are not in vain."

Hong Demin turned his gaze to Liu Cheng. "Since I've decided to let go of everything and enjoy my retirement life, I will definitely not continue to hold on to my shares. If you, Houtian Capital, want to acquire them, you can, provided you give me a satisfactory price."

"At the close of trading this afternoon, Dade's stock price continued to fall, and its market value has now fallen below 8 billion. We can purchase your shares for 800 million."

Acquiring 10% of the shares at a price of 800 million is equivalent to calculating based on a market value of 8 billion. There is a slight premium, but this premium obviously cannot satisfy Hong Demin.

"The price is too low. To put it bluntly, buying my shares at this price is like taking advantage of my misfortune."

Liu Cheng and Cheng Feng looked at each other and asked, "Since Mr. Hong thinks the price is too low, please make an offer."

Hong Demin did not make a direct bid, but deliberately revealed a piece of information to Liu Cheng.

"Before you, Liang Junzheng also came to me and promised me that when he became chairman, he would give me a large pension."

Hong Demin did not say how much the pension was exactly, but his intention was obvious: he wanted the two parties to compete, and the one with the highest bid would get the shares.

Everyone present was smart and understood Hong Demin's tricks immediately, but they didn't know that Hong Demin was lying. Liang Junzheng hadn't arrived yet, and Cheng Feng had arrived even earlier.

"Mr. Hong, have you ever thought about what would happen if Liang Junzheng fails to become chairman? The pension he promised you would be gone."

Liu Cheng's mind raced, and he quickly figured out the loophole and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle Hong, Liang Junzheng is a typical example of someone who gets something for nothing. Even if he gets the 10% stake from you, it won't necessarily help him become the chairman. As long as my father is still in Dade, it will be difficult for Liang Junzheng to achieve anything."

Hong Demin was silent. He had to say that Cheng Feng's words made sense. Even if Cheng Shengen had lost his support, his roots were deep and his influence was still great. It would be difficult for Liang Junzheng to overthrow Cheng Shengen in a short period of time.

By cooperating with Liang Junzheng, you get a promise that may not be fulfilled, and this promise is also made up by yourself. It is still unclear whether Liang Junzheng will agree to it.

Instead of that, it would be better to sell the shares to Liu Cheng. In this way, Cheng Shengen's basic support in Dade will not change, and no matter how much Liang Junzheng jumps around, he can't turn the tide.

"Your offer is too low. My target price is 1 billion. We all know that Dade's current share price is the result of malicious speculation. The shares I hold are worth this price."

Hong Demin actually felt quite regretful. If he had known so many things would happen later, he should have reduced his shares a few years ago. He would definitely have earned more than he does now.

Liu Cheng frowned. The price of 1 billion was not unacceptable. Houtian Capital had plenty of money, and the difference of 200 million was nothing in his eyes. The problem was that he couldn't do it this way.

Qin Fan spent so much effort to push down Dade's stock price, but he bought shares for 10 billion. What would Qin Fan think of him?

I'm afraid the impression of incompetence is inevitable.

Since Qin Fan is suppressing Dade’s stock price, I cannot offer too high a premium, otherwise I would be slapping him in the face.

After figuring this out, Liu Cheng stopped bargaining with Hong Demin and left with regret.

Walking to the car, Liu Cheng frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction to Cheng Feng.

"Mr. Cheng, you promised me that you would do your best to help me convince Hong Demin, but you saw what happened just now. That old man only cares about money and not people. Your face is not going to work."

After saying that, Liu Cheng gave Li Yan a wink.

Li Yan understood, sneered, and stabbed Cheng Feng's heart mercilessly.

"Not only did Young Master Cheng's face fail, but even Mr. Cheng's face was not given by Hong Demin. I doubt they were really close allies in the past."

Cheng Feng was bullied by the two men and immediately lost face.

He forced a smile and said, "Ultimately, this is all my fault. If I hadn't been so impulsive and reported Hong Demin at the meeting, he wouldn't have been so angry with me. He offered Mr. Liu such a high price, probably partly to get revenge on me."

Liu Cheng was still thinking about how to trick Lu Feng, but he didn't expect that he had entered the circle first. In that case, there was no need to be polite.

"Mr. Cheng, I don't care whether your relationship with Hong Demin is good or bad. I will definitely not accept Hong Demin's exorbitant price for this share acquisition. If you can't deal with him, we at Houtian Capital don't mind finding a new partner."

The change of cooperation partner is most likely referring to Liang Junzheng.

Of course Cheng Feng heard Liu Cheng's threat and couldn't help but feel angry.

What's this guy up to? He changes partners at the drop of a hat. Does he have any integrity left?

Li Yan hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Boss Liu, this can't be entirely blamed on Master Cheng. No one expected Hong Demin to change so drastically, to stop caring about everything and focus solely on getting more pensions. I think, since Liang Junzheng can promise Hong Demin something, so can we!"

Cheng Feng suddenly came to his senses, "You mean, we can also promise Hong Demin to pay him a large pension?"

"Yes, Dade is still under the control of President Cheng. Our promise is much more practical than Liang Junzheng's empty words. Hong Demin will definitely side with us."

One is the actual controller of Dade, and the other is the third largest shareholder. Is there any doubt about whose promise carries more weight?

The only problem is that paying Hong Demin a pension far exceeding that of a vice president will harm the interests of other shareholders. Many people will surely jump out to oppose it, and it depends on whether Cheng Shengen can deal with those people.

Liu Cheng's brow relaxed. "Cheng Feng, as long as you can convince your father to push through Hong Demin's pension, the acquisition negotiations can continue. Otherwise, I don't mind working with Liang Junzheng."

One of them played the good cop and the other the bad cop. How could Cheng Feng resist the tactics of these two old bastards? He nodded decisively and said, "I'll find a way to convince my father. You guys wait for my news."

After Cheng Feng left, Liu Cheng took the initiative to thank Li Yan, "Mr. Li, thank you for your help just now."

Li Yan hurriedly said politely, "I'm working for President Qin, so there's no need to thank me."

"Boss Qin, do you have any other instructions?"

Li Yan didn't know what the relationship between Liu Cheng and Qin Fan was, so he didn't dare to reveal too much to him.

"Boss Qin only asked me to help you acquire Hong Demin's shares. That's all."

Seeing this, Liu Cheng didn't ask any more questions, said goodbye to Li Yan, and drove away.

……

Cheng Feng rushed to the hospital and recounted in detail how he met Liu Cheng and the negotiations with Hong Demin.

"Dad, I didn't expect Uncle Hong to be so ruthless and ask for 1 billion yuan right out of the blue. Mr. Liu from Houtian Capital was very dissatisfied with this and threatened me that if I couldn't deal with Uncle Hong, he would cooperate with Liang Junzheng."

Cheng Shengen listened quietly without showing much expression.

The reason why he supported Cheng Feng in the fight with Liang Junzheng was not to take revenge on Liang Junzheng. Cheng Shengen's real intention was to test his son's ability.

Cheng Feng was able to attract an investment company with strong financial resources, so at least he had good connections, which Cheng Shengen was quite satisfied with.

But what I am not satisfied with is his personality. He is as impulsive as before and too restless in doing things.

You get so anxious just because someone makes a threat. How can this cooperation continue?

"The problem now lies with this pension. Liang Junzheng has already promised Uncle Hong that as long as he becomes chairman, he will give Uncle Hong a large pension. Mr. Liu's suggestion is that we can also make Uncle Hong a similar promise."

"You're begging me to push this matter forward at the board meeting?"

Cheng Feng nodded. "Dad, as long as we can help Houtian Capital acquire this portion of equity, no one will be able to shake your position as chairman. No matter how capable Liang Junzheng is, he will be forced to leave."

"Once Liang Junzheng, the troublemaker, is dealt with, the other shareholders will settle down, and the turmoil in Dade will be over."

Cheng Shengen pondered for a moment, "What you said makes sense. Next time you negotiate with Hong Demin, tell him that I will give him a pension of no less than 50 million."

"Dad, thank you for your support."

Cheng Shengen waved his hand weakly, indicating that he could leave.

When Cheng Feng reached the door, Cheng Shengen suddenly asked, "Are you still unwilling to inherit my position?"

Cheng Feng stopped and shook his head sadly, "I have more important things to do."

"Is it the woman named Shen Bing?"

"Yes, it's her. From the first day I met her, I decided that she was the most important woman in my life."

"I understand." Cheng Shengen closed his eyes and said nothing more.

……

Hiding behind the scenes, manipulating one chess piece after another and letting them follow the trajectory designed by oneself can certainly bring a great sense of control and satisfaction, but the waiting process is really too boring.

The result is even more boring because there is no way to share your joy with others.

When watching those movies and TV shows in the past, Qin Fan found it difficult to understand why those villains who seemed to have extremely high IQs would suddenly become less intelligent at the moment of victory, jumping out and nagging in front of the protagonist, so that they would eventually be killed by the protagonist. Now he understands.

The victory behind the scenes can only be hidden behind the scenes. You can’t tell others and can only enjoy it secretly by yourself. Over time, it will definitely cause psychological problems.

Otherwise, why do so many people like Aizen? He is one of the few villains in many movies, TV shows and animations who did not die because of his talkativeness.

Even if the Shinigami captains figured out Kyoka Suigetsu's abilities, they couldn't escape the bug-like complete hypnosis and were still teased like children by Aizen.

Qin Fan envied such an ability. He also wanted to show his tricks to the enemy one day in the future, so that they would know clearly what he would do and how to do it, but would be powerless to change it.

The expression of knowing what will happen but being unable to do anything about it should be more interesting.

.......

488: The struggle is heating up! Li Meng comes to beg for mercy! Play with Li Meng!

Cheng Feng received a promise from his father and contacted Liu Cheng the next day, wanting to take him to visit Hong Demin again. Surprisingly, Liu Cheng refused.

The reason given was that if I visited them two days in a row, the other party would think I was very eager and would then bargain even harder for the price and be unwilling to give in.

Cheng Feng really wanted to deal with Hong Demin as soon as possible, but he was powerless, so he followed Liu Cheng's advice and waited and saw for a few days.

Liang Junzheng didn't know that Cheng Feng had already taken action. He calmly went to Hong Deming's house with gifts, wanting to talk to him about the shares.

Because of Cheng Feng's intervention, Hong Demin became fearless. He revealed Cheng Feng during the conversation and made it clear that whoever bids the higher price will get the shares.

Seeing that the negotiations had reached a deadlock before they even began, Liang Junzheng lost interest in continuing the talks and hurriedly left the Hong family to discuss countermeasures with the shareholders and institutional leaders who supported him.

Qin Fan was not very interested in the intrigues between the two sides, and instructed his subordinates to contact the media to continue hyping up the Dade Group.

The target of this hype is not only Cheng Shengen, but also the war between Cheng Feng and Hong Demin.

Although Cheng Shengen woke up, his physical condition was not good. The attending physician clearly stated that his heart was no longer strong enough to support him to continue working like a normal person. The media seized on this and hyped the news that Cheng Shengen was about to retire.

At the same time, the news that Cheng Feng ousted Hong Demin at the company's regular meeting was also spread, and various versions of the story were more exaggerated than the other.

As Cheng Shengen is about to retire, the power struggle within Dade becomes increasingly intense.

The media had previously hyped up Cheng Feng's dark history. In the eyes of ordinary people, Cheng Feng was just a playboy who only knew how to drink and play with women. Now he has driven Hong Demin out of office and seized power himself. All parties are worried about this.

Influenced by public opinion, Dade's stock price continued to fall. Retail investors could no longer bear the bottomless decline and chose to cut their losses and leave.

At this time, the talents arranged by Qin Fan began to enter the market to buy at the bottom and snap up those bloody chips.

In addition to buying at the bottom of the stock market, Qin Fan also arranged two friends to contact other shareholders one by one and persuade them to sell their shares to him.

The results in recent days have been considerable. Through a series of acquisitions, the shares Qin Fan currently controls have soared from the original 7.5% to 26%.

Cheng Shengen and Liang Junzheng were both aware of the turmoil in the stock market and guessed that an unfamiliar force had entered the market to grab a share of the market, but they reacted too slowly and failed to grab many chips.

Dade's stock price hit the ceiling in the scramble among the three forces, and continued to hit the daily limit in the following days. Such a strange trend shocked everyone.

Those retail investors who sold their shares at a loss were almost vomiting blood. They reported to the China Securities Regulatory Commission that someone was secretly and maliciously manipulating the stock price of Dade, and hoped that the authorities would intervene in the investigation.

Qin Fan did not feel much pressure in this regard. He was just buying at the bottom and never sold. There was no question of malicious stock price manipulation.

After all, the purpose of the purchase is to acquire Dade Group. There is no element of buying low and selling high or cashing in profits. Even if there is some inside information, the official will not forcibly intervene in the acquisition for such a small matter.

On the contrary, some internal personnel of the company took advantage of this short-term market trend to buy low and sell high, and were taken away by the police for investigation.

In general, everything is going according to plan. Once Liu Cheng acquires Hong Demin's shares, Qin Fan will be able to control 36% of the shares, which is enough to compete with Cheng Shengen.

But there is still a gap before completely controlling the Dade Group, and a competitor must be kicked out.

……

Qin Fan didn't go anywhere these days. After get off work, he stayed at home to accompany Peng Jiahe. The little girl had just lost her virginity and was at her most confused time. She became more clingy than before.

Lan Weiwei didn't notice the strange relationship between the brother and sister. She thought Qin Fan stayed specially to accompany her. She was very happy these days and tried all kinds of ways to please the big devil at night.
