Lu Yan and Guo Jian knocked on the door and walked into his father Lu Jiancheng's office, and saw that his uncle Lu Jianchao was also standing on the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the sunset, his face was somewhat hideous, and he said angrily:

“...... Today's transaction data came out, the business department of Dongjiang Securities Zhijiang Road bought more than 9 million Taihua in a special account today, and the previous business department only had extremely fragmentary transaction records of Taihua stocks - it seems that the news that Han Shaorong said yesterday is true, and Cao Mo's return to China this time is a special deployment to attack us......"

Taihua has always been short of money, but after the construction of the Conero Marina New City in the first half of the year, the federal and local governments of Kanem were stimulated by crude oil revenues and enthusiastically supported it.

Draculamo City Hall has not only helped to match, but has also promoted dozens of large and small enterprises to move into the industrial park, resulting in a significant increase in industrial land sales, and even given financial and tax subsidies and reductions many times, which has miraculously turned Taihua's cash flow in Kanem into a positive one.

Generally speaking, Taihua can barely cope with the construction of a series of projects such as the new Taihua oil refining stone, Conero Lake Port, and the living supporting area, namely the Binhai New City Start-up Area.

At present, the assets that Taihua can mortgage in China have basically been mortgaged, and domestic banks will not accept the mortgage of overseas assets, so Taihua has not dealt with banks much this year.

Even if there are some debts that have matured one after another, they have basically borrowed new debts to repay old debts smoothly, and like Cao Mo, they did not have any direct experience of the subprime mortgage crisis or the tightening of domestic monetary policy until August.

August is a very critical watershed moment, before crude oil futures-based international commodities are still hot, maintaining the last confidence of most investors in the global economy - in the eyes of many analysts and experts and scholars, as long as the passion for commodities remains, the subprime mortgage crisis is an innocuous small CASE, which may have a great impact on financial institutions directly involved in the subprime mortgage business, but it should be nothing more.

Crude oil futures fell from their year-to-date gains in less than 10 days, and the money shortage caused by the tightening of global monetary policy also caused international gold futures to fall below $800 per ounce, and other commodities were weak.

When the most important front in the international financial and investment market gave up its defense, it was natural that there would be a lot of mourning.

At this moment, almost all economists and analysts have given up their optimistic attitude and turned around, believing that the trend of the subprime mortgage crisis spreading to all aspects of the global economy has been established.

Almost overnight, the domestic financial media was also shrouded in these pessimistic voices, and the stock market also fell again and again.

After August, some banks in Taihua borrowed money, and it was difficult to borrow new ones to repay the old ones - in addition to the key projects, the construction of other projects in Conero Marina New City has also slowed down to reduce the consumption of cash.

Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan happened to be in China during this time, and suddenly received a call from Han Shaorong the night before yesterday, saying that Tianyue was likely to snipe at Taihua's stock price in the near future, and they were still figuring out the credibility of Han Shaorong's words, but they didn't expect it to be verified in just two days.

The stock market continues to be sluggish, investors' willingness to trade is extremely low, a large number of retail investors are lying flat and pretending to be dead, Taihua's average daily trading volume is less than 20 million, and the daily trading volume of a business department of Dongjiang Securities has reached 9 million, and even Taihua's stock price is red against the market, which is naturally blinding.

"......" Lu Jianchao turned around, his face full of sadness.

For a long time, they have been fighting with Tianyue, so how exaggerated the speed of Tianyue's rise in just three or four years, and how strong it is at this time, they can feel it more personally.

In May, they raised some funds to try to push up Taihua's stock price by rebounding, so that they could pledge more funds to come out, but they didn't want Taihua's stock price to eventually fail to withstand the drag of the market.

Last time, we were fortunate that Taihua's share price was still within the safety line and managed to borrow sufficient funds from Banco Nacional Ultramarino to replenish the funds, without putting additional pressure on the fragile cash flow.

This time the situation was different.

Obviously, Cao Mo is very aware of the stock pledge on their side, if they can't come up with enough funds to maintain the stock price, once Cao Mo is called this miscellaneous to hit the stock price below the liquidation line, Taihua's financial crisis is destined to break out in an all-round way;

Cao Mo chose to make a move at such a time to kill them!

Lu Jianchao didn't know what kind of look he had at this time.

Angry?

They have been fighting with Tianyue for so long, and anger can only show their incompetence, and it will not solve any problems.

But whenever they have the opportunity, they will let Tianyue go and give up Cao Mo's miscellaneous? Now that they have been caught by Cao Mo's miscellaneous, do they expect Cao Mo not to beat them and show mercy?

"No matter how sluggish the stock market is, there are one or two hundred billion trading volumes per day, and Taihua still has a lot of hot topics to attract the attention of the securities market," Liang Tianming, an investment consultant hired by Taihua with a high salary, said quite calmly, "At present, Taihua's stock price is already at a low point, and a large number of investors have locked their accounts and no longer traded.

"......" Lu Jianchao sat opposite his brother Lu Jiancheng's desk and said, "Although it was Han Shaorong who reported to us in time this time, we can't pin all our hopes on him, especially this time to raise funds to stabilize the stock price, we still have to find ways from other channels as much as possible - what kind of person Han Shaorong is, we all know very well, there is no problem with cooperating with him in good times, but in adversity, we must always guard against him from stabbing us in the back......"

"I will pay attention to these - it is very difficult to raise funds in China during this time, even if you borrow a sum of money to make a transition, the cost is surprisingly high, and the only good news is probably that the stock price has fallen long enough, and you don't have to worry about how many orders will be taken out!" Lu Jiancheng is more polite than Lu Jianchao, and his eyes behind tortoiseshell glasses are still sharp even in adversity, but he also has to face the predicament in front of him.

"It only takes one more year to get out of the predicament!" said Lu Jianchao, "No matter how bad the global economy is, the demand for fuel and preliminary chemical raw materials in Kanem will always exist, and the gap is huge." Crude oil is extracted and then transported out of Africa for refining, and then it takes a lot of effort to transport fuel and primary chemical raw materials into Africa, regardless of the high transportation costs, and the various taxes and fees for entering and leaving the country are astonishingly high. The completion of the second phase of the new Taihua refinery will turn West African crude oil into fuel and primary chemical raw materials will be digested in the local market, which will surely become our cash cow. At that time, not only will Taihua's debt be alleviated, but there will also be enough funds to support the subsequent construction of Conero Marina New Town......"

Even though Lu Jianchao felt that Conero Binhai New City was too big and inappropriate in his heart, he still had high hopes for the Xintaihua Refinery, and it could even be said that he blamed the confidence of the Xintaihua Refinery and supported him to take the risk of joining forces with Volkov Investment and Han Shaorong to jointly implement the construction of Conero Binhai New Town.

The headache now is, if you avoid asking Han Shaorong to help at present, how to raise funds to stabilize Taihua's stock price, and not let Cao Mo's grandson succeed?

............

............

When I drove out of the Taifu Building, where the headquarters of Taihua is located, it was already late, and there was only a trace of clouds lying in the sky.

Guo Jian looked at the dim twilight outside the car window, and the lights were turned on in the depths of the traffic, but like the lampposts on both sides of the avenue, it was not clear enough.

Although he was only a follower by Lu Yan's side at this time, Taihua's fate had nothing to do with him, but thinking of sniping and possibly injuring Taihua was Cao Mo's miscellaneous pieces, Guo Jian felt indescribable irritability in his heart.

Fortunately, when he left the company, he passed the rush hour, and drove along the Hongqiao Road Elevated Road, which was very smooth all the way, which made Guo Jian superstitious and thought that maybe he would come to run in the future.

When the car arrived at the gate of the community, he saw two cars turning into the gate in front of him, Guo Jian couldn't help but be irritable again, the parking space in the new village was very tight, and two cars rushed into the community in front of him, which probably meant that he couldn't find a vacancy to stop the car in the community for half a day.

It's really a life like a dog, Guo Jianfang pressed the horn for a while to vent his inner depression.

“......”

Hearing that the car window was knocked, Guo Jian thought that he was frantically pressing the horn and asking someone to run over to find scum, he was angry, so he wanted to find someone to quarrel, pressed the window of the film, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but saw that it was Chen Xiaoping next to Han Shaorong who was looking down.

"Chen-Chen... Mr. Chen, what are you looking for me?" Guo Jian asked with a slight stammer.

Chen Xiaoping has always been Han Shaorong's follower, and he has a vice president in Huamao, and he does not hold any important positions, but is more of the general manager of Han Shaorong's side - Guo Jian certainly does not think that Chen Xiaoping happened to meet him at the gate of the community.

"Manager Guo, do you have time to find a place to sit?" asked Chen Xiaoping.

"Mr. Chen, what is there to ask me for? Where can I sit down? Okay. Guo Jian looked left and right in a bit of a panic, there was no one else, and no other cars were parked left and right.

"Drive forward!" Seeing Guo Jian's agreement, Chen Xiaoping opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, signaling Guo Jian to drive forward directly.

The car was parked in front of an inconspicuous street-facing café near the Pujian community.

Guo Jian followed Chen Xiaoping into the dimly lit café with no customers, and saw Han Shaorong sitting in the corner, looking at a Xinhai Evening News that I don't know if it was today or two days earlier.

Seeing Chen Xiaoping, Guo Jian of course wanted to guess that Han Shaorong wanted to see him, but he didn't know what Han Shaorong was looking for him, and he was full of apprehension and shock.

Han Shaorong folded the newspaper and put it aside, looked at Guo Jian, who was surprised and suspicious, and asked with a smile: "Why, Manager Guo never thought that one day he would see me alone somewhere?"

Guo Jian sat down opposite Han Shaorong in disbelief, but saw that Chen Xiaoping did not come over, but sat far away in another corner of the small hall.

Guo Jian's mind was spinning rapidly, but he couldn't understand why Han Shaorong suddenly found him at this time.

"Cao Mo is finally going to attack Taihua, Manager Guo, do you think Taihua can escape this catastrophe?" Han Shaorong asked slowly.

"......" Guo Jian wanted to say something, but he felt that his throat and eyes were indescribably dry, and he muttered for a long time before he said, "Taihua has Mr. Han's support, which onion is Cao Mo?"

"It's a pity that Lu Jiancheng and Lu Jianchao don't trust me, even if I announced the news to them in such a timely manner yesterday, they haven't given me any feedback until now," Han Shaorong said indifferently, "Today I deliberately took the time to take a look at Taihua's disk, the trading volume has been enlarged a lot, and it has become popular against the market, obviously the funds gathered by Cao Mo have entered the market today, and my source of information is reliable!"

Guo Jian didn't want to ask Han Shaorong how he could have known about this in advance, whether someone around Cao Mo had been bought by him, but he just said stubbornly: "The Zhijiang Road Business Department of Dongjiang Securities has a large number of bills, about nine million, which is particularly conspicuous at this time, and Cao Mo doesn't seem to hide his intentions." ”

Some transaction data will not be disclosed to the public, but the exchange will feedback to the listed company in a timely manner, and Guo Jian doesn't know what is wrong with telling Han Shaorong about these things - these are all things that Han Shaorong expected.

There is no need for Cao Mo to hide his intentions, and even deliberately expose it to disrupt the Lu family brothers' position, and he has already achieved his goal. I still have the same question just now, and I want to ask Manager Guo a promise. Han Shaorong said

"I can't say that either. Guo Jian said worriedly.

"Regardless of whether Taihua can escape this catastrophe or not, Manager Guo was kicked out of Dongsheng by Cao Mo and Shen Ji, and it seems that he is not happy in Taihua-maybe so, you don't care much about Taihua's fate called Manager Guo, right?

"Cao Mo sniped Taihua's stock price because he wanted to make the Lu family violent, but he wouldn't fight for a controlling stake in Taihua, right?" asked Guo Jian.

"You have been dealing with Cao Mo for so many years, what kind of person Cao Mo is, can't you see it?" Han Shaorong said with a smile, "He is now holding two or three billion cash in his hand and not moving, if he really wants to blow up Taihua's stock price, he doesn't need to use so much money, he is preparing for taking over the equity assets pledged by the Lu family from major financial investment institutions!"

Guo Jian would not suspect that Han Shaorong was lying, Han Shaorong had no need to lie to such a small person as him, but he thought that one day the listed company Taihua would fall into the hands of Cao Mo, and he would be expelled like a water dog again, and he was so sad that he couldn't do it.

"Manager Guo doesn't want to see Huamao become the controlling shareholder of Taihua?" asked Han Shaorong slowly.

"......" Guo Jian was taken aback.

Although Lu Jianchao has always been wary of Han Shaorong, especially when he said just now that Han Shaorong might stab Taihua in the back, to be honest, he never thought about it, thinking that Han Shaorong intended to suppress Cao Mo and not let Cao Mo come out, Huamao has such huge assets, there are countless high-quality projects waiting for them to invest, where can they just stare at their collaborators?

Facts have proved that Lu Jianchao's vigilance is not without reason, but that he is naïve.

"This is the business card of Shi Mingde, the manager of the new E-China Fund Company," Han Shaorong pushed a business card to Guo Jian and said, "Shi Mingde is more insatiable, usually speaking, as long as he spends one or two million, ask him to take one or two hundred million funds from the fund he manages to Taihua to support the stock price, there is no difficulty at all - Manager Guo can recommend him to Lu Yan......"

"Recommend this Shi Mingde to Lu Yan, pay to buy Shi Mingde, and let Shi Mingde use the funds of the public fund to give Taihuatuo's stock price, and then Shi Mingde accidentally happened, which caused Taihua's stock price to double and plummet?" Guo Jian asked in shock.

"Shi Mingde's case is also because of other things, and the matter with Taihua will only be inadvertently involved, and it will definitely not make people suspect Manager Guo on your head - after such a thing happens, at most, it can only make people feel that Taihua is unlucky, and whoever suffers is unlucky!" Han Shaorong said with a smile, "Of course, if Manager Guo thinks that Taihua falls into the hands of Cao Mo, it doesn't matter, you can leave this business card for yourself!"

"If I don't know this Shi Mingde, how can I recommend it to Lu Yan?" Guo Jian put away his business card without hesitation.

He didn't think he was qualified to bargain with Han Shaorong, even if he was used by Han Shaorong, it could only show that he was somewhat valuable.

"Shi Mingde has no other hobbies, he likes to drink some flower wine in Oriental Meili, and he is also easy-going, you rush over and be generous, invite him to a guest, maybe you will become friends today - besides, the last thing Taihua wants Cao Mo to succeed in is Manager Guo? You recommend Shi Mingde to Lu Yan, what is there to suspect the Lu family?" Han Shaorong said.

Guo Jian thought to himself, everyone knows that he doesn't want to see Cao Mo succeed in anything, at this time, even if he is not familiar with Shi Mingde, just hearsay that Shi Mingde has channels here, so he urgently recommends that Lu Yan try to get in touch, and there is nothing to worry about the Lu family will suspect him?

Han Shaorong stood up and said, "Think for yourself, I'll go first." ”

Guo Jian was in a trance for a while, and when Han Shaorong walked out of the café, he suddenly thought that he didn't even have the money to meet Shi Mingde and generously invite a guest to Dongfang Meili.

How much does it cost to spend a night?

Guo Jian thought that he had been a dog for Lu Yan in the past few years, but Kari didn't even have the money to spend wantonly on Dongfang Meili, and he couldn't help but feel sad and hateful, thinking that Lu Jiahe should be betrayed.

The door of the "Ding Yu ......" café was pushed open from the outside, causing a crisp sound of wind chimes.

Guo Jian turned his head and saw Chen Xiaoping coming over again, and put a black plastic bag that was propped up to square corners in front of his desk.

"Mr. Han will not treat people who can do things for him - Shi Ming is a person who likes to spend cash wherever he goes. Mr. Han thought to himself that Manager Guo could go to the bank to withdraw cash at this time

It's not very convenient, I deliberately prepared it for Manager Guo first, you can spend it at will, what is not enough, you can call me directly. Chen Xiaoping said.

"Okay!" Guo Jian stood up, and after Chen Xiaoping left, he excitedly opened the black plastic bag and saw that there were five bundles of cash inside.
