Chapter 421 - Conditions for Reconciliation
The atmosphere in the room became a little solemn. Lu Jing and Mo Xinlan's minds were both rapidly calculating gains and losses. If it is purely in terms of IQ, Mo Xinlan, who graduated from INSEAD, may be even better. However, in terms of power and opportunity, Lu Jing has to at least throw Mo Xinlan off the street.
Mo Xinlan frowned deeply, looked at Lu Jing, who was sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed and smoking leisurely, and said, "Withdrawing from Northern Minghua is just a normal business behavior. Now that Hong Kong's economic situation continues to deteriorate, Mohs needs to cash in on the benefits of its previous investment. β
After speaking, Mo Xinlan settled down. The Mohs Group has invested a total of $200 million in military enterprises, and now this part of the funds has increased to $330 million, and there are still $264 million in funds that have not been withdrawn. The father's methods are relatively hidden, and even if he investigates, it will never be possible to find out in a short time.
Lu Jing flicked the cigarette ash and said with a smile: "I believe that the Mo Group has done a seamless job on the books. However, you never understand that many things only need to be viewed, not evidenced. Business competition is a continuous, iterative process, and it also needs to consider factors such as industry cycles. But the political struggle is hidden in the shadows, and it strikes suddenly at a critical juncture. Lu Jing stretched out his right hand, opened his five fingers, and then shook it hard, his tone was calm, "Bleeding and vanity are just a matter of a moment." β
Mo Xinlan felt Lu Jing's grip hard, as if she was holding her heart, "What do you want to say?" β
"If the Liu family pays attention to your intention to withdraw your investment, how do you think the Liu family will react?" Lu Jing smiled, "Of course, I didn't mean to expose you. Perhaps we can talk about other areas of cooperation. β
It's a bit early to cut off the relationship between the Mo family and the Liu family. The Liu family can also find new capital for cooperation. Keeping a half-hearted partner is for Lu Jing. The pros outweigh the cons.
Lu Jing actually hoped in his heart that the Mo family would continue to fight with Liu Jiaxu, and then fight back at a critical time. But how can he ensure that the Mo family can listen to him at a critical time?
"Cooperation?" Mo Xinlan glanced at Lu Jing in disbelief. I couldn't figure out his intentions. The restructuring of military enterprises is the proud stroke of Old Man Liu, if the Liu family now pays attention to the Mo family's secret withdrawal. It is bound to be thought that the Mo family is beginning to alienate the Liu family. Then, the remaining $264 million in funds will inevitably be frozen. In Beijing, Sky Blue International and Datang Yujing, with a total assets of about 550 million US dollars, will also be implicated. Mohs Group's total assets are only about $1.2 billion, including many real estates. The Mo family could not afford such a loss.
"Didn't you tell me last time about working together on Zhengying Home Appliances? I'm a little interested right now. Lu Jing extinguished the cigarette, took out a signature and a foldable gel pen from his coat pocket, wrote down a number and handed it to Mo Xinlan.
See that it says "10%, $30 million." Mo Xinlan hesitated. With the stock price of Zhengying Appliances at this time of HK$2.66, 10% of the shares are worth about US$76 million. In other words, Lu Jing asked her to pay nearly $50 million in exchange for a settlement - Lu Jing became the major shareholder of Zhengying Household Appliances and cooperated with the Mo family to operate Zhengying Household Appliances, which naturally meant reconciliation.
"How can I believe that you are really willing to cooperate with my Mohs Group?"
Lu Jing smiled and said, "Why don't I let you hold Jinghua's shares?" β
Mo Xinlan was a little moved. Immediately startled, Lu Jing was digging a pit for her to jump. With the bad relationship between the Lu and Liu families, she holds Jinghua's shares, and it is conceivable what the Liu family will think.
Jing Shao said and laughed. Jinghua holds a stake in Zhengying Home Appliances, and it is difficult for me to explain it to the Liu family. Mo Xinlan stroked her hair with her tail fingers, and her brain became flexible. She found that it always took a while to get back to her normal level of business negotiation when facing Lu Jing. Probably the first few failures made her always have a hint of gloom in her heart.
"Oh? How did you explain to the Liu family about Yuexin Electronics taking the mobile phone components from Jinghua? There is also the matter of Xinye Bank lending to Jinghua. Lu Jing folded the gel pen and put it in the pocket of his clothes, and leaned back on the sofa for a long time.
"Yuexin Electronics is seeking transformation under the pressure of survival, and the contract is clearly written. The referral to the credit bank is just an exchange. We have a cooperative relationship with the Liu family, not a vassal relationship. Mo Xinlan said. As long as the Mo family is still using funds to support the development of political figures in the Liu family's circle. And there is no behavior to support the opponent of the Liu family. Then, the Mo family will be able to get the support of Liu Jiazheng's power.
Helping Jinghua get a loan this time is a bit of a sideshow, and his father has already communicated with Liu Weiyi of the Liu family. However, if Jinghua is allowed to hold the shares of Zhengying Home Appliances. That's not the same nature. That's a business partnership with Lu Jing.
"The acquisition of Zhengying Home Appliances will be related to Ruifeng's affiliated companies. I will let the three companies hold separate shares, and the acquisition will not be exposed. "Holding more than 5% of the shares of a listed company needs to be reported to the securities regulatory authority. Lu Jing smiled confidently, "As for the sincerity of cooperation." Xinhong Department Store and Sky Blue International have been in opposition for a long time. Uncle Dong must be willing to sit down and talk to you about the development of the department store retail industry in Beijing. Harmony makes money! β
Seeing that Mo Xinlan was slightly moved, Lu Jing continued: "The Mo Group ate a lot of land in Hong Kong in the hands of Longsheng International when Dong Kunming was in charge of Longsheng International. It would be a pity not to develop it. Now Uncle Dong is at the helm of Longsheng International. You can also talk about cooperation in this area. β
"I need to think about it." Although the conditions were very attractive, Mo Xinlan kept an eye on it. Didn't agree to come down on the spot.
You must know that if Tianlan International and Xinhong Department Store reconcile, Tianlan International does not need to maintain a cautious capital chain to deal with the counterattack of Xinhong Department Store at any time, but can withdraw a large amount of money to start expanding. She is confident that within a year or two, she will double the value of Sky Blue International's assets. If this is a long-term income, then the development of real estate in Hong Kong with Longsheng International Cooperation is a near-term income.
Lu Jing has a benefit fee of 50 million US dollars, so he must not go to great lengths to tell the Liu family about the Mo family's preparation to withdraw from the military industrial enterprise.
"Okay, we'll talk about it after we think about it." Lu Jing stood up, said goodbye and left.
The door to the room slammed shut. A bright smile appeared on Mo Xinlan's face. Today, she inadvertently let Lu Jing guess the secret of the Mo family, but her gains in the next negotiations are still good. Although Lu Jing Lion opened his mouth widely. The benefits of 50 million US dollars were earned, but if he could cooperate with Dong Kuncheng. The benefits certainly outweigh that.
Looking at the time, he took out his mobile phone and called his father in Hong Kong, and explained the matter in detail, seeing that his father was silent on the phone, Mo Xinlan asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" β
"Xinlan, cooperating with Dong Kuncheng is a win-win situation, yes. Although the business people in the capital know that Dong Kuncheng and Lu Jing have a close relationship, after all, they are separated by one layer, and the Liu family can handle it. But. The conditions for Lu Jing's reconciliation are not so simple. β
"Huh? Didn't he ask for $50 million? β
"It's not all. Suppose one day, he needs the Liu family to turn face with us, he only needs to put the shares of Zhengying household appliances under the name of Ruifeng Company, and at the same time report to the Securities Regulatory Commission for the record, then the people of the Liu family immediately found that we have cooperated with Lu Jing. β
"But we have many reasons to explain this matter to the Liu family."
"Hehe, you still don't understand what he said, for political figures, some things don't need evidence. Just a view. β
"Oh-!" Mo Xinlan stroked her forehead and felt powerless, what kind of bullshit logic is this-no evidence is needed, only opinions. Rub your head. Mo Xinlan continued to ask: "Dad, are you saying that Lu Jing doesn't need the Liu family to turn his face with us now?" So he won't go and reveal our affairs to the Liu family. β
"Not bad. Lu Jing now makes the Liu family turn against us, although we will suffer a great loss. But the Liu family can find new collaborators. This is not good for Lu Jing. So he accepted the rapprochement with us. Of course, he wants us to leave the handle for him. Zhengying Home Appliances is this handle. β
"Accept the settlement? I didn't bring it up first. Mo Xinlan said puzzled. It was Lu Jingxian who proposed the cooperation. β
"Hehe, it's smart for you to show that we're divesting in the military-industrial complex. Let Lu Jing know that we have no intention of tying ourselves to death with the Liu family. That's why he will propose to cooperate later. If the cooperation is reached, we have already reached some kind of reconciliation with Lu Jing. Haha, Xinlan, you did a good job this time, quite beautifully, and solved the problem that has been in my heart during this time. β
"Dad, I really didn't mean to." Mo Xinlan rolled her eyes helplessly, where was her scheming so deep that Cheng DΓΉ, when she was first seen by Lu Jing, she was almost frightened by that kid. This can be regarded as an unintentional planting of willows and willows!
"Then we are going to hand this handle to Lu Jing, and then cooperate with Dong Kuncheng?"
"Yes. This handle is like a name. Otherwise, Lu Jing probably won't accept reconciliation with us. You must know that we are still supporting the development of the Liu family. He needed something on his hands. β
"But in this way, Lu Jing has completely grasped the initiative."
"So we're going to speed up and do two things. First, it is necessary to speed up the withdrawal of funds invested in military industrial enterprises, and at least to preserve the capital. Of course, it is impossible to withdraw them all, and that piece is still profitable.
Now that Lu Jing already knows, I will communicate with Liu Weiyi in a while and pick this matter to the fore. Hong Kong's economy has deteriorated, and we need to cash out some of the money. The Liu family will accept this reason. Once picked, we will be able to withdraw funds faster.
The withdrawn funds can be Internet and Vietin Electronics. All the funds of Azure International are used for their own expansion. This is also the second point I want to say, let Sky Blue International go out of the capital and develop in East China and other places. If the Liu family is angry, they can reduce their losses as much as possible.
In addition, after the transfer of the shares of Zhengying Home Appliances, we need to increase our holdings and maintain a relative holding. Although the handle is given to Lu Jing, I don't want this profitable company to change hands.
I believe that Lu Jing is a smart person, and there is a high probability that he will notify us before transferring the shares of Zhengying Household Appliances to the name of Ruifeng Company. β
hung up the phone to his father, and Mo Xinlan gradually had a bottom in his heart. The Mo family can actually put aside Lu Jing and find a reason to find a reason to clarify the matter with the Liu family, and Lu Jing will lose the bargaining chip to threaten the Mo family.
But the Mo family did not have the will to be tied to the Liu family, so they just took this opportunity to reconcile with Lu Jing. In the final analysis, the handle of Zhengying household appliances was voluntarily sent to Lu Jing's hands by his father. Lu Jing must have expected this, otherwise, his asking price would not be 50 million US dollars, and it is estimated that it will be higher.
Looking at my extremely beautiful face in front of the makeup mirror and rubbing it, it felt extremely unreal. She and Lu Jing talked face-to-face, but her father didn't see it thoroughly.
An unintentional mistake actually led to so much exchange of interests and cooperation. The details are extremely intricate. Alas, Lu Jing, this kid has so many doors, he was really accidentally sold by him, and it was possible to help him count the money. With such a complex relationship of interests, how did he sort it out in such a short period of time? Who is the eye behind him and I don't know yet?
It seems that some people's success is not a fluke. Mo Xinlan picked up her mobile phone and prepared to call Lu Jing, thought about it, and put it down again. He is probably smug now, let him dry for a while.
"Who is he going to give that phone to?" A thought suddenly flashed in Mo Xinlan's mind. (To be continued......)
