Chapter 118: The Betrayal of Steel (4700 Words)
(PS: This chapter is mainly to fill in the pit of the previous Keyuan cheap gambling stone, explain some unexplained clearly, they are all business calculations, the content is relatively dry, it is a supplementary explanation to the reasonable party, and if you are not interested, you can skip the second half of this chapter)
Players in the stands of Jiangcheng University.
"Trainer-level elven ......"
The coach's face is not very good-looking.
This year's city race was supposed to be the easiest year for them to win the championship, and by the way, as Su Bai's debut, they won four consecutive championships perfectly, but they didn't want to be surprised.
Not to mention the sudden rise of Binzhu University, Shen Qingming and Liu Le have not entered the trainer level, and they will not be afraid.
But how did Finance and Economics, a second-rate team that has been ignored by everyone, suddenly emerge with a super strong player at the level of a trainer?!
The coach turned his head and looked at Su Bai, who was sitting in the back, which meant to ask him if he could deal with this Jin Enjing's swamp leaping fish.
Su Bai's eyes were also rare to be serious, staring at the movements of the swamp leaping fish on the field and observing.
After the elves broke through the trainer level, the elves' physical strength and energy reserves began to become more critical factors in determining their strength.
Although the elf attribute restraint and moves still have a great impact on strength, they are much smaller in comparison than before the breakthrough.
Su Bai tried to judge the strength of the swamp leaping fish by the speed and strength of its shot, but the battle ended too quickly, and he couldn't accurately judge the opponent's strength at all.
At the end of the two matches, the Swamp Leaping Fish only used one water jet, wrapped in a water jet and knocked the opponent away, ending the battle with one blow.
"There's no reference value in a one-sided battle, and that swamp leaping fish didn't go all out, but I'm okay with her."
Although Su Bai attaches great importance to the strength shown by Jin Enjing's swamp leaping fish, it is not worth it.
The coach nodded when he heard this, but his face didn't look much better, the champion who was originally nine out of ten is now five or five, and it's strange that his face can look good.
But he had no other way than to believe in Su Bai's strength.
Tomorrow's semi-finals are against the Shanghai Finance and Economics University.
This time is too urgent, at this time to know that the other party has such an amazing strength of the hole card, what's the use?
How can they have time to think of other strategies now, they can only rely on Su Bai's hard power to go up and compete with the other side.
Su Bai doesn't care about this, he is originally a player, and this is what he should do to try his best to win the opponent in the game, only the coach is very entangled.
on the playing field.
Kim Eun Jing and Meng Meng returned to the players' stands.
Finance eliminated the opponent and advanced to the semifinals.
The game ended so fast that the commentators didn't know how to explain it.
The commentary said that he was also very embarrassed, he asked himself that his basic skills were already very good, but he also did not explain this kind of 3-second game.
He can only brag about it now, how strong the strength of the swamp leaping fish is, and the financial contestants are very good-looking.
Fortunately, the on-site host quickly took over and entered the interactive part of the intermission, and the live camera also turned its head.
The response in the audience and in the live broadcast room was very enthusiastic.
A trainer-level elf appears on the field of the city competition, which is like a well-known little fresh meat with a heavy idol burden, who suddenly appears in a village Yangge team and twists Yangge, which can obviously bring a high degree of topic heat.
VIP stands.
Lord Thun was also interested.
He sipped the pipe in his mouth, and said to Zhou Shuo, the administrator of the alliance on the side:
"In the student college competition in Huaguo, there are even trainer-level elves appearing, and the cultivation level of ordinary elves here seems to be quite good.
I watched the university competition in London in January this year, and they were a lot worse than yours. ”
Zhou Shuo smiled and said:
"Of course, there are many cooperation projects between the Elf Alliance and Nanjiang Province, and the technical and educational resources are tilted, and the development of Nanjiang Province has been rapid in recent years.
Jiangcheng City is now among the first-tier cities and has become a modern metropolis in line with international standards, which mainly relies on these related derivatives of the elf industry.
In recent years, the level of city competition players in Nam Giang Province has been higher than one session.
The main reason is that in recent years, the import tax on elf cultivation resources on the Huaguo side has been gradually reduced, and the types of exports have gradually increased.
Many ordinary families can afford to buy cultivation resources, and they have gradually summed up better elf cultivation methods, and the average elf cultivation level of residents has naturally increased year by year.
The economic benefits of this are huge, and the alliance has already tasted a huge sweetness, otherwise the conservatives would not easily let us reformists go this way.
If the Dawkeson family is willing to liberalize import and export tariffs and trade protection barriers in London, they choose to cooperate with the alliance.
If you want to improve the overall elf cultivation level of ordinary people, it should not be a problem. ”
Zhou Shuo, as the administrative, commercial, and technical cooperation connector between the Elf Alliance and Huaguo, certainly knows this very well.
Lord Thun nodded as he listened, obviously agreeing with what Zhou Shuo said.
"Zhou, your statement is very convincing, only when the overall level of elf cultivation of ordinary people improves, and the maze resources we have mastered, can there be a target for dumping.
And as you know, I'm on the side of supporting cooperation with the Alliance.
It's just that my brother, the head of the Dorkson family, is apparently now more inclined to adhere to the family's outdated iron creed.
Therefore, in terms of cooperation, if it is premised on the Dawkeson family joining the Elven Alliance, his faction will definitely not agree. ”
Lord Thun wore a steel-ringed thumb and rubbed his pipe in his hand and shook his head with pity.
But!
His eyes were staring straight at Zhou Shuo, obviously not full of words.
Zhou Shuo smiled when he saw this, knowing that it was time for this British tycoon to make a statement.
The two got up one after another, walked out of the private room of the VIP stand, and came to an open-air stand outside the gymnasium where no one was there, avoiding the people who accompanied them, obviously to talk about something that they could not let others know.
Zhou Shuo opened his mouth first.
"Lord Thun, I've been in the league for so long and know a little bit about the Dawkeson family.
I have heard about your great achievements in acquiring fifteen leading industrial companies for the Dockerson Group when you were young, and you are no worse than your brother in terms of your contribution to Dockerson.
It stands to reason that you deserve to be rewarded for your contribution to the family, but now your voice in the Dawxon family is obviously not that important......"
Zhou Shuo directly picked out the words, and he knew very well what Lord Thun wanted.
Dawkeson, a British nobleman who has been inherited for a hundred years, has a huge family lineage, and because of the problems of lineage, it involves the inheritance of titles and fiefs, so there are always many parents who are not clear about the short things.
Modern times are not as good as ancient times, the ancient nobles still have rights, and there are people, and now the old British nobles, all that is left is fiefdoms.
Britain is a vast and sparsely populated place, and there is no real estate, and the value of real estate is far from as high as imagined, so if they want to support and maintain the expenses of the aristocracy, they can only rely on their own estate.
The profits of these industries are distributed to the family, and of course the weight is different, but it is generally based on the shares held.
Because Thun is the second son, he originally inherited more shares in the group than his brother.
Coupled with the factional strife within the family, the income has not been optimistic in recent years, and several companies in the hands have been in a downturn.
In fact, he has long been interested in cooperating with the Elven Alliance, and the reformists have approached the Dawxon family several times, wanting to win over this powerful foreign aid against the conservatives.
Thun's several negotiations with the Elven Alliance have been very smooth, and the Elven Alliance's cooperation project can bring huge profits and alleviate his embarrassing situation.
However, Thun's brother, who is at the helm of the Dawkeson family, does not agree to cooperate with the Elven Alliance, and does not want to get involved in the feud within the Alliance.
The companies under my brother are all sunrise industries, and they can guarantee that they will sit firmly in Diaoyutai, but Thun can't do it, he has already burned his ass.
The several industries in hand are getting worse and worse, and the competitiveness is getting weaker and weaker, and they will eventually sit on empty seats.
He must take advantage of the funds in hand to reach some cooperation with the Elven Alliance on some projects and establish a new industrial company.
The brothers' opposing interests, coupled with Thun's personal philosophy, were inherently inconsistent with Dawkeson's Iron Creed.
Therefore, the current Lord Thun obviously will not take into account the thoughts of his brother's faction as he said just now.
It's better to say that he is now enlisting the Spirit Alliance as foreign aid, and he has completely turned against his brother's faction and subverted the current order of the Dawkeson family.
"The intelligence network of the Elven Alliance seems to be really sharp......"
Lord Thun nodded, and did not deny what Zhou Shuo said.
"Now is the era of economic globalization, the Dawkeson family's unique steel creed, inherited for hundreds of years, should have long been outdated, if it were not for the constraints of this creed, the Dawkeson family's industry would be more prosperous than now."
"So you're ready to be a pioneer in breaking the creed, working with the Elven Alliance."
Zhou Shuo took over the conversation, but he said it at best, but in fact, it was ugly, and Thun was not forced to come out to cooperate because he couldn't get along anymore.
However, the Elven Alliance also has a demand.
The Dawkesons don't seem to have so much on the surface, but this behemoth has been rooted for hundreds of years, and its roots have spread throughout Europe.
Moreover, the Dawkeson family is the only family other than the Elven Alliance that has a large group of labyrinths in their hands.
Its strength is almost equivalent to half of the Elf Alliance, and with such a family, the Elf Alliance naturally hopes to absorb members.
It's just that after all kinds of methods have been exhausted for so many years, but to no avail, now that I have the opportunity to catch Lord Thune's line, I am naturally willing to try it.
"What kind of chips are you going to come up with?" If you want to get the help of the Elven Alliance, you just need to guarantee that after taking power, let the Dawkeson family join the Elven Alliance, and the alliance will not accept such empty checks.
Besides, if it fails, the Elven Alliance can't help in vain, you have to come up with something more realistic. ”
There are only two of them here, and Zhou Shuo doesn't beat around the bush when he speaks, if you want the alliance to help you, pay the deposit first.
Otherwise, if you fail and run away, won't the alliance have to bear the loss in vain.
"Keyuan Group!"
Lord Thun took a sharp puff of his pipe and spoke out his chips.
"Keyuan Group's secret jade industry is now faintly becoming the leader of the secret jade industry, and you should know the value of it.
At present, Keyuan Group, the Elf Alliance should only occupy a part of the equity, and the major shareholder is still the Dawkeson family.
As long as you are willing to invest, I can find a way to let the Elf Alliance Holdings pocket Keyuan and become the major shareholder of Keyuan.
The Elf Alliance should have always wanted to take Keyuan, but this equity tug-of-war has been fought for a long time. ”
"Hostile takeover?"
Zhou Shuo frowned, he knew that this was Thun's forte.
Although Keyuan Group belongs to the Elf Alliance, their profits are still dividends according to equity, and the Dawkeson family still takes the lion's share.
There are not a few big people in the league who have ideas about this cake, and this chip does have a certain value, but ......
"It's true that the alliance wants Keyuan very much, but the alliance is not willing to spend so much money to buy the shares in the hands of retail investors and minority shareholders at a high price, the cost performance is too low, if you want to do it, you will do it a long time ago, and you will not wait to do it."
Lord Thun shook his head when he heard Zhou Shuo's words.
"There is no need to acquire at such a high price, Keyuan's current profitability has a problem, and this problem will become more and more serious, and when the annual report is announced, Keyuan's stock price will dive rapidly.
When the time comes, the Elf Alliance will go to the minority shareholders for a hostile takeover, and there will be a lot of room for maneuver in terms of price. ”
Zhou Shuo listened to Lord Thun's words and did not answer immediately.
If what the other party said is true, then this is indeed an opportunity for the alliance to snatch Keyuan Group from Dawxon.
"Can you tell us about what you're talking about about profitability?"
Lord Thun even revealed in advance such a secret matter as Keyuan's unannounced annual report, and there was nothing else to hide.
"Keyuan has been moving a lot recently, and has done a lot of pilot projects, including Keyuan's live broadcast platform and cheap gambling stones."
Zhou Shuo nodded and said:
"I know that this is still in line with the line of the reformists in the alliance."
Lord Thun nodded and continued:
"Among them, the pilot project of cheap gambling stones has brought very serious huge losses to Keyuan."
"Keyuan lost money because of a pilot project?"
Zhou Shuo was stunned when he heard this, a large group like Keyuan, how can there be cost control for a pilot project, and the excess cost will be stopped immediately, and it is impossible to play with losses.
"In a month's time, hundreds of cheap gambling stone pilots have caused tens of millions of capital losses, which is enough to make Keyuan break his bones."
Lord Thun squinted, Keyuan's current situation was under his control.
"How is this possible?!"
Zhou Shuo was stunned, he didn't know that Keyuan had such a big loss now, this was unreasonable, how could a cheap gambling stone lose so much money.
"There is a disadvantage of cost control in the secret jade gambling stone industry, especially the lower the price of the rough stone, the more obvious this disadvantage is.
Companies that make gambling must be able to reasonably calculate and control this ratio and balance the cost of mining in order to achieve profitability, but it is still impossible to deny that this is the most vulnerable link in this industrial chain.
Cheap gambling stones, as long as you add some high-grade secret jade to send them out, the profit will soon be less than the cost of mining.
And under my cover, there are many branch managers below, who took this opportunity to make a lot of money. ”
The incident of embezzlement of secret jade by the manager of Keyuan's secret jade store that Ellore had previously found was not an isolated case, but involved all the pilots of Keyuan, and the mastermind behind it was Lord Thun.
Lord Thun's purpose is to depress Keyuan's stock price first, so as to facilitate a hostile takeover later.
As for what happened after that?
At that time, Keyuan's shareholders were all replaced, and the profits and losses were his own, which was just an operating loss.
"I'll pass on your news, using Keyuan as a bargaining chip, and the alliance should be willing to help you."
Zhou Shuo said.
"Okay, that's all for that, we should go back to the game."
Zhou Shuo said, and the two went back to the competition venue together.
The evening breeze blew lightly through the grandstands, and as the sun set, the shadows shifted in direction, revealing a Lucario behind the pillars supporting the terrace.
Lucario was holding a voice recorder in his hand, and the conversation between Lord Thun and Zhou Shuo just now had obviously been recorded.
Lucario's body surged with the power of the waveguide, and when he heard the call from the waveguide, his body jumped and disappeared into the terrace.
