My 1999

No. 4, Tianzi, Sixi Tower.

Looking at the old man opposite with a philistine smile on his face, Xu Liang smiled.

"I didn't expect Mr. Liu to choose the meeting place here."

"Who among the dignitaries in the entire Forty-Nine City doesn't know that Mr. Xu likes to come to Sixi Tower? Even the business receptions of Hongmeng, Hanhua, Jianlibao, and New Dream are all placed here. When I invite Mr. Xu to dinner, of course I have to choose a place that can satisfy the guests. My favorite place." Liu Chuanzhi smiled.

"Mr. Liu is interested."

"Mr. Xu is my distinguished guest, how dare you not try your best?" After a pause, "I heard that Hongmeng is conducting Series B financing?"

"good."

"I would like to congratulate Mr. Xu in advance. Based on Hongmeng's valuation, this financing can raise at least several billion US dollars. With so much money to protect Hongmeng, Hongmeng will surely be able to ride the wind and waves at home and abroad and make great progress."

The conversation changed.

"It's just that Mr. Xu is in such a big business, why would he still like a small company like Jinshan?"

Xu Liang smiled lightly, "Kingsoft's revenue exceeds 100 million, and it is not a small company. Moreover, Hongmeng is a game maker. Kingsoft's "Swordsman Love" is a big hit, and I am also very greedy."

"So, Mr. Xu will definitely acquire Jinshan?"

"Mr. Liu is a veteran in the business world. I hope you can show some sympathy to me, a junior, and don't sell the 30% shares of Jinshan Company at too high a price." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Kingsoft is Lenovo's main investment target. It suffered a lot of losses in the past few years. Now it has finally made money with the release of "Swordsman Love". Mr. Xu wants to acquire it. Isn't it too aggressive?"

"Aggressive?" Xu Liang smiled and shook his head, "I am just conducting reasonable business operations from the perspective of strength."

Liu Chuanzhi's eyes trembled.

"So Hongmeng must acquire Kingsoft?"

"Yes. If Mr. Liu is unwilling to sell, then we will win or lose based on our strength in the stock market." Xu Liangdao.

Liu Chuanzhi said in a deep voice: "Including Lenovo?"

"I'm used to 'treating enemies with leniency'." Xu Liang continued with a smile, "And Lenovo, as the number one in China's IT hardware field, is among the top in the country in terms of brand value and industrial value, both in terms of shares and companies. deficit."

"Lenovo is a state-owned enterprise, and it is also a collective enterprise. Mr. Xu should not waste his efforts..."

Xu Liang interrupted him, "I only know that Lenovo is a listed company. As for the state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises you mentioned, that is Legend Holdings, not the Lenovo Group I want."

"Mr. Xu, aren't you afraid that your appetite will overwhelm you to death?"

Xu Liang smiled and said: "I have already acquired Vivendi Games worth three billion US dollars, so why are I still afraid of Lenovo Group? Besides, the main body of acquiring Lenovo is Hanhua Capital, and now Hanhua's Qinglong No. 3 private equity fund has raised With 20 billion US dollars, I can kill Lenovo with just money.

You... why should you fight me? "

A trace of anger flashed in Liu Chuanzhi's eyes, and he said coldly.

"I admit that Mr. Xu is very capable, but don't forget that this is China. Money is important, but not as important as you think. Lenovo's connections and influence are far stronger than you think."

"Of course, I know that Mr. Liu has been in business for many years and has deep connections in the political and business circles. However, we in Hanhua also have many domestic investors."

Xu Liang leaned back, crossed his legs, and continued with a smile.

"At the critical moment, do you think your connections, Mr. Liu, value Hanhua more for bringing them actual benefits, or do they just have an empty association of 'favors'?"

Liu Chuanzhi frowned, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.

Regardless of capital or connections, the other party is above him.

Not to mention money.

In terms of connections, I know a lot of people.

What about him?

It’s just about getting to know some people.

Wow….

As the chair moved, Liu Chuanzhi slowly stood up.

"It seems we have nothing to talk about. Let's take our leave."

Xu Liang smiled and said: "Go slowly, I won't send you off. By the way, since it's Mr. Liu's treat, remember to settle the bill when you leave."

Liu Chuanzhi stopped, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room without answering.

Lu Huidao looked at the retreating figure.

"Mr. Xu, this person is too stubborn."

"Stubborn? Haha, in the face of the strength that can crush them, a smart person will know how to choose. ... He is a smart person."

"You mean he will compromise?" Lu Hui said.

"Let the bullets fly for a while first."

After saying this, Xu Liang picked up the chopsticks.

"Come on, don't waste such a sumptuous meal. Sit down and eat with me."

Lu Hui nodded and was not polite to the big boss.

On the other side, Liu Chuanzhi, who had settled the bill and got into the car, still looked ugly, while the secretary next to him was chattering.

"Chairman, that Xu Liang is too much of a bully. He has no respect at all for a senior businessman like you. We must teach him a lesson in the stock market this time and let him understand the principles of life..."

"Okay. Leave me alone."

The secretary nodded quickly, not daring to say anything more.

The car drove all the way to the company.

Looking at the Lenovo office building where the lights were still on for overtime work, Liu Chuanzhi felt much better.

All the way to the office.

Yang Qing and Zhu Linan were waiting here early after hearing the news.

"Chairman."

Liu Chuanzhi nodded, pushed the door open and walked in.

Everyone looked at each other and quickly followed.

Come to the reception room.

Liu Chuanzhi sat on the main seat without saying a word.

Yang Qing and Zhu Linan sat down next to them.

"How many shares does Hanhua hold in us now?" Liu Chuanzhi asked.

"Already 10%."

Liu Chuanzhi frowned, "So many?"

"Hanhua Capital Qinglong No. 3 Private Equity Fund has raised US$20 billion, and they have enough funds to make acquisitions."

Liu Chuanzhi nodded and continued to ask: "What about us?"

"41.8%."

"Why so few?" Liu Chuanzhi asked dissatisfied.

Legend Holdings previously held 41.2% of Lenovo Group's shares, but it only acquired 0.6% in one day. Compared with Hanhua's 5%, it was too little.

Yang Qing said cautiously: "Hanhua's bid is higher than ours, so most of the individual shares in the market have been bought by them. Unless we increase the price, it will be difficult to compete with them."

Hearing this, Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but feel depressed.

The money they used to repurchase shares was earned by the company itself, but the money was borrowed.

Spending your own money is certainly not as generous as borrowed money.

"Where's Jinshan Company? How much did Hanhua acquire?" Liu Chuanzhi asked.

"The latest data we got is 7.4%."

Zhu Linan said quickly.

"It's only been less than two days, and that's already so much?"

"Hanhua's capital is too strong."

There was frustration in Zhu Linan's tone. He had completely given up the idea of ​​taking charge of Jinshan Company.

Without it, the strength gap is too big.

Lenovo's funds are only enough to protect itself, but not enough to protect its Jinshan.

Liu Chuanzhi was silent for a moment.

"You two go to Hanhua tomorrow, have a detailed discussion with Xu Liang, and sell the shares to him as long as the price is right."

Yang Qing and Zhu Linan nodded, they had expected this day.

"Chairman, what is our bottom line on price...?"

Yang Qing asked carefully.

"The market value of Kingsoft Corporation has increased by 30%."

"Chairman, the person named Xu is so rich, and we want this, aren't we giving him too much advantage?" Zhu Linan said.

"The nights are long and the dreams are many. And if the price is too high and the negotiations become protracted, if Xu Liang becomes impatient and continues to hold Lenovo's shares, we will lose a lot for a small gain."

After Yang Qing nodded, "Chairman, during the negotiation, we should first sign an agreement with Hanhua prohibiting the acquisition of Lenovo's equity during the negotiation."

Liu Chuanzhi thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Xu Liang will not agree. After all, he has the advantage now."

In the face of powerful capital, any small move seems so ridiculous.

"Try to sign the contract as soon as possible. When we have money in hand, we can also strengthen our control over Lenovo." Liu Chuanzhi emphasized.

"clear."

——

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Liang heard the bustling chatter and laughter inside.

"Sir is back."

Xu Liang nodded, "Aunt Wang, who is here?"

"Don't you know, sir? Miss Qiao is here. She arrived at about three o'clock in the afternoon and brought a lot of things. Miss Qiao is beautiful and a nice person. Mr. Xu is really lucky."

Xu Liang understood that he was only focused on negotiating with Liu Chuanzhi and had forgotten that Qiao Yuhui would come over in the afternoon.

Take a step to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his parents, Qiao Yuhui and his younger sister Xu Meng talking in the living room.

Hearing the footsteps, everyone looked over.

"Liangzi, you're back. Take a look, how about the clothes Jade picked out for me?"

The old woman was wearing a milky white floral T-shirt and a dark blue skirt, making her instantly look much younger.

"Very beautiful, very elegant."

"Really? I think it looks good too, but would it be inappropriate for an old woman like me to wear this?" Wang Lingxiang said.

"Auntie, you are not old at all, so this is just the right thing to wear." Qiao Yuhui persuaded with a smile.

Xu Meng took a bite of the apple and said while chewing, "Mom, with your son's current status, no one will say that you are an old cucumber painted green. Don't worry."

Wang Lingxiang was furious when she heard this, "You damn girl, my love for you has been in vain."

As she spoke, she stepped forward to show her great motherly love.

"Sister Yuhui, help me."

Xu Meng knows very well who can protect him now.

In order to leave a good impression on her future daughter-in-law, Wang Lingxiang retracted her arm and glared at the smelly girl.

The meaning is clear.

I'll deal with you later.

"Liangzi, have you had dinner?" Xu Yongpei asked.

"Have eaten, Dad, where are you?"

Xu Yongpei nodded and said, "Your mother cooked it herself."

"If I had known, I would have come back earlier and missed my mother's sumptuous dinner."

"You have eaten all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you still care about your mother's cooking?"

"I can't get enough of your craftsmanship in my lifetime." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"My son is better, unlike that stinky girl who always knows how to make me angry all day long."

Xu Meng stuck out his tongue and made a face.

Seeing this, Xu Liang couldn't help but shake his head. Originally, his sister was just lively and cute, but after coming to the capital for three years, she turned into an eccentric girl.

After playing around at home for a while, seeing that the time was getting late, Qiao Yuhui declined Wang Lingxiang's invitation to stay overnight and left.

Xu Liang once again acted as the driver.

"The guest rooms at home are all empty, you can definitely stay here." Xu Liang said.

"We're not married, how will my aunt think of me if I live in your house?" Qiao Yuhui couldn't help but ask.

"My mother is not as traditional as you think."

"You're not an aunt, how do you know?"

"I am her son, how could I not be clear about it?"

"Forget it, people's thoughts will continue to change with age and experience. You and your aunt have only been together for less than a month a year. How can you know what she thinks?"

Looking at the woman with resentment in her words, Xu Liang knew very well that she longed for him to give her a status.

But that happened to be the hardest thing for him to get out.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Xu Liang wisely changed the topic.
