312: Chapter 291: The Trade 312: Chapter 291: The Trade “I’ll send you ten million later, just lend it to him and that’s fine,” Liu Hun patted the skinny monkey’s shoulder and left after finishing his sentence. The combined offer of one hundred million plus a five percent shareholding was completely unacceptable to Liu Hun, and he had no intention of accepting it. After leaving the nightclub, Liu Hun drove to another place; he had a plan, and the only person who could help him accomplish this plan was himself. He parked outside a villa and knocked on the door after getting out of the car. “Liu Executive has arrived, please come in,” Cui Chengpeng welcomed Liu Hun into the house with great grace. After sitting down, they didn’t beat around the bush with riddles. After pouring Liu Hun some tea, Cui Chengpeng asked, “What brings Executive Liu here this time?” Liu Hun said with a smile, “I met with Xie Huan, and he wants to make a deal with me.” “What deal?” Cui Chengpeng’s expression was very calm as he asked Liu Hun, apparently not surprised at all. Sure enough, this was an old hand, weathered in the business world. Considering he had sent me to find Xie Huan, he must have anticipated this turn of events. So, Liu Hun laid out the deal he was offered by Xie Huan. Cui Chengpeng took a sip of tea and asked Liu Hun, “What plans does Executive Liu have?” “I don’t intend to accept Xie Huan’s deal,” Liu Hun said outright. Cui Chengpeng smiled and asked, “I’d like to hear what Executive Liu plans to do.” “The news that Hu Group is going to acquire shares of Green Power Pharmaceutical will be released by me ahead of time,” Liu Hun also said with a smile to Cui Chengpeng. All of a sudden, Cui Chengpeng’s face changed. Liu Hun’s move was actually helping Xie Dan’s group. After thinking for a while and seeming to understand Liu Hun’s plan, yet not completely, he asked, “Could Executive Liu explain your strategy?” “First, it’s not possible for me to trade at such a high price. So I’ll release this news, which will then devalue what Xie Huan holds greatly. Additionally, with him being pressured by gambling debts, as a gambler, he can only accept my price,” Liu Hun told Cui Chengpeng and then extended a finger to continue, “Second, in order to deal with Gongsun Jing after acquiring the shares from Fei Chen, I must lay out the groundwork in advance. Once this news spreads, the share price of Green Power Pharmaceutical will inevitably soar, and if Gongsun Jing wants to take the lead in the secondary market, I doubt she has the financial strength.” Cui Chengpeng had considered the first step, but the second step was beyond his anticipation. He couldn’t help but admire that the student had surpassed the master. He suddenly frowned and asked, “If you release this news, it might be traced back to you. Then... you might face criticism within the board of directors, and even your position as an executive director may not be secure.” “Third, after obtaining the recording tape from Xie Huan’s hands, who can say it was me, Liu Hun? By then, it will be Xie Dan who’s kicked out of the board,” Liu Hun said to Cui Chengpeng with a grin, as if he were doing something completely harmless. “Bravo! Well done!” Cui Chengpeng couldn’t help but applaud Liu Hun, having never anticipated Liu Hun’s calculations to be so sharp. The older and the younger, back and forth, had already effortlessly packaged Hu’s consortium into their bag with casual conversation. “So, this time I came to Director Cui hoping that Director Cui could help by introducing some friends in the media to release this news,” Liu Hun said to Cui Chengpeng, revealing his main purpose for coming here. As the saying goes, the right tool is essential for the job, you need a knife in your hand to eat meat, or else you’ll eventually break your teeth trying to gnaw with just your teeth. “Hahaha...” Cui Chengpeng suddenly laughed and then continued, “Pushing into the media world is the next move I prepared for you, and I didn’t expect to start playing it now. It’s also a good thing; the founder of Da Zheng Media Group, Luo Yiren, is slightly familiar with me. You can leave this matter to me. After we complete this move, we’ll slowly plan our chess game in the media world. It’s a fascinating world out there, hahaha...” After discussing the important matters, Cui Chengpeng escorted Liu Hun to the door. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said to Liu Hun, “In the future, you’ll need to engage a lot with the securities market. Here’s an excellent trader, and I hope he can be of help to you.” Cui Chengpeng then handed Liu Hun a business card that read, “Ning Qiaohan, analyst at Guangyuan Securities,” and of course, with a fax and telephone number listed. Not someone to do things halfway, the next day, under the flag of Da Zheng Media, Financial Weekly fired the first shot, revealing Hu Group’s impending large-scale acquisition of Green Power Pharmaceutical shares in the secondary market. Following this, all financial media and online networks rapidly followed suit, and the news spread everywhere in no time. And just as Liu Hun wished, the share price of Green Power Pharmaceutical surged like it was boosted by adrenaline, skyrocketing by twenty percent within one minute of the news release. With various news flying out and speculative capital streaming in, the share price of Green Power Pharmaceutical doubled by the close of trading that day. “Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!” Gongsun Jing’s phone on the desk was about to explode, with every media outlet trying to confirm the news. However, she didn’t want to take a single call, eventually slamming the phone onto the floor. “Wow wow wow, what’s got you throwing such a big tantrum?” The naked Hongsheng leaped in from the window and plopped down on the sofa, with red wine and cigars ready to go as if he were at home. “Damn Liu Hun! Not a shred of reliability!” Gongsun Jing furiously slammed the table, her delicate features instantly replaced by a commanding rage, “The news about Hu Group’s acquisition of our shares in the secondary market has been leaked.” Red Spider picked up the newspaper beside her, which was so massive it could serve as a table. She placed it on top and began to flip through, then said, “Isn’t this a good thing? The higher the stock price, the higher our worth.” Unexpectedly, Gongsun Jing shook her head and replied, “First of all, I have no intention of selling my shares, so no matter how high, I can’t cash out. Secondly, I plan to continue purchasing shares to completely squeeze Fei Chen and Fang Xiong out of the board. Only then can we truly take control of Green Power Pharmaceutical.” “What do we do now?” Red Spider was completely clueless about these troublesome matters. Gongsun Jing waved her hands dismissively and said, “Since Liu Hun wants to meddle in Green Power Pharmaceutical, he has to figure out a way himself. If he can’t even handle this, then there’s no point discussing any cooperation.” After finishing, Gongsun Jing’s frustration had subsided considerably. She turned to Red Spider and asked, “Is there any news from Dai Mei?” Red Spider curled her lip in a disdainful manner and said, “What could they possibly accomplish? They’re just holed up in some shabby law firm all day. Don’t count on them.” “Let’s just get through this first,” Gongsun Jing crossed her hands, silently pondering what Liu Hun was really up to. This news had also reached Fei Chen’s ears. However, he was single-mindedly focused on money laundering; the bigger the other news about Green Power Pharmaceutical, the better to cover up his actions. As the two protagonists of this affair, Green Power Group chose to evade, while Hu Group jumped out at the first opportunity. Naturally, it wasn’t Hu Qingdie who emerged, but her stepmother, Xie Dan. Upon hearing the news, Xie Dan was overjoyed. She slept with Lin Hongsheng first, and then she immediately called a press conference in her capacity as vice chairman of Hu Group. “Click, click, click...” In the lobby of Imperial City International Hotel, almost every notable financial media outlet had gathered, cameras flashing furiously at Xie Dan on the stage. “Vice Chairman Xie, is it true that Hu Group plans to purchase shares of Green Power Pharmaceutical in the secondary market?” “Vice Chairman Xie, who was it that leaked this information to the media? Are you investigating this matter privately?” “Vice Chairman Xie, it’s said that there has long been factional strife within Hu Group. What are your thoughts on that?” “...” Xie Dan smiled at the journalists, gestured for silence, and then said, “First, I’d like to thank the friends from the media for attending. Next, I will answer only one question, and that is...” All the journalists craned their necks in anticipation, even forgetting to continue snapping photos. “Hu Group’s purchase of Green Power Pharmaceutical shares in the secondary market is not true! Thank you all!” Xie Dan concluded, feigned a gracious nod, and then turned to leave the press conference. The media reporters swarmed after her but all came up empty-handed. Green Power Pharmaceutical’s stock price plummeted in response, not only wiping out the previous surge but the price fell by a further quarter. Gongsun Jing didn’t understand what Liu Hun was really up to, and Fei Chen didn’t care about Liu Hun’s actions. An hour later, at Hu Group’s emergency board meeting, all the directors were present. “This is a very serious incident! How much effort has the group put in? How many preparations have we made? Why did such a thing happen at this critical moment!” Lin Hongsheng immediately got fired up, looking very much the leader. “This matter has caused extremely adverse effects on the group! I demand accountability! We must take this seriously!” Lin Hongsheng continued to slam the table, his sparse hair almost standing on end in agitation. Liu Hun asked calmly, “How does Director Lin plan to hold people accountable?” Lin Hongsheng glanced at Liu Hun before saying, “Since Executive Director Liu asked, I will speak frankly! Only the directors here knew of this proposal, so the problem must lie within the board. We need to find out who it was! They must be expelled from the board and have their shares restricted!” “Are you sure?” Liu Hun cocked his head and asked Lin Hongsheng. “Bang!” Lin Hongsheng slammed his hand on the table and said, “Executive Director Liu! What kind of attitude is that? This is no joke; we must investigate this seriously!” Liu Hun nodded, then addressed the entire board, “In that case, directors who agree with Director Lin’s proposal, please raise your hand.” With that, he was the first to raise his hand. Liu Hun’s actions baffled Hu Qingdie; why was he playing along with Lin Hongsheng? She didn’t know what game Liu Hun was playing behind the scenes, but despite some hesitation, she still supported him.
