Chapter 1,485 Price Gouging
1485
Xu Taiping left the Li Group Building. Although he came here to disgust Li Jiangshan, in fact, Xu Taiping had sinister intentions. He successfully aroused Li Jiangshan's vigilance. When Li Jiangshan didn't have enough funds on hand, he was interested in acquiring the 3% shares of Li's consortium held by kbx company.
In the current economic crisis that Li Jiangshan is facing, once Li Jiangshan is interested in acquiring the 3% stake in kbx company, then... perhaps, the end of Li Jiangshan's family has really come.
If you eat more than your appetite can bear, the final result will be death.
Xu Taiping was very satisfied and called Liu Hao.
"We are willing to negotiate for any amount of money to make an open offer to KBX Company, asking them to sell 3% of their shares in the Li Group. We want many people to know our determination," Xu Taiping said.
"Boss, what... do you want to do?" Liu Hao asked curiously.
"I want kbx to raise its price on the ground, and I want Li Jiangshan to risk his life to eat up these three percent shares, so that Li's consortium can avoid falling into my control," Xu Taiping said.
"But... what if he really eats up these three percent shares? Then wouldn't your plan fail?" Liu Hao asked.
"If you want to succeed, you should learn to be flexible." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "I have many ideas. Turning the Li Group into my Xu Group is just one of my ideas. I have many others. I will tell you my thoughts slowly when I have a chance."
"Mr. Xu, I think you are more suitable for the position of CEO of our company. Really, in my opinion, many of your actions are fully qualified for the position of CEO." Liu Hao said.
"I have more important things to do!" Xu Taiping said with deep eyes and a deep tone.
"What's the matter?" Liu Hao asked curiously.
"Look at the door, Pao Niu." Xu Taiping said.
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Taiping felt very refreshed. In Jiangyuan City, Liu Hao quickly followed Xu Taiping's request and sent an application to kbx company to acquire 3% of the shares of the Li Group from him. This time Taiya Group did not hide the application, but sent it directly to the headquarters of kbx company, hoping that the whole world would know about it.
The headquarters of kbx company naturally rejected Taiya Group's application immediately. After that, Li Jiangshan quickly contacted the people at kbx company headquarters, hoping to acquire the Li Group from kbx company. Li Jiangshan does not require to acquire too many shares, only 2% is enough.
Kbx Company, which is a big company, naturally knows the importance of the three percent shares in its hands, so Kbx Company immediately raised the price. For the three percent shares that were originally worth four to five billion, Kbx Company directly raised the price. Ten billion.
This gave Li Jiangshan a headache all of a sudden.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Jiangshan organized a meeting among his subordinates.
"No matter what, I must get at least 2% of the shares!" Li Jiangshan said to his staff.
"But, Mr. Li, 10 billion is really too much. The other party is treating us like pigs butchering us!" One of Li Jiangshan's subordinates said with a frown.
"We only want 2% of the shares, 2%, no matter what, you have to negotiate with me!" Li Jiangshan said.
"However, even if you hold 2% of the shares, it would cost more than 6 billion. You don't have that much cash at your disposal right now," said an aide.
"How much is that? It's impossible for my dad to not have any cash reserves, right?" Li Jiangshan asked.
"Your father left you about 2 billion in liquidity. In addition, there are also properties across the country worth about 5 billion. These properties are not within the Li Group and are all managed by your father. All holdings, of course, now belong to you," the staff member said.
"My mother still has one billion on hand, and the working capital has reached three billion. Sell the five billion industry to me, sell it immediately, even if it is cheaper, sell it for 3.4 billion It doesn't matter, as long as I can get 2% of the shares of Li's consortium from kbx company, Xu Taiping will never be the largest shareholder of my Li's consortium!" Li Jiangshan said through gritted teeth.
"Mr. Li, we are in a shopping mall. Our enemies are not only Xu Taiping, but also the Pacific Group. If we want to operate such a large consortium, we must have reserve funds on hand, Mr. Li, and, If the property your father left to you is sold slowly, it can still be sold for more than 4 billion to 5 billion. If you sell it at a low price now, you will lose at least more than a billion!" the staff said excitedly.
"I don't care. The Li Consortium is the foundation of our family. I can't let the Li Consortium have any chance of being controlled by others. If it really can't be done, go and contact Lei Zhenhu. Lei Zhenhu still has the Li Consortium. For 4% of the shares, if you buy 2% from him, you go to him to talk, maybe he will sell it cheaper!" Li Jiangshan said.
Several of Li Jiangshan's staff looked at each other, and finally nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Xu Taiping had just finished visiting several retired senior officials from Jiangyuan City.
For Xu Taiping, he does not mix with officialdom, but it does not mean that he does not need to deal with these people. Such a large industry under his hands needs to be operated. If he does not have a good relationship with people in the officialdom, he will often get things done. It won't be so smooth, these are unspoken rules.
Those retired senior officials were also willing to meet Xu Taiping. After all, Xu Taiping was also from Jiangyuan City. Once this person left his birthplace, he paid special attention to the feelings of his fellow countrymen when he was away. As a talent from Jiangyuan City, Xu Taiping was considered very good. They represented Jiangyuan City to a large extent, so Xu Taiping's visit to these people went smoothly.
It was said to be a visit, but it was really just a visit. No gifts or money were given. Firstly, this kind of custom is no longer in the country. Secondly, people are now living well in retirement, so there is no need to give those annoying things. No more. For things like fame and fortune, everyone just interacts with each other based on their heart. In addition, Xu Taiping is a eloquent person. In one afternoon, Xu Taiping has several new friends. Although they may not be of any use in the future, at least Xu Taiping It can be considered as a few more friends.
After coming out of the old rest home, Xu Taiping received a call from Liu Hao.
"Has the Li Group made a move? Very good. If he wants to sell his things at a low price, let him sell them at a low price. There are many people who are willing to kill them. In addition, you can directly offer KBX Company 9 billion to acquire them. Three percent of the shares, in this case, one percent of the shares is worth three billion, and KBX will definitely negotiate with the people from the Li Group at the price we offer!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Understood, by the way, boss, according to the report of the informant I installed in the Li Group, it seems that the people under Li Jiangshan have also begun to contact Lei Zhenhu," Liu Hao said.
"Lei Zhenhu, I'll take care of it. Just remember, just drive up the prices." Xu Taiping said.
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Taiping called Lei Zhenhu.
"Hello, Mr. Lei!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"What a coincidence that you called me." Lei Zhenhu said on the other end of the phone.
"It's really fate. I just happened to visit some retired cadres from our Jiangyuan City, and I ended up chatting with you for some reason. Now that I came out of their place, I just wanted to give you a call. ." Xu Taiping said.
"You retired cadres from Jiangyuan City will talk about me? I am not from your Jiangyuan City!" Lei Zhenhu said.
"What you are saying is that you were a famous blue flag bearer in the south of the Yangtze River. Who doesn't know you?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"That's not true now. He's just a bad old man with some spare money. Unlike you, who was at the height of his power. I heard that you have infiltrated into Jiangbei?" Lei Zhenhu asked.
"How is this possible! I don't have any ambitions. I just want to stay in Jiangnan. Who slandered me?" Xu Taiping quickly defended.
"Anyone with any brains will never believe that you have no ambitions. First, you set up your plans in the foot basin country. Now the Qingshan Association in the foot basin country is in a mess of internal fighting and has no spare power to deal with the outside world. Then you sold weapons to the European region and took advantage of the situation to expand in Europe. At the same time, you also sent some people to Hong Kong City some time ago to mix with those who were left by Niulang in Hong Kong City. It seems that you intend to take action against Hongtai and Xingyi. Once these three places Your people have all gained a firm foothold. Then think about it, who else is your opponent in the entire Asia-Pacific region? If you use that arms dealer in Europe as a stepping stone, there is no guarantee that within ten years, you will lose your power. Now that you have expanded to Europe, do you think that with all your actions, you will give up that piece of fat in Jiangbei?" Lei Zhenhu said calmly.
"This is really all an accident, Mr. Lei!" Xu Taiping said helplessly, "Momonosuke is a good friend of mine over there in the Foot Basin Country. If the president of the Aoyama Society wants to attack their family, I can't just ignore it. ? Over in Europe, Xia Jiang was doing business exporting arms to Europe, and I just took over his business. As for Hongtai, people from Hongtai killed my brother, and now they plan to kill my brother’s If I don't send someone to help them, am I still a human being? Mr. Lei, I, Xu Taiping, really have no ambition at all!"
"Then...a big arms dealer in Southeast Asia was killed a few days ago. What happened?" Lei Zhenhu asked.
"I really don't know about this." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"You don't know? As soon as that arms dealer was killed, another arms dealer appeared immediately. And coincidentally, this arms dealer turned out to be a cadre under you. You said you didn't know about this?" Lei Zhenhu asked.
"Ah ha, Mr. Lei, these people have their own ambitions. The cadres under me have to find other jobs, and I have nothing to do, right?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Taiping, as someone who has been here, I want to say a few words to you. Walk step by step. Don't walk too fast, lest you step too fast and pull your crotch. That would be bad," Lei Zhenhu said.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Lei, I will keep your teachings in mind!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
