Chapter 95 A Foolish, Rich Fool
Huang Fengwen blinked hard, feeling his CPU was a bit overloaded.
How did that 5% stake end up in our company?
Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck his mind!
"Wait! Su Hao!"
You told me last time that you spent two billion through off-exchange transactions...
Holy crap! No way... could this be what I bought?!
Huang Fengwen's voice trembled slightly.
Generally speaking, when a company makes such a large investment of over 100 million yuan:
Those all have to go through layers of approval, with risk control, legal, and finance departments reviewing them eight hundred times and repeatedly verifying them to ensure the correctness of investment decisions and the controllability of risks.
Finally, it was he, as the Director, who signed off on the decision.
However, the top-tier investment department led by Su Hao is like a bug in the system, completely lacking these cumbersome intermediate procedures.
As long as Su Hao is certain, he can invest however he wants and however much he wants, which is completely "acting first and reporting later, with imperial permission"!
This kind of power is probably unique in the entire domestic financial sector!
Therefore, Huang Fengwen only ever listened to a general report about Su Hao's investments and never asked many questions about the details.
Because he's afraid!
The more I know, the less confident I feel, and the more easily I get alarmed by those astronomical figures and potential huge risks.
Or they might give irresistible, misguided instructions, which would ruin Su Hao's genius performance.
But he never dreamed that Su Hao would secretly seize the "Imperial Seal of the State" that would determine the next leader of Changqing Group.
Huang Fengwen felt his mouth was dry and grabbed the water glass on the table, taking a big gulp. His heart was pounding like a drum.
Could it be... could it be that all of this was a shocking scheme orchestrated by that kid Su Hao?!
First, they accurately predicted that the " Dieselgate scandal" would severely damage Zhongda, and then accelerated the collapse of its stock price through Vulture Funds;
This then forced Jinkun Holdings to sell off its key shares at a loss, leaving it unable to cope with its own situation.
Finally, on the eve of the grand drama of the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" at Changqing Group, they accurately bought at the bottom and quietly acquired these shares!
Quietly waiting for the right opportunity, they eventually became a "decisive force" that no one could ignore in this power struggle within the wealthy family!
"Phew—" Huang Fengwen let out a long breath, patted his chest, and said with lingering fear:
"Now you understand why I decided from the beginning that I wouldn't ask you any questions about what you should invest in!"
This is fucking...this is way too exciting! My old heart can't take this!
No wonder!
No wonder all sorts of high-ranking officials and scoundrels have been scrambling to see him lately.
Not only did the two groups from Changqing Group rush to his door, but other domestic and foreign financial institutions, having caught wind of his activities, also desperately tried to connect with him.
They're all after this piece of Tang Monk's flesh!
" Su Hao, can this 5% stake really play a decisive role?" Huang Fengwen asked, still somewhat unsure.
"So far, yes." Su Hao nodded.
"Of course, if we ask for an exorbitant price, that's outrageous."
Both sides will likely choose to relinquish our share and seek other solutions.
After all, wouldn't it be foolish to empty their savings just to eat our 5%?
Huang Fengwen knew that in the financial market, the highest premium ever paid for a sale in a battle for control of shares, calculated at the open market price, was 50%.
"So... what do you plan to do?" Huang Fengwen's eyes were full of anticipation.
"What do we do?" Su Hao smiled.
" Chairman Huang, I bought these shares, so the initiative in the transaction is naturally in my hands, right?"
Please decline all those random meeting invitations for me.
Let the dust settle a bit more, and let them raise the price themselves.
This card game was so extraordinary that Huang Fengwen dared not intervene lightly.
His only curiosity right now is—
'What kind of outrageous price is this kid trying to get for selling those 5% of the shares?'
***
The power struggle within Changqing Group is in full swing, with one dramatic twist after another, keeping onlookers thoroughly entertained.
Strangely, Fang Huan Investment, which holds key "third-party" equity, has yet to receive a formal offer from any party.
Su Hao even wondered if he had misjudged the situation and that the other party hadn't even been interested in the 5% stake.
However, it turned out that he was overthinking it.
The two groups at Changqing Group weren't gods either. Faced with their own chaotic shareholding structure, they probably spent several days sifting through it before suddenly realizing:
—Damn, there's still a 5% free float held by a mainland private equity firm!
And that 5% stake they hold is actually the key to deciding the outcome of this war!
"However... if you don't handle the timing of 'waiting for the best price' well, you can easily mess things up..."
Su Hao stroked his chin, secretly making plans.
Asking for an exorbitant price, then negotiating on the spot—that's the art of negotiation.
However, if you ask for too much and push the other party too far, they would rather choose a lose-lose situation or simply join forces to kick you, the speculator, out of the game than let you, the third party, reap the benefits for nothing.
Throughout history, there have been numerous cases of people who, driven by insatiable greed, tried to swallow an elephant only to be taken down by a conspirator, ultimately losing everything and suffering heavy losses.
Therefore, finding a "golden ratio" that is acceptable to both parties and maximizes their own interests is what Su Hao needs to do now.
Even if you manage to buy this key share at the perfect time, you still need to be able to sell it at a high price to turn the paper profit into real profit in your pocket. That's the true way to secure your gains!
"...30% premium?"
Su Hao picked up a pen and tentatively wrote down a number on a blank sheet of paper.
I don't feel anything.
That familiar, comforting "ding" alert sound didn't ring in his mind.
40%?
The situation remained calm and uneventful.
Damn it, am I being too conservative?
Su Hao decided to go all out and began adding more and more details to the paper.
50%... 70%... 90%...
"Damn, there's no response?"
Could it be that these big shots just like excitement?
"Let's go for it! I'm going all in today!"
Anyway, right now he's the only one "thinking" about prices, just scribbling on paper, writing down whatever he wants, and it's not illegal!
So he took a deep breath, and the tip of his pen danced wildly on the white paper again, the numbers on the paper rising rapidly like they were on a rocket.
100! 150! 200!
"...!"
Sudden!
Just as a specific number flowed from his pen and was clearly imprinted on the white paper, his hand holding the pen suddenly paused!
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable tingling and trembling sensation, like an electric current, rose from his tailbone and flowed throughout his body!
In the darkness, it seemed as if I heard the gears of fate click into place!
That's the price!
This is the rightful owner of those 5% of the shares!
Su Hao stared incredulously at the number on the paper, gasping in shock.
"400%?!"
A mere 5% stake, and they're asking for a 4x premium, a total price of 10 billion?!
Are they treating the Shen family like fools with too much money?
