In a luxurious hotel nearby.

Wu Guangzheng and Xu Luo sit opposite each other.

He poured Xu Luo a glass of wine enthusiastically, "Since you are also from Columbia University, it would be more appropriate for me to call you Junior Brother. Junior Brother, let me buy you a drink."

"Thank you." Xu Luo picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

After the two exchanged polite words, Wu Guangzheng went straight to the point, "Junior Brother Xu, what do you think Niubijian will do?"

"You can give this to Senior Brother Wu for free." Xu Luo smiled, "It's late March now, and within a month, you two will have a showdown."

"Because you are encroaching step by step, Newbijian will definitely initiate negotiations, and the content of the negotiations is to require the shipping king to sell the Wharf stocks he holds in exchange for the properties owned by Hong Kong Land Company on Hong Kong Island."

"The reason for this proposal is that in the early 1970s, Henry Keswick of Jardine Matheson proposed to exchange the Connaught Building, where the headquarters of Jardine Matheson Group is located, for a ship of more than 200,000 tons owned by Global Shipping Group.

's supertanker."

Wu Guangzheng listened carefully, without interrupting or showing any disdain.

If you want to get the money, you must first suppress Wu Guangzheng.

Xu Luo doesn’t mind revealing more.

"The purpose of Niu Bijian's similar suggestion was to test the sincerity of the other party, and I guess the condition offered by the shipping king was to exchange the Golden Gate Building, Swire Building and Prince's Building on Hong Kong Island."

"After all, among these three commercial buildings, Swire Building and Prince's Building are the most valuable properties in Central District, and Prince's Building is also the headquarters of Global Shipping Group."

"But Jardine will definitely not give up this golden chicken that lays eggs. Their next move is to exchange it for the Golden Gate Tower on Hong Kong Island, the Star Plaza in Kowloon, and some residential properties in Mid-Levels."

"Both parties will naturally not be satisfied with this result, so this negotiation will definitely end on bad terms."

Although Wu Guangzheng’s face remains calm, there are already turmoil in his heart.

This is exactly the same as what he and the Ship King guessed.

The shipping king also believed that Newbijian would propose an exchange, and what the shipping king himself wanted were the three commercial buildings mentioned by Xu Luo.

If he hadn't met Xu Luo and had secret conversations with his father-in-law, Wu Guangzheng would have suspected that his plan had been leaked.

Wu Guangzheng was very panicked.

It feels like Xu Luo has figured out his plan. If this guy goes to Newbijian's side, although Newbijian may not listen to his advice, everything is possible.

So he asked again: "When do you think Newbijian will take action?"

"This news..." Xu Luo was silent for a moment, "One million Hong Kong dollars, if it's not accurate, I'll lend it to you."

When it comes to money, Wu Guangzheng appears in two extremes.

He is very stingy about himself.

When I was working at Chase Bank, I only bought myself three sets of clothes for commuting a year, and I only used paper towels by the handful.

But in business, I don’t care about everything.

Hearing Xu Luo ask for one million, he took out his checkbook directly from his pocket and wrote one million to Xu Luo.

If he can give this million Hong Kong dollars, he can also make this check void.

Xu Luo took it and took a look at it, it was a cashier's check from HSBC Bank.

A million indeed.

So there is no need to hide it anymore, now Wu Guangzheng must be convinced of his ability.

"They will take action in June." He smiled slightly, "The reason why we chose this time is because the shipping king is going to Europe to attend the Independent Tanker Owners Conference."

"But before that, Newbikin will ask the ship owner to inform him of his recent whereabouts at the annual meeting. According to the requirements, the ship owner must inform him."

"So, they will attack you at this time while the Ship King is away."

Wu Guangzheng was even more horrified.

Indeed, my father-in-law is going to Europe in June. If Newbillian really launches an attack at this time, it will definitely be carefully considered and carefully deployed.

No wonder this guy wants 100 million Hong Kong dollars for opening his mouth.

He picked up the cup to hide his shock, "This news is indeed worth one million Hong Kong dollars. If Newbill really launches an attack at this time, we can deal with it first."

"No, you can only be forced to deal with it." Xu Luo shook his head, "You have overlooked one point. What I am telling you now is the day when Niubijian took action, but you have no way to deal with it."

"The first point is that the shipping king must go to those meetings. This is a matter of integrity. The shipping king has been doing business for so many years, so it is impossible for the shipping king to pretend to be sick and not go."

"Secondly, if you allocate a large amount of funds now to deal with it, Shen Bi may agree, but you have forgotten one thing, the way to purchase additional land."

"They will definitely make additional purchases in the form of bonds and stocks. Only in this way is the safest. If their plan fails, they really want to buy 29% of Wharf, and there is no need to increase the number of Land shares in large quantities."

"The 10% interest rate on bonds payable is also lower than the current best interest rate. If it becomes difficult to repurchase the bonds, the worst possible outcome is that Wharf will sell some properties and use cash dividends to return to shareholders to repay the land purchases."

Wu Guangzheng thought carefully about it.

These few sentences are all meaningful and definitely not random talk.

The more the other party talked, the more frightened he became.

So he asked: "What if we take the initiative?"

"Are you willing to pay the consulting fee of 100 million Hong Kong dollars?" Xu Luo said with a smile, "After all, the matter has not happened yet. Just based on these few words, you believe me, which is not realistic."

"Similarly, the shipping king will not propose an acquisition so rashly, because you have not yet transferred your shares to Longfeng Company."

"Once you take the initiative, if the acquisition fails, the loss will not be Longfeng International Co., Ltd., but the foundation of the entire Bao family group will be shaken."

"That's all I have to say." Xu Luo picked up his wine glass, "Brother Wu, this news is already worth one million Hong Kong dollars. I'd like to propose a toast to you, please."

"Please." Wu Guangzheng picked up the wine glass, but it tasted like nothing.

Then we chatted again, but this guy refused to say anything more.

"Senior Brother Wu, I have already wasted a lot of your time. I'll take my leave first." Xu Luo stood up and clasped his fists, "If you want to ask me to be a trader, you can call me at any time."

Anyway, he has already earned one million Hong Kong dollars.

If Wu Guangzheng didn't invite him, he would have already made money.

But he doesn't plan to go to Newbikin, there is no benefit in eating both ends.

Newbikin will have to leave sooner or later, but he will stay here to develop.

Offending others ruins popularity.

"Okay, I'll give it to you." Wu Guangzheng didn't force him to stay.

Keep sending him out of the hotel.

……

On the way back, Xu Luo asked Lin Jianren to turn around and go to HSBC Bank to transfer the money to his account first.

Buy another 50 lots of Wharf shares. The current stock price is 67 yuan per share, 10 lots totaling 5,000 shares.

And use 1x leverage to go long.

Wharf's stock price is bound to rise. Although the battle between Ship King and Newbikin can only proceed step by step according to their plan, it is not appropriate to go too big.

But no matter who makes the move, the stock price will rise before they can decide the winner.

The one million Hong Kong dollars he just got from Wu Guangzheng, in addition to the money for buying stocks, plus the deposit, is equivalent to the fact that the money has not yet warmed up in his hands.

After doing this, he and Lin Jianren parted ways.

Next, he plans to do something else to make money.
