Gu Nianzhi was extremely surprised and quickly asked, "Dad, how did you know the amount of compensation the other company wanted?"
"I've been following this matter." Lu Jin smiled happily. "If they dare to fake it, they will have to bear the consequences."
Lu Yuan also shook his head. "The Hong Corporation has dug a hole for itself. They still want to go public in this situation … Do they really think those big shots in the stock and financial market are idiots? "
"By recklessly barging into the overseas stock market like this, they're treating themselves like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless for a while, then said, "… That's true. With such a big loophole here, it's like a time bomb. Sooner or later, it will be detonated. "
Lu Jin had accidentally discovered it, but he had brought the process forward.
Only the heavens knew whether it would be a blessing or a curse for the Hong Corporation.
"Unfortunately, I don't have the money. If the Hong Corporation was a listed company, I would have gone to the stock market right now." Lu Jin was very regretful.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it carefully for a while and felt that it had nothing to do with her. She shrugged nonchalantly. "Then let's continue watching. Dad, what trick are you going to do tomorrow? Can you spoil it in advance? "
"No." Lu Jin refused and winked at her. "Because it depends on how others perform."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
..
The next morning, the core members of the Hong family gathered at the Hong family's mansion to have breakfast with Old Madam Hong.
Today was the last day of the out-of-court settlement. They had to make a decision on whether to accept the compensation offered by the other party.
Breakfast was eaten in complete silence. Everyone's mood was heavy.
After breakfast, they went to the court location agreed upon with the other party's company for the last out-of-court settlement negotiation.
The other party's company had been beaten back by the Hong Corporation for the past year, and they had long hated them.
Now that they found out that the Hong Corporation was taking advantage of them and using the patents they had bought at a high price to build their own cars, they were definitely going to beat them to death.
The Hong Corporation knew that they were in the wrong, so they chose to settle out of court.
An old man sitting next to Old Madam Hong sighed and said, "In the past, I thought that problems that could be solved with money weren't problems."
"Now I know that it was just because the other party didn't ask for much money …"
Old Madam Hong didn't say anything, but she was thinking of a solution.
She had been in business for so many years, what had she not seen?
However, this was the first time he had seen something of this scale.
As time passed, more and more people came in. Other than the reporters, there were also quite a number of onlookers.
Although the court limited the number of people, the entire room was filled in the end.
However, the executives and major shareholders of the "raft" company had yet to arrive.
When Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin went out in the morning, Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan pulled them to do something to their faces to change their appearances.
It was only now that he could sit comfortably in the spectator seats and look at the core members of the Hong Family not far away with interest.
In the middle, an old lady with a head full of silver hair, but a resolute expression, and a straight back, attracted her attention.
"… Dad, is that Old Madame Hong?"
Lu Jin nodded. "The old lady is in good health and in good spirits. It's just that she's old and hasn't chosen a suitable successor."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She curled her lips and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect this old lady to be so soft-hearted. She actually let Guo Huining go."
Lu Jin smiled and patted Gu Nianzhi's head. "Don't worry, let's continue watching."
Not long after, the door to the courtroom opened again. Guo Huining, wearing a professional black suit and carrying an LV briefcase, walked up to the Hong family with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, everyone. I'm Guo Huining. Everyone knows me, so I won't introduce myself."
Hong Ziqi's mother was furious when she saw her. She stood up and pointed at her. "Guo Huining! You still have the face to come in?! We haven't settled the score with you yet! "
"It's all your fault! That's why we're in such a predicament! "
"How can you blame me?" Guo Huining tucked her hair, which she had just spent a lot of money on, behind her ear. "If you want to blame someone, blame the person who wrote the open letter. If he hadn't exposed this matter, how would the other company have known? "
"If it weren't for him, your Hong Corporation would have gone public by now, and you would all be lying at home counting your money."
Gu Nianzhi had been paying attention to the movements of the members of the Hong Family. When she saw Guo Huining walk over and heard her giggling as she talked to the members of the Hong Family and pushed all the blame to the person who wrote the open letter, Gu Nianzhi was furious.
She wasn't sitting far from the Hong family members, so she said loudly, "Tsk, how interesting. You're a thief, but instead of reflecting on yourself, you're blaming the person who reported you. If no one reported you, would you be able to continue being a thief with a clear conscience?! "
In order to save Gu Nianzhi's face, Lu Jin had only written a letter of complaint.
After that, the other company had seized on the loophole and pursued them relentlessly. What did it have to do with them?
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to forgive Guo Huining, and it had nothing to do with the Hong Corporation.
However, if the Hong family didn't reflect on themselves and find the real culprit, but blamed the person who reported them, it could only be said that they had brought this upon themselves.
Gu Nianzhi's last trace of sympathy disappeared.
Her words were extremely harsh and incisive.
There were indeed people in the Hong family who complained about the person who wrote the open letter, but when Gu Nianzhi said that, their faces turned red, and all their anger was transferred to Guo Huining.
If she hadn't faked it, how could they have been reported!
Guo Huining's face darkened slightly. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was an ordinary-looking woman, but she didn't care.
There were gossipers everywhere, so there was no need to pay attention to these small fry.
Therefore, Guo Huining only glared at her and looked at the materials in her hands. She didn't want to complicate matters.
She lowered her head and opened her briefcase. She placed a document in front of Old Madam Hong and said with a smile, "Old Madam, I respect you as the founder of the Hong Corporation. This is a share acquisition agreement. Please take a look. "
"As long as you sign here, you don't have to worry about the amount of the out-of-court settlement today or the deadline."
She said confidently. The Hong family members' faces were gloomy, as if they had lost their parents.
Guo Huining looked at these people's faces, and a sense of "revenge" rose in her heart.
Old Madam Hong looked down at the party on the share acquisition agreement: Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund. She suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She understood, this was a trap!
It was a trap through and through!
She raised her head and looked at the place where the "raft" of the other party's company was. It was still empty, not a single person was there.
Old Madam Hong's mind raced. Did this have anything to do with the "raft" company?
Or … was it related to the company that took on the listing business for them?
Guo Huining waited patiently. She wasn't in a hurry as she thought about what Dou Aiyan had said to her last night.
…
Last night, in a luxuriously decorated office in the Carlyle International Investments Huaxia branch headquarters, Dou Aiyan held a cup of coffee and sat behind her desk. She smiled and said, "… There's still no news from the Hong Corporation?"
Guo Huining shook her head uncomfortably. "No."
"Well, that's a pity. We originally planned to wait for the Hong Corporation to be listed overseas before revealing the battery problem. That way, we could make a profit by shorting the company, and then we could buy the Hong Corporation and resell it at a high price. "
"It's just that it was exposed in advance. Our gains are limited!" Dou Aiyan smiled regretfully.
Guo Huining raised her head abruptly and looked at Dou Aiyan in shock as if she didn't know her. Her mouth was wide open.
After a while, she said, "… This wasn't your idea, it was Yi Xinyan's idea, wasn't it?"
"Haha! Who cares whose idea it was?! It's none of your business! "
Dou Aiyan blinked at her. She didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either.
Guo Huining lowered her eyes and thought of the intelligent and beautiful chief stock analyst who always spoke slowly. She sighed softly in her heart.
She really wasn't as good as her …
With such ruthlessness and speed, it was no wonder that he was able to dominate the capital market at such a young age.
Dou Aiyan smiled and said, "Huining, it's like this. The Hong Corporation is almost like a street rat now. Not only has their sales plummeted, but the other party's company is demanding an exorbitant amount of compensation. "
"They're either waiting to be liquidated or waiting to be taken over by the court. They're in a very bad situation."
Guo Huining thought of Old Madam Hong's heartlessness and felt a sense of satisfaction. She said calmly, "What does it have to do with me? I have nothing to do with the Hong family anymore. "
"Good! You're able to let go of things, you're truly a role model! " Dou Aiyan praised. "Then are you willing to be our legal representative and go to court tomorrow to discuss the acquisition of the Hong Corporation?"
"Acquisition?!" Guo Huining was shocked. "You want to acquire the Hong Corporation?!"
"Haha, what's the rush? The Hong Corporation isn't yours … They've already kicked you out. " Dou Aiyan tossed out a contract. "Here, take a look. If you're willing, you'll be the chief legal advisor of our Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund tomorrow. Throw this contract in front of Old Madam Hong and you'll get your revenge!"
…
Guo Huining smiled as her gaze fell on the contract that allowed her to "get her revenge."
Old Madam Hong's face was already livid. She stood up with the support of her walking stick and gritted her teeth at the smug Guo Huining. "You want to acquire our company? In your dreams! "
Old Madam Hong's voice was neither loud nor soft. The people sitting in the distance might not be able to hear her, but Gu Nianzhi heard it clearly from her position.
Lu Jin had originally found a seat very close to the members of the Hong family to make Gu Nianzhi happy.
Now that Guo Huining had come in, he smiled so widely that his eyes couldn't be seen. He whispered to Gu Nianzhi, "… Look, the show's about to start."
"Guess which company wants to acquire the Hong Conglomerate?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at Guo Huining, then saw Dou Aiyan, who had walked in behind her. Her mind raced, and she suddenly realized, "This is a trap! It's a complete trap! "
