Lu Yuan waited for a long time, but seeing that Huo Shaoheng still didn't speak, he turned around and looked at him in surprise. "What's wrong? Why didn't you continue asking? "
Huo Shaoheng turned around and leaned his back against the kitchen counter. He said calmly, "If you don't want to tell me, what's the point of me asking?"
He actually didn't take the bait.
Lu Yuan looked at him approvingly. "You're getting more and more composed. You can even ignore my words."
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "You mean, you're very familiar with Old Madam Hong."
This time, Lu Yuan didn't keep him in suspense. He nodded and said, "It's not easy for Old Madam Hong either. A woman has to support such a big family business. If I can help, I'll help."
Huo Shaoheng had seen Lu Yuan's ruthlessness in doing business. Was he really "happy to help others"?
He was underestimating the ability of "capitalists" to suck blood.
Huo Shaoheng didn't comment, nor did he want to pay attention to these capital operations. He asked bluntly, "Then you guys are cutting off the Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund. Will they just stand by and wait for death to befall them? "
Lu Yuan turned on the electromagnetic stove and began to cook. He said, "You don't understand. In business, harmony makes money. No successful businessman will fight with others to the end for the sake of a gamble. "
Huo Shaoheng keenly sensed that Lu Yuan was talking about "successful businessmen". He smiled knowingly and said, "… So all businessmen who fight with others to the end for the sake of a gamble have failed?"
"Of course. When doing business, if it's just for the sake of a gamble, it's impossible to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own. Only by killing a thousand enemies and losing two thousand of your own can you vent your anger. "
"Over time, who have you seen doing business like this and still be able to continue? Naturally, they all went out of business. "
Lu Yuan's movements were very fast. A plate of green cabbage with mashed garlic was ready to be served.
"… Are you saying that because you think that the Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund won't interfere in the matter between you and the Hong Corporation?" Huo Shaoheng still wasn't sure of Lu Yuan's intentions.
Lu Yuan placed the soup pot on the electromagnetic stove and said disapprovingly, "Of course they will interfere."
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
"Are you saying that their business will definitely fail?"
"… You don't understand." Lu Yuan turned to look at him and said meaningfully, "I'm sure that they won't stand by and do nothing. They'll definitely interfere in the matters between our Lu Corporation and the Hong Corporation. This is based on their methods."
"Think about how they worked with the Hong Corporation previously. What methods did they use?"
Huo Shaoheng said in a low voice, "Their plan is to help the Hong Corporation get listed first, but in order to build momentum for the listing, they took the risk of infringing on other companies' intellectual property rights."
Lu Yuan nodded. "Then, after it goes public, this problem will definitely be exposed. When the time comes, the Hong Corporation's stock price will plummet. They'll buy it at a low price, then repackage it and sell it at a high price."
Huo Shaoheng's eyes flashed. "But Professor Lu and Nianzhi messed things up. The fact that the Hong Corporation infringed on the intellectual property rights of other companies was exposed in advance, and they failed to get listed."
"Yes, so they immediately changed their minds and directly let the private equity funds in the Pacific Rim take over the Hong Corporation at a low price."
"Our Lu Corporation stepped forward at this time. Not only did we solve the imminent crisis of the Hong Corporation, but we also gained the trust of Old Madam Hong and were able to take over the overseas listing business from her."
Lu Yuan smiled radiantly. The passage of time did not age him. Instead, it made him like a jar of old wine, making people unable to stop wanting to.
"But the Pacific Rim private equity funds that used underhanded methods …" Huo Shaoheng suddenly understood. "They won't let go. But are they doing it for a gamble, or for other reasons? "
Lu Yuan gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up in appreciation. "That's the right way to think. With their qualifications and abilities, under normal circumstances, they wouldn't continue to tangle with the Hong Corporation. "
"But if they still want to continue to fight with us, then it's definitely not for a gamble, nor is it for business. They have other reasons."
Huo Shaoheng then talked about the Narita Yamaguchi incident.
"… Your guess is very reasonable. I just received news from Japan that the Pacific Rim private equity funds are behind Narita Yamaguchi."
Although Lu Yuan was mentally prepared, he was still surprised to hear that the Pacific Rim private equity funds were behind Narita Yamaguchi.
He stared at it and thought for a long time before saying, "It seems like their target has already shifted to Nianzhi."
"Wasn't it for Nianzhi from the beginning?" Huo Shaoheng was always used to thinking too much about things related to Gu Nianzhi.
"I don't think so," Lu Yuan said simply. "Think about when we came back? And this Carlyle Corporation started contacting the Hong Corporation more than a year ago and gave Guo Huining a rotten idea. "
Huo Shaoheng frowned, still feeling that there was a problem. "… Even if we've been back for less than two months, Nianzhi didn't leave more than a year ago …"
Lu Yuan had been absent from this world for 18 years, so Huo Shaoheng naturally knew about Gu Nianzhi's situation from the age of 12 to 19.
Now that he heard Huo Shaoheng's words, he felt that it made sense.
"That's true. At that time, Nianzhi was still here. If they started making arrangements at that time, was it really for Nianzhi? "Lu Yuan thought about the problem from a business perspective." But why did they choose the Hong Corporation? The only person in the Hong Corporation who has interacted with you is Hong Ziqi, the young master with mediocre abilities. "
"They don't really think that making a move against the Hong Corporation will implicate Nianzhi, do they?"
"You're not familiar with Hong Ziqi, so Nianzhi's relationship with them is even more distant."
"So that doesn't make sense."
Huo Shaoheng also felt that it was a little far-fetched to think so.
"Yes, if their target was Nianzhi, why would they choose the Hong Corporation instead of other organizations or people?"
As he muttered to himself, Lu Yuan took the opportunity to ask him to help him cook.
Huo Shaoheng was thinking about something else, so he subconsciously followed Lu Yuan's instructions.
When Lu Jin was so hungry that he came to the kitchen to look for something to eat, he said, "Huh? Boss Lu, are you slacking off? Why is Shaoheng cooking? "
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the spatula in his hand and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Lu Yuan held a cup of tea and said with a smile, "I'm tired. I'll rest for a while. Shaoheng respects the old and loves the young. He's a good example for us. "
Lu Jin scoffed and pointed at Lu Yuan. He ordered directly. "You're the one who's lazy. It's getting colder today. I want to eat steamed eggs with oysters, stewed lamb ribs with radish, and sea cucumber porridge. Nianzhi can eat these dishes too. It's best to nourish her in winter. "
Huo Shaoheng came back to his senses when he heard Lu Jin's words. He wanted to put down the spatula immediately, but when he heard Lu Jin order, he remembered that Gu Nianzhi had been busy with work recently and was under a lot of pressure. It seemed like he needed to make up for it …
After dinner, Huo Shaoheng looked at his watch. It was already past seven o 'clock.
Lu Jin and Lu Yuan were sitting at the dining table and had already started drinking red wine.
Huo Shaoheng picked up the car keys. "I'll go pick up Nianzhi."
He didn't call because he wanted to surprise Gu Nianzhi.
Actually, Gu Nianzhi also had bodyguards by her side. Other than the high-ranking officials of the Senate, who had security personnel assigned according to their rank, there was also Huo Shaoheng's side. According to her rank as Huo Shaoheng's wife, she also had the highest level of security.
Gu Nianzhi had just finished a meeting with her team's staff and finalized the procedural issues of suing the news agency where Narita Yamaguchi worked.
"Everyone, you've worked hard. This matter has come to an end. Everyone doesn't have to work overtime for now. You can all go back. "Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded at everyone." I'll apply for a level one overtime pay for everyone later. "
The overtime pay of their staff in the Senate had to be approved by the Senate.
"Thank you, Chief Gu!" When they heard that there was a level one overtime pay, everyone immediately felt that the hard work was worth it.
Gu Nianzhi returned to her office. There was still one last bit of work to be done.
Rong Mingxing came over and knocked on the door. She smiled and said, "Chief Gu, shall we go together?"
"Sure." Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded. "I'll drive. Where's your car?"
"I'll drive too. I'll go downstairs with you." Rong Mingxing was very understanding and deliberately waited to go downstairs with Gu Nianzhi.
Although there wouldn't be any danger in the Senate building, they were still very cautious and wouldn't leave only one person on the floor of the building.
Gu Nianzhi also understood her good intentions. The two of them had gotten to know each other through a fight.
She quickly finished her work and looked at the time. It was just past seven o 'clock.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the elevator together and went downstairs.
When they came out of the Senate building, the cold air hit them in the face.
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and exhaled a mouthful of white frost.
The dark blue and quiet night sky presented a semi-solidified sapphire color. The sky was full of stars, and it was rare for good weather.
Her and Rong Mingxing's car wasn't parked in the underground parking lot. Instead, it was parked in the open-air parking lot not far from the Senate building.
The two of them planned to walk directly over and treat it as a stroll.
At that moment, the door of a car parked on the nearby road suddenly opened. Guo Huining got out of the car first, then opened the back door and respectfully helped grandfather Huo out of the back seat.
"Miss Gu, your future grandfather is here to see you." Guo Huining raised her voice to stop Gu Nianzhi. She was in a very good mood.
