The Situation of Merchant Killing

Chapter 5 Finding Opportunities
At night, the lights in Zhan Dao Capital's office were on, and Qian En and his analysts were looking for something to deal with Zhou Jinkun.

Mi Ming sat on the sofa in Long Mingyi's office, ate a Coke and a hamburger and said, "Zhou Jinkun, old bastard, do you think he earned less last time?"

Zhou Jinkun has been in the industry longer than Long Mingyi, and he became famous earlier.In the first three years of the new century, Zhou Jinkun was already worth tens of millions. At that time, Long Mingyi was still going to class eating bread and drinking cold water.

Zhou Jinkun is a senior, so how could he think highly of Long Mingyi, who in his eyes is a "bratty boy".

"Maybe. This old guy came back to take revenge." Long Ming took a sip of Coke, looked at the hamburger, and lost his appetite.He rounded up and threw the burger in the trash.

Last time Long Mingyi and Zhou Jinkun invested in Beiyun Express at the same time.Seeing that Beiyun Express was about to announce its results, Zhou Jinkun felt that the benefits were about to be cashed in, and he wanted to take advantage of them, so he ran away first.

Zhou Jinkun quietly delivered a lot of goods, followed by huge orders.This kind of running method usually makes "friend" Long Mingyi unable to escape.

As soon as Long Ming knew that Zhou Jinkun was such a person, everything was centered on his own interests.Zhou Jinkun shipped with a large order, and Long Ming bought another part as soon as he arrived.While throwing it, Zhou Jinkun observed Long Mingyi's movements, and found that instead of selling it, Long Mingyi was still buying it, and he was very suspicious.

Beiyun Express announced the acquisition two weeks later, acquiring the European freight giant Passenger.Long Mingyi made a fortune because of this, and Zhou Jinkun was so angry that he didn't eat for three days.

Why did Long Mingyi dare to hold it?Not because of inside information, but because he discovered a strange phenomenon.

Beiyun's top management secretly flew to Europe three times in a row, to three different places, and returned within two to three days.

But Beiyun has no business in Europe.

As for the three places that Beiyun executives fly to, there are no big companies, no scenic spots, and the only thing there is a logistics center for away games.Coincidentally, the executives from the away game also appeared.

Such intensive contacts suggest that a takeover may be imminent.

Long Mingyi increased Beiyun's position (referring to the amount of specific commodities, securities, currencies, etc. held or owned by individuals or entities.), waiting for harvest.

What Zhou Jinkun didn't know was that Zhan Dao Capital had also done more away games in the European market through channels, and made a lot of money.

"He's too narrow-minded." Mi Ming chewed and said inarticulately: "Could it be that he is a descendant of Zhou Lang?"

"Then it looks like I have to be angry with him three times?" Long Ming threw the pen on the table at Mi Ming.

"More than 1 pens. You just threw it away?" Mi Ming took the opportunity to put it into his arms.

"Boss." Qian En knocked on the door and came in.

"Good news?" Mi Ming asked.

"Yes." Qian En handed Long Mingyi the information, "Zhou Jinkun invested in Dumpling Emperor Catering."

"So?" Long Ming asked Qian En: "What's your idea? Are you planning to let me open another dumpling restaurant next door to Dumpling Emperor to compete?"

"Jiaohuang is going to make quick-frozen food." Qian En pointed to the information of several main dumplings of Jiaohuang. "His main dumplings cannot be frozen quickly, and the taste will go bad."

Looking into Qian En's eyes, Long Ming asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes. Because my mother thinks his dumplings are delicious, I once paid someone to get their dumplings and gave them to my mother as quick-frozen dumplings. I put them in the refrigerator for later cooking and eating. The result was the next day After reheating, the taste can’t be swallowed at all. Their food should be frozen to destroy the taste. This is why their family never sells raw dumplings, they are freshly wrapped and cooked. But now, they decided to make quick-frozen dumplings. How did they pass the product? What about the research? Didn’t you try it?”

"Are you sure?" Long Mingyi asked, "Isn't it because there was a problem with the package one time?"

"Certainly not. Because then I tried again."

As soon as Long Ming stood up, he walked back and forth, nodding continuously.Then Long Ming stood still, stretched out his index finger and shook, "They should have added other ingredients or reduced something so that their dumplings can be kept cold, but the taste may not be guaranteed. Once we announce the quick-frozen dumplings and The ingredients of the freshly made dumplings are different. People who are used to their dumplings will think that the quick-frozen ones are much different from the ones in the store. They are completely two kinds of dumplings. If additives are added, it will be even more deadly. Quick. The market is going to react badly to this and their share prices will drop."

"Wow. It's really a good job." Mi Ming gloated.

"Their product line has already started production and is expected to be available in March and April. They will produce a lot of quick-frozen dumplings."

"Let's have a midnight snack and eat dumplings." Long Ming was happy, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Qian En's researcher bought back the four main dumplings of Dumpling Emperor, "Shall we eat now?"

"Put part of it in the refrigerator and let's try it in an hour," Long Mingyi said.

The four people in Zhan Dao Capital started to act. Qian En and the trader were looking for what was in the stuffing of Dumpling Emperor dumplings. They broke several dumplings.

Mi Ming ran over and opened the door of Long Mingyi's office, "Boss, I got the ingredient list of Dumpling Emperor's quick-frozen dumplings, and this thing will be printed on the packaging. I also have sharp moments."

"very good."

As soon as Long Ming walked to the door of the office, Mi Ming opened the door and asked him to come out first.Long Mingyi and Mi Ming came to Qian En, "How is your research?"

"The ingredients are pretty good." Qian En shrugged. He is not a gourmet, so he didn't know how to analyze it.

"Take the dumplings." As soon as Long Ming knew, he had to find a professional chef for such a thing.

Mi Ming drove and picked up Long Mingyi, and the two came to the alley behind Tianyue Hotel.

The head chef of Tianyue Hotel came out from the back and came to the back seat of Mi Ming's car to finish cooking.

"Mr. Long, Mr. Mi, what's your order?" The head chef laughed, his face and cheeks were like two steamed buns.

"Please eat dumplings."

"Huh?" The head chef was puzzled.

Long Ming smiled a little badly...

An hour later, Mi Ming and Long Mingyi came back.

Qian En reported the situation to them: Three months ago, the founder of Dumpling Emperor passed away.The two sons fought fiercely and fought for power and profit. In the end, the second son won the support of shareholders. He also proposed to make quick-frozen food and takeaway.

"What's his background?" Mi Ming asked, "Why did he win?"

"He is a student of management, and the proposals he put forward are in line with the tastes of shareholders and can increase profits. His brother is in the catering business, and at the beginning he made dumplings with his father, which is still an old routine."

"My younger brother is in the position, it seems that Zhou Jinkun has put in a lot of effort." Mi Ming said.

Zhou Jinkun's investment is to make the stock price rise, make some money, or cash out.The eldest son is in the position, and he still focuses on catering, and will not increase profits quickly.

"Boss, how are you doing?" Qian En asked.

"Good news. Jiaohuang dumplings really can't be frozen for a very long time, because there is a kind of seafood added to its main three delicacies and seafood fillings. Once frozen, it will be fishy, ​​and it will affect the taste after eating. Without this seafood, The taste of the stuffing will be greatly reduced. The ingredients list of the quick-frozen dumplings does not include this seafood, and the taste will be worse, but it is edible, and the taste is not as delicious as the ones that are freshly wrapped and cooked in the store. To put it bluntly, they changed the recipe."

"It was explained by a famous chef." Mi Ming added.

Long Mingyi said: "Dumpling Emperor is the Coca-Cola in 85."

In 85, the Coca-Cola Company announced that the company would no longer produce the old Coca-Cola and switch to a new formula.But consumers don't buy it.Under intense pressure from consumers, Coca-Cola returned to the old formula four months later.New Coca-Cola failed, and the product was discontinued in July 4.

"Okay, everyone understands why the Dumpling Emperor can't make quick-frozen dumplings." Long Mingyi said: "Now this matter will become very interesting."

"Boss, as long as we announce it, Zhou Jinkun will definitely not have a good year. The production line bought by Dumpling Emperor in the early stage will be a pile of scrap iron."

"No, this matter is so interesting, we can earn more." Long Mingyi's smile was unpredictable.

"My smart boss, are you ready to open the first big order of the year?" Mi Ming smiled wickedly.

Qian En knew that when Long Mingyi smiled like this, it must have been an unforgettable investment experience.

"Son." Mi Ming said to the analyst, "You will have a super cool experience."

"I'm looking forward to it." The analyst flattered.

Regarding the matter of Emperor Dumpling, Long Ming was not in a hurry anymore.

Dumpling Emperor is an A-share listed company. With 120 chain stores, it has become a star enterprise in the catering industry.During the Spring Festival holiday, the market was closed and Zhandao Capital could not operate.Dumpling Emperor does not have securities lending, so it cannot be shorted.In the face of bad news, there is no direct operation method.

What will Long Mingyi do?Qian En and Mi Ming are actually looking forward to it.Long Mingyi's tactics are often unexpected.
