Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 531 How to Protect
Gu Weijun raised his eyebrows, but did not rush to refute or answer Zhang Yuliang's words.

He picked up the red wine in his hand, sniffed it, and chuckled, "The price of Romanee-Conti red wine is tens of thousands of dollars a bottle, and the expensive ones even cost more than 100,000 dollars."

"Mr. Zhang, do you think this bottle of red wine is really worth this much?"

Gu Weijun raised a finger and shook it left and right, "No!"

“It’s actually man-made!”

“This shows that people’s view of a thing is actually influenced by many factors.”

"For example, the Wheelock shares your family currently holds?"

"Did your family really suffer a loss?"

Gu Weijun raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of sneer, "No?"

"I am offering a purchase price of 120% of the market price to your family. Doesn't this show my sincerity?"

"Has your family ever thought about the fact that Wheelock has been losing money since 76 or 77? Has your family received a penny?"

"no!"

Zhang Yuliang's face flushed, "But Wealth Management has a lot of high-quality land!"

“The future value of these lands is clear!”

"If the value of these lands is taken into account, the share price of Wheelock's stock is far lower than his assets!"

"Look! This is the difference between how you and I look at things!" Gu Weijun took a sip of red wine, lit a cigar, and retorted slowly: "If what you said is true, then the Hutchison Whampoa that I just acquired also has a large number of high-quality assets."

“But how do you know whether this asset will appreciate or depreciate in the future?”

"Okay, even if this asset appreciates in value in the future!"

"Haha. Mr. Zhang, can your family still hold on into the future?"

"It's very common to fail halfway to success!"

Zhang Yuliang was speechless after being confronted by Gu Weijun. Even if he knew that real estate would make a lot of money in the future! The land owned by Wheelock was very valuable, but... were they supposed to have no income at all and instead subsidize it?
Zhang Yuliang seemed to have turned into a defeated rooster. He sat back on the sofa dejectedly, poured himself a full glass of red wine, and drank it all in one gulp!

After placing the wine glass heavily on the table, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Gu, you win!"

"Our Zhang family will transfer all of our Wheelock shares to you!"

"But I want 25% of the market price!"

"OK! No problem!" Gu Weijun smiled and stretched out his right hand. "Then I wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Pah!" The two palms slammed together, "Happy cooperation!"

"Haha! It seems like you two had a good chat!" Watching Gu Weijun and Zhang Yuliang walking out of the private box chatting and laughing.

Before he even got close, Li Bancheng smiled and congratulated them, "Congratulations to the two of you for reaching a cooperation agreement ahead of schedule!"

"Haha, we are happy together, we are happy together!"

Gu Weijun was low-key and modest, "It was all thanks to the support of all the business predecessors!"

"Haha, modest, modest, Mr. Gu. Then let's..."

"Mr. Li, please come this way!"

"Is everything done?"

On the way back in the car, Jiang Wanhua gently helped Gu Weijun take off his coat and unbuttoned his collar, "Come and have a drink of water."

"You reek of alcohol!"

"Don't get close to my son tonight!"

"Haha! You!" Gu Weijun laughed and teased Jiang Wanhua, "What? Just because you gave birth to two sons, you can kick the father away?"

"Yeah! We've got it all done for today!"

“Whether it’s Hutchison or Wheelock, the future is in our hands!”

"By the way, tell the people in the stock division to continue buying the stocks of these two companies from the market!"

“Our goal is to delist these two companies, integrate them, and then relist them!”

"Weijun, what do you mean?" "Well, whether it is Hutchison, Wheelock, or our own Tai Ping Construction, they all control a large amount of land assets."

"These assets will definitely be gradually liquidated in the future."

"But we have to integrate part of it, at least the part that is still losing money now."

“All of them were dumped into the newly established asset management companies.”

“After it’s relisted, we’ll harvest another wave of profits first.”

"Ok!"

"But what about Jardine Matheson? Didn't you always ask me to keep an eye on them? Now we have secretly transferred the shares of Wharf Holdings to Mr. Bao. This..."

Gu Weijun answered the question irrelevantly: "Constance and Catherine will be here soon, right?"

In a blink of an eye, it was June 80.

"Wei Jun, Yihe has started to move!"

The top floor of a towering penthouse in Central is entirely occupied by the chairman’s office.

Gu Weijun was looking at Victoria Harbour from the floor-to-ceiling window. The constant coming and going of yachts and ships made the port look exceptionally prosperous!

"No, it's the William Jardine family that's taking action!"

"By the way, their current leader is called James, right?"

"It seems to be called this name."

"Well, Constance, although the battlefield is in Hong Kong, if we want to completely swallow up Jardine Matheson, we have to rely on England!"

"That's right!" Constance stood next to Gu Weijun, "But as long as we take Hutchison Whampoa from Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong, our actions in England will be more advantageous!"

"Ok!"

"Wanhua, notify your subordinates to immediately buy a large number of Jardine Matheson properties!" Gu Weijun's eyes were cold, "I want to make sure that Jardine Matheson properties can't be taken care of at all costs!"

"Okay!" Jiang Wanhua immediately put the phone on speaker, "Bao Wenling, immediately instruct the people in the stock department to buy up Jardine Matheson Holdings' shares from the market!"

"Roger that!"

Jiang Wanhua gave the order and also walked to the French window. She and Constance stood on Gu Weijun's left and right. "Weijun, in order to completely take over Jardine Matheson, you even transferred Bao Wenling from the fund company back to Hong Kong."

“Isn’t this an overkill?”

Gu Weijun still looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled faintly, "Wanhua, don't forget the content of mobile warfare in Mao's Selected Works!"

"We must concentrate our superior forces during the campaign and inflict a heavy blow on the enemy!"

"When a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength!"

"Haha, you always talk so much about truths. If I don't study hard, I won't be able to keep up with you!"

"Ha ha!"

Compared with the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere on Gu Weijun's side, the senior executives of Jardine Matheson have gone crazy!
"Quick! Go check!"

"Go check it out right away!"

"Go check with HSBC!"

"Who is attacking us again? Why is the stock price of Hong Kong Land rising so fast?"

“Even if we proposed to exchange Hutchison Whampoa shares and bonds for Wharf Holdings shares, the price shouldn’t have risen so fast!”

The Jardine Matheson meeting room was suddenly noisy, especially James, the chairman of the board, whose face was gloomy and his brows were twisted into a knot!
"Found out!"

"It's a French-controlled clothing factory in Hong Kong!"

"There are French people behind them!"

"FUCK, damn French people, nothing good will happen when you meet them!"

"Quick, ask HSBC for help!"

“We need at least HK$20 billion to protect our land!”
