Chapter 11 5. Gu Weimin, as a veteran of the rivers and lakes, why did he commit a military taboo as soon as he made a move

Gu Weimin led the crowd into the garden, and everyone saw that the decoration was really magnificent.According to Gu Weimin, the dilapidated beams and columns were all replaced with high-quality wood from Southeast Asia.The garden rockery in the yard was specially shipped from Fujian.The furniture in the house is made of Vietnamese mahogany.In particular, the set of benches in the living room is Ming Dynasty furniture purchased at a large price, which reveals elegance and luxury in its simplicity and elegance. Du Linxiang can be regarded as someone who has seen big scenes, but seeing the decorations in the courtyard, he couldn't help but praise: "I visited Hu Xueyan's former residence in Hangzhou last year, and it's not much better than yours."

Gu Weimin said: "To tell you the truth, in order to do business to support the scene, I had to slap my face swollen to look fat. They are all gold and silver vulgar things, and they are not in the eyes of everyone." Du Linxiang was walking, but doubts arose in his heart. Gu Weimin took the initiative to contact him. After arriving in Beijing, he was picked up by a special car, and the group was invited into a private garden and treated as VIPs. If it was for selling shells, Gu Weimin Isn't it a little too enthusiastic?Sellers are in such a rush to sell what they have, buyers are haggling to their heart's content.Gu Weimin is known as a veteran in shopping malls, why did he commit a big taboo as soon as he made a move?

After being seated, Gu Weimin called the kitchen to serve the food.Chen Jiamei is a Malaysian Chinese, so he specially invited several local chefs to specialize in Nyonya dishes. This Nyonya dish has a lot of background.More than 600 years ago, Zheng He sailed to the West, and many of his subordinates did not return to their homeland, but stayed and settled in the Malay Peninsula.After hundreds of years of reproduction, they have become well-known local native Chinese.The Peranakans are very different from the Chinese who immigrated to Malaysia during the immigration wave at the end of the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century. Many Peranakans intermarried with the locals. Judging from their appearance, they are neither Chinese nor Malay.It is said that these native Chinese, more than a hundred years after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, still worship the Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty.Among the Peranakans, men are called "Baba" and women are called "Nyonya".

As the name suggests, Nyonya cuisine is a cuisine created by the Peranakans in the process of multiplying for hundreds of years. It is completely different from the major cuisines in China.Peranakan was born in a foreign land and could not find the ingredients needed to make Chinese food, but the cooking methods such as frying, cooking and frying still linger in his mind.In the end, Nyonya cuisine, a fusion of traditional Chinese cooking methods and Malay spices, was born. The Nyonya dishes were served, and the tableware was placed in front of everyone.The dishes are all served on Chinese-style plates, but the tableware in front of him is only silver spoons and forks, and there are no chopsticks.It turns out that for nearly two hundred years, the Malay Peninsula has long been a colony of the British Empire. Under the influence of the west wind, the tableware of Nyonya cuisine has also evolved into Western style.

Du Linxiang couldn't help sighing that eating Nyonya food is like reading a history book.He excitedly picked up a small bowl of laksa mee sua and tasted it, but the strong reaction from his taste buds made him put down the bowl.Du Linxiang's first impression was: it's really unpalatable.Du Linxiang looked at the people on the table, except for Chen Jiamei from Malaysia who ate with gusto, the others just tasted it.It seems that, not to mention Chinese and Europeans, even Chinese living in the Mainland and overseas Chinese have very different living habits. If the food is not good, drink more.Gu Weimin has an amazing capacity for drinking. He is all smiles and raises his glass frequently.Of course, with the corporate culture of the Witton Group, drinking is naturally not stage fright.

After several rounds of drinking, Gu Weimin put down his glass and said, "Mr. Du, I invite you to visit my humble house this time. Firstly, I come to reminisce about the past, and secondly, there is also a small matter." "What's the matter? Boss Gu just give orders." Du Linxiang kept silent about business, but was actually waiting for Gu Weimin to get to the point.Du Linxiang always likes to wait for work with ease when talking about business. If the opponent takes the initiative, he can put on a look of hesitation. "There is a Shunlong Group in Hezhou, and the boss is Wan Shunlong. Does Mr. Du know this person?" Gu Weimin asked.

Du Linxiang was very surprised, Gu Weimin suddenly mentioned Wan Shunlong, what does it mean?But he still put on a calm expression: "I know you. Shunlong Group is a well-known real estate company in Hezhou." "Wan Shunlong, does he have strength and character?" Gu Weimin asked again. Du Linxiang was even more puzzled, and said, "I am traveling with Mr. Wan. It is not easy to evaluate each other among colleagues." Gu Weimin said: "During this period, I have been in contact with Mr. Wan several times. He is planning to go public and wants to buy a shell from me. I have no idea about Mr. Wan's strength and character. After much deliberation , Mr. Du is such a reliable friend in Hezhou, so I want to get to know Wan Shunlong through you. If the other party is a serious businessman, of course we can continue to cooperate. If you have any questions, stop as soon as possible , so as not to waste time."

Du Linxiang was startled, and he remembered what Lu Youshun said when he was fishing at night: Shunlong Group is also preparing to go public.It's really a narrow road!On the skyscraper project, he was stabbed severely in the back by a man surnamed Wan, and now the two companies are going to start a hand-to-hand fight for listing. Another doubt in Du Linxiang's heart disappeared at this moment.Gu Weimin's actions today were too enthusiastic, almost unreasonable - invited Du Linxiang to his house to eat and drink, and then said that he had a shell that he wanted to sell. I don't know if the other party is willing to take over?Talking about business in this way can be said to be lost before a fight, wouldn't it be clear that Du Linxiang should put on airs and bargain!

After all, Gu Weimin is a shrewd businessman. Not only will he not get out of the bad game of losing before fighting, but he is planning to win before fighting.What I said just now cleverly conveyed a message that I have a shell in my hand, and I can sell it if the price is right.But Gu Weimin didn't tell the truth—I didn't say I would sell you Du Linxiang.Of course, if the buyer is interested, feel free to speak up.What's more, Gu Weimin moved out of Wanshunlong, which is equivalent to creating a strong opponent for Du Linxiang before the negotiation started.If you want to buy the shell in my hand, it depends on which of you bids the most!

Most of Du Linxiang's alcoholism has disappeared.The Gu Weimin in front of him is worthy of being a famous capital player in the world, and he has to deal with it well.He lit a cigarette slowly, and instead of answering Gu Weimin's question, he said, "Mr. Gu has more than one shell in his hand. I wonder which one is he going to sell to Mr. Wan this time?" Gu Weimin said: "It's Dazhong shares. I've held this shell in my hands for several years. If Mr. Wan hadn't come to the door many times, I would really be reluctant to sell it." Du Linxiang asked lightly again: "How much is Mr. Wan planning to pay for the shell? Of course, this is your business secret. It's not convenient for Mr. Gu to not tell you."

Gu Weimin quickly said, "What's the matter! Du is always on his own, so there is no need to hide it from you. I ask for more than 40 million yuan, and the two sides are still negotiating further." Both parties are veterans, and they both know in their hearts that this chat seems casual, but in fact it is the prelude to the negotiation - which shell is it, and how much is the price? Gu Weimin continued: "Mr. Wan is also anxious. The China Securities Regulatory Commission has always adopted strict restrictions on the listing of real estate companies. Among the more than 100 listed real estate companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen, only more than 30 are directly listed. The others are all buying shells. In the historic bull market of 2007, only four real estate companies were directly listed. By 2008, this figure had become two. Even Shunlong Group, known as the leading real estate company in Hezhou, wanted to go public The only way to go is to buy shells.” Gu Weimin smiled: "Wang Jianlin, chairman of Dalian Wanda Group, has a famous saying that real estate developers have made a lot of money over the years, but they are not in a good mood. Who says it's not? Support for a while, regulation for a while, things like going public severely restricted." Gu Weimin's words were naturally meant for Du Linxiang.With the strength of Wanshunlong, it can only buy a shell and go public. If Weitong wants to go public for financing, is there another way?And the shell resources I hold are enough to make you salivate. Du Linxiang took a deep puff of cigarette: "The quotation you gave to Mr. Wan is not low." Gu Weimin said with a smile: "Last year, Shunlong Group's sales amounted to billions, but this year there are not many real estate projects under construction. Mr. Wan should have plenty of cash flow." Du Linxiang took advantage of the situation and said: "Listening to what Mr. Gu said, you know the family background of Shunlong Group very well. What else do you want to ask me?" Gu Weimin smiled and said, "It's always a good thing to listen to more opinions. The so-called knowing the enemy and knowing yourself can win a hundred battles." "Yes, yes, yes." The two looked at each other and smiled again, but neither of them wanted to say anything. Gu Weimin's etiquette was very thoughtful. After the dinner, he sent Du Linxiang and his party outside the door.There were two cars parked at the entrance of the alley, Du Linxiang still got into the BMW, and Zhuang Zhiqi and Gao Mingyong got into the Audi behind them.Xie Yixuan sat in the front row of the BMW with a professional smile on her face. After fighting Gu Weimin just now, Du Linxiang was more or less tired.Seeing Xie Yixuan, he was in a better mood, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Under the night, Miss Xie is getting more and more beautiful. It's just that I'm sorry to ask you to give us a ride at such a late hour." Xie Yixuan said: "Mr. Gu specifically asked me to send Mr. Du and his party to the hotel. Besides, it is my honor to send Mr. Du off." Du Linxiang asked: "Why didn't I see you at the dinner just now?" Xie Yixuan said: "I'm just a small character, I'm not qualified to participate yet." Du Linxiang looked considerate: "Then you haven't eaten yet?" Xie Yixuan's eyes showed a trace of gratitude: "Our staff ate outside." Du Linxiang knew that Xie Yixuan was from Beijing, so he took the initiative to ask questions along the way, "Where is this place", "What is the name of this building", and so on.Xie Yixuan seemed to be happy to answer Du Linxiang's question, the two chatted happily, and returned to the hotel after a while. Xie Yixuan sent Du Linxiang and his party into the hotel lobby, and then turned to say goodbye.In the elevator room, Du Linxiang suddenly asked Gao Mingyong: "Miss Xie who brought us back just now, do you feel familiar?" Gao Mingyong shook his head: "I don't think it looks familiar." Du Linxiang continued to ask: "Don't you feel like someone from Hezhou?" Gao Mingyong was even more confused: "People from Hezhou? Who is it? Do I know him?" Du Linxiang put on a relaxed expression: "It's not anyone. I'll just ask."
