Chapter 30 7. The more you strike late, the more you need to gain insight into opportunities

It was three days after Du Linxiang flew back to Hezhou from Hong Kong.He called Zhuang Zhiqi to the office, and said with a smile on his face, "I've been too busy with work recently, I haven't played chess for a long time. I just have time today, next game?" "Okay, it's rare that Mr. Du has a good mood, and I will definitely accompany him." Zhuang Zhiqi said. After laying out the chess pieces, Du Linxiang lit a cigarette and put the cannon in the middle: "Today I will do my part, and the next one will go first." Zhuang Zhiqi led the horse: "Then I'd like to learn from Mr. Du, so I can strike later."

Du Linxiang took a step forward: "The more you strike late, the more you need to see the opportunity first. Zhiqi, tell me, why did you feel that there was a problem with the shell of Dazhong Stock from the very beginning?" Zhuang Zhiqi knew that what Du Linxiang couldn't forget was definitely not the game at this moment, but the big game that had been played for several months.Zhuang Zhiqi said: "The first time I went to Hong Kong, Gu Weimin told me that he had a very high shareholding ratio in Dazhong. It takes up a lot of money. Gu Weimin is a well-known capital player, why did he commit such a big taboo? There is only one reasonable explanation: this shell is too rotten, and only an absolute holding can temporarily cover up all the holes."

Zhuang Zhiqi went on to say: "Of course, these are just suspicions, and there is no evidence." Du Linxiang smiled: "From Jiao Tianming, we finally got the evidence. That trip to Zhuhai is the winner of the whole game." Zhuang Zhiqi also lit a cigarette: "Ordinary people understand the importance of winning and losing moves. However, a master like Mr. Du can immediately change this winning and losing move into a starting move for a larger chess game, which is admirable what!" Zhuang Zhiqi couldn't help recalling that southern night when the moon was shining brightly.Jiao Tianming, who was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, couldn't help himself from being questioned repeatedly, and finally revealed the truth - Dazhong shares are a dirty shell at all.During the few years when Gu Weimin took control of Dazhong shares, he not only siphoned money out of the listed company, but also left a huge guarantee black hole.Gu Weimin borrowed nearly 500 million yuan from several banks with Volkswagen shares as a guarantee.None of the money remained in Dazhong shares, and it was all transferred to other company accounts controlled by Gu Weimin, and a considerable part of it even flowed overseas through underground banks.

Gu Weimin is worthy of being a capital wizard. Under his careful management, the books of Dazhong shares are still bright and beautiful.What's more terrible is that many creditors have seen through Gu Weimin's empty shelf, and it is impossible to repay the debt owed.They simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, and cooperated with Gu Weimin's performance to a certain extent, and only waited for Gu Weimin to throw out the dirty shell before collecting debts from the new owner. Even Jiao Tianming didn't fully understand the 500 million guaranteed black hole.What he revealed to Zhuang Zhiqi at the beginning was only more than 200 million yuan, and it took Zhuang Zhiqi several months to sort out the rest.

Du Linxiang's chess style is as fierce as ever.One of his cars has crossed the border between Chuhe and Han, and he put on a posture that he would not hesitate to confront Zhuang Zhiqi.Zhuang Zhiqi still didn't change his habit of disliking pairs. He swung his car to the right to temporarily avoid Du Linxiang's sharp edge. Du Linxiang smiled triumphantly: "At that time, I was in a state of desperation, and Wan Shunlong wanted to put me to death. The following story corresponds to the sentence: I was forced to go to Liangshan. In desperation, I thought, Why not follow the plan and let Wan Shunlong swallow this rotten shell."

Zhuang Zhiqi stared at the chessboard and said slowly: "The beauty of the chess game is that Mr. Du not only knows how to strike late, but also plays hard to get to the extreme." Du Linxiang said: "With Wan Shunlong's shrewdness, if I withdraw from this shell snatching battle for no reason, he will definitely be more vigilant. I can expose Gu Weimin's deception through Jiao Tianming, and Wan Shunlong may not be able to do it." "Not only did not retreat, but the offensive became stronger." Zhuang Zhiqi took a sip of tea, "Liao Haitao was arrested, and Wan Shunlong was defeated in the first round of the shell grabbing battle. At this moment, Wan Shunlong's wariness towards Dazhong shares will inevitably weaken. ——Since Du Linxiang is desperate to grab it, then this shell should be pretty good."

"This is just one, and there is another." Du Linxiang laughed, "I know Wan Shunlong too well. He is arrogant and arrogant. The most unacceptable thing is failure, especially at the hands of Du Linxiang, who has always been dismissive of him. Here, the anger of revenge will make Wan Shunlong more adventurous and radical." "Boss Du is brilliant!" Zhuang Zhiqi said. Du Linxiang said: "A hero with three gangs, the final victory of this chess game lies in having two good helpers. We alone may not be able to defeat Wan Shunlong." Zhuang Zhiqi asked: "You mean Zhang Qingbo and Gu Weimin?"

Du Linxiang nodded: "Speaking of which, I blame Wan Shunlong for making too many enemies. Ever since the skyscraper incident last time, Zhang Qingbo hated Wan Shunlong so much. When I explained my plan to Lao Zhang He, he just patted me. The thighs are shouting: 'Don't be soft on the surnamed Wan, if you want to do it, you will do it to death.'” The car under Du Linxiang looked majestic, but it was suddenly bombarded by Zhuang Zhiqi with a cannon.But this didn't affect his mood, the smile on his face remained the same: "Gu Weimin's last joining is not up to him."

Zhuang Zhiqi said: "I have known Gu Weimin for some time, and I have never seen him lose his composure. By the way, that night was in this office." "That's right, it's right here! This kid picked up his teacup and threw it at me angrily. Fortunately, I reacted quickly." Du Linxiang happily recalled the process of subduing Gu Weimin. On the night before the payment was about to be made, Du Linxiang invited Gu Weimin to Hezhou.In the huge office, only Du Linxiang, Gu Weimin and Zhuang Zhiqi were left.Du Linxiang didn't go around in circles, and showed his cards to Gu Weimin as soon as he came up.Gu Weimin was completely angry, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, threw it at Du Linxiang, and kept yelling: "You bastards, you actually use such a bad way!"

Dodging the teacup thrown by Gu Weimin, Du Linxiang sat back in his chair gracefully: "If we call it the third bad, and you leave a guaranteed black hole of 500 million, what is it called?" Gu Weimin still slapped the table and cursed angrily: "Your surname is Du, what do you want?" Zhuang Zhi Qila Gu Weimin sat down, lit a cigarette for him, and made tea again.Afterwards, Zhuang Zhiqi told an allusion: During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Shi Li Jun was ordered by the emperor to come to Qiantang County, Zhejiang Province to supervise grain storage.However, the magistrate of Qiantang County didn't buy Li Jun at that time. On the surface, he was respectful, but in his heart he always wanted to plot to harm him.Once, the county magistrate found an opportunity to send one of his confidants to Li Jun's side as an attendant. Because Li Jun had no defense against others, this attendant quickly gained his trust and found an opportunity to steal Li Jun. Jun's imperial historian seal.When Li Jun wanted to use the seal for office work, he found that the print box was empty!

After Li Jun's subordinates knew about it, they wanted to lead troops to search the county magistrate's house, but Li Jun stopped him immediately, because it was useless to know in his heart, and there was no evidence at all.If there is a large number of people to search, it is very likely that the other party will throw away the "stolen goods" in a panic. In this way, Li Jun will not only be unable to get back the official seal, but will also drive himself to a dead end, because losing the seal is a very serious dereliction of duty .In order not to let others see that he had lost his official seal, Li Jun could only pretend to be sick and temporarily stop handling official business. Later, Li Jun pretended to be recovering from a serious illness and invited the county magistrate to drink and celebrate at home.The two were drinking, and for some reason, the kitchen of Li Jun's house suddenly caught fire. Li Jun quickly took out a printed box from the bedroom and handed it to the county magistrate, saying, "Keep it for me for one night, and send it back tomorrow morning." , it is important for me to put out the fire at this moment!" After speaking, the county magistrate had no chance to refuse, and ran away to fight the fire. The fire in the kitchen was actually set by Li Jun himself, who had arranged for his servants to set it off in advance. Of course, the fire would not be too big, and it was extinguished after three strikes.However, the county magistrate was different. He returned home with an empty box.If he sent it back as it was, it would mean that he had lost the seal of the imperial censor, and that would be a catastrophe for the whole family!After much deliberation, the county magistrate had no choice but to put the official seal he had ordered stolen from Li Jun back into the box, and sent the seal box back to Li Jun's home early the next day.After Li Jun took the box, he opened it for inspection on the spot, and the big seal inside was impressive! After listening to Zhuang Zhiqi's story, Du Linxiang said leisurely: "Mr. Gu, you have only two choices now, either tell everyone that Dazhong Stock is an empty box; or cooperate with us and hand over the empty box to Wan Shunlong." Gu Weimin smoked heavily, but his eyes gradually changed from anger to coldness.A few minutes later, he stifled the cigarette with all his strength, and said through his teeth: "When you get on the thief's boat, follow the thief." So far, the preparations for the big drama of inviting you into the urn are ready.Then Zhang Qingbo's forced debts, and Gu Weimin's desperation, he went to find Wan Shunlong to continue his relationship, but they all followed the script. Du Linxiang asked: "Wan Shunlong is still preparing for the successful listing celebration, and he still hasn't noticed it so far?" "I don't know." Zhuang Zhiqi shook his head, "But even if he finds out that he has been tricked, the celebration will continue. Wan Shunlong is a smart man, he knows that he is holding an empty box in his hand, and the first thing is not to say anything." Du Linxiang took another step forward.Zhuang Zhiqi stared at the chessboard and muttered to himself: "Mr. Du's determination is really firm. In order to escort two pawns across the river, a horse was disabled and a cannon was lost." Du Linxiang took another step forward: "You still said that one was missed. Two pawns crossed the river, and now there is only one left. Just for the only remaining pawn, I have really tried my best." Zhuang Zhiqi analyzed the chess game: "Kung fu pays off, Mr. Du's pawn has already killed my heartland, I really have to be careful." "You must not underestimate the pawns who cross the river." Du Linxiang said, "Since you came to the company, you have often played chess with me and told me a lot of chess records. For example, the four famous games of Chinese chess, Gathering of Seven Stars, and Earthworm Conquering the Dragon , Ye Ma Cao Tian, ​​and Journeying Thousands of Miles, opened my eyes. I also carefully analyzed these famous games. Except for Ye Ma Cao Tian, ​​the other three, in the end, the one who really decided the outcome was precisely a pawn crossing the river." Du Linxiang went on to say: "In this game of chess with Wan Shunlong and Gu Weimin, the little pawn who crossed the river also contributed a lot." Zhuang Zhiqi showed shame: "It's all because I was careless for a moment, and unexpectedly recruited a traitor into the company." Du Linxiang waved his hand: "Without this traitor, it's really not that simple to win Wan Shunlong. Zhiqi, you have made great contributions to the company." Zhuang Zhiqi asked: "Mr. Du, when did you find out that Zhu Tianrui is a spy?" Du Linxiang said: "As soon as we went to Beijing to contact Gu Weimin, Wan Shunlong came to make indirect remarks. At that time, I suspected that someone in the company had leaked the news. After a careful investigation, I finally locked in Zhu Tianrui. At first I thought about driving him away. , Later I felt that maybe this is a Jiang Gan-style character." Zhuang Zhiqi said: "Wan Shunlong was smart but was misled by his cleverness. He didn't expect to be tricked. In the end, he boldly bought the shares of Dazhong. How good the shell of the shares is, it’s up to the individual. I admire Mr. Du even more. He took Zhu Tianrui to Beijing for a tour, and visited President Yang and Mr. He. When the news came back to Hezhou, Wan Shunlong believed it even more .” "It's all pediatrics." Du Linxiang waved his hands, but his face was full of complacency.The trip to Beijing can indeed be called the crowning achievement of this anti-indirect plan.Even Zhang Qingbo was full of admiration for Du Linxiang, saying that Wan Shunlong would be doomed once this move was made. Du Linxiang asked Zhu Tianrui to put 100,000 U.S. dollars into a purse with his own hands, and then asked President Yang to meet with Mr. He and make friends everywhere.But at every critical moment, Zhuang Zhiqi would take Zhu Tianrui away.There is nothing wrong with doing this. When bribing high-ranking officials, the fewer people present, the better. When Zhu Tianrui left and Zhang Qingbo and Du Linxiang were the only ones left, they didn't give away the purse, they just chatted for a while and then broke up to say goodbye.Both President Yang and Mr. He would not care about the black leather bag that was always in Du Linxiang's hand!Friends get together, you Du Linxiang carry a bag in your hand, it's none of my business! However, Wan Shunlong, who was far away in Hezhou, believed that Du Linxiang had no choice but to suspend the acquisition because the bank forced debts and the capital chain was broken.He never dreamed that the bureau jointly completed by Du Linxiang, Zhang Qingbo, Gu Weimin and others was waiting for him. Du Linxiang's situation on the chessboard was not dominant, facing Zhuang Zhiqi's pressing every step of the way, Du Linxiang moved his rook to the middle.Zhuang Zhiqi shook his head and said, "Boss Du wants to match again?" Du Linxiang smiled slightly: "Decades of chess style can't be changed. Why, you are not right?" Zhuang Zhiqi said: "I don't like the chess style of the pair, and I think it will be hard to change. But this time, I will not be stingy. It's just such a pair, Du always suffers a bit." Zhuang Zhiqi decisively took the opponent's rook, and Du Linxiang also Immediately Flying Elephant took revenge. "Tell me, where am I at a disadvantage?" Du Linxiang asked after the match. Zhuang Zhiqi said: "From the very beginning, Mr. Du wanted to match my rook with me, and I stayed away from it. Up to now, I still have two rooks, but you only have one rook. At this time, I will not suffer a pair. Du It’s always not cheap, so I’m willing to come to the right.” "You are right." Du Linxiang said, "I have already fallen into a disadvantage on the chessboard. It is said that it is not good for me to fight with the right pieces at this time. But if you look at the situation again, if the pieces are not right, there is a better way Is it? If I hesitate a little, after a few steps, I probably won’t even have a chance of pairing. I’m dead anyway, and I have to pull a back.” Zhuang Zhiqi smiled: "Boss Du's chess style is really aggressive. The more critical the situation is, the more slanted his sword will be." "That was a last resort." Du Linxiang said, "Let's talk about this time, although I got Wan Shunlong into it, I didn't get anything. It can only be regarded as a business that hurts others and does not benefit myself." "That's right! Wan Shunlong fell into it, and we didn't get out of the quagmire. Weitong's financial dilemma is still a sharp sword hanging over our heads." Zhuang Zhiqi sighed. Du Linxiang said in a heavy tone: "So, this is still an unfinished chess game." Zhuang Zhiqi raised his head suddenly, and said word by word: "Mr. Du, I think of a dangerous move, do you dare to make it?" "What dangerous chess?" Du Linxiang asked. Zhuang Zhiqi said: "Treat the entire Weitong Group as a pawn crossing the river." "Treat Weitong as a pawn crossing the river, what should I say?" Du Linxiang asked curiously. Zhuang Zhiqi took a sip of tea: "In today's general climate, as a real estate company, it is too difficult to list on the mainland's A-share market. However, the Hong Kong stock market has always opened its arms to mainland real estate companies." "More importantly," Zhuang Zhiqi put down his teacup, "In the past few decades, fund analysts in Hong Kong used NAV instead of P/E ratio to measure the market value of real estate companies." Du Linxiang shook his head suspiciously: "What is that NAV?" Zhuang Zhiqi realized that what he just said was too professional, and he immediately explained: "NAV is an evaluation system for listed companies. I will not go into details about the specific standards of this evaluation system, but in this evaluation system Real estate companies with large land banks tend to score higher under this circumstance.” Du Linxiang finally understood: "That is to say, the larger the land reserve of a real estate company, the more popular it will be in the eyes of Hong Kong investors?" "That's what it means." Zhuang Zhiqi said. Du Linxiang shook his head again: "The scale of Weitong's land reserve is certainly not bad in Hezhou, but compared with other domestic real estate companies, it can only pale in comparison." Zhuang Zhiqi said: "Weitong's current land reserve is really not much, but we can increase the reserve." Du Linxiang said: "Increasing land reserves means, to put it bluntly, spending money to buy land. Where does Wistron have money now?" Zhuang Zhiqi said: "Mr. Du has been working in the real estate industry for many years. He must know that you can buy land on credit in the mainland market." Of course Du Linxiang understood the meaning of "credit account".In the real estate market in Mainland China, after a piece of land is auctioned off from the government, it is not necessary to immediately hand over the land purchase price in full.The usual practice is to pay about 20% of the land purchase price first, and the two parties agree to pay the rest in installments in the next few years.What's more, if the enterprise is willing to increase the purchase price of the land, the government will also reduce the down payment ratio and extend the settlement cycle as appropriate. Du Linxiang vaguely understood Zhuang Zhiqi's meaning. This was to take advantage of the Hong Kong stock market's evaluation system that focused on the size of land reserves, and the convenience of installment payments in the mainland land market to make a time difference! Du Linxiang said: "We don't hesitate to take on even heavier debts, and wantonly enclose land in the mainland. Then we will use the huge land reserves to list in Hong Kong, and then use the funds raised in the stock market to repay the huge debts we owe. This is indeed a risky move. what!" Zhuang Zhiqi said: "That's why I said that I regard the whole Weitong as a pawn crossing the river. Once a pawn crosses the river, there is no turning back. Besides, you are just a pawn after all. On the other side of the river, people still have chariots, horses, and artillery. The soldiers are strong and strong. I can eat you anytime." "It is indeed a dangerous game." Du Linxiang said, "If it fails in the end, what will happen to Weitong?" "Falling into the abyss of eternal doom, there will never be a day of recovery." Zhuang Zhiqi's face is heavy, "Once this move is taken, Weitong will at least bear billions of debts, and will owe huge amounts of land transfer fees to local governments. In the whole country At the same time, dozens of construction sites will be rolled out, and the advance capital of the builder will also be astronomical. If it cannot be successfully listed in the end, even the gods will not be able to save Weitong.” Du Linxiang stood up, his attention could no longer be concentrated on the small chessboard in front of him.He paced back and forth in the office, weighing a bigger chess game in his mind. Du Linxiang stopped in his tracks: "What if it succeeds?" Zhuang Zhiqi said: "Not only will the current financial difficulties no longer exist, but Weitong will also become one of the first-tier domestic developers in one fell swoop by virtue of its huge land reserve and brand influence in the national market." Du Linxiang lit a cigarette and sat back in front of the chessboard.He looked at the current chess game, Zhuang Zhiqi had completely gained the upper hand.Du Linxiang pointed to the pawn on the chessboard: "My pawn has already reached your hinterland. Facing a complete disadvantage, can this pawn turn the tide?" Zhuang Zhiqi glanced around the chessboard: "No way. With all due respect, Mr. Du has already lost the game. I have all the officials and bishops, and it is easy to guard against this little pawn. Besides, I really have the rook, the rook, the bishop, etc. When the cannon is brought back, it will not be difficult to kill this pawn." Du Linxiang sighed: "My chess skills are far behind yours. This round, it seems that there is no way to recover." Zhuang Zhiqi bowed his head and did not speak, only listening to Du Linxiang continue to say: "The little pawn on the chessboard is doomed to die. But Weitong, a little pawn, has to cross the river when it should be crossed. It is better to work hard than suffer! It is better to be useless all day long. If you are angry, you might as well give it a go!" Zhuang Zhiqi said slowly: "This is not only hard work, but also a gamble." Du Linxiang laughed: "Without gambling, I would not be where I am today. Zhiqi, I am not as good as you in terms of chess skills, and you are not as good as me in terms of gambling skills!" Zhuang Zhiqi said: "This is a big deal, should we call Mr. An and Mr. Lin to discuss it?" "No need." Du Linxiang stubbed out the cigarette butt, "You can discuss small things with someone, but I always take big ideas alone." Du Linxiang went on to say: "Of course, the meeting that should be held has to be held. Not only the vice presidents, but also all the middle-level officials of the company participated. Everyone is not here to discuss whether this should be done, but to discuss how to do this. Do it!"
