Chapter 726: The Superior Strategy of Attacking the Mind (Part 3)
If you don't want this to turn into a prolonged battle like the 'Baowan Dispute', it's best to privately contact other shareholders.
As long as we gain the support of the Hengtai Group, their shareholding will increase to 15.63%, then acquire 3.93% more shares on the secondary market.
By then, holding 19.56% of the shares, they can surpass Standard Chartered Bank and the Liu Junxiong family to become the major shareholders of the Huaren Real Estate Group and forcibly convene a board meeting.
Once the board meeting is held, Lu Liang can use means such as coercion or temptation to force the board members to take sides.
At that time, with a shareholding of 33.4%, regardless of whether Liu Cixin agrees or not, Huaren Real Estate would basically belong to Lu.
After that, delisting and privatization
would be just a matter of Lu Liang's word.
"Old Xu... seems like a visit is necessary."
Lu Liang appeared thoughtful, called Xu Jiawei, and asked him to call Old Xu's assistant to check if he was in Yangcheng, planning to visit him.
Xu Jiawei nodded and added, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Yang from Emperor has invited you for a gathering tonight at a teahouse in Central."
"Contact Mr. Xu first, I'll personally call Mr. Yang later."
After Xu Jiawei left, Lu Liang instructed Sun Wenliang and the others, "Tomorrow at the market opening, proceed with the original plan, and collectively enter the market to acquire stocks of the four groups. I want them all to feel on edge."
Although Huaren Real Estate is the primary target for now, they can't let the other party know. They need to show the audacity to swallow all four.
This way, in order to protect themselves, they'd have no choice but to sacrifice a lesser piece to save a greater one.
Removing his headset, Lu Liang left the office and called Yang Qisheng, "Qisheng, sorry about that, I was busy just now and couldn't return your call."
"Brother Lu's bold move is indeed admirable."
Yang Qisheng said with a smile.
He anticipated that Lu Liang would have countermeasures, but he did not expect such a fierce one, directly waging war with the four families.
It was as if he had the momentum to swallow the world: Whoever crosses me, I will cross them, no matter if it's one or a group.
"What's there to admire? It's merely an act of helplessness." Lu Liang sighed deeply.
Honestly and dutifully listening and understanding the situation, allowing him to join HSBC, and none of this would have happened.
Just like a tiger hunting a wild boar, if a few rabbits come running by, not feasting on them would be a disservice to oneself.
Yang Qisheng was momentarily at a loss for words, his admiration for Lu Liang climbing another notch, as the few longstanding powerhouses in Xiangjiang seemed like schoolchildren in his eyes, needing to listen and behave...
He pondered and said, "Brother Lu, Mr. Zheng from New World, Mr. Guo from New Hongji, and others would like to arrange a good talk with you."
Lu Liang paused briefly and unexpectedly asked, "Is this their idea, or yours?"
"It's their idea. My father asked me to convey the message." Yang Qisheng felt a chill and promptly expressed himself.
"Since it's their idea, I have no time."
Lu Liang decisively refused and then said with a smile, "Qisheng, I can't join you for dinner tonight, I'll be heading to Yangcheng soon to visit Mr. Xu from Hengtai."
"Dinner can be arranged at any time. You take care of your matters first, and we can reschedule another time." Yang Qisheng appeared thoughtful.
Lu Liang suddenly informing him of his itinerary, going to Yangcheng to visit Old Xu from Hengtai. Was he implying to pass on a message?
"Alright then, we'll be in touch." Ending the call with Yang Qisheng, Lu Liang smiled.
If it were between two equal forces, letting them know he plans to visit Old Xu would surely prompt them to contact Old Xu first, allowing Old Xu to play his cards.
But in this case, the difference in power is significant. Lu Liang is confident in securing Old Xu, so letting them know in advance is a psychological strategy.
Xiangjiang is merely a small place; Lu Liang simply doesn't take the four groups seriously, he just wants a swift resolution.
The sooner he dominates the Xiangjiang Market,
the sooner he embarks on the journey to the international market.
