A passenger starship had just completed a space jump, and Chu Jungui in the first-class cabin received a message from Henry: "So far everything is going well, but it's too smooth. As far as I know, there is some bad news in the market about Ivington They released it themselves. You have to be careful of their comeback tactics. The most likely ones are as follows: 1. Suddenly announcing one or several major acquisitions; 2. A major bank announcing the acquisition of Boston Credit; 3. Exceeding expectations Report..."
Henry listed several eloquently and in great detail, and also analyzed the potential impact of each measure. Chu Junhui has never seen such a dedicated Henry.
In addition to Henry's message, there was also an anonymous message that was very strange. There was only one sentence in the message: "The data on starship combat acceleration you released seems to be wrong."
Chu Jungui didn't know who sent it, but since the other party mentioned it so clearly, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the data. Chu Jungui forwarded this news to Li Ruobai. After all, he was the one who drew the starship, so it was necessary to draw it more carefully.
Chu Jungui didn't bother to guess who sent the message. After all, more and more people were paying attention to Guangnian. Although Chu Jungui has many enemies, as Lightyear's stock price rises, the number of people who are willing to help him, covertly or covertly, has also increased significantly.
Chu Jungui looked at the stock price of Boston Credit and found that it was basically stable between 16 and 17, and the selling pressure had significantly weakened. In total, its market value loss in this round has exceeded 100 billion, which is a heavy blow.
The starship docked at the orbital port, and Chu Jungui returned to the Lightyear Office Building in Gemini. As soon as he returned to the office, he immediately called Clarkson.
"How did things go?" Chu Jungui asked.
"We have successfully obtained 55% control of Murphy Line, but it is indirect. Now through the directors controlled by us, we have passed a motion to expand the interstellar transport fleet and initiated a merger with another small shipping company. Merger The contract has been signed, and the required funds total 12 billion, of which 9 billion will be used as a credit line from Boston Credit according to the usual practice, and the remaining 3 billion will be borrowed from other banks."
Chu Jungui knew all the information about Murphy Shipping and asked, "Has the credit limit been fully used now?"
"A total of 15 billion has been used, and there is still 1 billion left. Do you want to use the rest?"
"No need, that's enough. Go and call Soma over."
Soma has neat and capable short hair and presents a cold and intellectual image. If you are not affected by her strong aura, you will find that she is actually very good-looking and not too old. Of course, a pair of long legs are standard. .
Soma was another director-level manager at Lightyear. Chu Jungui had forgotten what he was specifically responsible for, but he actually didn't care. Chu Jungui asked her to do another thing.
She adjusted her glasses, without a trace of smile, and said clearly and quickly: "What you asked me to do is almost completed. The first is to acquire the controlling stake of Black Maple Shipping, which has been completed. On the third day after the acquisition is completed, The next day, Murphy Line sent a merger offer to acquire 80% of our shipping capacity.”
Speaking of this, she seemed to glance at Chu Jungui inadvertently, obviously not thinking that this was just a coincidence. Unfortunately, she didn't see any changes on Chu Jungui's face.
Soma calmed down and continued: "Because the terms of the acquisition were very generous, I did not block it, but I also did not deliberately promote it. The other shareholders of Black Maple Shipping were very enthusiastic about the acquisition and jointly promoted the completion of the transaction. Now our fleet It already belongs to Murphy, and the only last step left is to drive the fleet to the designated star port for them. Murphy Shipping seems to be very full of orders recently. It does not allow our fleet to go to the headquarters for rendezvous and reorganization as usual. Instead, we directly designated a port for the fleet to load cargo there.”
"Because of Murphy's acquisition, the value of the shares we hold in Black Maple has increased significantly. There have been several groups of people interested in acquiring it, and the top one is willing to buy it at a price that is 35% higher than our cost, and I The expectation is 60%..."
Chu Jungui interrupted her: "Tell that person that we will sell it immediately at a 40% premium."
Soma was startled and said: "But I think 60% is a reasonable price."
"Contact that person now." Chu Jun returned.
Soma opened the communication channel and contacted the buyer in front of Chu Jungui. Sure enough, as soon as she explained Chu Jungui's conditions, the buyer agreed immediately without even thinking about it. Soma added two more stringent payment terms, but the other party only hesitated for a moment and agreed in full.
Based on the conversation between the two parties, a contract was automatically generated, and payment was made automatically after confirmation of signature. In less than ten minutes, the transaction was completed.
Soma couldn't help but roll his eyes at Chu Jungui, while making final greetings to the buyer: "Thank you very much, happy cooperation! Do you want dinner? Sorry, I haven't been very convenient recently... Okay, I will definitely do it when I have time. contact you!"
After cutting off the communication channel, Soma said: "St. Aylin's Restaurant is the most expensive place on the planet, but he is really willing to do it. He probably thinks I gave him a cheap price!"
Chu Jungui just pretended not to hear what she said and said with a smile: "Maybe he just wants a chance to treat you to dinner."
“This opportunity doesn’t need to be so complicated, I’m available every night.”
Chu Jungui still acted as if he didn't understand and said: "This time the matter was completed well. I will continue to work hard in the future."
Soma said: "It can only be said to be average. Our initial investment of 2 billion will yield a 40% return in a short period of time, but with a little more patience, the return is likely to rise to 60%." . This is a gap of 400 million."
Chu Jungui nodded and said, "Time is very important in this matter."
Having said this, Soma stopped arguing, stood up and left.
Chu Jungui called Evelin in again. This time she changed her position, moved a mat directly, sat on the floor, and leaned her upper body on the coffee table in front of Chu Jungui.
This posture made Chu Jungui feel a little uncomfortable and asked: "How did things go?"
Evelin said: "Didn't I send you a report a long time ago? The person has been found and confirmed to be the captain of Black Maple Shipping, who is responsible for planning the entire mission route. I only spent 5 million to get him to agree to follow the instructions we gave him. Anyway, there is no significant difference between the several routes. But the funny thing is, this guy thinks he is rich, and actually said that if I am willing to accompany him, I can give him one million less! Really..."
"What happened next?" Chu Jungui asked.
Evelin smiled and said: "Fortunately, I already knew the virtues of these guys, so I brought a beautiful woman with me when we went to talk. Sure enough, that guy was really shameless, and said that if it was her, I could give him 50 less. Wan. I persuaded her for a long time before she reluctantly agreed, and then the guy was as happy as anything. If he knew that the beauty usually only asked for 3,000, he didn't know if he would jump off the building on the spot. "
"It saved the company 500,000, which is good."
Evelin shouted: "This is not a matter of 500,000, okay! Why can't you see my invincible adaptability?"
"Has the fleet's schedule and route been finalized?"
"Of course, I had someone install a tracker on the fleet to confirm that it has set off and its destination is the Souo Galaxy."
Chu Jungui nodded and said, "Not bad."
Evelin handled this matter very steadily, which made Chu Jun Guidu very satisfied. Black Maple's fleet has already set sail. It will make a replenishment at a neutral port, and then go straight to the Canfu system to load the cargo carried by Murphy Shipping.
Evelin's eyes lit up when she was praised and she said, "What about the reward? I don't want any money!"
"Then what do you want?"
"dinner!"
Chu Jungui thought for a moment and said, "Let's see about it the day after tomorrow."
This is a classic text given by tactical deception. Three days is too far, tomorrow is too urgent, and the day after tomorrow is moderate. It can make the other party have a small expectation to get through the current hurdle, and then wait until the time is almost up before making excuses. It’s okay if you have something to do, or itinerary. There are changes, but in short, it can be rejected.
Unexpectedly, Evelin snorted and said, "If you don't want to eat, just say so. We'll see the day after tomorrow! No one would have used such a bad excuse 100 years ago!"
Now it was Chu Jungui's turn to be embarrassed, so he had to explain: "I didn't mean to shirk..."
"What is that? Taking too long to eat a meal? We could just eat for an hour."
Chu Jungui was stuck here again, so he had to say: "Okay, let's confirm it tomorrow."
Evelin made a victory gesture and said with a smile: "Just say you don't have time, and I won't be able to do anything to you? You have to use this trick to perfunctory me, and now you have to eat it, right? It's an old routine. Chairman!"
She jumped up, walked lightly, and swayed out of the office with a victor's attitude. Before going out, she even showed off her style.
Chu Jungui watched her leave, shook his head, and began to think about the next thing. It's just a meal. It's not a waste of time for him. Most problems can be handled in the background anyway.
Chu Jungui connected to Evans' communication and said: "The fleet has set off according to the scheduled route. After you hijack the fleet, go directly to the Cangfu galaxy and launch an indiscriminate attack there. Be sure to capture Cangfu. The galaxy is locked down for three days.”
Evans said: "The Sogo galaxy is just a remote small galaxy. Give me three destroyers and it will be no problem to block it for three days. But it cannot be longer. If it exceeds three days, the federal fleet will appear."
"Don't forget to check the badge." Chu Jungui warned.
Evans said: "Don't worry, I won't forget it. I never make mistakes when it comes to details. I have already had Wang Qi's badge aged. It turns out that the one is too new. It looks like it was just painted."
Chu Jungui likes Evans more and more now. This guy is super capable and extremely cautious and meticulous in his work. It can be said that there is almost no leakage. Apart from not being good at controlling brightness, this guy has absolutely no shortcomings.
Chu Jungui continued to be busy with the layout, while the three major components were quietly communicating in the background.
"Boy, I think I need to upgrade." Tactical deception seemed a bit heavy.
