Chapter 320 Zhang Shao's Plot
Qi Tongwei's judgment was very accurate. The relaxation of the inspection team did not change the living environment and operating conditions of the six companies involved.
Although Liu Sheng's actions reduced the heat of the incident, they did not change people's views on the six grain and oil companies.
Except for people in remote areas who do not watch the news, almost no one buys the products of several companies anymore. All major supermarkets and grain and oil stores have urgently removed their products from the shelves.
All of this leads to one consequence: no investor is optimistic about them.
The stock prices of several companies have hit the daily limit several times and are on the verge of delisting.
Faced with this situation, the six companies involved finally faced reality. They realized that continuing to persist might lead to greater losses. If they did not admit defeat, they would probably lose more, so they decided to cut their losses and leave.
However, the six companies are all very large, so it is still very complicated to deal with them.
Although Liu Sheng's operation this time did not change the status quo, his series of actions did change the public opinion environment and the intensity of the inspection team's investigation.
Therefore, several companies still trust Mr. Liu and ask him to help find buyers. The two parties meet to negotiate the specific price.
After Liu Sheng received this information, he immediately reported it to Zhang Shao and proposed the idea of trying to acquire one or two of the companies.
Although the six grain and oil companies' stock prices have plummeted due to the nationwide boycott, they still have many valuable assets and resources.
These companies are large in scale, have numerous patents and extensive sales channels, all of which are very valuable.
If the company can successfully acquire these six companies, then create a new brand and go public through a backdoor listing, the new company will soon become the most powerful grain and oil company in the country.
Zhang Shao would naturally not let go of such a business opportunity easily.
However, before problems arose for these six companies, the market value of each was no less than 1000 billion yuan.
Even if there are problems now, the market value of each company is at least 30 to 40 billion.
To acquire all six companies, a total of more than 200 billion yuan would be needed.
Although the Zhang family is strong, they cannot come up with so much money.
Therefore, when Mr. Liu said the prices of the six companies, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but frowned.
"Mr. Zhang, how about we acquire the largest one among them?" Liu Sheng suggested.
However, Zhang Shao was not reconciled. If he only acquired one of them, it would not satisfy his ambition at all.
"You continue to investigate the situation of the six companies. I will discuss it with someone." Zhang Shao did not give Liu Sheng the exact news. In fact, it was not just Zhang Shao. There were many people who were eyeing the six grain and oil companies.
Somewhere in the capital, Zhang Shao was discussing this matter with his father and brother.
"Acquire these six grain and oil companies?" asked Zhang Shao's father Zhang Jianhua.
"Well, once we control these six grain and oil companies, reorganize them and list them on the stock market, we will be able to become the largest grain trader in Asia, and even in the world, we will be able to rank among the top.
Moreover, grain and oil enterprises are different from other types of companies. If we control them, it will greatly increase our family's influence, and perhaps even benefit the political arena, which will be beneficial to your and your elder brother's careers." Zhang Shao explained.
"I also know the benefits of this, but you can't just consider the benefits and ignore the risks. It's not just our Zhang family that's targeting them." Zhang Shao's father Zhang Jianhua said lightly.
"Xuejun, what Dad said makes sense. If we really want to take control of these six companies, we will probably be collectively targeted. Once grandpa passes away, the consequences will be unpredictable." Zhang Xuemin, the eldest brother of the Zhang family, reminded his younger brother.
He is well aware of the interests involved. If the Zhang family forcibly fights for these six companies, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance and counterattack of other forces. At that time, the Zhang family will be surrounded by enemies.
Young Master Zhang Xuejun said with regret: "That's such a pity!"
"You need to have a life to spend your money. Money is good but you can't put the cart before the horse. What's truly powerful is always power. We only need to take over two of these six companies, and there's no need to fight for the other four." Zhang Jianhua set the tone.
He was very clear-headed. Only by having enough power could he ensure the safety and stability of his family. Money was only one aspect of it.
"Dad, many of the assets we have are fixed assets and stocks, which are far from enough to acquire two companies." Zhang Xuemin, the eldest son of the Zhang family, reminded his father.
Although the Zhang family is strong, it still needs more financial support to acquire the two companies.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Jianhua pondered for a moment and said: "Then sell some fixed assets, or mortgage some real estate. In short, we must raise enough funds to complete this acquisition."
Although it was impossible to acquire all six companies, the Zhang family could still barely afford to acquire two of them with their strength. Zhang Jianhua also knew the benefits of acquiring grain and oil companies, so he chose to fully support his son Zhang Xuejun.
"Dad, brother, you don't have to worry about the money. I will find a way." Zhang Xuejun said with a relaxed look on his face. He thought of a way to solve the funding problem on his way back.
"You come up with a solution. Xuejun, don't be so greedy. It's okay to spend less money, but you can't take it by force, so as to avoid backlash." Zhang Jianhua warned Zhang Xuejun.
Zhang Xuejun smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. I know the seriousness of this matter. Don't worry, I have already thought of a way. I guarantee that they will not be able to find fault with it."
Seeing that his father and elder brother were looking at him, Zhang Xuejun knew that they would not give up unless he gave a reason, so he began to talk about his own solution.
"Dad, big brother, we can first set up a grain and oil company, then sign acquisition contracts with two of the companies, and then take this contract to the bank to apply for a loan.
In this way, we can acquire these two companies without spending a penny." Zhang Shao smiled proudly, not worrying at all that the bank would refuse to lend him money.
Hearing this, Zhang Jianhua and Zhang Xuemin looked at each other, with a hint of relief in their eyes.
Obviously, they are very satisfied with this plan, which is also the wonderful use of power.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jianhua solemnly told his son: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. You choose the two companies you want to acquire, and as for the remaining four, you can use them as favors."
Zhang Xuejun nodded in agreement without hesitation, turned and left, preparing to contact Liu Sheng and enter into negotiations as soon as possible.
However, there is no airtight wall in the world.
Although the Zhang family tried to use their exclusive information advantage to seize these companies, they and their allies took down the six grain and oil companies involved before others could react.
But they underestimated the attractiveness of the six grain and oil companies, and it was not just the Zhang family that was eyeing them.
There are still variables for the Zhang family and its allies to acquire the six grain and oil companies.
