Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu noticed that Dong Yong was different, especially since he no longer showed the same respect to Wu Jing as he had when they first met. Thinking about his plan to sow discord, he wondered if Dong Yong was really going to start taking action.
If that's the case, then it seems there's something he can do. Thinking of the scattered shares he'd collected on the stock exchange and the shares he'd recovered from a shareholder, aren't these more important to Dong Yong? If so…

"Young Master Dong, would you be interested in having a chat?"

After completing the formalities, He Yuzhu stood in front of Dong Yong and smiled slightly!
"He Yuzhu, do you think there's any point in us talking? Or rather, I'm already being lenient by not causing you any trouble, so we have something to talk about?"

"No, no, no, your Dong family's departure from the capital has little to do with me. You know that better than anyone. If you've chosen the wrong side, you have to admit it."

You just think those people are too powerful, and that I'm the easiest pawn to handle. That's immature of you.

As a mature businessman, one should prioritize profit as long as bottom lines are not crossed. How could one be so emotional?

He Yuzhu stretched out his index finger and waved it, looking like an experienced person, as if he was giving Dong Yong pointers!
"Oh? Mr. He, in that case, what benefits can you bring me?"

Dong Yong knew that what He Yuzhu said was true, but it was also true that he had been set up. That was undeniable. Since he couldn't afford to offend those people at this stage, dealing with He Yuzhu would at least lessen the hatred, wouldn't it?

“I own 14 percent of the Wu family’s shares, and the Lou family also owns some. These are probably what you need most, right?”

He Yuzhu adopted an air of complete control, which greatly displeased Dong Yong;

But even though he was unhappy, there was nothing he could do; Wu's shares were indeed what he needed most.

Having been in Hong Kong Island for so long, and after a thorough investigation, I have found that the business district on Hong Kong Island has already been completely divided up.

The real estate industry has the Li and Huo families, the transportation industry has the Bao family, and the entertainment industry has also been divided up. Entering these industries rashly will only lead to bankruptcy sooner or later.
So, if one wants to gain a foothold in Hong Kong Island, the only option is to enter a new industry like the Lou family. But is it so easy to enter a new industry?

Not only have the original industrial resources been divided up, but these large families have also built complete industrial chains. Emerging industries cannot be accurately positioned, and rashly entering them may result in disastrous consequences.
After much deliberation, Dong Yong decided to enter a mature industry, which would basically guarantee a steady profit, even if it wasn't much. At least he would have a base of operations, right?

"He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu, you really are someone special. I just don't understand, you've only just arrived in Hong Kong, how do you know so much about this?"

Dong Yong admitted that He Yuzhu had piqued his interest. With He Yuzhu's 14% stake plus his own 30%, convening a board meeting would be no problem. How could he not be interested?
"You came to Hong Kong Island alone, but I'm here with easy access to information. Plus, with Wu Jing being such a playboy, is it really that hard for me to understand the Wu family?"

"But you can take over the Wu family yourself. You have the ability, don't you?"

Dong Yong is right. He Yuzhu could have entered the game himself and come down to the Wu family directly. That way, he would have a well-established company.

“I’m not interested in the real estate industry. In Hong Kong, the Li and Fok families dominate the real estate market. I have a bad habit: I’d rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. Therefore, I’m just trying to make a profit by acquiring Wu’s shares!”

"Okay, how much do you want?"

Dong Yong couldn't guess He Yuzhu's true purpose, nor did he know which of his words were true and which were false. Since that was the case, he decided to get straight to the point!

"Twenty million!" "Ahem, how much?"

"Twenty million, that's the lowest I can go. The Wu family's fixed assets are worth two hundred million, and the key is that they don't have much debt. They're all high-quality assets. Fourteen percent, is twenty million a lot?"

"He Yuzhu, do you think I'm a sucker? You only need to spend a little over ten million for this fourteen percent, and you can make several million in profit right away?"

Wu's stock price has been declining all the way down, and it has long lost its value to the appraisal agency. Therefore, 14% and 15 million is the bottom line!
"Young Master Wu, I don't play the stock market, and neither do you. Think about it, the Wu family's business is so large that you can take it over and start operating immediately. Twenty million is indeed not a high amount. Of course, if you are not willing, I believe there are others who are interested. You are not the only one eyeing the Wu family; the Lou family is also interested!"

He Yuzhu didn't believe Dong Yong wouldn't be tempted. This was the Wu Group, and according to Songcheng's intelligence, Dong Yong had always wanted his own company so that he could openly enter Shenzhou.

Since this person has been following Wu Jing, he must know Wu's business very well. Therefore, He Yuzhu is almost certain that this person is determined to get Wu's business. Otherwise, given Dong Yong's level of skill, he would not follow Wu Jing, this good-for-nothing!
"Alright, twenty million it is. However, I also want the shares held by the Lou family. That's a condition. If you can't accept it, then forget it!"

Dong Yong knew that He Yuzhu wanted to kill him, but even if he knew, there was nothing he could do. He had spent so much time and money on the Wu family, and if this man interfered, his plan might fall through!
Regardless, Dong Yong always harbored a strong sense of wariness towards He Yuzhu. Once bitten, twice shy; even in the capital, where conditions were so favorable, he was still easily outmaneuvered, let alone in a place like Hong Kong.
He Yuzhu's arrival has plunged the Wu family into an unprecedented crisis. Not everyone has this ability, so it is no exaggeration to pay more attention to He Yuzhu!

"Moth, what do you think?"

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e. This matter was really not something he could decide on his own. Whether the Lou family's shares would be sold or not depended on Lou Zhenhua!

“Brother Zhu, my dad never intended to take over Wu’s business. Acquiring shares was just a side thing. Selling them to Young Master Dong is not out of the question!”

Lou Zhenhua had no intention of moving in; he just wanted to gain some goodwill at this crucial moment and make some money along the way. The Lou family's businesses were basically under Lou Xiao'e's control, so he could make such a decision!
"Alright, in that case, Young Master Dong, this is my lawyer. The share transfer will be handled by him. Your lawyer can handle it directly!"

"Alright, here's a check for twenty million. As for the Lou family's shares, I'll personally visit Mr. Lou. Goodbye!"

"Young Master Dong, taking down the Wu family is only the first step. Next, we need to see the Li family's attitude. Therefore, the board of directors still needs to be cautious!"

"why?"

"what why?"

He Yuzhu looked at Dong Yong with a puzzled expression!

Why the reminder?

Dong Yong couldn't understand it. Anyone with eyes could see that, but why would He Yuzhu be so kind?

"We all come from the mainland. Although there have been some unpleasant experiences, we can still help each other when facing local forces in Hong Kong!"

He Yuzhu was certainly not a saint, but if Dong Yong were accepted by the Li family, they might need his help in the future. Therefore, there was no harm in establishing a good relationship beforehand! (End of Chapter)
