Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Dong Yong told Tao Wei all the so-called information, and sighed inwardly: I'm sorry, Brother Tao, He Yuzhu is going to bankrupt you.
I have no choice. If I don't scheme to take down the Dong family as well, it's better for my fellow Daoists to die than for me to die. The Tao family is doomed!

It's all your fault for being so tactless and attacking the He family before you've grown up, provoking He Yuzhu to retaliate. I was just trying to protect myself. Don't blame me for your bankruptcy!

"The Lou family? Is that the business owned by Lou Bancheng back then?"

Tao Wei got interested. When he first came to Hong Kong Island this year, he even approached Lou Zhenhua hoping to be allowed to invest. Unfortunately, the old man, who didn't know what was good for him, refused!

The elders in the family once said that Lou Zhenhua's business acumen was beyond question. He was the only one who could protect his family business and make it grow in troubled times. Others might resort to despicable means such as siding with Japanese spies to do business, but Lou Zhenhua relied entirely on his ability to navigate all situations!

To survive in such a precarious situation and still manage to grow a business is a testament to Lou Bancheng's true abilities. That's why Lou Bancheng was the first person he sought out when he came to Hong Kong, not for Lou Bancheng's businesses but for Lou Bancheng himself!
"That's right, Lou Bancheng has health problems and his request for Bai Tou Ying's son to come to Hong Kong to inherit the family business was rejected!"

"However, Young Master Lou doesn't want the Lou family's assets to fall into the hands of his concubine, Lou Tanshi, and his sister, Lou Xiao'e. I reckon that this guy doesn't want to come but still wants the money, which is why the Lou family has made such a fool of itself!"

Dong Yong admired He Yuzhu's ingenious design. He had to admit that this argument was reasonable from a human perspective; the son of the legal wife didn't want the daughter of the concubine to take advantage of him!
This can also be explained by the traditional Chinese distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Lou Zhenhua's shares will not be given to Lou Xiao'e, and since his son will not inherit them, they can only be sold. Forty percent plus ten percent equals fifty percent...

In other words, with a little more effort, the shareholding could exceed 50%, and Lou Xiao'e's 30% would be less effective, at least not enough to prevent the Lou family from changing hands. The scheme was flawless!

"What do you mean by He Qian already making a move?"

Tao Wei felt this was a great opportunity to establish himself in Hong Kong. Polar Bear couldn't go back. After making inquiries from various sources, he learned that the frozen accounts would not be unfrozen, and the trading company that Vlamikl couldn't support the cash flow was already in dire straits. Bang Geng was also imprisoned!
Returning to Polar Bear now would be like walking into a trap. Polar Bear mobilized all his connections but couldn't get the account unfrozen. A large amount of money became Elena's cash flow, but he was powerless against this blatant robbery because Elena's status was too high!
His so-called connections dared not provoke Elena, and even the media dared not report on him. He also lacked any concrete evidence to prove his innocence and that the account freeze was a case of commercial persecution. Therefore, he was eager to establish himself in Hong Kong!

An investment company is certainly not enough to break into Hong Kong's high society. If he could take the position of chairman of Lou's Group, his status in the Li family would also be elevated. In the face of a behemoth like the Li family, the personal connections of the elders in the past are no longer of much use!

If he cannot demonstrate his value in a short period of time, the Li family's doors will be closed, and he may not even be able to enter Dong Yong's door. That's how realistic society is. Your social circle is directly proportional to your strength. If you are better than others, you can rise to higher levels; otherwise, you will fall to the dust!
Therefore, if he was unwilling to be ordinary, he could only try to become a businessman or investment company with a certain influence in Hong Kong Island in a short period of time. Otherwise, his future survival would become more and more difficult, and the Zhao family would not take a third-rate person seriously. After so many years of operation, he never expected that the situation would be reversed in just half a month!

However, he still didn't believe that He Yuzhu was responsible for all of this. He was just a cook who had become a businessman by luck. He had almost no background and was just a nouveau riche in front of the Zhao family. How could such a person influence the polar bear?

Dong Yong had never been to the polar bear country and didn't understand that country, which is why he made such a judgment. He always thought He Yuzhu's abilities were top-notch, but in reality, it wasn't that simple. He preferred to believe that the wrong partner was chosen, and that the right answer was not to cooperate with Vladimir!
Vladimir and Elena were husband and wife, but they eventually separated. Elena naturally didn't want Vladimir to have an easy time, which led to their accounts being frozen, the trading company's cash flow drying up, and all their past misdeeds being brought up, resulting in Bang Geng taking the blame!
"Yes, after the newspaper published Mr. Lou's statement, He Qian contacted Lou Zhenhua immediately. Unfortunately, Lou Zhenhua refused, citing illness. Brother Tao, if you want to take over the Lou family business, you must act quickly!" "The first step is to buy a large number of individual shares on the stock market, while simultaneously trying to contact Lou Zhenhua to buy his shares. Then, go to White Eagle to acquire the shares held by Mr. Lou!"

"If we go too late, He's Investment might succeed. Don't forget, it's He Qian who's making the move now, He Yuzhu hasn't even made his move yet!"

"He Yuzhu's relationship with the Lou family is unusual. Lou Zhenhua will not refuse to see him, and there is a very high possibility that he will even sell his shares!"

Dong Yong urged Tao Wei to act quickly, as this was a task given to him by He Yuzhu. An invisible net was being spread out, and Tao Wei was He Yuzhu's target. The scene with the polar bear was definitely He Yuzhu's doing; this was the final harvest. This cook was indeed remarkable, which was why Tao Wei was doomed.
"He Yuzhu is back from China? That's impossible!"

Tao Wei's expression shifted. Fan Jinyou's scheme to turn Wu Zhengyuan against He's Entertainment's legal director hadn't yielded any results after so long. It was impossible for He Yuzhu not to be suspicious when he returned. Hadn't Fan Jinyou reported any news to him?

"They're back. Someone saw He Yuzhu and Young Master Huo having dinner with a Taiwanese executive at the Royal Hotel in Hong Kong Island. Isn't your information a bit outdated?"

Dong Yong was taken aback. Didn't you consider He Yuzhu your rival? How could you not know that he had returned to Hong Kong from mainland China? With this level of understanding, you dare to trip up the He family?

"I've been dealing with the polar bear issue lately, so it's perfectly fine that I haven't been paying attention. But Fan Jinyou has been keeping an eye on He's Entertainment, how come that bastard didn't notice? What a useless piece of trash!"

Tao Wei felt ashamed. He didn't even know He Yuzhu had returned from Shenzhou. Was He Qian's actions orchestrated by He Yuzhu? It seemed he really couldn't wait any longer!

"Think about it. Lou's Industry is in heavy industry and has a lot of business dealings with China. Haven't you always wanted to return to China? If you take over Lou's, you'll be an honored guest when you return to China. I'll be leaving now!"

"The company still has a lot of things to deal with. He Yuzhu is back, and once he personally takes charge, you won't have a chance!"

Dong Yong left after speaking. He had done what he needed to do. Whether He Yuzhu could succeed depended on whether Tao Wei was tempted! (End of Chapter)
