Chapter 279 Preparing to Acquire Lieqi Shipyard
Lu Chen returned home and before he had time to catch his breath, he called David and Daniel and invited them to his house today, saying that he had something to discuss. After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen slumped on the sofa and began to think.
He knew that the Washington family was currently focusing on finding Mitchell, but this was exactly what he wanted. Because only in this way could David and Daniel have a chance to successfully acquire the Lieqi Shipyard. However, achieving this goal was not easy. Lu Chen needed to plan carefully to ensure that every step was foolproof.
As night fell, David and Daniel arrived at Lu Chen's residence. Lu Chen personally greeted them in the study and invited Evelyn to join the discussion. In fact, Lu Chen did not want Evelyn to get involved at first, but after careful consideration, he realized that it would be difficult to acquire the Lieqi Shipyard with his current strength, so he had to seek cooperation from others. Compared with other strangers, it is obviously easier to accept to work with his girlfriend. After a brief hesitation, Lu Chen finally agreed to Evelyn's request to participate in this action.
In addition, Lu Chen also considered that letting Evelyn participate could help his future father-in-law establish an industry in the United States so that he could transfer his assets to the United States as soon as possible. After all, the art student will become the president of Germany next year, and he may ruthlessly attack the Jews at that time. Lu Chen sincerely hopes that his father-in-law and his family can avoid this catastrophe.
In the study, Lu Chen said to the people in front of him with a serious face:
"I called you all here this time mainly to discuss with you the matters related to the acquisition of Lieqi Shipyard."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room had different expressions. Among them, Evelin's reaction was the most intense. She had been looking for an opportunity to retaliate against Mitchell because of some unpleasant experiences she had with him before. Now that she heard that Lu Chen was planning to acquire the Lieqi Shipyard, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that this was a great opportunity to teach Mitchell a lesson.
Evelin was so delighted that she could hardly suppress her excitement. She couldn't wait to say, "This is great! Lu Chen, please tell me the specific plan as soon as possible. Just tell me what you need me to do. I will do my best to assist you in completing this acquisition." Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she had already seen the joyful scene after success.
In stark contrast to Evelin's ease and joy, David's face was full of sorrow at the moment, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his heart. He frowned and said to Lu Chen worriedly, "Mr. Lu, considering our current strength, it is an extremely difficult task to successfully acquire Lieqi Shipyard! Think about it, although the current share price of Lieqi Shipyard has dropped slightly, it still maintains a high level of around 40 yuan. In this way, their market value is about 800 million. But the problem is that we only have more than 100 million yuan in funds on hand, plus stocks worth about 100 million yuan, which is all we have. With this meager capital alone, even if you count the more than 10% of the shares you originally held, I am afraid it will be difficult to surpass the shareholding controlled by Mitchell. So, I personally don't have high expectations for this action plan to acquire Lieqi Shipyard."
After thinking for a while, Daniel said, "I thought about it. Even if we suppress the share price of Lieqi Shipyard through a series of operations, the possibility of successfully acquiring Lieqi Shipyard is still very small. You know, Mitchell's team will not easily sell the stocks they hold. Even if we buy all the stocks circulating in the market, the total share capital we hold is unlikely to exceed Mitchell's share. So, I don't agree to acquire Lieqi Shipyard now."
Seeing that both of them were opposed to Lu Chen's proposal, Evelin was the first to stand up and express her disagreement. She retorted in a very emotional tone:
"Don't forget, even if you are short of funds now, you still have me! I can provide you with hundreds of millions of funds! Besides, even if Mitchell himself does not agree to sell his shares, we can bribe other people in his company! Anyway, Mitchell is not the only one manipulating the stock. As long as they secretly sell some stocks to us, we will have more stocks than Mitchell!"
Lu Chen thought for a moment and responded, "Of course I understand that this is a difficult move, but now that Mitchell is missing, Lieqi Shipyard is in a dilemma without a leader. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for us to acquire Lieqi Shipyard. Once they find Mitchell, I'm afraid we won't have such a good opportunity again. In my opinion, we should seize this opportunity and absorb as many shares of Lieqi Shipyard as possible. Even if we fail to successfully acquire Lieqi Shipyard this time, it doesn't matter."
After listening to Lu Chen's explanation, Daniel and the other person's eyes became brighter. They only needed to buy stocks and did not need to force the acquisition. This task was much easier for them. Daniel thought for a while and said:
"If that's the case, then it will be much easier for us to implement it. After all, Mitchell is now kidnapped, and we can use this to create some negative news against the Lieqi Shipyard, and at the same time sell some stocks appropriately. In this way, those retail investors will definitely follow suit blindly. In this way, we can not only purchase stocks smoothly, but also get them at a lower price."
David also echoed, "Yes, yes, we can make up some explosive news, such as Mitchell was kidnapped because he owed money and the kidnappers demanded money to redeem him."
When Lu Chen heard this, he immediately thought it was a great idea, but then he started to worry: "But how can I make other people believe it? This is really a difficult problem."
Evelyn said confidently, "It's just spreading some negative rumors about Mitchell. I'll take care of it! I'm familiar with the owners of several newspapers. For them, this is just a piece of cake."
Lu Chen looked at Evelin with envy on his face, and secretly sighed in his heart: Damn, the network resources of these wealthy nobles are really powerful, and they can get to know all kinds of people.
