Chapter 428: Three days apart feels like nine autumns

Zheng Qian suddenly felt that the stock market's limit-down rule was a bit problematic.

As long as a stock's decline reaches 10%, trading is halted, and buying or selling is prohibited. Otherwise, if it weren't for this rule, it would likely cause Jinhua Xinyue's stock price to plummet directly into the single digits.

This is where the advantage of a bear hug acquisition becomes apparent; it's also the strategy Wei Rusi provided to Zheng Qian.

That is, to propose directly to the other party's board of directors.

Offer a relatively superior price to make them waver in their thinking.

At this point, The Group would often begin to convene a board meeting. Most of the directors still want to make money, or at least don't want the stock in their hands to become increasingly worthless, so they usually agree to sell their shares.

In some cases, it might even lead the board of directors to collectively pressure The Group, forcing The Group to accept the acquisition proposal.

After all, the plan Zheng Qian provided wouldn't make them lose too much money; in fact, they might even make a profit.

If they don't agree, the stock will fall by 10% every day, and in just 10 days, it will drop below 1 yuan. At that point, it would trigger the delisting red line, which would be truly miserable.

Unless some major positive news appears during this period.

But, is that possible?

Who would accept a company with a massive debt of 18 billion yuan?

And that's just from that one land auction; who knows if their other ongoing real estate projects have other issues? Did they take out bank loans? Are they repaying them normally? Have they ensured normal construction after the project's pre-sale?

There are too many problems.

Unless one is doing charity, even a club would likely steer clear of it.

What's more, Zhang Qilian isn't even a member of a certain club.

According to the original plan, he had hopes of entering the Songshang Club, and it was even a sure thing. This is also the reason why the Sun Family and the Su Family were all trying to grovel before them.

But after this battle, they likely no longer have that possibility.

Also underway are acquisitions of a series of upstream supplier families for the Sun Family and the Su Family.

Zheng Qian may appear not to be in Subei, but in reality, his every move is profoundly affecting the survival of these two major families. Taking this opportunity, he directly took advantage of the momentum to temporarily form an asset acquisition department.

Led temporarily by Cui Ziqing, with Zhong Xiaoyao, Qin Xueli, Song Yaxian, and others participating.

Good news kept coming; several companies have already loosened their stance.

For this, Zheng Qian specifically set up a high bonus. There are a total of six companies to be acquired, and for every company successfully negotiated, a reward of 1% of the acquisition amount will be given.

The valuations of these companies are basically between one billion to several billion yuan.

In other words, the bonuses alone would be in the tens of millions.

Well, Zheng Qian just wouldn't admit that he was finding ways to farm money for himself.

Because whether it's acquisitions or bonuses... they all give him ten times the rebate, and he was almost numb with pleasure.

"Ah... you, what are you doing at the door?"

Su Yuanshuang pushed open the door and found Zheng Qian still standing at the door smoking.

Appearing with her was Wei Rusi, who had already woken up.

At this moment, she had no thought of hitting on Su Yuanshuang; her mind was full of the scene just before she fainted. In her view, this was simply tantamount to social death. Damn it, it was truly infuriating.

To actually let this guy Zheng Qian see her body...

And even carry her to the bed?

"Ah, well, I just took a call and was thinking about some things."

Zheng Qian awkwardly touched his nose, knowing full well that in this situation, he had to be thick-skinned. Otherwise, if this guy Wei Rusi held a grudge, it wouldn't just be as simple as their relationship breaking down; there were also banks and a whole series of subsequent matters.

She was already one of the most important people in the team now.

The most critical thing was that she was also a very close friend of Jin Lu; if she just left like this, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

Well, buttering her up by complimenting her appearance couldn't be wrong, right?

"Oh, Miss Wei, I haven't seen you for a few days, and it feels like you've become even prettier?"

"Get lost! I just saw you a moment ago!"

Wei Rusi had originally intended to temporarily put aside personal grievances and didn't want Jin Lu to misunderstand.

But she didn't expect Zheng Qian to really harp on the wrong string, making her think of what just happened again, and she was instantly furious! More importantly... she really wanted to interview Zheng Qian: how did he come up with such brain-dead words?

This sentence not only had grammatical errors, but it was also very infuriating!!!

"Haha, that's not necessarily true. The ancients said, 'A day without seeing you is like three autumns.' We haven't seen each other for three days, which means we haven't seen each other for nine years! You really have become better looking!"

Zheng Qian looked at Wei Rusi affectionately and said seriously.

Wei Rusi: ???

"You calculate it, 'one day' equals one sun, right?" Zheng Qian said, counting on his fingers.

Wei Rusi was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.

"Then you calculate again, 'three days' equals three suns, right?"

Seemed correct? Wei Rusi still nodded.

"Then look again, from this morning when I saw you, it's already noon now! Although the sun doesn't get bigger, don't you think that in terms of perception, the noon sun is three times bigger than the morning one? Doesn't that equal 'three days'?"

"Hahahaha! This is 'three days apart, like nine autumns,' right? So we've practically not seen each other for nine years!"

Zheng Qian threw his head back and laughed.

Wei Rusi: ????

[Favorability - 3]

This was already at the level of a complete stranger! It was now only 3 points!

Zheng Qian awkwardly lit a cigarette, not expecting Wei Rusi to be so unable to take a joke. This dad joke was definitely original, a manifestation of his quick wit, and he had thought it would melt the ice, but it felt like the temperature had dropped another three degrees.

It was over. When they first met, the Favorability was 11 points, and Zheng Qian still felt there was a lot of room to maneuver.

But after that bizarre operation just now.

He estimated that when she fainted, the Favorability dropped by 5 points, and it just dropped another 3 points.

Dropping directly to 3 points, was that even okay?

He had topped up 10 million in her card at the restaurant, and the Favorability didn't move at all, not even increasing by 1 point. Instead, when it dropped, it was very brisk, sliding down rapidly; how could this be?

What on earth does this young lady like?

[Gurgle—]

Just then, Wei Rusi's stomach made a gurgling sound, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

[Gurgle—]

Not knowing if it was to keep her company, Su Yuanshuang's stomach also growled.

Well, it seemed both of them were hungry.

"Hahaha, I'm hungry too, so let's go get something to eat!" Zheng Qian clapped his hands. "Let's go, ladies, let's walk around the area; maybe we'll get some inspiration."

Su Yuanshuang took her arm and said with a smile, "Let's go. It's not easy to come to Shanghu once, so how could we not fleece the boss? Today, let's make Zheng Qian bleed heavily; he loves buying things for girls."
