C260 He's Not Done with the Huang Father and Son

Fan Xuehua was surprised to see Li Fan's firm tone, his attitude, and his lack of hesitation. He thought to himself, Hucheng Group has nothing to do with the Huang father and son. What are they trying to do?

At the auction at the beginning of the year, Hua Cheng Corporation and Hanhong electronics had a life and death battle for the rights to the land in the West Bay. Fan Xuehua had heard about it from his father, and it was very detailed and vivid.

In Fan Xuehua's view, this was a very normal competition between companies. There was no problem of who wanted to harm who behind the scenes. Whether it was victory or defeat, it all depended on one's own power.

In the end, after Hanhong Appliances obtained the rights to that piece of land in the West Bay, they started to build the high-end villa district in Longyuan Jiayuan and naturally became competitors with Huacheng Group in the real estate industry.

When his father talked about this matter, he still had a regretful expression on his face. In a regretful tone, he said that at the critical moment of life and death, his heart actually softened and he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to compete to the end. As a result, all his previous efforts were in vain. He gave Hanhong Appliances a big cake that had all kinds of flavors and flavors.

At that time, why didn't you grit your teeth and persist until the end? After listening to his father's words that were filled with regret, Fan Xuehua actually couldn't help but ask this question in front of his face. Because his father's performance at the final moment of the auction had aroused his great interest.

His father shook his head with a bitter smile and stared at his son's tender face. He sighed slightly and said something that confused him. Scholarly Hua, it's not that I don't dare to and I can't persist to the end. It's just that there's a reason for it.

This sentence confused Fan Xuehua and also made him understand the hidden meaning behind it. What exactly happened that day that made his ambitious father regrettably withdraw from the competition and give up the fruit of victory that he was about to obtain? Even until now, he still did not understand this mysterious factor.

At this moment, seeing Li Fan's very firm attitude when he said that the Huang father and son's true target was Hua Cheng Group, Fan Xuehua was shocked and also very naturally remembered the words that his father had once said that contained hidden meaning.

Could it be that they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when Fan Wenbin was hospitalized and was not in the company? Colluding with the manager, Zhou Boyi, to buy Hua Cheng Group at a low price, and then borrow the shell to be listed on the market? One had to know that a fortress was the easiest to break through from the inside.

As the saying goes, when the heart of the people is united, Mount Tai will move. Uniting and working together to form a city was the fundamental guarantee of success. This was a principle that everyone in the world knew. However, it was easier said than done. Furthermore, it was really too difficult.

In 1850, the United States' Lehman Brothers Company was founded by Lehman's three brothers, Henry Lehman, Emanuel Lehman, and Mayer Lehman. After several generations of hard work, in 1983, Lehman Brothers had a capital of about 250 million USD. It was not only one of Wall Street's largest investment banks, but also one of Wall Street's oldest partnerships.

However, on July 26, 1983, Lehman Brothers held a special meeting on the board of directors. Peterson announced his resignation to the president and general manager of the Lehman Brothers. This statement was quickly passed, and at the same time, Glaxman finally seized the highest authority in Lyman Company.

Three feet of ice, not a day of cold. The conflict between Peterson and Glaxman had been a long-standing conflict between the company's power struggles and the opposition between Wall Street banks and securities dealers.

After Gleksman took charge of the Lehman Brothers, he began to formulate plans to treat the Lehman Brothers' injuries. The prescription he used was to sacrifice the company's interests to satisfy his personal interests.

This was a very selfish and short-sighted prescription. Not only did it fail to treat the company's injuries, but it also failed to treat the Lehman Brothers' injuries. On the contrary, it quickly caused him to fall into a situation where he could not extricate himself from it.

In order to protect his hard-earned power and gain benefits, and to strengthen his influence on the board of directors, Graxsman made the decision without the approval of the board of directors to take in a new company.

A man named Peter Dowggins offered him a low-interest loan of one million USD to buy an apartment. Not only did Glaxmann agree to become a shareholder of the company and a member of the board of directors, but he also gave Peter Dowggins an annual salary of 750,000 USD.

What could cause the company's anger was that Glaxman and his partners changed the percentage of dividends of the company's partners at will and violated the economic interests of the company's partners, causing a lot of complaints.

Ever since Lehman Brothers was established, there was a very traditional way of doing things. This was that the general manager had the right to make a final decision on the annual dividends of the company's partners, including how much the seven permanent commissar dividends would be.

Graxman took advantage of this opportunity to propose a new plan for dividends and dividends on the board of directors. In the new plan, he raised the dividends of himself and the other four senior members from 1982 to 1. 5 million USD.

This caused the dividends of most bills and dealers to increase to different degrees. At the same time, the dividends of many banks decreased, and the distribution of shares of other partners was even more so.

In the past, the board of directors had decided on the redistribution of 102,000 shares per year. The shares of the main partners rarely increased or decreased, but this time, the shares of Galaxman increased from 3500 shares last year to 4,500 shares, while the others did not increase by much.

Faced with the growing selfish desires of the company, many of the partners and directors could no longer tolerate it. In October 1983, many company partners left one after another. The company's internal people were unfocused, and the company's capital was only 177 million USD.

With such a small amount of capital, it was impossible to compete with Wall Street's powerful financial institutions. At the same time, it was also difficult to maintain Lehman Brothers' annual expenditure of 437 million USD.

The house leaks and rainy days, and the ship was late and the wind started blowing. In the fickle and unpredictable stock market, many transactions suddenly became empty transactions. Lehman Brothers' profits tax was reduced, and their business was unprecedentedly dull.

From October 1, 1983 to March 31, 1984, the profits of the Lehman Brothers decreased by 11. 6 million USD. In March 1984, the stock and fixed income trading department suffered a loss of 12. 6 million USD. Even after the 7 million USD profit from the bank's Money Management Department, it still suffered a loss of 5. 5 million USD.

Under such dire circumstances, the Lehman Brothers could only get rid of their current difficulties by absorbing a large amount of external capital. There were many ways to absorb external capital, but no matter which method it took, it would jeopardize the company's traditional independent status and shake the foundation of Greksman's personal power.

On March 1984, Gackersman received a call from Hillson, the chairman of American Express Company, Cohen. He expressed that he was willing to extend the "Hand of God" to Lehman Brothers, which was in a precarious situation.

On April 3rd, both parties held negotiations in the private dining room of the chairman of Merika Express Company. The moment the negotiations started, Glaxman asked, "If Lehman Brothers and Merika Express Company merge, the premise of this transaction is that I must give up my position?"

Kohen had a cold sneer on his face. He looked at this guy who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, who did not even know the difference between life and death, and replied in an extremely arrogant tone, "You are right, that is it. "

When the negotiation ended, Kohen once again said something that made Graham feel ashamed of himself with a very cold expression. "I want to make it clear to you that I am not interested in controlling a small number of shares. What I am interested in is a complete mess. "

Just like that, the Lehman Brothers Company, which had been through constant wins and losses in 134 years, finally collapsed in the internal power struggle. They left behind deep regrets and at the same time, became the laughing stock of the business world.

From this, it could be seen how important the unity within a company was. However, in real life, the internal power struggle within a company was not uncommon. This kind of abominable and terrifying internal consumption would push a perfectly fine company to the brink of collapse.

Thinking of this, Fan Xuehua actually felt a trace of regret in his heart. If he had known that the situation would develop to such a terrifying stage, he would not have listened to Wang Shao Lan's words and sent his father to the Mental Health Center in Xijing City. Instead, he would have stayed in Daan County People's Hospital to receive treatment.

Of course, he knew very well that there was no medicine for regret in this world. Instead of regretting it, he might as well muster up all his courage and use all his strength to face the Huang father and son. He would go all out with the real guns and the real swords. He would fight to the end to decide who would win and who would lose.

At this moment, Fan Xuehua felt all the blood in his body gradually boiling. A strong and unyielding spirit unique to the descendants of the Fan family instantly made his face turn red. He said hatefully, "If the Huang father and son dare to interfere with Hucheng Group, I will not let them off. Even if I have to risk my life, I will not hesitate.

Fan Xuehua's face turned red, as if he wanted to fight to the end with the Huang father and son of the Huang Family. Li Fan was secretly delighted. He thought to himself, Young man, you have guts and personality, but you lack practical training and lack social experience. You are no different from me when I first entered the He Feng Bank.

Thus, he laughed and said loudly, "Little Fan, although it is commendable to have the spirit to risk your life, you still need to use this in the business world. " As he spoke, he pointed at his own head.

A few days ago, after receiving an emergency call from Yang Chongguang, the head of the Hu Yang Foundation, Li Fan did not dare to delay a second. He rushed to the provincial capital of Lanzhou overnight and reported to Yang Chongguang in detail about the business world of Daan, especially the current situation of Huacheng Group.

Li Fan's report took about 40 minutes from the beginning to the end. During this period, Yang Chongguang did not interject and just listened to every word. He was afraid that he would miss out on a very important word.

Up until now, he could not help but feel no regret towards investing in Pioneer Company. Moreover, he was quite satisfied. Along with the rapid increase of the company's workload, not only was it very famous in the business world of Daan, but it also gradually gained the recognition of many customers in the four counties and two districts of Xijing City.

It seemed that he had made the right bet. In the cruel investment career, there were failures and successes. However, after meeting Fan Xuehua, he dared to make a decision to invest. Furthermore, he did not even frown, and the first move he made was tens of millions of dollars. Such a thing had never happened before.

In the beginning, Yang Chongguang was very optimistic about Fan Xuehua. He believed that Vanguard would have a bright future in the near future. Now, seeing Li Fan say this, Fan Xuehua also had the ambition to control Hucheng Group. This made him think more highly of this young man.

"This is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. " After listening to Li Fan's report, Yang Chongguang immediately revealed a rare smile and said loudly, "Fan Wenbin's illness has given many people an extremely rare opportunity. "

Of course, this also included him, Yang Chongguang. It was just that he did not make the topic clear. If it was said that he was only optimistic about the bright future of Vanguard, At this time, along with Fan Xuehua's vigorous ambition, Yang Chongguang also secretly developed an even greater desire.

Over the years, he had been rolling around in the ever-changing capital market, allowing him to recognize the magical power of capital. At the same time, he had also developed an ambition that far exceeded that of ordinary people.

At this time, Li Fan, who was drinking water, saw Yang Chongguang speak like this. Especially the last sentence, which made him secretly shocked. Could it be that the Hu Yang Foundation wanted to take advantage of the chaotic situation to get their hands on Hucheng Group?

Then, after thinking about it carefully, he understood. Although Hucheng Group had been in a state of loss for the past few years, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. With the golden signboard of a listed company, it had deeply attracted many ambitious entrepreneurs.

In this fierce and cruel competition, at present, those with such ambitions were Hefeng Financial Group, Shenzhen Phantom Company, and Merika's Ritino (China) Investment Company. Of course, there were still many schemers and schemers that had yet to surface.

"Xiao Li, return to Da An tomorrow. " Yang Chongguang put away his smile and said very seriously, "After you return, find a way to stimulate Fan Xuehua and let him participate in this competition at all costs. "

"Isn't there a saying in China that 'if you invite him, you may as well provoke him. ' As long as Fan Xuehua's fighting spirit can be ignited and he can fight to the death with Zhou Boyi and the others, then at that time, the situation will be very advantageous to us.

At this moment, even though he was sitting in Vanguard and discussing with Fan Xuehua how to deal with Huang Chengzong's long-planned provocation, Yang Chongguang's words echoed in Li Fan's head once again.

Thus, he made a thoughtful look and said softly, "Little Fan, you have to understand that the Huang father and son have been operating in the business world of Daan for several decades. They have a deep foundation and are not so easily defeated. "

It could not be denied that there were no loopholes in his words. It was a big truth that everyone knew. However, at this time, Li Fan's words concealed a great deal of provocation.

Then, he let out a long sigh and said with a worried tone: " Lil Fan, it's not that I'm looking down on you. Right now, with our strength, even if we are tightly bound together, whether we can defeat the Huang father and son is still two different matters.

As expected, when he saw Li Fan speak like this, Fan Xuehua only felt his blood rush to the top. Before he could finish speaking, he said sternly, "Even if I can't defeat the Huang father and son, I will definitely not be a coward, and I will definitely not run away and surrender. "

"Good, very well said. He knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, but he was leaning towards the tiger. If there was a father, he would have a son. He was a true hero. With your words, brother, I will be at ease.

Seeing this, Li Fan did not miss the opportunity to praise the other party. Then, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously," I will give you an idea. We will deal with the provocation of the Huang father and son in this way. "
