Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 928

With the financial resources and abundant business resources that He Yuzhu has accumulated in the business world, it is as easy as taking candy from a bag for him to easily spend millions to buy a listed company with a lower market value.

To him, this was just a small, insignificant branch pulled out from the vast wealth map, just a routine and uneventful operation.

Faced with the current complex business situation, He Yuzhu is well aware that opportunities are fleeting and that he must act decisively and swiftly.

He immediately summoned Huang Zhirou, his words filled with unquestionable decisiveness: "Zhirou, go and collect all the information about Williams, no matter how big or small. Don't miss any details. Make sure it is thorough."

Then, he scanned the industry reports stacked on his desk and added, "Don't overlook even those companies with small market capitalizations or scale. Have your team compile and gather all the necessary information, from their founding backgrounds and development histories to their equity structures, core businesses, market share, and profit models. We must thoroughly investigate and gain a comprehensive understanding so we can prepare for subsequent actions."

Huang Zhirou understood what he meant and quickly turned around to arrange the tasks.

Time passed quietly in the busyness, and before I knew it, it was already afternoon.

The warm sunlight shines through the large windows, gently falling on the desk like a veil, giving the entire office a golden glow.

He Yuzhu sat at his desk, his fingers crossed under his chin, thinking for a long time, sorting out information from all sides in his mind.

After a moment, he reached out and picked up the phone, and his slender fingers skillfully dialed Huo Yingdong's number.

A familiar voice soon came from the other end of the phone. He Yuzhu didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Mr. Huo, it's been a while since we've met. Are you free this afternoon? Let's have afternoon tea together and chat about the latest happenings in the business world."

In a tea restaurant in Central known for its classical Chinese style, the carved wooden windows are half-closed, blocking out the hustle and bustle of the street market.

Inside the store, soft warm yellow lights pour down, interweaving with the soothing and melodious guzheng music, outlining a quiet world.

He Yuzhu and Ho Ying-tung sat opposite each other in a private seat by the window. Classic Cantonese shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns and other exquisite dim sum were scattered on the table. Steaming Pu'er tea was rising from the blue and white porcelain teapot, quietly casting a veil of mystery over the meeting.

He Yuzhu, dressed in a neat suit, leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip, letting the warm tea slowly glide down his throat. Then, with a steady gaze across from him, he slowly spoke, "Old Huo, you've heard about the clash between the staff of our two ferry companies at the dock, and a brawl ensued."

Huo Yingdong's originally relaxed brows were suddenly tightened as if by an invisible big hand, and instantly twisted into a deep "chuan" character.

A subtle flash of worry crossed his eyes. He nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I heard. This situation is extremely difficult, like a tangled mess. No matter how you try to sort it out, it's impossible to be clear. The prospects are really not optimistic. If this matter is not handled properly, judging by the current situation, I'm afraid it will cause a huge storm in this seemingly calm business world, disturbing the peace of Hong Kong and causing considerable turmoil."

He Yuzhu sighed helplessly, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, his face full of worry, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

"Yes, the situation is even more serious than I expected. They had planned this long ago and were extremely well prepared. It's obvious they were trying to intimidate us. One of our captains was severely beaten by them. The scene was simply unbearable to watch. They broke the captain's thigh, dislocating the bones. His right hand was also severely fractured at the wrist, with severe muscle and nerve damage. The doctor asserted that it would be difficult for him to regain his former flexibility. This is no ordinary conflict; it's clearly a brutal attack, intended to completely crush our morale!"

"This is too much!" When Huo Yingdong heard this, his originally calm face was instantly covered with anger. He stood up suddenly and slammed the table heavily with his right hand. The teacup on the table was shaken violently and almost fell over.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and anger, and he shouted angrily, "How could they be so harsh? Business battles are often fierce, but this time they have completely crossed the line. This is not just an ordinary business conflict, it's clearly a violent crime, with no business ethics or legal bottom line!"

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly, the bitterness on his face becoming more and more intense, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

Chapter 685

"The route from the Macao River to the Hong Kong River is the most profitable 'gold vein' for the Yu Ren Water Boat Company. We invested heavily in developing this route, purchasing the most advanced hydrofoils and meticulously honing our service quality, hoping to gain a foothold in these waters. Thanks to our advanced equipment, faster speeds and more stable sailing, coupled with the attentive and considerate service of our crew, passengers are drawn to us, which naturally steals business from the Yu Ren Water Boat Company. How can they be happy? They must be filled with anger, just waiting for an opportunity to vent their anger. But no matter how much we planned, we didn't expect them to resort to such unscrupulous means and retaliate in such an extreme way. Business is business, and we should abide by business rules and uphold the bottom line of the law, but they ignore them completely. Their behavior is truly despicable."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yingdong looked solemn and slowly fell into deep thought, his eyes wandering in the distance, as if he was repeatedly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long time, he raised his head, sighed slightly, and said slowly in a low but steady voice:

"Although I don't own any shares in the casino business, the entertainment company still owes you a million dollars in cash. Given this relationship, I'm naturally very concerned about the company's future development. After all, we're all in this together, sharing both prosperity and adversity. This incident is no small matter and must be handled with utmost care and caution. If it's not handled properly and damages the company's reputation, our business will suffer, and all the hard work we've put in will be for nothing."

The two chatted about the fight for a long time, like two senior criminal investigation experts immersed in case analysis.

They carefully analyze each other's motives, unraveling the psychological layers to explore what deep emotions drive their actions.

From the perspective of interest relations, just like checking account details, the economic disputes and conflicts of interests behind the scenes are sorted out one by one.

Based on the clues at hand, the two of them opened their minds and boldly predicted the next possible actions to be taken, not missing any details, even the smallest signs, and taking them into consideration.

No possibility is missed, whether it is a reasonable speculation or a slightly bizarre idea, they are all brought out for repeated discussion.

After this conversation, the topic naturally turned to other business, like a stream flowing down the river.

When talking about emerging industries, they seemed to be in a vibrant bamboo forest, witnessing the development trends that are popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

From the rise of the sharing economy model to the penetration of artificial intelligence in various fields, each new direction is broken down in detail.

Going deep into specific projects and analyzing the size and consumption preferences of the target group in terms of market demand is like drawing an accurate user portrait.

In terms of technical support, exploring whether cutting-edge technologies can overcome project difficulties is like studying the structure of precision instruments.

In terms of capital recovery, the input-output ratio is estimated, and it is calculated when the cost can be recovered and profitability can be achieved.

As for potential cooperation opportunities, the two opened up and discussed how to integrate the resources of both sides, thinking about their own connections, equipment and other resources, and how to connect them with each other.

How to complement each other's strengths and how to complement the technical expertise of one party with the market channels of the other party.

The two of them talked back and forth, and the discussion was in full swing.

When they are in high spirits, they will write furiously in their notebooks from time to time to record the key ideas that suddenly come to their mind. The handwriting on the notebooks may be sloppy, but it is the trace of their thoughts that are eagerly expressed on the paper.

Or neat, it shows the cherishment of important ideas. Every stroke is a precious crystallization of the collision of thoughts.

The next morning, the sun was just beginning to shine. The soft sunlight was like a golden veil, carrying strands of warmth, carefully filtering through the polished window. It was like fine gold powder evenly sprinkled on the large office desk, covering the table with a layer of fine golden glow.

Outside the window, the breeze gently blows the branches, and light and shadows dance on the table.

Huang Zhirou had a perfect smile on her lips. She was wearing a simple and capable professional suit. The slim cut set off her elegant figure. She walked as lightly as a butterfly dancing in spring, and walked into the room gracefully.

She held the development plan for Tuen Mun steadily in her hand. The stack of documents was carefully bound, and the handwriting on the cover was neat and eye-catching.

This plan is incredible. It is as detailed as a meticulous painting down to the finest hair, presenting the future development blueprint of the Tuen Mun area without reservation and with incredible clarity.

The design plans for the two factories include everything from the division of different functional areas in the macro layout, such as how to scientifically plan the production area to ensure efficient operation, and how to locate the storage area to facilitate the flow of goods, to the selection of every brick and tile in the micro structure, from the sturdy and durable exterior wall bricks and stones to the internal panels with excellent sound insulation and heat insulation. All aspects are taken into consideration, and every detail can withstand rigorous scrutiny.

He Yuzhu took the plan and read it carefully page by page with a focused expression as if he was studying a rare treasure.

According to the plan, the spacious factory area is planned very reasonably.

The production line is arranged in a streamlined manner, with each link closely connected, which can not only ensure efficient operation but also reserve sufficient space for equipment placement. It is more than enough whether it is for introducing advanced equipment now or preparing for future capacity expansion.

The neatly arranged office area cleverly utilizes the building's orientation. Each window allows for just the right amount of natural light. The ingeniously designed ventilation system keeps the indoor air fresh at all times. It's almost as if you can already foresee future employees concentrating on typing on paper, enthusiastically discussing plans, and working efficiently in this comfortable environment.

The modern warehousing area adopts advanced logistics management concepts, and the goods warehousing process uses intelligent equipment to achieve rapid registration and accurate storage.

The outbound routes have been repeatedly simulated and planned in an orderly manner. Forklifts and porters can transport the goods out as quickly as possible, greatly improving logistics efficiency.

The clean and tidy canteen is designed very thoughtfully. The food sales windows are divided into zones according to the type of dishes to reduce the waiting time for employees. The tables and chairs are placed at a proper density to ensure that the dining space is spacious while providing a variety of food to meet the taste needs of different employees.

The comfortable and pleasant dormitory area is fully equipped with all kinds of living facilities. The beds are made of high-quality materials, soft and durable. The bathroom facilities are not only fully equipped, but also focus on water conservation and convenience.

From the strict deployment of the security system, 24-hour monitoring and patrols, to the aesthetic considerations of the green layout, planting various green plants to create a garden-like environment, the entire design plan, from the big framework to the details, is carefully considered and rationally laid out, making it clear at a glance. Every detail demonstrates professionalism and care, like a carefully crafted commercial castle, carrying infinite possibilities for future vigorous development.

He Yuzhu took the plan and scanned it line by line, with appreciation in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.

After quickly browsing through it, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and without any hesitation, he reached out and pulled out the pen from the pen holder.

The tip of the pen touched the paper lightly, his wrist moved flexibly, the strokes were smooth, each stroke seemed to be carefully carved, and he signed his name on the document in a dashing manner.

The smooth lines seemed to be writing an exciting song of the future, announcing to everyone his full confidence in future projects, as if he had foreseen the glorious scene after the project's success.

Next, Huang Zhirou handed Williams the information about the Yu Ren Group.

Yu Ren Group is like a business giant. Its business scope is like a huge and intricate spider web, with its tentacles extending widely into various fields. It owns two listed companies.

One of them was the Yu Ren Water Boat Company, which He Yuzhu had heard of before.

In the current capital market, Yu Ren Watercraft Company has a market value of approximately 200 million.

In the fiercely competitive field of shipbuilding, it has emerged in the industry with its exquisite manufacturing technology and unique design concept, occupied a certain market share, and has become a force that cannot be ignored in the industry.

Another listed company is Yu Ren Insurance Company, which adheres to a prudent business strategy and continues to deepen its presence in the insurance market by actively expanding its customer base.

With its wide variety of insurance products, including common life insurance and property insurance, as well as customized insurance for special industries, it can meet the diverse needs of different customers. Coupled with high-quality and thoughtful service, its market value has steadily climbed to about 1000 million, firmly occupying an important place in the insurance market and becoming a trusted choice for many policyholders.

He Yuzhu sat in front of a large desk, the desk lamp casting a warm yellow light. He was concentrating on studying the mountain of information in front of him.

His brows were furrowed from time to time, and his mind was like a high-speed engine running, quickly sorting out the group's complex and intertwined business structure and analyzing its solid position in the ever-changing market.

Sometimes he would pick up a pencil and circle and draw on the white paper, accurately recording key data and carefully analyzing potential risks. As his research deepened, he had a clearer and deeper understanding of the scale and strength of the Ren Group than ordinary people.

After finishing one company task after another, I glanced up and my eyes fell on the clock on the wall. I noticed that the hands were quietly approaching 9 o'clock. The night outside the window was getting darker, and the city lights were shining brightly in front of me.

He Yuzhu stood up slowly, as if to shake off all the fatigue in his body.

He stretched his body, raised his arms high, and stretched.

As he moved, his bones made a slight "cracking" sound, as if protesting against his long sitting time.

He Yuzhu rubbed his sore neck, straightened his clothes, and then walked towards the stairs with steady steps.

The street downstairs is bustling with traffic and people coming and going.

He Yuzhu blended in and walked towards the Duke not far away.

The Duke's Bank is quite famous in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is located on the floor above the Duke's Bank.

This was He Yuzhu's first time here, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

His eyes showed a childlike curiosity about new things, like an adventurer about to step into a mysterious cave and explore unknown treasures.

There was also a hint of uneasiness, just like a new soldier about to step into an unfamiliar battlefield full of dangers and fight for the first time.

When he took the elevator upstairs, the elevator door slowly opened with a "ding" sound, and he saw the front desk of the stock exchange.

The reception area is meticulously planned, with a marble countertop polished to an extremely smooth finish, reflecting the simple yet softly lit chandelier above.

On the background wall, the exchange logo is prominently hung. The logo is composed of smooth, simple and powerful lines. Under the precise lighting of soft light, every detail is highlighted.

As you step into this place, you will be overwhelmed by an invisible sense of oppression, which makes you instantly realize that this is the core area of ​​capital transactions. Every transaction, no matter how big or small, may be like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves in the market.

However, just as He Yuzhu raised his foot and was about to stride towards the front desk, the girl in charge of the front desk reception seemed to have noticed something unusual. She flashed and quickly appeared in front of him, raising her hand to block his way.

Her eyes were extremely sharp, like a well-trained hound with a keen sense of smell, looking back and forth at He Yuzhu.
