One week later.
Chen Xi pushed the door in with a document and placed it in front of Zhao Chen:
"Zhao Zong, Yunnan Agriculture Group updated IPO Prospectus."
Zhao Chen lowered his head and flipped through a few pages, his brows moving slightly.
"What about the cash transaction ratio?"
Chen Xi said:
"At about 29%, it only dropped 5 points."
Zhao Chen Close the file:
"It seems that their problems are difficult to solve at once."
Chen Xi looked at him:
"Do you think they can survive this time?"
Zhao Chen shook his head:
"There's a high probability that you won't be able to pass."
He paused:
"The proportion of cash transactions is so high and the equity is so concentrated, Public Offering Review Committee will not be able to pass the test."
Chen Xi thoughtfully:
"Then let's..."
Zhao Chen said:
"Keep watching. When they are rejected, we will take action."
While Zhao Chen and Chen Xi were discussing Shennong Group Prospectus, another piece of news began to circulate in the market.
<Henglong was exposed to have contacted many pig companies, and rumors of entering the breeding industry have resurfaced>
<Zhao Chen's next stop: pig farming?>
<From real estate to breeding, how far can Henglong's cross-border road go?>
On the Snowball platform, investors were in a quarrel.
"Henglong really wants to raise pigs? Seriously?"
"The real estate business is shrinking, and with so much cash on hand, why not raise pigs?"
"Can raising pigs be more profitable than real estate?"
"Now Pig Cycle is at the bottom, just in time."
"Zhao Chen, this person has really poisonous vision."
"Stop bragging. I'm just doing research, but I haven't really invested in it."
"The official Weibo didn't say anything, why are you so anxious?"
The discussion is getting more and more lively.
Someone went to the Henglong official account to ask:
"@Henglong Group I heard you want to raise pigs? Is it true?"
"Are you still recruiting people? I can go raise pigs!"
"Stop being pretentious and give me the truth!"
The official Weibo was silent.
It wasn't until 3 p. m. that I sent a brief reply:
"The company has indeed conducted preliminary research on the Live Pigs breeding industry. As of now, it has not made any investment. Thank you for your attention."
This reply is tantamount to a disguised admission of the rumor.
The comment area is abuzz again.
"Damn it, it's true!"
"Zhao Chen is really going to raise pigs!"
"Raising pigs across borders is a bit cynical."
"With three billion in cash in hand, why not raise pigs?"
"The bottom of Pig Cycle is now, it's just right to go in."
"Zhao Chen is a person who is scolded every time for not being able to understand, but he is proven right every time."
"Don't be shy, raising pigs is really not a sure thing."
"We'll see."
Lu Shen was leaning on the sofa, holding his mobile phone in his hand. On the screen was the reply from Henglong's official WeChat account.
"As of now, no investments have been made."
He sneered.
I didn't invest, but I did some research.
Zhao Chen This person never does anything he is not prepared for.
Now that he has started researching, it means that he has made up his mind.
Lu Shen put down the phone and looked at the person opposite:
"Lin Wanqing, can your relationship with Henglong still be used?"
Lin Wanqing nodded:
"There are some middle-level people still there who can get some information."
Lu Shen said:
"Go and ask, what exactly does Zhao Chen want to do?"
Lin Wanqing looked at him:
"Mr. Lu is also interested in this?"
Lu Shen was silent for two seconds.
He didn't want to admit it, but he did have some... approval of Zhao Chen's vision.
That person, from the time he took over Henglong, he was on point every step of the way.
Rights Issue, clearing off the balance sheet, selling properties, reducing debt - every step is like playing chess, seeing farther than everyone else.
If such a person is suddenly interested in the pig industry, there must be a reason.
"Go check it out," he said. "The sooner the better."
Lin Wanqing nodded, picked up the phone and walked out Balcony.
Twenty minutes later, she came back.
"Mr. Lu, please find out more."
She sat down opposite Lu Shen, "Zhao Chen is indeed laying out the pig industry.
He sent people to contact several pig companies, including Yunnan Agriculture Group of Yunnan, Sichuan Agriculture Development of Xichuan, Muyuan Shares of Henan, etc."
Lu Shen's brow moved slightly:
"Yunnan Agriculture Group?"
Lin Wanqing nodded:
"Yunnan is preparing for an IPO. Zhao Chen has met with their founder, and the talks should be good."
Lu Shen was silent for a few seconds.
Then he picked up the phone and dialed a number:
"Find me some research reports on the Live Pigs breeding industry. Quickly."
Soon, the information Lu Chen needed was sent to her computer.
At this moment, several brokerage research reports were open on his computer screen.
Lu Shen Look at each one one by one.
The research report of Guotai Junan said:
The depletion of production capacity under the pressure of environmental protection has led to this round of unique Pig Cycle. The price of pigs has been on a downward trend throughout 2017, but it can still maintain a relatively high level.
The research report of Guojin Securities said:
The number of Sows of Breeding Age is only 35.86 million, which is at a historical low and far below the industry-recognized balance of supply and demand of 40 million.
Shenwan Hongyuan's research report said:
We are currently in the off-season for pork consumption, and it is expected that pig prices may continue to decline until the peak season arrives in December.
An article by Southern Rural News said:
This downward cycle has just begun. In the second half of this year and even next year, Live Pigs breeding enterprises will gradually enter a period of total losses.
Lu Shen looked at them one by one, frowning more and more.
Live Pigs The breeding industry has indeed entered the bottom of the cycle.
And this bottom may last for more than a year.
In other words, entering now is a good time to buy at the bottom.
He leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling.
Zhao Chen's vision is indeed poisonous.
This person, from real estate to pig raising, steps on the cycle every step of the way.
It's not luck, it's really understanding.
Lu Shen felt a complex emotion in his heart.
Anger? Jealousy? Or... approval?
He didn't want to admit it, but he did admire the junior student who was ten years younger than him.
Unfortunately, they are rivals.
He turned back and told Lin Wanqing:
"Check for me which pig companies Henglong has come into contact with. All the lists, the more detailed the better."
Lin Wanqing responded, turned around and left to make a phone call.
Lu Shen looked out the window again.
The night view of Lujiazui is as bright as the stars.
He recalled the articles comparing him to Zhao Chen.
"One is currently studying and the other has graduated many years ago. How much is the difference in net worth now?"
"The taker is really solid."
"Zhengfa University's worst alumnus."
These words pierced his heart like a thorn.
But now, he has a chance to come back.
Whatever Zhao Chen likes must be good.
He wants to get ahead of Zhao Chen and get all these good things.
Cut off the beard.
Treat others in their own way.
Lin Wanqing walked in from the door and put a glass of water in his hand:
"Mr. Lu, what are you going to do?"
Lu Shen looked at her:
"Are you asking about the result? Give it to me."
Lin Wanqing took out a piece of paper from the bag and handed it to him.
Lu Shen glanced at it.
Yunnan Agriculture Group, Sichuan Agriculture Development, Zhongke Animal Husbandry... seven or eight names, densely packed.
He nodded:
"Check these companies one by one. Funding status, Equity Structure, listing progress, and whether they have financing needs."
He looked at Lin Wanqing:
"I want to take action before they conclude negotiations with Zhao Chen."
Lin Wanqing nodded:
"Understood."
She turned to leave, but Lu Shen suddenly stopped her:
"Lin Wanqing."
She looked back.
Lu Shen looked at her with complicated eyes:
"Tell me, is Zhao Chen's vision really that accurate?"
Lin Wanqing was silent for a second.
Then she said:
"Mr. Lu, I have been with Henglong for thirteen years. I have watched Zhao Jianguo build the company into tens of billions, and I have also watched him fail step by step.
When Zhao Chen took over, everyone thought Henglong was finished. What was the result?"
She paused:
"Although I hate him, it is undeniable that his vision is indeed accurate."
Lu Shen said nothing.
Lin Wanqing Push the door and leave.
Lu Shen is the only one left among Study.
He looked out the window for a long time.
Then he picked up the list and read it again.
Zhao Chen, you want to raise pigs.
Then I will play with you.
