Very few people would refuse Lu Shen's invitation.
Blackstone China's identity as vice president is still useful in this circle.
The first person I met with was Mr. Zhang, a partner of a private equity fund.
The two have collaborated on several projects and have been brothers for several years.
After calling, the other party agreed, "Mr. Lu will definitely arrive if he asks."
In Private Room, Lu Shen makes tea by himself.
Mr. Zhang opened the door and came in with his usual smile on his face:
"Mr. Lu, what's so urgent?"
Lu Shen pour him tea:
"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I need stocks. Henglong stocks."
Mr. Zhang's hand holding the tea paused.
Lu Shen continued, "Sell me the 5 million shares in your hand. The premium is 30%."
Mr. Zhang put down his tea cup and his smile became lighter:
"Mr. Lu, you are making things difficult for me."
Lu Shen looked at him:
"Our friendship for so many years..."
Mr. Zhang interrupted him:
"Friendship is friendship, and business is business. Mr. Lu, everyone in the circle knows about your current situation.
If I sell you the 5 million shares, if you are unable to close the position later and the stock price skyrockets, how will I explain it to my client?"
Lu Shen was silent for two seconds:
"In premium trading, I also have an explanation to my customers, but I just make less money."
Mr. Zhang shook his head:
"This is too risky. If you don't get it right, your brand will be ruined."
He stood up:
"Mr. Lu, I drank this tea today. I'm sorry about the stock."
The door is closed.
Lu Shen sat there alone, looking at the untouched cup of tea.
The second appointment was with Mr. Chen, the head of the investment department of a state-owned enterprise.
Lu Shen has helped him before and the relationship is good.
Mr. Chen arrived on time, but with a polite smile on his face.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see."
Lu Shen Get straight to the point:
"Mr. Chen, can you sell me the 3 million shares you have? At a premium of 40%."
Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment:
"40%?"
Lu Shen nodded:
"Yes. As long as you are willing to sell, the price can be negotiated."
Mr. Chen was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed:
"Mr. Lu, it's not that I won't help you. I can't make the decision in this matter.
The leaders above are watching, and such sensitive operations cannot be approved."
Lu Shen's face changed for a moment.
Mr. Chen looked at him and lowered his voice:
"Mr. Lu, in your current situation, to be honest, who would dare to get involved?"
Lu Shen's hand clenched the teacup tightly.
But he didn't say anything.
Mr. Chen stood up and patted his shoulder:
"Take care."
People are gone.
The tea is cold.
The third appointment was with Mr. Li, the investment director of an insurance company.
This time, Lu Shen changed the approach.
After the opening greetings, he started by saying:
"Mr. Li, sell me the 4 million shares in your hand at a premium of 50%.
In addition, Blackstone has a project next year, and I can give you priority."
Mr. Li's eyes lit up.
"What project?"
Lu Shen nodded:
"Blackstone's resources in Asia, you know, I can't say too much now."
Mr. Li thought for a long time.
Then he asked:
"Can you guarantee that?"
Lu Shen said:
"I guarantee this as the vice president of Blackstone China."
Mr. Li picked up the wine glass and took a slow sip.
Then he said:
"3 million shares. 50% premium. I have to keep the remaining 1 million."
Lu Shen gritted his teeth:
"Deal."
When signing the agreement, his fingers were shaking slightly.
Not for these 3 million shares.
It's because of the sentence just now - "guarantee as the vice president of Blackstone China".
He used the company's resources.
He used something he shouldn't have touched.
But he couldn't help it.
The second appointment was with Wang Zong, the person in charge of a certain Family Office.
The two of them had dealt with each other several times before and were not familiar with each other.
But Wang Zong holds 6 million shares.
Lu Shen Get straight to the point:
"Wang Zong, I want all of your 6 million shares. The premium is 60%."
Wang Zong raised his eyebrows:
"60%? Mr. Lu is spending a lot of money."
Lu Shen said:
"As long as you are willing to sell it, the price is easy to negotiate."
Wang Zong leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him:
"Mr. Lu, your state is not quite right."
Lu Shen said nothing.
Wang Zong said:
"I know you are short of chips. But if I sell all 6 million shares to you, I will be empty.
What should my customers do if the stock price of Henglong skyrockets?"
Lu Shen Take a deep breath:
"Blackstone has two projects next year, I can give them to you first."
Wang Zong's eyes moved slightly.
"Which two projects?"
Lu Shen reported two names.
Wang Zong thought for a full minute.
Then he stretched out his hand:
"4 million shares. 60% premium. Sign the agreement."
Lu Shen holds his hand:
"Deal."
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lu Shen returned to the hotel.
Zhou Huai stood in front of Lu Shen, holding a list in his hand.
"Mr. Lu, we have negotiated a total of 7 deals today, totaling 19 million shares. The average price is 24.5, and the total amount is 465 million."
Lu Shen leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed.
Zhou Huai said carefully:
"But we still have more than 70 million shares..."
Lu Shen didn't move.
Zhou Huai continued:
"Basically everything that can be discussed in the market has been discussed.
The remaining ones are either really not for sale, or they are waiting for us to continue to increase the price. Add..."
He didn't finish.
But Lu Shen knows what he wants to say.
In addition, even if the position is closed, it will still be a huge loss.
Lu Shen opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
19 million shares.
It cost 465 million.
The average premium is already over 40%.
I also caught up with several projects of Blackstone.
But he still has 70 million shares in his hand.
Will the bulls give him the opportunity to buy Secondary Market?
Those people are all bloodthirsty sharks. Now that they smell blood, can they easily let him go?
Zhou Huai asked softly:
"Mr. Lu, will you continue tomorrow?"
Lu Shen was silent for a long time.
Then he spoke:
"Continue."
His voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible:
"As much as you can buy, that's up to you."
Zhou Huai looked at him and suddenly felt that this man was ten years older.
The former high-spirited Vice President Blackstone China,
The complacent winner who stood at the signing reception is now like a desperate gambler, desperately trying to get the last straw at the poker table.
He said nothing and turned to leave.
Lu Shen is the only person left in the room.
He looked at the dark night outside the window, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he was on the podium of Zhengfa University, talking to a group of junior students.
At that time, he was a successful person, an outstanding alumni, and the envy of everyone.
What now?
Now he sits here, like a trapped beast, hit a wall in the west.
And the junior student whom he looked down upon was sitting in Henglong Building's office, waiting for him to kneel down and beg for mercy.
He closed his eyes.
In order to close his position, he has used a lot of resources. Will these eventually become a lever for his opponents to attack him?
He can't control so much anymore.
As long as you are still the vice president of Blackstone China and have some resources, you can serve yourself.
Tomorrow, we will continue.
Use the resources of Blackstone and Jiahe to help yourself out of trouble.
But where is the road to tomorrow?
He doesn't know.
